Ito and Ezume stand on top of the tree branches looking down at the shinobi.
Lee: Yoshito! You've been in our class since we were young! How could you be a part of the mist village?!
Yoshito: Their village is stronger. Why would I want to be part of a village that only gets weaker.
Lee: But it's your village!
Yoshito: We have different opinions.
Ray: I hate traitors! Especially the ones that betray me! If anyone's dying here, it's going to be you Yoshito! You can't stop four of us.
Yoshito nods at Ito and Ezume. Ezume quickly jumps down and kicks Nanami into the water. Nanami tries to get up as the rushing water is smacking into her. Ezume jumps onto the water and makes a few hand signs.
Ezume: Water Style: Small Tsunami!
A wave builds up from Under Ezume's feet. Ezume stands on top of the wave as it sucks Nanami up and washes her down the river.
Kenzo: Nanami!
Ito jumps down as Kenzo is distracted. Ito slams her giant blade into the ground.
Ito: Earth Style: Sliding Ground!
Earth comes up from the ground under Kenzo. It traps him in an enclosure of rock. Earth comes up from under Ito. Ito crouches down and holds onto the rock. On earth she creates slides across the ground. They disappear into the trees.
Ray: You just stole the rest of my team!
Yoshito: To make it easier to kill you.

He jumps back onto the ground. Lee punches Yoshito in the stomach. Yoshito takes one step back.
Yoshito: You're taijutsu has always been a pain in the ass Lee. You could barely hit me, but you had a good left hook. Maybe I'll take your hand with me.
Lee: You're lucky Sensei Kaori was here, he would give you hell. Since he isn't. I'll have to.
Yoshito: what hell can you bring? A spark?
Lee runs at Yoshito. He roundhouse kicks. Yoshito grabs Lee's kick with his left hand. With his right hand he punches Lee in the stomach twice and drops Lee's foot. Lee falls to the ground.
Ray: Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!
Yoshito: Huh?
Yoshito turns around to the sight of the largest fireball he has ever seen. The fireball slams into Yoshito.

Kenzo can feel that he is moving, but all he sees is the darkness from the rock that is covering him. The rock stops and Kenzo's head moves forward smashing his nose against the rock. Ito sees Kenzo stuck in the rock. Ito starts doing hand signs.
Ito: Easiest battle I have ever been in. Earth Style: Earth burial-
Kenzo: Lightning Style: Lightning Shield!
The rock around Kenzo is blasted back.
Ito: I thought you might have already been dead. You just now thought to use a jutsu?
Kenzo: didn't think a jutsu would have broken through that. Your ninjutsu must be weak.
Ito: I focus more on kenjutsu.
Ito takes her sword out of the rock.
Ito: What can you do?
Kenzo runs at Ito. Ito swings her blade. Kenzo jumps over the blade and above Ito. When Kenzo is directly above Ito he makes a hand sign.
Kenzo: Lightning Style: Kosen!
A beam of lightning shoots out from Kenzo. A piece of Ito's sword breaks off and flies above Ito. The price of her sword blocks the lighting and returns to the sword.
Kenzo: What?
Ito swings her sword around. Little bits of lightning flicker off the sword. The sword hits Kenzo, and Kenzo is blasted back by lightning. Kenzo slams into a tree.
Kenzo: Ah!
Ito swings her sword again. Kenzo looks up and sees the sword coming down from above him. Kenzo rolls to the side and Ito's sword. The sword slices the tree in half.
Kenzo: Chidori!
A ball of lightning appears in Kenzo's hand. He propels himself off the ground and presses the lightning ball against Ito. A piece of her blade jumps in front of the chidori. The chidori and peice of the blade both shake without moving too far forward or back. The chidori disappears and the piece of the blade shatters. Kenzo's fist hits Ito in the back. Ito swings her sword behind her. Kenzo ducks under it. The blade goes past him. Kenzo jumps up and kicks off Ito. He flies through the air back a few feet.
Ito: That's only the second time someone has been able to break a piece off of my blade.
Kenzo: I thank Son Goku for that.
Ito: You're a jinchuriki? Then the four tails will die with you.

Kichi moves across the tree branches like he lives on the trees. He stays alert, but the forest is dead quiet. Kichi sees red in the distance. He starts moving slower. Kichi stops, hidden behind the leaves. He sees blood everywhere. Kichi jumps down to the ground. He sees one person bleeding out, holding his stomach. Kichi crochets down near him.
Kichi: What happened? Was it another leaf shinobi traitor?
Shinobi: Leaf traitor, no. It was a blond woman. She had a mist headband and a sword.
Kichi: One of the swordsmen?
The shinobi winces in pain.
Shinobi: Ugh! I don't know. I thought the leaf ninja would have shown some mercy, but I didn't expect mist village ninja.
Kichi: It's okay. I'll handle it. I'll make sure no one else dies to that woman. Where did she go?
Shinobi: Thank you Kichi.
The shinobi barely musters the strength to move his arm in the direction the woman went. Kichi jumps into the trees. He moves even faster than before. He glides across the trees. He hears someone moving across the trees. He catches up to the person and jumps across the trees beside the person. Kichi sees Tomo. Before Tomo can react Kichi throws shurikens. Tomo blocks the shurikens with her sword and they both land in the ground.
Tomo: A real leaf ninja. I thought everyone was going to be like those other ninja.
Kichi: Those other ninja aren't nobody because you can kill them.
Tomo: You weren't born in the mist village.
Kichi jumps at Tomo.
