His feet edged the roof he stood on, ready to descend and pay them back for the resource taken from him. However, Yopparai, in a loud bark urged against it. Reluctantly, Tsukiya listened. [b]A[/b]s soon as the white-haired man returned, Tsukiya crossed his arms impatiently. Yopparai explained that one was wounded and wielded the famous Byakugan. What he proposed was foreign to him but he wasn't above it. It seemed fair. They had taken a valuable information broker from him, so a new ocular or even the entire being would be given in penance. A light smirk touched his pale lips. [color=lightblue][b] “S[/b]ometimes I forget how smart you can be.”[/color] Tsukiya let his arms unfold from his chest once Yopparai launched off the roof and towards the home. He stared with anticipation as Shibuki wrecked a hole in the side of the home. He landed near with muted thuds before starting his approach. As he walked, his kekkai genkai, Kokuoken was activated. The space of his sphere stretched thirty meters out, encompassing well pass the home. He would not tolerate would-be escapes and he never took chances with enemies. [b]H[/b]e weaved five seals with a single hand. [color=lightblue] [b] “L[/b]ockdown,”[/color] he said as the earth shook and made a make-shift cage of rock. Thirty meters high and thirty meters in radius, all that existed of a exit was a singular four-foot hole at the apex of it. Which meant the ninja inside, who believed they would escape would only be met with a wall of dark, hard rock. [b]W[/b]hat he saw inside the home had little effect on his frown; Tsukiya saw that a ninja was confronting Yopparai with visibly chakra-enhanced wires. The work of his space if they weren't already visible. Tsukiya maintained four feet between him and Yopparai, surprised that they would even consider putting up a fight against the swordsman. He was a daunting foe for any person. [b]O[/b]ne of the ninja, in a hurry to escape, threw explosive kunai towards them. The act of which was known—through the mist—due to them being in his space. He outstretched a hand towards the metal and redirected it towards him and the one with the girl on its shoulder. He wondered how they would fair with the concussive blast since they were retreating. How their minds would try and comprehend his sight through the mist. It was always fun to watch. [color=lightblue][b] “G[/b]et it together, Yopparai. Don't make me regret bringing you along,”[/color] he said with a slight smirk. He let his arms sink into his black cloak and with their positions clear in his mind. He floated up into the sky and like a darkened deity, looked down on them with malice. [color=lightblue][b] “Y[/b]ou have two options,”[/color] he told them, hoping to provide Yopparai time to advance upon them. [color=lightblue] [b] “O[/b]ne, give me the girl with the Byakugan. Or two, die … And I rip them from her sockets anyway.”[/color] His explanation would leave little known about his motives for attacking them, perhaps sending fear and apprehension into them. Perhaps not.

He stuck his hands into his pants pocket, his flak-jacket uncomfortably rubbed against his neck. He tilted it back and rolled it before ignoring the other ninja and waiting for the meeting to start as well. [b]L[/b]ately, Avaron had been occupying his mind. He needed to find a way to separate himself from her but for whatever reason, he found it impossible to accomplish. With a sudden shake of his head, he let the thoughts fly from his ears and focused on the Hokage again. [color=red][b] “T[/b]his is going to be a long day,”[/color] he muttered before catching sight of a boy attempting to grasp the attention of another. He reached over with a long arm and placed his hand on the lad's shoulder. [color=red][b] “E[/b]yes front, kid.”[/color] The boy turned back around without a word, leaving Daiki to do the same.
