Another splash of water overtook the boat as Kai stood quietly on its stern. The weather was choppy at best, but that made it a better target for pirates, in many cases. Easier to claim people went missing when you could just toss them over into the water.

Kai was dressed rather heavily today. The usual armored gig, which protected mostly his chest and back, as well as his combat pants, boots, and a tactical turtleneck. Very tactical. Regardless, over all of that was something far more important- A massive brown linen cloak that covered his form, and a straw hat over his head. All together, these two items provided the idea that he was a fisherman- A great disguise, only added on by the cigarette burning in his mouth as they 'sailed' out to sea.

He was with another person, of course. A woman- Or more specifically, one of his many cousins. He had gotten complaints recently that he didn't spend enough time with them, and truth be told.... They were kind of right. In his honest defense though, most of his cousins were a total pain in the sasquatch to deal with. It came with the territory. Being a moody Uchiha was part of what made them who they were.

Still, it didn't make it any easier to go on missions with them, especially when said missions involved sitting out at sea for hours on end waiting to be attacked. Gently, he tapped the bottom of the boat with his boot and made a sound though.

"Is the fishing line still holding? This really has to look convincing..." He muttered, as he looked out over the sea. Hardly the most glorious of jobs, and not particularly his strong suit, water and all, but he'd make it work.

Sitting still wasn't one of Setsuko's strong points and this mission required them to play the part of unsuspecting fishermen to lure out some bandits. Great just great. Why did she have to undertake such a mission? Not that her normal job was any better. Being a gate guard was the same sort of thing just with a bit more patrolling at times so it wasn't like she was used to standing or in this case sitting and waiting, but she didn't like it. One could say there was the added benefit she wasn't doing this alone as she was joined by one of her cousins for the mission, but frankly, Setsuko never felt she got along with any of her cousins that often not that she talked to them either. To her, most of them were just stepping stones for her growth so why bother forming any emotional bond with them right?

Disguises weren't one of Setsuko's forte's either so her disguise for this mission wasn't the best option. Wearing a sheer fishnet blouse over a black sports bra she complemented it with a pair of denim shorts and long black leggings with x-shaped holes up the legs. Black waterproof boots would finish the outfit along with some black fingerless gloves for her hands. Yet despite this getup, she wasn't fishing like her partner who held a fishing rod. Instead, she did net fishing holding a giant net in hand and looking at the water for a school of fish on the opposite side of their boat. Looking over at her cousin when they asked if the line was holding Setsuko would respond with, "Why ask me I barely know what I'm doing either." Her attitude was even more apparent as she was growing slowly more and more frustrated each time she looked out at the water waiting for some fish to appear.

Kai rolled his eyes and puffed away at his cigarette. Yeah, he should have expected that. She was on the darker side of the family mentally, so it was no surprise to Kai that Setsuko was a little more difficult to work with.

That said, difficult was not impossible, as he slowly peeked his head over the boat into the water.

"Fishing sucks." He knew she'd agree with him on that at least. Boring as hell, and he was a sloth half the time, for goodness sake.

Kai looked up over the Horizon. Nothing yet. Yet.

"We might have more success if you were actually dressed like a fisherman and not..." He glanced back at her, looking the girl once over again to carefully consider his next words.

"Like a Uchiha." Hard to argue with that, she had the look down stat. Bad girl type look. He knew it. Still, Kai threw his line back out over the water, as another splash of sea got all over both of them.

"Ugh." Cigarette was out. He placed it back into his pouch, unwilling to throw it into the ocean, as he grabbed some Binoculars and took a closer look.

"Maybe we could use some Jutsu to make it look like we have a big haul? Like, one of us henges into a barrel of fish?" Object henges were nothing new after all, and it'd fool anyone who didn't have Chakra sight.

"Ain't that the truth," Setsuko would agree with Kai's comment about fishing sucking. She may not be the most friendly of people, but if someone shared similar sentiments as her she wasn't about to blow them off especially if it meant shitting on something she didn't enjoy. However, her momentary moment of approving of her mission partner was soon diminished by his comment about her outfit. "Hey If I'm going to be forced into doing something I don't like I'm going to at least look good while doing it," Setsuko would say brushing her hair from her face, but he did have a bit of a point on her outfit not being the most appropriate for the setting. As a slight compromise, she would grab a hair tie and adjust her hair into a giant messy bun. At least her hair wouldn't be in her face most of the time now which would help her appearance a bit more.

Kai would then suggest they henge into a barrel of fish and honestly it was an easy out for them, but could also have its issues and Setsuko wasn't about to waste chakra on something as stupid as that. "While I could agree to that plan how much you wanna bet we are already being watched if we don't catch a haul normally they probably would never come if we faked it," Setsuko would say seeing a fish make it close to the surface of the water. Chucking her net in a wide area where she saw the fish she would let the net sink into the water and once it hit the bottom she would begin pulling the net back out of the water.

It would take some time, but the net would come out of the water with a decent amount of fish for her net though it wasn't particularly full. "F*** yeah!" Setsuko would say not watching her volume when she exclaimed. "Think they let us sell these fish for even more of a profit?" Setsuko would ask just thinking of the possibility of them getting some money out of this outside of the mission reward money.

Kai contemplated what Setsuko told him. He was glad she agreed wit him on the point of fishing sucking though- He really did think it was a boring errand. On the mention of her outfit, he chuckled at her response and moved a bit forward.

"Well. At least you've got a better sense of fashion then me." He couldn't lie, she looked good- Great, even. Not traditional or cute like Sachi, but... Bad girl kind of look. The kind of girl who got things done her way or the highway.

He imagined she was popular with the men and the ladies, though he wasn't the type to ask. Her counterpoint on his offer did make him nod a few times.

"I could try using my Sharingan- See if I spot anythi-" Suddenly, she seemed to pull something out of the water. He glanced over, before clapping his hands a few times as he chuckled.

"Jeeze, showing me up fishing too? I thought I was the one that was supposed to be promoting soon." He teased her softly. It was odd, he was feeling a lot more open... More kind, with his cousin. He figured he'd feel the same way with Miroru and any of the rest of them, but...

It was just an odd thing to note, one had to suppose.

"I'm sure we could sell them off. Don't expect any great prices though, it's not like we're fishing up gold here." He shrugged, taking a smoke from his cigarette pack as he placed it to his lips again. As he moved his fingers up to light the cigarette though... He saw it, a shape in the distance. He didn't see it before- Hell, neither of them likely did, because all of this choppy seas?

Well. It wasn't until the fire burned over his smoke, but he realized in that moment...

The waves weren't natural, and he saw shapes on the horizon. Without so much as a thought or a prayer, he performed a single seal, one handed, as he jerked a hand out and pressed it against the girls shoulder.

A shock of Chakra would go through her body, and in the next moment, the 'choppy seas'... Would clear out to the realization that they were in fact not deep at sea at all. A genjutsu. Surrounding them were two boats, one on either side by about 100 feet, and atop each one, about 5 men, totalling in ten. Though clearly, one or more of them had Shinobi training, judging from the Genjutsu they'd trapped them in.

"Shit, I should have seen that coming. Get ready, they're sailing closer!" Well, on the bright side, at least the fish Setsuko caught were real!

The buttering up from Kai didn't go unnoticed by Setsuko and while she didn't think he said it like a child trying to get something from a parent she couldn't help but enjoy the compliments. Feeding into her ego she couldn't help but respond with, "Yeah I know I'm badass so be sure to keep up little pup." Not that he was that much shorter than her or younger than her she had to admit. The two were fairly close in age and height so it wasn't like he was diminutive compared to her she just couldn't help but feel the need to tease him in this instance.

His comment about the fish certainly didn't bode the most for her as he had a point they probably wouldn't be worth much, but the idea of getting a nice profit out of them sounded so good. She wouldn't get to think too much on it though when Kai would suddenly pour a bit of chakra into her causing her to notice they were under a genjutsu this whole time. "Well, that explains the fish," Setsuko would say a bit annoyed to know her haul was merely just because the fish were trying to get away from the boats getting closer to them.

"Better late than never I guess," Setsuko would say slightly frustrated herself for not realizing she was under a genjutsu. "Hopefully they will make this easy for us by being good little playthings," Setsuko said with a slight ferocity as her temper began to slowly rage up. Her emotions were her strong point and using her anger to fuel her attacks was one of the ways she fought.

He gazed over at her comment about him being a 'little pup', a sigh releasing from his mouth as he shook his head. He wasn't even going to humor that comment. She'd have to earn that right. Instead, he stretched out as he looked over the boats, watching them close the distance with them.

"Careful. If they know Genjutsu, they are probably shinobi. And considering we're in open water..." He frowned. There were likely to be some watery tricks on the horizon. That said, he gripped her wrist gently and tugged her back.

"Lets play it cool, until they get close. Then spring the trap." He nodded. It was a simple plan, but an easy one. They were, after all, Shinobi, no?

As the boats got closer, they could hear a voice.

"Alright, fisherfolk. You know the deal. Hands in the air like you just don't care... And prepare to be boarded!" A few laughs were had between the older men as they staired over the pair.

Kai kept his hat held down, covering his eyes- Though beneath them, his twin Sharingan had already activated, looking over each of the men very carefully...

This might be a tough fight, 10 on 1, and at least ONE shinobi...

"Man you're no fun," Setsuko would complain about Kai's plan for laying low till they sprang their trap. Why couldn't they just fight them head-on? Certainly, the two of them were strong enough to take however many there were right? Whatever fine she would play along albeit reluctantly so long as she could bash some skulls in afterward she was willing to play a damsel in distress for his little plan whatever it may be. Hopefully whatever that plan he had in store would be something she could get behind because honestly, Setsuko's patience for slow plans was very thin.

Playing along with the bandits that were trying to ambush them she would say in her most distressed-sounding voice, "Please we are barely making it as is! The fish are barely biting and we are having a hard time collecting enough for our family!" Despite her rather stylish appearance she tried looking as pathetic as she could. Her hands were in the air following the bandit's instructions as best as she could to follow along with Kai's plans. Her sharrigan was not activated since it would give off her identity fairly quickly since her hair no longer covered her eyes since she put her hair up in a bun.

"Heh. If you wanted fun, you should have picked Miroru. I'm the boring, slow cousin. They call me a sloth for a reason." He muttered quietly to her as their game began. Obviously, the boats would come up to either side of their vessel, as each group took upon one of the pair.

"Barely making it, dressed like that? Please... You look like you're out for a night on the town, not fishin', dumb girl." The larger of the men spoke out as he glanced down at their 'catches'... Well, it was better than nothing, right?

"Eko, this ain't even enough to feed us, let alone the kids back ho-" Before the youngest could speak, another smacked him upside the head, shutting him up.

"Then we'll just take one of these two hostage. The girl will probably fetch a good ransom." The largest male spoke again. By now however, Setsuko could get a good look at all five on her side...

The largest male, armed with a large axe, was clearly brawns over brain- But he could bench press this entire boat if he had to.

Three of the men were your average goons- Lanky men who looked underfed and desperate, with various spears and sticks. Nothing threatening, but...

The last, the smallest of that group, was a young man who couldn't have been older than 14. But something about him...

Yes, indeed. He was the Shinobi, he had to be. He was far too young to be doing anything else.


=====

Meanwhile, on Kai's side, he was currently being patted down. Not that he could really do much- His five were generally lankier sorts like the goons, but much more on edge, spears pointing right at his face.

"Please... Just leave us be... This isn't worth it..." A leading man glanced up at Kai, raising an eyebrow as he smacked him across the face.

"Shut up. You're going to go back to send a message to the village. Send better fishers, and if they want the girl back, they are going to have to pay a hefty rans-"

Yeah, that was about as much as Kai could take. His hand was at his chest, and he formed four seals- Seals made with one hand, at that- Before he thrust his palm out, electricity wrapping around it. It would shock the lead man, but was unlikely to seriously injure him- Both of Kai's techniques were rather untrained.

"Right, gig's up!" His eyes gave him the advantage he needed. The reaction time to see what was coming his way, and formulate a way to escape the attacks. Duck, dodge, weave- A Kunai would flash out of his waist as it clashed with a long fishing hook- And just like that, Kai was grappled into combat.

That said, these guys weren't the worst fighters... And Setsuko likely had to deal with the stronger of the two groups.

"And here I was told it was because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon," Setsuko would say back to Kai's comment about being called a sloth before adding, "Plus it wasn't like I got to choose my partner for the mission it was assigned." Setsuko would turn away from Kai with her arms crossed and mutter to herself, "It's not like anyone would have agreed if I did ask." before returning her attention to the boats headed their way.

When the man commented on Setsuko's attire she couldn't keep up her innocent fisher guise much as her snarky attitude would come up and say, "And yet you still came for me guess that means you have other reasons to stop a girl like me then?" Her arms lowered back down and crossed across her body. She didn't show signs of attacking just yet as it wasn't time to do that, but she wasn't about to back down from verbally assaulting the men who dared to attack them.

Though with five different men surrounding her of varying sizes did sort of worry her especially when it sounded like they wanted to sell her off. "Come on Kai give the damn signal," Setsuko would mutter to herself as the five men inched closer and closer to her. This would give her a good look at those who surrounded her and the majority of them looked like they would be easy to take care of, but two seemed like they might be a problem. The big guy and the young one. She could probably take care of the big guy so long as she didn't get caught or hit by him as he looked quite strong, but the youngster might be a problem. What this was she wasn't sure as of this moment, but she felt there might be a possibility he could be a sweeper if she didn't take care of him quickly.

It wasn't until she heard Kai's voice saying the jig was up did she jumped into action. Quickly pulling the hair tie from her hair letting it fall back down into its regular style she then weaved the handseals for her first jutsu. Then by whipping her hair around she sent chakra projectiles shooting out of her hair like senbon needles all around her. Hoping to get some nice chip damage against the thugs she then activated her sharrigan to get a good look at what she was dealing with.

Ah, they must have not liked her language, because they were just about ready to clock her in the jaw when she pulled off a technique that definitely got eyebrows raised.

As her hair would come down, the massive male with the axe, was caught completely off guard. He stepped back and several needles were stuck into his chest and arms- Though thankfully, these weren't strong enough to hit anything that could seriously injured someone.

Frustrated, but still in shock, he would stumble backwards, falling onto some fishing equipment while the three 'goons' moved forward, pulling out knives and daggers. They, and the smaller man, were thankfully saved from the barrage of hair, leaving her with four potential targets to deal with.

What was worse, she could see the Chakra in each one- Though, that didn't mean they could all use Ninjutsu... It also didn't make it any easier to see which one was the actual Shinobi..

But that said, what did make it clear was the one in the back forming a single seal, before leaping backwards and kneading his chakra together. Water droplets would begin to formulate, finalizing in five before they were rapidly sent forward, aiming for the Uchiha's arms and legs. It was clear the boy didn't aim to kill, but disable- His companions, however, were quite clearly going for reckless stabs and cuts.


NAME: Suiton: Teppōdama [Water Release: Gunshot]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: High
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Suiton
HANDSEALS: 1
DESCRIPTION:
The user kneads chakra, and converts it into water, and then spits it out in the form of condensed balls. The high-speed water ball attack possesses just as much power to kill as an actual gunshot. While this is a water release technique, it can still be employed someplace where no water is available, which is a great advantage. It is also possible to increase the power of destruction of the spheres themselves by building up the chakra inside of them. The number of bullets is determined while kneading chakra. By taking advantage of gravity, the bullets can brutally increase in power.

1 Injured Heavy set man
3 Uninjured Goons with Knives
1 Genin-Level? Shinobi


=================


Meanwhile, Kai had his own problems to deal with. He had managed to shock one of the Shinobi pretty badly, but the one with the Fishing Hook was clearly built different. He clapped his hands together, leaving his weapon hooked on the Kunai, before he flung his palm forward, slamming Kai with a sudden burst of air.

Just like that, Kai was flung backwards, slamming into a pair of crates, dangerously close to the water. He grunted in pain, but leapt back up to his feet and prepared a set of seals of his own.

"You want to get nasty? Fine... Just don't be surprised... When you get BURNED!" A shout, and two fingers up to his mouth... And a flamethrower would roar out of his mouth, aiming to consume the four men remaining on his side of the boat with a deadly burning sensation.

The man with the hook was able to dodge out of the way during the shpeel, but the other three weren't so lucky- Ending up on fire, screaming as they jumped off the boat and into the water, and leaving burns on the boat they were standing on.

Shoot.

NAME: Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu [Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Katon
HANDSEALS: Six
DESCRIPTION:
Acquisition of this technique indicates a young Uchiha's transition to adulthood, and has thus become an identifying symbol among themselves. After performing the seals, chakra is kneaded inside the body and converted into fire which is expelled from the mouth either as a expeditious massive orb of roaring flame comparable to a comet or as a continuous flame-thrower. The released flames will engulf their target, and leave a crater in the ground's surface. In its comet form, this technique is capable of going as far as 40 meters. As a flamethrower, its range is shorter at 20 meters, but can engulf several oncoming projectiles and opponents. For those who posses a Katon Ability, this technique possesses the speed, power, and efficiency of a B-ranked jutsu.

[attr="class","Dpost"]It was expected her attitude and comments would aggravate the bandits and honestly, that's what Setsuko wanted. She may not be the tactical type, but one thing she did know was people did get frustrated if someone didn't respect them. She was one of these people herself, but so long as she had Kai around she was fairly calm overall. Her eyes didn't help her too much at this current moment in identifying which of the opponents she had was the shinobi, but it did give her an idea of how they would attack her, and with the fact she was already a mobile type of fighter this meant things wouldn't be too difficult in dealing with them.

However, she wouldn't have to wait very long to figure out who was the shinobi of the group as she could make out the young one weaving hand seals. She needed to take care of him first so when his attack began launching towards her she would activate two jutsu of her own. The first is her irregular dodging technique to stop from being hit by the water bullets. Essentially she would twist her body and spin in a horizontal space letting her legs and arms tuck in a bit so they wouldn't be in the same space as before. Then once she landed she would shunpo behind the young boy and using a blunt end of a kunai she would smack him upside his temple to knock him out form this fight so she could deal with the other bandits.

NAME: Fukisoku Kaihi [Irregular Dodging]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu
ELEMENT: N/a
HANDSEALS: N/a
REQUIREMENT:Taijutsu Secondary or Agility SA
DESCRIPTION:
While any individual can try to jump from the path of an attack, those truly skilled at the art of evasion will find less obvious methods to avoid attacks. Dropping down to a split, flipping just over the area of attack, contorting their body into unusual angles and so on. This technique is effectively just a higher degree of training to use either the terrain or the blindspots of an attack to dodge in usual ways so that the user may either more readily escape or press their counter attack.

NAME: Shunpo [Flash Step]
RANK: D
CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low
CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu
ELEMENT: N/A
HANDSEALS: 0
DESCRIPTION:
The first principle of Senkouken is speed- Being able to act quickly and efficiently. Senkou's core move thus is a technique that allows the user to propel themselves forward by allowing for a sudden push of chakra through their legs and down to eventual strike from their feet onto the ground, propelling themselves at a speed that their movements become a blur. Skilled user's may project themselves at a point where they are no longer seen, and may utilize multiple steps in their attack. Shunpo has been know to be similar to Shuushin since they both hold the same principle of increasing ones physical states to increase speed. This jutsu is only to be primaraly used for handful of steps since its primary use is for close range combat. The longer the distance the more strain on the muscles will occur. If the user uses this jutsu over 5 meters in a single burst it will cause server damage in the leg muscles. [Counts towards Shunshin 4 Times per thread]

Setsuko had her work cut out for her, but thankfully, she was prepared. Evasive measures would be done to avoid the water bullets, which just barely were off track and ended up smacking into the wooden boards instead. That trick might not work twice though, so she'd certainly have to be careful of it.

That said, the sudden appearance of her rippling behind him, aiming the blunt end of that Kunai at the back of his head... He couldn't avoid that. It smacked him, and he flopped forward, seemingly knocked out...

Before popping up on the opposing vessel, their body replaced by a wooden log. A Kawarimi! A trick, at that, as the opposing Shinobi stared the girl down.

"I expected better out of a Uchiha..." The teen seemed to taunt, the boats still touching as he flashed a single seal.

"But this fight is over!" A shout, as a wave of water would come from the Uchiha's rear. It would crash over the boat, aiming to bruise and damage the woman... As well as the rest of the pirates still standing on it.
NAME: Suiton: Haran Banshō [Water Release: Stormy Blockade]
RANK: B
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Suiton
HANDSEALS: 1
DESCRIPTION:
By using Suiton chakra to gather up a massive amount of water from the air, the user will force it to group together and then fall on the opponent. Due to the sheer amount of water the opponent will be pressed flat to the ground, as well as suffering bruised and cracked bones. If the user needs to they can disperse the jutsu in an instant.


===========================


Meanwhile, Kai was busy facing his own demons. Or at this point, one demon, a man with some clear Shinobi training. Pulling the Kunai from his belt again, he'd charge forward and clash with the Pirates own, engaging in a brief stint of melee combat. While nothing fancy from either fighter, it was clear that Kai was going to be occupied with his own fight, rather than be able to help his cousin with her own...

[attr="class","Dpost"]Her kunai hit its target and the boy would collapse and honestly, it felt too easy of a knockout. With a sudden pop, the boy's body would be replaced with a log and Setsuko would roll her eyes and mutter, "Of course." Turning to where the boy's voice came from she couldn't help but smirk at his attempt at a taunt. "Oh honey, you have no idea what I'm capable of." She would watch the boy's attack of a crashing wave come her way and would use her Shunpo again this time in conjunction with the water-walking technique.

Setsuko would appear on the water's surface a good distance away from the ships and begin weaving her hand seal. Kneading chakra inside her body she would expel some fire into a vortex where the boy was to trap him in a flaming inferno. This would cause him severe burns along with setting fire to the boat the bandits were on. She wouldn't stay in one spot though as she knew her use of katon jutsu wouldn't be the most effective against a suiton user so she would need Kai's help. Setting herself up for another attack she would send about a dozen flaming birds flying towards the bandit Kai was dealing with hoping to give him an opening or do some damage to him.

HANDSEALS: 1
DESCRIPTION:
After a single seal, the user kneads chakra inside their body and convert it into fire, which is then expelled from the mouth in a large stream. The blaze is drawn into a spiral when the user expands their stomach, which will engulf the opponent in a massive vortex, giving them no option to escape, leaving them to suffer and burnt to ashes.

DESCRIPTION:
After three hand-seals, the user will clap their hands together and create a dozen or so small, swallow like birds of fire around them. The birds are then used as projectiles, fired all at once, with a range of twenty meters, which they can cover in five seconds. They can cause serious burns, and disfigurement alone. But together can easily take down a group of shinobi as they will ignite any flammable objects, such as clothes.

As she moved, the eyes of the stranger followed. Seals were already being woven, and, when the vortex of fire was slung his way, he readied and prepared a suiton technique... A spiral to meet a vortex. How fitting.

The two would crash with a thunderous shock, shaking all of the boats in the water as waves would ripple across the surface. This was getting taxing for the boy, obviously, as he was starting to slow down- The usage of so many jutsu in short order had him panting as fire and water dissipated.

This left Setsuko with an opening... An easy to exploit opening.

NAME: Suiton: Suigun Suima no Jutsu [Water Release: Water Army Water Demon Technique]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Suiton
HANDSEALS: 4
DESCRIPTION:
This technique gathers a large amount of water to form a large spiraling stream of water much like a drill. The drill can then be guided to strike a target in a number of angles. Once they hit the target the drills will hit them with the force of a bullet, not breaking skin but definitely bruising and cracking bone.



===============

Kai, meanwhile, was in his own world of fighting. Doing battle against a man with a much larger weapon than him. Thankfully, Kai was the better fighter, even if he was at the disadvantage of having the worse weapon.

That changed, however, when the birds slammed into his opponent from behind. Unable to defend himself from both sides, the Shinobi quickly ignited into flames. Screaming in a panic, Kai was easily able to close the distance, thrusting his Kunai up through the neck of his opponent and into their skull- Stopping their screeching in less than a moment, as a splash of red would fly across the Uchiha's face- Blocked from the eye's only by Kai's hat.

Well, that was 5 down so far. Only one more to go- The Shinobi on the boat, who seemed rather exhausted... With the four other men on Setsuko's side petrified at this point, clearly surrendering.
