The series of events that had just occurred were certainly unfortunate. Beforehand, she had listened quietly to what the Hokage had to say. His words were foreign to her. Having come from a remote village like Getsugakure made her feel a bit irrelevant to the entire thing. Sure, she was aligned with Konoha now, but there was a sense of detachment between herself and her new home that hadn't quite been stitched just yet. And this feeling was even more perpetuated when the Hokage started calling out names, none of which had been hers. Perhaps he would have gotten to her name, but as everyone saw, he never got the chance. 

She looked on in concern as he knelt down in a sudden on-struck of illness and her watchful countenance caught sight of the slim cloaked figure toss down an Anbu effortlessly into the crowd. [b]"He's dead"[/b], a nearby medical-nin reported immediately. 

From the corner of her eye, she watched through the sudden chaos that had erupted around her as the Hokage ran off wobbly towards the Kage Momument. The cloaked figure trailed behind him, cutting down any Anbu that dared intervene in her mission. Assuming it was a woman by her frame. As the shinobi she had seen before escort his kid-nin to a nearby restaurant, she nodded in satisfied assurance. [i][color=00FA9A]Good, the children are safe. Now onto the more pressing matter.[/color][/i] 

In one movement, the young mother lept over a crowd of citizens being led to safety by a red-headed genin and landed beside a wounded anbu. It amazed her how lacking their shinobi force was in medical-nin. She had expected far more than were present. It was unsettling to some degree. 

Keeping her face relatively blank as she crouched beside the heaving and bleeding anbu, she quickly formed a chakra scalpel and used it to cleanly slice through the anbu's uniform to reveal the deep gash in his chest. He was bleeding immensely. He was certainly on his last leg. Yuna looked at him with soft eyes, though didn't smile. [color=00FA9A][b]"Do not worry my dear. You shall see another day I assure you."[/b][/color]

The Anbu was breathing too heavily to respond. She could feel his heart palpitating dangerously fast as she laid her hands on his bloody chest. And with one hand there, she brought the other to his forehead. After several seconds of maintaining this position, his heart suddenly began to slow and his breathing eased up. His pain, it had been completely numbed. [b]"Thank you"[/b], he awed in immediate relief. The [i]Medical Touch Technique[/i]. Yuna then smiled ever so slightly as she pulled her hands off his body and cupped them together in front of herself. [color=00FA9A][b]"Hm. Its better than morphine and you don't need a prescription."[/b][/color]

As the chaos still unfolded around her, she tried to remain diligently focused on her "patient". One step at a time. From behind her, the ninja who had been with the kids called for her.
 
[b][color=9e0039]“Hey you! Medical nin, come over here and come with us!”[/color][/b]

As his words rang out towards her, a small jellyfish had formed in her cupped palms, its transparent watery body coursing with visible blue coloured chakra. [b][color=00FA9A]"Understood!"[/color][/b], she simply complied. Placing the jellyfish on the wounded Anbu's chest, the tentacles latched into his skin as the chakra from the jellyfish coursed throughout his body and slowly began to heal him. A near fatal gash like that would take some time to completely heal. Luckily her [i]Medical Water Release: Jellyfish[/i] technique allowed her to heal without having to remain on site and exercise unnecessary chakra. [b][color=00FA9A]"Please leave this on your chest until your completely healed. Breathe normally. Move slowly."[/color][/b]

And with that, she lept up from her crouched position and followed alongside the ninja with the scars on his face. Beside him was a red-headed ninja. Neither of them she recognized. She stayed quiet, as she liked to do, and remained alert to retrieve her orders.
