From a really sorry author,

"She's coming!" Katsuro yells suddenly.

The lady jumps off the tree branch she was perched upon and began running towards the three at lightning speed. They tightened their grip on the kunais, thinking they are ready for when she attacks. Feeling overconfident, Naomi throws her special kunai at the lady, who swiftly dodges it. When the lady thinks that she failed at her attack, she takes her own kunai and aims for her.

Naomi smirks and disappears in front of her eyes with both Daiza and Katsuro. They all appear where the kunai landed. Daiza is very confused while Katsuro is even more. As they try to comprehend what happened, the woman just stands there, looking at them with a malicious smile. Naomi is ready to throw her kunai, but the woman continues to smile.

"What are you smiling about? We are in the middle of a battle ya know! Who do you-"

Naomi looks into her snake like eye. Out of blue, falls to her knees, helpless. The woman picks up sever kunais. She spins it around her pale finger teasingly, giving Naomi an unsteady feeling. When she tries to move, her legs shake, paralyzed with fear. The woman throws the kunais.

Move Naomi, move!

The kunais inch closer and closer, making their edge more deadly.

Move, c'mon!

Naomi keeps on trying but it is to late. The kunais pierce every limb she has. The blood splatters out of her arms, legs, chest, and one on the forehead.

Naomi fells her entire body being shook. Startled, she sees a mess of white hair and green eyes staring at her. She batters her eyes a couple times to realize she is not dead, even gives herself a pinch. Yup, definitely not dead.

"Naomi, you ok?" Daiza asks with concern. She looks back at Katsuro to see worry upon his face. His black eyes were truly sincere and cared for her well being.

"Y-yes, I'm fine." Naomi stares down at her hands. They shake tremendously. After all, seeing your own death tends to do that to people. "What happened?"

"Well, you were about to attack the lady, but you suddenly fell to your knees when you looked into her snake like eye." Katsuro explains. "Speaking of her, where is she anyway?"

"Oh yeah! Guys, be on alert and don't let down your guard for one second." The Genin hold their kunais close to their body, ready for when she comes. "Daiza, do you sense her chakra."

Daiza closes his eyes and holds up two fingers. He concentrates on his surroundings, hoping to sense her presence. He desperately scans the area. If she were to attack and he wouldn't have sensed it, Naomi and Katsuro would most likely...

Pushing the thought away, he opens his eyes suddenly and throws a kunai at a tree branch to the left of Naomi. They all direct their attention towards the area to see the woman jump off the tree branch and onto the floor. The three do the same, but with a wide distance between her and them.

"That's quite the sensory ninja you have there." The lady chuckles. Her long tongue outlines her lips, leaving a trail of saliva. "It reminds a little of the Second Hokage's sensory ability."

The woman lifts her sleeve up to reveal a black line revolving her arm, taking a small appearance of a snake. She bites the skin off her thumb, making a crunch sound. Her thumb makes a straight line of blood across the tattoo. She then slams her hand to the floor and yells, "Summoning Jutsu."
