~third person POV~

Inside the cave, the smaller stone ninja is currently crouched down in front of Rin. He grabbed her hair forcing her head up to look at her face. Her eyes were unfocused and glazed over.

"You're surprisingly stubborn." He was saying when Kakashi and Obito appeared inside of the cave. He turned to them with a bored expression and let out a sigh. "Hm, they're all so pathetic." He said before standing up to face them.

Obito looked at Rin and observed her chakra flow was going wild.

"The flow of Rin's chakra is disturbed... it's different from your chakra or mine." He informed.

"She's probably under a genjutsu." Kakashi responded. "They didn't waste any time trying to get the information out of her."

"It looks like they're not mere kids." The shinobi smirked.

Obito and Kakashi fell into defensive stances.

"We fought him earlier. He's fast... stay alert!" Kakashi said.

"Right!"

With that the ninja raced at them and they charged as well, and the battle commenced. Obito and Kakashi displaying excellent teamwork as they fought and Kakashi dealt the final blow, after Obito distracted him and blocked his arms. The two then made their way to Rin, releasing her from the genjutsu and untying her.

"Kakashi, Obito!" She exclaimed as soon as she was released from the jutsu.

"We've come to rescue you, Rin! You'll be all right now." Obito said.

"All right, now let's get out of here!"

The three stood up and were about to leave when a voice spoke up.

"I see... You two made a good team, but you're still just kids." The smaller stone ninja said while getting up. "Right now, you're in enemy hands." He said forming hand signs while calling out, "Earth Style: Rock Breaker!" and he escaped as the cave started collapsing.

"This is bad!!"

"Run for the exit!!" Kakashi yelled in alarm. The three immediately took of dodging the falling rocks and boulders. But then a rock hit Kakashi's wounded eye causing him to collapse and lose consciousness.

"Kakashi!" Rin called and Obito ran back to get him, tossing him over to safety along side Rin. He looked up to see it was too late for him now and his eyes widened in fear as a large boulder was about to land on top of him.

"Release!"

~outside~

Outside the cave you could see the dust escape the cave.

"Too bad, I lost a good source of information... Oh well, it can't be helped." The ninja said with a smirk. Of course he failed to hear the faint "release!" coming from inside of the cave as the cave was still collapsing.
