Hearing her sensei's orders, Chou got ready to strike and grabbed her medium scroll, only to notice Rai had already begun taking action and provided distraction while Haruhi took the distraction and managed to completely distract the bandits together using her lightning cable jutsu and hitting them from up close. Seeing this as her chance to strike, Chou quickly ran up a tree next to her and jumped, doing a few seals which made the scroll open in a circle above the bandits [b]"Haruhi, Rai, get out of the way."[/b] Chou suddenly said, and a moment later the bandits and the small area around them were hit with plenty of kunai, shurikens and senbons.

Suddenly Chou came down, between the last of the tools that came down at the bandits, and wielded her Kusarigama, striking a bandit from above. Looking around, she managed to see that most of them were taken out from her jutsu, with a couple bleeding but still trying to move. She approached one and sliced his neck with the blade of the Kusarigama and then procceeded to throw the blade and hit the last bandit in the chest, watching him fall down to the ground lifeless. She proceeded to go and take her blade out, when she felt her leg being grabbed by a bandit who was apparently still alive. She kicked his hand and pointed to Rai at the spot, motioning to him to finish him off. She spotted some more movement among the bodies, and noticed that a bandit was trying to crawl away, so she looked at Haruhi and then pointed at the second bandit. She needed to try and find a proper way to be able and finish more shinobi with her jutsu, and as she thought that she went and took out her Kusarigama from the dead bandit.

Hearing Shiro's own plan, Kuni shrugged her shoulders. It sounded like a good idea, if they weren't in such a place. She had a strange feeling that if they take even one misstep, they could easily not find each other later, but she also understood his point. She really wanted to find Eiji, but she didn't want to lose another teammember, not so soon after she got one. 

Watching him run off, She kneeled down and did the seals for a Rock Clone before pressing her hand against the ground, making it appear below ground and head in Shiro's direction, intending to ensure his safety. Standing back up, Kuni begun heading in the opposite direction from Shiro, looking around and trying to see anything unusual. She tried and think what kind of test would Eiji be giving them, and how would it be related to controlling chakra better.
