All around, the battle continued to rage. While a few of the ninjas are down, the majority of them are still in the midst of the fray, and a number of the warriors had been knocked unconscious. But the fiercest battle, by far, is going on around Kobatsu. The two incarnations of Leviathan are engaged in a brutal match, neither able to gain a decisive advantage; the seemingly psychotic Shadow Mode Testament is attacking relentlessly head on, while Hisame Shizumaru is adding even more pressure from the side. The ninja master is being hard pressed on all fronts; though he is able to keep up, it's becoming more and more difficult due to his wounds and rising fatigue. Finally, he begins to near his breaking point...with a puff of smoke, he pulls the classic ninja teleportation art, teleporting behind Testament a short distance. Using the moments he has before his foes are able to reorient and resume their onslaught, he prepares his most suitable art.

"Kikaku Ken no Jutsu!"

As Testament completes his turn, Kobatsu is moving in. His hands lash out with blinding speed, forefinger and pinky extended on both hands as he goes for a devastating series of rapid blows to the nerve centers located in the shoulders and neck. But his blows strike only air. Before he is able to change his attack, Testament has reformed behind him...he sweeps his scythe low, catching Kobatsu in the back of his legs and sweeping his feet out from under him. Testament spins his scythe in his hand...as soon as the high ranking ninja hits the ground, he immediately begins to roll, trying to come to his feet. But before he can get far, the butt end of Testament's scythe has slammed down into Kobatsu's solar plexus. He grunts in pain...

"ENOUGH!!"

Kobatsu's voice, though a bit raspy, rings out over the whole battlefield. Both sides stop for an instant, hesitating at the immense authority in that voice; even Testament hesitates. And that's all the time that Kobatsu needs. In a puff of smoke, the ninja master has disappeared, and reappeared in the midst of the battlefield.

"Ninja...WITHDRAW!"

The ninja, after yet another moment of initial hesitation, do so. Those still standing gather the few unfortunate enough to have been incapacitated...they retreat, heading out through the doorways. Kobatsu lingers a moment, saying one last thing before also heading out.

"...not bad."

And then he too departs, leaving the exhausted combatants to relish their victory. Those among them who were still conscious, anyway.

---

Later that day, in the Hokage's inner sanctum, again the Lord Daisetsu is engaged in discussion with the ninja master. Daisetsu seems noticably more tired, and Kobatsu is still speaking with a bit of a rasp.

"So, I take it that our warriors' performance was acceptable?"

"...you have done well. Your warriors have proven their strength to my satisfaction. You will have my support, Daisetsu."

"I thank you."

"Before you move on, though...you may wish to consider pausing and resting awhile. You are tired, and surely the rest of you could use a bit of a breather as well. Speed is vital to war...but one must be careful that speed does not become recklessness."

"...I shall keep that in mind."

And with that, Daisetsu rises and takes his leave.

Round 3 is now officially over.
