A short while ago.

In the thick forest, a short distance away from Guren and Daichi two other fights were taking place. Guren's subordinates were trying to buy time while the two Leaf Jonins were trying to subdue them. They had separated from Daichi and wanted to find out more about Orochimaru's plans.

Anko looked at the brown haired man with the loose fitting vest. She was on guard as she studied her opponent. 'This guy. Even in such a situation he still has a laid back attitude... I get it. He's one of those scheming, intellect types. We'll then, let's see what you can do.'

Anko rushed towards him at quick speed and raised her left arm.

'Striking Shadow snakes!'

Multiple snakes swiftly emerged out of Anko's sleeve and immediately went towards Rinji. Within moments the snakes bit into his flesh and held him in place.

At that moment several shuriken came from the bushes nearby and flew towards Anko. The Leaf Jonin canceled her jutsu and jumped out of the way.

"You didn't think it would be that easy would you? I've seen that trick plenty of times from Lord Orochimaru." Rinji said as he walked out from behind the small vegetation with a smile on his face.

The one Anko caught turned into smoke and in its place was a log. The Leaf Jonin turned her attention to Rinji and gave a flirty smile. "Can't blame a girl for trying."

At that moment from behind Rinji a small snake was making its way towards him. Just as it was near his leg Rinji raised his left leg and stomped on its head killing it. "It's a childish trick. Trying to distract me and attacking from behind. It won't work."

Anko merely smiled and shrugged but she was cautious. 'That snake didn't make any sound and its presence was very little. He shouldn't have known about it. So how did he do it?'

"You can't beat me. You should stop wasting your energy." Rinji said with a sigh as if he was giving Anko a way out.

"Never gonna happen."

"Our leader Guren is on a completely different level than me. She'll subdue that kid in no time. He's no match for her."

"What exactly does Orochimaru want with Daichi and Lady Tsunade?" Anko asked the man.

"I don't know what his plans are for Lady Tsunade but for Daichi..." The smile on Rinji's face grew bigger. "Well, if it's for what I think it is, then all I can say is that, that kid will be fulfilling a great purpose."

Anko thought back to the memories of her time with Orochimaru and of his betrayal and it made her angry. "I'm not gonna let that happen."

Gripping a kunai she rushed towards the enemy in front of her. The two quickly began their Taijutsu fight.

A few hundred meters away Genma was fighting against Gozu. The leaf Jonin was taking careful notes of the enemy's strengths as he dodged another wave of attacks. 'Daichi was right. This guy has earth chakra nature and powerful Earth jutsus.'

Genma was jumping around and avoiding the volley of mud bullets coming at him. He took out a shuriken and tied a paperbomb to it and sent it flying the next second.

Gozu placed his hand on the ground and suddenly a large wall sprung up in front of him protecting him from the weapon. The second the shuriken was embedded into the wall, it exploded.

Gozu was safe from the blast thanks to his earth shield but suddenly he sensed a presence behind him.

Genma appeared and was about to plunge his kunai into Gozu's back but suddenly the enemy's speed increased and he escaped Genma's surprise attack. Gozu jumped and twisted his body the second he sensed Genma's presence behind him. He stood on the earth wall he created and jumped towards Genma.
