[color=9e0b0f]"Sure thing, dude. I'm clearly one of the responsibles for this attack."[/color] The Iwa nin looked utterly pissed as he talked, stopping just to slam his umbrella shapped weapon into yet another blade that got near him, deflecting it towards his right side. [color=9e0b0f]"That's why I've brought a fucking umbrella. To shield myself from my companions friendly weapon rain."[/color] He managed to finish barely holding his temper, stopping for a dozen or so seconds to catch a breath before he once more directed his words to the Konoha nin. [color=9e0b0f]"Now if you're done with the stupid questions, help me with getting out of this hellhole. I've got no freaking idea about where stupid village is and how should I get there."[/color] [center][color=9e0b0f][h2][u][b]Kamui Uzumaki[/b][i][/i][/u][/h2][/color] [img]https://i.imgur.com/nCe7JOi.png[/img] [COLOR=silver][sup][b]Konohagakure | Chūnin | Sleepy nin[/b][/sup][/COLOR][/center][hr][INDENT][sup][COLOR=silver][b]TIME:[/b] [i]Present Day - Morning[/i] | [b]LOCATION:[/b] [i]Konohagakure - Forty-Fourth Training Ground[/i] | [b]INTERACTION:[/b] [i] [@Odin] (Meatshield) [@Syn] [@Seraphicide] (Sano, new target) [@Pirouette] [@Savato] (New Meatshields... Maybe) [/i][/COLOR][/sup][/INDENT][hr] Kamui couldn't help but flinch for a second, surprised to the point where he almost didn't manage to guide his hawk to dodge an incoming sword due to how Sakana's not only started giving orders but actually wanted them to go towards the guy with one of the largest chakra pools that Kamui had ever seem, seemingly attracted by a group of Iwa nins that came for the Jounin Exam - something that he would hardly consider as a good idea, for it was already more than clear for Kamui that the odds were completely against them and thus planned to just skip any battling and directly fly towards the village. Something outside of the boy's planning though, as before he could answer to Sakana's order with a fairly healthy advice about how people should avoid munderous looking shark guys with monstrous levels of chakra, one of the Iwa nins started to attack the shark guy, clearly denoting that he wasn't their ally and thus somehow making the odds even - specially when considering that Kamui could detect yet another group of chunnin running to join the battle. In the end, he was forced to once more abide by Sakana's will and make his summon fly lower, giving the other ninja the perfect opportunity to join the fight and then continuing flying towards the south, ultimately deciding to land a few hundred meters away from the main fight, clearly planning to act as an observer unless he was forcefully inserted into the messy battle, as he dismissed his summon and concentrated in expecting the fighting through his sensory technique.

No need to say that this made the fact that the first thing he faced after entering the Land of Fire was the desecrated grave of his teacher even worse. As such, it wasn't surprising that the leader of the village hidden in the grass was already more than pissed when he arrived in his hometown, completely ignoring the need to present himself to the hokage and drinking himself to sleep in an attempt to drown away the urge he had to make a mess out of the village in his search for the guy who dared to mess with his teacher's grave instead. Imagine how happy he was in the following say then, as right after he left his room in a random inn - while still pissed and dealing with a hangover - to grab something to eat in the market district, what he found was a bunch of assholes wreaking havoc in the freaking village while the goddam hokage was away and even worse: they didn't even come in person, using freaking fragile shadow clones instead, completely taking away any satisfaction he could've felt from beating them. As such, it wasn't that surprising that his immediate reaction after receiving an unexpectedly familiar answer from the first clone he managed to have a talk with - for he simply "broke" all the others accidentally before he managed to interrogate them or use them to send a message - was releasing an unnatural amount of killing intent, for it was basically assuming that they were the ones who stole his teacher's body. In the end, thought, it turned out that the situation was much worse that he thought, as before he could actually give voice to his rage the clone revealed something else - something that simply couldn't be faked that easily simply because he was the only one who knew about it besides Jaakuna himself: The clone not only had his teacher's face but, even more disturbingly, seemingly had his memories. For a second, the village leader simply didn't know what to do, facing the empty spot left behind by the clone as he thought about the implications of what just happened. In the end, thought, he simply decided to take the easiest way out of this situation: he'd, as a good shinobi, shut down his emotions for now and do what he needed to do before investigating the situation - he'd, from now on, use his sensor technique to hunt and put down every single clone he could before trying to find Ginsho. After all, he was now responsible enough to know that securing the village was more important than blindly searching for answers - or so he convinced himself in despite of clearly moving away faster than he needed as he disposed of the clones around him, eager to finish what he had to do and track the one responsible for this terrifying mess.
