Mika's smile never faltered and Hinata suddenly found a kunai moving to her chest, towards her own heart.
Sudently the two found their arms held back from killing each other, Hinata's by Guan as the large man held her small wrist with his larger hand while Mika hand her arm held back by a certain Aburame as his foot pressed against her forearm.
"That's enough." Guan's deep rumbling voice stilled the two women before he looked to Shino, "I will take them to the medics and keep an eye on them, you will accompany me. Copy cat, you and the Genjutsu woman, deal with the mop up."
Kakashi looked momentarily taken aback but let himself drop from the tree as Guan hefted his apprentice to her feet and began making his way to the medics, Hinata and Shino following closely behind.
Shino looked at Hinata as she breathed heavily, the adrenaline in her system dying down as the rush faded and her exhaustion made itself known. "You handled yourself well, Hinata-sama."
The girl jumped slightly at his voice but turned and smiled. "Thanks, you cut it a little close though." She said with a mock glare.
Shino smirked a little before he turned his eyes ahead once again.
Meanwhile Naruto was swiftly rushing through the tree's as five shadows moved after him, he slowed his pace, allowing them to overtake him and catch up, even the fool who's foot he had stabbed, though limping, also caught up.
Finally, as he made another leap, one of the Anbu made his move, their paths would intercept in mid air. Naruto caught his wrist, stopping him mid swing and punched him hard, sending him down to he forest floor as he continued his run.
Another Anbu attacked, this time, coming directly at him instead of a sideward angle. Naruto realized that he hoped to stab him as he landed on the next tree branch. It may have worked, if he was anyone else.
Using some of his wind chakra to adjust his altitude he was now beneath the branch, so instead of landing on the branch he swung under it, bringing his feet up in a straight rise, he kicked the man in the stomach just as he passed over, knocking the wind right out of him, Naruto released the branch and manipulated his wind chakra to keep moving upwards as he repeatedly kicked the man in the gut.
He then used chakra to stick to the man and literally walked around himand then used him as a platform to leap even higher just as another Anbu came in with a high kick to the area he had once been. However, due to the absence of his presence the kick connected with the unfortunate Anbu's face, the same one he'd been using as a stepping stool, sending him upwards, towards Naruto.
The a sphere of spinning Chakra formed in his hand before he slammed it into the man's back, eliciting a cry of pain from him as his insides were twisted and shredded to bits as he was sent careening down to the forest floor where he hit with a loud crash and great dust cloud.
Naruto didn't have time to enjoy his victory before he had to twist himself in mid air, as he blocked another Anbu's swipe with kunai. He grabbed the man's forearm, used wind chakra to spin around and sent him crashing into another Anbu about to lunge at him. He continued moving even after he let him go and kicked the fourth Anbu away before replacing himself with him, letting the man get impaled by the last Anbu's blade. 'Two down'
He turned, facing the three remaining Anbu, they each tensed, knowing just by how he had dispatched two of their comrades that he was indeed someone to be wary of.
Naruto unsheathed one of his blades the sword glinting in the sunlight, the edges holding a dull red hue, almost as if it was formed by the dried blood of he countless victims that had fallen to its deadly edge.
He fell into his familiar stance, the sound of his breathing, hollow and mechanical sounding due to his facemask, sent shivers down their spines.
The remaining Anbu, one with a sword, the other two with kunai each spread out surrounding him in a triangle as they took up their stances.
"Do you guy's need some help?" Came a voice from above the tree's The four ninja looked up to find two more mist Anbu standing above them.
"Taro, Masaru what are you doing here?"
"Mizukage-sama and the others have the situation under control. Mizukage-sama sent us to see if you needed back up." One of the Anbu spoke as he looked around, seeing the two dead corpses of his comrades. "Apparently you do."
"If you fool's choose to fight, then you will surely die, this will be my only offer join me, or suffer the consequences of your resistance." Naruto spoke from his place, making one of the Anbu scoff.
"Yeah right, you may have caught us off guard before but now that we're prepared and Taro and Masaru are here to help us, we'll kill you easily." The anbu with the sword sneered at the blond before he vanished, using speed that was very impressive, even by Anbu standards as he reappeared a few feet behind the blond. He smirked in satisfaction as he turned, expecting to see the Konoha nin shaking in fear, but was instead rewarded by his sword splitting in half, as if it had been cut.
