Chapter Two – Deadly Rain

Ino lounged in the rented boat. One of the trio of Leaf kunoichi was always topside, with the stack of extra re-breathers. Ino had drawn the short straw this morning and so she lay out and worked on her tan some more.

She was glad of a mission and all, but this was just so BORING! Maybe she'd been hanging around Skiamaru too long after all...

A ripple of water and a gentle rocking of the boat brought her out of her dose. Tenten had popped up along side and was swapping her spent gear for fresh.

Something wasn't right. “Tenten? Weren't you just up here?”

The other girl blinked. “About ten minutes ago... Why?”

Ino's eyes flashed with sudden worry. “Because Sakura hasn't been up since before you went down last time.”

Tenten dismissed this “Oh,don't worry about her, that girl's part fish. Still, I'll go look for her, which are was she covering?”

Ino consulted the grid map. “Sector 16-B. About thirty feet straight that way.”

“Got it. After this, can we swap? I'm starting to grow gi...GAH!”

Tenten was abruptly gone.

Ino lunged across the boat, but there was no sign of her friend, barely a ripple on the surface.

The roar of a diverted waterfall swung the leaf ninja back around. A column of water arced up, high overheard, disappearing into the bright sun, Ino whirled around as it bent, and a human figure emerged from it's end.

The attacker made a casting motion from the pool of water cupped...around... her hand and three long knives of water lanced through the blue sky straight for Ino's unprotected back....

I think a forward somersault off the boat into the water would be the right idea. Then battle can truly commence.

Yeah, when I was first plotting this pic out, Ino wasn't quite so close to getting skewered... ^^ ;;

Hey, dramatic dives are all the rage Alternately there's a somersault to the front of the boat and a brief boat based fight before taking it to the water because, let's face it, that's where it's gotta go.
