Shinra had been moving along with his allies, heading to their final battlefield for this war. They were unaware of anything going on, or that if backup was coming, but Shinra clutched his palm over his scarred eye, feeling that the meidcine was beginning to wear off those his vision would not waver. As they got further along, Hotaru mentioned something about an enemy. With Obelisk and Myoo in the front, Shinra toward the back of the formation, he braced his hands to move for his fan and any other tools, taking out a kunai while unhooking the fan from his belt.

That's when they saw him, one of the dark red cloud cloak wearing members of the akatsuki. It always had to be them. Before they could react though, they were sent down further, the ground below them lowering in a neatly shaped cubic formation. An earth user, just Shinra's luck.

As they went down, Shinra had to quickly place a hand on Obelisk to impart into him the lightweight rock technique, and as Hotaru would come back down from her leap, he would do the same for her. They would both feel lighter, like they could easily move their bodies regardless of what was weighing them down. He hoped they would understand this was for the purpose of avoiding rocks that he couldn't block. "I've a better plan." He mentioned while forming the seal of confrontation and put effort into it, focusing on the top of the area where the rocks were being shot from. Out of the wall and then onto the ground above, catching and shoving the flying rock out of the way, Shinra had made two whole golems with his one technique, their bodies easily seven feet tall and with a great muscle mass to their structure. They would catch those rocks, cascade them to the side, and throw several back while they formed and looked to push Rippu back as they went further in.

Shinra acted fast, it was earth against earth, as he prepared to leap up and out of the hole with his comrades, using any stray rocks as a platform to kick off of on their way out of the hole with the light weight rock technique, Shinra had formed the tiger handseal and left a shadow clone int he pit that would rush for the wall, explosive tags at the ready while using the Hiding like a Mole technique, burrowing into the earth and up toward wherever Rippu was. He did all of this before the earth reached the halfway mark down to fifty feet. He would rise up with his comrades and get out onto the other side of the square pit of earth away from Rippu while his golems looked to fight and keep him in a general location as his clone would burrow up.

The clone was looking to reach up, use the double suicide decapitation method and yank Rippu into the ground below with a couple of explosive tags placed at the collar bone to concnetrate the explosion around his neck. Shinra was playing for keeps now, and refused to use his iron sand just yet against an enemy that worked so well with the earth release, not until he knew how to get around those defenses. "Work together, compliment elements, remember that earth is used for subterfuge and countering. Fundamentals." He would mention to his team as they got up and out of the pit. He was working on ranged fighting and providing backup with Obelisk and Myoo, remaining within fifteen feet of their location.
