Rena fell directly into the line of fire; as he'd expected, she'd feel the force of the explosive tags as she replaced herself with the senbon. She'd feel her flesh sear and sizzle; the pain was almost unbearable. Man, would she get in trouble for this one at the hospital. At this point, the mission wouldn't matter to her as much as preserving her life would; even if it was a split second, she'd rush her hands to make the handsign for Blood Manipulation and try to harden as much of the blood in her body as she could. The pain was suffocating and blinding but the fear and pain only drove her to do it; of course, she couldn't manage hardening her blood with more than 30% of her body, especially around vital organs and reinforcing her limbs so they wouldn't fall off with the blast, with the force of the flame and explosion; chances were she'd escape with her life but more than half of her body would suffer severe burns and scarring that would never heal. The only reason that half would suffer that much damage is that it had been the closest to the explosive tag; the burns would definitely cover at least 70% of her body and she'd need immediate medical attention.

Her hair would definitely be almost obliterated in the blast up to her shoulders, since she had managed to harden that much in a short time; this brought her even more suffering. Although she had saved some of it, the feeling from getting her hair burned to a crisp was so painful she thought she might die. She'd be surprised if she didn't. She could feel herself blown backwards, falling towards the ground, and she knew that she couldn't move. She'd already done all that she could; ironically, her death may simply come from having a fall. Her blood had already unhardened, since she could only manage manipulation on that level and in such specific areas for the duration of the explosive tag.
