After some hours passed, they were finally on the very highway that these marauders had been reported to be attacking from. However, Tuck nor the coach informed the group of this; leaving Michi and Masami both in the dark. It'd just seem like any other road they were on, trailblazed and lined up side to side with trees. There were many shadows and places that couldn't be seen with an unaided eye looking around, perfect opportunities were everywhere for these bandits to set up an ambush. Of course, for those inside they couldn't even know and fear this fact as they travelled further down.

For the entire trip, Tuck had always been getting up and down as he heard things outside of the caravan like birds, squirrels, and other sorts of woodland critters. It has been somewhere around 20 minutes since the last time he did this, and by now the two would probably be worn out and not paying attention for anything he might say.

Suddenly, he struck up once again his right ear twitched until he just sat right back down as he usually did.

"Oh just a bandit..."

As soon as Tuck said this, a tanned and lithe young man leapt up from the left side of the caravan where he could be seen, eyes trained on the coach with a dagger in hand ready to kill him. It was happening so fast, that any one person could tell there wasn't time for hand seals at all. If this action went uninterrupted then the coach would be swiftly killed with a clean cut to the neck spraying blood into the caravan as the attacker at hand turned to face the others, yet as the group would already know this wasn't even their worst troubles.

At the same time that this attack began, two other men wearing only what they needed to not be indecent were by the other's side the first in front leaping over with a broad, cleaver-like sword in hand tearing the roof of the caravan into ribbons and destroying the beams supporting the cloth screen. Unless something specific was used, this would've gone ahead unhindered since it couldn't be seen naturally from the inside.

With this, the roof of the caravan would be falling down on top of the whole group. On the left side sat Michirama, as soon as the cloth fell on top of him if he didn't react violently the remaining bandit on his side would simply grab him by his chest and arms with a tight hug enough to squeeze the breath out of the young boy. Given the position of the sun, the shadow of the bandit wouldn't be cast on Michi's side and as such he couldn't see the approach beforehand as he reacted to the situation. On the other side where Masami was the man with the cleaver sword was holding said weapon high above his head.

If she didn't react immediately, the giant sword would just come right down on her head just as it was outlined by the falling canvas. The weight of the sword and force behind it would be enough to split her into two, creating a disgusting scene of gore and blood.

Meanwhile, Tuck was still sleeping.

These bandits as crude as their tools and methods were, it was obvious they had experience in this. However, they probably weren't expecting the shinobi of the leaf.
