[color=mediumaquamarine]"I don't think I've been in a fight that bad for a long time. Damn myself; I almost [b]hope[/b] the Lady Commander berates me for this one. I feel like such a fool; in the heat of battle, I'd let myself forget about the Hyuga clan and the Byakugan. At least I have the information about that unknown kekkei genkai."[/color] Nori was a mess after that fight. The side of his stomach felt like hell, though he didn't feel like he had suffered any permanent damage from the strike besides heavy bruising. He was thankful he didn't try to block it; he probably would have ended up with a broken arm, and to hell with the rest of the mission, and probably his excuse for a career. And then he'd almost gotten himself blown right-the-hell-up after escaping. Did one of them try to escape and trap them? It was a good thing he had brought those clones. The one in front of him had managed to trigger it, and it gave him the window needed to replace himself with the clone behind him.

So now he was down two clones, hurt in the side, and pretty irritated. He wasn't arrogant about his fighting skills though; the Hyuga just had the means to beat him, and he was outnumbered. Hopefully he'd managed to save that redhead. It didn't appear as though he'd been followed though, or if he had, they were taking their sweet time to stop him. A bad idea, as now he had gotten close enough to see the Lady Commander in the midst of a fight. Some kunoichi, some lightning bow. Her pet newt wasn't around for some reason, but it wasn't making much of a difference. The fight was going well in her favor.

He made himself off to the side of the building until the fight subsided, using the time to  [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Unsealing_Technique]summon up a spare naginata.[/url] They weren't exactly easy to make, but he did keep a few extra for certain situations. It wasn't long until Seijo declared the fight with the girl over, asking Katsuko to step in for her. He was perhaps just as scary as the Lady Commander at times. As soon as the declaration was made though, considering Katsuko was coming in, he made his way out and sprinted towards her. [color=mediumaquamarine]"Lady Commander Tametomo! I have something to report from the back lines!"[/color]
