And there he sat, boringly peering into the sky in front of the grand Konohagakure Gates. So this is chastisement for my defect? Thanks, Kohana, sarcastic were his thoughts, so thankful he was, nonetheless. He didn’t expect to be as well-received upon returning home. Nonetheless, as a Jōnin of the Hidden Leaf, he was anticipated to do a number of duties; this just happened to be one of them at the discretion of his Hokage. Propped in the most nominal of chairs, he would lean back, allowing the rear legs to boost all support while he rested his back upon the wooden stronghold. Maybe someone would come along and relieve him of his duties; maybe he could have an assistant of sorts.

Anbus were spread evenly along the Gate’s ceiling routes, though with the former Hokage on duty, the guards and other Shinobi lagged on their own obligations. Where his attendance lacked, his strength was all the more palpable. No one would get in, and those who were expected to stay within the Village wouldn’t leave, no, not under his watchful eyes. Hopefully something would happen and as much as he feared wishing harm upon his own homeland, he did expect some confrontation to occur. It would relieve him of his stress and not doubt push his attentiveness into gear when he was required to show his fangs.

“Just one day of this.”

"Very well then young brave and admirable Shinobi."

NPC 2:

No more than a second later after the last syllable escaped the man's parted lips had his eyes burst forth and transformed into the fabled Byakugan! His hands, beneath the confines of his robes, began speeding through a specific set of hand-seals, as he bolted forward straight towards that man (Ryu) closest to him. His steps were loose yet simple & refined, allowing him to breach the three meter threshold -presuming he would've gotten that far- as he moved with above average (x2) speeds. Even still, he knew he couldn't have been overly hasty as he hadn't been alone at all.

NPC: 1

Once the signal sounded off, his arms raised and stretched out laterally. Thereafter, a plethora of black constructs poured from every possible opening within his clothes. Insects they were, hundreds, no, perhaps even a thousand of them detached from their host and moved briskly through the air with uncontested synergy. They hadn't moved in a single unit, nay, instead they separated (two clouds of 500) and branched off in their own directions. Unit one took the fastest route and curved widely, positioning themselves to the point where they'd been perfectly paralleled with Ryuusuke's righter most flank.

The secondary unit (i.e unit 2), ascended 5 meters into the air, hovering over everyone and everything within the vicinity. Mimicking their comrade (NPC 2), unit 2 merely assumed a more direct approach and headed straight towards the ANBU operative with a speedy yet, surprisingly steady gait. They would've closed the distance within a handful of seconds considering the distance, ready to disunite once close enough.

Meanwhile, the host himself back-peddled slowly, distancing himself an additional five meters from the Anbu.

NPC 3:

In tandem with their partners signal, the twins immediately separated, creating an additional ally despite their fixed number of forces, easily becoming NPC 4 (while not official, just for the sake of clarity while separated). He remained idle and crouched low to the earth upon one knee in tandem with digging deep into his pouch and retrieving his mutated modified kunai. Aligned with the man at an angle, that same arm flung forward as fast as it could. With both hands free once more, his hands danced through the constellations, forming hand-signatures as though the world itself counted on them.

If everything worked out as planed, the seals wouldn't brought about explosive and satisfying results.

NPC 4 (NPC 3 twin):

Having separated from his brother, he stepped out from his immediate rear and -as soon as possible- form a single hand signature. Near-instantaneously, the entirety of his body sunk low into the earth itself, enough so that he -quite literally- submerged himself into the earth. Considering the amount of things that occurred simultaneously with a high level synergy, it'd been safe to say (though not absolute) that the Anbu wouldn't have caught on to the twin's movements.

Once submerged fully, he motioned towards the Anbu as fast as possible, and considering the twins shared a mental link, the twin above the earth constantly relayed the Anbu's position position with pinpoint coordinates. He'd close the distance fast, and eventually would act once given the signal.

Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low to use and sustain
Kikaichuu no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu utilized by the Aburame clan. At birth, the user is serves to host as a nest for the Kikaichuu.

NPC 4:

Dochuu Eigyo (Underground Fish Projection)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: 3
Chakra Consumption: Mid, Mid (upkeep)
Dochuu Eigyo is a Ninjutsu technique which utilizes the Earth Element. After performing a set of handseals, the user conceals themself beneath the earth, much like in Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu. However, now they are capable of moving through the earth like a fish moves through water, allowing them to stage surprise attacks or escape from a potentially deadly onslaught.

Note: To learn this technique the user must know Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu. Concealment is near-instantaneous. The user cannot perform seals beneath the ground and thus cannot use jutsu, but can wield weapons. To remain underground without suffocating, the user will need to continually expend chakra.

He spoke once more, which seemingly signaled quite the gratuitous retaliation. Each and every one of the onlookers soon took to a diverse offensive, and Ryūsuke would be quite to respond. An Anbu—a trained Shinobi outfitted for all circumstances, while he was surprised, his body and mind acted almost intuitively and instantaneously.

Concurrently and as swift as the wind itself, both hands retreated to their respective, sides, only to clasp on top two tailored Kunai, the one along his right being the more affected of the two. With strong, quick upward tosses and pinpoint accuracy, would they soar towards their relevant destinations. The one on the left aimed between the rushing man and the stationary grunt, meant to pass the approaching. The second mirroring the first, but on the opposite side, rushing between the impending swarm and the Hyūga. When faced with a swarm, it was best to eliminate the mass as quickly as possible. Nonetheless, at such an angle, and with minimal obstructions in this open vicinity, even without his Sharingan, was Ryūsuke conscious of the newly arrived forth party; they were well-prepared and structured.

Hurriedly did his hands come together, forming a single seal (this would parallel with the Soushi’s retrieval of his kunai) as the twin projectiles reached their intersections, would a roar of untold might ensue¹. The one off to the right expanding in both range and voracity then its left counterpart, attempting to disband, it not incinerate the amassing swarm, but its creator as well or inflict whatever damage possible. Inadverently, would the explosions’ force alone, most likely prematurely detonate the opposition’s Kunai adding to his already explosive range, or deflect it.

His steps were loose yet simple & refined, allowing him to breach the three meter threshold -presuming he would've gotten that far- as he moved with above average (x2) speeds.

Likewise to the opposing side, Ryūsuke created a pincer with an explosive additive. And while not ignorant to the approaching swarm that hovered over the Hyūga, Ryūsuke did understand why the man stopped mid-rush, though it wouldn’t matter, for he would be forced to accept damage from both sides unless he acted quickly, stopping just several meters from the Uchiha. Flames, clouds and metal shrapnel, it didn’t look well for the Hyūga, though Ryūsuke wouldn’t abate.

Immediately following the execution of his seal did the Jōnin flank off to his left in a sprint, all the while, keeping his sights upon his work. His hidden executor secured upon his right hand, he was primed for close quarters, for now however, he would try to keep his distance to analyze. An Aburame, A Hyūga, and an unknown, he thought to himself as he moved with diligence in his step and attentiveness in his actions.

Range: -
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: 1

Fuubaku Houjin is a Ninjutsu technique used by shinobi in conjunction with common explosive devices such as exploding notes. With this, the user can choose when their explosives detonate, opposed to being at the mercy of a countdown.

NPC 2:

The Hyuuga's rotation had been considered the ultimate defense not because of its defense capabilities, but its speed and how quickly a trained Hyuuga could effectively tap into and exploit its obvious advantages. Don't fret nor cry for the Kunai's in fact exploded (due to their spicy additions), however, due to the instantaneous defensive properties that entailed the Hyuuga's kaiten, he would've received minimal burns (if any damage at all). Unfortunately, his attempt continue spinning mid-air and slam the Uchiha into the gates that were to his immediate rear had been foiled by a simple shunshin.

While it hadn't always been ideal, the Hyuuga's wide rotation couple with the smoke that billowed from the tag's explosion provided an undeniable amount of cover for said shunshin, however, with the Byakugan, it hadn't meant that he lost track of his movements. Before long, the Hyuuga willfully stopped spinning almost as fast as he started.

By the time he stopped and accessed the situation, and realized that the Uchiha had already fancied the Hyuuga to be dead (i.e not giving him any attention), the Hyuuga would've stepped forward by a single meter and thrust his palm forward towards the Anbu's side flank. As a result, a near invisible, spherical tube of chakra (circumference of bowling ball) rushed towards his position, aiming to push him back all but three meters.

NPC 1:

The Aburame, kept his distance, harvesting (for the past two turns / Master I - 3,000 total) Sent out two additional units (1,000 each) of insects that hovered 7 meters above the ground and moved swiftly towards both combatants (Ryu & Naiya). Unfortunately, the first unite succumbed to the Anbu's explosion entirely, whereas unit 2 just barely survived considering they previously hovered 5 meters above the ground to catch the very edge with minimal damage. Though even then their numbers diminished (250), yet, they persevered and continued on towards the Anbu, hovering just 5 meters above him waiting.

Units 3 & 4 merely continued upon the shortest path to the Anbu and the young woman at the host's own behest as he continued to harvest a plethora of insects.

NPC 3:

The attack suddenly came out of now where, leaving him with little to not time to react, well, other than having the privilege of seeing the last thought that ran through his mind - steamed buns & noodles.

NPC 4:

Unable to be seen through solid earth via sharingan, the soushi's second half remained undetected and hidden from both opponents, almost as if he never existed. Regardless, having never stopped moving beneath the ground whilst funneling chakra throughout his body to prevent suffocation, he aligned himself just beneath the Anbu and was determined to stay beneath him even in motion, presuming that he moved in correlation to the Hyuuga's attack.

Hakke Kuushou (Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m, Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: 2x Mid
Once the Hyuuga understands the art of summoning energy all at once into a single, fine strike, they are able to execute with the same precision, but from a distance. Extending chakra from their body, the Hyuuga will thrust their palm at the target, sending out a vicious wave of wind that can knock the opponent back a great distance (up to three meters). The sphere of wind is roughly the size of a bowling ball, yet carriers a tremendous amount of force.

[Earth prison in previous post yet targeted for Naiya due to interruption]

Without an immediate pursuit, Ryūsuke had already come to the conclusion—being his first opponent’s demise. This made the battle more tolerable. Still prepped in primed, Ryūsuke was well aware of the bugs levitating towards him, and as a direct result, before they made it directly over his frame, the Uchiha preformed a single seal. While one of the four was surely dead, there were 3 unaccounted for, though Ryūsuke’s preparations would isolate the execution of another in the near future.

Looking on, aware of his surroundings, Ryūsuke saw a series of bugs heading in his directly, urging him to continue to his left in a collected sprint. He had to generate some time to devise a plan, or so he wanted to make himself and his opposition believe. Naturally practiced and accustomed to moving in rapid motion, the former Hokage was well fortified, and as a direct result, his sprint would soon curve inward as he would transition from the wide-arch into the direction of the Aburame, now leading a frontal sprint.
