"Uh... Oh.. Huh?" The man on the bed groggily came to after she had allowed him to speak, "The... Uzumaki?"<br/><br/>He shook his head, "There's... Lady Tsurai, the wife of the main branch leader of the Hyuuga. She's my captain, here in Amegakure. If she were to leave, then they'd go all out just to find her... like their daughter. Mari- Mari... something."<br/><br/>"There's a transfer student, Kushina... and Lady Mito. They're back at the village, under guard."<br/><br/>Ryoichi furrowed his brow, seemingly displeased with all of these... options, "There's... Fusō." The Konoha ninja said, "Lady Tsurai's... cousin? Last we had heard, she and her husband were here providing medicine to children. There was a big outbreak not too long... they... they had a kid, too. Hideki and Masaru are on a mission to find them.."<br/><br/>The leader of the Bansentennin quirked his head, his golden eye widening with interest.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>The lead Chuunin of the prisoner convoy continued to carefully scrutinize their surroundings. Then, suddenly a large column of flame errupted from behind them, consuming their comrade behind the prisoners with a shriek. She dropped her umbrella to the ground and quickly threw off her cloak, still in flames.<br/><br/>Their captain acted quickly, shouting muffled through his rebreather, "It's an ambush! Keep on the prisoners!" And he threw to the ground a small bomb that exploded, obscuring him and his companion in a thick purple cloud. From the smoke, the other male ninja darted out and caught one of the prisoners in his arms, hugging the child soldier close to his breast as he positioned himself to snap the genin's neck at his leisure.<br/><br/>The other one, the one that Mari had burned, also leaped forward, but the genin ducked out of the way and avoided being captured again. He was a young kid, with a bleeding cut across the side of his forehead and a bushy black ponytail. He wore a deer skin coat and a pair of black shorts. He stared at his would-be captor fiercely, his hand reaching for the kunai in his holster...<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">Mari's attack is a success, Chuunin #3 takes 32 damage.<br/>Tashi's clone appears in his square. It will charge on the following turn towards the intersection of N12 and O11 for maximum damage. He's allowed to move 30 feet this round and make a hide check too. Any place in mind? Also, his cloaking technique is still in effect, but activating the exploding tag would count as a hostile action.<br/>Chuunin #1 throws down a high-powered smoke bomb, obscuring himself and Chuunin #2.<br/><br/>Round 1!<br/>Chuunin #2 moves to the first Konoha genin and attempts a grapple. Successful hit with a 22. Grapple 14 vs. 12... success. Rolls a 57 to initiate a Hostage Maneuver and succeeds.<br/>Chuunin #3 does the same thing. Rolls a 2 on the attack and misses, despite it being just a genin. :P The rearmost Konoha genin now gets to roll initiative and gets a 9, acting right after Tashi.<br/><br/>Next up; Mari, Ame Genin #1, Tashi, Konoha Genin #2, Ame Chuunin #1, Ame Genin #2<br/></div></div>
