[Against maybe all odds, Naruto is grinning as he shouts the words back. Bolin had pointed them to a fairly dense group of soldiers and it's only a matter of time before the numbers tip the balance in their favor. Naruto trusts his taijutsu- without meditating and by extension, without being able to become a Sage here- he can't feel the attacks before they reach him, but his instincts are enough to keep his head above metaphorical water.
A spell is fired from his right and Naruto wraps his gravity magic around it, imagining the ability like two hands that grab hold of it and pull it off course. It leaves an explosion of fire sailing just inches from him to crash into the ground. The swing of an axe follows because even though he's stopped the magic from hitting him, he hasn't stopped the soldiers themselves. He swings himself up and over, stepping onto the blade of the axe as if it's a ledge to leap from and pitching the soldier into the ground in the process. He's running low on kunai and knows he has maybe four more left, they need to last because even if he was able to pin someone with each of them, it's still not enough for the crowd that's been drawn.
He flings two more- catching a soldier in the shoulder and causing another to trip in order to avoid being hit, but it's not without cost.] Plamevoda! [Naruto's feet hit the ground and the heat is everywhere. Knee deep in lava Naruto bites out a cry, feels his body sink into the uneven earth- and then it begins to lock up- a cooling spell that solidifies the lava into rock.]
