A line of upturned earth and stone jutted out from Tashi's blade towards the raven. Looking over its protective wings, it abandoned its defensive posture and hunched low just before impact. The Raven jumped up, avoiding the attack entirely and it swept its mighty wings backwards.<br/><br/>Riding atop it was the murderer, holding his own leg wrapped and bound in his own bloodied shirt with most of his gear. He was wearing only his trousers and fishnet undershirt. By all appearances he was getting rid of most extraneous weight.<br/><br/>Still in mid-air, the Raven began to take flight, its jump becoming a take-off as it began a low ascent over Tashi's head. Jun's position atop a house meant that with a little luck, she could manage to intercept the bird as it passed by. Everyone else was either too far away or unwilling to get in its way.<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">Damage: 15 earth<br/>Reflex Save: 19+modifiers. Huh.<br/>Racial Feat; Evasion<br/><br/>Because Jun didn't do anything the last round, she can make a jump check and attack-of-opportunity on the crow.... to include things like grabs or grapples just to hold on. (Or teleportation, too...)<br/></div></div><br/><hr/><br/>Sakumo's eyes widened, mouth agape at Marise's... proficiency. "Aah. I should have known I wouldn't get away that easily from a medical ninja." He looked off to the side and mused, "Now I see why Jiraiya-kun's so infatuated with Tsunade-chan."<br/><br/>The jounin closed his eyes and shook his head, "Very well..."<br/><br/>The next morning, Sakumo woke first just as the dawn sunlight was starting to wash over the forest. He had spent a few nights in these woods before, nearly able to schedule his wake to within the minute. Mari and Kaname woke up later in the bed of their own clothes, their bodies still reeling. The jounin and his clothes were already gone, but they heard his voice next door. A young girl's muffled response came. It seems that Imouto had finally awoken.
