@SavatoI should have volunteered. Just made it all sensory, medical, and genjutsu.

The ultimate bitch and tool support ninja.

Posted. Let me know if this goes against anything you were doing @Partisan, or if you have complaints about my reaction to the Killing Intent @Savato.

Nori Hisakawa

Red Sages

Nori breathed a small sigh of relief as Lady Tametomo ended it. The commander of the 11th Corps was dead, and the Red Sages had given the Hamajo Confederation a blow that they couldn't brush off so easily. The retreat order was given, and he was more than ready to follow her out and give her his report along the way. He had kept towards the back while the tail end of the fighting occurred, Katsuko and Seijo handling the situation decisively.

Except now, he'd wished he had stayed on the streets, dealing with lesser Confederate shinobi, or even kept getting his ass kicked by Higoho. Because at the moment, he really, really didn't want to be the focus of attention of the enemy General, Yakoul. His gut twisted in an uncomfortable fashion, and the nausea was only made worse by the fact that his side was already bothersome after the Hyuga smacked him. For a moment, he thought the feline had placed him under a genjutsu.

What the hell is wrong? Why is it looking at me like that? Are they going to kill me to avenge the 11th corps commander? I hardly feel like I can move, or breathe...wait. Calm down, Nori. Nori gathered up his thoughts, and rationalized the situation. It was the best way he knew to handle stress, taking in a single, unsteady breath. I don't think I'm under a genjutsu. They aren't attacking me, simply focusing on me out of a crowd. If they do attack and kill me though, then I won't be able to pass on information to Lady Tametomo. The best thing to do right now is to just retreat alongside the rest of the Red Sages. The only control I have over them attacking me is by making myself stand out so they find it worth their time. So, time to just blend in and leave with the others.

Nori quickly turned from Yakoul and leaped after Seijo, who was hopefully willing to fight back if the feline general decided to pursue. He had done his best to suppress the fear of their Killing Intent, and moved on with his duties with a fervor. "Commander Tametomo, I encountered an unusual kekkei genkai during a fight near the back lines of our ranks. I'm not certain if this is a new clan that has allied with the Confederacy, or if it's simply unique to that individual, but by its nature, it could be a threat in the future. I'll explain details later, if you wish." Nori took a glance back, hoping that Yakoul wasn't about to charge after the two of them and turn that killing intent a reality. "There was also a Hyuga present at this festival surprisingly. I only encountered the one, but there could be more. They could track us."

@SavatoSomeone please make some kind of really loud noise so Yakoul doesn't follow me and kill me. I dun wanna die before page 4.

I have a desire to post, but I think I'll wait and see how @Partisan Seijo reacts to Nori's presence. I'm under the impression that the positioning right now is just outside the building on ground level, with Seijo bored behind @j8cob Katsuko, and myself running in from the side. Anyone in that fight is now in front of Katsuko, who is probably very ready to look 'em in the eye and make them cry.

Naruto: True Peace. [ALWAYS ACCEPTING] [Cool guys club inside]

@PartisanI also hope I didn't mess up on anything by retreating over to Seijo. It doesn't seem like it's the first time someone's run over to her (you even said Higoho was just gonna run there, although that would be slower than anyone who had already left). I've only been skimming the posts that weren't in the self-dubbed Mikoto Melee.

Naruto: True Peace. [ALWAYS ACCEPTING] [Cool guys club inside]

@Partisan@texConsidering it's a big pool of silver goop, I'm guessing that if anyone got within the fifteen yards of his thing would still feel "Oh hey, the ground isn't being very ground at the moment." It's why I was making the big subconscious deal about it and making sure I jumped away after putting up the mist. Our positioning wasn't 100% defined in the fight, but it's a pretty big area. It was just that you and I specifically were further away because I took our fight further away.

"I don't think I've been in a fight that bad for a long time. Damn myself; I almost hope the Lady Commander berates me for this one. I feel like such a fool; in the heat of battle, I'd let myself forget about the Hyuga clan and the Byakugan. At least I have the information about that unknown kekkei genkai." Nori was a mess after that fight. The side of his stomach felt like hell, though he didn't feel like he had suffered any permanent damage from the strike besides heavy bruising. He was thankful he didn't try to block it; he probably would have ended up with a broken arm, and to hell with the rest of the mission, and probably his excuse for a career. And then he'd almost gotten himself blown right-the-hell-up after escaping. Did one of them try to escape and trap them? It was a good thing he had brought those clones. The one in front of him had managed to trigger it, and it gave him the window needed to replace himself with the clone behind him.

So now he was down two clones, hurt in the side, and pretty irritated. He wasn't arrogant about his fighting skills though; the Hyuga just had the means to beat him, and he was outnumbered. Hopefully he'd managed to save that redhead. It didn't appear as though he'd been followed though, or if he had, they were taking their sweet time to stop him. A bad idea, as now he had gotten close enough to see the Lady Commander in the midst of a fight. Some kunoichi, some lightning bow. Her pet newt wasn't around for some reason, but it wasn't making much of a difference. The fight was going well in her favor.

He made himself off to the side of the building until the fight subsided, using the time to summon up a spare naginata. They weren't exactly easy to make, but he did keep a few extra for certain situations. It wasn't long until Seijo declared the fight with the girl over, asking Katsuko to step in for her. He was perhaps just as scary as the Lady Commander at times. As soon as the declaration was made though, considering Katsuko was coming in, he made his way out and sprinted towards her. "Lady Commander Tametomo! I have something to report from the back lines!"
