When Ryuumaru rushed at him with his katana in hand, Kuroda quickly drew a kunai from his pouch. The attacks were so fast that he could barely keep up. He managed to dodge and deflect some of the attacks, but when the other man leapt a short distance away after his attack, there were scratches and cuts all over the Uchiha's body. They were all pretty shallow, thankfully.<br/><br/>His eyes widened a bit when he heard a voice whispering in his ear. He listened carefully, pondering the genin's words. He hated to drag a genin into a fight like this. Kuroda himself was over his head. But still, there was something to be said for teamwork. He needed all the help he could get. And it wouldn't hurt to see what this genin was made of.<br/><br/>Throwing down some smoke bombs, Kuroda vanished from sight. Behind the smokescreen, he leapt back, heading towards the destination that the genin had told him. Whatever this plan was, he hoped it would work.
