Katsu watched as the water user was shocked and the chakra in the man's body was starting to stop its flow. The dying water shinobi suddenly felt a fading sensation of pain in his chest, being the last thing he would remember. His fall was only accelerated by the attack. The Fire using shinobi fell just as quickly, even though that was the only attack necessary to end the battle. Katsu's eyes opened wide and he looked at the woman who'd helped him. [i]There was someone else...?[/i] Without thinking, he pushed himself back on the water and skidded away from her a couple of meters. He deactivated the [i]Raitoninguchāji[/i] ("Lightning Charge"), cautiously eyeing her. He opened his mouth to ask who she was but before he could, she spoke.

"It is not your time."

She faded from Katsu's sight, leaving him confused and alone. He shook the questions away, knowing that he had to concentrate on his surroundings. He could see many sources of chakra towards the east. The closest battle was probably there, but he was already low on chakra. [i]Should I go? I could still help but I would have a lower chance of survival. If I go before my chakra's at least half-replenished, I'll just be a burden.[/i] His gaze was now locked on the shiny blade of his sword below him, inside the water. [i]I almost forgot...[/i] He quickly dove in under the surface, swimming towards his sabre. The moment he clutched it in his palm, he rushed upwards in order to get out as fast as he could. He stuck his head out and took a deep breath, panting and gasping for air. After a moment, he opened his eyes and swam over to the edge of the pond as quickly as he could. Leaping out of the water, he emptied the water in the sheath of his sabre and headed east towards the other sources of chakra with a quick pace. [i]I can act as support, at least.[/i] He reactivated his sharingan, looking out for anyone nearby.
