Huffin in place, Marietta never saw much coming more than a glinstering of steel from the corner of her eye. She tried to grab whatever came for her but was only able to slightly bring the blade out of its intended trajectory as it shattered the lower half of her mask and it pierced through both of her cheeks before she snapped her head bac with a painful jerk that caused blood to shoot out of her lower face as she was left with a bleeding joker-smile from ear to ear.

Screaming out loud enough to make the roof shake she then went completely ballistic, showing similar psychotic tendencies to her daughter, as she aimed to smash her chakra enhanced fist into the closest side of Keldran’s ribcage to aim and send him flying off the roof to down where the others were fighting.

Meanwhile Hozo’s face was completely contorted in disgust as he saw another Keldran choking the life out of his gasping and crying daughter who’s face turned bright red, then purple, then blue, as she was suffocated but then her neck was brutally snapped before her tongue was ripped out. Blood gushing from her mouth she was then dropped to the side, her lifeless eyes staring at Hozo who was seen shaking in rage.

“You… killed her.”.

Or was it rage? No… it defiantly wasn’t. Hozo’s psychotic expression and the shaking of his body was not out of anger as he let out bellowing laughter.

“But do you honestly think I care about THAT LITTLE SHIT!? Or any of them for that matter? Hah! The more of them die the more money is left for me.”

Before the clone that killed Yahime, could then walk more than half the distance over to the real Keldran, Hozo rushed forth seemingly coming in with a basic sideway swing, wielding the Katana in two hands, before suddenly pressing off the ground in a burst of speed too fast for the eyes to follow as he charged forth and aimed to ram his shoulder hard into the Shadow-clone to lift it off its feet before then aiming to cut it in half with an upward strike which was then followed by a Horizontal strike aiming to cut the clone in four pieces; assuming it is the real Keldran.

Meanwhile the other clone of keldran, which was produced when he struck Merrieta, jumped into the air and threw a line of shuriken down at the masked children below who seemed quite agile, but also communicative, as those who saw the shuriken coming called out to the rest which allowed them to evade death while mostly staying in place by either ducking or leaning their bodies aside. “Incoming!” However, three of them had a shuriken sticking in their arm, and two had one sticking in their leg. Some cries of pain were heard but then the Child on the pillar called out “Don’t break formation!” before his body’s upper half slid off the lower half, slowly, and fell down to the floor following the reverse beheading which came completely unexpected. “How… did he strike me… behind him?” Were this child’s last words.

But as Keldran took care of that one child, who seemed to be calling the shots, the other eight jerked back on their chakra strings as Mugen tried to ascend up into the air. Obviously struggling with the Jugo’s power the children began to slide over the ground, closer towards one another, as Mugen went higher and higher. However due to the restriction in movement speed due to eight people acting as an anchor it’d take Mugen longer than his instincts would’ve expected and lightning coursed through the strings.

It was also in that moment, however, that Mugen stopped trying to go up and rushed back down in a brutal descent. At the last possible second his form was swallowed completely by the lightning but in that same second he, barely, managed to reach the ground again with his large fists covered by knuckledusters that smashed into the ground with such force that the entire ground seemed to swell up like a bubble before a large ripple raced out in all directions paired with a shockwave as the ground exploded in a 10yard area thank for Mugen’s last ditch effort. Unfortunately though, this massive impact also destroyed Keldran’s clone which had leapt down to Mugen to support the Jugo only to be caught in the circumference of the terror which unfolded in the shape of a pillar of lightning and a localized earthquake and shockwave.

A few moments later, as the smoke and debris came to settle, only three children were seen standing, although bleeding, while all others were completely maimed and disfigured by the shockwave and the erupting stone ground that rammed through several bodies. Some were still alive but completely stuck beneath heavy sections of the ground, unable to move an inch and slowly dying from the pressure onto their body.

The three who survived threw off their masks, showing child-like faces contorted with anger, and each drew a small tanto blade before rushing at the completely paralyzed Mugen. Aiming to pierce a tanto through his gut, upper left chest, and lower back, all at the same time while whispering. “At least their deaths kept their families safe. Your death will be no more than payback to them.”. Even though, if un-interrupted, these stabs would not kill Mugen. The pain would be immense and enough to shock him out of his paralyzed state.

<p class="MsoNormal">But as if that wasn’t enough, half a dozen more Masked Shinobi gathered around Mugen speaking in fascination about the boys powers and wondering whether to take him and keep him as a guard dog. One of them began waving through six handseals before keeping his hand in the tiger seal and closing his eyes. An invisible wave of chakra, as customary to Genjutu, then rushed forth to try and invade the Jugo’s mind, which would be surprisingly easy, and if successful the only thing Mugen would see around him would be copies of Keldran. Those who had died, those who stabbed him, those who surrounded him. Everyone, in Mugen’s eyes, would look and feel EXACTLY like Keldran. This would most likely cause the tranformed Jugo, who couldn't think clearly or rationaly, to assume he had killed Keldran several times over. But when trying to move, his body would not respond. Almost as if mind, instinct, and body were all detatched.

<p class="MsoNormal">All hope seemed lost for a moment but then... the black haired teenager standing in front of the earth wall raised his hand. The wind blowing around him lifting up locks of hair to reveal the most unusual set of eyes underneath. He said something... but what exactly was inaudible, before the man keeping Mugen in a Genjutsu, and his five peers, all began to float up in the air before being pulled back by an invisble force that shot them towards the black haired teenager. However, just before they reached him, a nearby, fallen over, stone pillar flew up in similar fashion, perhaps even faster, and interupted their path which led to a collision of blood and gore in which all of the six airbournd masked shinobi were smashed to a mere pulp while the pillar flew off far to the side now covered by an immense amount of squashed bodyparts. The pillar then made a loud smashing landing upon the ground and skidded along for several more yards which heavily hinted towards the immense force that set the pillar in motion. Strangely however, the black haired teenager had no broken a sweat as he lowered his hand again and stepped over the blood-covered floor in front of him to walk up to Mugen who'd just then snap out of the Genjutsu.
