Inuyasha's raw power and array of skills outmatch Naraku's manipulations and tactical prowess. --- The sun dipped low over the Sengoku period, casting long shadows through the trees. Inuyasha stood firm, muscles coiled like a spring, his eyes locked on the sinister figure of Naraku lurking just ahead. Kagome stood nearby, gripping her bow tightly, a determined gleam in her eyes. "Inuyasha, be careful! Naraku's tricks are dangerous!" she warned, her voice steady despite the worry etched across her face. "Don't sweat it, Kagome! I’ve fought this bastard before. He won't get away this time," Inuyasha growled, his claws flexing as he summoned his Tetsusaiga. Naraku emerged from the shadows with a sly grin, a miasmic fog swirling around him. "Inuyasha, my dear half-demon, you never learn. You charge in, but against my cunning, you're just a pup barking at the moon." "Oh yeah?" Inuyasha snapped, swinging the Tetsusaiga. "You think you can stop me? I’ve got my friends with me! Kagome, ready those arrows!" You tremendous wind surged as Inuyasha powered up, shouting, “BACKLASH WAVE!” The Tetsusaiga glowed with ferocity. The air vibrated as a wave erupted from him, tearing through the miasma like paper. "Impressive," Naraku smirked, raising a barrier just in time, but his composure faltered. The blow sent ripples of doubt through him. "You fight with such passion. But you’re still outmatched!" "Passion? That’s right, and it’s stronger than your tricks!" Inuyasha roared, charging forward as Naraku summoned a swarm of demon minions to the fray. "Consume him!" Naraku commanded, seeking to overwhelm Inuyasha with numbers. But in that moment, Kagome let her arrow fly, the sacred light cutting through darkness, leading a path straight to Inuyasha. “Inuyasha, now!” Kagome shouted, her voice slicing through the chaos. With no hesitation, Inuyasha executed his “IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER,” rending demons apart as he returned to another wave of magical energy from Kagome's arrows. The atmosphere crackled as the demons screamed in agony. Naraku’s smirk faltered. “You think you can win with brute force? Here, face my miasma!” He clashed against Inuyasha's advance, but Inuyasha was fueled by rage and determination. “I'm done playing your games!” he bellowed. “MEIDO ZANGETSUHA!” The blade unleashed a torrent of energy, tearing through Naraku’s barriers with relentless fury. As darkness enveloped the area, Shippo, Miroku, and Sango stealthily maneuvered around Naraku, readying their support, but Inuyasha was a force of nature. With every swing of Tetsusaiga, he featured his heart, fueled by the hope of keeping Kagome safe—his steadfast motivation. “Your demon tricks won’t work on me!” Inuyasha growled, as he unleashed his “BARRIER BREAKING” technique, shattering Naraku’s defenses with a final strike. With one fierce swing, he finally landed a blow directly on Naraku, sending him crashing back through the trees. “Naraku, it’s over!” Kagome shouted, her voice piercing through the lingering fog. "Now, end it, Inuyasha!" Inuyasha, powered by both his strength and the support of his friends, roared one last time: “ADAMANT BARRAGE!” The spell erupted from his blade, striking Naraku down, banishing the evil like ash on the wind. With Naraku defeated for now, the air cleared, and Inuyasha stood tall, a wild grin plastered on his face as he turned to Kagome. “We did it!” he declared, still catching his breath. “I knew you could do it,” Kagome smiled, her eyes shining with pride. Their bond unbreakable, Inuyasha had proven yet again that his raw strength coupled with deep-seated loyalty prevailed against the darkness. The team rallied around him, and together they knew they would face whatever came next. Because in the wildest of fights, it’s the heart that truly wins the war.
