Kabuto had heard the scuffle long before anything had occured. Actually interested in this one, he had simply used the body flicker technique only to come to the end. Eyes focusing on the two nin slowly departing a slight snort surmounted at who was going to intercept them. It was a rouge, or seemed so. The facial features gave it away, another S-rank criminal. What exactly was Zabuza doing in this position? Wait, a hunter-nin had been sighted here as well. Could the jonin be searching for a fight or simply passing through to fetch his ward? Kabuto had slowly eased toward the fallen ninja staring at the Hyuuga's severe wounds. Easing a hand fourth he began removing the weapons planted within him without a real care. Etching his finger along the more serious wound a sudden flare of green announced his chakra easing fourth. This was simply a means of sealing his identity really. If even the slightest notion of him being a traitor was announced then he would have to leave. The chakra slowly eased into the Hyuuga the more lethal injuries covering themselves up. The nin continued doing so awaiting for someone to take this little thing off him.

(Sorry Chakra, I'll give them back momentarily)
Kiba awoke suddenly. Both he and Akamaru had smelt the scent of blood in the air. Kiba and Kankuro had been resting in a tree outside the gate of Konohagakure. Akamaru began barking, which woke up a grumpy Kankuro. He rubbed his eyes and said "Damn it can't you keep your dog quiet Konohan?" Then he saw the look in Kiba's eyes. He was serious.
"What is it?" Kankuro asked looking around.
"Someone is hurt inside Konoha- No, several people." He said sniffing. He stood up, and grabbed his hooded jacket. Not bothering to put the hood on, he jumped out of the tree and landed swiftly in mid-run.
"Hang on!" Kankuro said, after securing Karasu and Kuronue on his back. He jumped down as well, chasing after him.

After getting inside Konoha, they realized eerily that no one was anywhere to be found.
"Where is everyone?" Kankuro asked to Kiba, who was running alongside him.
"I don't know. But if you ask me, this is a bad sign." Kiba said with Akamaru sitting on his head.
"Right here!" Kiba said pointing to an alley up ahead. Kiba ran faster and turned into it. It was then he saw the 2. His friend Hyuuga Neji was being helped by a medical nin. Kankuro had just turned the corner and spotted them as well.
"It's that genin- the genius!" Kankuro pointed out the obvious. Akamaru barked at the medical nin, causing Kiba to look up at his dog and ask "What is it akamaru?" That was when they all heard another scuffle. It was some ways away, and Kankuro spotted a giant of man, weilding a giant sword to match his height. Kankuro grabbed for Karasu and ran after him, and ignored Kiba when he called for him to stop.
"Damn it," Kiba began. He turned towards the medical ninja who was healing Neji, and asked "What happened to him?" The medical ninja began to speak, but Akamaru growled again.
Kiba began to speak again as he said "Akamaru stop wit-" Then his eyes darkened. The scent was familiar. Flashback to the chuunin exam finals. Kiba was attacked by a masked medical nin. The same one.
He clenched his fists tightly and said "Get away from Neji!" Not sure of what his next move would be.
