Kuroda gave Ari a calculating look. She was very familiar with this girl, it seemed. He'd have to ask her for more information later. "That explains how she behaved when I first fought her..." His right hand clenched into a fist. He had almost run her though with the Lightning Cutter. If it weren't for that damn ice wall...<em>Don't think like that.</em>He scolded himself mentally. It was the past, there was no sense him thinking about how it could have been different.<br/><br/>"We need to move now, or we'll likely lose them." He looked at Gerun, Vale, and Ari. "Let's go." With that, he bolted in the direction that she had run off to. He was depending on Gerun to keep track of which way Izzy was headed.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, his shadow clone had finally tracked down where Ryuumaru and Anzu were currently fighting. He got there just in time to see the man counter the Hyuuga's strike. The clone stayed put, about 50 yards away. It wasn't going to do anything but observe unless intervention became a necessity. And it was only one shadow clone. Most likely, all it would end up doing would be dissipating and giving Kuroda Anzu's location once this was all over. That, and watching Ryuumaru through it's Sharingan, gathering as much information about the man as possible.
