As Akio rushed towards the square, she noticed one of the 11th corp weaving hands seals when sddenly a cat statue made of rock formed from the rubble of the buddha statue. Akio stopped her approach, unsure of the jutsu’s functions, and that proved to be a mistake. As the cat’s paw descended, a strong gust of wind was sent hurtling towards her, smacking into her with enough force to send her hurtling backwards a short distance, as well as locking up her breathing for a short while. She was barely able to avoid the following blast, jumping to the side and entering a nearby building to take shelter from the barrage of air bursts. 

Taking a few seconds to recover, she let out a curse against the fucker who’d put that stupid thing up. Since it was stationary in its position, she’d be able to maneuver around it through the buildings, but that would slow her down by a considerable amount. On the other hand, she could try use the buildings to get closer to the cat, then use her Thunderbolt jutsu to blast it away, possibly along with the 11th corp member who’d cast the jutsu in the first place. [color=Gold][i]Tempting a thought as that may be, it’s probably for the best that I don’t needlessly provoke those guys. They could be coming at us a lot harder than they are, so obviously they aren’t trying to kill us, though needless provocation could change that very quickly.[/i][/color]

[color=Gold][i]But why would the 11th help someone take out the Hokage? Sure he isn’t the best one we’ve had, but his actions hardly warrant their involvement. Whatever’s going on, I just need to get past that fucking cat right now, I can worry about the rest later.[/i][/color]

Plan of action set in her mind, she planned her leaps from building to building(via the windows) in time with the 2 second charge up between the gusts of wind, the closeness of the urban environment helping her greatly in this endeavor. Once she was close enough to the feline construct, she quickly ran through the handseals for her jutsu, charging up the discharge as she waited for the perfect moment. Once the cat unleashed another blast, she sprung into action.

[color=Gold]“Raiton: Thunderbolt Jutsu!”[/color] She cried, unleashing the torrent of lightning straight towards it as it’s hand rose. Again, she focused the thunder bolts on a single target, increasing the damage of the jutsu by a large margin as it smashed into earthen construct. Due to the elemental advantage, the cat was almost as good as destroyed, but at the very least, it would be unable to perform the blast’s anymore, as she’d focused the attack on the point where the arm connected to the rest of the construct. Either way, she’d be able to move on through, but due to the round about way she had taken to get to it, she had taken a good deal longer to get to where she was then she should have. Not too much time, mind you, but enough that she would probably be unable to interfere with whatever the 11th had in store for the Hokage. That didn’t stop her from rushing towards the square, keeping an eye out for any other surprises being sent her way.

Tatsuya jumped at Yamato’s appearance, thinking him to be a secondary foe for a split second before he recognized who it was. A sense of relief flooded the genin’s system as he released a breath he didn’t know he’d been holding, allowing the Jounin to push his blade down and backing up slightly as well. He didn’t sheath his weapon or let his guard down, that would’ve been extremely foolish on his part, but he was feeling a lot better about his chances for survival. 

He only gave a curt nod to the Minomaru, his eyes swiveling to look at Yuna before going back to the cloaked figure. The man’s grin was both intimidating and inspiring, and as he backed away to give the Jounin some room, he couldn’t help having a similar grin creep across his face for a moment, but it was gone as quickly as it had come. The cloaked woman had yet to do anything, seemingly in wait for some sort of signal. Whatever the reason for her lack of action, it prompted a similar response from Yamato, and Tatsuya followed suit, keeping his blade lowered, but ready in case he needed it. He wasn’t planning to directly involve himself in this fight, it was way out of his depth, but he’d provide any assitance he could if given the chance.
