Kenjiro saw Micah in major trouble and threw a kunai to block Zeo's.This isn't good!he thought in a panic.He blocked a few more akatsuki attacks but felt his knee buckle in pain.He got up and punched away more enemies but fell to a knee once again.

Kira looked around.All around her,the shinobi were falling,lives being loss,friends dieing.There's....no way.....we can win now,she thought.She did a giant sweep with her staff,clearing area around her."Retreat!"she called out."All villages,retreat,now!"she shouted,though it hurt her to do so,not just because she had taken some hits to the chest but because they had lost this war.She saw the ninja stare at her before falling back.Once there was enough room between them and the akatsuki,she performed handsign after handsign."Fire Style:Grand Ifrit Fire Wall!"she shouted,breathing out a wave of fire toward the ground.It shot up suddenly,blocking the akatsuki from the shinobi village ninjas.

(Last Post for Rumi)

Rumiko could have sworn Tenkuu was in charge of calling a retreat when Kira shouted the order of withdrawal. Looking around for the Stealth Kage he saw she was down. Going over to the ninja who needed help he lifted them up and started back for the Magma Village. They had lost the war, his pride was beyond broke.

(Kymir's Last Post)

Kymir heard the second call of retreat. But this time, it was serious. They were actually retreating. Kymir looked around for any Death Ninja and spotted Satomi. Running towards Satomi he lifted him up and started pulling him away, but it was trying to carry dead weight. Shifting into his wolf form he picked Satomi up and threw him on his back and then he grabbed Satomi's scythe in his jaws and started to retreat. As he passed Tyson he nudged his friend. "Come on," he said. He knew Tyson had no idea who he was, but maybe his appearnce was enough to scare him away.

Itachi appeared next to Deidara. "They're retreating, for real this time," he said. He then looked at the wall Kira had former to keep the Akatsuki from passing. "What do you want me to do," he asked. "I can tear it down with the Mangekyo." He said. "It'll take two seconds."

Deidara looked at Itachi. "Let those cowards run," he said. "Let all Akatsuki enjoy this victory, for we are on once again on the road to power," he said looking at his second in command. "It's not often we get a chance like this." He then looked at Shen. "And you, I hope to face you in battle once more," Deidara said.

Bell picked up Tenkuu when she heard Kira give the final order of retreat. Taking her Kage back to the Village she hoped that Kira's wall would hold against the Akatsuki. The war was finally over. Bell sighed with both relief and grief. There would be much sorrow after this.

Kenjiro looked at Kira as she called the retreat.He cursed in his mind,feeling his heart fall as they pulled back.He ran to the Stealth ninja,lifting them on his shoulders,one on each shoulder,and dashed off to the village.This was beyond devastating.This was like a tragedy story made real,and it hurt.He helped the two into the hospital before leaning against the wall,watching the medics run by,helping everyone."We've lost."

Kira made sure all the ninja had left before setting the fire away.As the wisps of the flames went away and the rains began flooding the field,she looked at the akatsuki."This is not over,"she told them,mainly directing it to Deidara,before turning and heading toward her village,checking around the entire village for all the ninja that were wounded.

(Shen's last post)

Shen slid to a stop as he heard another retreat being called. He looked back in shock at Kira. It was a real retreat this time. The shinobi had lost the war? Shen's heart sunk and he turned to Deidara. He'd almost lost it as Deidara said he hoped they'd fight again. Before turning to retreat, Shen cast Deidara a murderous glare and a low growl and ran back to the ranks, making it just before Kira sent up her fire wall.

Luko knocked an Akatsuki back as Kira told them to withdraw. Picking up an unconsious rogue that he had been protecting he went back to where the others were retreating. Luko never thought he'd see this day come and it was overly disappointing.
