Akio looked up, startled by Aoi's sudden appearance, though that shock quickly gave way to slight annoyance with a twinge of guilt. She had a good idea what Aoi wanted to talk about, Akio's absence at her graduation party. She had considered going, she really had, but in the end she felt it would've been too much for her to handle. So she didn't go, and thought she wouldn't be missed by anyone there, but apparently that wasn't the case. She didn't say anything in response to Aoi, feeling slightly ashamed of her cowardice regarding the matter. She was about to say something, but then they were all on the move again, and again Akio cursed herself for not responding sooner. Hopefully, Aoi would want to hang out and talk later on after the mission.

As they made their way to the border, Akio felt a chill run up her spine as an oppressive chakra seemed to fall over the group. She only had to offer a passing glance at those around her to see that most of them had felt it to. She felt her body grow tense as the feeling continued to persist, but just as soon as it had arrived, it was gone and Akio could breathe easy again. That is, until a whirlwind of leaves blocked off their path. Akio watched as the jonin fired upon the mass of turbulent foliage, but it seemed to do no good as a man dressed in strange garb stepped forwad completely unharmed, followed shortly by a beautiful woman dressed completely in armor. Akio felt her breath catch in her throat as she looked upon the woman, feeling a mixture of awe and fear course through her. She could feel the power radiating off these two, and could tell that no one here was any match for her. The fact that the Jonin did nothing to actively confront this woman was also very telling. 

When her identity was revealed to be Kusaru, the Angel, Akio could feel herself break into a cold sweat. She didn't know much about this infamous missing-nin, but what she did know was that this woman was beyond dangerous and so far out of their league that she isn't even a blip on their radar. They were out-matched, and all that it would take would be one idiot to start what would probably equate to a complete massacre. But surely nobody would be so stupid as to-GOD-MOTHER-FUCKING-DAMMIT YAMATO!!!!!

Of course Mr 'I am God' would try to attack one of the most infamous and powerful missing-nin alive head on, and his stupidity had caused someone else to attack the jester as well. She wanted to scream, she wanted to one, she want to curl up into a little ball and wait for death. Instead, however, she simply gave a nod to Aoi as she felt the girl attach a bungie to her back, then ran through a stream of hand seals before she through a brace of shuriken at both Gian and Kusaru, breathing out a stream of fire chakra into them as she did so. The shrunken would come in at an angle, hopefully hitting Kusaru from her right side and Gian from his left. After that, she ran through another stream of hand seals to summon her Thunder Bow, pulling back the string and holding it there as she began to power up a charged bolt. She hoped that her attack would at least help ensure that the two idiots would be able to provide some distraction from the enemies they were facing, though she wasn't too confident about it.
