Takahiro's fire had been met by water jutsu  cast by 15 very experienced nin. If it wasn't for the wind release users adding to the already powerful fire it would have definitely gone out by now. Instead, the mixture of super hot flames and water resulted in a large cloud of steam falling over the area. The wind release also helped by dispersing the mist that had been approaching meaning that no longer were Takahiro and the Sensory nin unable to see what lay within. Just quietly though, Takahiro wished he could have lived in ignorance as he and his sensory nins now picked up on the 800 strong force approaching them, and judging by the use of the mist, he assumed they were from Kirigakure. There were outnumbered and the battalion had already split up by the time the fire started to subside.

He spoke into  the mic "DIVISION LEADERS, WE ARE SEVERELY OUTNUMBERED, THIS IS NOT A FIGHT WE CAN WIN. PREPARE YOUR DIVISIONS FOR A TACTICAL RELOCATION ALSO REFERRED TO AS RUNNING AWAY" A sense of humour in the dire time would hopefully inspire enough confidence and moral in his men that they would follow his commands "RETREAT AS IS VIABLE FROM YOUR POSITIONS, DO NOT ENGAGE! I'LL SEND EAGLES TO CIRCLE OUR LOCATION, REGROUP THERE" He would cease communications over the mic for now as he began the process of their 'tactical relocation'.

“DIVISION 1, CLONES!” Of the 31 men remaining in Division 1, 20 had access to clones that were more than just illusions, be they shadow clones or else. Each soldier capable of physical clones would create at least 3 clones resulting in a force between 60 – 70 bodies strong. These clones would then rush to meet the 200 kiri nin that were approaching Takahiro’s division as the other 600 had split into groups of 300 to deal with the divisions that had gone left or right. The clones, just like their originals, possessed black steel armour and weapons and, as members of the elite squad possessed a higher fighting skill then most. The clones however were not there to win, and instead were there to delay and hold back the force.

Takahiro would now lead division 1 back towards the forest where they came and after making a distance between division one and the clones he would call his next order. “EARTH USERS. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL!” At that command the earth users in his division would use the earth wall technique to raise a large wall blocking off Division one from the clones and the kiri nin. The wall was large enough to block and delay anyone trying to pass through it or go around it. At Takahiro’s command, Division one picked up the pace and when they neared the forest line Takahiro let out another order. “WATER USERS, HINDER ANY FOLLOWERS”

The water users in his division dropped towards the back of the division before casting the Starch Syrup Capturing Field Technique over the ground behind them meaning the way between the way and the forest was now quite difficult to traverse. Upon reaching the forest, Takahiro was reunited with Khan who had been waited in the foliage. “LET’S GO KHAN” The tiger followed suit as Takahiro and Division One took to the tree tops to travel, resulting in faster speed and les physical trail behind them. “UNITS, TAG THE TREES” And they did just that, laying explosive tags on almost every tree until they ran out. “On the sensor nin’s word, trigger them all”. Should any hostile signatures reach that point in the trees, the sensor nin, who were still sensing would alert the division and they would trigger the explosions, hopefully killing any kiri nin perusing them.

He spoke back into the radio now “Myoo? Tak? Statuses ASAP.” At this point should anyone not respond on any end, Takahiro would send a sensory nin and two others non sensory nin to investigate and hopefully retrieve. War was dark and sometimes sacrifices were made, Takahiro however, wished he didn’t have to make any. He and Division One would continue to fall back until the Sensor nins would confirm that they were no longer being followed. They would trave a bit further before finally coming to a stop in a small field somewhere between Kogakure and Konoha. Battalion 3 had eventually back tracked towards Kogakure, somewhere they could feel safe as they recovered and replanned.

While Divison One rested and healed any wounded, Takahiro would summon an eagle which would begin to circle the area where Division One was resting. It acted as a beacon for the rested of Battalion 3 and also as a scout who could warn Takahiro of any approaching danger. The retreat had been a dent to his ego, but Takahiro would much rather preserved the lives of as many as he could instead of dying for a glory he would never see. He sat beside Khan and put his head between his knees “I’m not as tactically sound as Shinra or Ranta. I’m in over my head” Khan would let out an unimpressed growl “Hmm … you’re right” He looked back up “We’ll be fine”
