The Uchiha frowned as he saw Izzy start running away. Chasing after them would be dangerous. There was no telling what the girl might try. But her partner was still incapacitated... they might not get another chance like this. If only he didn't have that damn injury from Ryuumaru.<br/><br/>He looked at Gerun out of the corner of his eye. "No, I'm afraid I didn't. I only sent the clone to keep an eye on her. As much as I hate to admit it, leaving her to fight for herself might be the best option. It wasn't until he found out that I wasn't alone that he did this to me." He pointed with his thumb to his back, indicating the stab marks from the other man's claws. "If anything does happen, the clone will rush to her aid. Might not be able to do much, but it will show me where she is."<br/><br/>He focused his gaze on the fleeing kunoichi. "I know it's risky, but i think it would be best to attack while she's preoccupied with carrying her friends. Shadow clones will pop with enough force. It's risky for me to engage her in taijutsu. It would be best for me to hang back a bit and covering you with ninjutsu, but I hate to send you up against her..." His eyes turned to Ari. "What do you think?"
