Before this she was sure the small combination of attacks would hit, and indeed it did, but she didn't think that he'd [i]willingly[/i] take the hit up until she was completely vulnerable to an attack at this point. Thinking about what had happened it would make sense for him to take the hit as not taking it would mean losing a valuable opportunity to attack once again. As she thought that Setsuko cursed under her breath at the fact that she was unskilled to hold a fight with her clansman for no more than 5 minutes. For those watching it could be almost laughable to watch the fight since it was obvious who was the stronger one. In a panic she had used her left hand to quickly block Higoho's right hand that was heading straight for the same spot she was hit before, but right after Higoho let go of her hand he used that same hand to hit her chest. Again. [color=lightsteelblue]"Dammit,"[/color] she spat as she coughed up a storm. [i]He used chakra in this one.[/i] [color=lightsteelblue]"It...hurts [b]DAMMIT[/b]!"[/color] After yelling that she suddenly glanced to her right just in time to see an attack aimed at her shoulder. Finally having an idea after getting beaten up [s][i](again)[/i][/s] Setsuko stood there as she would let the attack continue its course without giving any indication that she'd block it. She would wait for half a second as Higoho's hand got closer to hitting her shoulder. If she were to concentrate chakra to a certain area right now then Higoho would be able to see what she was up to, and alter his attack. [i]I have to plan it right[/i], she'd think to herself as it was time to put her idea into action. After the split second she would exhale to be able to release some of the nervousness, and close her eyes to wish for the best. She then opened her Byakugan eyes, and would concentrate more than a small amount of chakra to her left hand to keep Higoho from realizing too soon. Because his hand was practically an inch from her shoulder at this point Setsuko would suddenly swing her arm outward in an attempt to have at least her pointer finger, and middle finger hit right under Higoho's elbow. Because she was forcing chakra to her fingers as Higoho attacked the audience that had gathered to watch the fight would be able to see bits of chakra flare out of her hand. It was dangerous to be forcing a said amount of chakra in that manner, but the actual amount she had gathered wouldn't cause serious damage to Higoho. It was simply because she was forcing the chakra at all that it had become, bit by bit, visible. The attack was meant to stop the chakra from continuing to send its supply to his hand, but she didn't have the time to concentrate much chakra to her fingers, so the attack wouldn't stop his chakra flow. Instead, it was simply meant to unbalance the chakra to keep the attack from its true strength. That is, if he didn't notice that she was planning a split-second attack. Literally. Whatever the outcome was to be Higoho's attack would land on her shoulder with or without it's chakra, and she'd take a few steps back [color=lightsteelblue]"I'm going to feel this later.."[/color] she'd say to herself as the pain at the moment was numb due to the adrenaline. Not only that, but her breathing grew heavier as the "training" continued on. [hr] [center] [color=lightsteelblue][h1] The Kohonjenpou Warehouses - En Route[/h1] [@FallenTrinity] - [@Lost in my Mind] - [@tex] [/color] [/center] Before they were able to continue fighting Setsuko was startled by the alarms that went off. Right after the alarms went off her name was called multiple times followed by a meeting place, and the approval of organizing a team for what was time come. She looked up as red lights continued to flash, and then looked back down at Higoho. [color=lightsteelblue]"Sorry."[/color] she'd say as she would run out the door of the training box to make her way back to her room. [i]What is going on?[/i] Once there, she'd see that her usual clothes was now clean on the bed right by an ipad that would be used for scouting out who to take on the mission. She rapidly took off the extra clothes she had on to be able to put the clothes she was most comfortable with on, and after that would strap on the necessary equipment along with finishing her wear with the Haori going under the Obi. Once she was ready to go Setsuko grabbed the ipad that as on the bed, and stormed out of the room to run to where she was instructed to be. Along the way she'd unlock the ipad to scan through a few files of possible teammates. [color=lightsteelblue]"No...no...Maybe-no, no...yes!"[/color] As she found possible candidates she'd click on the file, and was given the option of sending a select text to their phones that ordered them to meet at so and so area that she'd have to fill in herself each time she picked a person for the team. Not only that, but the file was also brief with their skill level as well as what they were capable of, so she would run over possible battle plans to fit not only their needs, but hopefully the mission as well once she got the details of what was going on. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DhqwcQII_A]Time For Action![/url] Right when she made it to Hangar 01 someone there, possibly an assistant to the whole ordeal, would finally give her an explanation as to what was going on. [color=000000]"You are to not let them reach their goal, understood?"[/color] Setsuko nodded once. [color=lightsteelblue]"Hai, understood."[/color] After that briefing her teammates would arrive, and they would be led to VTOL that would take them to their location. Once in, she'd be told that it would take 10 minutes to reach their battlefield, and figured that was the best time to talk to her new team on what to do. Even if she was nervous as hell at the fact that she'd be leading a team at all Setsuko grabbed the headphones hanging infront of her, and waved for the others to put them on as well. [color=lightsteelblue]"Urm,"[/color] the microphone would make a high-pitched squeak noise as she was too close to it, so she'd adjust the mic to fix that. [color=lightsteelblue]"Hey guys, I'm Setsuko Hyuga, and I'm going to be uh, leading this team."[/color] the static buzzing noise could be heard even when she talked, but because her voice would turn the buzzing down a notch what she would say could still be heard; loud and clear. [color=lightsteelblue]"I'm going to get right to the point."[/color] [color=lightsteelblue]"Masato, when we reach our destination you make sure you're the first one seen by the enemy."[/color] She held the ipad up to her face to skim through his file first. [color=lightsteelblue]"I'm not sure how your construct works, and I know you like to fight at a distance,"[/color] Setsuko looked up to him. [color=lightsteelblue]"But you have to be the one to get hit first."[/color] she'd smile to him then look back down at the tablet as she'd scroll to the next person. [color=lightsteelblue]"Akamichi,"[/color] she'd point to Chokurou. [color=lightsteelblue]"Masato is going to get slammed with attacks from the enemy, but leave him be. You're to sneak around to find the strongest one, and make sure to surprise them good."[/color] Once again she scrolled down, and reached the last person on the list. [i]Tetsuba, huh. Now I know his name.[/i] [color=lightsteelblue]"Tetsuba,"[/color] she then looked up at him. [color=lightsteelblue]"The only thing I have to say to you is stay away from sight at all costs."[/color] She then locked the ipad, set it down, and looked to all of them as she rested her arms on her lap. The pain from training was starting to come back to her, so she would attempt to hide it. [color=lightsteelblue]"The plan is simple. Pick out who to fight, and separate. Except for you Tetsuba,"[/color] she pointed to Zay. [color=lightsteelblue]"You need to focus on the right time to use your attacks since we're going to be the official decoys of the battle."[/color] Setsuko then smirked. [color=lightsteelblue]"That's right, decoys. Masato, Akamichi, and me are to take the enemy head on while Tetsuba here attempts to find the right time to, uhm, use a good technique. That bein' said, I'd suggest we do that too, so don't use strong techniques off the bat, or you'll have to pay for my dinner later."[/color] As the VTOL was less than 5 minutes from their destination Setsuko would sit back up. [color=lightsteelblue]"The mission is us keeping the enemy from getting their hands on Madara's Gunbai, and Sasuke's sword that's hidden in a vault at a warehouse."[/color] she'd pause to see if the others reacted to the news. If she was allowed to she'd freak out about the news, but the nervous feeling she had was stronger than being shocked over what was going on. [color=lightsteelblue]"Anyways, if worse comes to worse then retreat, but that's only if you're already seeing the light, okay?" [/color] Setsuko looked around at everyone wondering if she was making a good tactic, or was sending everyone to their grave. Because of that thought Setsuko would nervously reach behind her to tighten the headband she had on this time. [i]Don't get nervous Setsuko, calm down[/i]. Whatever the case was if anyone had any suggestions she'd be open to them, but they'd have to speak fast as the helicopter was closing in on their destination.
