Chapter 281

"Calm down Karui, we need to think about this logically if we want to have any hope of beating this jutsu," Omoi said as he fought off a horde of the clones. They were rather weak, but more than made up for it with numbers and the fact that they didn't seem to die was irritating to say the least.

"Omoi is right yo! We've got to think about this calmly or we'll never know!" Bee spun around the clones and sliced through them all like a buzz saw, barely even visible to the others who were fighting. "Eight-o says there's a chakra signature hiding in the building to the left, let's find who it belongs to and beat him for being a pest!"

'I thought I told you not to call me Eight-O Bee!' The Hachibi grit its teeth in annoyance from within the seal.

Bee ignored his tenant for the moment as he watched his two students replace themselves with a pair Rai Bunshins and sneak into the store the Hachibi had located the chakra signature. Less than a minute later the clones dissolved and Karui and Omoi came back out with the corpse of an Ame ninja.

"Man that was easy," Karui commented as she threw the now dead ninja on the ground and destroyed the body with a Raiton jutsu. "I can't believe how weak that guy was after giving us so much trouble."

Now that they were out of danger Omoi took out a sucker, unwrapped it and stuck it in his mouth, "What are you talking about Karui, he was obviously weak from the way he had tried to defeat us, hiding in the shadows and using an illusionary clone technique like that. He probably hoped that we would eventually tire out and he could kill us. Perhaps he planned on having - OOF!"

Omoi was sent flying as Karui smashed her fist in his face, "SHUT THE HELL UP OMOI! I'M SICK OF LISTENING TO YOU OVERTHINKING EVERYTHING!"

"Hey little red, you need to chill out before you burst yo head!" Kirabi tried to calm down his student. She turned a glare on him but he ignored it, "Now let's find the others and make sure they ain't dead, last thing I need is for big bro to have my head."

Samui frowned as she, Kotetsu and Izumo continued cutting through and destroying the clones. While she was keeping calm on the outside on the inside she was getting aggravated. Every time one of them destroyed a clone it burst into an ink like substance before reverting back to its original state. She could tell from the fact that none of them seemed capable of doing any real damage that they were more illusionary then anything, and that the real person was most likely hiding. But she was unsure how to get them to reveal themselves.

"Man this is actually starting to get a little boring," Kotetsu commented as he cut off the head to one of the clones, watching as the ink like substance crawled up its skin and reformed the head.

"I know what you mean, these things are so weak but they just keep coming back," Izumo stabbed one of the inky clones through the heart with a kunai, grimacing as he pulled out his hand and saw it covered in whatever the hell this stuff it was made out of was, "These things are kind of disgusting too, I wonder what they're made out of?"

"Can you two please stop talking?" Samui grunted as he sliced two clones in half, "Unless you have a plan for finding the creator of these things then please be quiet and let me think."

"Ugh…fine. You know, you sure are bossy," Kotetsu quieted down when he saw her glare at him.

Samui racked her brain as she tried to find a way to find the original. She was fairly positive that he was here somewhere, since jutsu like this usually required the caster to be within a specific distance from where the jutsu was being used. The problem was finding them. She was not a tracker and from what she could tell of the two ninja with her, neither were they.

Fortunately the situation was taken out of her hand when all of the clones suddenly dispersed, dissolving into an inky black substance.

"What the-" Izumo looked around before spotting a figure approaching them.

"Hey!" Anko called out as she walked towards them carrying the now dead Ame shinobi over her shoulders. "Were you three looking for this?" She threw the body at their feet.

"Anko-san," Samui greeted with a slight nod of her head, "Have you seen Kirabi-sensei and the others?"

"Not today no," Anko shook her head as Kotetsu destroyed the body. "I was too busy getting ambushed by another one of these losers."

"I see, if that is the case then it's most likely that Kirabi-sensei and my teammates have the same problem." Samui paused before looking at Anko. "Could you go and help Naruto-ku-san, while I find my sensei and teammates?" Samui tried covering up her slip up from using the affectionate suffix on Naruto's name, and while the two other Chunin did not hear it, Anko caught it easily.
