Tarou was down for the moment as he watched his comrades get killed one by one. This was gruesome, but not only did that happen, he also gained a beating from Ozura. His body in pain until that moment came. While Ozura wasn’t paying paying attention to Tarou, he had gotten back up and started to mutter something. Ozura was confused as he was never anticipating him to return from that beating. The killing intent radiating from Tarou was enough to have Ozura step back a second to reconsider what had just happened. Soon the boy erupted into spikes that seemed to be of wood. It expanded as soon he said something before vanishing. Ozura was actually on the defensive for this one as he kept his guard up. But it was a technique only Shinobi’s knew as Tarou got one up on him. Quickly using this to his advantage, Tarou then struck his back with one hand. That's when luke warm crimson liquid was coming down his abdomen. Was this his own blood? Ozura couldn’t understand what had happened as soon he noticed a branch it seemed inside of him.

Ozura was confused as he tried to turn around, but it was too late. Soon he fell to the ground with a loud thud. He asked;

“My legs? I can’t feel my legs?!”

Shortly after all that could be heard was;

“AH-”

Soon his body would be skewered, as blood spilled in every direction. Tarou was the victor of this battle as he had successfully killed the second in command of the Kusahku clan alone. The enemy army though didn’t slow down. In fact they continued to push forward as from the treeline. Jin had finally revealed himself. Walking forward he noticed Ozura had died as he clenched his teeth and whispered to himself;

“Useless, couldn’t even kill a child.”

He spat at the ground as he called out to the rest of his army;

I WILL JOIN THE LINE WITH YOU DON'T STOP UNTIL YOU ARE DEAD! THE REWARD WILL BE IMMENSE!”

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">The army would roar to this motivation;

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">“HOOOOORAH!!!!!!!!”

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">As they pushed forward towards the group once more, but this time one last time, Arata would save them as the bugs from before came forward and swarmed the individuals moving forward. Jin leaped back the moment he noticed the bugs as he took his distance and muttered;

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">“An Aburame is hiding around here huh?”

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Shortly from all of this, Arata finally revealed himself as he appeared behind Tarou. He spoke forth and said;

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">“OhhhhhSokeKujo (talk) You did well Tarou boy, you are pretty beaten, but you did very well.”

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">If Zhiro had joined them, Arata would add;

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">“You as well Zhiro, you both were great additions! Now this is the final stretch~ I will create an opening for you two. I’m going to distract him then restrain him, shortly after you both will come at an unexpected moment and land the final blow.”

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">This meant that both of them needed to hide and stay out of sight to capture Jin off guard. Once the plan was understood, and they got into position, Arata would walk forward alone as he stood across an empty field in which Jin and him would face off. Jin would be the first to speak and make introductions as he said ;

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">“The name is Jin, I’m the leader of the Kushaku clan. Now tell me your name so I know who I killed today.”

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Arata laughed as he replied;

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">“A Scum like you? I would never give my name to you.”

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">The only thing that settled was an intense moment as they both waited for one side to make the first move. The question is who would make the first move?
