Hired Muscle! [Fallen][Mission]

[FallenKeeper]

Etsuba quickly turned his attention to Kenta as Ishiro dealt with their prisoner. Fatigue was settling in now as the adrenaline wore off. The confidence high from earlier had already dissipated and left him drained. Pain was now beginning to soar from his injuries and reveal itself on his facial expression. With a half-wince the genin knelt down next to the client and overlooked him carefully. Though he wasn't a medic in anyway, he could at least survey if there were any visible injuries.

Kenta seemed confused and looked at the prisoner as if it were his protector. Had the boy been placed under a genjutsu? "Kenta, we're the shinobi you hired. From the Leaf village. These men," he gestured towards the rogue-nin with his shoulder, "captured you. We came to save you." Gently Etsuba reached his right hand to Kenta's shoulder. If the boy didn't recoil he would attempt to pour his chakra slowly into Kenta, with the hopes of disrupting his flow and breaking any genjutsu that may have been in place.

The rogue ninja who was now a prisoner looked up at Ishiro as he talked, he then smirked for a split second before he completely lost consciousness.

Kenta took in the situation and got a bearing on what was going on. He seemed completely coherent in his perspective of the situation. He felt Etsuba's hand on his shoulder. It didn't do seem to change Kenta's view on things. "So you did save me from these guys. Thank you. I think i understand what is going on. The kenta you know is not me, i must have been laying here for a while now. I've never seen you before. Which means that the kenta you met before was not me. They knew I requested an escort, but when i headed over to meet you guys they intercepted me. I can't remember anything after that. The one you knew must have been trying to lead you into an ambush. Shall we continue on, i'd really like to just get to the city and find a nice bed to rest in..." Kenta put his hand on his head, he appeared to be exhausted or have a headache.

Ishiro grunted with disappiontment and annoyance when the ex-shinobi passed out. Ishiro, who was hunched over, brought the kunai up, and slammed it down into the ground. When the shinobi woke up, the first thing he would see would be a kunai with an explosive tag right in front of his face. Standing up, pain shot through his shoulder and neck. Bringing his right hand up to cover his neck, which hurt the most, he grimaced and tilted his head to the left.

He walked over to where Etsuba was to hear the rest of the conversation. Apparently, they had been fooled this whole time. That shinobi was an impersonator, and not really Kenta.

"I'll have a talk with the Gate Guards, imposters shouldn't be able to sneak into the Leaf like that."

[/color] He looked at Etsuba, nodding. The nod caused pain to shoot through his spine, and he winced at it.

"Leave him."[/color] he said, pointing a right thumb over his shoulder at the incapacitated enemy. "The buzzards will have their way with him before he wakes."

Tired, hungry, and hurt, he was ready to get on his way.

"Kenta, if you don't mind, lead the way. The threat is taken care of but, as our duty, we shall accompany you the rest of the way."

((If you want to expedite things, Tekato, just agree and then post something like us traveling and arriving at our point. If you want to roleplay a little more, though, be my guest.))[/blockquote][/font]

Etsuba retrieved the kunai he had left on the ground and stored them into his bag. Two audible pops signaled the dismissal of his clones. Pain nagged him as he walked back to join Ishiro and Kenta. The boy had been fortunate not to witness what had happened earlier on the road. Etsuba himself was still dealing with the facts. Two men had died at the hands of the shinobi and another two were incapacitated. Someone Kenta's age shouldn't have to come to terms with such acts.

The genin stepped in front of the boy and turned his back to him. Kneeling down he turned his head and spoke. "Hop on, we've got a ways to go."

Kenta nodded and lead the way to the town in Oto no kuni where he was heading. They had no troubles whatsoever during their journey. When they arrived Kenta thanked them graciously and told them all was well and that he would be safe in the town. He said his farewell and began walking away and could be seen entering the nearest inn where he would likely take refuge, as the day was coming to an end.

Seeing Kenta into the safety of the inn, Ishiro would nod at his companion, Etsuba, and begin the long walk back towards the village.

Etsuba smiled and waved farewell to Kenta before joining Ishiro on the journey home.
