[u]Kumogatarui Dobustu - What in the world is that thing!?[/u]

The mission had gone successfully, it lead to a nice and dearly needed boost to Kumoga's meek confidence, as a matter of fact she was out of the house for the time being with a few of her spiders clinging to her lengthy pigtails. Of course she knew they were there, so it wasn't like they were going to scare her or anything, but funnily enough it lead to some people keeping their distance... Not that she minded, it was nice to be undisturbed as she roamed the village, there were less other genins around due to the exams that were taking place and the Mizukage herself even went to go watch it play out.

There was a tense air around for a moment, like something was about to happen, but Kumoga didn't pick up on it until the entire village was awash with a massive, frightening level of killing intent... She couldn't even make herself turn to run as it weighed down on her, her spiders dropping from her hair and fleeing... All she could do was stand there, practically frozen by the ill will harboured by the unidentified source. The sound of buildings smashing and people screaming were in the distance, just before the beast released it's acid, a large blob of it splashing and melting a building across the street from her.

Why couldn't she move? She had to try and get away before it hit her too, that one blob was close enough to be a danger anyway, but she couldn't make her legs go... Why wasn't she running away? Just why?

There was a small glob of the acidic gunk flying her way, she barely turned her head in time to see it before she found herself grabbed and pulled away into someone's arms, the sudden jerk of motion brought her about her senses for now and she found herself in her father's arms. [b]"F-Father? What is happening!?"[/b] Her father, a shinobi of Kiri known as Sasori, shook his head slightly as he began to speak. [i]"I do not know the details, but Kirigakure is under attack... Looked like a giant slug to me."[/i]

[b]"A slug? But look at that!"[/b] Urgently the little kunoichi pointed at the half-melted building.

[i]"I know... That part makes less sense than the size of the beast itself."[/i] The comment earned a confused look from Kumoga. [i]"Think of it as being much bigger than a building."[/i] The girl was in awe at that suggestion of size. [b]"There's nothing that big, let alone a slug!"[/b]
[i]"Obviously it is no ordinary slug then... We should get back home, it will be safer there."[/i] Sasori was quick to take off towards their home, the further from the slug and it's acid the better, although it's corrosive sludge was easily able to reach any corner of the village.

Whilst Kumoga felt brave, she looked back to where it was all originating. [b]"Father... Should we not try to help? Maybe try to slow or restrict this... slug, with our webbing?"[/b]

[i]"I dislike the idea, it's body may very well be as acidic as what it's flinging around the village... your mother and I could not allow ourselves, let alone you, to try such a thing."[/i] A frown appeared at the rejection of the idea, although he was very correct in his concerns, so she had no real reason to frown like she was. She simply nodded now and they were soon upon the house. Her mother, Cho, flung the door open upon seeing their return and shut it behind them.

[i]"We should be safe for now, it hasn't reached this area of the village with it's attacks yet... Be prepared to escape just in case."[/i] Her father was clear in instruction and they started to make preparations for an imminent acid attack... Granted there wasn't much they could do, but having a plan was better than no plan.
