Umary listened to the sounds of battle as they came closer and closer. Only her training kept her from flinching at the screams. People were out there dying, horribly. Still she maintained her calm and took deep breaths not really listening as the Jounin of their little group was talking to the delegates. Until she heard her name.
"...Honma will keep you safe."
Umary blinked, obviously hearing something out of context. She turned and regarded her squad leader and he nodded his head but kept his attention on the delegates. With the five, they were able to maintain the barrier. But if it came down...
Obviously he wanted Umary to take the Delegates away at that point. Which meant he thought they were going to loose. Umary turned her attention back to the barrier, her stomach churning. As a medic she was afforded certain things, including other shinobi helping her get off the battlefield. But having them lay down their lives for hers (And the delegates). Didn't sit right with her. But if she stayed she'd die.
Umary took another deep bracing breath as they all heard people approach.
"The Red Sages are coming in!!"
Shortly following the words was an earth shaking impact. Everyone staggered, but was unharmed as the moment passed. The barrier stood. The Medic's hands were beginning to sweat. The battle was upon them.
She made eye contact with the Jounin before pulling out her set of needles. She took a settling stance as the floor began to warp. The other four did the same.
Noriko took a deep breath to clear her chakra and looked at the felled men.
Weak. Her mind mentally supplied. Since they were completely dead Noriko put them away from her thoughts and turned to survey the area. People were still panicking but another Shinobi was trying to stem that by herding them with... some ability.
He didn't have a red sash so when he made his way to Noriko she didn't attack. Plus, he was helping civilians.
Would you be willing to assist me in bringing these people to safety? While I can provide protection I am not much use in dispatching opposition at the moment and would appreciate your assistance. If you are willing please feel free to join us.
Noriko's mouth curved up into a smile as he asked her for help, then proceeded to not wait for an answer. He had some balls. She didn't bother responding since he didn't wait but took up a position to watch the motley group. Which was a good thing because it allowed her to spot another shinobi looking at her. Noriko easily settled into a horse stance and raised her sword in invitation. The other would have to take the lizard.
Noriko watched shuriken fly towards her. A corner of her mouth twitched upwards. With a quick movement she drove her Wakizashi point first into the ground and quickly made hand seals.
"
Katon!" Noriko said calmly. "
Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" At the final word she exhaled fire, gathering it into a large ball. The fire ball would immolate anything thrown, including hidden objects. At the same time, Noriko retrieved her Wakizashi from the ground, ready. If anything came through her jutsu it wouldn't catch her surprised.
