Yu was passing through the lands not really looking for trouble. He wasn't a tourist. Even if he was he wouldn't be roaming the streets he was now. Saying they were a sight for soar eyes would be an understatement. The information he had gotten from the last tavern he'd chanced upon was that it probably wan't a good idea to go through those lands alone. Apparently it was more than a jungle out there. Well, other patrons called it a heaven also alluding to the abundance of high priced bounties who had made those lands their home.
The tales didn't really bother Yu however he still made a mental note to be extra alert in his travel. His alertness paid dividend when out of nowhere a young-looking female ambushed him. The first Yu noticed of the battle to come was an abrupt tremor in the ground followed by a girl running at him sword in hand.
Yu immediately assumed a more stable stance by planting his feet further apart and crouching slightly to lower his center of gravity. He also channeled chakra into his feet to fasten himself to the ground as he did this to reinforce his position and prevent him from falling. As the shuriken travel toward Yu he stretched his left hand toward it and caused a shield made of water to appear so that it blocks the tools. As he was doing this, he pulled out a kunai in a reverse grip manner with his right hand, in anticipation of the CQC encounter which seemed imminent.
"Who are you?" he asked in an attempt to avoid having to attack the lady.
