"Our Elders' decree isn't anything you or anyone can go against. We're going to be trapped like rats if we stay here! The south gate is falling, and--"
There was a shout, a warning...
Behind him, somehow, a being had materialized from seemingly thin air, a killing blow coming straight to him that no one in was in range to stop, and he knew he'd never be able to evade... His life flashed before his eyes, and then...
Then there was a hiss and faster than even lightning itself, a large snake had slithered forth to crush the intruder into its jaw. A chorus of shocked "Uchiha!" gasps, and shouts came from all over town as somehow, a friendly snake army with familiar-looking red eyes had appeared to their aid and turned the tide back in their favor.
Little did they know these were far from real snakes. They were right on the 'Uchiha' matter though, and she better than anyone would have recognized the unmistakable -although thin?- chakra signature. The snake lunged into the room, knocking past the half-awed and half-terrified family member of the Hyuuga still at the door. In mid-lunge it poofed out into a cloud of smoke, and Sasuke landed into a roll on the floor before ending up near Neji, impeccably spring back up to his full height.
"Neji... you're safe" he sounded immensely relieved., although immensely drained. Not that she could see it, but that purple chakra was still leaking out of him, visibly.
Her cousin could though, and he was terrified, still at the door. "W-what are you?"
