Akazaya was rather cold this time of year. Though there was no snow on the ground quite yet, the temperature was a generous forty, and the sun was blocked out with gray clouds as far as the eye could see.

The brisk air chilled his lungs, bringing a small grin to his face before he exhaled, breathing out a cloud of condensation soon lost to the breeze. Daisuke rather liked the cold, being completely honest. Places like Hi no Kuni, or Nohara no Kuni had always felt a bit much to him. Warmer for most of the year, hardly more than a month between the seasons, with summer and spring taking up most of the year. And Wind country? Never.

The Chunin waited patiently beside his wolf companion, Kota, for the arrival of their teammate. He was clad in a warmer set of shinobi attire, though it still kept to his usual fashion, grayscale, with his red scarf, black boots, and his village headband wrapped between the shoulder and bicep of his right arm. Daisuke would pull a small bottle from his pack, drinking its contents before he turned his attention to Kota.

"She should be here any minute.”

The wolf brought a small smirk to his face. "Always judging before you meet.”

"What?” Daisuke raised a brow as he met Kota’s gaze.

"You’re early to everything. We were here an hour before we were asked to be, and you’re judging your fellow shinobi for not being as punctual as you. Even now, it’s nearly fifteen minutes before the requested rendezvous time.”

Daisuke scoffed, turning his head to the side. "You’re starting to sound like your dad.”

"Rude...”

MY WAY

Despite the cold air and chilliness of their location, there would be a stubborn redhead who wore little more than cropped shorts and a measly tanktop… It was never the most appropriate attire in Kaminari but it was something she hadn’t often given up. Other attire was annoying and difficult she said! While in reality she was simply stubborn.

And… bad with direction. Isamu had been bad with directions in Kumogakure since she got there and still hadn’t figured the village out. Time and time again she got lost in the streets until she stumbled upon one she knew, making her notoriously late for meetups and appointments. To Daisuke’s misfortune, this would be no exception. Fifteen minutes would come and go, their appointed meeting time coming up with hopefulness and ticking on without a specific redhead showing up.

Late. And lost. Trudging to get there regardless, her lungs stinging from her rushing about trying to find her way. Curses ran through her head and slipped from her lips time and again as she moved… This was stupid. How could everything be so fucking hard to find?

She’d get there though. Pissed off and… wondering if she even had the right person. Did someone say that her partner would have a dog with him…? Solid yet slower steps approaching the lad with breaths of air barely visible from her breathing.

"Kojima Daisuke…? We should get going.” No apology there and no look of remorse, just questionable looks to the animal with him if he did confirm who he actually was…

SPOILER: Click to show

A group of bandits have been raiding travelling caravans on their way north through the valley pass to Sancho. They are growing confident and ambitious. Their forces are unknown but made up of wandering thieves and criminals. The chief of the nearest village, Akazaya, has placed a bounty on the group leader’s head and would bring in a nice bonus if he is brought in alive and made stand trial for his crimes..

Daisuke raised his brow when he finally noticed who he’d assume was his partner approaching the two of them. She’d panted as she made her way closer, questioning with his name before suggesting they should get going.

"You must be Isamu, then.” He said simply, his brow still raised as he looked her over. "’Bout damn time.” He mumbled.

With his eyes trailing over the woman, Daisuke had to admit he hadn’t expected to find her so attractive. She had a cuter face, despite her stern expression, with a taller curvy figure, with ample features. He could feel the wolf in his chest begin to stir, hungry for the carnal desires that began to rise in the back of his mind. But, as much as he may have wanted to act on those feral instincts, the young apprentice seemed to know better than to start things off in such a way given their current situation. Perhaps if they’d met under different circumstances rather than the beginning of a mission he would have tried to make a move.

Daisuke took in a deep breath, turning his attention to the side as his face turned to something of a frown.

"It’s a pleasure, Miss Isamu. My name is Kota. Daisuke and I both are looking forward to working with you. We hope for great success with what’s to come.”

Kota clearly seemed to have much better manors than Daisuke himself. The wolf his gaze to Daisuke, and seemed to know instinctively the thoughts that were going through the apprentice’s mind. Daisuke turned to his companion, the two of them seeming to exchange dialogue between one another without words before the chunin rolled his eyes and turned down the road.

"Come on, then. Kota’s already got a scent.” Daisuke waved his hand for Isamu to follow, before he and Kota both took off to the Northwest, off the trail, and into the woods.

"Yeah.”

Hearing her name made her hesitate, a pause in her step and glance towards him. Why it sounded so weird for someone else to say it she wasn’t sure… but in the end that was how it was. A nod and confirmation before they should definitely continue on. She was late and this was stupid… Irritated at herself more than anything, but no less that tension remained tight and wound.

The wolf talking suddenly threw her off even more. A sudden tightness in the girl, barely keeping herself from jumping, with bright eyes turned towards the animal in a much more wary way than she had the boy. She knew that there were summons and trained animals that both were supposedly capable of talking… Isamu wasn’t entirely familiar with them though. No summons of her own and certainly no familiars left her with the natural assumption that animals were just… animals.

"Y-yeah… Me too.”

What did she say? Did she bow to a wolf? Was that stupid? Her head hurt… Fuck… A hand raised to her forehead and rubbing more aggressively than was probably needed, she could feel that frustration building back up. Who the fuck brought a talking wolf… dog… thing?

Daisuke telling her to follow, the dog showing useful. It got a scent? Awesome. A grin to the girl’s lips and a confirmation of "Hai.” as she chased after the other two. A boy and his dog followed by a brash redhead… Not that she’d let them go too far or too long before impatient pestering would have been hushed and shot forward. "How far?”

The trio of wolf, sage, and kunoichi would soon take off, darting in the direction that Kota had led them, following the trail. Their path would lead them winding through the mountain pass, ducking past trees and rocks, but hardly ten minutes would pass before Isamu would pipe up and ask how much further.

Daisuke turned back to her, brow raised, but before he had a chance for a snarky response, Kota would answer for him.

"It’s hard to tell,” the wolf started. "The scent is growing stronger, but it seems to be spreading as well. Their hunting grounds are close. I can only assume that they wouldn’t stray too far from that, however.”

Every now and then Daisuke would turn his head to be sure that Isamu wouldn’t be lost behind the two, Kota and the sage both quite literally used to running with wolves as a form of practice and training. At least once his eyes would linger for but a moment, prying his gaze away from her figure before he’d been caught staring at her more ample features. In nearly any other scenario, the Chunin might have actually tried to make a move of sorts, forcing a chuckle at the thought. But, now was not the time for things like that.

Kota soon slowed, his nose trailed into the air as he sniffed, his ears shifting at each surrounding sound. Daisuke stopped at the sight, allowing his wolfen companion to get a better idea of where they would be heading next based on whatever he could sense.

"They are near…” Kota was quiet, the fur on the back of his neck rustling as his attention shifted, a shadow moving in the distance just in time for the wolf and Daisuke to spot them. "Daisuke!”

The wolf barked, but the sage apprentice had already sensed that something was off. His attention darted, his eyes catching the movements of something a few dozen meters away, his body reacting just fast enough to avoid the arrow that sought to pierce through him. Daisuke spun, the arrow missing him by but a hair, cutting into the fabric on the left arm of his shirt.

"Finally.” Daisuke said devilishly, a smirk crossing his face as his hands flashed, summoning eight condensed orbs of water that began to spiral around him.

CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Suiton
DESCRIPTION:
The user forms several tiny condensed balls of tiny, yet powerful, suiton spheres around them. They will float around the user until the shinobi decides to active them, leaving them as a passive technique until they are called upon. These little balls can be used for several things, and either activated one at a time or all at the same time. Ultimately, they serve as a second defense for the shinobi as they are prepared to be used any moment and already created so that there is no further preparation needed. These spheres can be used to deflect incoming attacks, used as a water source for the shinobi later on, or be charged toward an opponent as a high-speed ball.

The boy almost looked like he wanted a crack in the head. Isamu might not have been the most observant girl in the world, but the way the guy looked at her had her muscles tensing and ready to throw a rock at his skull. No need though, for the dog wolf chimed in with some answers. Answers that were… rather long. Probably informative, but to some extent Isamu could only wrap her mind around bits.

Close was the answer though… right? A bit of a sigh given off by the redhead and then a nod. Whatever… they’d be fine, she just wanted to know about how far or long. It wasn’t like she was some mind reader or something, especially not with dogs.

The boy kept looking back. Was he irritated? Or just nosey? The redhead not quite bright enough to realize the full intentions of what he might be doing, but all the same she carried forward. Thankfully, she didn’t have much trouble… Tripping while trying to keep up wasn’t beyond her but at the very least she didn’t totally wipe out everywhere, she’d have been pissed.

No one could have called her the most subtle of things though. The travel they had undergone and even slowing down wouldn’t have brought her with the quietest of steps. The dog with them was talking again, Isamu looking at it oddly and still trying to figure out just how that worked… but a little bit of attention brought to movement beyond. A glance that way, though nothing clearly seen.

It wasn’t until the dog yelled that Isamu would be on full alert. Something caught her eye, her even taking a sudden small jump away from the area, and finding an arrow having shot through the air. The Daisuke guy had avoided, but where was the archer? Looking that way and then soon heading that way, heavy footsteps and javelin pulled form its place and spun about, flourished to bring back to both hands ahead of her.

"Do we know how many?” A question called for that guy… or the wolf… whoever would answer, as she’d charge in… Unless one planned on stopping her.

Immediately Daisuke’s brow furrowed, sending one of the eight orbs floating around him off in the same direction like a cannonball. The wolfish grin on his face only grew further as he felt adrenaline rushing through his blood, the thrill of battle near instantaneously sinking in.

"Doesn’t matter. We just gotta find out who and where their leader is, and get everyone else out of the way. Try not to kill ‘em if you can help it. They want the boss to stand trial.”

Without hesitation, Daisuke would dart forward, kicking off the ground with incredible speed headed further into the woods. Kota, however, would seem to take a more thoughtful approach, standing his ground next to Isamu to better answer her question.

"So far it’s hard to tell. The scents are blurred, all similar, but I would guess three from the subtle differences. No doubt more would be on the way if we don’t hurry and dispatch the ones here now.”

Before too long, the wolf would follow suit with the young sage, eventually catching up to the man in his chase. It seemed Daisuke had found two, both of whom he’d been fending off. Both bandits had been using swords against the chunin, but it was unclear whether either of them were the archer or not. The seven remaining orbs of water spiraled around Daisuke creating an extra layer of defense as he fought the two with his bo-staff. As Kota arrived, the wolf would leap from the ground, lunge towards an arm carrying the blade of one of the swordsman, pulling his attention away from Daisuke.

"Shit…” Daisuke scoffed under his breath, seeing three more bandits beginning to make their way out of the woodworks. "Isamu!” Daisuke called, "More to the east!”

The other guy was pretty skilled in his own way. He didn’t look weak, but he called out some water things to float around him rather than use his fists. Worked either way, he was weird, and even brought this dog…

"Pretty sure they said just not to kill the boss!” Calling back, aggravated with how her question was shrugged off so easily. The fuck it mattered! She wanted to know if she was running into a group of twelve or one! But fine. Javelin still in hand, thrusting herself into things, it wasn’t like she hadn’t used this tactic endless times and still came out alive…

A flicker of movement catching her eye and a sudden jolt of her arm to follow through in on swift and fluid motion. A Flying Javelin through the air that would have been quite the challenge to see and dodge… A scream barely breaking through before being silenced by a loud thud against a tree, the redhead rushing over and shoving her foot down into the carcass of one of their offenders, javelin ripped out and bloodied.

That’s when the weird guy called her name. More to the East? It was at least a help that she had a basic sense of direction as far as cardinal ones went.. Otherwise she might have directly run the wrong way. But off to help him, carrying herself through the area and hopping over obstacles, the boy was glimpsed towards, the wolf looked for, and somewhere ahead of her were other enemies, right?

No better way to get a good view than to clear the path… Shoving her feet into the ground, stopping suddenly, and javelin thrust spear down into the dirt. A heavy step taken forward, arms wide, and then hands thrust together with hard and strong meeting of her palms. A Burst of Wind and energy rushing forward past her, sending brush, branch, and small obstacles flying, enough to knock someone from their feet if close enough, but at the very least some visibility to come from it! And javelin instantly grabbed, brought up, and aimed for a target. Once again to let it fly onwards and pierce through a man’s chest if he couldn’t get himself out of the way.

NAME: Hisan Yari [Flying Javelin]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu
ELEMENT: None
DESCRIPTION:
The user grips their javelin firmly before launching it towards the opponent with incredible strength and speed, enough to pierce straight through an entire boulder. The strength of the attack allows the javelin to match up to low tier ninjutsu such as fire balls, waves of water or large boulders and even electrical or wind based attacks, and using its piercing power allow it to strike right through such techniques and into the opponent. Needless to say this tech can allow a javelin user to pierce right through an opponent or even a group of them, and the speed allows it to fly as if one threw a kunai.


NAME: Kaze no bāsuto [Burst of Wind]
RANK: B
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu
ELEMENT: None
DESCRIPTION:
The user claps it's hands together with such force, that a great shock wave appears, breaking up till C-rank elemental jutsu [B-rank not included] but also can blow someone in mid-air away. When this move is used on someone's head, the opponent's brain will have such a shock that it gives not only a heavy concussion, but it can also render him deaf if the blow is applied on the ears, breaking the the malleus (or hammer), incus (or anvil), and stapes (or stirrup). If used with higher levels of strength, it can crush the opponent's head. If the Wind Blow is used on another part of the body, the opponent will find itself with damaged muscles and/or organs, depending on where the blow was landed.

The threat of more bandits coming from the east did feel pressing, but he was thankful to see that Isamu seemed prepared for it. Eager, perhaps, as she seemed just as willing to rush into battle as Daisuke himself. And she wasn't too shabby with that Javalin, either, as she'd already dispatched two on her side. A smirk came across the young sage's face, however, rather liking the display, but now in his mind it all became a competition.

With Kota now arriving at his side, Daisuke would be sure to make quick work on his side of things. "Man, would the amphibian technique be useful at a time like this.” Daisuke thought to himself, imagining for a split second how beneficial the utilization of sennin modo would be in the future. But, this was no time to day dream, for now, he needed to simply work with what he had. His attention was brought back to the time at hand, with Kota already moving in to aid Daisuke. The wolf tackled one of the bandits, pouncing up to bring him down to the ground without a second thought to take them out as quickly as possible.

Kota's teeth soon found the throat of the bandit, a gurgled scream all that could escape them before the final breath was drawn. In the meantime, Daisuke himself would rely on the orbs still floating about his person. In tandem, the orbs would spiral around his body, and like a chain of wrecking balls collide into the bandit that he found himself in close quarters with. Each one bludgeoned his adversary with incredible strength, and whether dead or merely unconcious from the onslaught Daisuke would not care. A low hum would fall from his lips as the wolf and sage both darted off to the east to regroup with their ally.

With their speed, it wouldn't take more than a few seconds to catch back up with Isamu, and once at her side, Daisuke would offer a cocky grin to the kunoichi. "Miss me, babe?” He said with a small chuckle, smirk still present across his face. "Hope you saved some fun for us. Think we should capture one and see if we can find out where their hideout's at?”

MY WAY

There really was only one way to approach anything. Forcing one’s way through. Pushing and persistence got results and that’s simply how Isamu lived. She took care of the enemies she saw elsewhere and when Daisuke called her she’d respond by throwing herself into that situation as well. Weapon, body, whatever the case, her effort and strength were how she faced things.

And generally it worked pretty well… The first wave she took on was done with and the second approached. She wasn’t aware enough to pay total attention to what was happening with Daisuke and the wolf and somewhere in her mind probably assumed he’d call if he needed help. Or maybe he wouldn’t. Who knew. Oh well.

A clap of her hands and debris and foliage flying out of the way, targets became more clear. Javelin was thrown and within a moment piercing through the chest of a male that had the misfortune of getting within her line of sight… A man not alone, for at least two others had accompanied as backup, but as she drew her axes and meant to trudge forward, the sound of steps behind her closing in would have drawn her attention. Lurching around and… the guy….

Miss him? "Uh… sure.” What the fuck was he on about…? But whatever, he asked about capturing someone and seeing as there were a few still there, deciding to engage or even some rushing forward, at least three to be taken care of despite the one she had taken down.

"I’ll get the one on the right. You two pick someone to capture.” A huff and then off. One axe settled back into place as the female rushed in towards the one she said was her target. Axe held, but javelin jerked from the carcass as she ran past to have all her belongings back in check before she lopped off this next head.

As much as he might have wanted to bark his own orders, they admittedly wouldn’t have been too much different that Isamu’s own request. So, Daisuke would take it as just that, a request, and give her a slight nod in acknowledgement of the plan.

It wouldn’t have taken him long to find a target, and with a flurry of hand seals, the chunin would make use of his newest technique to bee line his way to his next opponent. Lightning began to crackle around his body, and like a bolt of lightning embodied, Diasuke jolted off with blinding speeds. He was still new to the technique itself, so unfortunately the chunin could not alter his trajectory once he activated the jutsu, but thankfully it didn’t seem he needed to.

His movement sounded like a clap of thunder, and he was on the bandit within the blink of an eye, only to nearly knock the man’s head clean from his shoulders with a powerful strike with his elbow.

"Shit…” Daisuke cursed, hoping he hadn’t accidently killed the man with such an impact. The strength of the Lightning Release Armor was still new to him, and he couldn’t quite calculate what an impact with such strength and speed would do to an unsuspecting opponent. Thankfully, though, a pitiful moan escaped the fellow, now full on collapsed and unconscious against the ground.

"Kota, watch him, make sure he doesn’t get up. Let’s clean up the rest, huh?”

Daisuke rolled his neck, a few audible pops coming from his joints as lightning once more began to crackle over his body and he jolted off again, this time making his way to one of the two bandits that Isamu was now fighting. The chunin barreled into his next target, sending the bandit launching through the air as he shoulder charged him, stopping only a few feet away from is ally.

"Let’s make it quick, huh?” Daisuke spoke to her before he felt a jolt beginning to crawl up his legs. A small hum fell from his lips as the tingling soon subsided, but it seemed overuse might not be such a good idea. Perhaps that was all the showing off he needed to do for now.

NAME: Raiton Chakura Mōdo: Sutēji Ichi [Lightning Release Chakra Mode: Stage One]
RANK: B
CHAKRA USAGE: High
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Raiton
DESCRIPTION:
The user wraps their body in a cloak of Raiton though not used offensively, the cloak is used to stimulate the users nervous system. Speeding up neural synapses to react faster, as well as pushing the users body to its absolute limit, allowing for tremendous raw speed, a speed which makes even a one tomoe Sharingan user confused as to the user's whereabouts. The increase in speed comes with a great level of fatigue attached with it making this a jutsu best suited to be used when needed and not spammed throughout the entirety of a fight (though it can be used that way its highly dangerous). It is effectively an armor that surrounds the user allowing them to brush off and B-rank and below Raiton techniques and also C-rank and lower Physical attacks.

This jutsu improves on the basis of the Lighting Release Body Flicker and makes it a more longer lasting affect (2 rounds) with more more refined increases. But also much more costly price as over use in one fight could overexert the user causing the body to shut down in due to crippling pain.

Acts as an elongated Shunshin technique. The user can move at shunshin speeds with the above benefits for 2 rounds with one High usage of Chakra. This can be used four times total during a thread, each time tiring out the body of the user. After the fourth time, their muscles are completely deteriorated.

Isamu really wasn’t one that was the best at giving plans… but there was a very specific reason that she said what she did.

She wasn’t really sure she could capture one of them alive.

But between the cock guy and his dog though? They should be fine. He seemed like he had those sorts of weird and sneaky tricks up his sleeves. So she told him what she’d be doing, shrugging him off, and ran forward to take care of her half.

Or she would have, if the sound of thunder hadn’t near deafened everyone in the area. Near impossible not to look that way in anger, no doubt it was from that prick. Yet he wasn’t there, confusion on her features and even pausing a moment when she should have been charging and taking out her bandit…

It wasn’t until she looked back towards those very men that she noticed Daisuke. He… was as subtle as her… "Are you fucking serious…” The pauses in her own movements not enough to keep her away from the other bandits though. All seemed to recover relatively quickly and where on top of one another without much further pause. Strikes delivered and Isamu no doubt attempting to separate one man’s head from his shoulders. A clear miss… and irritation from the girl further growing. If that boy hadn’t done that dumb thunder thing…

Which happened agian. Crackling through the air and Isamu trying very very hard to ignore it. Another swing of her axe that would have caught the man’s shoulder, sending him reeling back and the second one headed for her swinging his own weapon. That man intercepted by her electric ‘friend.’ A shoulder sending him flying as well, the two bandits needing to regroup to actually get to them. And Isamu already yelling out to her comrade before rushing forward and taking a decisive swing towards her enemy. "Woulda been quicker if you hadn’t done that loud thing!” Ah, she had a way with words.

With a bit of a laugh, Daisuke turned his attention toward Isamu.

"Right, because you’re so subtle.”

It didn’t take long for the two of them to dispatch the remainder of the bandits who had been present. Between Isamu’s spear and axes, and Daisuke’s ninjutsu, they would easily make short work of those last who remained, leaving but one bandit left who Kota had been guarding over after Daisuke knocked the man unconscious.

He’d take in a deeper breath, the lightning from his previous technique fizzling out as the last few sparks jumped over his body. "Kota’s got the one we captured. Hope he knows something.”

As they approached, it seemed the bandit had come to in the meantime. Kota was more than enough to keep the man in position without any restraints, a bite mark already present over the man’s ankle. He was bleeding from the head as well, Daisuke noted as he squatted down, hands on his knees, eye to eye with the bandit.

He let out a small hum as he looked the man over, Kota growling slightly in the background. The young sage smirked, sticking his finger into the open wound on his ankle forcing a screech of pain to escape the bandit.

"Oh, that must hurt.” He mocked. "It’d be a shame if you weren’t able to get that taken care of. Something like that looks like you could have some serious damage. Might need a cane to walk if you don’t get that healed soon.” He pulled his finger from the wound, the bandit wincing and flinching from the small act of torture before his eyes fell to meet Daisuke’s.

"The fuck do you want? Money?” Sweat beaded on the man’s brow as he tried to act tough through the little interrogation.

"Just tell us where we can find your boss and you’re free to go.” The sage said, still grinning.

The man laughed before wincing from the pain in his heel. "My boss? You fuckin’ killed him!” The bandit yelled, nodding his head over to the man who Daisuke had previously shoulder charged and sent flying.

"Well shit… Ain’t that a bitch.” Daisuke said with a sigh.

She did her best not to roll her eyes at him. Of course she wasn’t subtle! But whatever. She had her own things to deal with. The bandits they were taking out were dealt with, man after man slaughtered until none were left before them. Isamu honestly thought none were left, which honestly didn’t really bother her. It was when Daisuke said something about one being alive that she would look that way towards the dog wolf thing.

Towards the last bandit they’d go. Injured but alive, Isamu couldn’t say she really felt bad for him at all. Daisuke could do the talking. She didn’t much care about that. Axes were jerked to the side to rid the blades of blood, then settled back into place. Javelin to have the end wiped against the grass before settling it in her hands comfortably again. She was half listening, sort of.

The scream had gotten her attention briefly, the guy with her apparently shoving his finger in a wound. A brief grimace had, but leaving that be. She dealt with her own things and he could deal with his. Though it all became a little more disappointing when the bandit mentioned the leader being dead. It had the redhead looking up, watching the guy vaguely nodding that other way and Daisuke speaking what she was thinking.

She got over it fine though. A shrug of her shoulders and spinning that javelin once in her hands. "Guess we just finish the job then.” Simple and uncaring, unless stopped she’d make sure he drew his last breath to by shoving that polearm straight into his chest.

"Now hang on just a second,” Daisuke said, a sly smirk on his face as his fingertips nudged Isamu's polearm out of the way. Daisuke's eyes never left the bandit though, as a new idea came to mind.

"Tell me, friend, how much do you want to live?”

The bandit seemed quite perplexed by Daisuke's question, letting out a small groan, mixed between residual pain and new confusion. "Uhh, I don't want to die if that's what you're asking.” The bandit said gruffly.

"Great.” Daisuke stood up, walking over to the corpse of the bandit leader as he began to explain the turnings in his mind. "Does your boss have any sort of indication or marker that he wears? I don't think anyone knows what he looked like, at least not from what I was given, so we're just gonna say you're him. We'll bring you back to the Daimyo, you stand trial, we get our rewards.” Daisuke said with a grin. "Or we can just kill you here and now.”

The wolf beside the bandit would let out a satisfactory growl, his attention turning to Daisuke. "Quick thinking. You really are learning.”

Daisuke scoffed at his wolfen companions mocking, but the bandit would soon agree to the terms with a nod of his head. "He's got an armband. Keeps a book on 'im too. Probably stuff in there I should have. I don't give a fuck if you bring me in, beats dyin' anyday.”
