Casualties
We found Genma, and he's in bad shape. He wasn't coherent enough to recognize where he is or who we were, at least at first, and he doesn't seem to have any idea what happened to him.
Yuugao and I found him fallen about halfway down the side of the ravine above Plum Creek. He'd clearly taken a serious blow to the head, and has some pretty nasty looking blade wounds. Yuugao stitched the worst ones up, so at least he won't bleed out on our watch, but he's got a gash in the side that's probably gonna kill him if we don't get him to an actual medic. If the bleeding and shock don't do it, infection will, unless he's a hell of a lot luckier than he looks and the blade missed his guts.
Hyuuga Hinata, the clan's heir, showed up with the civilians and Yuugao's team, when they caught up to us. She was able to use her byakugan to tell us Genma's spine and brains were intact, which is a relief. And he's talking and making some sense, although he's obviously concussed. I guess we'll try to move him now. I don't know if he can walk or not, but maybe some of the civilians can help with a stretcher if it comes to that.
We also found Inoue Shinji: dead. Gutted. It seems pretty obvious he and Genma got this far together, but I don't know for sure. There wasn't any obvious sign of fighting here, so presumably they were wounded elsewhere. I'll try asking Genma, but I'm not expecting much of an answer, given how out of it he is.
I really hope Kakashi's managed to find some medics who made it out of Konoha. Not just for Genma, either. Yuugao's already giving me those looks, and she passed me a blood pill when she was giving some to Genma. Fuck, the last thing we need is me falling apart, too.
