24 BSNW CH 022 First Crushing Defea (1/2)

Jun searched his mind for every possible escape solution. At least this Alternate body of his in the dungeon was free from worries so he could use Ninjutsu. But one the downside, he didn't have access to Nature energy which severely limited his biggest weapon, his plant release. Without it he would have to rely on Ninjutsu he wasn't proficient with. But at least something was better than nothing. When he started to gather chakra, the fox gave a roar which disrupted his chakra flow momentarily and canceled his jutsu formation.

”You want to fight against me? Very well, I see that your stupidity knows no bounds. Deal with these first then” fox raised its hand shaped claw and made a one handed tiger sign ”Nine masked beasts!” Nine long strands of hair dropped down from its tail, one from each. The strands formed humanoid figures as they fell down, each with a fox mask on their face and a tail longer than their body sprouting behind them. Each of them was approximately two meters long but had a lean yet powerful figure. They all wore black kimonos that fit them well without hindering their movement. As they fell they shifted their position while in the air, forming a wide area formation with a Hexagon surrounding a Triangle; i.e. six outside and three inside. The fox stretched out its finger and stabbed a nail into the earth. Dragging it around Jun and the rest in a huge circle, making an impromptu battle ring. Only difference was that the border of this ring was a surrounded by a deep hole.

”Come one then, let's see what you are made of. Years of this hellhole without much entertainment, I am fed up. Nine masked beasts, attack!” Fox

Jun was surrounded by the three masked beasts forming the triangle rushing towards him for close combat. They had great speed and strength, had Jun been in his original damaged body, this fight would be impossible. Now at least he could respond. Since Jun didn't have access to nature energy, he activated Sensing Hexagram Seal and his Observation skill at maximum alert. He saw flashes of movement before feeling an unnatural chill on his spine.

He felt a foot with the toughness of a brick smash into his back and was thrown forward like a puppet with his string cut. As he struggled to get himself under controlled a clothes line attack {TL: Lariat for those who like that better} smashed into him from the front throwing him back again.
