One of his shadow clones was to guard the corner of the room that the original had just claimed with a detonate-on-command explosive tag. The original ran, with his hawk on his shoulder, towards the dove and Kitsune to have a two versus two brawl, each ninja having their own companion. Meanwhile, the other three charged towards different corners with their swords in their air deflecting attacks and cutting through any lost souls that came through their path. It wasn't easy with all the spirit balls coming at them, and the original knew that it would take quite a while for them to get into position with all those lost souls in the way. That meant that he had to keep Kitsune and his dove occupied, even though they were probably much stronger than Kashizudoto and his hawk.
His hawk leaped off of his shoulders, spread its wings, and got into the air, getting ready for this combat situation while he brandished his flaming blade. He slashed at the dove, who dodged it; even with its immense size, it was still much faster than him.
"
Lemme help you!" the clone defending the corner that he had already claimed yelled, soon unleashing a fireball in the form of a Chinese Dragon Head towards the dove, who responded in kind by creating a blade of wind out of its beak, stabbing into the fireball with force. Yet this was his opportunity. The original jumped forwards while the dove was distracted fighting off the fireball that the shadow clone had sent, slicing through its chest with his flaming sword. This catapulted the dove into the ground along with its owner with a large burn across it; however, they'd recover soon.
By this time, the shadow clones were all in their positions, having pasted the explosive tags onto their corner. They knew their fate; they wouldn't have enough time to disperse. The priority was to get the original and his hawk out of here. He ran out and climbed up the trapdoor with his hawk now perched on his shoulder once more. Observing that Kitsune and his dove were getting back up from the blow, ready to fly once more, the hawk released a small ball of fuuton chakra towards them from its beak that soon expanded to nearly the size of the entire room, devouring them in wind. As he finished climbing out the trapdoor, exhausted and hungry, he performed the final step.
"
Tori!" he cried as he formed the bird seal, now having reached exhaustion near the point of fainting. As the base suddenly began the process of capsizing behind him in four giant explosions, he uttered with short breath, "
Hawky, fly me outta here..." With that, the hawk grabbed him with its talons and soared into the skies. From up there, he could not see Yamato; the boy assumed that he was probably at the castle. What he could see from afar was Kitsune and his dove barely flying out of the ordeal, with cuts, burns, and bruises to show for it. From this distance, Kashizudoto and his hawk were too far for Kitsune and his injured dove to pursue; instead, the dove poofed away and Kitsune stood on the ground of the fallen base cursing away. Certainly this would be good news for Yamato; the sacrifices of his comrades had not been in vain.
"
Where is Yamato?" Buma questioned him once he returned from the mission with the same stern voice he had used when questioning Yamato about his dead comrades.
"
I thought he had returned to the castle," the boy stuttered in horror, "
You don't mean to say he..." The next day, as Buma and Kashizudoto worked to clear out the nearby lost souls haunting the manor, Yamato was nowhere to be found. One could only assume that he had perished on his way back to the castle, like his comrades before him.
