[color=f7941d][b]"Hehehe." [/b][/color] Opening a door, he entered a building as if he didn't have a care in the world. He was a stark contrast to the scene around him. Bodies and debris littered the street, a battle had happened between the 7 swordsman, and the rest of the Mist. It was bloody to say the least. His apathy to it didn't preclude him from it though, and a kunai was put to his throat. [b]"What are you doing here, coward? Aren't you with the Mizukage?"[/b] Mitsunari's grin didn't fade. His robes shuffled, but that was it, he didn't look to trouble, which made the man press the kunai harder. Mitsunari's voice became pressed. [b][color=f7941d]"Coward? Come on, I'm a Takeda. [u]You've got me all wrong[/u]." [/color][/b] The kunai's press was lessened, and the man looked troubled. [b]"[i]Have I got you all wrong...?[/i] What are you here for, for the Mizukage, or for the 7 swordsman?"[/b] [b][color=f7941d]"I'm here for myself. I just want to talk to your little rebel group."[/color][/b] [b]"What would 'just talking' solve. We are going to return the Hidden Mist to its rich roots. It's too soft, if a war broke out, we'd be killed. You aren't going to stop that just by talking."[/b] [b][color=f7941d]"Oh, by all means, let it. I just want to see them. [u]You do want that[/u]. I'm a mighty Takeda, I'm inspiring, maybe you'll inspire me to join you."[/color][/b] [b]"[i]I do want that[/i]. Maybe you could help us out. Once you see us, you're bound to agree with us."[/b] The man relented his grip, allowing Mitsunari to get his first real look at the man. An older man, missing an eye. His remaining eye was harsh and stern. A small pony tail in back, and small beard around his face. He pointed toward deeper into the ruins of the battle, and headed off towards it. Mitsunari's smile faded for a second, his hands left their robes, revealing themselves in a handsign, which he had held the entire time he had talked to the man. He pressed his fingers to the small cut across his neck. It wasn't deep, but it reminded him to be more careful, he did not want to get hurt. It'd be embarrassing for the Takeda clan. As he approached a group of the rebels, they angrily shouted at the man, drawing their weapons, and his cape rustled again as he made the handsigns. [b][color=f7941d]"Ieyasu! The hell do you think you're doing, bringing a loyalist here."[/color][/b] Mitsunari kept his hands inside his cape, even as they draw their weapons. [b][color=f26522]"[u]I'm a friend[/u], and who doesn't want a Takeda for a friend!? I just wanted to talk for a minute, and [u]you all want that.[/u]"[/color][/b] The men didn't change their stance, but didn't come any closer. Mitsunari clicked his tongue. The entire crowd seemed memorized for a minute. [i]Takeda Style: Devil's Temptation.[/i] [b][color=f7941d]"You fight for the right reasons, fight harder, but the 7 swordsman are just like the Mizukage. Kill them all."[/color][/b] With that, he clicked his tongue again, and suddenly they left the trance, and moved again, their weapons moving towards him. Mitsunari's smile widened, letting go of a handsign. [color=f7941d][b]"No match for the Takeda clan!"[/b][/color] Like that, he ran like a bitch, as fast as he could, swirving behind a building. The crowd turned their weapons at him, raining kunai after him. He screamed like a girl as one his him in the left shoulder. In the end, they gave up chasing him. One of the rebels turned to the other as they gave up chasing him. [b]"Hey, Hanbei. I was thinking, we're fighting for the right reasons, I say we keep giving the Mizukage hell... but I ain't so sure about our leaders. What makes them different than the Mizukage?"[/b] In the far distance, Mitsunari stumbled forward, his grin back. [b][color=f7941d]"Let's make this more interesting. Mindless idiots like that'll share their 'brilliant idea' with the rest. Hardest thing to kill isn't a person, it's a 'brilliant idea'. The Takeda clan can then win everything. For the Takeda! Hehehe. Ow, that smarts. I hate getting hurt. It gives a bad image to the clan."[/color][/b]
