Yahiko had exhausted herself to the point of needing a breather thanks to using that powerful jutsu. It saved them some time and kept the enemies away for a time, having cut their speed to zero and having to build it back up, but she was needing some rest on the boat while everything else was going on. Krine even saw it in heart to offer a bit of her jacket for whatever could be counted as cover, trying to hide Yahiko with her useless means of disguise.

Korine and Yahiko wouldn't be able to help with this next portion of the fight. The waterbenders were continuing to come at them though. When they were within range, that lightning bolt was sent out, but as it weakened over the distance, and it collided with a wave that did not connect to their boats, they were safe from harm and could continue to approach at great speeds.

Michrama was able to deal with the first water bender, who was busy trying to approach and get into the fight, only for the electricity to jump between his risen current. The bender thought to try and jump off the current, but the water between his feet and the falling water was enough for the lightning to jump between and give him a good stun. Rather than falling into the water, he flew straight into one of the wooden tree houses, lower jaw first. A loud crunching sound ringing out.

Korine peaked out from under her jacket, looking at Munashi, "C-can we move the baot at all right now? I don't like sitting still here." She stammered out, trying to ask for the boat to be moved, looking for Munashi to do something.

But by that time it was a little late. The earth started to rise up, ready for Michirama to ride at that point, but just as it started to show up, the four boats carrying benders had those four guys moving their bodies in unison, creating a massive fist of water that rose up from under the group's boat, punching straight through the earth and breaking it to pieces, sending chunks out through the air. The benders then leapt and stamped down, bringing their arms up in small circles before shoving their hands outward, sending out spirals of water bullets in a arcing volley that was aimed to rain down like hail.

The first few drops to land weren't anything serious, but when it started to pelt down and their boat creaked and a few boards cracked, splintering off, Korine was squealing for someone to do something!

The remaining four boats were one post from being within melee range of the group. Yahiko is down for the count, Korine is being rained on by heavy water pellets and getting injured unless someone could protect her.
