The ice-bomb hit the ground and the ice shards were audible, but the figure didn't so much as make a sound.  Neither did the monkey, save for a low grumble as the smoke once again spread out further from it's source. Unfortunately that 'grunt' was apparently all it took for the figure to find the summon, and the next moment the smoke was dragged along after the sound of an explosion and the human-sized monkey-girl flying backwards crumpled over, winded...<br/><br/>...directly into the catgirl of the team, colliding with her and sending both of them to the ground from the collision, Tara dazed and a tad confused at the attack out of nowhere.<br/><br/>"You bore me with your tricks," the figure announces from the growing smoke. "One of you dies next, or the Sarutobi surrenders..."<br/><br/>The figure was next seen outside the smoke (Ume, Tara, and Hiro however don't know this as they are on the other side of the smokescreen), right at the base of the tree Iku is in, eyes locked on her, as if to suggest whom it is that will be 'dead' soon, even as the arrow flies past the figure's own head without a flinch or a scratch...<br/><br/>"The archer will be first...
