She didn't know what took over her, but Shiori caught the arrow with one hand a mere inch from it piercing through her chest. Perhaps it was her inner Tetsume showing itself, but she certainly hadn't done it on purpose. She gripped the kunai and threw it in the direction that the arrow had come from. She wasn't sure if it hit, but she didn't have time to wait. She urged Takada to hide as she went after the ninja who ambushed them. If that ninja had friends that would come after Takada when she left, then that meant Shiori would fail in her mission. But something told her that there was only one out there and if she didn't go after that person, then she'd be allowing him to attack them more. And Shiori had always been a person who trusted in her gut. She jumped from the cart and used her chakra to propel herself upward. In mid-air, she drew another kunai.

She landed near the first kunai she threw and saw that it had landed on a tree, missing its target. She took it out and went for a more offensive stance. "Reveal yourself," she demanded.
