	To no surprise of anyone on the scene, the loud mouthed Sage fled as soon as he was overcome by the overwhelming odds stacked against him, using a substitution jutsu to slip away from the engagement, but not before spouting more reprehensible [i]garbage[/i] at the group of shinobi. That arrogant little [i]gnat[/i] had the audacity to taunt them on his retreat though, outright stating that his entire purpose was that of a [i]distraction.[/i] There was some method to his madness after all. At least, that's what Zay forced himself to believe. No matter how hard he tried, the silver shinobi couldn't help but think poorly of Mikoto's behavior. Alas, the encounter was over, and in less than a minute, Zay's pool was free of trespassers. He briefly glanced at Tatsuya while sunk into the ground, before turning his attention to Higoho, who was headed towards the confederate compound in the distance, after essentially telling a newly arrived clans-mate to [i]fuck off[/i] in a rather petulant tone. What a wretched shinobi. Really though, Zay hadn't been much help in the battle they'd just finished at all, but there wasn't much for him to do. He was much better at supporting against several shinobi at once, and with allies he was familiar with. It didn't really matter though. The battle was won, but what of the war? Zay slowly followed after Higoho, taking in the majority of his pool as he proceeded and retaining as much chakra as he could. As the pool shrunk, his pace picked up slightly, to match Higoho's, albeit from several yards behind.

	Zay approached the compound without urgency, stopping at the base of the staircase leading upwards, and noticing the two Hyuga retreating back down the steps. He stood aside and sighed to himself, reabsorbing what little remained of his silver pool. Was the battle over? That couldn't be! What exactly happened up there? Before he could discern the outcome of this horrid battle, the irritable Hyuga boy stepped past him and shouted at the top of his lungs- [color=gray]“EIGHT TRIGRAMS MOUNTAIN CRUSHER!”[/color] Zay spun his head towards Higoho, who'd immediately engaged... Himself? Shocking, to say the least. Zay glanced at Setsuko briefly, conflicted on how to react to Higoho's tantrum. There wasn't much reason for him to interfere, and doing so would've been in poor judgement. Besides, anyone foolish enough to approach somebody they were currently [i]disguised as[/i] probably deserved to be struck down for their own idiocy. It was probably just a low ranking Red sage shinobi, anyways.
