James disappeared in a shunshin, reappearing crouched on the ceiling inside the temple, using chakra to stay in place as he watched them. After staying in place long enough to gather enough nature energy for sage mode, he dropped behind the ones who killed Megumi's dad, slowly drawing a Kunai. He took one glance over at Megumi in the shadows before shoving the kunai through the throat of one, then slapped a high-powered explosive note on the other one's back. He vanished over to beside Megumi in the shadows and made the hand seal for Ram, and looked over at Megumi, before looking at the person behind her.
