People had been revealing their combat style, everyone except Nathaniel, why because he didn't feel saying it especially since Shingetsu was eager to start a fight. It would of been fun but really unnecessary considering their predicament but the Kirigakure Ninja stopped himself from taking it too far. that was truly commendable Nathaniel was beginning to like this kid.
Everyone was staring at Ayane for Ideas for what next even Nathaniel was curious as to what she said but she then excused herself. She went without a partner but Nathaniel didn't care She was most capable of protecting herself right? Wrong soon three unmarked people bearing no allegiance to any particular village emerged from the bushes. Nathans eye's glanced over each of them.
There was the short one he seemed not much of a problem but looks can be very deceiving and a female with a kimono yet the one that stood out the most however was the burly one with the huge muscles, he stood out because of what he was carrying. Aryan was helpless in his arms time seemed to slow, words were said but they carried no meaning, then the Crack reached Nathaniel's ear's and something stirred within his head. A bitter memory, it was becoming suppressed by Nathaniel's desire to avenge an innocent's death. He hardly knew her, Sure, but that didn't mean she had to die then as an Ayanes limp body was discarded much to Nathaniel's disgust, a shudder went through his body at the second Crack.
Then everything suddenly began moving quickly, the Kirigakure Girl was the instigator, already leaping at the trio and whipping up large amounts of dust as her fist impacted the ground, She was going after the burly guy along with Shingetsu. Zee was going after the Kimono woman. so that left Nathan with the little guy. He would sweep the floor with the midget and go back and help his fellow Ninja.
So Nathan began his pursuit of the little guy which lead him away from the group. He is trying to isolate me so I won't have the aid of my teammate's Nathaniel thought No matter its not as if the guy's a threat in fact, it makes my job easier because I don't have to worry about his buddy's Nathaniel began preparing the hand seals necessary for the summoning technique but suddenly the small guy was in front of him and kicked his hand's interrupting the technique. "Sorry Sir" The man said with a sneer "but I am afraid I cannot let you do that"
Then the kicks and punch's came raining down blow after blow, Nathaniel tried in vain to defend himself. He was Vastly outmatched at Taijutsu, the punch's and the kick's hit his head and arms causing sharp throbs of pain. Nathan tried reaching for a Kunai with an explosive tag, he pulled it out yet took a sharp kick to the leg and had to kneel down, he threw the Kunai at the individual who dodged it and it exploded behind the man They where both disoriented by the explosive. Nathaniel struggled to his feet frantically going for another Kunai, but this one had no such tag. The other man was already covering the gap.
The Man kicked at his feet trying to send him down, there was a sharp crack, Nathaniel was down a leg, he didn't know if his ankle had been sprained or his foot had been broken, he didn't care, the adrenaline was numbing the pain albeit marginally, The foot came down and kicked him in the face. White light exploded across Nathan's vision as his head jerked back at the force, Nathan's hand reached out and grabbed the Mans leg.
"Let go of me runt" The short man said, kicking Nathan repeatedly in an effort to get him to release him, through squinted eye's Nathan plunged the Kunai into the man's leg, receiving a sharp kick to the head in return that sent him sprawling across the dirt, the shorty wouldn't be running anymore but Nathaniel was in a worse condition, his leg had been broken and he was bleeding from the forehead as well as blurred vision. He started to preform the summoning technique much to the chagrin of the shorty who began trying to close the gap, but the Kunai in his leg was slowing him down.
The hand seal's finished and Nathanial wiped his brow with his left hand rubbing his blood onto his hand, he planted his hand on the ground "Summoning Technique" the seal's spread outwards from his palm as he coughed up some blood, that was a puff of smoke and summoned in front of him was a fox about the size of an elephant. Nathaniel propped himself up on his arm as he clutched his head before saying
"let him have it"
