Several classmates nearby looked on in jealous awe or mild delight, depending on their gender, as Shin removed his jacket and kimono. Shin Maru was known to be well-built, but he wasn't removing his shirt randomly. His intention was to join in on the fun at the lake, and he didn't want to get his nice clothes soaking wet should anything happen. As well, his phone was in his jacket pocket. It was better to put them somewhere safe, and it didn't hurt to show off his body for any of the girls that he intended to socialize with. The shinobi called Topaz put his clothes on an empty lawn chair near the lake, also kicking his shoes off and setting them underneath it.

[color=orange]"Hey, ladies,"[/color] Shin called out casually to several bikini-clad girls frolicking on the lake. His cool and suave demeanor didn't last long. The young man barely stepped onto the water before he could hear a fight breaking out behind him. [color=orange][i]He actually did it,[/i][/color] Shin thought, his smile vanishing as he looked over his shoulder to see Daiki and Yamato going at it. [color=orange][i]And those two aren't holding anything back...[/i][/color] With a sigh, Shin looked forward to the girls he was about to talk to. [color=orange]"Sorry, girls. Give me a moment."[/color]

He calmly brought his hands together to form a single handseal, Ram. The look on his face was uncharacteristic and lacked emotion. He was neither angry nor sad, but rather looked as if he was obligated to perform this technique. Behind him, as Yamato and Daiki were about to finally clash in their potentially deadly attacks, a large and thick crystal, orange in color, erupted from the ground underneath them. The crystal was large enough to encase not only the two real fighters but also Daiki's clone. The Jade Crystal Prison Technique. It was an underhanded attack, in a way, as the fight was not his and the intervention would undoubtedly be unappreciated by both combatants. But Shin knew that letting any fight get out of hand could potentially be worse than simply ruining a party.

His light blue eyes settled on the crystallized fighters as he turned to face them. [color=orange]"You guys are going to kill each other,"[/color] he said simply, stating it like it was a fact rather than a reason to stop. Inside his Crystal Prison they wouldn't be able to move or even respond, but they could definitely hear the outside world. Probably slightly muffled, but shinobi should have good hearing anyways. Shin looked over to Naomi, who was standing nearby. She could definitely get a handle on the situation. Shin was foolish but he knew that once the crystal is removed, there wouldn't be anything physically stopping them from continuing where they left off. They'd also probably have a reason to turn attention to him.

[color=orange]"I'm not going to preach here, but aren't you two getting worked up over nothing? Having a short fuse doesn't help anybody, not even yourselves. No matter how you feel at the moment, a pointless fight will still be a pointless fight at the end of the day."[/color] Shin raised his hand, touching the crystal that had the two trapped. He gave Naomi a serious look, one of a warning. [color=orange]"I'm going to let you two out now. If you two are still going to fight, at least do it without weapons or ninjutsu... You're classmates, guys."[/color] As promised, the orange crystal surrounding Yamato and the two Daiki shattered, disintegrating into nothingness. They were free now. Shin knew that there was a good chance they'd continue, with a small chance one of them might turn on him. Despite this possibility he didn't move an inch, standing hardly a meter away from the two shinobi. Their pride may have been damaged some by his intervention, but Shin believed that they would have a better view of their squabble now.
