Karela let the fury she had been feeling since the night of the massacre empower her as she rushed towards the barracks and grabbed a handful of Kunai in each hand and proceeded to target her opponents one by one. The first one to die was a large Imperial solder who had quickly found himself stabbed through the chest with a handful of Kunai knives which unfortunately for her, brought her to the attention of a large group of solders who proceeded to surround her.

Karela could hear the sounds of battle all around her and she reveled in it as she dodged a few clumsy strikes from one of the solders while the more experienced ones backed up a bit and began attempting to strike her with her spears. She grinned savagely. "I bet a few of you helped wipe out my clan back in the day." She laughed. "Word of advice, if you wipe out a clan, make sure you take care of everyone. The people who survive that sort of thing are bound to be pissed."

She made a series of hand signs as she jumped up into the air away from the spears for a brief moment. "Multi-Shadow clone Jutsu!" She shouted as five clones appeared in puffs of smoke.

Dren Hyuga watched the battle through his Byakugan. He was careful to keep a close eye out for anyone who was in trouble and might need assistance but the main objective he was focusing on was making sure that Lady Kaede was safe. Sure, she had an escort but it was better safe than sorry. And if anything happened to her he would never be able to forgive himself for letting harm come to the Heir of the main family. 

He focused his Byakugan back on the battle for a swift second and saw the woman he had seen earlier in the day attacking solders with a ferocity that quite frankly shocked him and made him a bit nervous. He watched as she jumped up into the air and made a series of hand signs and five shadow clones appeared around her.

[i]Better keep an eye on that one.[/i] He thought as he turned his attention back to Lady Kaede and continued monitoring her.
