Shadows Contest with Dragons

It had been a long journey and Itsuki and other member of the Dragon Force were two hours inside the Land of Lightning. Currently they were mid way up a steep and wooded mountain.

It was around then that, Itsuki had the uneasy feeling that he was being watched. His nervousness showed by the slight decrease of his walking pace. The only one who noticed was Mikuru. "You should take a different route than me, meet me in Kumogakure." Mikuru and the other member of the Dragon Force nodded before using the Body Flicker Technique to make a quick get away.

Once, Itsuki was alone he continued walking. Five minutes pasted before the first Black Zetsu appeared. Itsuki quickly unsheathed his sword and cut the Zetsu down. A second pasted before two more appeared, and he was able to take down those just as quickly. Over time more and more Black Zetsu appeared, and when a minute had pasted he found himself surrounded by a lot of Black Zetsus.
