Konoha - Team 2[/center][/b]

Moving into position, Hayate kept an eye out on the bandits. There were quite a few of them in the camp. He kept track of their positions and their lines of sight between each other, making sure that when he attacked, he would know the right targets. Looking back at his new temporary teammates, Hayate hoped that they would work cohesively with one another. He was used to working with Kiyomi and Lee-san, and they worked very well as a team. Hayate readied himself, it would soon be time.

At Kensuke's command, Hayate's clones used the double suicide decapitation technique to quickly take out two guards before disappearing back underground. Leaping from his perch, Hayate landed close to Kensuke. He had originally anticipated that the team would stick close and systematically clear out the bandits, but as he watched that didn't seem to be the case. Operating on the fly, Hayate quickly moved towards a nearby bandit. He had chosen one that was not in sight of the others and, before the man had a chance to react, Hayate had clamped one hand over his mouth and used the other to ram a kunai through the back of the man's skull. Dropping the man, Hayate targeted another bandit not far away. Pulling out two kunai, he whipped them towards the man, one hitting him in the back and the other connecting right through the man's throat. 

As far as Hayate was aware, he had not yet been seen. Moving swiftly back towards the tree, Hayate fell into position beside Kensuke. Looking around he could see that his two teammates had managed to take out a few of the other bandits. Unfortunately, it appeared as if there wasn't a formation that they were following. Hayate stayed close to Kensuke for the moment, his staff drawn in one hand, a kunai in the other. He wasn't foolish enough to run out and try to take down as many as he could, instead Hayate waited to see how the bandits would react, so that he could hopefully formulate a better plan of attack.
