As Kano walked a ways forward into the bamboo forest he would be greeted by rain before seeing a sight one would only think to be fit for nightmares, as he stepped into a puddle created by the rain itself he would look up and see dozens of his toad bretheren strung up like gruesome trophies with a triangle symbol carved into their bellies. Kano's face would scrunch in anger and distain for what he had just seen "Who would do this? WHY?!" the voice in his mind would rage about, but the sight was the least of his worries. Ever since he had teleported to this location from his first movement he could sense something following him, not being able to say exactly what it was or whether it was good or bad he felt something the entire way... awaiting for whomever or whatever it was to show itself.

At the first rustle of the bushes around Kano would quickly grab a marked kunai from his pouch ready for whatever it was to show itself. Though Kano was rather quick on his reaction and speed this attack took a tad bit by surprise, but none the less was managable. A snake would jump from the water he was standing on aiming to bite the back up his upper thigh and two more jumping up at his arms. Kano would quickly kick his right leg back sending the snake flying back that was aiming for his leg and quickly shift his body sideways going skinny between the two snakes and would shift the kunai in his hand at the same moment, gripping it in reseverse as the handle was now upside down and the knife end was exposed at the bottom of his grip. He would time it to where the two snakes would have been at about elbow level had he not shifted, and quickly spun in a quick circle kunai out slicing right below each of their heads in consecutive movements.

Though this attack was taking place Kano knew this was just a setup as the whole time, as when the snakes had sprung up he could still hear movement behind him. As the snakes dropped from mid-air now headless, Kano could hear a rough wind coming from behind where the sounds of movement had originated, the sound of bamboo tree's crumbling at its will. "Now." Kano would say to himself as he flipped the kunai to its original grip and threw it directly beside himself to a tree about 6 yards away, teleporting to it just before this wind technique would reach his previous standing point. Kano would watch as it sliced through his previous spot and about 6 feet beyond as the sound of crackling bamboo tree's would echo through the forest before it went back to the sound of soft rain trickling through the tree's and off of their leaves.

Emerging from the carnage of fallen tree's would be a man, no headband to signify his allegiance but what could be noticed were his mind numbing yellow eyes, much similar to the eyes he had seen in the vision the great elder toad had bestowed upon his eyes earlier. This mystery shinobi would be wearing all black garb as well as in each hand he held two curved swords. He would also have his hair tied back just enough to reveal his forehead and a purple dot the lay in the center of it. Kano would quickly grab his kunai that was stuck about 2 inches into the tree and ready it once more as the stranger spoke to him about being the champion of the toads and how "they" had been expecting him.

"Speak your piece, what business do you have here in the panda forest, and what happened to these toads? What is going on here?" Kano would say to the mystery man awaiting answers, but moreso ready to fight as it seemed that was going to happen regardless.
