I: today
"Careful, right behind you!" Obito gasped, eyes widened and made a quick move to dodge the attack of the ninja right behind him. One hand served the purpose of preventing him from falling while he used the other one to repel the hand of the enemy, holding on to his arm afterwards and using the speed of him against him by hurling him on the ground. Obito's teammate in the meantime finished off another shinobi of Kirigakure who was about to protect their Mizukage from being captured by the two s-rank missing-nin who entered their village. "Thanks."
Another enemy caught her attention before she got the opportunity to answer. She did various hand seals and ended with a quiet "Byakugan.", that revealed the chakra flows of the attacking man. Within a few seconds she located enough points where she could interrupt it and placed fast, hard hits on them. "There are too many Tobi, let's head back." Obito could see reinforcement coming from inside the village of Kirigakure and grumbled disamused while taking another enemy out.
"We can't make it to the place where they hide the Jinchuuriki, I'm serious. Tobi, come on." His Sharingan looked at Sayuri, at the enemies that were heading towards them and back again. As he looked into the eyes of another shinobi of the Hidden Mist, he couldn't help but think of Rin who had once been captured by one of them and been forced into being the Jinchuuriki of the three-tails what not much time later ended with her death. Anger stirred up inside of him, his body tensed up and he did what Madara always told them not to do. He let emotions get in his way which was the reason he failed his Kamui and got hit by a shuriken near his elbow. Missing to defend himself didn't happen to him since he developed his unique dematerialization technique that made him invulnerable against all kinds of attacks. "I'm being dead serious now. Let's get out of here."
Sayuri was concentrated on fighting a kunoichi that had been searching for her blind spot all the time. Even if she didn't think she knew exactly where it was, she came dangerously close at it what made her Sayuri's target of highest priority. She blocked the chakra in her arms after a few minutes what was quite a time for a single shinobi and this fact made her worry even more. It took her another two minutes to make her fall to the ground. Dead but still a great amount of enemies left.
Obito still seemed paralyzed by anger and if Sayuri could have touched him, she simply had dragged him with her but she didn't even bother to try. It wouldn't happen to him twice a battle that he got hurt or touched. Making a few steps backwards, she stood right behind Obito, defending herself only and not even trying to take the enemies down. It were simply too many. "Alright.." His voice was not louder than a whisper but it was enough to make Sayuri immediately start worrying about the diversionary tactic they could use for escaping. Bit by bit they made their way through the huddled masses of people trying to get to them by knocking a few of them out but there was no exit to be found. Desperately she kept dodging attacks before she noticed another shinobi right about to attack by taking advantage out of her blind spot at the backside of her head. "Oh no.." A sharp gasp climbed out of her throat as she noticed that it was already too late and that she would be hit by the attack.
She closed her eyes, ready to take the pain but everything she could feel was the hand of Obito on her back. As she opened her eyes again a few seconds later, the two of them were out of range in the middle of nowhere and Obito was panting beside her. "I never did this with another person before. It's taking more of my power than I expected." Soon Sayuri let herself fall to the ground, breathing out relieved and looking at Obito who had taken care of her although she was trained to be his backup and not the other way around.
