Kazuki and his team rested for a few minutes before deciding to hunt for other teams.
Kazuki sensed that the team closest to them was a Sunagakure team so they started moving in that direction.
On their way they encountered a bear that had some strange crystal like think attached on his shoulders, it was like it had grown there naturally.
Kazuki said, "I can Sense chakra in those crystals and it's a large amount as-"
Before Kazuki could finish his sentence, the bear let out a battle cry and rushed at Ryuma with its large and sharp claws.
Ryuma unsheathed his blade and clashed it with the bear's claws.
The bear was pushing Ryuma back with its claw when Ryuma sidestepped and charged at the bear's head, cutting it off in a single slash and sheathing his sword back.
Kazuki thought, 'Woah! When did Ryuma get this strong? My eyes could barely follow his movements when he sidestepped and cut off the bear's head.'
Yuki said, "Woah! That was great, Ryuma."
Ryuma said, "Thanks but I'm wondering why my sword couldn't cut through his claws?"
Kazuki answered, "It's because that bear was somehow using chakra flow."
Yuki said, "It probably has something to do with those crystals."
Kazuki walked towards the bear's dead body and removed the crystals from the bear's shoulders.
He said, "I can't sense chakra in them anymore."
Kazuki put them in one of his storage scrolls and they continued moving towards the closest team.
After around an hour they almost arrived at the location and now even Yuki could sense them.
Kazuki asked Yuki, "Do you think they have a sensory type ninja?"
Yuki replied, "Probably not because they haven't made any suspicious movements till now."
"Let's increase our pace then." Kazuki said.
They increased their speed and after a few minutes, they were almost at their destination.
The Suna team were now within their eyesight when Kazuki and Yuki suddenly sensed their chakra fields sensing them.
Kazuki thought, 'I guess they have a sensor but his range is very small.'
One of the Suna Genin said, "Come out, we know you are here."
Ryuma and Yuki came out of hiding but Kazuki stayed hidden and took a rotation to their back while staying hidden.
The other Genin said to his teammates, "Didn't you say there were 3 people?"
The sensor replied, "Yeah, there were but now I can sense only 2 of them."
Yuki interrupted their conversation and replied, "I'm sorry but it looks like our teammate ran away, he was too afraid to fight, I believe."
The Suna Genin mocked, "Pfft! What a coward but we are not gonna show mercy just because you are only two people."
The three Genins took out their weapons and were ready to fight when suddenly the leader sensed some movement behind him. He turned around and saw that Kazuki's sword was already at his neck.
Kazuki said coldly, "Drop your weapons or this sword will go straight through your neck."
The leader immediately dropped his weapons on the ground with a terrified expression but his other two teammates didn't.
Kazuki grazed the sword to his neck, drawing some blood.
The leader screamed and said, "What are you doing, idiots? Didn't you hear him? Drop your weapons!"
The two ninjas dropped their weapons as well. Their leader said, "P-please don't kill us, we'll do anything. We'll even give you our scrolls."
Kazuki said, "Just give us your scrolls and I'll let you live."
The leader said, "It's in my bag, let me take it out."
Kazuki lowered his sword and the Genin opened his bag and started searching for the scroll.
After a few moments, the Genin took out a kunai from his bag and was about to stab Kazuki when he felt a kick in his gut.
He was knocked a few feet from there and his kunai dropped in the other direction.
Kazuki walked towards the kunai and picked it up. "Poison kunai, huh! A specialty of Sunagakure."
Kazuki flicked the kunai at the Genin who had fallen on the ground.
The Genin was too terrified to even dodge, so the kunai pierced his skull.
Kazuki looked at the other 2 Genin, but they were already killed by Ryuma and Yuki, they even found their scrolls.
Kazuki also found the scroll of his opponent.
Yuki had noticed that Kazuki could also erase his chakra signature but kept quiet, thinking he wanted to hide it from others.
They stopped for a break and ate some nutrition bars.
Kazuki closed his eyes to sense the location of other teams.
He opened his eyes and said, "Guys, the 2nd Konoha team is heading our way and they are very close. They also seem to be using a ninja dog to specifically track us. What do you think is the best course of action for us? Can we trust them?"
Yuki said, "I think we should confront them and ask what they want. It's unlikely that they will attack their fellow team but if they do, then I am pretty sure we will be able to handle a Genin team quite easily."
Kazuki and Ryuma nodded.
After a few minutes the Konoha team arrived, they were trying to hide themselves when Kazuki said, "Come out, we have already sensed you."
Their leader, Isamu Inuzuka, came forward. He had a mask on his face and his clothes were also different.
Isamu signaled his teammates to attack and shuriken came out of a bush but Kazuki's team dodged easily.
What followed that was terrifying, it was a dragon made of fire making its way towards Yuki. The Fire Dragon was also enhanced using wind-style Jutsu.
