Spoiler:

Damnit a bomb, and on the front lines of all places, it wasn't the fact that the ninja would die that would concern him no, it was the fact that without the ninja that would die on the front lines there would be a huge dent in Kirigakure's defenses and Tee couldn't have Kiri getting taken over by retards who were trying to imitate the Iwagakure explosion release methods. In fact according to the Intel it was a good thing that they weren't up against anybody of that magnitude but still they had to deal with a man capable of killing the entire front line of defense and he would most likely prove to be dangerous. The Intel department had proven helpful as him and his squadmate whom he had been on a mission with prior to this had gotten the Intel that the message to blow up the bombs would be handed out via a black messenger crow.

It would be near impossible to find a crow amidst the fighting and the mist the resonated throughout the area. Tee rushed being sure to stay way clear of the battlefield in the city, the few places where fighting was not taking place on the rooftops was where Taiga was traveling. He had no problem killing people and taking the life of another but right now time was of the essence and he could not afford to have that issue right now.

He was laying on one of the roof tops when he received word from a messenger again. The messenger stated that they had an urgent mission and needed to stop someone from destroying the front lines completely. All they had info on was that there would be a black messenger crow delivering the orders. Many shinobi died to get this intel and he could not afford to waste his efforts. He also received info that he may need to help a genin. He was a bit surprised and noticed it was that kid from that other time. The disrespectful one who he helped on the bridge.

As he sat up he went to pick up the sword at his side. It had not been long since this war began, and he really wished there was more to life than an endless war. Ren began walking along the roof tops looking out for the crow as well as trying to find Tee. He was looking around as there were not many birds around, but he did notice something strange. There was something suspicious about the surroundings as he began to realise that the battlefield was being tampered with.This was his first time out in the front lines which meant more experience as he finally caught up to Tee. He slowed down his pace slightly as he appeared next to Tee. "Hi, Tee did you find anything yet?" as he was running having met him before, he felt a second introduction would be a waste of time. He then looked down before looking to the side at Tee while sticking with him. "Watch my back I am going to scout ahead" as he increased his pace not leaving Tee behind but leaving a gap of about fifty meters between them. Things were going to only get tougher from here on out.

What a coincidence that he would encounter Yuzu yet again for another mission. It seemed like he was pretty much set up with this kid and they were like destined to do missions together or something. The first mission they had done together hadn't been bad as he kid had stayed out of his ways as things should have been done. Hopefully the same result would occur once more during this mission to stop the bomb threat that had happened when they had helped out the builders on the bridge, mostly for the sake of the ryo and experience that it would yield Tee. That was the main reason aside from the fact that he could fulfill his yearn to kill that he took on missions in the first place. Killing, it just made his blood boil, especially when by his own blade as it penetrates through the targets skin slicing through tendons and tissue to cause agony for those who were subjugated to the fury of his blade. Upon meeting up with Yuzu he performer a simple introduction asking if he had found anything yet. "Does it look like I found anything" he would reply rudely purposely. Then he told him to watch his back and that he was going to go scout ahead "Yea whatever" he would mumble under his breath.

Yuzu ran up ahead of him jumping rooftop leaving a gap of about fifty meters between him and Tee. Tee had little intentions of really watching Yuzu's back but if somebody did try to attack him or Yuzu he would retaliate with the intent to kill because he had the longing for it. He could almost taste it on his lips, fresh blood of his enemies. But then as an eerie silence came across the area he was in he heard a loud CAWW CAWWW, the sound of a crow. He broke his neck to look back at where the sound was originating from, a medium sized black crow behind him flapping with a note wrapped around its feet. Tee called to Yuzu [color=red]"COME BACK DAMMIT I FOUND IT"[/COLORweather he was heard or not he didn't care he would continue to follow the crow regardless and surely the crow would lead them to the designated man.

He was busy scouting ahead and as he looked back he noticed that Tee was heading in another direction. Making a quick stop as he braked on the roof top he turned then dashed to catch up. As he was closer to Tee he took note of the crow as he followed as well. He looked around and noticed for some reason that they were being drawn away from the front lines. What was the meaning behind this and why were they using such a suspiciously large crow for this. None of it made any sense, until he realised the seriousness of the situation, as he then dropped from the roof tops running ahead again keeping an eye on the crow from below. He formed some quick seals and now had one water clone running with him. He drew his sword as he dashed around looking for someone suspicious, he had to hurry as time was running out and they could not afford to fail this mission.

As he was running he remembered his time at the academy when they were first introduced to explosives.

***FlashBack***
"Now students today i am going to show you an actual explosive tag, now while sometimes they might seem like useless sheets of paper. They are however extremely dangerous and whatever you do, when it starts to sizzle run as far as you can or you wet it. " the explosive tag that was on display had been sizzling while the instructor spoke as it exploded killing him. Accidents happened but some students in the academy were traumatized and quit the academy and developed a fear of paper. Ren however was a bit more serious as he looked at it, he did not really like it but he understood explosives were needed when dealing with powerful enemies or large numbers. He thought about stealing an explosive to kill three bullies who bothered him, but decided it would be more fun to beat them up then kill them.

***FlashBackEnd***

He realised that since he was dealing with explosives it would be a good idea to have his water clone run ahead just incase. As he continued on he made some sidesteps and dashes into each alley way checking up on everything. He hoped that he would not have to do all the work for this mission and that Tee would be as useful as he was in their last mission together. He also began to focus his chakra getting ready for battle as he did not want to waste any time now. His clone stopped for a moment just to tie up Ren's hair a bit as they ran. Time for him to get serious and end this mission as soon as he can.

The crow was an evasive ass bird, it was hard enough keeping track of it amidst the thin fog and having to keep his eyes on it the entire time but the fact that he was jumping from rooftop to rooftop having to watch his step as well didn't make the situation any easier at all. Although he managed to alternate every few seconds between paying attention to the crow and then his footing he hoped the crow would stop soon and even contemplated killing the crow right now for its insolence. The more he followed the crow the angrier and more frustrated he got until he was on the verge of killing the dammed thing. Just as he had his hand on the hilt of his blade that was strapped to his back the retarded crow began to decend. At this point there was no fighting anywhere nearby, it was the perfect place essentially to remote detonate an explosion, far from the blast radius and where nobody would think to even look. However as the crow defended Tee leaped from his portion of the building now above the crow and sliced it in one fluent motion with his blade that he unsheathed while in mid air. He would spin and catch the paper in the crows feet before it would hit the ground stuffing it in his pocket as he defended to the ground.

Tee would land on the ground like a top five boss uninjured due to being an amazing ass shinobi. In front of him stood the man whom Tee assumed to be the shinobi that was going to detonate the bomb and he looked pissed off to hell. The guy obviously knew Tee was a threat and whipped out three kunai between his fingers each with an explosive tag on them on both hands making a total of 6 kunai with tags on them. If Yuzu had shown up the man would launch three of the kunai toward Tee and the other three to Yuzu. Tee would hold is arm out forming his fingers in a gun like position and would charge his lightning chakra through his pointer and middle fingers. He held out those two fingers toward the kunai and his thumb upward as if his hand was a gun. Rapidly he would fire four raiton shots at the four kunai which would explode the kunai upon hit making them explode far before they reached him. Tee would leave the ones that went toward Yuzu for him to deal with if he was there. Then he would fire three more raiton shots at the man who would backflip back a couple of times easily dodging the technique.

Tee still having a ration charge in his fingertips decided to fire the last six more raiton shots at him to distract him hoping that Yuzu would come and do something about him, perhaps catching him off guard or something. "BITCH DIE ALREADY" Tee would shout toward the man who had a smug grin on his face while holding three more bomb kunai between his fingertips.

Jutsu:

Ren had gone into hiding as he found a suspicious guy and noticed the birds decent. As Tee made an all too flashy entrance, Ren charged in as well. The man through his three explosive kunai towards Ren, who realised he had to be serious as he jumped into the air as the explosive kunai went passed him. They hit a building and exploded as the building collapsed. The shinobi was skilled dodging the poor genin Tee like he was nothing. However the distraction delayed the guys attack as he stopped just before throwing his three bomb kunai. The man wanted to keep his grin , but two on one might be annoying for him. He took a stance and then motioned with his hand for them to come at him.

Not one to back away from a fight he did not feel he could lose he charged in at the man. The man punched for Ren's face, but Ren blocked it with his sword as he was knocked back. The man then proceded to attack with a front kick,back kick and a double roundhouse kicks. Ren dodged all of them not even getting a chance to properly swing his sword. The time was being bought and once again the clone or the actual ren tapped Tee's shoulder. "Tee, I noticed a strange bump in the ground, i can not see it but i did trip over it. I live in this village i should not be tripping over anything. Please find the main bomb before it is too late i can deal with this guy so long. I have a plan and if you do this we can kill him without worrying if he is going to set off the bomb by dying"

Meanwhile things were heating up Ren's sword nearly knocked out of his hands, the B-rank shinobi just barely avoiding the retaliation slashes from the kid. It was clear that this shinobi had great taijutsu skills that were superior to Ren's bukijutsu, but Ren had a secret weapon that he hoped he would be able to save for an emergency. It is not clear what ran through the genin's mind but Ren was showing exceptional skill fighting back against a shinobi stronger and faster than himself.

Time was running out, with the threat of the bomb being set off they had to do something. Tee had to do something or the entire frontllines would be wiped out.

Tee watched as Ten engaged the enemy after Tee's engagement with the enemy. He seemed to be having a pretty damn hard time and all Tee wanted at this point was for Ren to get out the way and let it keep being a one on one. Then Yuzu's clone would come up to him and say "Tee, I noticed a strange bump in the ground, i can not see it but i did trip over it. I live in this village i should not be tripping over anything. Please find the main bomb before it is too late i can deal with this guy so long. I have a plan and if you do this we can kill him without worrying if he is going to set off the bomb by dying." Tee said to the clone "pppffffffttttttt, do you really think I'm going to run away fuck that I'm fighting him and I'm going to kill his ass. It was apparent that Yuzu was having a hard time dealing with the opponent and Tee decided that he would utilize his fire technique right about now. Yuzu should have known Tee wasn't going to listen and if he had wanted that deed done he had best do it himself because Tee knew he could win this fight and would not be leaving until he proves this to himself and everybody there that he could do it. It was apparent that Yuzu didn't think he was capable given the fact that he was trying to send Tee off to do the boring work.

Besides if anything if they killed or destroyed him he wouldn't have an opportunities to activate anything. Tee decided he would utilize his fire style jutsu now and being as Tee knew that Yuzu utilized the water element due to the water prison he had created last mission he would be able to either escape the blast radius or use his water in order to protect somebody. So while the explodey guy was engaged with Yuzu Tee leaped up into the air at a good angle only about five meters away from the explodey man which was a perfect distance away as it was in range of the jutsu he was soon to perform. Now in the air he would quickly form the tiger hand seal and inhale deeply as if it would be his last breath ever, then upon the exhale powerful flames would emit from his mouth aiming in a flamethrower the size of a bus directly in the path of a poor unsuspecting explodey man. Tee would almost feel bad for him of he wasn't going to have to kill his ass sooner or later. If that didn't work Tee would most likely keep attacking the man until he had defeated his ass.

Tee couldn't see over or through his raging inferno of his flamethrower thing but Tee knew he had aimed it at the location the man was during the initiation of the jutsu. Now its possible he could have avoided the attack but it was pretty hard to avoid a blazing inferno.

Jutsu:

As he continued his fight with the shinobi there was a brief distraction as they looked to the side at a huge ball of fire heading towards them. The man did not waste any time and jumped out of the way hitting his back against a building to avoid the technique. Ren jumped onto the roof of a nearby building as the flames hit the ground setting off what looked like a fuse. As the spark was traveling on the ground the water clone covered for it jumping down and performing the hidden mist technique while stamping out the fuse. It seams the man had been covering the point for detonation and the fact that the fuse was dying down as it traveled meant that it would not be traceable beyond a certain point. The water clones hidden mist made it difficult to relocate the fuse point as the enemy was now upset by this. He began throwing his explosive tags randomly at the location which would be dangerous as a counter Ren's clone grabbed all the tags and committed suicide becoming a puddle of water that wet the explosives rendering them useless. With only a few kunai left and his taijutsu skill the shinobi became serious.

The man became upset as he glared at the genin from the corner of his eyes then said. "I will play with you some other time " the man then looked back at Ren his only real threat as he realised that he could not afford to waste any more time feeling out his opponent. He seemed to vanish from view but had just dashed really fast as touched Tee and placed a seal to limit his movements. Whether Tee had a way to escape the seal was unclear but no sooner had he done that had he dashed straight for Ren delivering a massive kick as Ren blocked it with his sword as he fell off the building. The man followed up by jumping into the air aiming his fist down not scared of the sword as he realised the strength of the blade would not get through his bones. As Ren managed to stab him in the shoulder the man landed a hit as a piece of door got exploded from the force. Having timed his replacement he knew he could not keep up now that the man was using the full extent of his taijutsu. He needed an opening as he was right next to the man, he swung his sword but the man blocked it by stepping on the blade then he kneed Ren in the chest as he flew inside the building. The man picked up one of his wet explosives as he shaked it dry and activating the seal tossed it at the building. The building exploded as the man laughed and turned to face Tee as if he had nothing left to fear. It was unclear what had happened to Ren but at the very least the mist was still covering the detonation point which would buy some time. The man took out his last few kunai stringing them together as he looked at Tee with a smirk on his face. " Let us see what you can do you pathetic weakling" as he then tossed one kunai towards Tee's head.

Apparently his attack had been avoided by both the opponent and Yuzu. This only made Tee increasingly more upset, but he wouldn't allow it to make him reckless no he would make sure to channel that anger in such a way that he would be sure to kill the man. He decides to use his bloodline for the first time. He never really thought anybody would be worthy enough to have him use it but right now it wasn't that the man was worthy but more the fact that Tee was angry and wanted to kill him and now. But then Tee heard a hissing noise like that of a fuse, apparently he had just set one off but Yuzu acted fast utilizing the Hidden Mist Technique of Kirigakure, he put out the fuse and the fuse at least from his distance was not even visible. Then the opponent turned to him "I will play with you some other time" Tee went off. He was insulted initially at the fact that the man thought him to be little of a threat and headed over driving his attention to Yuzu that was his first mistake right there taking his eye off of Tee. He performed his Eizo animation, basically is was a shadow clone but it wasn't, it was a full copy of him capable of all of his abilities but it could not be dispersed like other clones no this one had to be KILLED to disappear. So there stood two furious Tees side by side ready to fuck up this man. But to Tee's surprise the man disappeared and placed a seal on his Eizo instead probably co fused at which was the real one. When the man did this the Eizo acted quickly gathering a large amount of lightning chakra to its fingertips and then fluctuating it throughout his entire body which would cause the opponent to release his grip and his hand would have first degree burns.

Then he dashed toward Yuzu like a dumbass totally neglecting Tee himself, the Eizo would slightly be disabled due to the seal not being properly prepared since the Eizo had shocked him. Most likely he wouldn't be able to utilize his hand for the duration of the battle as well. Tee would watch as the opponent would engage Yuzu in taijutsu and eventually wind up blowing up a building with a seemingly Yuzu inside. If he was dead he was dead, but this man would fall with him for damn sure. The man held a string of kunai glaring at him with a sinister grin. Tee simply laughed like a maniac, it was a deep maniacal laugh and ended with an abrupt yodel. He would then perform the tiger hand seal yet again inhaling in deeply and would exhale right in the opponents direction launching a fireball right at the man expecting him to dodge which he did. But simultaneously the Eizo would break free from the poorly preparer seal it would have been subjugated to.

The Eizo would extend his arm and put his fingers out like Tee had done earlier. Charging Raiton chakra to the fingertips the Eizo would fire all fifth teen shots toward the opponent as he was dodging the fireball and would least have expected it. And while shooting the bullets Tee himself would come around the side unsheathing his blade moving in to go for the kill while he was distracted. Out of the fifteen shots the first five hit all within the chest region causing him to have his cloths burn off and tinge leaving a slight smoke emitting from his chest. Now Tee rushes the aide while this man had all of his attention on the Eizo like a dumbass with a single swift slice Tee would chop down the man aiming for the side of his neck where a large artery was located. Immediately he hit the ground but Tee wasn't done he wanted to make sure the fool was dead, he took the sword from out of his neck and leaped up sheathing his sword and leaped into the air performing the tiger hand seal once more.

He inhaled deeply and exhaled launching a fireball at the limp body on the ground, if he was alive then it didn't matter because he wouldn't be able to move, but once the fireball hit he would be dead. His skim burned from head to toe with second degree burns. His body lay limp and their goal had been completed. Tee began walking toward the destruction of the broken building where Yuzu may or may not have died to see if he was still alive. If he was alive then hey good he got out of the mission alive but if not he deserved to die since it was bur a simple explosive rage that had dome him in and he should be ashamed of himself in the afterlife.

Jutsu:

An intense display of skill from Tee as well as revealing a rather impressive technique as well. Having revealed the eizo technique. Ren had picked up on it having spent some time in the rubble of the building as he looked on while the mist still covered the main threat to the operation. He watched as the combination of fire and lightning was unleashed in order to defeat the man. Ren did not like how things were going as he wondered why the mans movements had changed. It was then that Ren sighed as he stood up in the rubble. Tee seemed to be walking towards Ren's location. Rather careless for facing an opponent that at the very least was B-rank. The man was stronger than anticipated and it was a bit careless to expect, second degree burns to be enough against an explosive specialist. The man rose up laughing as he grabbed the one Eizo from behind and stabbing him in the back with his kunai. Whether it was skill or clearly dumb luck Tee was alive, but the same could not be said for his clone who had taken a direct blow. The man then snapped the Eizo's neck as he noticed the mist clearing. Whether Tee sweat in fear, or whether he would have nightmares of the burnt man at night in his dreams. All of this would be an unknown as the man rushed for the fuse to activate it again. The man was injured and was not fast enough to beat Ren who stepped on his hand. The man looked up in shock as the wind blew small fragments of dust from within Ren's hair.

" You were beaten by a mere weakling, then not wishing to die you forced yourself to kill him. You can not even tell the difference between the original and the clone. I learnt of this technique in one of my earliest missions. It is like becoming two shinobi at once, but it means nothing if you turn your back on your opponent. I will apologize for his stupidity and will give you a true shinobi farewell."

He stabbed the back of the guys neck as he bled out the burns as well getting to the enemy. He had made his last attempt to complete his mission and failed. A shinobi who fails is normally met with death. As he looked on as he wondered why he did not make sure the man was dead, was he that full of rage he can not see the difference between playing dead and being dead. He sighed again as he looked on at Tee feeling that he had a lot he had to teach this kid. Being a kid himself it felt awkward and strange at the same time.

Ren finally said to Tee, " Kill as many people as you want, just make sure you really kill them or you just going to be a nuisance ". He walked off carefully tracing the fuse as he would cut it at each point to prevent the chain from linking up. As he left the genin to reflect on what had happened he began to wonder why the guy did not just set off the fuse himself from the start and then attack. The man had underestimated them and now was bleeding to death. Even if the man survived bleeding out he would suffer a slow death. The enemy would not take kindly to failure or a useless shinobi just as how the village he was against will not accept him either. The man was destined to die, whether it is now or through the night.

As he travelled a bit further he looked to the side of one of the buildings. " You planning to finish what you started ". A strange shinobi appeared slightly from the shadows, you improved a lot since the last time i saw you. I just have one question, why did you hold back?" . Ren looked on with a more serious look, "If i went all out you would have killed my partner, that is why i kept my eyes on you." The woman smiled as did he then she said to him. "I will kill you before this war is over".

"I look forward to you killing me, if you can" As the woman disappeared into the shadows he walked on slowly writing up a report for the Mizukage. It may seem stupid but even if the war came to an end he had to report on his mission. Whether they lose the war and his forced to serve under Seven Bells, or when the Mizukage wins he negotiates the terms of his clan's status. Everything was unclear as in the end it would be up to them to win the war.
