Even though he was mostly healed physically, Jaakuna was far from okay. He had little to no chakra left in his reserves and it was taking all he had just to keep a steady walk. On his mind was the face of the Bandaged Name known as Sanguine, the man that stripped him of a legitimate win and the man that surrendered just to rub the fact in Jaakuna’s face that he was miles ahead of him. It made the Sundance Kid sick to his stomach. He felt pathetic.

And then they were at a fork in the road.

[color=goldenrod][b]”What Shin said. I‘m not dying yet, so I don‘t need the hospital.”[/b][/color] Jaakuna was lying, but he wasn’t about to abandon the mission right when It was near its completion. With that, the team would traverse through the village and to the meeting point as Fujitora led them.

[hr]

Everyone seemed to have already arrived. The teams of Chunin and Genin were present and then came the arrival of an odd-looking duo. There was a female who had eyes as white as snow and some clown dude. [color=goldenrod][I]And here I thought Aoi was the only clown around,[/I][/color] Jaakuna looked on with a cautious look on his face. He didn’t know if they were friend or foe, but he would simply wait and see.

It was obvious to anyone with at least ten percent of a brain that the two in front of all of them was someone who seemed familiar to Ayame and Fujitora as seen and heard by the female addressing Ayame and Fujitora directly.

There were a few rounds of words between the only two duos of jounin-level female-male duos, but something that caused a bit of a response from one of the genin was the mentioning of Kirigakure.

[b][color=7ea7d8]“You two are from The Hidden Mist Village?”[/color][/b] Said Rin, her voice more of worry rather than curiosity. 

Jaakuna’s head slightly turned to Rin as he wondered why she would ask such a dumb question. Perhaps it was because her clan migrated from Kiri around 220 years ago. It still made him curious after the fact.

Jaakuna couldn’t be bothered to focus solely on that as new developments were happening, specifically when Yamato rushed in for an attack. That’s when all hell broke loose. However, it wouldn’t last long as Tsukiko would quickly subdue Yamato’s brash and impulsive action, but as for the rest attacking, she couldn’t do anything and neither could Jaakuna. Rin, on the other hand, she would be free to attack if that’s what she wished, but the Little Ice Minx wasn’t budging an inch.
