A shrieking sound in the sky alerted Kei to the final mutilation of the Kazekage. In that instance, he also noticed something else, as the murderer had turned invisible to the naked eye but instead was only seen as chakra through Kei’s Sharingan. He couln’t keep looking up though, as Keldran lead the charge, and they moved out like a pair of wolves breaking into the hunt.

Whereas Keldran was the storm, Kei was the calm, and observed carefully while moving to keep an eye on the fighting around them. Two enemies were quickly felled by Keldran and Kei leaped over one of the dead bodies before decapitating the man who was put off his footing by Keldran’s shoulder bump  The sword that then came at Keldran’s head, which was avoided by a dip of the Jounin, still came at Kei who ran behind the other. Kei, however, jumped up and brutally kicked his foot down onto the face of the man who missed his strike. The opponent was sent falling back to the ground with his face caved in from the blunt force of the ick which Kei used to propel himself higher into the sky.

At an altitude of 5 yards, he threw up two small scrolls and clapped his hands together in order to unseal their contents, causing more than a dozen Shuriken to fall down directly around him. What happened next was an impressive display of Shuriken jutsu as Kei’s arms reached back and forth while his body turned around its vertical axel and he continued throwing Shuriken while falling back down to the ground. And by the time his feet touched ground again, in a crouched stance, all 14 Shuriken had been thrown successfully. He only had a miniscule timeframe for each throw, before he had to throw the next. If it wasn’t for his sharingan’s perception it would be next to impossible to do what he did but each of his Shuriken had managed to find their target in the nape of the neck between armor plates   in order to successfully pierce skin.

Fourteen of the men that had moved to surround Keldran, who had just jumped off the wall and found himself stabbed in the right arm, fell dead to the ground in a macabre scene. Fountains of blood squirting from their neck as they had been taken down while their focus was shifted on Keldran and Kei made perfect use of the opportunity.

But just as Kei moved to dash from his crouched stance, he felt a sharp pain across his back and turned around to look into the eyes of an armored brute. But just that moment was enough for Kei to paralyze the man through Genjutsu Sharingan, followed by a quick stab through the enemy’s eyesocket; the chokuto coming out the back of the enemy’s lifeless head before it was withdrawn.

Avoiding two more approaching enemies, Kei dashed between them, getting stabbed in the side by a Kunai in the process, but managed to find himself over at Keldran’s side, the wall behind them. But before they could catch their breath a new group of enemies formed half a circle around the two Konoha Shinobi; three yards between them and the enemies.

Panting heavily, Kei spun his chokuto around and took the weapon in a reverse grip while a defiant grin formed onto his lips.

“I’ll cover the left side.”

And then, again, battle broke loose as the enemies rushed forth. Kei jumped back and up against the wall before dashing back off it and into the fight, slashing his cokuto through the neck of one man who just happened to be in his way while his hidden blade unsheathed itself moments before embedding itself in the back of someone’s skull and Kei used his weight and motion to drive the dead body into the ground before looking up in a haze of fury, pulling the hidden blade free and re-sheathing it before quickly standing upright again and taking up the Laido stance.. His face, clothes, sword and hair all drenched by blood as his eyes wildly darted around and he continued to swing his chokuto around in quick arcs to fend off series of blows from enemy blades, finding himself being pushed back into the wall little by little. This was where he lacked physical force, and there wasn't enough room to move around, which meant he had to rely on technique. But as good as he was, he didn't have the energy to keep up and continued to find his skin cut; avoiding critical damage for the time being.
