Naruto: Of Compassion and Tyranny

Ryozan breathed a sigh of relief as both of the diners stepped outside, though upon seeing Takeo's demeanor, he didn't think the man was in the mood to take any hostile actions, regardless of whether or not he was a rebel. From his demeanor, Ryozan never would have even suspected him were it not for his association with Matsuka. But now the beastmaster sealed his suspicions, heading outside for a private conversation that was uncharacteristically quiet given the scenario; people didn't typically respond to jesting friends with secluded discourse. Takeo hadn't done anything suspicious, and in fact seemed to have brilliant camouflage in that he seemed like he was an integral part of the social environment he took part of. The one chink in his armor was his comrade; Matsuka revealed him as a rebel by association. The question now was: did Takeo know that Ryozan suspected him, and if so, would he act on that knowledge? If he brought the identities of two rebels to the Empire's attention, he could certainly secure himself a good position. On the other hand, the rebels may be inclined to nip the possibility in the bud. He stared down at his empty bowl of ramen. There was no point in staying here much longer, but he didn't feel safe just leaving the situation as it was. Perhaps there were some parting words he could give them that would ease their concerns...

Ryozan nodded at Matsuka's retort about a ramen stand being a bad place to set up an ambush. She was clearly well-versed in the art of war, and was definitely worthy of her rank of jounin, but Ryozan was beginning to enjoy this hypothetical duel too much to just let it rest at that. Besides, now he had the feeling that she was pretty firmly opposed to the Empire, if not an outright rebel. Why would a supporter's fingers need to be a mere flick away from opening a summoning scroll just from being in the presence of one holding an imperial document? It revealed hostility toward the empire, and was far from a submissive posture to take. She certainly fit the demeanor of a rebel. Still, Ryozan decided to continue with the hypothetical scenario: "You are assuming of course that said backup is not in said ramen stand." That didn't come out right; it didn't sound nearly as ominous in his head. Fortunately a quirky old man arrived to diffuse some of the tension.

Ryozan recognized the man as Takeo Watanabe, a highly distinguished shinobi in Konohagakure, as well as other parts of the world; the leaf symbol carved into his shoulder guard made his identity unmistakable. What surprised the young jounin, though, was that such a distinguished figure would make such a lewd comment. "With all due respect sir, you are mistaken," he said, not at all flustered since it was pretty obvious that he was just trying to tease his friend... his friend. The gears were turning now. If Matsuka was allied with the rebels, and Takeo was her friend, it was likely that he would be a rebel as well... or at least unhappy to see someone with an imperial scroll. Was he one of those who would be happy to put a blade in his side? Being surrounded by elite jounin was a bit more than he had bargained for; perhaps now was the time to take Matsuka's advice and tuck the scroll away... No. It was too late for that now. A shinobi like Takeo would easily see such a reckless move. Doing nothing with the scroll would be the least suspicious thing he could do now. Well, that and taking another bite of ramen.

The Empire's 'motives' are meh to me.

I'm just waiting for the Gurren Lagann twist where it turns out that the Empress is only oppressing people to save them from a greater evil.

you're just going to ditch Matsuka while I was patiently waiting for Durn to edit their post and are now going to just completely ignore it?Oh, he already left. I didn't notice until I edited my post. I edited my post by the way Ruru

And I edited my post Chuk, so we should be good to go.

So, I take it we're deciding to disregard the crazy fireball post?

So, shall we all just pretend that the battle at the ramen stand was somebody's Sharingan going out of control and plunging everybody into an epic genjutsu? lol.

Sometimes I like to think about how OP Kakashi would've been an uchiha with the rinnegan.

How About if you take Hiei's demon form from Yu Yu Hakusho, Let him keep the Jagan eye, but make all the extra eyes Sharingans, Byakugans, and Rinnegans. Now THAT is op.

Ryozan stared straight ahead as Matsuka commented on his scroll. Based on how she spoke, she certainly did not seem to be a supporter of the empire; out of the corner of his eye he saw her hands hovering near her summoning scrolls, ready to call out some kind of formidable beast if he did prove to be a threat. At the same time, her words did not seem hostile. If she believed he was with the empire and wanted harm to come to him, she simply would have let one of those "unfriendly" people do him in. Was she hovering between the two sides like him, or was her warning one of legitimate mercy? Perhaps some further conversation would reveal where her feelings sat.

"You assume that I am alone and that I wish to stay safe," Ryozan said just as his bowl of ramen arrived. "It is difficult to people when they are hiding, but their presence becomes clear when they are attacking." He broke his chopsticks apart and began stirring his food, waiting for it to cool down. "Logically, if somebody wanted to find a particular group of people, the best method would be to provoke them to attack." His ramen now cool, he calmly raised some noodles to his mouth and quietly slurped up a small bite. "Then again, if those were my motives, I certainly would not be discussing them with you." He hoped that his speech didn't come across as threatening. He was just so bad at making small talk that he often defaulted to discussing tactics, but given the tension of the situation, perhaps it wasn't the best choice.

You realize that a senpai is an upperclassmen right? And that Matsuka is almost twice his age and hasn't been in school for over a decade?

Senpai isn't just upperclassman. It's also used as a senior member in a group outside of school, like sports teams.
