While the two rascals continued to explore the temple. They would be greeted by empty halls and barely lit torches to illuminate the path. It was fine though, after all, during this time the group of genin was simply digging for information. Though there was something odd about this temple, almost as if it was haunted. From time to time, whispers could be heard distant in the halls. Though some of the whispers were masked by simple structural sounds.

The genin would soon be allowed to set up some fortifications, but alone it was too much too finish. In terms of percentage they would be able to complete 20% of the set up, giving the temple a jump start on the task itself. That being said, the genin had 2 choices work so hard that they passed out till morning. If not they would rest in the rooms given to them by the head monk. They weren't luxurious at all, but it was expected since this was an area filled with wildlife. Regardless, soon after this the sun would rise, it resulted in roosters and chickens to chirp loudly to resemble morning had dawned.

The genin would get a rude awakening, as the birds would slap them out of slumber. Shortly after, they would notice every monk in synchronization working on the fortifications. It was like a military unit of some sort. So this was how unified this group of albino monks were like? Arata was minding his own business as shortly after a few hours. The battle horns raged through the wind. In the horizon an army of bandits making their way through the forest in gorilla warfare style. Hiding in plain sight and taking sniper positions. The horns was to warn people that they were making their way in. By the time positions were taken, the other army of bandits would be in place. From that the leader of the bandits would rise from the forest, still hidden, but possessed a megaphone. From it came the words;

"Temple of Kintaro, i suggest you all submit. We have you surrounded around the temple. There is nowhere to hide. Either let us in, to claim what we have been searching for, or several of your men will die today. The choice is yours, the elder Monk heard this request and responded;

"I refuse."

With that, his closest men sent the signal to everyone else for battle. The genin were then given the choice. Pick up a crossbow, longbow, or fire lances to chuck at the enemy entering. The traps they initially set would go off killing a dozen bandits as it was a pitfall trap to prevent the first wave from getting through. The leader of the group, known as 'Jin' would remain in place as he let out a war cry for all his men to let loose and fight. Soon arrows flew in from different directions, this instantly killed about a dozen archers already on point protecting the temple. Jin then said;

"Then war it is."

That being said the battle started and slowly intensified as time progressed. How would the genin respond and fight back? More importantly what would Jins next move be? He showed intelligence in strategic combat. So what would his next move be?
