Chapter 65: Chapter 64
Luckily, Ryoko was never known for her patience.
The silver haired leaf gennin rushed forward with a battle cry, a length of ninja wire tied around the center ring of her weapon as she swung it around like a massive guilliotine at the three Iwa gennin that scrambled to get out of reach.

Inside of his self made dust bowl Naruto grinned as he formed set of seals.

Kyofu cursed, abandoning her hand-seals for her fire technique to block one of the gennin's approaching kicks lashing out with her own, the gennin dodged before his friend came around to strike at her exposed side with a kunai.
She contorted her body, wincing as the muscles in her back made their protest sharply known before reaching around and latching onto the boys wrist, twisting harshly before yanking him forward and all but shoving him into his friend. She formed her handseals, a Gokakyuu exploding out of her lips that was immediately quelled by the kunoichi's water technique coming between them.
Kyofu cursed, tossing shuriken even as she was forced to dodge and weave away from the other two that were now recovered and attacking.
She leapt back, another fireball making them scatter and giving her some breathing room.
She landed and was forced to fall flat onto her back as an earth spike rose up to gore her on its surface, the Iwa gennin were on her already. She pulled out a fist full of explosive tags, throwing them up in the air, letting them fall like rain before she made them burn with a flick of chakra..
The concussive force battered her body and knocked the wind out of her. It hurt, her ears were ringing.
But heat rises.
The brush of uncomfortable fire against her flesh was gone in the barest instant before she was already pulling herself off the floor and onto her feet, rushing away from where she'd fallen.
She landed and cursed as the kunoichi in the team was already attacking her, not giving her a moment to breathe! She took her stance, blinking the blur from her eyes and trying to will the ringing from her ears as she braced herself.
The moved to lunge...
Then she was neck deep in the ground.
"Hey! Wh-what the hell is this!"
It was a basic earth jutsu. Kyofu blinked, confused and startled, her confusion was partially diffused though when a tuft of blond hair and two blue eyes rose up from the barren dirt at their feet. Turning and looking before it began drifting closer towards Ryoko's fight, sinking fully into the ground a moment later.
Kyofu didn't waste another second, rushing forward and delivering a full, unobstructed kick at the girls face that might have broken something in the process of knocking her unconscious.
She smirked at the last two boys. Three against one was pushing her to use her jutsu to level the playing field. Her reserves were the weakest of the team, even if she was the oldest. Two against one she could manage and hold back her jutsu repertoire for later.
She tossed a glance at the Kaguya boy who barely even flinched as an explosive tag went off point blank infront of him, looking decidedly bored as the smoke cleared.
It seemed as though they might need it...

If Kisame could see her expression clearly, or hear her, he would have found something of a kindred spirit in his quasi-faux-month long student.
She was laughing like the crazed resident of a psych ward.
The weapon was swung up and around, over her head and abreast, the massive wind shuriken forming a dervish of razor sharp blades that battered aside their kunai and projectile weapons with howling gusts and kept them far far away as they tried to gain enough distance to not be threatened by the thing.
It was only when she felt sweat trickle down her temple that she realized just how much chakra she'd been eating up.
Instantly, she pulled the weapon back, beginning to feel the edges of weariness eating at her as the adrenalin began to taper off.
The other genin pounced seeing her relentless assault finally abate.
If it wasn't for the fact that they'd wasted most, if not all their kunai, shuriken and a few explosive tags trying to get to her beforehand, she might have been worried over having been drawn into a trap.
She gripped one end of her weapon, the coating of wind chakra over it now was gossamer thin, not enough to drain her but enough to give the weapon enough of an extra bite to make it worth more than its awkward unwieldy nature.
The first boy threw shuriken that she batted aside with a swing of the four blades infront of her, the second gennin was a split second after his friend, throwing his weapons in such a way to tangle her own with ninja wire..
Several were sliced right off, some did take hold in parts of the weapon she wasn't focusing her energies on though.
The third landed behind her, weapons drawn to drive them into her shoulders.
She let go, stepped back, into the swing so it was his forearms that struck her collarbones rather than his blades. She focused chakra into the back of her head and threw herself back.
Her smile was vicious at the feel of warm blood at the back of her head and the satisfying crunch of bone and cartilage.
