"Kakashi,"

"I know."

"They can handle it Naru."

"Can they?"

"Let's see what they can do," lavender hair swayed with the wind as she hopped down from the trees with her partner.

"Gaara," Temari said her voice full of urgency as they walked ahead of their senseis.

"I know nee-chan," the redhead replied the cork popping out of his gourd.

"Kiba can you smell it?"

"Poison," the shaggy brunet replied.

"Lots of it."

"Shino," the puppet-wielding shinobi asked their other comrade.

"Can you sense them?"

"Just up ahead hidden in a puddle-genjutsu," the bug shinobi replied.

"Alright listen up," Kankuro took charge as the most experienced genin. Without breaking their formation, he relayed his plan.

"They have poison on their weapons as smelled by both Gaara and Kiba. We'll need to stay away from them and fight them long range. We'll wait for them to attack before we retaliate. Temari we need you away from firing range so that you can back us up, fall back to sensei. I'm sure they already know but they're letting us handle it," The blonde nodded.

"Sensei, doesn't the wave country have its own shinobi?" Temari asked as she hopped back towards the elder ninjas.

"No they don't Temari," Kakashi answered his daughter formally.

"How come?"

"They're a small country and it's surrounded by water on most sides," Sasuke said.

"If I remember correctly the only way to get on the island is by boat."

"Which is why we were hired to protect the bridge-builder," Naru concluded.

"Now Shino!" Kankuro's exclamation broke up their conversation.

"Gaara on your left!" Kiba shouted as one clawed shinobi rose from the puddle they had just passed.

Gaara's sand reacted instantly to the enemy's presence it blocked the oncoming attack as the redhead regained his control over it. A whip formed out of the golden grains, wrapping around the ninja's torso as smaller tendrils rose to immobilize him. Gaara almost choked at the scent of the poison laced in their weapons.

"Kankuro!"

"Art of Puppetry: Chakra strings!" chains of chakra sprouted from Kankuro's fingertips attaching themselves to the other ninja's body. Shino's bugs continued to drain the missing nin of his chakra even as Kankuro took control of his anatomy.

"Kiba!" Gaara shouted as the brunet swayed. He slammed his captive onto the ground knocking him out before rushing towards his fallen comrade.

"Temari!"

Green chakra was already glowing on her hands as she ran towards the dog nin.

"When did he get hit?" Kankuro asked as he made sure that the enemies were unconscious.

"Just before I blew the other one towards Gaara." Temari answered as she ran a diagnostic test on Kiba.

"The poison is potent but nothing I can't handle," she said.

"What do you need?"

"Just give me the usual Gaara," Temari ordered as the redhead took out his storage scroll and released a small pouch from it.
