"Tamaki! We need to help the master!" The female patron from earlier spoke.
Tamaki's POV (Western River Plains of Irminsul - Terra)
"There won't be a need." Tamaki assured with ease. "The Master will take care of this with grace."
As soon as the first wasp drew close the entire mob froze. In midair each lied suddenly still, they twitched and snapped their mandibles and yet made no attempt to get closer.
"Hatred blind us all, perhaps if you spent more time enjoying the beauty of this world you could've enjoyed it longer. Beautiful Tapestry: Breathtaking Net!" Suddenly with a sheen thin strands of fabric were revealed wrapped tightly around the wasps. The man glanced around his home with a small frown. "It seems you caused quite the ruckus before I arrived, I won't be able to spare you now… Beautiful Climax!" The strands all suddenly began to constrict before in an instant the strands cut through the group with ease. Within a mere instant he had slayed them all.
"Master, you saved us!" Tamaki cried as she hugged her mentor tightly.
"Of course my beloved student, I couldn't let my beautiful Neeko Clan suffer when I have the power to prevent such. However I'm afraid we don't have time to celebrate, I'm my way to aid you I saw the others being carried off. They took them alive so they need them for something, we'll gracefully track them and confront them on why." His piece said he turned and began marching into the distance as the clan cheered. Tamaki, stunned by him, blinked before racing to catch up to him.
He had this aura that made it hard for her to talk to him. But all the same Tamaki felt the need to ask something, hopefully he wouldn't mind…
"Ble" Tamaki did not get to finish as the master gently touched her forehead with such speed she didn't even see him move.
"I told you to never speak that name." Tamaki nervously nodded but felt less nervous when he nodded with a beautiful smile and released her. Walking forward as if nothing had happened.
"Sorry Master, but I can't help but wonder why you didn't save the ones being carried away?" Tamaki asked earnestly.
"I wanted to find their home and ask why they would do such a thing." The Master answered simply.
"But what if they kill them before we arrive?"
"It would be unfortunate but we would avenge them. They would be happy knowing they contributed to the Neeko Clan even in death." The Master answered with ease.
Tamaki was glad she was behind her master as she followed his lead. It meant he didn't see the wide frown she held as they traveled. She had never thought the master was the type to risk the lives of their clan mates…

Suzumebachi's POV (Western River Plains of Irminsul - Terra)
Afternoon
Suzumebachi, Mishiro, and Leifazu watched over the canyon observing the Chakra Anchor. The feeling of latent chakra in the air raised goosebumps on her skin and gave her a jittery feeling in her stomach.
Even without the presence the Anchor held, the mere sight of it was a spectacle of its own. The raw chakra orb seemed to suck chakra out of the very air and seemed to grow and shrink in even measure. The mass of chakra was so powerful streams of water and chunks of stone whirled around the Chakra Anchor.
Yet it was the sight of the golems that caused her the most awe. The massive ten feet stone creatures lumbered around the Anchor seemingly mindlessly. Their roughly human shaped bodies clashed with their bright chakra mass heads. The powerful and unique sight was all contained within a massive red barrier.
"This is the Chakra Anchor I spoke of. My Love had theorized there may be physical link between worlds and I believe this may be that very link. The barrier you seal is my strongest barrier ninjutsu, unless I consider you an ally or you are able to rival my love it will not allow anything other than air inside." Mishiro explained.
"So these are the golems you spoke of." Suzumebachi said curiously. "They do look intimidating but size isn't everything."
"Spoken like a woman who's never bedded someone hun-" Leifazu started but stopped as Mishiro swiped her on the back of her head.
"For attempting to speak so crassly you shall create our opening. Suzumebachi ensures you and the Queen are watching. These Golems may seem unremarkable but they are quite the threat…" Mishiro ordered.
Suzumebachi, having recently been betrayed by the two and being somewhat intimidated by Leifazu, stayed silent. She was more than content to allow the psychotic woman to test it for them.
Leifazu cursed to herself and unsheathed her hatchets and marched forward. As Mishiro had told them the barrier allowed her through without issue. As she walked down the wall of the canyon and stepped on the floor Suzumebachi watched as she cracked her neck.
Suddenly at a speed nearly as fast as Lee had been Leifazu raced into the closest golem. Cackling as she drew close she hacked right for the head of the golem. Suzumebachi merely blinked, in that instant the golem reacted and spiked Leifazu violently into the ground. 'It's fast-' Suzumebachi flinched as she didn't get to finish the thought.
The golem offered no mercy or consideration and kicked Leifazu as soon as he landed, sending him careening through the air. To her credit somehow Leifazu twirled through the air and landed on her feet with a slide. However she had just barely touched the ground before the golem attempted to finish her off. The golem's head glowed brightly before shooting a powerful beam of chakra directly at Leifazu.
Leifazu cackled again, her back bent unnaturally but snapping back in place as she guarded as if to reflect the blast. The beam hit the woman and slowly began to force her back and burn her arms. However Suzumebachi felt her fear of Leifazu grow as the woman earnestly moaned before slashing through the beam. (7)
"This will be fun~!" Leifazu declared as she raced forward to the crowd. The rest of the golems seemed to be done watching. The first was joined by the second and one swung low and the other high. Leifazu merely jumped the first and with a cleave of chakra cut the arm off the other. Leifazu chuckled as she landed past the two catching the detached arm of one. However the amusement was momentarily shattered as the remaining golems all prepared a beam. Perhaps desperate or genuinely insane Leifazu hurled the arm past the group like a spear, leaving her wide open for the barrage of beams.
"Those golems are no joke, they managed to kill Leifazu…" Suzumebachi spoke in awe.
"No need to concern yourself. Leifazu is doubtlessly a fool but not an easily killed one. She substituted with the stone… Prepare yourself, our opening is soon… I need you to either stall or eliminate at least two." Mishiro informed her seriously.
Suzumebachi shifted to a more ready stance knowing by hook or crook the Queen would watch her back. However she questioned what kind of opening Leifazu could create…
"Hellish Bisection!" Leifazu cried with glee as she managed to actually cut a golem vertically in half. Another swung for her head but she managed to jump over it and with impressive strength kick another's blow away. However a third appeared and kicked Leifazu back, before the woman could move two more appeared and began wild swinging of powerful blows. Each blow either smashed Leifazu toward the other or off the ground. One, two, three, four, five bone crushing blows hit the Uzumaki who smashed into the ground bonelessly. Somehow the woman crawled up to her feet laughing and Suzumebachi froze as she saw why.
Leifazu's stamina, speed, and strength had all seemed superhuman but now Suzumebachi knew it was her durability that was her focus. The golems had hit with such speed and strength large patches of skin had been bruised or eroded right off. However instead of leaking a cover of crimson the shiny still liquid blood stayed inside her body. Almost seeming to act as a second layer of skin.
