Holding back was for the weak, something that was pretty obvious at this point. Zhiro wasted no movements as even when he became injured he pushed forward. His arm was dangling practically useless, but he was able to instinctively move back before the hunters knife could reach his chest. He had dodged the bullet of death in one fell swoop. But regardless, Zhiro followed through and finished the individual who attempted to cut him open. The blade was parried and with swiftness, Zhiro landed the stab on his neck successfully. This would instantly cause the artery in his neck to burst like a fountain of blood. It would spill everywhere, even on Zhiro's body.

With Zhiro finishing the enemy, the rest revealed themselves as the monks were working hard to keep them at bay. After all Zhiro needed the backup as his efforts and recent damage finally started to catch up in fatigue. Though the silver/white haired boy would continue to let out a war cry screaming for his comrades to kill them all. With Zhiro on the offensive again, the archers took shots at him, but he easily deflected what he could with his sword by spinning it viciously in circles. With arrows being hacked out of the sky with ease, Zhiro had closed the distance between him and another archer. Though the archer didn't even get a chance to fight as one moment Zhiro was in plain view, the next he was gone as the only thing he felt was the initial feeling of being stabbed before going limp and falling to the ground. Zhiro had impaled the individuals brain with ease as only a pool of his own blood was left behind.

The Monks accompanying Zhiro were impressed with his warrior like spirit. Being able to keep fighting regardless of how wounded was very much like their way. This motivated the monks to give it their all, as they pushed deeper with Zhiro. Reaching deep enough, Zhiro would find himself in the nest of the enemy. Getting over a treeline and crossing over. The enemy territory was breached, but when Zhiro passed through everyone witnessed him. This resulted in everyone aiming their bows at Zhiro. It seemed like his run had finally come to a stop. Zhiro was practically gunned down by at least 20 archers. There was no way that him and his fellow comrade monks would live this fight alone, especially in their condition. The Monks assisting Zhiro sustained wounds, but they were not deep enough to make a real impact in performance. Zhiro needed to note that if he did beat these 20 archers, the rest of their army might fly in. Some being close quarters which wasn't a good idea. With all the arrows drawn and pointed at Zhiro and the 2 monks. One specific archer said;

"Begone."

In that moment everything went black as even Zhiro would feel death at his front door. But soon he would open his eyes and realize… he was alive! If he took a closer look, he would notice insects easily swarming the enemies as the majority of them were immobilized and siphoned of chakra. They were stuck and weak, unable to break the grasp of these critters. This was the work of Arata Aburame, their team leader as he was preparing for this moment. The Monk noticed this was a chance and took it, though it resulted in their biggest mistake as the moment they step closer a wire trap would go off. From it a sharp jagged thick tree branch would come down with pure precision and stabbed the long spear monk instantly. The other monk tucked and rolled to the left as he yelled;

"Hanegaya!"

Gritting his teeth he thought twice of making another dash as this meant part of this territory was a trap. With that, the man who said 'begone' would reveal himself to be the head archer of the unit. He quickly pulled his longbow out and started to take aim. He aimed at Zhiro particularly as he cocked back and shot the arrow with immense force. The arrow moved so quickly that simply because of wind trajectory it would miss. The arrow would curve and stab into a tree next to Zhiro's head as this was done during the moment of them noticing the area was booby trapped. How would Zhiro handle this new situation with only one monk as backup now?

As for Tarou everything was going according to his plan. The formation he chose was working elegantly and now he had to face Ozura. The moment Ozura mentioned he didn't like to kill children Tarou made it some kind of joke as he said that this would be fun in response. An eyebrow raised as he listened to Tarou. This boy must have been foolish to believe Ozura would simply listen to him. The instant Tarou got back up and asked, 'are you a gambling man' Ozura wouldn't even give him a chance to finish that sentence. Instead the moment he stood up he took it as if Tarou was ready. So assuming so, Ozura swung a vicious left hook that Tarou wouldn't see coming at all. His relaxed nature made it hard for him to tell if something like this would occur. If this hook was successful, it would land square solid on Tarou's right jawline. The force would easily lift Tarou off his feet and down a few flights of stairs (assuming they were by the steps). This would easily dislocate Tarou's jaw as he would feel the force behind the punch shake his body down to the core.

As Tarou was hoping instantly the archers took position and started to fire at Ozura. But he proved to everyone in seconds why he was second in command. His physical prowess going unmatched unless it was Jin. His body dipped down and contorted, quickly moving from area to area quickly avoiding every single arrow shot at him. Even the arrows in which was aimed to land after he dodged, he caught it midair and crushed the wooden arrow between his fingers. He then looked at Tarou and said;

"Are you still sure mister macho man? I'm pretty sure that hook hurt."

His eyes glared down ever so harshly as Tarou should of attacked from the start. This man had no intentions of talking or making any connections. He came to perform a job his boss gave him and so he was, this was Ozura's lifestyle. How would Tarou respond to such a sucker punch?
