Noting the presence of their leader, the soldiers intensified their assaults. The airborne individuals began firing down on Shirayuri, who dodged as best she could. Meanwhile the woman was tripped up, the kunai striking her in the shoulder and digging in. She staggered and flashed backwards, electricity trailing through the air where she had retreated. Now standing 4 meters away she was not in the path of her comrades, who promptly sent lightning hurtling towards Mayumi from the woman's left.

Meanwhile the two fliers attacked Shirayuri.

Having reached the lightning rod, Shirayuri began her work and was nearly finished with it before she detected a familiar presence. When she noted it falling a sigh left her lips and she knelt down, expanding her aura of flames to block assaults from the airborne shinobi. Preforming handseals and pressing her hands to the ground, she closed her eyes and sent chakra streaking through the ground towards Nobushige's likely point of contact to the ground.

Using her earth affinity, she softened the surface, increasing its elasticity. When Nobushige struck the ground it would have plenty of give. He'd not have much more than a bruise, if that. Once he'd made contact safely the earth would fold around him, creating channels of air elsewhere so he'd not suffocate in the pocket. She reinforced it with wind chakra, that'd help dampen any lightning that their quarries used.

Her attention turning away she finished her work on the lightning rod, taking it out of commission. She rose to her feet and split her attention between her comrade and the descending Kanagata. This was getting [I]very[/I] messy very quickly.

As if to further accentuate her observation, two shinobi descended upon her, one striking with electricity, the other spinning mid air to attempt a kick to her midsection. Responding immediately Shirayuri rolled towards them and thus under both attacks. As she came up she released a blast of wind and whirled her yari, striking towards one of her assailants.

Yup, things had gotten messy.

Her eyes detecting Nobuhige's two compatriots, the Kanagat smiled even as one of them countered her attempt on her former lover's life. Too bad, she'd pursue him another time. Stopping her descent inches from the ground, Kiyome hovered and crossed her arms, a smirk resting on her lips. Her soldiers were doing well. It pleased her.

[color=#AFAF00][B]"Heh, if they can't handle them, then there's hardly a reason for me to lift a finger,"[/B][/color] she mused aloud.
