As much as she hated it, her advisors had made a good point. She couldn't help but mimic them mockingly regardless, saying in a high pitched voice, [color=0F1230][b][i]“..you can't go into battle being the first shinobi in, that's dangerous.[/i][/b] [i]Fools. They don't know what danger is, pfah.[/i]”[/color] She watched carefully as the explosions went off, killing some civilians and shinobi. She didn't feel any type of way about this - [i]war is war[/i], yadda yadda. The goals justify the means she thought, overlooking the dead civilians. The important part was the shinobi that had been felled, meaning they'd prove no resistance to the Red Sages. [i]As if they could stop us now[/i] spooked through Seijo's head. She looked to her left and right, before standing up. [color=0F1230][i]“Let's move up! Take that commander, alive preferably![/i]”[/color] she yelled, loud enough for everyone around her to hear. She'd assigned herself to the squad with the youngest members, to show them just what she was capable of. [i]And a little bit to save their asses heroically.[/i] Her cousin was, thankfully or regretfully, also with her. That guy was full of it, but he was her cousin and she had a weak spot when it came to him - his idiocy made him funny to be around. A welcome change from the anger she felt since Tarara's passing.

Besides her cousin Arima, there were also several others. She hadn't bothered to learn their names, as they were.. [i]expendable.[/i] She'd consider learning their names if they survived this attack. Seijo started walking towards the compound while several other squads already rushed past her - they were the first ones in. Ready to prove themselves, or crash into death. Perhaps genuine freedom fighters who felt excited at the rush of Confederate blood. Who knew. [color=0F1230][i]“Tsk. No way I'm letting them take all the glory.”[/i][/color] she mumbled to herself before getting into a jog, quickly transitioning into a run. To hell with the advisors, and their rules. If she died, then a new leader could be picked rather quickly anyway. [i]Besides, she was Seijo Tametomo, not some genin.[/i] She wouldn't die this easily!

As she approached the outside of the compound, the fighting had just begun. The Red Sages clashed heavily with the somewhat confused confederate shinobi. Thinking of an interesting way to enter combat, she decided to draw a kunai and then sliced her own thumb. After that she tossed the kunai at a random shinobi, who easily blocked the kunai sending it flying away into the sky. She sniffed loudly, disapproving of the shinobi's action. It wasn't meant as a killing move, she just had to get rid of the kunai. Forming some seals while dodging two kunai that were thrown at her, she jumped up and then, whilst descending towards the floor, pushed her hands out below her. A large cloud, otherwise know as [i]'a poof'[/i], appeared beneath her and enveloped her somewhat before the air blew the cloud away, revealing a large salamander-like creature. 

As a manner of introduction, the creature raised it's right front leg and slammed it on the floor hard, throwing everyone nearby it off balance, both friend and foe. [color=388B29][b]“Neeeeeeeki-da...”[/b][/color] a deep voice said, seemingly coming from the summoned newt. As the ground shook, it seemed that Seijo had little trouble maintaining her composure standing on the newt's back. Seemingly uncaring and unbothered with the heavy fighting around her she placed her hands on her back and folded them together. Moving her weight slightly forwards, she stood on her toes and turned her body around to look behind her. She was mainly checking on where her squad was, as she had forgotten about them in the rush to get onto the field. [color=0F1230][i]“Hey, hurry up. We need to get inside and find that bastard.”[/i][/color] she said, not speaking to anyone in particular but urging those in her squad, and any Red Sage nearby that was not currently preoccupied with [i]murdering[/i] anyone in their paths to get inside with her.

As soon as she'd delivered that useless, but none the less required message, she turned around again and tapped Neki on it's back with her foot. [color=0F1230][i]“Let's go Neki. We'll see about what remains of our army after we find this guy.”[/i][/color] The newt was slow to respond but stepped forwards regardless, clearly out of it's element since it wasn't in the water. [color=388B29][b]“Haiiiiii, Tomotame-sama...”[/b][/color] it would answer sluggishly with it's deep voice, seemingly turning around Seijo's surname without realizing. Seijo couldn't help but smile slightly as the newt walked up the wide stone stairs, leading up to the compound interior. While she wasn't exactly attacking anyone, she remained ready to dodge any attack that was launched her way, and the newt seemed to not really care about the few kunai that were slung towards it, simply swiping them away with it's tail or it's arms and legs if it had the chance to do so.
