"While I know Yagura has become an idiot, I hadn't thought that you were one too, Jinpachi." said Ao, a middle-aged man with blue hair, with an eyepatch on his right eye.
Ao had erected a shield made out of water in front of him, stopping a sword mid-attack.
"Being stupid is better than being a traitor" said Jinpachi, holding his sword. The scroll on the sword opened up and layered another layer of explosive tags on the sword.
*Boom*
The sword exploded, causing the water shield to shatter. Jinpachi jumped back from the recoil. Ao cursed as he too jumped back from the attack and performed another justu.
Water style: water bullet
Ao spat out three splashes of water on Jinpachi, but Jinpachi easily avoided two attacks and used his sword to deflect the third.
Just as Jinapchi jumped at Ao to attack once again, Suddenly ice shards came flying at him at high speed.
*Tang*
Jinpachi struck his sword on the ground, causing it to explode. The shattered flooring of the inn went up and intercepted the ice shards.
'The information was correct, A Yuki clan member was hiding here.' Thought Jinpachi with a slightly crazed smile as the area was now covered in dust.
The perfect stage to execute his Silent Killing Technique, renowned among the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist.
Wordlessly, he approached the Yuki clan member and attacked him. The Yuki clan member quickly used an Ice shield to block Jinpachi's attack, but the Yuki member was just a chunin-level shinobi.
His ice shield cracked under Jinpachi's massive strength like glass and reached him.
*boom*
The Yuki member went flying back due to the explosion, but before Jinpachi could continue any further, AO made Water bullets rain on him again, causing Jinpachi to grit his teeth.
'That DAMN BYAKUGAN' Thought Jinpachi, irritated at AO for stealing his kill.
Jinpachi was one of the few people alive who knew Ao's secret. He and Ao were friends before Ao decided to join the Resistance.
'Your Byakugan eye means nothing if you cannot avoid the attack' thought Jinpachi as his sword, the Shibuki, unscrolled.
"SHIELD THIS!" Shouted Jinpachi as he unravelled a large amount of explosive seals from his sword and twisted it in a circular motion.
Blastsword Technique: Blasting Bridle Repeating Death.
Jinpachi smiled again as his battle lust took over.

Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique
*Sizz*
But before his explosive seals could even activate, an orange liquid splashed all over his seals, melting them.
'Lava release!?'
Jinpachi's eyes widened in shock as he looked at the figure who was obscured in a white cloak.
She removed the hood of her cloak, and his hunch was proven correct. Mei Terumi the leader of the resistance was now on the battlefield.

*stab*
Ren dodged attack after attack narrowly, his senses cranked up to the maximum to keep him alive.
But Suigetsu grew irritated as more and more time went by. He had already killed another Konoha shinobi, but Ren proved to be elusive as he avoided both his sword and its threads.
*Clang* and then there was this too.
Instead of coming near Suigetsu's blade, Ren had opted for a ranged attack plan as he ran around the room, jumping over pieces of debris.
'I can't even properly set traps here.' Suigetsu thought as he glared at Ren.
Nuibari threads could be used to set traps, but that would only work if the ground was clear from obstructions.
Of course, this rule didn't apply to those who were experienced in handling the Nuibari, but Suigetsu didn't have that much experience with it.
His preferred type of weapons were the ones which could slash not those which could stab.
Suigeuts could have just put away the nibari and taken out his regular sword from the storage scroll.
But it was insulting for Suigetsu to do that. He wanted to be a swordsman who surpassed his brother and someone who could wield all the Seven Swords of the Mist.
*clang*
Suigetsu gritted his teeth harder as he again deflected chunks of wood and dirt thrown by Ren.
Yes, that's right 'dirt'. Ren seemed to stop throwing kunai and was now throwing whatever he got his hands on while jumping around like someone set his ass on fire.
Honestly, Ren could only run this fast because of filling his body with a high amount of chakra.
'Eris, How many minutes are left?' questioned Ren in his mind.
[Just 13 minutes till the Chakra reserves are completely drained.]
Suigetsu could have gone for Ren's last alive teammate, who was hiding like a coward behind debris, but Suigetsu was now blinded by anger and charged towards Ren like a bull seeing red.
"STOP RUNNING!" Suigetsu shouted at Ren, who didn't seem to care for his words and threw another object at Suigetsu.
*Poof*
As soon as Suigetsu's sword touched it, it broke off into dust, causing Suigetsu to close his eyes by reflex.
But his perseverance came to show as he opened his eyes quickly and saw Ren running away.
Suigetsu swallowed his pride and shot a high-speed water bullet at Ren, not willing to let him escape.
But that Ren was an illusion anyway as a kunai soon found its mark on Suigetsu's collarbone from behind.
*sploc*
The kunai was embedded in Suigetsu's body and the spot where the kunai had penetrated spilt some water.
Suigetsu turned to look at Ren without taking out the kunai and laughed.
"HAHA. Did I forget to say that Kunais don't work on me anyway?" Suigetsu drawled out in a smug voice and pointed his finger at Ren, ready to blast him with another water bullet.
" That wasn't just a kunai. Idiot"
*Boom*
The kunai blew up, and Suigetsu's watery body split into two as his sword arm flew off from his body.
'I should make more of those kunai' thought Ren as he picked up Suigetsu's arm and tried to free the Nuibari from it.
*swish*
"What the!" Ren said, weirded out as the severed hand moved and even tried to attack him.
"YOU DAM-" Shouted a loud voice as some liquid came out of the ruble and slowly took the form of Suigetsu.
But Ren wasn't the type to wait for his enemies to power up anyway, so he threw two more explosive kunai at Suigetsu's still-forming body.
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
Suigetsu's arm in his hand went limp, so Ren quickly freed the Nuibari and its thread from it and threw the arm away.
"Itsuki-san you can come out, it's done now" On hearing this Ren's teammate slowly came out of his hiding spot.
"I.... wasn't hiding, I was just.... waiting for the perfect time to ambush him." Said the man as he dusted his clothes.
"Is that so?" Ren just gave a wry look at the man who was twice his age.
'Ambush my ass, you were just cowering behind that debris' thought Ren internally, but he didn't say it out loud.
It's not just Itsuki. Most people in the shinobi corps were like this as they had gotten used to peace and only ever faced some small thieves or bandits at most, causing them to grow weak and cowardly.
But Ren wasn't looking at Itsuki, his attention was on the other side of the room.
"Oh, It seems you took care of Suigetsu." Came a smooth but confident voice as three figures came out.
Mei Terumi had discarded the white clock, revealing her slender and fair figure. She wore a long-sleeved dark blue dress which reached to her knees.
Ren took out his Kunai in a defensive position, though he knew that it was of no use if she attacked him. It was three versus two if he added the 'shadow' up in the tree watching them discreetly.
The shadow had arrived when Ren blew up Suigetsu. Yeah, he didn't even consider Itsuki standing next to him.
