As Kano stood watching his genin go Gamma-Gamma would begin to speak to him once more breaking their silence. He would first mention the Pandas and how they were not up to his expectatiions as the pandas of yesteryear were much bigger, this would trigger the normally crabby one but his brother would calm him as the great toad sage kept speaking. The toad would take a long drag from his pipe before mentioning that he had not heard back from the scouting corps that had been scouting for the first sighting of the snakes so they could ready themselves.

He would advise Kano to make his way to the shimmering tree where they had been staked out to get the best vantage point so he could see for himself as he began to describe it being a 20 foot tall oak with strange shimmering leaves that would only show in the sunlight once a year, but had the best vantage point of this land once one would reach the top. Kano would just nod his head andmake his way back out into the forest as his genin still sparred.

After about a half hour of tree jumping and running Kano would appear at the sight the toad sage had spoken of the leaves baren as the sun was not present, normally a hour and a half journey for anyone of normal speed and stamina, Kano would see bodies laying at its trunk around it as the moonlight beamed thtrough the forest roof "Not again..." Kano would say to himself as he sat perched upon a tree branch. Kano would ready himself as he found this scene all too familiar drawing a kunai from his satchel and readying it in a defensive stance and his jumped forward in a flash so fast it seemed as if he had body flickered to the base of the tree landing in front of the slain toads.

Another gruesome sight and another sad waste of good soldiers, but one still had an inch of life in him as his voice could be heard faintly croaking out. Kano would notice him twitching and walk over as it spoke the following words and nothing more "small... poison... sna-" he would say as his life fled his body and he went motionless. Kano would keep his eyes peeled as he felt the feeling of vibrations make the ground shiver, another sense that wasn't foreign to him. "They are close... I must warn the others, but I should make sure just to be exact." he would say aloud as he focused chahkra to the soles of his feet and began running up the tree at a blinding pace scaling hte 20 foot oak in 6 seconds as he reached the top. He would stand upon the top of the tree and see the forces of snakes some bigger than others, the biggest a few feet taller than teh panda titans... They were outnumbered to say the least. It was at this moment Kano would feel something hit the bottom of his pant leg and he would react accordingly, seeing as he was already on the look out as the dying toad made his statement, he knew what it was. Kano would stab his kunai at the point of contact he felt and rip it to the side as he winced in pain a bit stabbing himself slightly. He would raise his kunai to about waist level and see a tiny snake like one he had encountered on his journey to the pandas as his kunai stabbed the through top of its head down into the bottom of its jaw closing its mouth.

Kano would then grip the bottom half of the snake and rip down cutting the snake in half before looking up to see the horrific sight of the serpent seen only in the vision. It was as if time hadn't passed a minute as the snake looked exactly the same, but atop its head stood a man of gentle features dawning a black robe with clouds spread on it as well as two hilts signifying he was the leader of the shinobi that attacked him in teh forest. "I gotta go." Kano would say to himself as he placed a seal on the top of this tree and teleported back to the mountain.

Kano would appear again next to the toad sage in a slightly panic driven voice "They are here about an hour away to be exact... Get ready, grab your weapons, and meet me at the entrance in 15 minutes. SATOSHI.... RENA.... GUMPTA WITH ME!" He would say in a sense of urgency as he awaited his genin and toad to jump into formation, as well as the toad sage to give his blessing to begin the war of the forest.
