'''What was that, footsteps behind him? Had the enemy already infiltrated into the temple? How could they have? Zhiro turned around with a shocked expression and eyes ready to kill due to his body being in a fight or flight situation. His heart was racing as  he was about to strike but his arm stopped as his gaze found two of the monks who had followed him. Why would they have? Did they understand his intentions? It seemed so by the looks of it. Zhiro bowed his head in gratitude to the two monks and took note of their weapons. One made for power and one for range. With Zhiro’s own unique blade to boot they might just stand a chance.'''

'''With that the trio set off, moving slowly and carefully while going from cover to cover. At one point they were stuck due to several enemy troops blocking the path. However, with how deep they were in enemy territory there was no going back anymore. Zhiro was about to give the signal to fight before suddenly being surprised by the buzzing sound of insects. Out of nowhere they came and almost as soon they then vanished in the forest, taking the bodies of unsuspecting enemies with them: nowhere to be seen. Zhiro had heard of the Aburame, but no rumour came close seeing Arata’s skill firsthand like this. Such lethality, especially in these forest surroundings. This must’ve been why Arata was chosen to lead this mission. '''

'''Zhiro glanced over his shoulders and nodded to the monks before proceeding in stealth. After a short while they finally roamed deep enough to find what Zhiro had been looking for. The trio hid behind a small tree and some bushes while laying eyes on about 5 of the enemy archers. If he could take out the archers and assault the rear-line of the enemy while they were occupied with the main forces and Tarou, they stood a good chance. But, being inexperienced at was, Zhiro had no back up plan. And he was too confident in himself and his monk allies to even think things through twice. He went with his gut feeling. It was go time.'''

'''Rather than fanning out to scout the area or making other decisions which a wise tactician might, Zhiro ran without thinking about continuing to stay stealthy. He then leaped up to a high branch before making the final jump down through the air towards the group of archers. His sword was already in motion. The hilt spun through his fingers which caused both blades to rotate rapidly, warding off any arrows which may have been shot at him during his descent. '''

'''The ground was approaching fast. Zhiro disconnected his weapon at the center of the hilt through a simple twist and click mechanic, now holding a katana in each hand as he bore down upon the archers in a flurry of steel. Upon ‘landing’ he aimed to stab both swords into the shoulders of Archer in the center of the group. With his feet not having touched the ground, Zhiro held onto his weapons as he swung to the left of his first victim, with the weapons still inside the man, before aiming to use this enemy as a springboard. Jumping off, Zhiro dislodged his swords from flesh and to kicked the poor man into two of his comrades: most likely soon to be finished off by the monks. '''

'''Meanwhile Zhiro, who jumped the opposite direction of where he kicked the man, turned around in midair to face the two opponents on the other side. The genin’s feet finally found ground as he began to sprint straight forwards before bringing both swords up to his left and  then swinging them in unison, from left to right, aiming to carve through the first man’s torso before side-stepping around him and repeating the double slash, but this time from right to left, in order to lethally slash through the second target. '''

'''If all went as planned, Zhiro had swiftly killed three archers while the first of his casualties had been kicked into the last two archers who remained: who were, by now, surely reached by the two monks. This hopefully left a blood-covered Zhiro with a few seconds to let his eyes scan the area and catch his breath. '''
