Listening, the shade tilted his head and raised an eyebrow slightly, finding himself mildly intrigued by the man's proposition. However, he did not enjoy killing, though if his strike killed the man it would be the end of his encounter. On the other hand, doing so was rather boring and risky as he'd then be fairly close to the man as a strike that would easily be fatal was one that he'd rather deliver at close range, not that such was a requirement.

[color=#000000][B]"You seem to have come a long way, and while you are right, I would much prefer offering you a fair chance."[/B][/color] He smiled slightly, [color=#000000][B]"Both in combat and in life, after all you seem the worthy sort."[/B][/color]

His smile faded and he raised his hand before him, palm faced up as he began to mold chakra within himself, [color=#000000][B]"But if you insist I can certainly deliver,"[/B][/color] his eyes briefly darkened, before lightening as he searched the man's face for a reply. [color=#000000][B]"Regardless, I would know your name prior, so that at least a grave my be laid. All men deserve that much."[/B][/color]
