Sayuri (not the P5 painting)[@Write] Yogensha (Mrs. Burny Bones) [@Odin] And Chis (Captain Smoke) [@BladeX]

Hokage Mountain was a good vantage point for locating her fellow Iwa-nin, Amegakure's leader certainly had a good idea in mind when coming up here. Koma was quietly listening to Yogensha as she activated her eagle eye technique and began to survey the entire area for any sign of Iwagakure's presence within the confines of Konohagakure and the Forest of Death.

As the woman asked for her name and instructed her companion to locate the rest of the Iwa-nin for her, Koma had already locked her sights in on a few of the faces she recognised, along with that of the Tsuchikage. But they were all within the Forest, far too great a distance for her to reach in order to help them in their battles, unfortunately. She didn't get a chance to respond as mere seconds later the woman made some form of spluttering and when she turned she was on her knees clasping her mouth.

Only after Koma shut off her Eagle Eyes did she realise that the woman had coughed up blood, but instructed both of them to ignore what they'd just seen.

"O-" Things were happening too fast for the worn down kunoichi to keep up with somehow, what felt like the blink of an eye later there was a dark figure towering behind them only a few feet away, heat cascading off of his body like it was natural.

[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] Koma couldn't bring herself to ignore words spoken with such finality, but it felt wrong to just walk away with the odds seemingly stacked against Yogensha so heavily.

[color=deb887]"I refuse to leave. You said it yourself, as of now I'm no longer an Ame recruit. I'm just Koma Hitsugi, hopeful Jonin of Iwagakure, my Kage and comrades are out of my reach in the forest, but I trust they'll manage just fine without me..."[/color] There was a mellow tone to her words before she continued, bow drawn once more. [color=deb887]"I'll ask for forgiveness for my selfishness later, but I can't leave someone to fight alone, not like this."[/color] With only two arrows left, as well as her two smoke bombs, Koma already had her first arrow aimed at Chis. It was plain as day that she was trembling from either exhaustion or dread for what was about to happen, though she seemed about as ready as she could ever be.

If she made it through this, she'd have to learn some close-combat techniques.

Team Triple A [@Ganryu] [@yoshua171] [@Write], Tashiro (five minute charging technique) [@BladeSS4] And Havoc [@Syn]

The youthful fairy was more or less ignoring what was going on around her aside from what the man before her was doing, creating... something that was causing everything she threw at him to crumble into pieces like it had just been stomped into little shards of ice, as well as pulverising the very ground he was standing on whilst he launched himself towards her in response to her own movements.

This didn't cause the fairy to falter, no, it forced her onwards to do battle with this scruffy mystery man. If she could put him down now then he wouldn't be able to try this with anyone else, her resolve steeled as quickly as the snow storm began to build up in the area around the two, visible clouds forming and snow beginning to descend in their surroundings.

Things felt wrong all of a sudden, gravity distorting as Hime found herself inexplicably having difficulty to breathe, but she gritted her teeth and surged onwards. It was already harder to move, though thankfully her wings were lasting for the time being as she closed the distance between the two. [color=b0e0e6]"Eat shoe, scruffy!"[/color] She managed to call out, bringing her right foot up to kick him in the face, but falling short by a small margin. No doubt at this exact same time he'd see that there was more to it than just a foot to the face, Hime activating the ice tag on that very shoe with the intent to let the pillar of ice that was about to erupt from it do the face-kicking for her.

Cockroach [@Syn]

It was all very busy up above the ground... Sano, Havoc and even Jaakuna making themselves quite the show for the time being.

Meanwhile underground in the tunnels that Yui had burrowed, she was stuck down here with Cockroach, waiting for the prime time to snatch the unruly boys away from their play-mates. [color=92278f]"Is there anything else I need to be doing or am I just on pick up duty? I'd really like to actually see what's going on up there..."[/color] She groaned, twirling a length of hair betwixt her fingers. [color=92278f]"What if I just go get them now and save us all the hassle of them maybe having trouble with their fights? I mean they wouldn't want to be beaten up by a bunch of kids now, would they?"[/color]
