[attr="class","tearText13"] The people of Umaji were kind but down on their luck, and far too poor to hire the River Countries forces to take care of the bandits that plagued them. While some of the others were helping out around the woodland town, Hotaru and Benjiro took it upon themselves to scout out the nearby bandit camp.

Benjiro wasn’t melded into his body this time, he wanted to test his own abilities, so he led the Yukigakure rogue behind him. He was confident they could handle the low lifes and free the people of their oppression. Besides that, if the River Country wasn’t dealing with the bandits then they probably wouldn’t bother with their small organization setting up shop in their place. He was eager to help those people, they couldn’t last another raid.

They followed a tributary through the guise of the treetops. For the first time in a while he had his bow in hand with a quiver drawn against his back. There were broken shrubs, grasses, and muddy footprints that led the way to the bandit camp. They weren’t being particularly careful about covering their tracks.

As he came to a clearing his eyes fell onto a large hill with a wide jagged mouth. Outside there was a flayed goat on a poker over a fire with three men standing over it. One burly, one curly, and one slim.

Hotaru looked to Benjiro, giving the jounin an opportunity to initiate the encounter if they so desired.

I decided to tag along with Hotaru on this scouting mission. The guy seemed reluctant to accept my help this time or maybe that was just me reading too much into things again. It seemed like a pretty straightforward mission and while I didn’t doubt that Hotaru could handle himself against a group of common bandits… I don’t know. At this point Hotaru is my best friend and one of only about three allies that I completely trust. I guess the point is that I couldn’t think of anything else I’d rather be doing. [break][break]

We soared from branch to branch like the shadows of birds barely rustling a single leaf before alighting near the top of an ancient oak that overlooked a craggy hillside. It always amazed me how few people looked up, even those that were supposed to be on watch. I assume that’s what the three stooges were up to although they might have been on mess duty for all I knew. If they were meant to be on watch they were doing a pretty poor job of it is all I’m saying.[break][break]

I looked to Hotaru to make sure he was ready before letting out a sharp whistle. [break][break]

SPOILER: Click to show

NAME: Kousou [Fighting Confused][break]
DESCRIPTION: After a shrill whistle, the user will cast a Genjutsu over their opponent. After they hear the whistle, it will seem as if the world around them begins to spin. Everything turning upside down, making them almost unable to move without falling over. Leaving the opponent extremely disorientated.

[attr="class","tearText13"] Hotaru drew his bowstring back as Benjiro whistled, and he mimic’d the whistling noise right after him. He was grateful to have one of the best genjutsu specialists in the world to teach him. While this jutsu was fairly simple, the fact that it didn’t occupy his hands made it a simple way to add more to his prowess. Burly and Curly started to stumble around, and Slim scratched his head.

The leaf rogue pulled the bowstring back and focused his aim on the man unaffected by either illusion. He carefully put them in the arrow’s path and waited for a tattered flag to stop blowing before launching it. Slim took an arrow to the head and didn’t let out even a scream before falling face first into the ground before the fire. Burly and Curly tried to start running, but they tripped over top of one another. So far, it didn’t seem like they had the sense to call for help. There was no stirring that he could hear coming from within the cave.

Drawing and knocking another arrow, he’d set his sights on one of the men on the ground. He’d leave the other for Benjiro to take care of.

I didn’t flinch at the sound of the arrow whooshed past me but I looked away as it impaled the slender bandit through the head; killing him instantly. I’d harmed plenty of people in the service of my village but this felt different. Now that I was out in the world on my own I was overwhelmed by the number of choices I was constantly being bombarded with. I didn’t feel like I knew enough about each individual bandit to say for sure that he deserved death. Despite my moral dilemma I knew what Hotaru wanted me to do and I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t want to disappoint him. [break][break]

I dropped down from the branches and in a sudden burst of speed I would appear just past the curly haired bandit. Blood dripped off the kunai in my hand as the man clutched his throat. The beating of my heart wasn’t enough to drown out the gurgling sound as the bandit fell to his knees. [break][break]

I looked up at Hotaru as he put the third bandit out of his misery. I reminded myself how poorly the bandits had been treating the innocent townsfolk. We were probably doing the right thing, right?

[attr="class","tearText13"]Hotaru released a second arrow that struck Burley’s leg, the man let out a cry and scrambled through the dirt. The rogue from Konohagakure broke from the trees himself, stopping in front of the man and quickly gripping his hand against his mouth. He dragged him across the ground and into the bushes. The man tried to scream through his hand, and Hotaru released at the end of his breath and hammered his fist into his ribs to leave him gasping to catch his breath.

In the moment’s pause, Hotaru made a duo of hand seals. Slim began to stand with the arrow still in his head. Afterwards, Hotaru grasped Burly’s mouth again and continued dragging him away from the cave.

"Move your’s away, please,” Hotaru called to Benjiro.

The animated corpse began running into the forest in the opposite direction. After it got out of Hotaru’s site it fell into dense bushes out of the line of sight of the cave entrance.

He lifted his hand again from the mouth of the one he captured alive. "How many of you are there?”

"Fuck you!”

Hotaru twisted the arrow in his leg and the man cried in pain, though Hotaru quickly raised his hand again to muffle his volume.

"Twenty, twenty! Now, let me go!”

The shinobi shook his head and buried a senbon into his brainstem, ending his life near instantly. Afterwards, Hotaru formed more seals to place himself under disguise. He emerged from the trees looking like the burly man whose life he had just ended.

I watched Hotaru grab the bandit that he'd shot in the leg and drag him off into the woods terrified and screaming. The look on his face was not the one I had been accustomed to and a morbid curiosity drew me a step closer and then another. I both wanted to know and didn’t want to know what he would do with his prisoner. I held my breath at the edge of the treeline as everything went momentarily quiet but nearly jumped out of my skin at the sound of footsteps running behind me. The kunai left my hand before I even had time to process that it was the slim bandit back from the dead. I’d seen a chicken run about without a head but I knew this man couldn’t still be alive after my kunai nearly decapitated the poor soul. He lay down in the bushes leaving me alone by the entrance with the other corpse feeling thoroughly unsettled.
[break][break]
Hotaru said something about disposing of the body but I pushed through the bushes to see the bandit being interrogated. He gave up some information before Hotaru finished him off. Twenty men inside. That was a lot for me. Not in the sense that we couldn’t handle killing them but… I’d been trying really hard to turn over a new leaf.
[break][break]
Hotaru looked at me expectantly and I wandered back towards the entrance and dragged my bandit by the foot, leaving a trail of crimson to soak into the grass. I closed his eyes and left him in the bushes. "Are we sure all this is necessary?”

Hotaru’s gray eyes locked with Benjiro’s when he questioned the violence.

"If we allow them their lives, they’ll move on to harassing another community, causing poverty and misfortune to spread,” He said. "I don’t put them down out of hatred or for sport. I’m trying to prevent others from taking the same path, or becoming orphans that end up shinobi. Like with wolves, culling them reduces the competition for resources among them and helps to reduce their threat.”

It probably looked a bit silly, given the form that Hotaru currently wore. He was tanned with a stubbly face and a mop of curly matted hair and a hooked nose. His arms were stock and his belly was plump, with legs that looked a bit too small for his figure.

"Trust me, I understand where you are right now. It is what I thought was best when I escaped,” he said. "I got tired of watching the good people of the world dying when I had the power to stop it. Village life doesn’t prepare you for facing how ugly the world is for the common man. They can’t afford shinobi, and they often become bandits or die by the hands of bandits.”

He eyed the mouth of the cave. He was ready to move inside under this new guise so that they could take them out swiftly, but he wanted to make sure there was an understanding first.

"I think I get it.” I responded after hearing Hotaru out. It wasn’t like I hadn’t done this sort of thing before but things tended to get a little muddled in my brain now that I had to take responsibility for my own actions. It was actually kind of a relief to have found a leader to follow and, despite being manipulated in the past, I felt that this man’s intentions were pure. "I know you’re not a cruel person, Hotaru. You wouldn’t be suggesting this if it wasn’t absolutely necessary. I’m not sure I trust myself to make a decision like this after everything I’ve done but I’m choosing to trust you and your vision.” [break][break]

I took a deep breath and glanced towards the entrance before looking back at Hotaru in his current disguise. "How are we going to go about this? I mean obviously we’re infiltrating their hideout but well… I have a genjutsu technique that can cause a large number of people to simply fall asleep. That would be the most humane approach but it takes a lot of chakra to cover a large area like this will probably be. I would be a liability if things were to go south afterwards unless I hitch a ride with you.”
