She reached up, grabbing one wrist before pulling it forward and down, crashing the elbow against her shoulder with a solid impact that, while not breaking the tough joint, certainly hurt, making him drop the weapon with a scream.
The other two gennin charged at her, she reached into her pouch, drawing a handful of shuriken, cutting her hand in her haste. She held on tight though, and threw them at the gennin, wind chakra infused into them.
One of the boys ducked, forming handseals before slamming his hands down on the ground, two earth walls sprouting up between them and the shuriken.
The bladed stars struck the stone, nearly going straight through the packed earth.
One gennin, the one that had formed the technique was unaffected because he was crouching.
The other, standing at his full height got a face-full of dirt and dust as the shuriken speckled itin his face with their near exit.
He coughed and sputtered, eyes tearing up as he tried to wipe them in order to see.
"Ragh!"
The next thing he knew the crazy silver haired girl was punching through the earth wall, fist coated with wind chakra that she used to just drill straight through it, before grabbing him by the face and using her momentum to slam his skull against the packed earth at their feet.
She moved to turn but before she could there was an arm coiled around her neck in a brutally strong chokehold.
She choked as she tried to suck down a startled gasp, coughing as her hands rose to elbow the gennin behind her, only for him to move out of the way, grip the back of her head to avoid the headbut she was about to do and squeeze
She grit her teeth, trying to throw him off as she lunged forward. She opened her eyes finding the one who's nose she'd broken approaching. His friend was regaining his bearings as well.
She didn't want to cut off his arms and kill him with wind blades but if this asshole didn't get off her...
"Dynamic entry!"
And with a moment of deja-vu, Naruto appeared from flat out nowhere, giggling as he latched onto broken noses' head and started beating him with the ring end of kunai.
The one holding her slackened his grip for a moment in surprise, enough for her to move her head and bite. Hard.
She didn't stop until she felt the coppery tang of blood in her mouth.
When he finally let go she turned and hurt him. Badly.
She turned to the last boy once she was done, who was already calling to forfeit and all but running towards the Jounin as Naruto gleefully let go of his choking, half drowning teammate with the bloody nose.
She panted, rubbing her own neck and spitting to try and get rid of the taste in her mouth..
"Thanks."
Naruto grinned. "No problem I'm just about-"
Before he could finish his sentence the Naruto before her vanished, leaving behind only a mound of dirt in his shape that quickly fell to pieces.
A Tsuchi-bunshin.
Her eyes widened, turning around in time to see the dust cloud beginning to dissipate.
More than that though she saw her teammate a second before he hit the ground, evidently having been hit, or thrown.
She could see four other Iwa gennin in the last vestiges of the dust cloud that weren't moving. There were only two that were.
Problem was, Naruto wasn't moving either.
She moved to step forward when a lancing pain shot up her whole leg, a scream prying itself from her throat as she fell, blood gushing out the back of her knee.
She turned, looking behind her and finding the damn Gennin with the busted nose getting back to his feet even as he tried to cough air back down his abused throat. His friend had surrendered...he hadn't.
She limped, back, away from him towards her weapon even as she growled like a beast with the promise of retribution.

"Your boy there seems to have bitten off more than he could chew." Onoki pointed out. Unable to keep the glee from his tone.
"He chewed plenty." A was quick to point out. "Helping his teammates and taking down four gennin isn't exactly something to scoff at. The girl was careless though and too impulsive. Not Chuunin material as far as I'm concerned."
"Kid could take a punch last time I checked." Kisame was frowning. "Was he hit by a mule or something?"
Koutou sighed through his nostrils. The team had put up a good show. But their victory always had the odds stacked against them.
He looked up to see if he could get a read on the sannin, only to find the man as bored as when the fight started.
He turned his eyes back towards the fights, watching as the two Iwa gennin marched forward. One wobbling unsteadily on his feet, the other much more easier stride. The probable culprit.
He could only repeat the mental mantra of "Get up get up" as he watched the blond lump on the floor remain unmoving.
To his surprise however, before the gennin could finish crossing the distance, five shimmering mirrors of ice hovered between them and their target. The dome that had surrounded the careless Kumo team vanishing in wet cascades.

Haku's image appeared in the mirrors, as they surrounded the two, glaring at them.
"The hell is this!" One of them the bigger one that didn't look nearly so exhausted hissed out. "Kiri's makin' nice with the leaf now?"
Haku brandished her Senbon eyes cold as her mirrors. The panels angled themselves. "You want to surrender now."
