Mifune's POV (Samurai Main Camp - Land of Iron)
He supposed it had been far too long since Mifune had been in battle. He had been stunned when a dark being formed into their base. Simply naming himself Black, Zetsu had started killing samurai. Before the large force could overwhelm the single man, several samurai screamed out in pain. Each of them had a white blob somewhere on their person. They collapsed as the blobs formed into White Zetsu. The now-emerging clones grab the blades of the fallen samurai.
The samurai reacted by instinct, charging toward the intruders, ready to slay those who would dare oppose the Land of Iron. But each expert swordsman was suddenly outdone by the White Zetsu, who somehow were superior swordsmen and outpaced each of them with ease.
"It seems once again your spore technique comes in handy," Zetsu commented as the White Zetsu chuckled at the violence they unleashed. Now, nine White Zetsu and one black one stood before the crowd of angry samurai.
"It works quite well. I even gained their chakra and skills. An invaluable tool, truly! There are so many of me!" One of the White Zetsu's celebrated happily. "Should I kill them now?"
"May as well."
The Zetsu cackled as they drew their blades and called out in sync. "Flash!" Suddenly, eight chakra blades cut through the remaining men in front of Mifune. Mifune dashes forward after dodging the mayhem. "AGAIN! FLASH!" They called, sending another volley of chakra blades through the air.
Mifune met this attack with his own drawing of his blade as the attacks met. "Quick Draw: Netting of Blades!" He called, slashing his sword upwards. The air seemed to rive from the slash, forming intersected lines. The chakra blades were cut into bits as they met this odd technique. The impressive attack countering the volley. Mifune stomped forward angrily as Black Zetsu marched forward to meet him. "I can forgive many things, but for the crime of killing my men, I will sentence you to death."
"I'm afraid a human like you could never defeat me," Zetsu claimed as he slid into a defensive stance.
The two faced off as the White Zetsu clones prepared to charge into the fearful samurai. Two raced forward, and two cut into them before suddenly freezing. The White Zetsus and samurai watched in shock as the two Zetsu collapsed. Bodies falling in two.
"Delayed Death: Splitting End," Reizo announced as they walked in to face the crowd of remaining Zetsu. "Samurai do not send their men to death. They face death head-on, prepared to meet a fitting end. You do not have the resolve to achieve such a thing." Reizo lectured as he faced off with the crowd.
Darui - Path to Iron Camp
He walked forward, bored, as C filled him in on the situation. There was a group of criminals causing chaos, and A sent the two of them to stop them. They were on their way to the samurai camp when suddenly, a strange sight blocked their path. It was the silver-haired Leaf Genin who had gone AWOL on his team. Darui believed his name was Kabuto Yakushi.
"I hate to say this, fellas, but I cannot allow you any further," Kabuto said simply, his glasses shining in the night.
"We are on orders of the Mighty Raikage. Either stand aside or face the wrath of the Cloud." C order sliding out a kunai.
"He's here to stall us." Darui guessed. "Suppose tonight will be anything but dull. Though I must ask, we are too high-level Jounin. Do you truly believe you'll be able to stop us?"
Kabuto merely smirked as he fell into an aggressive stance. "Before, you would've been right. Not for my false ranking as a pathetic Leaf soldier, but the two of you would've easily slayed me even then. But thanks to our ally Ikam. I'm practically immortal!" Kabuto said, crazed as seals suddenly covered his skin. "Do me a favor, and don't die quickly!"
Leifazu's POV (Nearby Naruto)
Leifazu, Tayuya, and Sakon observed the two teams meeting. As much as they wanted to attack it would be risky with the amount of shinobi present. Instead, they followed the meeting team seeing they were going into a large bar and decided to camp it out until Naruto separated from the others. Besides, a group drinking and having fun would surely let their guard down. Once he did, Leifazu would kill Naruto. Sure the snake had wanted him alive but Leifazu hated his blood brethren and would see to their death.
Let them enjoy the night for now. Because soon they would be remorseful of the day their friend was taken from them.
Little did they know a different kind of beast was observed in the distance. Wanting the same prey but being very unwilling to share.
