Risi is quick to assist Yamatsu with the bear, and is quite surprised to see the other boy is also capable of summoning creatures, something Risi himself didn't think was all that common among Genin. He considers summoning his own crow, as the Yatagarasu might be somewhat helpful in harrying the bear, but he decides against it, especially as it seems Yamatsu and his wolf summons mostly have it covered. The fighting stance that the other Genin took was certainly very odd, too, almost making him look like a wolf himself, and the biggest difference was that Yamatsu didn't have a tail like the two summoned wolves did. Risi needs to close distance with the bear as well, though, because partially blinding it with the sun's rays and placing a simple Genjutsu on it had only been in order to test that it was susceptible to Genjutsu. Now he approaches the black bear rapidly, cradling the scythe in the crook of his elbow as he formed a single handseal, and chakra flooded through his body as he performs a technique close to the same time that it tried a swipe at Yamatsu, using the same technique that the other Genin had used to get away.

Shunshin no Jutsu!

Risi actually closes distance with the bear rapidly, only pulling his hands out of the handseal in order to send a slash of his scythe into the black bear's side and using the pointed tip to pierce that heavy flesh. Right away, he backs off again, since the bear is now focused on the new threat of the Kyuumu ninja temporarily. Risi gives Yamatsu a wink as he gets out of the way of the multitude of fireballs sent towards the bear. With the great beast now burning and its back legs restrained by the wolf summons, Risi himself moves back in for the kill, and when the bear tries to turn its head to try and focus on the wolf biting at its rear right leg, the Genin raises the scythe and sends a slash just behind the bear's jaw. The slash creates a deep gash as the tip pierces the skin once more and digs deep into the arteries and its neck, and with a wrenching two-handed tug, Risi permanently silences the bear in the middle of its roar of pain. He still backs away one more time, not wanting to get caught in the bear's death throes, and he instead starts work on cleaning the blade of his scythe.

"Nothing to it!~ I didn't know you could summon, too, Yamatsu..."

The Young Pup

Everything was going according to plan, Risi had distracted the bear long enough and well enough with that blade of his it made Yamatsu wonder. The smell of burned flesh and singed fur filled the air as Oki and Ino tried to pull the beast off its hind legs. It almost did not matter as Risi ended its life at the edge of her scythe. He stood there a little perplexed his hands mid jutsu. Risi had told him that their skill with bukijutsu was nothing to be amazed at. Yet he had ended it with such percision that it brought aw to Yamatsu. He thought for a moment as the bear's muscles twitched. Oki and Ino playfully nipped at its dead body proud of the work they had done. He had kept a secret like them away from Risi when it could have been helpful to any plans. He did not feel any anger or resentment if Risi had done the same. It was a lesson to be learned for sure, from now on he wanted to be completely transparent with his teammates. A smile crossed his face as he walked up to the wolves. "Oki, Ino, Brother, Sister I apologize for the suddenness of my call." He knelt down looking to Risi. "And i apologize to you as well, i should have been more forthcoming." He opened his arms as Oki and Ino trotted to him, nuzzling their faces into his chest. The low playful whimpers and growls from the two as he jostled between petting them both. "Brother, Sister id like you to meet my teammate Kyuumu Risi." The two wolves looked over to Risi lowering their heads. "Hello friend to little brother Yamatsu." Oki the larger of the two bowed his lead lower to even with Ino. "Greetings new friend." Ino's voice was somehow melodic through her natural growl. "Risi I uh, would like to invite you over to dinner. As a uh job well done kind of thing you know?" His voice cracked with nervousness as he rubbed the back of his neck. Oki and Ino seemed to laugh tho it sounded like muffled growls and snarls. They loved to tease him for being human.

Risi is a bit surprised that Yamatsu seems both happy and a bit of ruefulness, it seems, at having not said anything about his ability to summon, but the Genin hadn't meant anything by it, really. He finishes cleaning off the scythe and then gets to work with a kunai at cutting off a piece of its thick hide, just a small part of it, but large enough that it could serve as proof that they'd hunted down the giant beast that had managed to terrorize the village. He felt it best to bring back proof of the mission's success, while the two wolves have a congratulatory huddle with Yamatsu himself.

With his grisly work done, he responds to the apology in a light-hearted manner, cleaning the blood off his hands with dirt and then a bit of water to wash away the dirt, leaving them clean. He also responds to the introductions in the same way, giving each of them a hello in response.

"Oh! There's no need to apologize. I was just surprised, that's all! Hello there Oki. And hello Ino. It's a pleasure to meet you both."

It was somewhat similar to how the Kyuumu clan instructed most of its clan members to introduce themselves to the crows and ravens that made up their companions and, in some cases, their summons as well. Granted, Risi didn't involve any cawing and chirping noises as he might have done for any birds he would have been meeting. The invitation to dinner is slightly more startling to Risi, but thanks to his careful training under the Inshi family, his face remained free of any of the stress he might be feeling internally. A lengthy time spent with someone else might expose his actual thoughts or feelings, and it was usually dangerous to do so. Despite this knowledge, he can't say no for multiple reasons: for one, it was fairly customary to celebrate after a successful mission, and for another, he really did actually want to have a dinner with Yamatsu. The sound of his voice going high pitched with the stress of asking him out to dinner practically sealed the deal, despite his misgivings.

"Okay, dinner it is.~ It'll be fun to meet your parents."

It seems at least three members of their little group has fun teasing Yamatsu, as Risi giggles before heading back towards Kumogakure with his new friend.
