<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#40bfbf">As the Inuzuka heard the other boy's voice he narrowed his eyes a moment, then quickly jumped into another tree. His clone did the same, only landing on the same tree as his original did. Kaosu looked to his clone and sniffed the air. Where was Aoiro? <br/>
<br/>
Suddenly a loud cry was heard and Kaosu quickly searched the trees, from where the light haired boy stood, he could see his white haired companion limp lightly. His white fur, sullied with a red strip of blood. Kaosu bit his bottom lip. He couldn't leave him alone, but then, he couldn't afford to be seen either. "Aoiro, run! He can use sand and air! Be careful!" Suddenly the dog user saw another attack coming at him. He quickly dodged it, and stared down at the sand clone, there was now two, great. And as if only to add to his horror, the ground was covered in sand. <br/>
<br/>
He had to think quick. He quickly pulled out a small scroll from behind his back, opened it, and ran his bleeding thumb over it. He then formed the proper seals for a summoning jutsu. The small puffs of smoke appeared and the success of the jutsu was evident with three smal,l identical puppies. The Inuzuka's next move was to create another shadow clone. The two clones jumped out of the tree one by one. The first clone threw a kunai at the second sand clone, and the second clone threw a kunai in the direction of the first one. "Go now, Eri!" Kaosu called out to his first pup, pointing tin the direction of the clone. He hoped that his strategy would all fall into place and work out. </span>
