[color=8882be]"Well, when you put it that way..."[/color] Ocha smiled, as if entertained by this whole ordeal. The weapon pointed in his direction didn't really seem to worry him, which became shockingly obvious when it fell apart into water. Sitting off to the side, in the next cell over, was Ocha Kyusu, the real one this time. He smiled, showing off his teeth when he did so. [color=8882be]"I recommend you not threaten my water clones. Though you clearly knew that wasn't me, correct?"[/color] Utilizing the water clone technique, and his illusionary mist, he had created the most convincing clone in the next cell over, while erasing his existence from where he sat. But judging from how he still remained in the blast radius of Seijuro's threat, it was overly clear that the puppet master too enjoyed games of a sort. [color=8882be]"Very well, to spare the people of Iwagakure from dealing with your presence any longer, I supposed you and I could have our discussion at your base."[/color] He stood up, pushing the door open as he did. Walking over to Seijuro, he placed his hands on his hips. [color=8882be]"Though, if the Tsuchikage had cameras listening in on our conversation... Maybe you'll be kind enough to help me out later now that this... Attempted kidnapping proves my innocence."[/color] He rolled his eyes at the wall, though it was directly situated at one of the cameras. 

[color=8882be]"Now make it fast, I have things to do. A village to run. Sano can testify to it. Running a village is haaaard."[/color] He was all smiles as he opened up the large puppet's torso. Taking a step inside he sat back, getting rather comfy despite the dangers. The Mizukage was aware that if this was an assassination attempt, they'd probably have nuked the building in one go, rather than try to get him into privacy. This metal puppet clearly for his own protection, and to make it so he isn't spotted during the escape. Worked for him, kinda. [color=8882be]"Keep in mind, if your tea quality isn't any good, I'll be leaving."[/color] He added, as a little quip of his own.

Jaakuna had to admit, his opponent was good. Back and forth, they seemed to dance together pretty well. He anticipated each blow as the cloak of the nine tails began to manifest around his body, increasing his speed as his attacks chained together. He even managed to get in a cartwheel at one point, which was always a joy in a close range fight. [color=ed1c24]"Purple, really? I've always been partial to red. Purple is more a royal color to be honest. Hard to pull off."[/color] Jaakuna teased at Kisuke while swiping his fan through the air and over his opponents head. 

He got lucky to be honest. He sensed the attack through Kisuke's emotions before it came, giving him a nanosecond of extra time to react. His grip loosened on his fan, and he let it fall. Grabbing the handle as the fan came between him and Kisuke, just as the spear came rocketing out. The spear tore through the fan, and suddenly there was a hole on Jaakuna's left side. Not a particularly large one, but large enough that it hurt. It hurt a great deal, and cracks began to grow rapidly along his body as he leapt away. Hand on his side, the wound began to rapidly heal, as if stitching itself back together using the rest of him as glue. The splattering of dark colored blood that hit the ground made his mortality questionable, but the need to avoid injury made it clear that he sought to avoid injury. 

[color=ed1c24]"Personally? While I'm here I want to pick up where I left off. I want to be Hokage."[/color] Jaakuna said, now fully healed in the short time span. But the cracks along his body where noticeably more defined by the experience. [color=ed1c24]"Yeah, I know that won't happen. Heck, I fully expect to die by then. But, living again? I might as well have some more fun with it."[/color] He was already moving, attacking up close again. But this time with fire. When Kisuke would move to avoid his first strike, one of the wisps that followed him would be expended, and a wave of fire burst out. A distraction though, since his goal was to get past the shinobi and make his daring escape. [color=ed1c24]"Now my question for you, and swear to honesty here... Who do you work for, really?"[/color]

[color=bc8dbf]"Well, captain, promise me you'll do a good job."[/color] Nousagi grumbled, directing a fair deal of resentment in Tashiro's direction. The water user seemed more like baggage to him, but the choice for team leader seemed obvious enough. He at least respected Kurin's judgement, since the Senju was set in inherit his clan's leadership. Tashiro seemed ready to inherit nothing. Turning to his radio he hit the button to contact Kai. 
[color=bc8dbf]"Kai, did you make sure to follow the attackers? You're probably the only sensible person here."[/color] Nousagi added that last bit on a whim, and mostly to spite Tashiro who he know could hear him. [color=bc8dbf]"Yogensha told us they've stopped at a cave, but judging from... Well the scenario I believe she's just trying to distract us."[/color] He added that last bit once they had left the village, knowing that the anbu had now left them to their own devices. [color=bc8dbf]"But, inspecting the cave may be just as useful, though... That decision rests entirely on our NEW leader. Dirt boy is going to be leading. I guess Kurin decided to give him a chance to prove himself."[/color] Nousagi chuckled at the idea. 

But, he paused. His eyes narrowed and he turned to look behind himself. [color=bc8dbf]"Are you going to just follow, or do you want to join us?"[/color] He smirked, having spotted the boy from earlier. Kaito, the name had managed to stick with him. [color=bc8dbf]"Or, maybe you want to waste my time with a rematch. I could always use some proper exercise if you get my drift."[/color] He respect Kaito, a tad. Anybody who was brave enough to not only fight a Hyuuga, but declare a desire to steal away their future was worthy of at least some respect. [color=bc8dbf]"After all, I'm sure our brave leader needs an actual strategist, right?"[/color] He directed that jab at Tashiro, who may actually benefit some from having Kaito on the team. After all, Kaito would redirect some of Nousagi's mistreatment.
