Kale's POV

"Kiba don't miss the timing with the smoke bomb." Shikamaru said.

"I won't."

"Alright let's split into two squads." Our leader commanded.

I was with Shikamaru and Neji hiding in some bushes.

"I don't think they noticed us yet." Shikamaru said.

"Where's Sasuke?" I asked "I'm not seeing him."

"Hmm…I think he's in that coffin." Neji said.

The enemies were surrounding a large wooden barrel with seal marks and tags on it.

"Is he dead?" I asked.

"It's some sort of barrier." Neji explained "I can barely see through it, however why would they have killed him in such a hurry, it seemed like they wanted him alive?"

"Good point." Shikamaru nodded "We should assume he's alive in there."

*TINK*

Suddenly a Kunai flew passed by our heads and jammed into a tree.

"Exploding tags?"

"Ice Wall!"

I pulled up a shield wall but we still got blasted out into the open.

How'd they know?

"That bush had bugs instead of rabbits." One man sighed.

The group of ninjas before us all had sound headbands on. They came in various shapes and sizes from a large fat one, to one with six arms, one girl who actually seemed pretty normal…and a guy with two heads.

"Wait!" Shikamaru got defensive "We didn't come to fight, we're here to negotiate."

"HYP!" the one with six arms moved his hands and yanked Naruto and the others out of the bushes.

Kiba threw his bomb and covered the area in a dense smoke.

"It's useless." The six armed man said "These strings are thinner and stronger than wire, they're also hard to detect, I've covered the whole area."

"Damn, it was a triple layered trap." Shikamaru sighed "I didn't think they'd go another level…"

"You're all gonna…huh, I can't."

"Nice Shikamaru." Naruto cheered.

During the commotion with the smoke Shikamaru too the chance to bind the four enemies with his shadow.

"Thanks for falling into this." Shikamaru smirked.

"Are you sure?" the white haired one asked.

The big guy suddenly bent over and slapped his hands on the ground.

He broke free?

"Clay Prison!"

"Dammit!" Shikamaru yelled as the earth closed around us.

"Let us out!" Naruto yelled punching the wall.

"Outta the way." Kiba told him.

"Piercing Fang!"

Kiba jumped and slammed into the wall with his spinning attack, he dug a small hole but the wall resisted him and restored itself.

"You all saw that right?" Kiba asked.

"Yeah the wall repaired itself." I said.

"This is no ordinary wall." Neji said staring at it "I see…this is bad, our chakra is being sucked out."

It only took a few seconds but I could already feel myself getting weaker and more tired.

"We've gotta break this wall." Kiba said feeding his dog a pill "And quickly before it sucks us dry."

"Akamaru let's go!" Kiba commanded as the dog transformed to look like him.

"Double Piercing Fang!"

Kiba and Akamaru crashed into the wall, again a small hole burrowed but restored in seconds. Kiba and the dog went at it a few more times but not a single hole opened up.

"The ground and wall repair faster than we can dig." I sighed "This is bad."

"Hey I wanna talk!" Shikamaru yelled "We won't follow Sasuke just let us out."

"What are you saying?!" Naruto yelled.

"I'm not letting you all out." The man said from the outside.

"Then just let me out." Shikamaru said "I'm sick off all this."

"HEY!" Kiba yelled "What's you problem?!"

"So the leader want sot save himself." The man said from outside "A loser like you doesn't deserve the title of leader. Selling the others out, you deserve to die here."

"Shikamaru what's your problem!" Naruto yelled "Get over here so we can find a way out."

"Everyone shut up!" Choji glared.

"Hmm…" Shikamaru took a breath and looked at the wall "Neji, look at that wall."

"Hey Shut up!" Naruto yelled.

"You're not in charge!" I snapped "You need to shut it!"

"Everyone calm down." Shikamaru said "from here on we whisper."

"I see it." Neji pointed "right there."

"Stick a dagger there." Shikamaru said "Choji get ready."

"I don't get it?" Naruto tilted his head.

"I think that's the weak spot." I told him "an areas of low chakra shielding, a place we can smash to get out. It regenerated much slower than the other walls, when Shikamaru talked to the guy outside his voice came from the other end, that spot Choji will attack is directly opposite from the channeler."

I focused my hand "We've got one shot, I'll boost you through."

"Let's go!" Choji yelled curling into a giant ball.

"Quas, Wex, Exort! Invoke: Deafening Blast!"

I shot off a boom of sound and blasted Choji forward through the wall.

"Perfect!" I cheered.
