A Family Rivalry Rekindled: Kiba Uchiha vs. Taro Hyūga

Taro Hyūga was on his first solo mission after being promoted to Chūnin status, far out in the mountains past the Land of Fire. Now that his team all had members chūnin rank or higher, Team Neji was formally disbanded and the group were considered equals. Taro was walking along a dirt path towards a grassy mountain to the west. He was given a mission to crush a group of rebels harming some people in a village on the mountain. Taro disliked violence, but he disliked people who reveled in causing harm more. This was a perfect chance to showcase his skills.
