{Tanima Bridge}

The battle continue raging across the landscape as both masked and unknown shinobis confront each other, the only difference is that masked shibobi had completely disregard their lives with only one objective, destroy the cargo and all enemies which has prove successful as the number of unknown shinobis keep dwelling in number.

"They're on his last moments end them"

As the final attack was launch a couple of masked shinobis were suddenly throw in the air with their necks broken. This result in both sides stopping their actions, trying to find this new opponent. Whether friend or foe still to be determined.

"Don't stand still form groups, wait for his actions then counterattack"

Forming groups of four or five the masked shinobis completely disregarding their previous opponents to focus in this new one. The unknown shinobis also chose this approach but in a more disperse manner due to their now reduce numbers. 

"What's this, threads?"

"Don't touch them!" "Eh"

After seeing the threads both groups tried to avoid them but they were everywhere, till one of the masked shinobis rubbed one, this result in a chained effect with the rest of threads trapping in them a few people.

"Quickly cut these threads"

As they tried to cut the threads one of them suddenly stab one of his companions, then another, in the other corner the same happen.

"Stop, what are you doing" "We can't control our bodies" "It's the shadow, someone is using the shadow imitation technique" "But there're no Nara's here" "A rogue perhaps?" "It does not matter, if you cannot control your bodies commit suicide, the rest abandon them, continue the attack"

Once again discarding their life and comrades the masked shinobis resumed once more their attack and if in the process someone was caught in threads, they were abandon.

"I am afraid that I can't let you do that" An eerie but calm voice sound in the shadows. "sōshi yōzanjin{Mystic Thread Slash}" All the previously static threads began to move in all directions with a deathly precision, if the previous threads were sticky, then this threads are as hard as steel.

"Evade"

It was of little use the warning as most of the people that rush forward were instantly cut in half or worse.

One after another, corpse began to fell to the ground, finally only five masked shinobis remain in the scene thanks to having stand still instead of rushing to attack.

"Surrender now and no more death will befall any of you, I give you my word"

"How can we trust someone that hide in the shadow like a coward" "Very well"

Appearing from the shadow of a corpse a tall men with a calm and collected face, blue hair and a horn in his forehead stepped toward them with slow steps. "Will you now surrender?"

Hearing this four of the five shinobis dropped their weapons to the ground, "Will you not surrender?" "What are you doing Mouse, surrender yourself, it's an order!" "A shinobi must complete the mission or die trying. Reverse Four Symbols Sealing!" What!"

Upon being release a large black sphere form from the blood of Mouse, swallowing everything around them, leaving only devastation in it's way.

"What a loyalty to their master, even death won't change that""That was no loyalty, that was a tool completing it's mission, look all the bodies have been seal and there are no prisoners to question"

"Both of you are right, he was but a tool" Hearing this new voice the unknown shinobi reach for their swords and sable. "Don't make unnecessary moves, after all, were all from the same side"

A voice different from the blue hair youth reach the ears of all that were present, it came from a tall, muscular man with mid-length straight black hair that reaches to his ears, but what highlights him is a scar on the corner of his right lip.

"This is a scroll from your leader, take it and read it" said the blue hair one. Taking the scroll the unknown shibobi read it extremely fast and after finishing, he began to give orders. "The scroll is authentic, prepare to take our comrades corps, leave the guards and kumo ninjas to them as well as the attackers bodies, it is no longer our concern. We must arrive to our destination in less than a month, so move!" Without wasting a second all the remaining guards put themselves to work even after having suffer a cruel battle moments before.

-------------------------------

"That last technique was quite destructive, don't you think so?" "It was indeed a bit dangerous but we were inform to be careful in this mission, so I did just that. They're finally here"

A few seconds later three figures emerge in front of them, two women and young men. The first to speak was the young men in a charismatic manner. "So where is the enemy, I'm still a bit rusty but I'm sure that I can take them"

"*Puff* As if I'll let you some for you kiddo" The man said. "*Ehh* What did you call me old man! I think the age is finally getting to you if you think you can take on a fight" "Do you want to test that brat" "Oh you're on"

As both began to bicker in the background the rest of the group discuss they're nest course of action.

"How did the mission go in your side?" asked the blue hair youth. "Nothing out of ordinary, also here are the corps" said the purple hair girl handing a scroll to him. "*Hum* We should clean this place and then return, and remember we never took action, it was Tanigakure who handle it"

"Hey both of you stop fighting it's time to come back"

"Just know that this is not over old man" "Whatever kiddo, but I won the bet, so your next month salary is mine" "*Huff* As if I luck money"

With nothing more to say everybody put themselves to work, to return to base sooner.

"When we return you can relax I'll deliver the report" Said the blue hair youth in a leader tone.
