Anko lugged Kazuma onto her shoulder and gave all the other Konoha Nin a 'let's go then' nod. Good thing all these bastards where focussed on one another, often a trait of rogue Nin... Without another word, she leapt up the side of the canyon, intent on making her way back to and across the border without resting for as long as she could last.
Totora, still bound and imoblized by drug and bonds, smiled slightly in pain at his Sensei, murmuring, "Sor-ray for the tro-bale..." The deaf Hyuga then blacked out, head lolling.
(Buh bye, you crazy S+ Nin peoples. We're off to the land of Fire and Konoha once everyone posts.)

(Nobodies going anywhere! Muhahaha LOL ) Ken didn't wish for the other fighters to leave, seeing as he didn't get to fight them yet. It made his blood boil to see the ladies flee, even though they just met. Biting his finger and forming hand seals, Ken placed his palm on the ground and said, "Summoning Jutsu: Terracotta Army"! Suddenly, from the ground came hundreds of clay soldiers that surrounded all the fighters, they all looked at Ken, ready and still, waiting for his orders. Some were archers and some were horsemen, others were foot soldiers, their spears, sword, and hooves, ready for an attack on anyone and anything.
The soldiers were sure to block the way of any planned retreat from the area, without saying anything five soldiers popped from the ground and flew high into the air above Magasasu and the many shurikens and Kunai hit them and exploded, reducing the five statues. "Sorry, but I'm no push over, also, I don't think Saishi is finished with you people, even though he said he'd wait", Ken smirked and continued to huff his cigarette, "I think its time we took this fight to the next level, ladies and gents". A laugh spilled from his lips as he continued to smirk.
He then summoned forth, one earth clone from the dirt next to him, the two men smirked on, they both took out a scroll from their sides and the real Ken wiped his blood on them. They both summoned forth two different swords in their hands, in the real Ken's hand was a long black sword that had many notches in it, "Shinshi", and the fake ken held a huge bouldering sword in his hand, "Gomou", the two of them stood back to back laughing. The fake began to walk over toward the fleeing Ninja, and the real Ken walked toward Akki.

OOC: Magasasu thinks differently.
Magasasu tapped his staff to the ground once, replacing himself with an undead warrior that took the blows of shruiken with no problem. “Akki, leave the arts of the dead to those who can actually use them properly.” Growling, he slammed his staff to the ground and waved it in the direction of Ken’s summon, undead warriors wrapping their arms around the suits of armor. “I can very well speak my own mind, Ken! I specifically said that we were allies in this battle against Akki, and now their purpose is fulfilled! Such insolence is not to be tolerated within our ranks! They shall take their leave without your interruptions!” If there was one thing that irritated Magasasu, it was the over confident warriors who assumed things pointlessly amidst a battle.
‘Just like those fools in the Stone. There is a reason I left…’ With that, he stabbed another scroll, blood pouring out onto the floor until another hound pulled itself from the pool of blood. It was larger than the last, fangs protruding from his lip, the one eye that was left glowing red with pure rage and bloodlust. In an instant, it shimmered and released a flurry of attacks that would have been too fast for any one lacking the Sharingan to see, its pack mate joining him. “Aliana, I suggest you and your team-mates take your leave as soon as possible. In fact, I may have to take mine soon. Kenji was expecting me for… well, never mind. Ichininshou sends his greetings.”
Aliana, not bothering to wonder how the Death Priest of the Stone knew Ichininshou or anything relative of such, tossed Totora over her shoulder and leaped after Anko. Inside, the Datenshi was secretly glad she had not been forced to use her bloodline. She would have become more of a burden than she would a help, more than likely. Shishigami’s lust to see Akki’s blood spilled had to be put off for now, for they had to return to Konoha at once. Taking one kunai and slashing Totora’s bindings (so as to not leave him so uncomfortable) she decided to see to her student’s wounds first before receiving her scolding, which was probably well deserved. The reassuring thing was that she knew that Totora was safe and with her rather than in the hands of some insane Ikibuke who was nothing more to her than an insult to Shishigami.
Irritating the Priest of Death was something that most did not want to do. The gray eyes of Saishi were narrowed at Akki, but it was obvious that the look of strong distaste was directed at his fellow assassin. “Kenji will hear of such insolence. I strongly suggest you listen to your orders closer than I have seen you do so far.”
OOC: Sorry for the wait. ^^'

Minako ran over to her teammate, her sensei, and Aliana who was Totora's sensei. She hurried to them so that they could get out of this area faster. Her battle with the Stone Chuunin had cost her little chakra by her standards, but it had been a tiring travel to get here in the first place. Minako was thankful to hear Anko-sensei to tell them to pull out.
Once she made her way to her teammates, she notice the other member who accompanied Magasasu summoned a group of earthen warriors, stating he wouldn't let them escape so easily. Minako sighed, not wanting to fight anymore, but she would if she had to. "I thought these guys were on our side...." Minako complained quietly.
Her worries of a doublecross were settled when Magasasu tapped his staff on the ground and caused undead arms to wrap their arms around Ken's summon. Minako cringed a bit at the smell of undead corpses, it wasn't one of the things Minako enjoyed smelling. She sighed in relief as Magasasu strictly stated that they were not here to fight them. However, Minako didn't like having those warriors around, if they turned around Ken and Magasasu could change their mind about attacking them and lead the stone army against them.
Since Minako knew she probably had more chakra left than Anko or Kazuma, she figured she'd get rid of them herself. "Technique Neutralize!" Minako called out, the stone warriors Ken summoned instantly crumbled to rocks as the technique took it's effect. Seconds later it took effect on her as well. Even though Minako's chakra control was impressive, it still wore her out.
She put her hand to her head to try to ease the pain of her throbbing head, she muttered a silent curse under her breath as she recovered herself. Her legs wobbled a bit from being worn out, but she could go on for a bit longer, as long as they got some rest along the way. She turned to her sensei, "Can we go now sensei?" She asked.

Ken was most ticked off of all, he was so furious he didn't care whom he struck with his next technique. "You baka! Kenji is sending us on missions to study konoha ninja that may be related to Kaji Sojiro, why let his former students escape", Ken was so furious that he just let out something huge, "If you think that I will be punished by Kenji, then your dead wrong. Your the one disobeying his direct orders. If we were supposed to help konoha ninja then wouldn't you think we would be allied with them?" He looked at Saishi then at Minako and the Demon boy, "I know that they are the Sojiro's students because unlike you, I'm not obsessed with collecting bones and freeing undead! I researched everything I could about that Sojiro long before I even became a member of the Deadly Stone", Ken's voice echoed with disgust and hate, before he was a Assassin for Stone, he was a sword hunter and so he studied the Twenty-One legendary blades as well as their users, Kaji Sojiro was one he had studied long ago, and when Kenji was looking for Information on him and his bloodline, Ken spoke up.
"I wont be letting any of them out of here alive", Ken's clone wielded his Gomou with great prestige, lifting it high into the air and bringing it down with a bang, creating a small earthquake that broke the Earth underneath the Konoha ninja in an attempt separating them from each other. Afterward the earth came up creating a wall of earth to completely box them off from each other. "You are not leaving, because not only will Kenji want to hear what you know, but I will too", Ken smirked his real form keeping a vigilant eye on Magasasu, encase he attempted to aid the enemy once again.

Magasasu whirled around, eyes taking on a tint of red. “Yes, Kenji did inform us to study Konoha Nin related to the Sojiro, but I am abiding by a code or honor that not even Kenji would break! When two face a common enemy, they become allies in the sense of the word for the remainder of the battle! You have disobeyed a direct order from the second-hand to Kenji! You, a new addition! You have insulted one of higher rank than you, disobeyed my orders, broken a code of honor, and that alone is enough to have you skinned! If you do not take back your words and actions this instant, I will see to it that you are killed myself!” Magasasu was beyond irritated- he was angry. “I know more about that damned Sojiro than you could ever dream of, because I can communicate with his kin! And if you knew anything about the Bone and Blood arts, you would know that it is not an obsession, it is life! Without these arts, I would die from extreme withdrawal! Hold your tongue about things you have no business in!” Right now, the Death Priest was very tempted to put all of his remaining chakra into ripping the insolent bastard’s soul out, which he would be very capable of if he was willing to use up all of his chakra and possibly become unconscious for the remainder of the day, being stiff and achy for the rest of the week.
Indeed, when he informed Kenji of this boy’s insolence and refusal to obey and respect his better, he might request to simply skin Ken himself. Ah, the bloodlust that had not stirred in quite sometime was awakened and directed at his ally… How strange. “Such insolence from a new initiate…” He murmured, quieting his anger and forcing his bloodlust down. “It is an ancient code, Ken. One that you might not know. It follows many strict rules, ones that apply to me if I want to maintain my honor. Datenshi are honor bound to follow this code as well, by their gods. If you would just follow it like an honorable man…” He felt Saishi’s mind feel a chance to attempt and overcome him, but only managed to force him to grip his staff tighter before she was forced down once again, and with that he realized Ken’s slip.
Aliana glanced at Magasasu’s comrade who had invoked his anger, a venomous glare shot in his direction until she heard his words about Kaji. They were after Kaji, for whatever reason. Now there was another reason to return to Konoha. The Jounin was very important to Konoha, she knew, one of the most elite in the way of the sword, and one of the Sojiro that had ruled the Leaf Village so long ago. Along with that was her strong admiration of him… But that had nothing to do with the situation at hand. Kaji had to be warned. And now, it was as if she could feel Shishigami’s breath on her neck at that very moment, urging her to summon his power that she had not unleashed in some years… Her mind fought against it, refusing to quench her thirst this time- she had to protect Totora. She had to make sure Anko and Minako were not left alone. She had to make sure Kaji got her message. So many things she had to do. ‘Shishigami help us. I can’t use the Koumajutsu, but any help would be appreciated.’ With a few hand signs, the Datenshi punched through the earthen wall and rejoined her team-mates. “Anko, we need to get out. Now. They are after Kaji, and if he doesn’t realize it, one day he could be on a lazy stroll and then…” Shaking her head, the Jounin shifted Totora’s weight on her shoulder slightly. Right now, her main priority was returning Totora to Konoha. And then she would worry about whatever happened next.

Anko continued to lead by example, breaking into a run as soon as she cleared the canyon walls in the wake of Minako's impressive use of the technique nuetralize. Very good in fact. She made sure to keep a good grip on Kazuma's unconsious body, looking back once to give a 'what's keeping yah? I'M fleeing.' glance to her fellow leaf Nin.
(To the Konoha Gates, my fellow RPers? Anko is outa here!)

OOC: Indeed. Aliana shall follow! Short post here, lack of things to say.
Aliana gave one glance to Magasasu, muttering the phrase, "Until next we meet." and followed her fellow Jounin in hauling ass out of the Canyon and returning to Konoha gate. Totora wasn't a burden on her speed, often having to remind herself to keep a tight grip so that she knew he was there. Words could not express how much she wanted to be in her quarters at Konoha, lying in bed with the covers wrapped tightly around her in a deep slumber. It wouldn't have helped any if she stayed anyways. The Datenshi Jounin hadn't slept for more than a few minutes since Totora's disappearance, nightmares riddling her dreams with confusion and worry until she forced herself to assist in anyway she could, despite the Hokage's firm orders.
And she wasn't looking forward to sleep when she got back either, with so many things to take care of before hand... Ah, the life of a Jounin. How lovely. Why hadn't she retired like Chiyuu had told her so many times? 'But think of all the interesting things that have happened!... If you really want to call them interesting.'

Minako quickly followed after Anko, Aliana, Totora and Kazuma. Minako's stomach churned excitedly. I can't believe it! I survived my first chuunin mission! And I successfully used technique neutralize! Minako couldn't wait to get home and tell her friends, she could show Lee-san the new jutsu she used to show that she had gotten stronger. Minako smiled happily, But ramen first...

(Man, everybody completely ignored my attack with my Gomou sword. Why?)
Ken's eyes could only belittle the true anger brewing inside him, this freak of nature continued on and on about being undead and continued to suggest he could actually kill Ken, hah! Theres no way Magasasu could be strong enough to beat Ken, for he had an Ace up his sleeve encase Magasasu or anyone for that matter, would even dare think they could kill him. "Do as you please Saishi, I'm out of here", with that Ken's clone disappeared followed by his Terracotta soldiers, a smirk left his face as he continued to walk. Once he was a little while away he turned and lifted his middle finger to show his distaste for Saishi, "Later Magasasu, I'm sure if your 'so strong' you can handle fighting alone, can't you?", he continued his walk away until he used his body flicker to exit the area.

OOC: ARGH. There is always nothing to say. D:
Magasasu shook his head. "And I suppose you are strong enough to stand up to Kenji when you have repeatedly insulted not only me, but in the process, him as well? No one is that strong. Not me. Not you." 'I gave him a chance. He might've been a good assassin... Perhaps Kenji will take pity and give him a second chance.' He thanked whatever had possessed him to take those self control classes so that he did send a horde of undead demons to rip his heart from him.
Lucky for Magasasu, it didn't matter how many times his host died, his spirit would always live. 'Cheers for a pact with a reaper. The price? My ability to die.' Whether that was a curse or a blessing, the Death Priest still hadn't decided, but nonetheless... His eyes had not left Akki, and he found himself facing the Ikibuke alone. Now things could get interesting.

The Shishou just watched as everyone left. His eyes seemed uncaring as the Kohona ninja took Totora. Like stated before he could easily find him. That or he could just take back the children he left in Kohona. They were Hyuuga just as he was after all.
His pale eyes watched as Magasasu's fellow assassin left. Akki himself beginning to get bored of this. His attention going to where the young stone chuunin once was. The guy now gone after leaving. The man giving out a yawn. Now that it was just him and Magasasu this really was going to be boring.
Seems like it's just you and me Magasasu, Akki said with a small chuckle as he began scratching the top of his head in a carefree manner. But now that everyone is gone why don't we just leave too, I see no fun in fighting you at the moment besides I have business to attend too, Akki said to him looking down at the young child Magasasu's spirit was in. Part of him knowing he would refuse, but might as well ask see if you could leave without trouble.
(Sorry this was the best I could do at the moment)

OOC: A very short, rather crappy exiting post! AWAY!
Magasasu glanced at Akki and cocked his head slightly. "Leave? Well now..." And then the urge to collect the Bones and Blood of the Kaguya kicked in and Saishi's head bobbed. "Indeed, this would be boring..." With an ironic smile and wave, Magasasu turned and walked towards the canyon's exit, whistling.
'Err... Walking just MIGHT take awhile.' Oh... Right. Magasasu shook his head and flashed through a couple of hand-symbols before his image shimmered then disappeared all together, the hounds he left behind disappearing in a poof of smoke. 'I just hope they didn't poison him... And Shijin didn't suck all of his blood... And they didn't crush all of his bones...'
Oh, now he really had to hurry.

The Shishou gave a small chuckle. Atcually somewhat surprised that Magasasu agree with him. He watched as the Stone Assassin walked off toward the canyon exit. The Ikibuke closing his eyes feeling just where the kohona ninja were with his new kin. Wow they're already at Kohona he thought to himself then feeling to where his children were at. His eyes opening as he began to feel an inch the Omega was calling for him.
Well let's go Aisu there Omega wishes to see us, he said to his spirit partner. Part og him wondering as to how Matsu was doing back in kohona. He knew there was nothing to worry about with him there after all Matsu was a powerful spirit despite him origanating from an animal. However that still didn't change his curiousity. Ah well I'll find out another time, he spoke to himself softly flickering out of the canyon.
