Team Taka was being pursued by hordes of enemy ninja.

"Death loves a coward!" Juugo snarled. He surged forward and started fighting.

Suigetsu shrugged. "The smart thing to do would be to hide and wait it out." He leapt up into a tall tree and started to wait.

Karin ran towards the enemy ninja, holding a white flag. "In times like these," she muttered. "It's best to join the enemy."

Sasuke surveyed the turmoil around him. The enemy ninja were closing in on him.

"These are malevolent forces," Sasuke said sagely. "Which the wise will neither confront nor avoid." He cracked his knuckles. "The key is to know the nature of your antagonist." Sasuke then dropped to the ground and started to play dead.
