Lynx drew his sword up, the blade colliding with a tri-pronged kunai courtesy of the blonde in front of him. His lips curled into a snarl behind his ceramic mask, and with a growl, he pushed chakra into his arm and launched Minato away. Surprsise flickered in the blonde's eyes as he flipped and landed gracefully on his feet, kunai held defensively in front of him.
"Who are you?" Minato asked in a cold, calm voice, completely devoid of emotion.
"That's none of your concern Namikaze," Lynx snarled, bringing his hands up to form the tiger seal in front of his chest.
He shifted his mask ever so slightly and blew a blazing ball of heat at the blond jounin. At the same time, Wolf had channeled chakra into himself as he let out a great gust of wind, amplifying the fireball hurtling towards the S-rank nin.
Minato gazed straight at the flaming ball of death, before he calmly brought up his kunai, throwing it towards the wind-style user, using the smoke as cover.
A millisecond before the great fire ball was going to char the Konoha nin, he disappeared in a blur of yellow, causing the ball to impact against the trees behind him. It exploded outwards, burning everything within its range to a smoldering crisp.
Smoke permeated the clearing, the only thing protecting the three uzu shinobi was the seals etched onto their masks. Wolf gathered his chakra and released a wave of wind, letting it sweep the stifling smoke from the area. His eyes skimmed the place, but he couldn't see any hint of blond. Wolf turned his gaze to his comrades and saw Bear appear in a shunshin in front of Lynx. Lynx looked up before raising a hand and beckoning him forward.
Wolf was about to comply before a flash of yellow appeared out of the corner of his eyes. He whirled around, already lifting the kunai gripped loosely in his hand, ready for the blond menace heading straight for him.
Or so he thought. Before he knew it, Minato was in front of him, his large, tan hand closing around Wolf's throat, before lifting him up with ease. Wolf turned his head to try and see his team, and that was when Minato used the opportunity to bash his head into one of the rocks jutting out of the ground.
His vision immediately swam and he could feel bile rise up in his throat. It was hard to breathe, his eyes were fluttering, and vaguely, he could make out the slow cracking as his mask broke and fell apart, its pieces littering the ground. Without the mask securing it in place, his hood was caught by the gentle breeze of the wind and was swept off his head, revealing the fiery-red hair of his great clan.
The uzu shinobi will be called their masks name if they have their mask on. They will be called their real name if they don't. Just wanted to say that. Thanks for reading y'all!
