Kakashi spots the target and signals his team. Four teens charge forward and two leap to the rooftops. The cloaked figure drops to their knees to dodge the first hit and lays flat to avoid the second. A burst of chakra propels the enemy upwards and the cloak falls off revealing silver hair and round glasses. The man smirks before a forest green glow surrounds his hands as he lands in the center of the four attackers.
"Chakra scalpels! Dodge and counter! Dont block!" Kakashi barks as he rushes the enemy.
A swarm of insects wrap the target and there is a puff of smoke as a log is revealed to have been stung. Sasuke spits out a ball of flame and lunges to the side as a glowing hand swings where his neck was a moment earlier. Sakura joins Naruto and both slam a fist into the man, sending him skidding backwards. Blood flies from his mouth as the man coughs from the blow to the chest. Jake leaps forward and his hands shine as fingers stab the target. A swipe of a glowing hand sends the teen back in a dodge and the target pants for a moment before he smirks and vanishes in a plume of smoke. Sam curses and looks at his friend. William raises his arms and a seething black mass flows from his sleeves. Insects wrap the target and he is dragged from the shadows behind jake. The short boy nods his thanks and lunges forward. The target cries out in pain and vanishes in a puff of smoke.
"Shadow clone! Leaf traitor!" Kakashi cries to the team. William nods and spreads out his insects.
"His chakra is fleeing in three directions. North, south and east." William reports.
Kakashi nods and sends the teens out. Three per direction and he will take the last. Naruto charges east as Sam heads south. Kakashi leaps to a roof and blitzes north. William and Jake both catch up to their team member and the three trade a nod before they separate. Sam spots the target and smirks before he forms a hand seal and spews a flood of lava that surrounds the target.
Sam laughs and leaps over the lava as a wave of molten stone rises at his command. The target leaps upwards with a burst of chakra and smirks at the boy's string of curse words. The smirk fades as he is slammed to the ground by a falling knee strike from william. The tall boy vanishes in a blur and is replaced by jake. Shining fingers strike the target and he groans before a mass of insects cover him. A bark of pain sounds as the insects drain his chakra and bite into his flesh.
The target slumps to the ground and falls unconscious as Sam cools the lava. William approaches and binds the target. Wrists are tied together before William spits out a thick yellowish fluid that coats the bound man's fingers and hardens. Each finger is now stuck in a thick sheet of the yellow substance and William stands after binding the man's ankles together. The man is set on a shoulder and William turns to his team. They are giving him weird looks.
"What?" William rumbles.
"The fuck did you spit on him?" Sam demands.
"Wax. My bees produce wax and I have begun to train in the use of it. It hardens to stone levels of durability when chakra is added. Very useful." William explains.
"Wait. you can make wax whenever you want? Can you make candles?" Jake asks.
"I can produce the wax but not make candles. Yet. i don't know how to.'' William replies.
Jake nods and they turn to head back to the kazekage towre as William sends an insect to inform kakashi. The teens walk and Sam chats to Jake about his idea for a new jutsu involving a volcano as William replays the fight in his head. The fight went well but he is confused by the usage of shadow clones. Most ninja avoid them like the plague in a fight if possible due to the high chakra cost. Some jonin are only able to make one and then they are fighting at a genin level from the chakra exhaustion. This man was able to create three and still fight at a chunin level. His insects did not report high enough chakra levels for this. How did he do it then? William sends a few bugs to search the man for anything that might explain this problem. William stiffens and looks to his team after the insects return to report to him.
"We need to report in. NOW." William snaps.
The tall man vanishes in a blur and his friends follow. The charge through the village alerts a few anbu members of the sand village and they follow the leaf teens. William ignores the receptionist and bursts into the office of the kazekage. He drops the target and looks to the leader of sand.
"Orochimaru is trying to learn about your village. You need to lock it down and search everything." William tells him with a frantic tone.
Rasa nods and orders his ninja to do so. Now you may be wondering why a kage is listening to a genin. Well. Rasa knows about the aburame clan and one thing that anyone who knows about the clan can tell you. If they have emotion in their voice then it's important. Aburame are always calm and only lose their cool in the most extreme circumstances. Rasa looks at the man at William's feet and then at the tall boy.
"What tells you that orochimaru is spying on my village?" the heavily tanned man questions.
"The target. He has a curse mark. Orochimaru only gives those to his high level subordinates. He also is experienced in it. Not once did I spot the designs spreading across his body when we fought. This means he is able to draw on a specific amount instead of just pulling as much chakra as he can handle." William reports.
Rasa nods and tells his anbu to take the target to the torture cells. The ninja have barely vanished when Kakashi enters the room. He is brought up to speed and his eye darkens.
"He must be misleading us then. The latest reports say that orochimaru was spotted near iwagakure. He shows himself in one area as he tries to infiltrate another with subordinates." kakashi tells rasa.
Sasuke asks who orochimaru is and Kakashi turns to answer but is interrupted by jake.
"Orochimaru is the snake sanin. A master of stealth and snake based ninjutsu. He is one of the three legendary sanin, a team of nearly kage level ninja that are said to be able to destroy villages when they work together. He is also called the white snake defiler due to his obsession with power. He has been spotted breaking into morgues to steal bodies of ninja so he can dissect them and learn the secrets of their flesh. Orochimaru is the single worst man to come out of konoha due to his vile practices. Rumor says that he was the one responsible for the disappearances of clan children, supposedly he would kidnap the children and either dissect them or experiment on them in pursuit of his two goals. Immortality and knowledge of every jutsu in existence, bloodline jutsu are the reason for his insanity. If he can't use them now then he will find a way to implant that power into his own body so he can wield it." Jake tells the group.
"Not that I'm complaining about the information. How the fuck do you know that?!" Sam states before he shouts.
"I've read about him. His fighting style is based on precision like my own. I researched him to help develop my own style." Jake replies.
There are a few nods and Naruto runs to the trashcan to throw up. Sakura follows his example. The teams are sent back to konoha after kakashi is handed a scroll with the payment. The kazekage is bowed to before the ninjas depart.
Curse words flow from Sam as he follows his friends across the dunes and hot sand gets in his pants.
