Mari glared back at Chiyo as she asked why she was with the River-nin.<strong>"I was escorting them out of Fire Land territory. While allies, they are still ninja. If you think such a powerful weapon will deter war, you are sadly mistaken. Do not underestimate the size and ingenuity of the Leaf."</strong><em>'Besides, we have a jinchuuriki of our own...'</em><br/><br/>As they continued walking, Mari's plans turned towards how she could escape this situation and help everyone..... But she really couldn't come up with anything.<strong>"The Third may be peaceful, but remember. Demons tremble when the peaceful man marches to war."</strong>She was about to continue, when something off in the distance caught her eye... she couldn't be sure, but.... Mari focused her chakra quickly, activating her byakugan and focusing on long distance sight.<br/><br/><strong>"It's Aimi. And some guy, they're fighting. Aimi's.... dancing? She doesn't look good, looks like she's gotten less sleep than we have. The good news is, the other guy doesn't look like he's in good condition."</strong>Mari said. She turned back towards Chiyo as her eyes refocused.<strong>"I'm not going to let Aimi lose control, I can help her and at least suppress her chakra. If that thing is as dangerous as you say, I'm not letting it get released in my land, even if we are on the border."</strong><br/><br/>Mari didn't wait for Chiyo's answer, instead she was shooting towards the pair with a burst of speed. She didn't want Aimi to get hurt,but she couldn't let something so dangerous roam around the country......<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">activating rank 2 speed</div></div>
