[Gala day 3] In which shit happens. [Sachiko, Sakurai, Tobi, etc]

Ibiki and Asuka were not to be easily found, Sachiko quickly realized as she and Sakurai scoured the panicked mass. Not good, she reflected. Maybe she ought to have told at least one of the kage bunshin to find Asuka and/or Ibiki before scattering them, but too late now. Especially because the crush of people had pushed

It was bad luck, maybe (or Fate, or coincidence, or whatever you wanted to call it) that Tobi was running to where Sachiko and Sakurai were. The sight of Rin and Kakami had thrown her mind into turmoil and it was like all she could do now, flee, run, get away.

Obiko, I'm Obiko, she has my eye, I'm

Madara let a howl tear through her lips and staggered against a tree, Sharingan spinning wildly. Her gaze flicked around madly before it spotted the all too bright pink hair. And in a few seconds, she saw what she wanted- the Uchiha. Despite the screaming voice in her head, Madara launch herself forward, single mindedly focused on the dark haired girl.

No!

Sachiko about jumped clear free of her skin when an unearthly howl rent the air. She spun around, eyes tracking for the source when she spotted the orange circle above the dark robes flying at her. Sharingan was the only thing to let her track the Akatsuki's movements, and reacting more on reflex than anything else she began channeling chakra to her hand for a chidori while at the same time attempting to get out of the way. More chakra, but infinitely faster to generate than a rasengan, and if she couldn't get out of the way in time, the chidori was bound to cause damage.

Sakurai also reacted, not as fast at spotting the Akatsuki closing in, but certainly quick to react once he did. And his reaction was...to pretty much grab the closest thing and throw it.

It was a bench. A stone bench sent cutting through the air on the path to intercept. Throwing it at the Akatsuki was pointless since they would undoubtedly not be in the same spot by the time it got there, so instead he threw it ahead near Sachiko, where the robed villian was obviously heading. If the Akatsuki was paying attention it still shouldn't hit, but it should force them to slow down even if just for a split-second.

So Sakurai made sure to run in the shadow of the flying projectile, a split-second behind, ready to come out and pound the living daylights out of whomever was threatening his team.

Children. Tch

The bunshin hadn't been kidding--the Akatsuki was wicked fast. She caught the images of Sakurai throwing a bench (A stone bench! Like it was nothing!) and the path it would take along with the hoped-for results (after-images of Sakurai's intent, and therefore faint in comparison to the bench's path) and moved to get out of its way. Unfortunately, she Saw that the Akatsuki had also managed to anticipate the bench and had moved out of the way.

The genjutsu that knocked out Sakurai happened too fast for Sachiko to cancel the chidori and get her hands up in time for a dispel so she kept the lightning-ball in hand. But she Saw something that disturbed her--the chakra shone in the Akatsuki's head in a way that focused around the eye.

Oh, hell, this guy had a doujutsu?The moment the Akatsuki looked back to her, Sachiko blinked and frowned--the Akatsuki's intent looked fuzzy, like he was unsure. And then everything went black when a genjutsu slammed into her mind. Her eyes were spinning back to black even as they rolled up into her

That was simple.

STOP! STOP IT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING, STOP IT!

"Nngh, shut up!" Madara hissed, arms shooting out to catch the falling Uchiha girl. Itae be so pissed when she found out what Madara had done, yes she would...

The Akatsuki leader tossed the the girl over her shoulder, listening to the voice in her head howl and scream in anger. She started to walk away, pausing only to nudge the pink haired boy. For a moment she contemplated bringing him too, but decided that would take too much effort, and continued on her way. She wondered if Deidara was done yet, the explosions seemed to have stopped...
