It was all just too complex for the Shinrikyo to follow. Kyoka got out of the way with her fancy tentacle thing, and enabled a clean shot for Rumia to exploit. With the beam fired, it was there that the ice was the most noticeable, and prompted the monstrosity pout. Her tail returning to its initial jagged form once the remaining beam had pushed Sano away a few distances despite the new influences at play. With that, it was time to charge in once more. "[color=f26522]Pfft. Look at ya' squirm, fish-man. Pushed 'n' pushed, by lil' kids. So much so I'll almost call ya' a pushover.[/color]" Grinning widely, Rumia couldn't help but retort in an attempt to taunt the shark, and have her cousin exploit the inevitable faults to come with a wounded pride. Speaking of, a container would be sent her way, one she most definitely recognized the shape and use. But something was off, as her orange pupils remained fixed onto the aquatic behemoth. His hand extended, and chakra concentrated in one area. Rumia was not intelligent enough to actively find counters to attacks. But, like an animal, she'd charge forward. Her swaying, vicious tail seemed to rattle as the upcoming attack. This time she was ready. Jets protruding her back and calves, and three tentacles the length of the tail emerged from her back. Widening themselves, before seemingly 'fusing', they'd form an improvised wing/shield to provide cover for Rumia. Portions were enhanced by the Hollow Shell, and her right arm pressed against it to offer more retaliating force to the upcoming blast. Upon impact, she'd almost feel herself immobilized, but the jets would pull through, while her 'shield' held tight. The tentacles were mushed up by the blast, and her forearm's bone broken from the violence of the aquatic blast. But it didn't not stop the beast, and she could recover the container without it being compromised, as well as her body. Right arm steaming from the allocated concentration of healing while the mushy tentacles were sucked in back into her back, all she had to do was close the final distance. Jets on her back flared, as her running speed surpassed that of those in this fight. There was a lot of water around Sano, with his being coated in the thing. That's all Rumia needed to know. She did not understand how Sodium would literally explode in quite the violent manner when in contact with water, but she knew how big the kaboom was, and that it worked. After experiencing it herself of course. She'd get dangerously close, jets enabling rapid dodging of potential pressure blasts or other jutsus shot linearly her way, becoming harder as she'd got closer, but that was the big high, the risk. She'd rely on Kyoka and Sakana to cover her as she'd close the final meters, as another blast of pressure would certainly break her ardent endeavor. This timeframe would be extremely small, given her absurd capabilities in distance closing, but not out of the reach of the observation abilities of trained shinobi. If uninterrupted, in these final meters, she'd be coated in her Hollow Armor, and greatly lose momentum with her body armored up. The container tossed at the Shark's direction, with a paper bomb of her own added on the bottom. Nothing strong, of a weaker class made to distract over damage. With the explosion, and the range, the spread of sodium via the explosion would cause all the accumulated water from Sano's special ability to be exposed to the chemical. A chemical with no ties to chakra, mind you. The explosion would definitely have Rumia caught in it, though with luck he'd have her armor ready for the impact. One should just hope Sano doesn't opt for the hydrification method this time around.
