Jun clawed at the air in a fury as she plummeted to the earth- a foolish sparrow came by to help but only found claws on its feathers. It shrieked in pain, but the lupine kunoichi was focused only on slowing her descent. It worked... for a moment, as her weight was too much for the little creature to handle. Tashi came underneath, the last reserves of adrenaline bringing him to the top of a building until he could leap off and catch her.<br/><br/>He managed to save her just in time, though it not save him... she started to claw at him and tear shreds of skin off in her frenzy. A few moments later and a swarm of arms broke them up, the villagers holding Jun back as the feral ninja burnt off the remainder of her energy. A Jounin from atop a roof started to bark commands. The intruder was still somewhere nearby, he shouted. Search teams were immediately organized and sent out after him but for Jun and Tashi, their time had passed.  When Jun awoke, she found soft wolf's fur in her fingers- Xexen at her side. Her wounds had been healed and her fury abated.<br/><br/>Tashi was being attended to by the medical ninjutsu of a fellow Guard when his commander came up to him. He was a short man, though none among them could question his ferocity. His prowess hardly necessitated the Oni mask to instill fear and order amongst the village. "They haven't found him yet."<br/><br/>It had been almost a half hour. The blue and green eyed man couldn't have been far. At least not without a leg... or had he lost a leg at all? He was a tricky sort, from beginning to end, "Can you walk? The Daimyo has a mission for you. You and the wolf girl and your instructor. He wanted the Yuu girl as well but she's out of the village."<br/><br/>The old team- the last time they had been together was in that mission to the tomb. What could have been so urgent as to assign them some task<em>now?</em><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">Tashi takes 7 damage from Jun's frenzied claws. Jun is grappled and pinned. Too many rolls, but assuming it's at least five people helping to grapple and only one needs to succeed... Eventually Jun makes a will save.<br/><br/>A few minutes later, both Tashi and Jun are fully healed- chakra unchanged. Tashi might just be depleted.<br/><br/>Kaname and Mari are technically a few hours ahead in time of the Tani folk. When you meet up (very soon), it will be normalized. So while it's morning in Konoha, it's still night at Tani.<br/><br/>I'll post a response to Mari in a bit. More chance for Kaname to decide what to do at least. :P</div></div>
