Ichika was never able to get over the sheer scale of Katsuyu any time she was summoned at Mizuraki's will. For her existence as what essentially amounted to a gargantuan slug, there was a something regal about her, perhaps it was the white-blue colour palette. Ichika couldn't be sure, but what she was absolutely sure of was the awe the creature left her in. Which was plain to see on her face as she watched her friend perform what could only be described as a hug, or as close to one as was possible given the disparity in size between the two. The first time the Uchiha woman had seen Katsuyu was during the Nine-Tails' rampage throughout Konoha, and she was no less majesty now than she was then. 

Once she had returned entirely to her senses and successfully averted her gaze from Katsuyu, Ichika turned to face the assembled shinobi; which mostly consisted of the genin from Team 7. For some reason she had a good feeling sat within the depths of her gut, but she could not place why. Nor could she trust it. For this mission to be a success, and in turn her own objective; nobody should be left in the dark. 

[i]At least, for the most part. [/i] 

After a brief contemplative pause, the crew remained mostly silent with the exception of a few seemingly involuntary stirs. With nothing else to be said, the assembled Konoha and Kumo-nin mounted the great slug-like beast and began their journey. Marking the beginning of the assault.
