Little gave away the roof that came crashing down, but the moment the first crack would make a sound Kei’s clone was already on top of the situation as it was waiting for something out of the ordinary to happen. Immediately looking up, Kei saw that the entire roof was about to crash down and he quickly began weaving handseals while calling for everyone to “Gather around me!”.

Then, just as the roof actually began its descent down to squash everyone present, Kei, after inhaling, blew out a large ball of fire that stretched enough yards to keep everyone around him from being squashed. The fire was potent enough to reduce the falling roof, and additional debris, into nothingness just like how it could leave a large, empty, crater in the ground. The Great Fireball technique was traditional to the Uchiha but the way Kei performed it with one hand, the look in his eyes from the orange glow spreading over them, the way his cloak flailed around him due to the pressure of hot wind pressing down, it was a unique sight to behold. It did cost the clone a good amount of chakra but no amount of chakra equaled the lives of these innocent people.

All that’d come falling down on the clone would be ashes and smoke as it went to remove the explosive seal from the door and tell all the survivors to get out while creating an additional shadowclone to check what happened upstairs; it was seen jumping through the large hole in the roof.

Meanwhile Kei enjoyed his stroll through the forest while clearing his mind of the unfortunate images of what has befallen these people before hearing a loud blast in the background. Turning around he saw a large cloud of black smoke drifting into the air. “Fireball? What’s going o-“. But before he could give it more thought and head back, he was alerted by a scream in the forest. “A girl?”.

Frowning in concentration, Kei leaned into a quick sprint as he zig-zagged between trees and finally came to see a single girl surrounded by three men. Not wasting a second he made one handseal to activate the body replacement technique after jumping up onto a branch hidden from enemy sight by a large trunk; then swapping places with the girl.

The next thing they saw, just before almost landing a hit on the girl, was a dark-haired teenager dressed in a long black robe whose eyes were more fear inspiring than the night itself as the Sharingan was active. Because of his heightened perception, Kei saw where the opponents punch was heading and blocked it with the Kunai held in his prosthetic hand; stabbing the weapon into the enemy’s punching fist. Since he aimed he stab directly between the knuckles he’d sever both artery and small bones in a most painful blow, leaving the kunai stuck in said unfortunate hand.

He then looked between the two who still remained unhurt, before sighing as he asked them “One of you will die a traitor, one of you will die in peace. Which will be your fate?”. From the looks of it he’d willingly let himself be surrounded. But the way he spoke without so much as a drop of fear would let anyone know that he wasn’t to be trifled with. It might’ve looked like he was a fool who left himself open but any trained shinobi should know better just from the detached look of a trained killer that lingered in his eyes.

Only after he asked them that question did his prosthetic arm point down to the spaces between their feet where laid an explosive tag, one for each, that Kei’s real hand had thrown down while they would be distracted with his sudden replacement with the girl and how he blocked that punch with a kunai in one of the most painful ways possible.

“Think carefully.”.

Even though they couldn’t see it due to his long sleeve that hid it, his real hand was already in the snake seal and ready to detonate these tags within the blink of an eye as his sharingan would allow him to perceive what they wanted to do perhaps before they even did it, catching onto even the smallest movement.
