Takeshi followed behind all of them, he hadn't got a answer from Ayame, it didn't matter to him. His mind was set. Keeping silent while everyone else talked around him as snow gently fell. watching his own breath he became more absent minded as the minutes past, frankly: he lost all interesting in his mission and wanted to head back to the hidden leaf soon. in the corner of his eye he could see Akio, Saburo, Sentou and Yamato all doing their own thing.

[color=0072bc]"For someone whose goal is to become Hokage, you're calling quits already? Are you afraid scaredycat?"[/color] It was Sentou usual jabbing alright...and yet it fitted him perfectly.

[color=00a651]'I'm not strong, that whole mind- soul searching is nothing more that the starting line. I am what i was week ago.'[/color] but his yellow eye told him something else. [color=00a651]"I'm not to get strong being in the hidden leaf...i'll become a Rouge ninja if i have to."[/color] As Takeshi's self pity was needed: to get strong, you need to admit your weakness.

But it needed to stop. Feeling a rush of anxiety and fear he quickly landed on the ground. He noticed that everyone else had stopped moving, even the Jounin had noticed something wrong. Takeshi pulled out his balisong knives as readied himself or any signs of attack. However it never happened, but instead a man with...majestic clothing, he was more weirder than Takeshi.

That was a statement. 

[color=fff200]"The coast is clear, my mistress~"[/color] He spoke behind him, which there was no one beside or behind him. Raising an eyebrow, he was getting more fuddled and confused by this dude. Bowing to someone Takeshi could now see the figure of a woman approaching them, as the figure got more clearing Takeshi eye widened at her presence: this woman was none other than Kusaru Tsurenai of the Keihatsu.

[color=00a651]"Why on earth is she here, is it a mere coincidence? No...this area and this situation....it's much more than that."[/color] Takeshi keep a calm face on as Kusaru started talking to the Jounins of the main group. She was scanning everyone, he could have swore that her eyes lingered on other more than other, Her eyes merely passed over him like a fly.

Gian, who was Kusaru's comrade stepped in front of her as he giggled lightly [color=fff200]"Kuku~ Mistress, I feel like a sort of tension in the air! Is it freeball if they cross the line?"[/color]

It happened...that same sickness in his stomach returned again, worser than ever. Dropping his balisong knives on pure reaction, he shivered at Gian's pressure on all of them. His  mind told him to retreat, urging to do so, his feet dragged backwards before he got a hold on him. [color=00a651]"Am i scared....damn right i'm shit scared!"[/color] takeshi forced a smile [color=00a651]"But this fear....his sensation...this is what it's like to look down on someone huh?"[/color] kneeling down and picking up his knives as gripped them like it was his lifeline.[color=00a651] "Then....i've got a long road ahead on me....just like an old saying: The first impression is always the best!"[/color] While his inner thought were going he saw, Yamato, Sentou, Daiki, Akio and Saburo were all attacking Gian.

Why? They hadn't done anything to them, shaking his head Takeshi decided to back them up.

[color=00a651]"Fine then, let's see if this works!"[/color] Takeshi quickly looked around at the most tallest tree in the area as he ran towards it before dashing upwards. As he got to the top, he springboarded of the Stalk as he got a bird's eye view over everything. Closing his eyes as slowly performed his hand signs before he got right above Gian as everyone was attacking him. [color=00a651]"This is my first step to becoming strong!"[/color]

[color=00a651][u][b]"Katon Hidora no Jutsu (Fire Release: Hydra Technique)!"[/b][/u][/color] Takeshi filled himself with power before spew out three large Hydras made of fire, hissing with the fire that danced on them they all charged at the masked man, Takeshi took out his right Balisong knife, it was attached to a long wire at the end. lassoing a few times as threw it at a nearby tree as he grappled his way towards it and landed safely. Calming his breathing he charged him Chakra that remained to fired himself up. He saw that he was on the right side of the battlefield, allowing him to think quick. [color=00a651]"It's stupid, but it may catch him off guard."[/color] Gripping his knives, he channeled his energy to them, quickly igniting on fire. Skidding down the tree he was standing on, he kept an eye on any movements before lining himself from the ground and Gian's midsection. Bending his knees he threw his left knife at high speed towards Gian before doing a 180 and cutting the tree that was lined up with Gian. Moving out of the tree that was falling he glared at Kusaru.

By now everyone would have heard the tree falling and moved out of the way.

[color=00a651]"I'm not good on the front lines...not as i am now, i'll leave it to the other. Like Akio i'll support from the distance!"[/color] He got ready for anything that that Gian and Kusaru as in store for them. It was time to trust the other and hopefully they would trust him to do this job.
