Maybe he was wrong all along, and maybe his actions would cost them. If so, he'd sincerely apologize later but that was largely unimportant. It seemed as if the Queen saw through Bumu's initial trick and they had been doomed from the beginning. Regardless, there was no time to contemplate if they had made the right moves. A small army of various sea creatures charged the trio on the command of their leader. Kaba stood his ground, ready to defend them and lay waste to their new foes. Except Koma grabbed his attention, prompting Kaba to follow her as she swam upwards. It seemed as if Bumu had became quite infuriated with the Queen's words and planned to retaliate. Blindly trusting Bumu to take care of the enemies, Kaba turned his focus back upon the scroll. Shortly after reaching the top, they received extra concealment due to Koma's handy genjutsu. He figured that it would now be fine to use his chakra without the water eating away at his techniques. He nodded as Koma ensured to give him cover so that he could retrieve what they came for. [color=red]"Be ready to bolt once I grab the scroll. No telling how many more goons the fish lady might call!"[/color] With that said, he bolted towards the pillar, attempting to draw as little attention as possible. As he neared the pillar, he noticed that the scroll was embedded into it in a way that would make it impossible for him to just grab it. The pillar was quite large, but it would prove to be no problem for the motivated chunin. Their goal was right before him, nothing would slow him. Now in front of the pillar, Kaba raised his right arm which suddenly became encased in a chakra laden barrier. He struck the pillar in several vital points, causing the structure to collapse. The words 'Suijin' harmlessly drifted into the sand below as it was broken off upon impact. Kaba had recognized the name as the water god himself but it would not deter him from their purpose. It seemed incredibly important to the naiad community, but it was just a roadblock and Kaba had no time to consider feelings that may have or may not have been falsely generated. Due to Kaba's quick assault, the scroll was freed from the pillar, and he now grasped it firmly. His face lit up with a smile. It seemed as if the group had been down there for years, and they finally got what they came for, or so he hoped. Kaba hesitated for a moment, initially not wanting to draw attention to his whereabouts, but he had realized that the large pillar being destroyed would probably draw scrutiny of the fish people anyways. [color=red]"Koma! Bumu! I have it!"[/color] Now it was time to escape this fortress. Kaba frantically began searching for an escape route so that they could avoid the immediate danger, uncertain that things would be simple from here on out.
