(Note: Due to recent clarifications from Keru, it should be understood that the leader of a battalion controls what the soldiers are like. Make a list of nature users, med-nin, and other specialists for future reference in your next post, 3rd Battalion Leader Taka.)

The elite Fūma soldiers tasked with making clones for Myoo provided 4 identical shadow clones that followed behind Myoo's water clone. They all reached into the shack without any hinderance, it seemed that all was going well. Accordingly they began to gather supplies and forage through the shack to see what was all within it. Each and every one of them would find military-grade supplies wherever they went, their were stashes in the open and some hidden. Everything as promised was inside, med-kits, ration pills; vital things to help sustain people in long, drawn-out battles.

One of the shadow clones in the back of the shack found a small opening where a great deal of supply boxes sat. It didn't seem as though there was anyone around and the others were searching other parts of the shack to gather all the supplies they needed. Besides all the clones needed to do was just peek from the side to see behind to see if there were any other supplies behind. Perhaps even some other goods? It would be unbelievable for the clone not to.

If it did, all it would find was a blade in its head as a crouching Anbu instantly struck out against the clone, instantly making it disappear. How could this be, and why couldn't any of the sensors pick up on this? From there it would begin to rush through the house and try to dismantle and kill the rest of the shadow clones. Given the wild and blind tactics of the Anbu, he could be easily killed or handled.

Suddenly, 3 other signatures would appear surrounding the divisions currently together. The sensory-nin in Taka's divison, the only ones who were actively searching for anything could see these signatures appearing.

A single arrow shot out from the left side of the 3rd battalion, straight towards the middle of the division. It was traveling at a blurring speed and given how clustered the men were it would've easily hit at least one of them. There was nothing to interrupt it or really expect it. If the arrow made its mark unhindered, it would've simply lodged itself into the helmet of a man sending him falling down with a crick in his neck. Yet he was alive, they could thank the superior quality of Fūma steel to this. For the time being. As the arrow in question was covered in explosive tags.

Right when the man in question was hit in the head, the eplosive tags covering the arrow glowed bright before harshly exploding with enough force and power to lift even these fully armored soldiers off their feet and even send some limbs flying into the air if none of the Fūma soldiers could defend themselves from this ambush. This would've killed 4 or so men, the rest only left in shock and reeling back needing pull themselves back up.

Hidden from the battalion on their right side was another Anbu, creating 20 clones, 19 of which were just regular illusions while only 1 among them was an exploding Shadow Clone. They all began to charge from behind the trees rushing towards the flank of the battalion with the intention of damaging them even further. The only one who was perceptive enough to to realize the illusion of the others was Takahiro, and by that to also see the true danger among them.

Before the clones could even reach however, all of them quickly faded from sight and the exploding clone simply combusted on the spot, scattering earth and debris in all directions. What happened? Just behind the treeline, everyone near the right side of the battalion could see a fog rolling through the forest and beginning to reach towards them. A long pike suddenly reached out, atop of it was the freshly decapitated head of an Anbu. The sudden motion made it slip from it steel confine, before falling down and rolling just a little before it was swallowed back up. A faint laugh could be heard as the mist suddenly exploded forth, threatening to swallow the entire area whole if nothing was done.

The Demons of the Mist have arrived.

Back in Konoha, The Mist had finally arrived and was beginning to surround The Rise army with a quarter of their 30,000 soldiers beginning to charge straight into the destroyed eastern wall the rest of them began to surge and swarm on Konoha's southern and northern walls charging headstrong into the village. The shinobi concentrated on the eastern walls like many others would be crushed in a pincer strike while supplementary forces in the back began to make it rain as they looked skyward before unleashing spouts of water that would make it rain and flood the streets. The situation in Konoha was turning from bad to worse, on the end of the Akatsuki it seemed as though everything was under control for now.

Even people as far out as the 3rd battalion were starting to deal with enemies, the remnants of the Anbu stranded in these infested forests and the ninja of Kirigakure were this far out as they scouted out for enemies to crush. 3 armies in an all out war all for Konoha. Who would stand out on top, and what would the 3rd battalion do with this new information?
