She struggles, weakly.

Sorry, she thinks.

"Those won't last long after I stop focusing on them," Mariko says. "Rian, you mind knocking her out?"

Permalink

"Sure."

She jumps up, activating her sharingan. The tomoe around her pupil spin hypnotically. Wouldn't it be nice to just stare into them....

Permalink

Her eyes are closed.

Permalink

This is less reliable, but...

A precisely placed strike to the base of the neck it is.

Permalink

She slumps.

Permalink

Rian deactivates her sharingan, then ties Tsubasa up - being careful not to actually hurt her, there's no point - and says, "Okay, team. Let's head out."

Permalink

He's rigged up some traps in their wake- tripwires and gas bombs, nothing fancy. Mostly he's concentrating on getting distance. Elieyha's starting to show signs of waking, which is good.

Permalink

She has to flash her sharingan a few times, but she's mostly able to navigate them through the traps. They gain on the remaining Sand genin soon enough.

"Nn. where-?"

Permalink

"Forest outside the city. Can you move?"

Permalink

"Yes."

Permalink

"Can you fight?"

Permalink

"Yeah." He stops. "You keep going, get your strength back. I'll stall them."

Permalink

"Tsubasa?"

Permalink

"It's my turn."

Permalink

She looks at him for a second, then moves on.

Permalink

Mariko's able to sense them splitting up, groans, and relays the info to her team.

They end up deciding against splitting up - they're too close to easily veer around Kankurou.

They open with Mariko's chains bursting at Kankurou, while Sen breathes out a fireball, Rian draws her sword, and Lee and Rian go opposite directions to circle around to Kankurou's position.

That is quite a lot of firepower. Setting aside the literal fire. Fortunately stealth means a little more when you don't start the fight in plain view of your opponent six feet away. Even if they do have a sensor type.

Karasu skitters apart under the assault, no chakra string guiding its movement.

Permalink

And where is Kankurou?

Permalink

Unclear. Brief flickers of chakra string cause hidden knives to pop out of each piece of the dismembered puppet, and further twitches send them flying through the air, but it's hard to predict which piece is getting moved next.

Permalink

Even if he's hiding his chakra he's probably not hiding his emotions.

She withdraws, and focuses.

Permalink

Doesn't seem like he has any of those.

Two arms and a leg attack the cat, sequentially.

Permalink

Argh. 

Pulverizing the puppet it is. He doesn't seem to have any other tricks. Luckily, she can do this from a distance.

(She pins the limbs attacking the cat first, who is nimble but not quite that good).
