"What was that Jutsu that you guess used that caused those metal spike to come out of the ground, I've never seen anything like that", asked Konohamaru after he swallowed the pill he was given.
"The Jutsu was a Jutsu that I can use thanks to my Clan Bloodline", answered Fox.
"But that impossible the only Bloodline that could use Jutsu's involving metal was the Tatara Clan, thanks to their Kōton (Steel Release) Bloodline. And they disappeared right before the founding of the Great Shinobi villages, they were thought to be extinct long ago", said Gai in disbelief.
"That was something we wanted the world to believe, since we went into hiding in the mountain ranges of Kaminari no Kuni (Lightning Country) and lived there until we were discovered when the Civil War started and we joined the Rebel factions. Now we are proud members of Kumogakure", replied Fox, shocking the Konoha team.
"And that Jutsu you used, it was like what Gaara-kun can use, wheen he uses Sand manipulating Jutsu", spoke Lee.
"That was correct, I can use Sabuton (Sand Release) much like The Godaime Kazekage and all other previous Ichibi no Shukaku (One-Tailed Shukaku) host. Although I cannot use it on their level since my Clan were the original Guardians of the Ichibi no Shukaku spirit, until we were wrongfully accused of treason by the Yondaime Kazekage and were forced to flee where we eventually joined Kumo. I can do Sabuton thanks to special Hiden Jutsu that my Clan created based on the abilities of the Ichibi no Shukaku (One-Tailed Shukaku) hosts", replied Chimera.
"And that changing into a Lion trick, since it was like no henge I ever seen", said Kiba who was now starting to regain his control and feeling into his body thanks to the antidote that they were given by the STORM-nins.
"No it wasn't I simply transformed into one, since I 'am from the Shihōin Clan", answered Lion. This got a confuse look from the younger Konoha members, but an understanding look from the Gai.
"Yes I see, that makes sense now", replied Gai.
"Sensei?" asked Lee.
"There are stories that I have heard, where in Kumo there lives a Clan called the Shihōin Clan that has the a Bloodline that allows them to literally transform into a certain type of animal that matches their personality. I heard of them but I have never met one until now, they are even said to be one of the three great founding Clans of Kumo much like how the Uchiha's and the Senju Clans were Konoha's great founding Clans", answered Gai. This of course surprised Kiba and the others at such a Clan existing.
"You are well informed Gai-san, but I believe that we no longer have any more time for talking", spoke Fox as he pointed out to the large number of Kiri-nins coming towards them.
"Yes of course we cannot let these un-youthful Shinobi damper our flames of you", cried Gai.
"Hai and before this battle over I shall defeat fifty more Kiri Ninja and if I cannot do that I shall swim to Mizu no Kuni and back with just one hand", cried Lee.
"Yosh! The flames of youth burn brightly in you my beautiful student and I shall help you achieve your goal. Where if you should fail I shall run around Konoha one thousand times with just my hands", cried Gai after which he and Lee charged forward crying out Youth.
At this the STORMS-nins just had large sweat drops at the back of their heads.
"Man!... They're just as crazy and weird as I heard….but still he can't help but kind of like them", thought fox with a slight smile behind his mask, where he and the other STORMS-nins ran forward to help Gai and Lee. They were then soon followed by Konohamaru and the others, as well as the Wave defenders who had recovered from the poison and now wanted in on the action and drive Kiri out of their Country.
-Western Part of the Village-
On the Eastern part of the Village, Yamato was wounded and leaning against a wall with Shino who was unable to move, since he had gotten a heavy dose of the poison and his Kikaichū where busy trying to get rid of the poison, but this still left him numb and unable to move. Sai was struggling to hold off a Kiri Jonin that he was fighting against with his two Tanto's. Tiger, Wolf and Bird were also busy fighting off several Kiri-nins with a few remaining Samurai who were still able to fight, and were trying to protect Tazuna and the other men. Who were down due to either the poison or the wounds they got from fighting.
As Sai was blocking several strikes from a Jonin swordsman, the swordsman was able to knock one of his Tanto's from his hands. After which he then threw a pepper bomb into his eyes, temporary blinding him for a few seconds, giving the Jonin the opening he needed. Where he knocked Sai to the ground, when Sai started seeing again he quickly saw the Kiri Jonin stand over with his sword ready to stab him.
But just when the swordsman was about to kill him, Sai suddenly heard a female voice cry out "Tentaiya (Celestial Arrow)" (L) and an arrow made out of Chakra pierced the Jonin in the chest from the back killing him.
At the same time severally Kiri-nins who were about to fire their Kunai Launchers on Tiger, Wolf and Bird (who had just fought off their opponents) from a nearby roof top. Suddenly found themselves surrounded by hundreds of flowers that seemed to grow from the roof floor and around them. After which a male voice cried out "Koubaton: Chika (Plant Style: Scattered Flowers)" (M) where thousands of flower petals started swirl around them with great speed and created a spiral sphere that surrounded them on all side. When the Kiri-nins tired to get out the flowers petal cut them like small tiny blades, after which the sphere started to collapse on itself, where it got smaller and smaller until the Kiri-nins had no room left and cut to pieces where their screams of horror and pain were heard by all around them. When the attacked ended all that remained of the Kiri-nins was the shredded clothing, pools of blood and small tiny chucks of meat.
When Sai and the others looked up they saw two STORM-nins standing on the roof tops, where one who was clearly female by the shape of her body and was wearing a Snake ANBU mask was holding a bow and arrow made out Chakra in her hand. The other next to her who wore a Frog shape ANBU mask had his hands stretched out and had the remaining flowers, fall back into the ground.
"Who the hell are those guys?" asked Tiger
"I believe that they're STORM-nins from Kumo, the same group that saved my sensei Kureani and the rest of her team from The Hold", answered Shino who was just as surprised as the others but was able to hide it better than the others.
"What is Kumo doing here? This fight doesn't concern them", spoke Bird.
"Better yet what kind of Jutsu did that guy use?...Was it Mokuton (Wood Release)?" asked Wolf.
"No it wasn't Mokuton" spoke Yamato as he held his bleeding side. "I have heard legends about a Clan existing in Kumo that had a special Bloodline called Koubaton (Plant Release), which is similar in some aspects to Mokuton. The Clan is called the Kuchiki Clan and only a few members of the Clan posses the Bloodline, it even said the the Kuchiki Clan are one of the Five founding Clans of Kumo much like how the Uchiha and Senju Clans are Konoha's."
"But what about the other one with the bow and arrow made out of Chakra?" asked Sai.
"I don't know I never heard of a Bloodline or a Clan technique like that before", replied Yamato since he was just as curious as the others were about the female STORM-nin technique.
"That is no concern to any of you about my techniques Yamato-san, but you are correct about my partner Bloodline and him being a member of the Kuchiki Clan and it being similar to your Mokuton power", replied Snake when she and her patner appeared in fron of the Konoha team, and at the same time surprising Yamato about how she knew his name.
