The arrow landed with an easily audible<em>thunk</em>in the individual's upper torso, actually having an impact not unlike the previous sword-slash that had knocked it around.  At the announcement of a surrender, the figure turned, focused on the approaching figure now instead of Iku.  Moved to take a step...<br/><br/>...then in an even faster flash before - a slight crackle of electricity in the air - they flashed forward and struck the Kawarimi the instant it was set to blow... only it didn't, as if the tag had somehow been rendered inert.  Another flicker and the masked figure was standing right in front of Hiro, concealed as he was yet still, and in a blur of motion...<br/><br/>...found a set of soft lips being pressed against the right side of his cheek...<br/><br/>"Not bad..." the distorted voice seemed to almost coo, strange as it sounded from the distortion. "Definitely not the worst I've seen, certainly not the best... I'd give it a C..."<br/><br/>The figure launched high into the air as the smoke began to disperse, once again revealing the monkey girl who was as confused as she was visibly jealous of the kiss moments before.  Midair the figure seemed to vanish, the mask and long cloak falling by the wayside mid-flight, and the very next moment before the four stood a woman, not terribly tall but certainly not short, strong, confident, with long hair, blue eyes, and a set of very distinct marks...<br/><br/>"My name is Himawari Uzumaki, and welcome to your new team!" the woman announced in a cheery voice, despite the broken shaft of an arrow sticking out from just under her collarbone, blood seeping from it slightly. "Do I really need to introduce myself?  Especially to you Hiro!"<br/><div align="center">(http://pre07.deviantart.net/462a/th/pre/f/2015/176/1/0/teen_himawari_2_by_fu_reiji-d8ypcx9.jpg)</div>
