"Sunagakure's people are here, right outside the inn. There are about five of them."
Kawaki Aoba spoke quickly.
Kakashi's gaze sharpened as he immediately said, "I'll notify Sasuke and Sakura. Stay here and keep watch."
Kawaki Aoba nodded, returned to his room, took out a kunai, and prepared for battle.

Blue lightning gathered in Kawaki Aoba's hand as he slashed at one of the Sunagakure ninja.

Caught completely off guard, the Sunagakure ninja were thrown into disarray.
One Sunagakure ninja was struck directly by the Lightning Blade and died
