Before anyone could even react to her sudden bout of pain, a figure made his presence know - not by speaking, but by an intense wave of heat suddenly washing over them as if the sun had just risen onto them. Yogensha did not turn around, instead moving her hands to her back first, clamping them together there. She straightened her back, regaining her composure - not because she could, quite the contrary. She was in intense pain and, if she had been alone, would've preferred to creep back into her bed and rest for the pain to subside. No, she forced herself through the pain and stood up straight, her face becoming porcelain, devoid of anything other than a simple polite smile. Only then did she gently turn around, presenting herself to the new enemy. 

[i]“Sayuri,”[/i] she solemnly began, addressing her student rather than this new opponent. Perhaps it was disrespectful to him, a man of his stature to be acknowledged secondarily to a student, but Yogensha's priorities were not with him but her own village. She imagined the man would understand. [i]“Please vacate the area. Rescue as many civilians as you can on the way, and find reinforcements.”[/i] She swallowed, the two lines of blood still on the edges of her mouth as she looked forwards again. Still, she did not address Koma. [i]“I still do not know your name, recruit. A pity. You have served Amegakure well today, but I fear your time with me is up. Find the Tsuchikage and join your people. I fear today is the day I might meet my match and see the Sage in his full glory.”[/i]

A statement that was meaningless to anyone that wasn't spiritually or historically inclined, but for those who knew a thing or two about the sage, it was clear she had subtly alerted those around her to the fact that she was preparing to die. Whether she would or not was unknown to her - she was not gifted with the gift of future sight - but the combination of her sudden pain, finishing a fight with another S-rank criminal, and the arrival of a new, fresh opponent made her take pause and prepare for the event that she might just breathe her final breath today.

Once her two companions had left the area, Yogensha finally addressed the man, who was still radiating heat. [i]“I presume you know my name. I've already fought one of your friends. There is no sense in drawing this out - nothing will be gained from exchanging pleasantries in a situation like this. Simply state your intentions,”[/i] she told him, her hands still behind her. She did not move to attack or defend - she simply stood, analyzing the figure in front of her. He wore a mask and a vest with a coat. Leather? Could've been. Irrelevant. She did not recognize him and any further analyzing of his features would not bear much fruits since everything about him was covered up. Fittingly. The sheer amount of S-rank criminals in the area made the entire attack seem like him - covered up.

[i]“If you wish to fight, then fight. If you wish to talk, then talk.”[/i] Her body was completely calm - yet at the same time she was tense, ready to move. A contradiction that was invisible to those that were looking at her from the outside. Yet she felt it inside of her. For now, the urge to stay calm outweighed the tense nature of her body in anticipation of this man's attack.

Sakana noticed when he had opened the dome - no fish inside. Not entirely unexpected, because it was too easy. But it was worth a shot. He turned back to Rumia to alert her when he noticed that the earth was rising up where someone was traveling - and then, bam, the earth cracked and revealed the invading party, as he prepared to chomp down on Kyoka. Smart - she was further away and somewhat unprotected. It didn't help that Rumia had bothered to bad-mouth Sakana back, distracting him momentarily before he would take action. [i]“Pig? Tsk. The more common one I hear is fish,”[/i] he replied, in reference to his family having some sort of sick fish-theme. Although he would admit that'd get confusing rather quickly with this giant shark king running around.

Sakana noticed immediately that Rumia was already preparing to defend her companion. Although he wasn't quite sure how to react - he felt outclassed, since Rumia was evidently very strong, and Kyoka was too close to Sano for Sakana to throw an extra jutsu into the mix - he quickly adapted and began augmenting chakra at his feet. When Rumia launched the laser - or whatever it was - Sakana jumped up and formed handseals while he soared high, preparing a fire jutsu. [i]“Katon: Gōka Messhitsu!”[/i]

He waited briefly to see what would happen before exhaling - if Kyoka managed to dodge Sano, he'd exhale and breathe fire in a steady jet stream of pure heat towards the location where Sano would un-earth himself, and simply adjust when he dodged Rumia's laser or was sent flying because of it. If Kyoka didn't dodge it, well, then he'd simply wait to see where Sano would go, and follow him with the stream of fire but in that case the attack would obviously last less long before Sakana would be forced to land again.
