A purple mist covered the entire forest, gnawing at the trees and bodies of the already dead ninjas.
Behind a tree our protagonist was sitting panting slightly while holding his sword, his clothes were punctured and shredded, the skin of his hands and part of his left face was eaten away by a purple substance.
"I really underestimate Suna's ninjas." Said he before executing several seals.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Then ten Nori appeared and with a nod of the head, they split towards different directions.
He cut a piece of cloth and tied it around his face.
"His poison is really powerful!" Said he as he watched the purple substance gnaw at his skin and then with one step, moved away.

"Captain, what should we do?" Asked Seven Suna's ninjas standing on tree branches looking at a blonde-haired Kunoichi.
"Captain sacrificed his life to allow us to escape, we should join the troops led by Chiyo-sama." Says the Kunoichi as she looks at the purple cloud about ten metres further north.
"Follow me!" said she before run towards Konoha's defensive line followed by the seven ninjas.
But before they could react, a familiar figure appeared in front of them.
"Impossible! Commander Isawa have kill you.." but before the Kunoichi finished her words, the silhouette draw a kunai and with two steps, he disappeared.
A few seconds later, the whole unit died, leaving only the silhouette that dissipated in white smoke.
Further north Nori, who had just beheaded a Suna's ninja stopped and with a nod nodded his head made several seals, adding twenty other clones, the clones quickly headed in different directions.
About ten minutes later, a few slight drops of blood came out of his nostrils, staining the tissue attached to his face with blood.
"The Shadow clone jutsu is useful but the after-effects are really disturbing, now it's time to join the defensive line I hope they're not all dead." He whispered and then changed direction at high speed.
...
....
..
On the defensive line the fighting was raging...no Rather a massacre was taking place, more than 800 Suna ninja crushed everything in their path, Konoha ninjas would die almost every moment.
On the front line was a woman in her fifties with purple grey hair handling about ten puppets at the same time killing Konha ninajs routinely in her path, stopped her attacks, seeing a suna ninja wearing a metal helmet came to join her.
"Chiyo-Sama, the Hisha unit led by Isawa did not join us, according the last message they sent us, they were attacked by a Konoha ninja, carrying a short sword."
She remained silent for a moment before saying
"The ninja in question should be the one who has made a name for himself in recent weeks." Says she with a calm expression
"How is it possible Chiyo-Sama? Can one ninja stop two hundred qualified ninja?"cried the ninja with the metal helmet with an expression of incredulity
"Abandoned for the moment the Hisha unit, it should only take about ten minutes to finish with Konoha's ninjas." Says she before she run to the first lines.
.....
"Commander Haoki! We have already lost half our troops, our reserves of explosive parchment are running out," Says Shikaku as he killed a Suna's ninja.
Haoki, who was also in the middle of a clash with two other Suna ninja shouted
"Our retreat way is sealed, all we can do is fight to the death!" Says he by sealing several seals.
"Katon: Arrows of Fire."
Then he spat out a large amount of flame that pierced the ninjas attacking him.
"Inoichi, Shikaku cover my back!" Cries Chozā as it moved towards the battlefield by turning into a giant.
Meanwhile Nori who entered in battlefields saw his students who was surrounded by three ninja, but to his great surprise, his weakest students of the three, Guy, sucessed to put Ko his opponent in a few seconds, before helping Ebisu and Shiranui to solve their opponent.
"This kid has more talent than I think." He whispered before joining them.
"Sensei!"×3
"Head north, no Suna ninja will stop you." Says Nori looking at the battlefield, then without waiting for the answer from his students headed for Shikaku, Chozā and Inoichi further on.
"Nori, where have you been?" Asked Shikaū seeing the familiar face hiding under a cloth.
"You're pretty messed up." Says Inoichi nearby
"I got rid of a Suna unit further north, so the way is free for a retreat." Says Nori as he removes the fabric mask from his face.
"Really you always surprise me but well done, Inoichi spreads the information." Says Shikaku
Then Inoichi closed his eyes for a few seconds before nodding his head
"The information is being transmitted." Says he
"Retreat!"
"Retreat!!!!!"
Konoha's ninjas began to retreat rapidly northward at full speed under the pursuit of Suna's ninjas.
"Well Chozā hurry up! Where is commander Haoki?" Asked Shikaku who was about to leave.
"He's in the middle of a confrontation with Chidoya de Suna, one further south." Said Chozā who came to join them
"Although he's bad-tempered but he's really a ninja faithful to konoha." Says Inoichi
"Let me take care of him, you can join the others." Says Nori holding his sword
"You're hurt, be a little reasonable, let us handle it." Said Chozā
"No, my decision has already been made, although we haven't known each other for a long time, but trust me." Says Nori before using "Shave" before heading in the direction indicated by Chozā.
