"And here I thought that this'd be an easy assignment." Tatsuya cursed as the explosions shook the ground, Red Sage shinobi storming in behind a silver haired woman riding a salamander as they took advantage of the confusion to score some casualties on the Confederate side. Tatsuya growled as he saw a few of them kill civilians, unsheathing Ketsui as he charged forward to enter the fray, taking down a few Red Sage shinobi and defending some civilians from the rebel forces until he saw one of the sages launch an attack at what could only be one of his allies, a Hyuuga by the fighting style. Rushing in between the two with Ketsui sheathed, he was already running through a short stream before he unleashed his jutsu.

"Katon: Burning Rush." The fires rushed over him in a sphere of flames, intercepting the stream of water in a burst of steam. However, while this stopped the attack, the second part of the jutsu was negated as the fires were extinguished, the two attacks canceling each other. Still, a decent smoke screen had been formed from the steam, something that Tatsuya planned to take advantage of while he could. He'd managed to notice someone else rushing in to attack the sage who'd launch the attack before the steam had, so he couldn't do anything to drastic. Running through a couple hand seals, he formed a shadow clone, who immediately sunk into the ground using the Subterranean Voyage jutsu, before he himself launched forward, drawing Ketsui and activating it's fire Chakra mode as he aimed to slash at his foe while he was distracted.

[i] . . . Fuck, I could really use a drink.[/i] Akio thought grumpily as she paced around the festival grounds, tapping her fingers against her thigh as she battle with the urge to get just one tiny little drink from one of the stalls. She was on duty, and drinking on the job was not only unprofessional, but general a bad idea. You always had to be ready for anything to happen, even on seemingly easy missions like this . . . [i]But I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to have just one, right?[/i]

As Akio struggle with a bit of indecision, she noticed a strange light fly up into the sky. As she followed the flare up into the sky, a low curse escaped her lips, though it was soon encompassed by the sounds of explosions and combat as Red sage shinobi attacked the area. Akio quickly leaped up and over several stalls before finding a vantage point on a poll high above the fighting, clicking her teeth as she ran through a stream of handseals.

"Raiton: Thunder Bow jutsu." She said in a low tone, electricity forming in her hand and quickly taking the shape of a long bow. Placing her hand against the side of it, she quickly drew back a bolt, taking aim before firing it at some unsuspecting rebel. hitting him in the back of the head and scrambling his brain long enough for another shinobi to take him down. she'd repeat this process a few more times, assisting in the death of several shinobi at the hands of her comrades before she noticed the silver haired woman making her way through the chaos on the back of Salamander.

[i]That must be the leader, huh, and she seems to have a bit of an honor guard as well.[/i] Akio thought to herself as she drew another bolt, though instead of loosing it, she instead began charging it, aiming to fire a piercing shot so that their was lest chance of the jutsu getting blocked by one of those guarding her. However, it'd take some time to charge it up, so she'd have to keep an eye out incase someone tried to take her out before she could fire the shot.
