142 The Gold And Silver Brothers

The air was hot because of the nearby hot springs, one great camp was built near them. Kumo's army was replenishing its energy and will.

Yesterday was a long day for the army, they had advanced through the whole Land of Frost. Now that they had successfully entered The Land of Hot Water, they permitted themselves to have a breath.

The camp was built of wood. Hundreds if not thousands of tents were placed all over it. The largest tent was were the Raikage would rest and prepare future actions. Ay, B, the head of the Senko clan and the head of the Gobetsu clan were sitting inside it.

"Lord Raikage, I'm telling you, we should scout further. Like Lord Tsuchikage said, the time it took us to get here could have abled Konoha to lay traps all over the place." B tried to convince Ay.

But there was nothing to convince, Ay was a very precocious man. He had planned to do just what B proposed.

"I know B, I know. Further ahead, there might be Konoha's army waiting for us. We cannot risk being sneak attacked. We will send them to scout and track whoever may be concealed."

Even though the ones who would be sent could have some attitude, the clan heads all agreed with Ay's idea. Moreover, they were the best tracking duo of the whole Land of Lightning

Two man who where alike were sitting next to each other. Their long hair was gold and sliver, their weapons were unique and seemed very ominous.

"Ginkaku, do you think that we can take on the Tsuchikage by ourselves?" Kinkaku had heard about Kentaro's fight and how he killed Madara Uchiha. He was dreaming of one day, measuring himself to him.

"Kinkaku, we only need his spirit word and he is done for! We are the Two Lights! Kumo's Gold and Silver Brothers. At the end of the war our names would have spread all over the world!" a shinobi interrupted them.

"Lord Kinkaku, Lord Ginkaku, Lord Raikage summons the both of you." the brothers stood up and took their weapons, the shinobi led them to the largest tent.

"Lord Raikage, what is it that you want?" Ginkaku didn't want to waste his time.

Ay didn't mind, he knew of Ginkaku's character.

"We can't stay here forever. Our army has to advance further, but we have to make sure that there won't be bad surprises waiting for us ahead." Ay stood up and resumed.

"Your tracking abilities are the best we have at our disposal. The two of you will go and scout further ahead, track the enemies and kill them." Kinkaku and Ginkaku looked at each other and smiled viciously.

"For insurance, eighteen shinobi will accompany you. Kinkaku, you will be the one who leads the unit." Ginkaku was a bit displeased. He wanted to be alone with Kinkaku, not be accompanied by eighteen others.

"Alrighty then, we'll make sure to bring our mission to succes." Kinkaku and Ginkaku gave a look at B.

They didn't like each other and it seemed that it was reciprocal. Kinkaku and Ginkaku left the tent and waited for the other eighteen to join them in front of the camp's exit.

The eighteen shinobi all came together, they didn't look strong but nor did they look weak. Kinkaku took the lead.

"Alright, I'm Kinkaku and this is Ginkaku. You have to listen to our every word, we are leading the unit. Our mission consists of scouting and tracking down enemies who could be preparing something against our army's advance." the eighteen shinobi nodded their heads.

As shinobi of Kumo, they highly feared and respected the two Gold and Silver Brothers. This great fear and respect came from the fact that they were able to wield the four treasured tools while nobody else could.

"Let's go!" Kinkaku started running and the others followed behind. They ran south, deeper into The Land of Hot Water and closer to The Land of Fire.

The Land of Hot Waters had forests and fields, from time to time they would ran into hot springs. Successfully concealing all kinds of traps would a very easy task.

Kinkaku stopped running and motioned the others to stop. He lyed down on his stomach, he looked intently at the ground where footprints were visible.

Kinkaku took the piece of earth where the footprint was. He smelled it and later put it in his mouth, the next thing he did was chewing the piece of earth.

If anyone else saw this, they would think that Kinkaku was crazy. The eighteen shinobi saw art, the art of tracking.

"How many men, Kinkaku?" Ginkaku wanted to know, he was impatient to fight against enemy forces. Kinkaku stood back up and looked at the unit, he removed a strand of red hair out of his mouth and showed it to the unit.

"Twenty shinobi. They are further down south, I would say ten kilometers. They have impressive chakra, to think that they would also be involved in this war." Kinkaku smiled and threw the hair on the ground, he motioned the unit to follow him.

Ginkaku knew who they were tracking, he had never met them in real life and had only heard about them.

In a large grass field with a couple of hot springs, twenty red-haired men and women were placing paper bombs under the ground. It was their mission, to lay traps all around this area.

"We must halt Kumo's army while they are still in The Land of Hot Water. We can't let them enter The Land of Fire, the majority of Konoha's forces are busy fighting in the main battlefield." the main battlefield being The Land of Grass.

"Even if they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to enter The Land of Fire. Konoha has deployed six thousand shinobi, the Nara clan, the Akimichi clan, the Yamanaka clan and half of the Hyuga clan. To top it all off, our clan has come to their aid" the Uzumaki girl was very confident.

The sound of a sword spinning in the air took everyone's attention. The Uzumaki girl looked up and everything turned black for her.

Ginkaku's Seven Star Sword cut her head off like butter. The nineteen Uzumaki jumped back in surprise of that sudden attack.

"Nice one, Ginkaku!" Kinkaku and the whole unit appeared, they walked closer to the Uzumaki. Meanwhile, Kinkaku wrapped the Golden Canopy Rope around his left arm and prepared his Banana Palm Fan in his right hand.

"It's seems like we have some poor souls to take care of! Right, Ginkaku!?" Kinkaku waved the Banana Palm Fan, a large fire tornado traveled to the Uzumaki.

'Water Style: Water Wall Jutsu!' three Uzumaki spewed a current of water out of their mouths, it extinguished the fire tornado.

"Yeah, Kinkaku! We have to take good care of those poor souls, hahaha!" Ginkaku dashed forward and slid between the Uzumaki and grabbed the Seven Star Sword. With one strike, another Uzumaki was killed.

The Gold and Silver Brothers had taken action!
