[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/3yEskHH.png[/img] [h1][color=red][u]Kaba Joukaku[/u][/color][/h1][/center] [color=red]"[i]Huh[/i]?"[/color] Kaba didn't even notice Jaakuna approach the area. Suddenly his clone was dispatched by its own attack. Before he could suffer a similar fate, Kaba quickly would move to defend himself. The second kunai aimed towards his refuge seemed to suddenly stop in mid-air. It was caught within a barrier, and the sound of a muffled [i]pop[/i] soon followed due to the detonation of the explosive tag attached to the kunai. The barrier dissipated and the slightly now charred kunai fell harmlessly into the water below. Kaba sighed as he expected an ally to appear before another enemy. He quickly figured his chances of defeating two foes while not exactly being at full strength would be nearly impossible. Kaba hopped upon a branch, revealing himself to the two assailants while standing in a defensive pose. He took a close look at Sebun and noted the amount of weapons that were in formation, suspended behind him. The scene was intimidating, sure. But the young shinobi would not show an ounce of fear to the strange foes. Quickly, his attention was turned to Jaakuna. As his studies began to flood his mind, Kaba's defenses were lowered and he froze in place, suddenly realizing he was standing before a very man who he learned of years ago due to his importance to the village's history as a shinobi. [color=red]"You...! Are you not supposed to be dead?"[/color] Kaba became defensive once again as he began to theorize exactly what was happening at the moment. He knew of forbidden techniques that could reanimate the dead, but he couldn't be sure if this was the result of such a technique. He was dumbfounded. One moment he was seemingly on his way to attaining the title of Jounin, and the next his village was under attack by mysterious powerful shinobi. And [i]now[/i] a former Leaf Village Sannin was seemingly back alive and assisting in an attack against a village he once protected. Kaba was filled with confusing emotions, and attempted to calm himself before making another move. His chances of victory in this current situation were slim, so he decided to try and buy time in hope of possible reinforcements coming to his aid. If he had to, he would defend himself to the best of his ability from the enemies. [color=red]"I don't quite understand what is happening at the moment, but I am certain the Hokage would want to speak with both of you."[/color] Kaba turned back to Sebun, not fully taking his attention off of Jaakuna. [color=red]"I don't expect you to bite, but judging from the number you and your buddies did to the village and the forest, you wouldn't hesitate to try and skewer me with one of your weapons there..."[/color] Kaba gestured towards the bevy of arms aimed towards his location. [color=red]"You all are making quite the mistake, don't think we will just let you walk away from this without answering for your crimes. Why are you doing this? What is your purpose here?!"[color] Kaba's tone slightly shifted to one of anger as he awaited a response while still standing ready to defend himself at any moment.
