She watched him go with vast annoyance, then shoved chakra into her muscles and shot forward, trying not to notice the pull on her coils. "I can keep up," she snapped into the wind. "I can even fight." Then she skidded to a halt, standing with her arms folded across her chest, hair whipping around her head for a moment before it settled. "But if you want me to track, I'd better do that rather than keep up. And if I want to stop Haruichi from sealing every chakra pathway I have, I'd better not do much fighting."
Honesty, and the threat to their mission, made her continue grudgingly. "I've got taijutsu. Ninjutsu's weak at the moment." Without Kuromaru there, and with their main chakra centers still blocked off, 'weak' was an understatement. She let it stand. At least, with Katsuko's exercises, the minor pathways were stronger. The stitches Haruichi had put in place seemed to have melted off almost entirely. "Unfortunately, whether or not I can fight, I'm the only scent tracker we've got right now." Which meant the only tracker of much use following a jounin pair. She started forward again, breaking into a sustainable run. "So... we should probably plan on you doing the fighting." And hopefully that would forestall any more questions she actually had to answer. |
