Nori Hisakawa
Nori went from defending his teammate to defending himself in an instant. "Two more? And what is that silver liquid?" he thought to himself, leaping away from the silver balls launched at him, into the cloud of steam. He couldn't see easily, but it wasn't nearly as much of a problem for him as it would be for them. He could take advantage of this.
He'd seen his ally use a Water jutsu already, so he was hoping they would be able to make this work against this Confederate assault. "Water Release: Water Clone..." he mumbled to himself, making the handsigns and leaving a clone of himself behind the steam, moving itself to meet the sword-wielder's rush. He opted to avoid the strange silver technique for now, until he knew more about it.
"Redhead, we've got two more threats over here, and a possible kekkei genkai! Don't waste time on the clones, and we'll fight the threats while we can, but it's important to relay this to the Lady Commander! I'm giving us a fight-or-flight advantage now! Hiding in Mist Technique!
With that, the steam cloud expanded into a haze around the near area, shrouding the sights of all... except the Byakugan, the one thing he had missed in the chaos.
