The next room was different. More expansive as rolling hills of sand were between him and a door on top of a dune. Here stood two squads of genin. Eight in total all already casting ninjutsu. However even as earth and wind were hurled towards Tadara or rather the owl from eight sources they hadn't bothered to spread out or time it so the jutsu at C rank speed were easy to avoid. The owl would release a swarm of bees from under his cloak to close the distance as he avoided the attacks with only the movement needed. The artificial sun was surprisingly hot so he was conserving energy for the time being. Still he would note a pause in the jutsu and move to close the distance as the screaming started. By the time he was upon the genin the venom had done its job and they were all sluggish at best. He would collect one of their weapons and set about dispatching them with severed heads in a matter of a couple of minutes. With their heads layed randomly in the sand he kept the straight sword and move through the door.

The next room was an enclosed dome. It appeared to be a barracks of sorts that had been used by rebel forces. He recalled this location. He had discovered it housing some refugee older citizens from the purge. He recalled there being four chunnin who had fought valiantly against their jounin forces and even took one down. Tadara would be more cautious than that Jounin had been however. Tadara would immediately use hiding in camouflage and erase his presence from the naked eye before moving to the far wall to the left. Even as he did he would note the wave of sand crash into the door where he had been. Magnet release. He had examined the body and determined that had been the cause of death. Still the four chunnin would emerge as they searched for him. Three of them armed and one with outstretched hands to control the sand. Moving it around to locate the invisible target.  Unfortunately Tadara had found them first. Moving into position to stab the straight sword into their neck from behind before moving onto the next. With their main weapon dispatched the other three panicked. Allowing Tadara to pick them off one at a time with a series of precise cuts to vital spots. With that done a tag would appear and a door to the next room.

The next room was a temple of all things. Some ancient place that had long since lost its purpose and following. Still this was a sacred land to one clan. The Fujio. Their ancient belief in a sun god granting their bloodline power had been unique. Still he would note the two special jounin in temple garb and that the temple itself seemed to be in excellent repair. His Owl garb was gone and had been replaced with more ancient clothing. So the castle could pick events in time beyond his lifetime. His honeyed eyes would search through the scorch release users as they both created orbs floating around themselves. He was a trespasser and they wouldn't let him leave. The level of heat they were putting off wasn't ideal for him either. However he was not without his means. Quietly he would form the hand signs before white feathers began to fall. He would keep his distance as they charged him however. Avoiding them and stalling them with wax clones that would die and turn to hardened wax with no moisture upon contact with the orbs. However the orb like suns would falter and fail before the two fell asleep. Allowing Tadara to land between them and sever their heads. Collecting another tag and moving to the final door of the floor.

As patterns held Tadara would prepare for the last opponent. Using pressure strikes on his legs he would increase his speed. With that he would move in at full speed and began his evasive maneuvers. Of all the things he had expected as he dodged the first attack he had not expected a dual bloodline. Both prominent bloodlines of Sunagakure were within the one masked woman as she attacked with something similar to crystal release. Waves of glass chased Tadara as he moved through an open long street. The scorch release had turned the sand to glass and now she used it to attempt to kill him. He released his bees as she created orbs around herself. Burning them as they got close. However he snuck a false surroundings technique into the mix. He felt the connection and hid some of the bees. By the time she felt the stings the venom had taken effect before Tadaras pressure points wore off. She stumbled and attempted to keep up with him. Sending sun orbs and glass after him at the same time as the buildings were protected by the glass but the stands in the street lit on fire. However she was much too slow now to keep up with Tadara. A straight sword was flung at her from near point blank range unexpectedly and caught her in the eye. She screamed as she released her sun orbs on accident. Before Tadara was upon her. Shoving her with a medical scalpel to the back of bother of her tendons on the back of her leg. Normally she would have been able to resist him but without the use of her legs she plunged into her own glass wall. Puncturing her front side in multiple places and shredding the flesh. Letting her bleed out as he collected the tag and moved on.
