Before he gets out he Swears

The alarm sounded soon after he escaped, he had been marking every turn he took using the Finger Carving Seal Jiraya had taught him as an exercise in fine chakra control, scoring the corners of every wall. He could hear a group approaching, he quickly adhered himself to the wall climbing a few feet off the ground. Once he was deep enough in the shadows of the darkly lit base he weaved a set of signs, taking a deep breath he hoped would last long enough. When he’d read about the Hiding in Shadows Technique he didn’t think it would be used to hide from kidnapers but if it got the results he needed he wouldn’t complain.

The group passed by a few seconds later, he counted four of them, he couldn’t tell what they were talking about. They passed by soon enough, once they rounded the corner he let out the breath he’d been holding and let himself fall back to the ground. He made sure to land softly, and his sandals made only the softest clack on contact, this effort was clearly a waste he discovered as all four of them were pointing kunai down at him in a square formation. Still trying to catch his breath he resolved to master his chakra suppression technique before he got out of this place.

“It’s time to give up child, you have no hope against us.” The voice was female, it seemed to belong to the one standing at his left back side. He had to weigh his options quickly, he might still be able to get out of this if they were expecting him to be unskilled. They would probably confiscate his weapons and tie his hands if he just gave up. At the very least he needed it to be harder to reach him.

Choice made, as he stood he weaved the Snake Sign. “Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave.” from his mouth massive amounts of water spilled out, filling the hallway to where his hips would be were he not using chakra to stand on the water. The root members all jumped to higher ground, standing on the rock walls of the corridor, again Silver formed the Snake Sign “Earth Release: Reverse Antion.” The stone wall around two of the Root members became like mud, quickly it crawled up their bodies and solidifying around their chests. The other two jumped away landing back on the water and rushing at him from either side while the others watched from their trapped positions wondering how they'd been caught by a child and what the punishment for it might turn out to be.

Pulling out two kunai, he made a dash towards the one facing him, when the space between him and the Female Root member was scarce Silver let his chakra hold on the water loosen. He slipped beneath the surface, gliding underneath her, sticking his kunai out to slash at her Achilles Tendons. The sickening sight of her tendons recoiling insider of his opponent made him gag, but he had no time to worry for one of his captors. Reemerging from beneath the water to face the remaining Anbu member was still coming at him, shuriken flying at him with great speed. He had been taught a water jutsu that could create a wall of defensive water, but there wasn’t time for the signs. Silver chose instead to pool chakra into his foot, slamming it into the water. This caused the liquid to surge upward and disrupted the trajectory of the flying weapons just enough that they slipped passed him.

The Root Member came rushing through the water, a kunai breaking through first, thrust at him. Silver shifted his stance and weight, the blade lopped off a chunk of his hair but didn’t manage to touch him. He jumped up, wrapping his legs around the arm holding the knife, using his core so carry his momentum further upward, turning in the air to throw his two kunai at the older ninja. The man jumped backwards, avoiding the kuani as he tried to locate the boy by the sound of his sandals slapping against the wall. He’d just caught a glimpse of the child shinobi on the wall running upward at an angle when the boy jumped at him, feet outward to kick him. The older boy caught Silver by his calves, tossing him with enough force that he skids on the water, channeling his chakra into his hands and feet to slow and stop himself, looking back up at the older boy from his crouched position.
