[Open] It was like they were trying for a 'greatest hits of shinobi war' remake.

Where: Uzushio - Village Map
When: Evening of the 10th to the afternoon of the 12th.
Who: Anyone in or near Uzushio (Only a couple hours from the closest seal at a dead run)
Notes: Anyone is welcome to jump in here from either side of the conflict! All players are welcome to post top levels to this post for the situation.

The siege, for those that had lived through the last one, wasn't the same. Last time Uzushio had fallen, there had been inside attackers, and the coordination had been flawless. Last time, the people of Uzushio had relied on the rocky waters to keep them safe, and hadn't put too much more work into making sure that their defenses would withstand the tide of people coming at them from all sides.

This time, Uzushio had been built to weather anything people could dish out... and it was proving to be needed as the shinobi came down from the north like a tide, on the rivers and over land. It was like waves, with a crest of people before it trickled off, uncoordinated in a way only those from different places could manage, before another surge broke against the walls of Uzushio. The sealmasters, being the bulk of those who had returned to their village, had started rigging traps the day Konoha had sent people over, so it wasn't until the next morning that the last of the pre-set traps went off, and the waiting shinobi had to engage in proper combat as the enemy started to get in.

Proper reinforcements wouldn't arrive until the morning of the 12th to help drive the enemy off.

"No. I did not use what I could have against them. We were.. too close to the village for that to please me." He shook his head slightly. "And no I am not. I am Nagato."

Even now, it was a name little known beyond his village, let alone his country.

So he had even stronger powers than just what Gai saw here! Well, of course he did. No one brought out all of their tricks when the battle was so clearly in their favor, but now he was curious just what the strange redhead could do if given the chance and need.

"Nagato!" He tried to make note of the name to ask Obito about later. Perhaps this was an ally they needed to make sure to keep. "It is a pleasure to meet you! On behalf of Konoha, thank you for your assistance!"

He stared at him for a long moment, oddly stiff at the words, then let out a little scoff. "I did not do this for Konoha."

[morningpeacock]

"Of course not, I--" He was undaunted, though clearly that was a diplomatic setback Gai was unprepared for. "You are an ally of Uzushio, though, I take it? We have mutual friends, then, and I thank you for saving those that are important to us!"

"I'm not." He looked him over, realizing this man was younger than him and probably had no idea about him. "I simply have family here."
