The night was calm and Khanes assasin unit moved through the shadows lightly not to be discovered by Desu followers. Khane have had enough of this Civil war that had cost many lives, not only shinobis but many civilians had lost both home and families.

Tonight he intended to end this once and for all, and brazed himself since he was the one who would bring Desu to his knees and end this reign of terror.

A cold breeze could be felt under the starlit sky, he was under constant pressure.

How did it ever become like this he thought to himself.

No one would want it to be like this, and yet here it was, the first Civil war since the beginning of Glacerian History.

The Glacerians had always been a more Peacefuller type of Shinobis that believed in a code, However it seemed as those old values ment nothing anymore, the countless of war with it's neighbor had developed this village into a violent village, Those who valued the ideas of Desu who tried to make a military force strong enough to overthrow the other villages and those still believing that peace can solve all. Current almost always had been the strongest village was built up stone by stone in the same way that desu now had tried to do, They lacked honor and lived in a cruel world where the strongest was superior and the weak was neglected and because of that they had produced many strong shinobis that brought death to their enemies instead of trying to settle it without casualties as Glacier always had tried.

Khane and the assassin unit which was consisted by Panama, Anasya and kid stared at the building that had risen little by little as they had silently run through out the city looked at each others.

Not a word was spoken, not a sound was made, Only hard eyes was traded as they nodded.

They all knew that this would become a hard battle and that survival might be slim, But they didn't budge, their mind was set and focused, Whatever the outcome would become they would bring him to his knees even if their last breath would come and their lives would end.

Yet they still asked themselves the question... Why?

The four of them jumped down and separated, Heading towards the palace in full speed, Hoping that this would become easier than they had anticipated, that no unnecessary battles would be fought and that lives would be spared. Khane jumped up on the wall and started to climb towards the balcony, He was certain that he would be there, That it soon would be settled and end this tragic times forever. As he came closer an eerie feeling emerged from within him. As a dark siluette came towards him drawing out two katanas which scrapped the wall leaving a long cut mark from them as he run down the wall towards Khane, who took out two Kunais and threw them towards the foe who had appeared, but they got deflected and the enemy Shinobi leaped of the wall towards Khane and Swung his weapons towards him. The wall before Khane suddenly got crushed under a blue light that cracked the wall, it looked like the slice into air was heading towards him, blue shining and deadly. Khane jumped upwards and over the Shinobi and continued to run towards the balcony, he didn't have time for this fight.

&&&&&&&&

The attack alerted the other guards and Panama found himself in a ring with shadows all around him on the rooftops and balconies. He froze and waited for the moon to come out behind the cloud that had engulfed it's light. These shadowy figures slowly moved towards him hidden in the shadows.

Panama didn't see many of them but his experience told him otherwise, there was over ten Shinobis surronding him, He knew that even if it was low Chuunin level Ten Shinobis is still hard to fight especially if they all attack one after another leaving no room for catching breath. He Brazed himself and looked up at the cloud that let the moon free from it's grasp and the road he stood on was lit up and reviled the foes around him...

With a instant move he jumped straight upwards and made handseals as fast as he could while his eyes scouted out targets for the jutsu.
His enemies jumped after him some making handseals some drawing weapons while others waited, ready to launch their own attacks against the Rebel fighter.

The Jutsu was realesed from Panamas and two of the closes shinobis suddenly changed their directions and over the following group two gigant ice blocks form that falls towards them, Two got instantly crushed by the two ice masses that was dropped and other managed to aviod them and landed a bit back as they hit the ground cracking the stone road while the ice blocks created an crater where they now were resting over the dead bodies of their comrades.

The two then continued to attack their comrades with taijutsu, eagerly and chaotic they launched and launced kicks and fists towards them.

"Die Curretian scums! We will never let you take over glacier!" they both screamed.

Panama landed on the resting ice blocks already finished with his next jutsu.

A one of the shinobis got caught in it and found himself within surronded by curretian ninjas. In shear panic the shinobi flead from the area leaving Panama with no only seven shinobis left and two is fighting on his side, But the effects of having two Genjutsu techniques active at the same time was consuming chakra and fast.

The last three shinobis jumped against Panama, Throwing Shurikens and kunais towards him as they moved their way towards him preparing to unleash their jutsus. Panama Jumped backwards trying to dodge the weapons but had to parry the last ones of them, But his eyes widdend when he saw three jutsus coming against him from three different angles, He moved instinctive and avoided the first and the second, but just as he landed he got struck by the third one. An Lightning Dragon. Before he could recover from the pain he found himself having trouble with moving and got attacked by one of the shinobis who came flying and kicked him in the torso letting him fly into the wall of the house behind him. The wall cracked from the impact force and panama felt his whole body failing to listen to his commands, The pain was immense, But he wouldn't give up, He couldn't, To many lives stood at stake.

Once again he got hit by the lightning dragon and the force sent him through the concrete wall and the next one in the room inside the building, His vision became blurry and all of his body became paralyzed by the injury he had sustained, blood gushed out from an open wound on his left shoulder, it was a hole, where the dragon had pierced through his skin and into his bone, the hole was around to inches wide and about one and a half deep, He tried to stand up but couldn't his arms had no strength neither did his legs which he couldn't even feel, In fact the only thing he was able to feel was the pain from the big and deep wound that he knew would make him die out of blood loss if he didn't get medical treatment fast.

Kid was sneaking around the palace garden trying to get access through there as loud noise echoed followed by other soon after, she realized fast that her comrade had been engaged in combat. However she had gotten her orders to get to the top and try to assassinate Desu, it was an order she didn't really like and opposed from the beginning since aiding comrades should have been prioritized. Her mind was divided by the honor of completing a mission for the greater good and to help her friends. She became so caught up in the thoughts of what to do that she didn't notice that Anasya was sitting next to her trying to silently contacting her.

Kid noticed her after a little while and smiled towards her, Anasya gave her a nod as in agreeing that she could go and help those who would need help and so she did, Rushed out from the bushes and towards where the noise had come from.

&&&&&&&

Khane ran on the palace wall still heading towards the balcony, The Shinobi turned his way and followed him upwards in an quest to stop Khane from getting there.
Khane kept an eye on the shinobi who threw shurikens and kunais towards him hoping they would let him get a bit closer to his prey.
But Khane suddenly turned at the Shinobi running backwards and with all the speed he had in his hands performed seals which ended just as fast as he had turned. Two blades was formed into his hands as he suddenly stopped with one knee onto the wall in a sitting position and took a deep breath...
"Dance of the Demon Blades" Khane screamed as the swords lit up, Pulsating with his Chakra as he threw himself towards the Shinobi, Who made his seals and his sword started to glow as before and they now headed towards a clash, Khane struck his right sword againt the Shinobis and his left towards his torso which hitted, and from no Where a another sword appeared in his left hand. Khane focused as much as he could and swiftly sliced against his opponent who after the first hit was unable to block. The clash of Khanes right sword and the Shinobis sword stirred up an whirlwind of chakra that surrounded them and cracked the wall under it's pressure and their feets dug into the concrete wall like ice would crack underneath their weight.

Khane knew he was victorious, but kept going until he had dugged in fifteen swords in the opponents body that had started to fall towards the ground beneath them.

Khane looked at his opponents lifeless body that soon would crash into the ground, You had potential who ever you were, and turned as he continued to the balcony of Desus office, Believing that he soon would end this horrified war that had been brought onto Glacier.
