Since the mission in Raijin, he had only seen the green-haired chuunin as a liability. And now, he was perhaps one of his greatest confidants. Weird how the world worked. [b]N[/b]ow to tie up the sleeping Ronin. To make it easier, he waited for Haruka to place him against the tree before knotting the samurai himself. Once done, he raised out his crouch and with a meaningful stare, bent his head to Haruka in appreciation. [color=red] “[b]I[/b] owe you a great deal,”[/color] he said after lifting his head back up. [color=red] “[b]A[/b]nd I owe you an apology. Though I've never came out directly and told you, I've always thought you to be baggage. But … today, you've prove me wrong. You're not wearing that flak-jacket for no reason.”[/color] [b]S[/b]miling, he strolled passed Haruka and upon seeing the group surrounding an unknown, approached. His walk was brisk and his involvement cautious. He didn't want to intrude on a important gathering of the team-leaders. Raising his brow, he caught Yamato amongst them. Reflexively his jaw tensed with agitation. [b]C[/b]aptain Ayame wa there as well and though she had played along with Haruka; the group around her made him nervous. Some would call it being egotistical but Daiki just want to be sure his secret was safe. As the others began to speak, Daiki quickly registered the unknown as Saburo. Apparently he was the one being interrogated about Hideyoshi's disappearance. [color=red] [i][b]D[/b]id Captain Sawada die?[/i][/color] [b]Hmm.[/b] When the conclusion came, Daiki stuck his hand in his pocket and like the others dispersed. Before he could get far though, Sentou approached with a rather iffy demand. He looked around himself, the Kannabi Bridge was rather dull, not much there. [color=red][i]Buffet?[/i][/color] he wondered before replying back. [color=red] “[b]Y[/b]ea, not gonna happen. I don't have anything to discuss with you, Sentou. We should keep our minds on the mission at hand. Not whimsical thoughts.”[/color]He stepped onward with those words in the air. [b]H[/b]e sauntered about, taking note of the greenery and Kannabi Bridge itself. It was a spectacular display of lasting craftsmanship. It was impressive until a arrogant Minamoru invaded his sight. Daiki only stared. At the moment, the current mission was of the most importance but just looking at Yamato brought angst. Somewhere in Konoha right now, there was the Yakuza and Rejio was heading one of its vile nests. Spreading its plague through the village he loved. [color=red][i][b]D[/b]amned bastard. 'Paid him no mind before the pool-party debacle … but now he pisses me off without saying anything to me,[/i][/color] he thought, heading to the sturdy tree not too far from the bridge. [b]D[/b]aiki leaned against the tree, his leg curled in while the other was bent at the knee. If only for a moment, he would try to get some rest. Not like he was tired but it was always good to be able to close his eyes and just watch everything disappear.
