For several seconds the Konoha team listen out to try and hear out for any sounds of fighting between the Kiri-nins and the STORM ANBU. But during the time they heard noting except for slashing like sounds and swishing sounds of weapons sailing through the air. After about twelve seconds the smoke around them started to tin out a bit so that they could finally see what was happening around them, what they saw shocked them beyond belief.
Up to thirty Kiri-nin bodies were around them with Kunai's in their heads or necks, or with their heads cut off and stabbed or slash marks on their necks or other area's of their bodies. When they saw all this the Konoha-nins and the Princess could not help but be unnerved at the carnage they saw around them with thirty skilled Kiri Shinobi's having been slaughtered by seven STORM ANBU-nins in just a matter of seconds. This just proved what they believed about the STORM ANBU-nins that they were extremely powerful Ninja's far above their own ANBU divisions since they knew that except for two or three ANBU agent's none of Konoha ANBU-nins could do what they just did within the time frame.
"Hurry we must move now it almost time" cried Falcon in which they quickly started to move as fast as they could.
As they ran Owl quickly spoke.
"There are more right ahead of us".
"Then we have to fight and run at the same time since we can't afford to delay any longer we only got fifty seconds left" said Falcon
As they ran two Kiri-nins came out of the smoke right in front of them and charged right at them. Quickly two of the STORM agent intercepted them and blocked their incoming attacks with their Katana's, as soon as the Kiri-nins attacks were blocked two more STORM agents jumped above their comrades and killed the Kiri-nins by stabbing downward with their Katana's onto the unsuspecting Kiri-nins heads before they could do anything to avoid or block the STORM-nins attack. Just as soon as the bodies of the two Kiri-nins fell dead the two STORM-nins that killed them then grabbed a hold of the other two STORM–nins that had block the Kiri-nins attacks and threw them into the air where they intercepted and killed two more Kiri-nin's that were about to jump down from the air in which the STORM-nins killed them in midair.
At the same time four more Kiri-nins appeared from the left hand side but before they could attack Owl appeared in front of the group and swung her blade and cried out in horizontal slash.
"Kazewangetsu (Crescent Wind)"
Which created a crescent shaped blade of Wind that hit all four Shinobi's at once and cut them in half. But as soon as the attacks on the front and left hand side were dealt with twenty more Kiri-nins appeared from behind in which Hawk and Falcon quickly jumped in between their group and the Kiri-nins.
"All of you keep going on we deal with these lot and catch up with you" order Falcon.
"You heard him let's move" order Raven.
But as the started to run Lee stopped and started to head back to where Falcon and Hawk were fighting the Kiri-nins.
"Lee where are you going we need to stick together" said Sakura trying to stop her friend
"I going to help Hawk-san and Falcon-san fight the Kiri-nins since I cannot let such youthful fellows fight so many un-youthful Shinobi's by themselves. Also the Chakra bands do not really affect me since I cannot use my Chakra anyhow and I only use my Taijutsu which will not be affected" answered Lee
"Lee will be fine Sakura he right those bands do not really affect him" said Kurenai to Sakura after which she then turned to Lee "But you better not fall behind Lee, I've no intention of telling Yakumo that we left you behind".
"Do not worry Kurenai-san I have no intention either in staying in this un-youtthful place any longer, also I have no intention leaving my darling flower Yakumo and my little sunshine Fuku alone" answered Lee with his trade mark shining smile and thumps up after which he started to run where the left Falcon and Hawk.
-Falcon and Hawk fighting-
As Falcon and Hawk fought the Kiri-nins they knew that if they did not finish this soon that they would miss their rendezvous with the Swordfish and be stuck here. As they fought a Kiri Chunin tried to strike them from above but before either could defend themselves a voice screamed out.
"Konoha Senpū (Leaf Whirlwind)".
As they looked above they saw the Kiri Chunin being kicked away by Lee. As he landed back down Hawk turned to him and asked.
"What are you doing here your suppose to be with the others"
"I came here to help you my youthful friends since you were kind enough to save us I thought it only right that I help you to return the favour since the collars don't really effect me since I can't use any Chakra to begin with " answered Lee
"Very well just watch yourself although you don't need Chakra to fight to your full strength those collars still can paralyse your body if they activate it" said Falcon
Lee nodded and rushed off and attacked two more Kiri Chunins
Lee quickly ducked a stabbed to his head from one of the Chunin and quickly punched him in the gut and then spin kicked him to the ribs sending him flying. He then blocked a kick to his side from the other Chunin and pushed the other Chunin away, he then punched the man in the head and the sent him a powerful knee in the stomach followed by a strong kick to the side of the man head sending him crashing to the ground. As Lee finish defeating the two Chunin he turned to where Hawk and Falcon were fighting the main part of the group. When Lee turned he could not help but be in awe at how the two men fought the two of them fought like a perfect team side by side each with their back to the other and defending each other back. The two of them fought in perfect sequence with one another where if Hawk attacked Falcon would defend and if Falcon attacked Hawk would defend. The two slashed and cut the surrounding Kiri-nins with their Katana's like they were noting the two moved as if they were of one mind and knew what the other was going to do on pure instinct it was as if they were doing some kind of dance at the way they moved with one another.
