Kohaku looked left and right, evidently torn between rushing to the aid of his other swordsmen in the harbor or his Kage. All the shinobi of Kirigakure had faith that among the Five, their Mizukage was without equal, save perhaps for the Tsuchikage. They knew of his long feud with Mu.. The swordsman narrowed his eyes as the Kumo nin darted away, then turned to Kakumei, listening to him carefully... "The Mizukage... Right!" He said, nodding. "I'll see what I can do."<br/><br/>The young swordsman stared at him hard, "Good luck." He said, leaning in and kissing Kakumei on the lips. Just briefly... but enough to convey his concern. He didn't even smile or laugh or anything as he left, leaping from rooftop to rooftop in order to catch the two Kages in the middle of their duel.<br/><br/>"Right." Damui said to Kaede's orders, jumping up on a rooftop higher than the others and producing his Daikyuu with a puff of smoke already in his hands. Closed one eye and took aim... and let loose. The arrow whirled through the air... Yumi was her target. She sensed it coming, but was too slow to dodge. His shot had been true, she was struck just inches from the heart. Her yellow eyes widened and she cursed. Onoki turned to face her, gritting his teeth in anger.<br/><br/>Em followed behind Kaede, if not matching her pace than her silence. They kept low and to the shadows, avoiding the much more obvious route up above. As far as they could tell, no one could see them.<br/><br/>"Doton!" Onoki yelled, flying in front of Yumi and making handseals. "Doryuuga... Sougakari!" He pushed his hands outwards... and little pebbles appeared out of thin air, they met and coalesced, forming larger rocks. More and more joined together, until several large boulders the size of a man were suspended in the air. They spun in the air as if unaffected by gravity... and then were hurled towards Damui, more than a hundred feet away. There was no way such a technique had that kind of range... and for this man to conjure up stone from thin air... Damui couldn't believe it. It occupied so much of his thought that he had no time to dodge. The boulders smashed into the building he stood upon and the shinobi both. It was a terrible display- Kaede knew he'd survive... but another hit like that and she couldn't be so sure.<br/><br/>The Raikage looked over the distance, then up to the earth elementalist, "Aren't I your opponent?" He said coolly, rubbing the back of his one remaining hand across his lips as an aura of electricity surrounded him. He leaped up in the air towards Onoki, but Tetsura was there at the same time. He brought his leg up in an axe-kicked and sent her hurtling down back towards the ground.<br/><br/>She hit the earth with her face several feet submerged in the street below. Yumi immediately spat out a thick white substance, sticky and hot. The Raikage brought his arm up to shield himself from it hitting his eyes as gravity's effects returned. He landed back on his feet flexing his muscles as strands of the sticky goo clung together, threatening to practically compact him into a ball. He grit his teeth, looking up at the woman. The more he tried to pull the goo off with his remaining arm, the more it stuck to him. It was only with the greatest effort that he could avoid getting his hand stuck to himself.<br/><br/>Yumi then put her hand up to her mouth and began to exchange...<em>something</em>between the mouth on her face and the one on her palm...<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Damui attacks Yumi with Kyujutsu: Tsukeme Hakai, +18 to hit.<br/>He rolls a 20.

(Whoa)<br/><br/>Onoki uses Doryuuga Sougakari on Damui sans material components with Limitless Fury. He rolls a 5 on his reflex save... and eats 47 damage. Energy Resistance 5 mitigates it a tiny bit.<br/><br/>A rushes towards Onoki. He activates Speed and Strength Ranks 6 and jumps up to Rensatsu Zanshin Onoki and Yumi. Triggers Tetsura's Readied Action (Jump in the way if he attacks anyone except her) She uses Harm's Way. A hits and deals 75 damage to Tetsura. He's 10 feet away, so misses the chance to hit adjacent targets. Tetsura uses 20 chakra to reduce the damage by 10 on top of her DR. Iron Skin's DR does not apply since A is Epic.<br/><br/>Yumi spends 8 chakra and spits a whole lot of gunk the Raikage's way. He rolls a not very good 23 for reflex and narrowly becomes Entangled, causing a -4 penalty to his speed ranks.<br/><br/><strong>Status:</strong><br/>Team Kirikumo<br/>Damui; -42 HP, -12 Chakra Buried under light rubble.
