Shinrei backs up and doesn't pursue, instead using wind techniques to force the toxic smoke high into the atmosphere, dispersing it, and creating a swirling wall of pressure around the tears to keep more from escaping.

Elaise retracts the jutting bones and slowly peels herself off of Amajina.

Permalink

Sayuri closes the last of everyone's wounds.

Permalink

Amajina grunts a bit, makes sure Sayuri has enough chakra to avoid exhaustion - and lets herself flop to the ground, tired and dazed. 

Permalink

The tears in reality close.

And Shinrei comes over to her genin. "Are any of you still hurt?"

Permalink

"Nn." She stretches a bit. "No."

Permalink

"'m kay."

Permalink

"Dizzy? But - fine."

Permalink

"Good."

Sayuri and Elaise are the two currently vertical, so she pulls them into a hug first. 

Permalink

...Unexpected.

She tentatively hugs back.

Permalink

Amajina makes a small noise, sitting up. 

Permalink

A curl of water pushes her into the hug, too.

"I'm sorry this happened," Shinrei says after a moment, squeezing her girls.

Permalink

"...Why did it happen?"

Permalink

"...They were after Amajina," she says. "We hadn't caught them slipping into the country - and they detected her before I detected them."

Permalink

"Okay."

"What about- all the other stuff."

Permalink

"...Yeah. There's a lot."

Permalink

"Well, I've got the Three Tails sealed in me, for start. Is that why they were after me?"

Permalink

She nods. "I think so, though we don't know a lot about why exactly their organization has been sniffing after the tailed beasts recently. We don't think they've gotten any yet, but - they're a mercenary group, Akatsuki. They might just want the power, or the prestige, or they might be hunting on behalf of a client."

Permalink

Unhappy frown. "The Tailed Beasts can talk to each other. Isobu will make sure everyone's warned."

Permalink

She nods.

"Thank you, and - tell Isobu thanks from me. I can get you more of our shareable intelligence, there, to help the other jinchuuriki avoid them."

Permalink

She bites her lip. 

"...He wants me to tell you it's - something important for him to do, and he liked you and misses you and is sorry about what happened - uh I have no idea what that last is referring to."

Permalink

"Ah."

She closes her eyes. 

"Thank you."

"All that - what's up with me - is the biggest thing I need to explain, isn't it?"

Permalink

"Seems like it. He called you Yagura."

Permalink

"Yes."

"He knew me, before, and he's always been good at identifying people."

"That - wasn't a case of mistaken identity."

Permalink

"Yagura was killed."
