The mist began to fade, clearing the area and leaving it lucid by the light of the lava. Simply put, they could see their surroundings now; Kenji stood near Horui, with a deep cut across his shoulder, and a Nagare looked as Takeshi flew down and landed on his shoulder. Horui was on the ground, staring at his arms as if they weren't his. He remembered what Kenji said when they first met the rest of the squad; he was a Genjutsu specialist.
Horui, you're in some sort of Genjutsu. Use a Kai! Horui struggled but finally managed to work his way out of the jutsu. Looking now at his once-burning arms, they were normal, completely unaffected. The trauma still shook his mind and he still felt a few phantom pains, but he stood now, ready to fight Kenji as well. Nagare nodded at him, thinking
I'm going to de-summon Takeshi; you summon Ondan, he can help with the next round. Horui nodded, pulling the scroll from his back and summoning the large red panda.
Nagare made a bird hand seal, and Takeshi disappeared from his shoulder. Horui, still ringing in the ears from the Genjutsu, stayed back, waiting to regain his bearings. Scanning the area, he began to figure out tactics for the next few minutes...Kenji was a clear 10 meters or so away, a decent enough distance to still be hit by a Tachiba knife. Ondan was nearby, both of his katana burning red, and Nagare stood in the same position as before, with an expression that read contemplating, as well. Finally, they turned to each other, with stressed glances.
Okay, Nagare, throw a Tachiba at Kenji, aimed for the same shoulder that sustained a cut. That should restrict his arm movement due to the overall pain. Tell Ondan to use his katana to try a horizontal slash across Kenji's torso as a follow up.Nagare nodded, running forward with a Tachiba in hand. He stopped next to Ondan, whispering,
"Go forward and slash his torso with a horizontal strike." The raccoon-like biped grinned his usual toothy grin, and ran forward, one of his katana in hand, and once he reached Kenji's blue-haired figure, he slashed across the torso. Nagare, as soon as Ondan began sprinting, threw the Tachiba, aimed at the boy's injured shoulder.

This allows a ninja to escape from illusions, provided he or she has figured out that a Genjutsu is active. This is an E-ranked technique, but has variable chakra costs. The user must pay 15 more chakra for every rank the Genjutsu is above their own rank.
