3 Karma is a bitch

- The enemy is coming, screamed one of the soldiers.

Everybody looked at to the enemy who outnumbered them more than tenfold. Iwa shinobis were approaching while their screams echoed all over the places.

- Commander, we are heavily outnumbered. It will be good to retreat now and put some trap on the way. It will reduce their momentum and give us some time. Otherwise, we will be crushed in an instant, suggested a chunin to the commander.

- Absolutely not! We will confront them here, ordered the commander Ren.

- But commander, the enem…

- Enough! I am the commander and you will do what I say. Understood soldier, yelled Ren.

- Understood, said the chounin.

- Listen all, said the commander. Put all exploding tags to every corner of the camp, said Ren before thinking, I will not disappoint you Danzo-sama.

As everything was being played out, Kazuma immediately run to corner of the camp pretending to placing exploding tags. But he was actually burying simple papers. After he saw the enemy, he did not have any intention of staying in this forsaken place even for a second and the commander`s order was like a coin which allowed to cross the underworld river. He felt like reborn and run to a corner which is near to the forest nearby. He understood that he could not outrun the enemy and that his stamina would be drained faster than that of an enemy.

- Listen up, you maggots, yelled the enemy commander. We will start by changing land shift to our advantage and attack from distance.

- But commander, they are just around hundred and most of them are only kids. Let us just fight them, and we will slaughter them all, protested a captain.

- Shut the hell up and do as ordered, yelled the commander with rage. If any one of you get as much as a scratch on your clothes I will personally kill him/her whoever it might be.

As Iwa shinobi came near to Konoha`s camp, a loud shout was heard. Earth style: Change of the landshift. After dozens of Iwa shinobis performed the jutsu in collaboration, land in front of the camp where enemy was nearing rose by three meters and cut any chances of direct confrontation. What was followed by was the attack from two thousands of Iwa shinobis in the form of big stones. The enemy blew out big stone from their mouths and attacked Konoha`s camp, like an artillery division bombarded cities in 20th centuries. Although stones did not explode unlike modern bombs, the outcome was not any different for poor, wretched Konoha "shinobis". Yells of the kids echoed all over the place and all the thing one could feel from them was pure agony. After 5 –minute- bombardment, Iwa shinobis stopped. As they walked near the "masterpiece" they had made, some of them dropped to their knees and puked out all the food they had eaten.

- Tch, truly gruesome sight to see. Bury them all at once, ordered the enemy commander.

- But, is it not better to let Konoha see what will happen if they go against Iwa by making them an example, said the captain.

- Iwa is not weak to the point that it can make only kids example. When we kill enemy commander and put his head on a stake for everyone to see that will be an example befitting Iwa, said the commander confidently as if he saw it.

- Earth style: bottomless swamp… and all body parts of Konoha shinobis sunk into the earth.

- Commander, looks like a few enemy shinobis were able to run. What will we do, asked a soldier.

- Chase them down and leave none of them alive, said the captain before the commander. The commander did not say anything and just closed his eyes. After taking his order, the soldier left.

- We can not be softhearted, said the captain.

The commander opened his eyes, turned around, and ordered – wrap things up, we will return to the base.

- Will we not chase the main forces of enemy, they are just 5 or 6 hours ahead of us and they have wounded soldiers with them.

- No. We received lots of money from Grass Diamyo. We can not openly ignore it by chasing enemy through half of Land of Grass. Besides, do you think Hokage is that stupid to send only inexperienced kids as reinforcements. If he had been stupid, we would not have lost 1- great shinobi war. What we have killed were voluntary sacrificial offerings given to us on a silver plate by Konoha to gain an edge in peace negotiations after the war ends.

- What! They gave up 100s of shinobis to just gain some advantage in the negotiations, asked a bewildered jonin.

- It is just how politics works. You do not have to understand it. And I am sure that all of them were talentless orphans. Alright, let`s go back to the camp.

All Iwa shinobis returned to the camp and started packing up everything to get back to Iwa. Iwa commander and captains were discussing how to get back and the commander was giving orders.

At the same time, one Hatake Sakumo was standing and watching the enemy camp.

- Is everything ready, he asked.

- Yes, captain, answered jounins nearby.

After hearing what his comrades said, he threw the cigarette in his month and said - Karma is a bitch!

- Booooooooooom!!!

And enemy camp exploded leaving none alive.
