[During Your Opponent's Attack]

A timing header for Support effects you can activate while your opponent is attacking. First confirmed on Shikamaru Nara (N-008) — summon this card and interrupt that attack — it matches the official site's pitch: "Use Chakra to activate face down support cards. Unleash Ninjutsu to stop their attacks!" It has since appeared on Jiraiya (N-006), Karin (N-010), Hinata Hyuga, Sakura Haruno, and Orochimaru; at six cards it is the most common Support timing confirmed so far. The effects fall into four families: K.O. (Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Hinata), interrupting the attack (Shikamaru), bounce (Sakura), and Life gain (Karin). Note that only Shikamaru's text refers to "that attack" — the other five never state that the attack stops, and what becomes of an attack when the attacker is K.O.'d has not been announced.

The rulebook and comprehensive rules are not yet public, so the official definition and handling of this notation are unannounced. The above records what can be confirmed from card faces and official announcements, and may change once the rules are published.
