Ikuza's eyes flicked rapidly from the duel to the girls then back again.<br/><br/>"The Uchiha boy has the right of the kippers, sorry, the technicalities. I am no clone. This is no genjutsu. I am here. He's also right about that last bit. I do appear to be quite mad."<br/><br/>Ikuza seemed to drop the humour altogether. The situation was getting serious.<br/><br/>"Although if I am indeed mad, how does he know he can trust my orders?"<br/><br/>Ikuza seemed to shake off his ponderings as the two boys continued to attack each other and the two girls looked to him expectantly for an answer, his shaggy white hair literally flapped around his face as he shook his head. It seemed like the med-nin was coming round to backup Kyo, if not physically then ideologically.<br/><br/>Ikuza took a deep breath, his eyes fixing on the green-haired medic girl.<br/><br/>"Have you finally made your decision, then? Your choice is to keep her alive, against my orders, and take her back to the village?"<br/><br/>The red-robed Mad Hermit began slowly walking towards Seiyuri, his robe flowing about his ankles.
