[h1]Akio Tendou[/h1]
[hr]Hamajo Confederate, Engaging Rebels[hr]

Akio cursed under her breath as her opponent escaped using Substitution jutsu. The white haired jounin didn't have much time to wonder about where she went, as the rebel leader had appeared above withheld fist drawn back to deliver a punch to her head. Not much for Taijutsu in the best of circumstances, Aiko quickly dodged away from the attack, just barely avoiding the hit by the skin of her teeth. And by the looks of the damage she did to the roof with the punch, it was quite the strike. 

She didn't have time to rest, however, as she was soon faced with a hail of shurikens hurtling towards her as she backed away. Luckily, the building wasn't very large and this she fell over the side of the building, flipping over in the air until she landed on the ground below, reinforcing her legs with chakra to ensure they could withstand the force of the fall. She had barely caught the silverette's words, but she'd heard enough to get rather annoyed with this younger woman. While she was still hidden behind the building , she ran through a stream of hand seals before holding her hands out in front of her. Heat would soon gather and intensify between her outstretched appendages until she held a glowing sphere of raw heat and energy in her hands, the orange orb pulsating with barely contained power.

Now ready to engage, Akio would run out to engage the enemy once again, focusing on Seijo specifically. Her plan was to rush in and smash this orb right into the woman's back, but if anyone got in her way as she made her way forward, she'd be quick to hit then in her place, smacking the orb into them to release the devastating shockwave of heat and power, likely to send the culprit and anyone within the 5m blast radius flying away from her and surely leaving then with more than a slight burn to remember her by.

"Katon: Shatter Force!"

After launching the attack against Seijo or her underlings, Akio would maneuver attempt to maneuver her away around any who's been able to withstand the blast or defend against it, ultimately resulting to Substitution if need be with the leader herself, before running through another set of hand seals.

"Ration: Thunderbolt!"

She'd cry out as electricity gathered in her hands before shooting out to strike at evey Red Sage outside of the building with dozens of lightening bolts. After launching the attack, she'd be a little fatigued, the use if several jutsu tiring her a bit, but she'd be ready to react to whatever these rebels through at her next She also couldn't help but respond to Seijo earlier comment as well.

"Funny, you took the words right out of my mouth, Seijo. Though I must say, considering what I heard about your late-brother, I was expecting something . . . more. I wonder if you're even half the commander he was, though that didn't get him very far, did it?" She'd spit the woman's name out mockingly before turning to look over at Yakoul, who she had just noticed, an irritated expression spreading across her features as she sent a light glare their way. "Anytime you want to step in would be much appreciated, Yakoul [sub]Lazy psychotic cat bastard[/sub]" The last part she'd say under her voice, not particularly caring if Yakoul heard her muttering a or not as she prep for retaliation. This leader didn't seem to be the cool headed type to think things through, so maybe she could use that to her advantage to draw things out until Confederation reinforcements show up, or something of that manner that would let them capture/kill the so called "Lady Commander" of the Red Sages.
