[color=ed1c24]"Yep! They do, but a great clan's name isn't the only thing to make great shinobi, I'm sure,"[/color] she said almost halfheartedly. Tanji chalked it up to her only trying to make him feel better, but thats fine he knew his place as a small cog in the workings of the Confederate War Machine.
Tanji, shook his head listlessly as if trying to hold on to childish ideas, [color=f7941d]"That, may be true but you've got to admit, almost every great ninja was the successor of someone equally as great, people don't become great on moxy alone."[/color] He motioned to the Hyuga ahead of him making sure to be silent enough to not be overheard, "take him for example, even with uh-questionable- parentage the blood of his clan alone makes him great, in fact, I think under that harsh exterior of his lies a heart of gol-" Tanji was unceremoniously pushed aside,[color=gray]  “What did you say, you fucking dipshit?”[/color]. Fortunately it wasn't directed an Tanji or the Uchiha, and instead stormed down the stairway again. 

The Hyuga had directed his ire upon another shinobi, this one also taking the form of the Hyuga.[color=ed1c24]"Has anyone else taken his appearance?"[/color], the Uchiha asked. An astute observation and a likely possibility, but just to be sure Tanji double checked his chakra to make sure he didn't have any wayward clones lying around. Fortunately he had none, unfortunately some poor sap was destined to experience a repeat of what happened just a few moment ago. [color=f7941d]Oh boy, here we go again[/color], as the Hyuga gave a powerful overhead attack causing the ...clone? to quickly dissipate flaring up the attacker's anger once again. A few choice insults and accusations to (another) red head. Hopefully this won't be too bad this time around, surely the Hyuga has coole- A large column of dust was formed but the Hyuga just walked passed it still baring down on his target.

Who promptly bowed himself into surrender. [i][color=f7941d]Smart man,[/color][/i] Tanji thought. Better to have a broken spirit than a broken everything, not to say that the red-head wasn't unimpressive, just that it would have been better for all parties involved if the two not kill each other. Tanji thought about just letting the Hyuga have at it, then it occured to him, [i][color=f7941d]Ah, fuck what if he doesn't let this slide. That shit hurts, yo.[/color][/i] He ran towards the Hyuga putting his hand consolingly on his shoulder, "Hey man, its uh- its not worth it you know? I mean come on he's bowing and shit, so honor and all that, right? Right?" He whispered silently to the red-head on the ground while still trying to maintain eye contact with the Hyuga, [color=f7941d]"*psst* pick your head up his shit hurts man, I know your into that honor shit, but I think its better to cut your losses and swallow your pride and try not to offer yourself up on a silver platter."[/color]

He hoped dearly the Hyuga would see some reason, otherwise he just put himself into a very deadly personal zone of a Hyuga, and wondered why he didn't just send a clone.
