Nori went from defending his teammate to defending himself in an instant. [color=mediumaquamarine][i]"Two more? And what is that silver liquid?"[/i][/color] he thought to himself, leaping away from the silver balls launched at him, into the cloud of steam. He couldn't see easily, but it wasn't nearly as much of a problem for him as it would be for them. He could take advantage of this.

He'd seen his ally use a Water jutsu already, so he was hoping they would be able to make this work against this Confederate assault. [color=mediumaquamarine]"Water Release: Water Clone..."[/color] he mumbled to himself, making the handsigns and leaving a clone of himself behind the steam, moving itself to meet the sword-wielder's rush. He opted to avoid the strange silver technique for now, until he knew more about it.

[color=mediumaquamarine][b]"Redhead, we've got two more threats over here, and a possible kekkei genkai! Don't waste time on the clones, and we'll fight the threats while we can, but it's important to relay this to the Lady Commander! I'm giving us a fight-or-flight advantage now![i] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hiding_in_Mist_Technique]Hiding in Mist Technique![/url][/i][/b][/color]

With that, the steam cloud expanded into a haze around the near area, shrouding the sights of all... except the Byakugan, the one thing he had missed in the chaos.
