As Ai made her way through the buildings towards Koma's position, she suddenly cursed, and ducked behind a building. Another clone stood on a rooftop; or was it the original? Either way, it complicated things. Ai took a breath. She had confidence in Koma. She was a Jonin. So was Ai. The rank was a show of faith by their leader. Ai wasn't going to betray that. In a sense, she was still in debt to the Tsuchikage. 

Ai sighed, and cracked her neck. On one hand, all this business of getting stronger, of prestige, and proving yourself had absolutely zero interest for her. On the other hand, Ai HATED debt. She just wanted to live how she wanted. She just couldn't if she felt indebted. She had to pay something back to the Tsuchikage. Ai gulped, now as mentally prepared as she was going to get. 

Walking out, she eyed the other enemy on the rooftops, and brandished a card as a threat. Barrier cards still orbited the jonin protectively. Ai would prefer to get the jump on him, but wasn't stupid enough to try when she knew she'd been seen.

Ai moved, body flickering towards him, trying to slap a seal on his chest.

Kaito wasn't exactly surprised to be found so quickly, those eyes were the bane of Kaito's existence. Still, it wasn't like they would be a problem for too long. Problems were meant to be solved.

[color=7ea7d8]"Waste your time? I'm assuming you mean the few weeks to recover once I've broken the other arm? That'd certainly be time wasted, hehehe." [i]Afterall, a jutsu will never work on me twice.[/i] "But no, I'm not here for that. I suppose I could join you, though to be honest, I'm here to make sure you lot don't start anything in the village, and because I'm curious. Well then, let's fill my curiosity."[/color]

Without waiting a second confirmation, Kaito walked with the group. He tapped his chin. 

[color=7ea7d8]"Of course, being found taking my own orders could be nasty. I hear the Hyuga wasn't the only failure on the road to Jonin, someone in the Rain also didn't make it. Well, let's try this instead."[/color]

A handsign later and he ever so slightly changed his appearance with a transformation jutsu. He'd become a few inches taller, a bit more muscular, and his headband now appeared to belong to the Leaf.

He hurried along with the group towards Kai, and towards Havoc. He surprisingly kept his quips to a minimum and really did seem more interested in observing than making a nuisance of himself. Nousagi was an easy read, so Kaito looked back and forth between his teammates, mostly curious at their reaction his sudden joining, if they had questions, or were they aggravated. The longer they went, the more his attention would shift to Tashiro. The interesting one.
