After everyone safely got outside, the clone’s clone jumped upstairs only to be met by an unexpected bodyslam. But the moment just before physical contact was made, Kei’s body contorted and disfigured horribly before exploding at such a level that part of this floor’s roof and wall would be destroyed while the blast was powerful enough to send the assailant crashing through the flying debris on a path outside where he’d most likely be knocked out and suffering heavy damage to his whole body.

Meanwhile Kei’s shadowclone, who smiled as he leaned down to ruffle the hair of one of the twins, suddenly furrowed his brow as he stood in front of the twins while another enemy was heading his way. From the corner of his peripheral he also saw another assailants heading for the two women. However, Kei remembered what Yuzume said about who she was, and what she did, in the past. “Yuzume-san. Remember who you are! A Shinobi never dies as long as the people are in danger.”. Hoping to inspire her with his words, knowing she should be able to fend for herself, Kei then revealed his right hand as he raised it up; causing the sleeve to fall down to his elbow.

The opponent coming at him would only see an empty hand even as Kei turning it around and shook it a little; like a magician trying to convince his audience of an empty hand. But just like a ‘magician’ Kei was using sleight of hand in order to keep the tips of three kunai pressed in between his fingers. The way that he did so continuously kept them at an angle in which the opponent couldn’t perceive the projectile. That was until said opponent came within three yards, at which Kei flicked his hand forward causing the three shuriken to race out through the air as if they had been summoned from nowhere. One would aim to strike the opponent’s forefoot; notable his big toe so as to put him off balance. The other two would curve around the opponent’s legs to cut both hamstrings; which’d guarantee any man to fall down. After this he turned to see what had become of Yuzume.

Meanwhile in the forest, Kei gained valuable information at the ‘death’ of the exploding clone back in the inn. They were under attack, bigtime, and casualties had already risen too high due to unexpected assaults that left Kei to wonder why he hadn’t seen any chakra anywhere around or in the inn. Nevertheless he had little time to spend drawling on those thoughts as all of the men began showing such unusual behavior that pieces started coming together. “Those Amber stones… they must be some kind of drug that change these men. But how is Yuzume involved… that begs the question.”.

Taking a moment to think while one of the men bashed the other’s head in, Kei was surprised to see the little girl come back crying and calling one of the men daddy which only confirmed his beliefs. After telling her to “Step back.”. he formed a handseal and added. “I can’t save your father unless you go somewhere save.”.

Waiting for her to do so  he finally activated his technique just before the unfortunate soul was beaten to a pump. The jutsu he used?

….

Transformation technique.

Kei now looked exactly like Yuzume to the utmost detail. Then kneeling in front of the men he looked at each of them in turn while whispering “Take me home.” In a  voice that could easily be mistaken for Yuzume’s, especially since the low volume made it hard to distinguish a certain pitch. Waiting for the reply of the three men, notably the one who ate the amber stone, Kei, disguised as Yuzume, would walk with them. Finding a sneaky moment to motion to the little girl to be quiet and follow out of sight.
