"Suigetsu, Karin, Jugo, Deidara; protect Killer Bee at all cost! No matter what, we can't let the Akatsuki get ahold of him!" Shira's voice boomed through the clearing with the aid of her chakra. In an instant, her team yelled out their answer.

"Yes!"

Wielding the double-bladed spear with skills she honed for the past three years, the redhead charged forward with a determined glare. The ice user became her support as he stayed away from the battle, aiding her with thousands upon thousands of ice needles hanging in the air. "Haku!" Shira roared out when Tobi dodged the blade of her spear.

"Got it!" Haku formed a one-hand seal and hundreds of his eyes needles flew right at the enemy. Despite the rapid attacks the pair performed, Tobi managed to get away unscathed. None of the ice needles even scratched the masked Akatsuki. Of course, Shira didn't waste a single second as she turned around and sent another barrage of strikes.

Faster, the redhead thought as the blade went through the enemy once more. Faster. Faster. Faster! Be fast enough that he won't have the time to think for his next move!

Tobi himself began to get annoyed. Both of his opponents refused to give him time to do anything. They attacked relentlessly and didn't stop even for a fraction of a second. He'd been on the defensive for quite some time as well and that wasn't good at all.

"Ice Release!" Tobi snapped into attention.

Haku finished a series of one-handed seals and slammed his palm on the ground. "Consecutive Demonic Ice Spikes!" Just as the name implied, ice spikes erupted from the ground starting where Haku touched the earth. Ice spikes formed right after one another and Tobi barely dodged that one.

It slipped his mind that both ninjas in front of him were not only fast in taijutsu or kenjutsu but also in other areas as well. The speed of which those spikes formed had taken him by surprise and in that short moment of inattention, Shira took advantage of.

The Uzumaki appeared right behind the masked enemy and slammed her fist right on his stomach. The force behind her hit sent Tobi flying back and crashing into a boulder.

Watching the battle from the sidelines, Killer Bee couldn't help but be in awe of the duo's coordination. They never missed a beat. When one finished their part, another followed in an instant. Using that kind of strategy left no room for the enemy to retaliate. In addition, the both of them were fast. Crazy fast. It was like when the sky cried tears that helped improve one's speed, the both of them bathed in all that water.

Tobi groaned and caressed his stomach. Who knew that Uzumaki Shira had great control over her chakra? Then again, it didn't seem like she could do it for that long either because she brandished her spear before charging his way instead of using her fist again. Time's up.

Instead of staying in one place, Tobi jumped into the air to avoid the blade from striking him down. However, when he was up in the air, he didn't see a blur of red at all from where he once stood. "Water Release!" Behind that swirly mask, Tobi's eye widened in realization.

"Heaven's Threads!" Before his body could react, a strong force hit his body, water surrounding the blade of her spear. Tendrils formed and those water tendrils pierced him all over his body. As it hit him on the back, the force alone sent him spiraling down into the earth and caused the ground to shake. A massive crater had formed the moment he hit the ground.

A moment of silence echoed in the area as Shira flashed beside Haku. The pair were tense, the cloud of dust blocking their view of Tobi.

"Did that finish him?" Haku asked even though he knew the answer.
