Underground lair

Sealing team of 6 shinobi gathered around the big scroll to start their fuinjutsu. When sealing barrier was lifted they started moving towards the tailed beast slowly.

Attacking teams started using wire and chain connected weapons to secure the tailed beasts tails and legs, grounding it and rendering it immobile. Once tailed beast was on the ground Sealing team moved their barrier above it and started sealing process. With barrier in place they slowly started to lower it and bring it closer and closer to the beast.

All of a sudden explosion sounded outside the Amegakure encirclement followed by flying fuma shurikens from west and giant fireball from east. Seeing this, Amegakure captain finally jumped into action, only to be stopped by a teenage girl. "A brat like you is here to stop me!" sneered the man, pulling out a kunai in his right and throwing 3 shurikens with his left hand, following which he rushed into close combat battle with the teenager. At first he didn't take the teenager seriously, but the more he tried, more surprised he ended up when the teenager perfectly countered every single one of his attacks. The man finally took this battle seriously, stepping back few times he started weaving signs and then waving with his hands, sending out wind blades towards the teenager. Teenager expressionlessly moved left and right in between 3 wind blades, simultaneously weaving signs with her hands, ducking under the 4th wind blade and hitting the ground with her hands, following which a mud wall rose up blocking another 5 wind blades. Then the wall split up and fireball flew out from the slit. Seeing it the man quickly reacted and rushed out of flames' way.

Yashiro and Kuro successfully interrupted the sealing process upon which Yashiro quickly ordered "Kuro, take care of the sealing team, I'm going to take out the flies trying to hold 7-tails!". Acknowledging his order Kuro threw an explosive tag towards each of the 3 seal team members closest to him, following each tag with a kunai. One of the sealing team members fell under Kuros assault, the other 2 managed to dodge it, but one of them was slow to notice the black haired man already closed on him with kunai in his hand. Unable to react, another member of sealing team fell. 3rd man of sealing team was the furthest away form Kuro and had the most time to react. seeing 2 of his teammates dead he rushed towards Kuro to distract him until help arrives.

On the other side, Yashiro released Flame style Phoenix flower into the group of shinobi holding down the tailed beast. Under the cover of his jutsu he aproched the group and started taking them one by one.

Amegkure shinobi finally reacted to the assault and dropped the chains holding down 7-tails 5 of their comrades were dead already. 2 by Kuro's hands and 3 by Yashiro. Turning towards their captain to ask for support they were greeted by fireball that their captain dodged not long ago.

When the captain realized the direction of fireball's flight it was to late to stop it. He turned around towards the split up wall with anger in his eyes only to notice that he lost sight of his opponent. Starting to look for the teenager he was too late to notice a crack bellow his feet. Out of hte crack soon jumped a figure, slashing towards the captain with a short blade that Izumi had on her back before. The captain quickly did a back hand-spring but was still to late to completely dodge the slash that landed on his leg.

Yashiro was wiping out his enemy one by one while dodging their attacks. Kuro on the other hand was finally faced with danger once he was surrounded by 5 shinobi and soon he couldn't keep up with their attacks anymore. Noticing Kuro's predicament Yashiro rushed in his direction, arriving just in time to block a kunai swinging at Kuro's back. Kuro and Yashiro positioned back to back with each other, incapacitating the surrounding 5 shinobi before finishing off all the ones that were left.

The ones that survived Yashiro's and Kuro's attacks were taken out by once again free tailed beast.

When Izumi noticed that Yashiro and Kuro were done with their task she cornered the captain by lifting mud walls on his left and right, before sending him flying with a strong kick. The captain soon landed, only to end up smashed beneath 7-tails tail swing.

With Amegakure shinobi taken care of, 3 man team swiftly disappeared back into the forest to not enrage the tailed beast any further.

Once out of the clearing, 3 man team started heading towards where Mikoto went off to earlier.

After walking for a bit an owl soon headed towards them. "Message form Mikot it seems." noticed the teenager and lifted her arm for the owl to land, following which she took a tiny scroll from owls leg and handed it to Yashiro. Yashiro skimmed through the scrolls before turning to owl "Alright, lead the way."

Following Mikoto's owl they reached a cave that seemed to stretch well into the hill. A bit into the cave Mikoto was crouched next to an unconscious, with green glow emitted out of his hands.

Standing next to Mikoto, Yashiro looked at the pale unconscious girl with ash blond. She was scrawny and seemed to be small for her age. Clear indicator of hardships she had endure before she was sent flying by 7-tailed beast. "How is she?" Yashiro questioned the medical ninja tending to the child. "Few broken ribs on her right side, that should be easy to heal, however her right arm was completely ripped off out of its socket, nothing I can do about it. Considering the attack it's a miracle shes even alive.". "Well it's not too surprising. The moment before impact she surrounded herself with her chains. Looks like she wasn't able to cover herself completely and lost her arm. Seems her effort was still a little bit short. Izumi, Kuro, come wit me, we'll check the cave out. We might be staying here for a while."

Once his 3 companions headed deeper into the cave Mikoto finished his healing and sat down beside the girl. He took out his bottle, gently lifted the child's head and slowly poured some water in her mouth before taking a gulp of it himself.

Deep in the cave group of 3 found a circular hole in the ground. Around the hole were engraved snakes. The group looked at each other and jumped into the hole one by one. They landed in what seemed to be a long hall of an underground lair.
