Luko held his sword over his shoulder. He was heading back to the forest. He'd been out gone for a few days after traveling to the Hidden Rain for a small talk with their Kage concerning some of his ninjas. Luko closed his eyes as he walked. So his ninja hadn't come to the Rogue Forest he says, yet...their headbands were recovered by my rogues... What the hell is going on? Was this a set up to cause conflict? Luko opened his eyes as he heard motion. He stopped and dropped his sword. Someone was coming, no, several were coming. Rain Ninja, and too many for him to handle on his own. Unsheathing his sword and release his chakara as three ninja came from the trees. Where was the others? As the three came at him with kunai he blocked them with his sword and cut them down. "Decoys..." Luko stopped as two more came from the ground. One grabbed him by the neck and another by the arm causing him to drop his sword. "Don't get to cocky," Luko said as he turned and faced the guy who was holding him. "Ice Summoning: Saber," he said as he pushed his hand against the guys chest knocking both of them away as Saber, the white Siberian Tiger stood between them in a cloud of smoke. Luko picked up his sword and grabbed the tiger by the fur. "There coming," he said.

Sabin walked with a small grin on his face. He was looking for something to strike his interest when he saw a bunch of smoke. "Huh, what's going on." He ran over to get a better look. Someone was fighting. As the smoke cleared he saw white hair. "Luko! Hang on," he called as he jumped down off the railing and down towards the Rogue Leader and rain ninja. "Hey how about you guys take on me for a while," Sabin said as he pulled out a kunai. "I don't find it fair for someone to be teamed up on like that, so I'm going to teach you a lesson you'll never forget," he said as he ran at them. He hit teh first ninja with the kunai driving it into his ribs and then backed away while kicking another. "That all you guys got?"

Kenjiro wandered through the forest.His hawk had been circling a large area for some time now and he was interested in what it was.As he approached it,he saw a battle going on with out numbered odds."Time for a bit of fun,"he said.He jumped into the middle of it and was instantly attacked.He avoided two punches and kneed the attacker in the gut before tossing them aside quickly and stabbing another enemy with a kunai.

Luko looked around as he saw Sabin. "Thank you," he said to the Death Ninja. He was grateful for his assistance. He then looked around to see Kenjiro. "Thanks," he said as he flipped over the side of Saber and pulled his sword out. "Snow Rush," Luko said as he cut down two ninja and their bodies froze over. "Guys these are Rain Ninja, they've attacked my rogues before and their strong so be careful.

"Thanks for the advice!"Kenjiro called to him,blocking off a sword but getting a kick to the gut."Gha!"Kenjiro whispered,surprised by the strength of the blow.He recovered though and kicked the one that punched him in the side of the head,knocking him off balance then finished him with a slash to his throat.He quickly turned and threw the kunai before drawing his sword."Crescent Moon Dance!"he called out,rushing forward and splitting into three but went through several enemies and returned as one.

Sabin looked at Luko. "Why are they attacking your rogues," he asked as he dodged a punch. "Don't we have treaty with the Rain Village?" He asked and then doubled over as a second punch met his gut. They were too out numbered to win. "Guys this isn't looking good."

Luko nodded at Sabin's comment. "You're right," he said. But they couldn't just withdraw. "We've got to think of something." Luko looked around until he found a good spot. "Sabin, Kenjiro, head for the trees," he said as he climbed onto Saber. "Let's go boy," he said as the tiger cut through the surrounding ninja; freezing everything that his paws touched.

Kenjiro nodded.He ha to throw several ninjas off him and knock more aside and dashed forward into the forest.He was jumping out of the way of the frozen branches and trees."Where are we going?"he asked Luko.

Sabin pushed through the ninja and hurried after Kenjiro and Luko. Why where they going to the forest. What could possibly be there that they needed? Sabin didn't argue thoough, he was too busy trying to get away. "Luko i hope you've got a plan!"
