It seemed as if the situation had calmed down as they wiped through the first 500 of The Rise with ease. Ieyasu was up with the others up until the point they began to disarm the traps ahead due to the dōjutsu specialists they had.

"Obelisk, while we're moving up I'm moving to the back for a bit. Need to keep the rear covered."

It was from there that Ieyasu began to slowly make his way towards the back, inspecting the men of the division as they continued further and further ahead. Over the comms, Keldran spoke over the comms telling the battalion to sit tight. Ieyasu didn't say anything meaningful since he wasn't really the leader of the battalion aside from a simple "Understood". If nothing was done to anticipate the incoming Rise shinobi, then it would only turn out as they wanted. At which point, the entire battalion would be swarmed right before Konoha's gates.

If this were to happen, then the following would consequently come about. While Ieyasu was not at the immediate area of the back, he would be close enough to see the sight of 3000 men charging straight into their rear as men flew into the air and were torn to shreds. The Rise continued its charge even as it hit the flank, some moving as far as ahead towards the rest of the battalion's commanders. Of course given how close Ieyasu was to all of this, he was quickly confronted by some of the more spry among The Rise as they encircled him.

20 of them in total, 20 men Ieyasu had to kill immediately before even more came around to swarm him. As soon as they surrounded Ieyasu, he kicked into action. His body sprung up in size while he tucked his arms and legs in after spinning himself kicking up dirt and more from the ground. At the same time, Ieyasu's hair grew out at such a rapid rate with his body that he was covered in it, this hair was filled with chakra and straightened out into blades that pierced the cloud of dirt that had been kicked up.

Given Ieyasu's precise chakra control and familiarity with the Akimichi techniques, it is within the realm of possibility when these blades in particular struck out in such a destructive array of fashion the bola wielding Rise would've had nowhere to duck under and instead accept their fate as they were shred to pieces. Given how packed all of the 3000 Rise were against the 1st Battalion, the 20 that approached Ieyasu wouldn't have anywhere to back up or move away from. They only sealed their own death trying to fight in a close space with this giant and shredded up by his blade-like hair.

As soon as their guts and flesh were flying in the air, Ieyasu would cancel the technique and start backing up while screaming into his communicator for the rest of the 1st Battalion to hear.

"EVERY LAST MAN, FALL BACK! FALL BACK NOW INTO THE VILLAGE! RIGHT NOW!"

There were 3000 of the Rise, an insurmountable number that would easily crush and tear through the 1st Battalion especially as close as they were now. There's nothing they could do without hurting themselves, and Ieyasu considered himself too close to the others to be caught in any sacrificing moves that would destroy more men. While he commanded the order to retreat, Ieyasu was still walking back into the 1st Battalion and towards the village's gates. If anything came at him during this time which he could handle with relative ease he'd either bat it away or use Earth Spear to cover from whatever came at him. If it couldn't be handled through either of these ways, Ieyasu would handle it differently to adapt to the circumstance as he pushed through the battalion. One thing they needed above all was space between The Rise, and they had just the thing for that.

It was a basic, but very effective jutsu that any ninja should have. The Body Flicker, if all est. 180 men or so used it at once and moved straight towards the gate's and used the dead bodies of the 900 Rise they ravaged as stepping stones then the battalion would find its momentary respite so they could prepare more large-scale cooperation jutsu to help lessen the numbers of The Rise. Given how fast the battalion would be moving, if this plan was executed it'd be unlikely for there to be any proper retaliation from the Rise given the sudden disappearance of most. It was such a basic move, but it would be enough to make it seem as if these men simply disappeared until realizing where they actually were. If Obelisk didn't make the same order, Ieyasu would as soon as he started moving.

Even if Obelisk didn't have it or some others towards the front it wouldn't matter at all since they were already so close to the gates and fast enough they could run on their own accord.

"BODY FLICKER! NOW!"

Ieyasu along with the rest of the battalion would seemingly disappear from sight as they rushed through the gate. Given the dexterity and flexibility of all shinobi in their ranks, all excess ninja would use the sides of walls and leap over some if and when the gate became clustered. The lake the 1st created was filled to the brim with dead bodies and more, these could be used as stepping stones in the event that any high-caliber lightning jutsu were used that could span the volume of the 1st's creation. Ieyasu personally kept a zig-zag way about the run towards the end of it from what land there was at the edges, the bodies, and any nearby buildings. It would be hard to pinpoint him in this exact instance as he manuevered around the area.

Once reaching the other side or anywhere safe, Ieyasu and the rest of the battalion could recollect themselves and recomposition taken back into Obelisk's hands.

Of course, at any moment up to this point Obelisk could've easily overruled Ieyasu if a different and even better strategy was to be utilized instead. If not, it'd just keep going from there as Ieyasu went back on comms and called out to all battalions.

"We've got a whole army of Rise that just attacked our flank, we need a dragon over here! 2nd Battalion if we can wedge them in between our armies and coordinate some massive jutsu then we can crush these degenerates!"

Ieyasu said while keeping an eye on where they came from. If a substantial number of Rise followed after the 1st Battalion past the gates, they already had the space to coordinate a plan. Any who tried to travel across or nearby the small lake the 1st had made, then water release users could handle them and tear them all to shreds. If they got too close, then that's where the fire release users could come in handy and even Ieyasu join them before incinerating any approaching Rise before they could even reach the battalion with just basic and rudimentary techniques.

At this point Ieyasu would reposition himself over to Obelisk before the situation unfolded any further, "Alright... where's Alwin?"

(Given the very circumstantial parts of this post, will make a follow-up in the event Obelisk makes changes to the plans already made.)
