 Devonte pulled the dead stub of a cigarette out of his mouth and held it between two fingers. He blew out a stream of smoke and flicked it away. "Misery? Tha party's just gettin' started babe an' I'm havin' tha time a my life!" He chuckled. Normally he'd run head-on at the woman, but he had two genin with him and he wasn't about to recklessly risk their lives. So he just watched her carefully, noticeing every movement she made, waiting for her attack and preparing for whatever she did. Ren took a fighting stance. He'd been in a few fights before, but he doubted any of his past opponents had been nearly as strong as he could guess she was. He'd only ever faced other genin! He'd have to keep his guard up and stay focused. Most likely he and Natsuyo would be used to backup Devonte, since they wouldn't stand a chance against her on their own!

"Raiton: Kirigakure Denkiunagi" He said with a twinge of glee in his tired old voice as his hand-seals flipped by rapidly. A discharge of potent electricity instantly lit up the cloud of mist with a blinding flash. It was akin to being struck by lightning. Anyone within would experience a severe shock, bad enough to leave them stunned temporary at best and electrocuted at worst. It all depended on the distribution of the mist technique.
Translation Note:
Denkiunagi means electric eel. He is calling this collaboration technique "Lighting Release: Electric Eel Hidden in the Mist". It's just applying his electric release to this.

The young girl looked up at the mist as it started to envelop herself as well as the others; or at least the man known as Mister Sleepy. As the Mist hit her she tilted her head to the side slightly and raised an eyebrow with a slight furrow in her brow. "Awwwwww, Why are you hiding?" She asked and she put her hands together letting her chakra out into the air around her; the mist turning into small crystal like ice droplets as they fell to the ground around her
At the same time the Lightning Jutsu that the man in the mask had cast hit the Mist around them; the attack parting around the seemingly oblivious girl who had just countered the attack; a goofy and innocent smile on her face as she looked at the ice on the ground. Then looking back up at the mist that was now electrolyzed that was in front as well as all around her. As she looked at the Mist and Ice around her she forgot about the Masked Ninja completely.

The woman grinned slightly and started to spin the chained weapon in her left hand which was actually only about half of the weapon in total; but as she spun it; the weapon almost seemed to change length even though her hands remained in relative place. Then with a quick snap of her wrist the weapon arced like lightning across the distance gapping between herself and the others; the weapon starting with a small bump at her wrist and became a full power swing by time it reached them; much like a whip made of blades. "Come on then ya old geezer" She yelled; as the weapon raced towards the man.

 - - - Natsuyo had stayed on a farther back branch than Ren, but not too far back to look as if he were to run. He did contemplate it when the woman had arrived, however. As he saw Ren pull out his short sword, Natsuyo pulled out a few kunai, one for each hand at least. He really wished he'd invested in something better than the two smaller fans to his waist, and the larger one still strapped to his back. They were pretty useless at that moment. If he'd been better skilled, he would have thrown a kunai in attempts to pin the long chain-blade weapon to a branch as it shot out - but knowing his own skill meant he'd just be wasting a kunai. - - -

Devonte lept out of the bladed chain's way with ease to another branch. 'So, a long-range fighter eh?' He put his axe back in its strap and made some quick handsigns. "Doton: Sekijun Senshi" he barked, his grin still prominent on his face. Enormous, jagged stalagmites shot up from the earth right underneath the woman, to impale her. Ren was well out of the weapon's way, but he kept himself warry of it. He wasn't much of a long-range fighter. Maybe if an oppening presented itself he could go for it... He watched her closely. If that opportunity came he would take it. Translation:
'Sekijun' means stalagmite and 'Senshi' means stab. (closest thing to impale that i could find) It basically makes a series of stone spikes rise up beneath the target to impale them.

The woman laughed and looked down at the ground as the Jutsu started to realse from the ground. Just as the stalagmite rose up from the ground the woman flickered away landing only a few feet away from the old man. The weapon that the Genin had thrown would have worked but as they hit the chain the sound of metal on metal could be heard; there was simply not enough for behind the Kunai to stop the fact moveing metal that made up this womans weapon"Any Range will suit me just fine" She said snapping the whip like object causing it to compact quickly; turning into a medium lunch sword.
As the whip compacted the blade that the Ninja had dodged came snapping backwards aiming at his arm; If it hit; it would only be a light clip, deep enough to draw blood; but shallow enough that it would stop bleeding on its own in a matter of minutes; no stitches needed. Unbenownst to her the stalagmite had damaged her clothing leaving her pants torn partially at the waist.

Behind the mask the ANBU smiled, idiot.
The lightning had fried the living hell out of the ice-user. It would roast even a resilient enemy. What would a little girl know though? Maybe that had been over-kill... but overkill was his job.
Landing deftly on the ground, he crouched- spinning a kunai up to his fingers.
He had back-up, but it wasn't going to change things. His pirmary goal was to protect the Hidden Mist Village. The ANBU assumed this fell into his jurisdiction... even if it didn't he would stay and fight anyway. That was just who he was...
"MOVE!" He barked at the top of his lungs to his genin hoping she would be far from here by the time things could turn sour.

The blade nicked his arm, but he wasn't really trying to avoid it. Flesh wounds were no big deal. If he was lucky- maybe he'd get a new scar to brag about to his nephews! But it didn't seem as if he'd have any such luck. She was closer to him, and now was fighting witha sword- a weapon he knew how to face quite well. Looks like he'd get to use his axe after all! Devonte pulled it out and closed the distance between them- he appeared behind her at incredible speeds and took a mighty swing aiming to strike her square in the back. There wasn't much Ren could do as far as fighting this woman went. He just stood on the ground, watching the battle. Ready to strike as soon as he saw a chance. He had seen the Kiri Hunter nin, but where was that genin who was supposed to be with him?

As the blade came back to her she looked at the blood on the blade and grinned. "Looks like this is the end" She said with the grin still on her face. After saying that she brought the blade up to her mouth and licked the blood off of it like frosting off a cake. As She did that the Axe struck her in the back with a fatal blow.
"....well thats not very nice" The woman said spinning around and aiming a kick at the Center of the old mans stomach; it was sure to his after all it was a sneak attack; she should be dead. Before checking to see it the attack landed or not she Crouched down using the momentum of the kick to spin her; using the pooling puddle of blood form the Axe wound to draw a symbol on the ground; that of the Jashin.
As the symbol was finished the womans skin turned as black at night itself while parts remained white where the bone would be. "Say good night you ********> She yelled as she brought the Blade up to her neck. ".....son of a..... I swear to Jashin" She said with an angry sigh looking in the direction of the Masked Ninja behind her who had just knocked the Ice user old cold; she was still alive, barely but she was none the less; she could tell by her chakra.
"Your first job is to keep the Mist safe right?" She said ignoring the old man. The blade still pressed against her throat. Jashin would be displeased with what she was about to do but her superiors would be even more pissed if she did not. "You touch her and this guy's going to get a little more off the top then he would like" He said as the blade slightly cut the skin; like a paper cut, cutting the man the same way. "How about you and your little friends here leave before I am forced to do something that i Really want to do" He said still looking at the Masked Ninja.

He was knocked back, but once he'd hit the ground, Devonte flipped back onto his feet. He was several yards away from the woman now. He looked up. He knew that had hit but- 'What tha fukin hell!?!' There it was his axe lodged in her back but she was alive and kickin'! Litterally! What the hell was that jutsu?? He looked down at the symbol she'd made with her blood.... 'The Jashin symbol... greeeeeaaaat.' he groaned in his head. He'd had a run-in with one of them a few years back, and knew they were ******** crazy as hell but he didn't know that the rumors of some being able to become immortal were true! "Tch!" he winced as the cut appeared on his neck, more in surprise than pain. It only took him a second to put together what that jutsu could do... but how she did it, he still didn't know. Like that mattered! From what this looked like- he could be killed! 's**t! sigh... I never even got that chick's name.' he groaned, thinking back to the girl he'd left back at the bar. He tried to think of ways out of this little ********, but nothing clicked. Devonte wasn't afraid of death. He was a shinobi, it was bound to come sooner or later. But if he kicked it right then and there, that would leave the Hunter-nin to make sure the three genin. He'd been a sensei once, and even if they weren't his students he still felt some responsibility for them. On top of that- the Mizukage had charged him with their protection. He failed and died and he would be screwed! If anything, they had to get out and get on with whatever mission it was they had.... Devonte sighed. "Can I at least have my axe back?" he said mock-warmly; wearing his grin again, holding out his hand. Ren was a bit taken aback.... ok, really taken aback! How was she still alive? The hand holding his shortsword tensed. From Devonte's reaction, he could tell that things were not lookin too good for them. He glanced back at Natsuyo a moment, then turned back to the battle.... or standstill really. All he could do was... wait for further orders.

Without moving the ANBU spoke darkly, simply, with a grim fatality in his voice;
"There are two options that exist. One is you let him go- you will move quicker and the chances of your temporary escape rise significantly. The second is that I kill him and you. Either way you have approximately thirteen seconds from now before my chakra has sufficiently recovered from that last technique to a point where I am confident I can eliminate you."
Even if he couldn't eliminate her right now- another ANBU squad would be along presently.
Off in the distance the ninja in the red robes was beating a hasty retreat through the tree tops.

"Then it looked like i just need to kill you before then" She said taking the sword in her hand and stabbing herself in the side; the same wound appearing on the Jounin from the mist, she then looked over at the Two Genin. "If you want to live, lay down and have those Genin put pressure on that wound" She had not killed him but that would have only gotten rid of one target; injuring the man took three out of the battle. She then reached back and pulled the Axe out of her back; the movement of the Axe causing a slight gash across the Jounin's back and dropped the Axe on the ground next to her.
A split second later she flickered and vanished, appearing above the masked Anbu; as she appeared she swung the sword and slashed at the Anbu just as she landed in front of the Anbu; the sword breaking apart into the whip in mid swing. If that he said was true then he wouldn't be able to use Jutsu to dodge the attack.

A swift current replaced him with a nearby log and he flicked several kunai in her general direction, tagging the tree ineffectively. It was just for show, he doubted any would hit.
To be honest- he hadn't expected her to try to run... but that being said, he would follow through on his plan to capture her. Her partner obviously had some great worth to her... perhaps. It was worth the risk.
"Doton... Kyokan Genko." He said in an even handed voice, despite the weathering of years it was suffering from. It was slightly muffled by the mask but his hand seals few by rather quickly.
A stone hand, much smaller than before but big enough to grab the electrocuted ice ninja, wrapped it's slate-colored fingers around her in a excessively tight fist as he slamed his fingers nto the ground,

The woman easily dodged he Kunai and looked at the masked ninja for a split second and saw him making hand signs; she guessed it was an offensive jutsu so she darted towards her partner and attempted to grab her; only to be beaten by a stone fist. "Damn it" She said and she looked at the fist.... She then looked back at the masked ninja "I am going to kill you" She said with an angry voice; she would have continued to fight now but with her partner in his Jutsu it would be too easy for him to use her against her.
A second later she vanished and was gone, leaving the area following the red cloaked member from before. She would have to go and get her partner back later.

Standing up from the kneeling position, his emotionless mask turned to face the genin.
"As she said. Put pressure on your teacher's wound. He earned his survival. You did not. If it weren't for him- you'd be dead. You where nothing but dead weight. In the future please make every effort to provide as much support as possible. Now, redeem yourself- tend to his wounds best you can and return to the village. I must return with this missing nin. The Mizukage will be very interested in her." He ordered in a conversational tone of voice. There was no malice, no great disappointment- despite his words he seemed just to be explaining something trivial.
