Two of their number seemed to make the decision to follow Sho to his side of the room, allowing Umechika to have her way with the remaining crowd. Of course, if they had been smart, they would have focused on the nearest person to their collective, all swarming Umechika and leaving Sho as little better than useless. He only had so many kunai after all, but it seemed these guys were far too interested in continuing the fight to think clearly.
It was clear that whatever fervent madness had gripped these lot, it was painted and speckled red with blood. Their bloodthirst was almost palpable, even ignoring the viscera surrounding them. Without questioning, or really thinking, the pair shot towards Sho, swinging what appeared to be daggers at his frame. Well, he called them daggers, they were little better than butcher's cleavers, only just sharp enough to cut and rusty with assorted blood and effluvia.
If one of those things so much as grazed him, he was pretty sure he was going to get tetatnus.
Fortunately for Sho, their skill in battle was as rusty as their blades were dull. They were operating off of mad instinct, not actual training - in that way, fighting Mitsuki and Risi had been more of a challenge than these guys were, and they were genin. Stepping back as one swung their blade, it shot through the air and went wild, instead slashing across their "friend"'s arm, cutting a nasty gash.
Taking advantage of the sudden moment of friction and discord between the supposed allies, Sho shot back in, drawing one of his remaining kunai and going straight for the throat of the uninjured man. With but a slight amount of resistance, the knife found its place, slicing cleanly into the man's jugular vein. One of the many benefits of the Yamamoto's tremorsense was being able to parse one's anatomy with but a bit of concentration, so he was able to see their veins and arteries pulsing through their body with slick, wet beats of their hearts.
Thinking about it too long was a little nauseating, but it seemed the first man's slice had all but crippled his companion's arm, causing him to drop the knife. If he thought that being unarmed would earn him a reprieve, however, he would soon find himself proven quite bloodily wrong as Sho instead simply used the same kunai to slash across the other's throat.
A shower of gore splattered across Sho's frame and painted his usual fastidiously clean face with the man's lifeblood. Yet, unlike his Shitai companion who likely would have delighted in the morbid shower, Sho seemed if anything unbothered by it. He was used to being coated in blood whilst working in the hospital, and whilst he didn't have the benefits of scrubs he could take off and burn afterwards, it was a trivial thing. It probably wasn't a coincidence that the cloak that he was draped in was particularly easy to wash stains from.

After he had finished his pair, Sho eventually rejoined his companion. From what he could tell, it seemed she had been busy, rendering the rest of the group into little more than meat to add to the pile they had amassed already. Ironically, Sho had to admit that he was impressed by Umechika's generosity - one man probably would have been enough to get the answers they were looking for, but she had left two alive.
"Well now, you're giving me the honors of the interrogation? I'm touched." He said, turning his face towards the girl in question. Painted in his tremorsense like this, he could see the frantic, panicked beating of her trembling heart, seeming almost more like a defenseless prey animal in front of a predator than the bloody-handed cultist she actually was. He might have even felt pity for her, had her crimes not guaranteed her a death sentence in any court in the world.
"Okay, so I'm going to make this transparently clear; My companion and I," Sho gestured back towards the Shitai.
", are here to wipe out this little cult of yours. Now, that can either be because you're rotting behind bars in a Kumogakure jail cell, or it can be because you're all dead.
Frankly, you'll probably be sentenced to execution anyway so I'm not particularly fussed, but if you want to stretch it out for every breath you can take? Well, I'd advise you start talking." The girl nodded frantically, perhaps believing that she might get off lighter with but a life sentence or even maybe one day earning parole if she talked compared to the certainty of death if she didn't.
"What's with the meat - Why did you turn this place into a charnel house? Where did you even get this much? I'm assuming at least some of its human, but what about the rest? I'm hoping you're gonna tell me you've been killing cows or something..."
