[sub]The Hamajõ Confederation[/sub][/color][/center][hr]
Kaori swiftly realized something interesting: This boy wasn't weak and she was right, he was indeed a threat. If there wasn't a mist troubling her sharingan's chakra-seeing, she'd understand how to counter him better, but right now, she was only relying on her increased reflexes and perception to deal with him. He had ease blocking her attacks and was similarly fast in delivering a counter-attack, apparently aiming his staff towards her head, but not with the intent of killing her, so it seemed. Then, he began to speak while moving his staff dangerously close to her.

[color=ed1c24]"Hey, hey, pretty girl. How about we stop this foolishness? We are both too beautiful to be going against each other. We should just lay down our arms and go on a date together. You are still young but I'm sure we can manage. Otherwise, I'm going to be ahead of you."[/color]

Now, listening to something like this in a battlefield was strange. Was he really flirting her? Right [b]here[/b]? Was he even taking this seriously? No, there was no way he could. He was likely insane, thrown within the Red Sages by accident or another mean, an unfortunate disturbed man that got caught in the middle of war. Or perhaps, this was the Red Sages itself, materialized in front of her; a bunch of lustful, violent lunatics that fought for something they believed - even though it was fake in it's entirely, a fake dream implanted on their minds by their leaders, who's only ambition was power and once they achieved that, those poor lunatics would find themselves disposed in a deep pit.

This particular fool would find himself disposed sooner than them, and by Kaori herself. She was determined now. With her blade, she swept his staff to the side while leaping back, in a single motion, she sheathed her blade, certainly she had done this countless times as it seemed extremely natural and fluid, the same way her hands did when she raised them slightly to form three handseals, in a flash; tiger, boar, dragon. The movement was so quick, that by the time she finished, her feet touched the ground after the leap. 

In order to finish the jutsu, she took a deep breath and expelled a gray smoke from her mouth - it divided in two, and each direction moved in opposite ways, only to reunite briefly after, forming a circle, likely around Mikoto unless he had moved. Then, the smoke ignited onto a fire, but it wasn't an offensive ninjutsu or anything of the sort - it was a distraction, and of course, a genjutsu. It was simple: The fire's heat would slowly induce whoever felt it into a genjutsu that made the heat increase, until it became unbearable.

... At the same time, a strange sound reached Kaori's ears. She couldn't tell what was it, but it made her head hurt, her vision became slightly blurry, even with the sharingan. Soon after, she couldn't see clearly at all, as if the world was having many layers of itself, becoming extremely hard to dintinguish what was it. [i]What the hell? Have I been caught in a genjutsu as well? This is bad...[/i]

Having no idea of what was the source of that and thus, no idea of how to deal with it, made Kaori fear an unexpected outcome. Her own death, for example. The sound was becoming louder, and her desire to break free from it was increasing as well - she looked down at her own arms, her motor skill slowly dimishing, making it almost impossible to raise her hand and attempt to flow an impulse of her own chakra through herself in order to break free. [i]Is this.. the end?[/i]
