"I won't allow you to hurt my children"o---ooo------------------o----------------------ooo------------------o----------------------ooo---o
Yuna remained quiet as Yamato explained the situation between himself, Daiki, and Saburo. She opted to not give her two cents. She was intuitive, like a mother's instinct and sighed softly as she could tell he was the type of individual who didn't like people imposing their own opinions onto topics that didn't involve them. Yuna knew well enough that this wasn't the moment to perpetuate it.
So they do have a history. This is indeed very off...She had been blessed to have never been in a situation where she was at complete odds with someone else on the battlefield, and not just anyone, someone who supposedly used to be a comrade, a friend.
As they arrived at the square, Yuna watched cautiously at the cloaked woman as she slowly inched her way over to Tatsuya, bubble-pipe firmly in hand and her eyes never leaving the cloaked individual who had the Hokage under complete domination. Instinctively, she placed her tense body a bit of in front of the young genin who happened to be there, her own feelings as a mother taking over, and enticing her to feel the need to distance him from the main danger, like a mother bear protecting her cubs.
"I just wanted to tell you that I saw what you did back there. Helping the citizens to safety. That was very diligent of you my dear", she encouragingly said to the genin. Though she didn't look back as she said it, her words radiated with a motherly warmth.
Being a genin wasn't the most appreciated ranking, and she knew she wanted to provide maternal encouragement to anyone when she deemed it appropriate. Everyone's involvement, big and small, was a special piece to the overall solution. Everyone was important. And she just wanted him to know that.
"But please stay alert love. We do not quite know who we are dealing with", referring to the cloaked assailant.
Her body tense and grounded, she stood firm, keeping her complete focus on the woman in front, as others began to arrive as well, two girls, and even someone with a dog. But it wasn't their presences she was worried about. It was who appeared up ahead.
First another individual appeared, some figure wearing a trench coat and a mask. Based off of his behavior, he wasn't an ally. But then shortly after, an ally did revive?
Wait, is that Mr. Maru? He's a ninja?. Yuna nearly choked on her spit as she swallowed out of complete confusion. Mr. Maru was a regular(if
@j8cob approves) at the Hojo Bathhouse and Inn. She often found his presence, though without the unnecessary smoking, pleasantly enjoyable. A relaxed, yet cleverly humorous atmosphere was created whenever he visited. She had no idea he was of such a high caliber. A sudden relief washed over as his sudden appearance eased some of her worry. But of course, not enough, because she quickly prioritized her focus back to the two assailants, even as she overheard the conversation going on between the girls behind her, but also that of a new voice that had arrived.
She glanced back briefly.
"Hoi! Think that through before you say things like acting reckless, this guy is on a whole nother level and im sure he knows all about every single one of us. Anything you throw at him, he'll probably know how to get around, or be ready for it, something likes this isn't planned without much preparation.", the Jonin level Hyuuga rebuddled to their idea.
"Unfortunately, he is right.", she chimed logically, looking back forward.
"These individuals are not like the petals of a flower. They are like the roots of an ancient tree. Firm, steady, and strong. If we are to get the Hokage away from them, a very precise and coordinated plan of action is going to have to be formulated. And soon. I assume I'm the only medical-nin here, so if a fault occurs...I surely cannot heal everyone".
She froze as an unsettling and cryptic set of two simple words could be heard from in front of them.
"It's Time."Yuna focused her eyes like a hawk. She appeared so focused and determined, it was almost a little intimidating, maybe scary even.
"We must fight this adverse fate", she addressed to everyone around her that could hear her, fiddling her bubble-pipe between her fingertips as though she were completely prepared to use it if necessary.
"We need a plan".
"Now".
