Bjorn chuckled to himself slightly as the first wolf flew across the cavern to slam into the wall and fall limp and dead at the ground. Looking around, Bjorn and Grym both growled back at the intermitted growls as Grym glanced at the big man “Their scents disappear and reappear randomly…. These things might be tough… not sure if our taijutsu will work well..” Bjorn would let a low growl escape his throat as he lunged at a wolf scent he picked up to his left, throwing a punch at the shape he could see. Unfortunately, his fist would phase right through and smash into the wall. Jumping back to be beside his brother, Bjorn would think for a moment. His taijutsu couldn’t hit them, so his doton jutsu was likely to go through them as well. Maybe katon….Bjorn would scan the cavern and watch where the red eyes were floating around him and the grey smoky wolf shapes were. Running through a series of handsigns, Bjorn would send his chakra through the ground quickly and a pillar of flames would erupt from beneath the “feet” of one of the wolves. He wasn’t sure what this would do, if it would do anything, but he had to try something. Grym would hang back, waiting to see if Bjorn’s gambit with the fire worked, then he could use his fuuton to add to it later.

Description: It doesnt take a medical ninja specializing in brain surgery to know that a moving target is more difficult to to hit then a still target. By practicing always moving, especially right before they block, the user allows their movements to become slightly more difficult to pin down. By moving with the direction of the attack, the user can even lessen the impact force, making their defenses easier to perform. When engaging a physical force that will defeat their same rank defense (ie: berserker discipline, weapon specialist discipline, sage mode) the user may expend the additional half-rank stamina to allow the defense, of this style, to work. If you possess one of the above disciplines, then you may only do this for the style you do not receive an increase for.
JSJF: Principle: Circles and Angles
Description: The user, through a little combative understanding and sheer combative need, begins to understand the idea of moving and attacking on circles and angles. This way, they are able to circularly avoid attacks and danger, or simply slip off the angle off attack their opponent uses. When faced with a taijutsu and non-projectile based bukjutsu technique of D rank of lower, the user can simply expend that rank of stamina to augment a given technique of this style to perform a fast shift and dodge to avoid the technique. When faced with a taijutsu and non-projectile based bukjutsu technique of C rank or lower, the use can expand that rank of stamina to count as a defensive activation to perform a fast shift and dodge to avoid the technique. If used during a combination, this counts as one of the techniques.
JSJF: Principle: Sticking and Tracking
Description: When in the jungle, gaining control of your opponent is crucial. The longer the battle continues, the longer it has the chance of continuing. If you cant see your opponent, then you cant fight the opponent. The user must train to utilize their body as a form of sensory unit gaining a sensitivity to feeling pressure and movement as they attach to their opponent. By attempting to obtain constant contact with the opponent, with multiple points of attachment, the user is better able to combat a single opponent by transitioning from technique to technique while staying attached to the opponent. When attached to a given limb prior to the opponents attack using said limb, the user may use a single defensive technique and pay half the stamina cost to defend it/parry it/avoid it. This counts as a single offensive activation.
JSJF: Principle: There is Never an Idle limb
Description: In the jungle, combat is hectic, ferocious, and often brutal. To maximize their survivability, masters of Jing Shen Jie Fang utilize the principle of constant motion with all of their limbs, all the time and not get hung up in one action. By focusing on this principle, the user understands that by utilizing all their limbs during offense, as well as defense, that they can become an overwhelming force, like the roots of the jungle trees that smoother the ground. The user can now use their legs instead of their hands or weapons to defend an attack and perform combinations by using the stage 1 directions to defend the torso and lower body, leaving their hands free to engage and the attacker.
JSJF: Principle: Block off the back, Attack with the Front
Description: The ability to reach out and touch your enemy while not having them touch you has been the very defining thing of modern combat. By effective understanding of range, its variety, and constant flux, the user begins to change their offensive and defensive structure to block/parry with the rear weapon and attack with the front weapon. With no change in power, it can greatly increase the effectiveness of the user, allowing them to possibly land more strikes and attacks by distance alone.
JSJF: Principle: Whipping and Swimming the Arms
Description: When combat occurs in the close quarters, and confined and chaotic location like the jungle, then the user needs to be able to move themselves effectively to make sure they are not surrounded or flanked by multiple opponents or a single opponent getting a lucky shot. By whipping and swimming their arms and limbs, the user can transition from outside to inside of the opponent, offering different angles and attacking opportunities while limiting the opponents options. This can also allow the user to slightly manipulate their opponent with defensive and parry techniques to make multiple opponents block each other, or risk hitting each other instead of the user.

The strike to the wall would cause a large portion of the cave wall to crumble and the sounds of more wolves attacking in the adjoining cavern would come to Bjorn's ears. The collapsing wall exposed the body of two mutilated corpses, both torn asunder by sharp and nasty fangs and the sound of struggle beneath would be evident that his partner was contending with more beasts below.
His gambit with the flames, however, would pay off as several of the wolves backed away and the scent of their corporeal bodies could be collected now. Yet, the nagging feeling of chakra drain would remain over Bjorn, growing stronger as an even larger shadow walked around the flames, through the shadows cast by the sudden bright lights. The beast, should he catch sight of it, was nearly on size with Grym and its features, even when shadowed, were much more clear and concise. This beast would most likely be the alpha.

Chakra Drain this Round, 40 pts. Two more of the beasts have withdrawn into the shadows, but are visible.

Bjorn watched as his flame plume burst up, causing a few of the wolves to back away as Grym grunted that their scents were stable and present now. Bjorn was about to move in for the kills when suddenly he noticed a larger, more defined shadow moving among the shadows created by his pillar. ‘The alpha, probably’ Bjorn thought to himself as he saw the shadow wolf, which as nearly as large as Grym. He needed to make this one materialize as well, so that he could fight it more effectively. Grunting at Grym, the bear came up with an idea. Twitching his ears, the air pressure in the cavern would suddenly skyrocket, adding much more fuel to the fire pillar and causing it to burn hoter, brighter, and bigger. To the brothers’ thinking, this would shrink the shadows around them, if not eliminate them completely as the plume grew. Bjorn would then perform a couple handsigns and touch the floor of the cavern, causing walls of black steel to rise along the walls, their lustrous surfaces reflecting the flames light to further illuminate the cavern. The bears would hunker down a bit, hoping their ideas worked and preparing themselves for the fight that they knew was coming.

The Brother's gambit would pay off and force all of the glass wolves in the cavern to materialize, but as the black iron walls rose and the pressure increased, only for the oxygen to be eaten, the flames darted in every direction, looking for escape. The campfire in the lower cavern would be extinguished in a brilliant blaze of light, the temperatures within the cavern would skyrocket and the sudden percussion of the blast would throw the bear brothers outside of the cavern through the entrance. The wolves, unable to return to their chakra form, in both caverns would be immolated, with the exception of the one that stood to face Nariko. It, instead, would be crushed beneath the tumbling stones dislodged from the roof as part of the entryway from which the girl fell collapsed, saving her and the old man from the blast caused by the sudden experiment of the Bear Brothers.
Bjorn, given his placement behind his black steel and training in Katon defensive techniques would be shaken, his left eardrum punctured from the sudden force of the blast. Grym, however, would be much worse for the wear. The bear, laying among the grass, atop the corpse of the Mountain Stalker that had been thrown out just moments before him, would bare burn marks down the side of his body, to the flesh in many locations, while much of his fur was singed from the follow-through blast. Corpses of the wolves lay, scattered around the wood, with one, the Alpha, piked to the tree above Grym, it's skull pierced by a broken branch. In total, six wolf corpses, and the mountain stalker were still accessible around the battered brothers.
Nariko, given her placement with the old man, would find herself and the old man trapped in the darkness, the air hot and the oxygen thin. Only embers remained of the campfire they had before, but with a few passing moments a cool breeze could be felt from the back of the cavern, opposite where the wolves had entered.

As the brothers landed outside the cavern from the aftermath of their attempt to force the wolves to materialize, Grym and Bjorn would both grunt loudly as the large man slammed into a tree and slid down to the ground and Grym landed atop the fairly charred corpse of the mountain stalker they had fought earlier.Shaking his head, Bjorn tried to get rid of the ringing in his left ear before standing up on somewhat wobbly legs as the blast had still disoriented him some, even if the physical damage was minimal. He looked over at Grym when he heard a low, rumbling groan and his breath caught for a moment. The large bear want nearly as bad off as the wolves of course, but he was pretty badly burnt. Staggering over to Grym, Bjorn shook the bear, eliciting groans and a sore growl from the bear. Bjorn saw some spots of fur in the bear still burning and made a handsign, drawing up sand and dirt from around them and piling it onto the burns to cool and smother the heat of the burns. Once those were taken care of for the time being, the big man grabbed hold of the corpse of the alpha glass wolf and pulled it off of the branch it was stuck on, tossing it to the ground beside the mountain stalker and Grym. After he had all the dead beasts piled up, Bjorn would create a dome of black steel around the corpses as a way to protect them and mark their location should he have to Coke back for them later. Returning to Grym's side he was glad to see the bear already moving a little better again as he licked his wounds, "Next time.... Put the walls around me, brother... I can't take the fire as easily as you..." The massive grizzly growled, Bjorn couldn't help but chuckle slightly, "Will do, brother... Don't worry, we'll get you some medical help and get those burns healed as quick as we can..."

Chōumei Sue Akamichi || Rank :: Konohagakure | Title: Genin | Rank: D || Class :: Performer/ Bukijutsu || Chakra :: 400/400 || Stamina :: 180/180
食 Tsu-chans question of their being stragglers soon bared fruit and Chōumei would crick her neck as she'd slow pace to look at the bodies a little more carefully. Seeing the injuries that killed the man and the raiton burns and the faint smell of ozone coming off his clothing she could tell it must of been a "pack" decision to kill the weakest link, a characteristic Chōumei personally never liked but understood for primitive animals. Yet for her own "pack" she wouldn't stand for succumbing to pressure or stress to the extent that anyone would be expendable in this manner. It made Chōumei a bit more pissed than she had already been for what they did to "Birdtha. " Kiru-chan you've got better eyes than me but tell me if you think this was recent and how recent it might of been. Even though the did this to shed the weight I don't think he'd go down quietly or quickly. Tsu-chan..."
Just as Chōumei was organizing for what they could gather briskly from this finding on the trail she'd hear the sudden blast in the distance. "Pop Pop! There goes the dinn'a bell. Lets head towards that cliff side, seems there's some action going on over there. Should take care of the tedium for ya Yasu-chin." With that Chōumei would move the team out towards the cliff side closing in on where she'd figured the blast had come from from the smoke and the sound, and where the wild life seemed to thin out naturally to avoid danger. When she reached the area Chōumei and the team would be graced with the sight of their senior shinobi's Bjorn and Grym working on what looked like a pile of wolves. Reaching the area from a elevated angle Chōumei would call down to the team. "OI~HIO~!, BEAR-SAN and WILD-SAN!"
Chōumei would descend upon the two and would approach in a bouncing bubbly fashion waving her hand and continued on to explain her situation to Bjron and Grym. "So~ yeah we're chasing after a possibly a bandit group maybe something more that took something from the village, but they've been cut down to just...my counts four, right?" Chōumei would take a second to look at the others as if checking with them then continuing, "Anywho we could use a bit of back up on this since we don't know ho big their ranks might be and how many of them got away that weren't with the team we're directly aftera~...hmm, but yeah thin you could sniff out the guys for us. They're strong enough to injure Anbu operatives, but on a better note we've got healers. Introducing or Reintroducing Tsubaki Yamanaka and Kirumi Yamanaka and Kyo. All of whom can heal you two up, especially you Grym from your...party? yeah party. Kay, and the kami-sama will bless you eternally if you help. so come along pretty please with pound-cake on top, man I could go for some pound cake."

Their depth and devotion to the weapon arts allows their skill to increase with every rank allowing their weapons to cut through defensive bukijutsu techniques of the same rank.
• Walking Contradiction: Chōsu has oddly no trouble when it comes to performing genjutsu, contradicting and overriding her clans normal weakness in this area, and all ninjutsu and genjutsu slots are compounded into genjutsu, yet learning genjutsu does take one [1] more post for her than others.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXTsubaki covered her mouth at the sight of the killed man. She'd never seen raiton used so brutally. Especially up close. Eventually she had to cover her nose instead of her mouth because of the smell. She hated panting at the sight but it was all she could do to avoid throwing up. Something about the lone kill seemed too real. She didn't say a word as anger rolled off of Choumei, who took to their telepathic connection. The Yamanaka had listened close for the order, but a noise in the distance set them all off. Suddenly they were heading to the cliff side and hunting down the sound.
She observed the signs of danger from nature. There was an uneasy, unnatural quiet that hung over the environment. She figured this was one of those times that silence meant violence. Choumei's voice was a godsend, even if she was calling out different people. It made the medic furrow her brows (Bear-san? Wild-san?) but she followed along regardless. Then she saw the objects of her leader's interest and bounded off after her.
Tsubaki bit back a sigh as Choumei explained every bit of their situation. She could just link them! It would be rude to do it now, so she stood and listened instead. She gave a small nod when her name was spoken. She smiled at Choumei's recruitment method (pound cake was pretty good) before speaking up herself. "We're in a telepathic link. I'd like to link you into our mental network if that's not a problem." If Bjorn didn't speak up, she'd connect his mind to their telepathic conversations. Kirumi could have as well, but Tsubaki didn't mind taking initiative. In the moment, she forgot the consider that Grym had a mind, and one worth listening to, but then it's not every day that one meets a bear that can fight and talk and think like a man. She pursed her lips for a moment before speaking again.
"Do we know what direction they- Hey, you're the one from the bell drill!" She glared at him for a few moments before dark marks caught her eye. Her gaze was a bit scrutinizing as she examined the bear again, finally noticing the burns. Her expression dropped into a more serious one as she immediately went to his side. "I gotcha, buddy..." She put her hands together to form a few hand signs before putting the healing hands technique gently against the mammal's fur.

Kirumi coughed, doing her best to force herself not to vomit at the grim sight that greeted the group in the caves. She had to force her eyes away from the sight, which was easier said than done. It was pretty clear that something happened here, the outcome of that event being present in the form of this brutally mutilated man in front of them. It caused Kirumi to shake, her first and hopefully last experience with seeming something this dark happen to a person, even if it was somebody whose morals were not exactly up to par. Choumei asked for her opinion on how fresh the kill was, the young Yamanaka shaking her head and refusing the order. "Not even if you paid me....Let's say it's recent and not stay here."
Before she could continue and argue about it with Choumei, a blast came from a little bit further up ahead. As usual, the chocolate skinned leader led the group of genin towards the danger, coming to rest by a cliff side. There were two other burly men standing below the entire party thus far. Near their vicinity lied a pile of wolf corpses, almost like they were out wolf hunting. The leader called down to them, explaining the situation to the two males, and then introducing Tsubaki and herself as the healers, the purple haired Yamanaka offering to link them into the telepathic link. Keeping to her natural self, this Yamanaka gave a simple nod, hanging back while the more important and capable member sof Ninhogo dealt with the important business.
Following the rest of his team he passed the dead man but gave it little to no regard, though he did keep a mental note of its demise. Moving right along he smiled quite a bit wider and visibly perked up when Chou-chan mentioned the tedium breaking explosion. Pulling his blade free he nodded and fell in beside her. When they came upon Bjorn and Grym even Yasu was surprised to see them in that state. Giving a light smirk he nodded,"You look like s**t big guy. Especially the bear, looks like he got fired out of a cannon." Turning slightly to face Kirumi and Tsubaki he nodded,"Thnk you two could do anything to help em?" Turning back he Choumei and Bjorn he sighed,"So, bring us up to speed, what happened?" Facing Choumei he shook his head a bit,"Dont get me wrong I am excited to throw down with these people too, but if the big guy here came out worse for wear like this, if we rush in what do you think will happen to us."

Stirring shadows and the sound of a horn blowing could be heard from the highest of the caverns on the cliffside. A single figure, dressed in robes of red stood at the mouth of the cavern, much too high to simply traverse, barely visible against the setting of the sun. A hand held aloft, flames roaring within it's palm, marked the man apart from the terrain, before he turned his back on those far beneath and made his way into the interior.
Bjorn and Grym both looked up when they heard someone shouting, each letting out a growl, anticipating a fight. When Bjorn noticed it was Choumei, he grumbled to Grym to relax and the bear fell quiet for a bit, groaning softly from the pain of his burns. As the squad all joined him and Choumei began to explain their situation, Bjorn nodded along, putting together the series of events as best he could, then the purple haired Yamanaka mentioned something about a telepathic link, the big man and bear both let out a short growl at that, “Sorry Tsubaki, Grym and I don’t much like the idea of other people in our heads.. gonna have to pass on that one… “ it was then that Tsubaki went to work on healing Grym and the big bear shifted his head over with a groan, “Thank you, little cub…” the huge grizzly would rumble out as he felt his pain start to subside as the girl worked. Bjorn would then hear the comments from Yasuhiro and chuckle slightly, “Actually… this was kind of our own doing.. Those wolves over there in the pile had us surrounded deep in one of those caverns on the cliff-face…. And they had the strange ability to turn into a merge with the shadows, but solidified when in the light… so we tried to fill the cave with light for my katon jutsu.. and it ended up exploding,. Burned Grym up, my left ear may be damaged, but it killed all the wolves, as you can see from their charred corpss in the pile, which I want to take back to the village for the Hokage to look at. Nariko, Grym and I were sent here to look for something big.. but she ran in head first without thinking like an overconfident idiot, and I have no idea what happened to her when our blast went off. But, once you get Grym patched up, we’d be glad to help you hunt down your targets.”
It was then that the bear brothers would hear a loud horn sound and Bjorn would turn back towards the cliffs, growling as he searched for the source. Scanning the caverns, he spotted what looked like a ball of fire, about the size of a palm, and traced it down to a person in red-looking robes, the distance made it difficult to tell for sure, Part of him wanted to use his massive strength and claws to tear up the mountain face and chase the man down, but he knew that would be foolish, so turned back to the others, “Was that anything like the people you’ve been tracking?”

食 folding her arms over her chest and tilting her head to the side when Bjorn and Grym both declined Tsu-chan's offer to join the mind meld the team was in. Chōumei was a bit put off by the thought of them staying out of the close nit team work it allowed them to perform, but then again she did take note that maybe it was a bit of a crutch if she became so dependent of the skills of the yamanaka members of her team for cohesion. When Yasu-chin stepped in he'd further question them about the battle that seemed to go down recently for the two. And Chōumei was a bit wide eyed at the description of the beasts ability to meld with the shadows. in their mind cnnnect Chōumei found her self thinking, "Oh~, I've gots to get me one of those shadow wolf pelts. Did I ever tell you guys I'm thinking about making custom robes and generally clothing maybe some armor. My moms been showing me the basics since I could hold a needle without pricking my finger....well without pricking it several times."
Another point that Chōumei seemed to become a little reliant on their connect was that she had a habit of simply breaking into tangents in silent thought...well to the outside world it was silent, but inside their heads she'd have the freedom to riddle off her thoughts real quick before it became a real distraction. In all honesty her ability to lead was really supported a lot by the members of Nihongo balancing her out, but maybe that was a given with how Ino-Shika-Cho formations just always seemed to turn out. She clued back into the caution Yasu-chin brought up but Chōumei wasn't so sure that the threat was as serious as they might of been assuming. She was cautious but Chōumei's mentality always held some hint of daring and blind bravery to it that she couldn't quite be shaken of even in the worst of situations.
She'd walk over to the bear as he'd probably be nearing being well on the mend from Tsu-chan's medical ninjutsu and would reach out to pat his shoulder. "You're looking better already big fella. Last time I saw you, you gave me quite the scare. Though then again ..." cut off by the sound of a horn and sight of a light coming from a cavern entrance above the group Chōumei would glare deeply at the visage of the figure above and her mind would be already working out if this person looked anything like what remnants of the leader she saw in her vision brought on by "big Birdtha" (there was a whole thing with a giant bird John, we'll fill you in later). immediately she'd shareher thought through the link and likely they'd all respond to Bjorns question in sync. (which would be really cool in RP, pretty please team~ 3nodding, just one synced up no and we fill in our own perspectives on info gathered to relay to Bjorn. also I think the children of the corn kinda mind meld bit makes it funny as heck. )
"NO, that's not him. Well not the one I think was leading the group we were after. He'd had much more tattered clothing not a robe, but that don't mean we should let this person slip through, but it seems~ pretty obvious to be a trap or an invitation into trouble sugah. You're the Senpai here Bjorn but i think tsubaki here can scout the cost so we can tackle this in a safer way than just running up their. Though standing here for long seems like a bad move too. I'll follow your lead if you wanna take over, but I've been having some luck keeping the team hot on their trail. Still though I guess I couldn't ask for a better teacher in tracking than... a reformed wild-man of the forest. "
a bit long winded as ever but Chōumei was making her thoughts clear as she'd made her move from Gryms side to a point off to the side on the rocks not right on the heel of the robed guy, but she was showing a clear desire to want to give chase, but gauging the thoughts of her teams caution against her tempest like instinct seemed to be the best balance.
((OOC:: Well i wanna run after them but again how we move on this seems like a team move that would be better set in motion with a little thinking on all our feet. So~ chat about ideas!))

Passives/Attributes: • Learn Ninjutsu one [1] post faster. [ Academy] • Learn Genjutsu one [1] post faster [Academy] • Learns Bukijutsu one [2] post faster. [ DoJo] • Learns Taijutsu one [1] post faster. [ Dojo]
• Emotional Content: The user is able to make fantastic illusions appear by performing on their instrument. This ability comes at the cost of not being able to perform ninjutsu through use of performance or instrument. Can perform B rank genjutsu and lower at Gennin.
•Weapon Specialist: The user Gains a free custom weapon slot, while forsaking the ability to learn ninjutsu for the ability to learn more than 1 rigorous style (styles still count for 2 slots). With their inability to learn ninjutsu, they get to learn [1] additional bukijutsu style for every 10 ninjutsu slots their were supposed to acquire. Their depth and devotion to the weapon arts allows their skill to increase with every rank allowing their weapons to cut through defensive bukijutsu techniques of the same rank.
• Walking Contradiction: Chōsu has oddly no trouble when it comes to performing genjutsu, contradicting and overriding her clans normal weakness in this area, and all ninjutsu and genjutsu slots are compounded into genjutsu, yet learning genjutsu does take one [1] more post for her than others. (not conflicting with buki discipline b/c she "would of" had them)
• Prodigious Martial-Artist!: Chōsu has a large and curvy build and flexible physical shape that allows her to learn and practice most any(soft or hard) Buki or Tai-jutsu style rigorous or not with just one [1] slot. Provided her curvy physique has the benefit of mass for hard-style, and springy flexibility for soft-style. (though purely light-weight styles are restricted when heavy) Yet this is a taxing task in terms of the time it takes to learn these Jutsu increasing learning requirements by one [1] post.
• The Hunter's Instinct: Can always find The [Chakra Virus] monster in the general direction from her location.
• Basic Stance Physical :: E :: training The user holds their weapon at the belly button level, with the tip of the blade pointing at their opponents throat. This is a simple, but aggressive stance.
A small smile spread across his face as he heard bear-san tell his tale about how he had actually done that himself. Though the tactical part of his mind acknowledged it as a sound tactic and he, admittedly, would have done the same. Though his smile faded quickly hearing the horn and watching the fireball.
Taking a knee he took a deep breath and closed his eyes. His hands laced themselves together in something akin to the dragon seal with the fingers reversed. It wasnt actually a seal, it was just a thing he always did. Right now he had to come up with a plan, to fight an unknown enemy with relatively unknown powers. The beasts that melded with shadows could be dealt with relatively easy. It was the fact that, this man could very well be the one thing he didnt want to face, a light user. Given the bright flash of light from the bird, the katon he had just fired off, and the raition burns on the man they passed.
Despite being a nara prodigy in every sense of the term, he could feel his confidence waning a bit. Cutting the mental link he ignored all else around him and focused on the moment. What did he know, this man likely possessed some form of control over the shadow wolves, and the elements of katon and raiton. However he wasnt the man from before which meant that they would have to be on the ready to engage at least two strong enemies.
Going back to that cave was an obvious trap. One hundred percent without a doubt they would be waiting for them ready to pounce. This assault would be foolish and stupid. Standing back to his feet he nodded raising a hand,"Hold up you two. There is brave, then there is stupid. We have another unknown contact who we know nothing about plus, the previous contact we were chasing is still out there. There is no way in hell that that cave isnt a trap. I am all for doing ones duty but lets be real here, if we go into that cave, some of us are not walking out. If we do this we break rule number one, fight your enemy on your terms. That man WANTS us to go up there, Choumei," Using her full name should have given her a tip as to just how serious he was,"How many lives are you willing to sacrifice to take him down. Dont do this. We just dont have the intel or the manpower, or the tactical advantage to pull this off, bear san or not."
As it turned out, both Wolfe and Grim were responsible for the pile of charred wolf husks back where they had just came from. The burly man had told the group of thw olves' power, slipping into just like Yasu's ability from his bloodline to the Nara clan. Kirumi was about to ask Yasu-chan if he had any knowledge about something such as this before the Nara prodigy quickly began to form his hands into seals. She exhaled and decided that he was much too busy to be bothered with her questions. Still, she turned back to the direction of the cave they were in and thought to herself some. How could those wolves even slip into the shadows like Bjorn, or Grim, or whatever said they did? Could they be from a pack of shinobi who knew a technique to teach animals that, or maybe they were something else entirely. Yasu spoke up, declaring that going to the caves was a suicidal choice, as it was most likely trapped by now. Kirumi or Tsubaki probably could try and scout the cave for any signs of jutsu or the like about, but it was probably too risky to do without starting the ambush. It looked like they were stuck there until they came to an agreement on something. "We should go after the contact we have more knowledge of. Bjorn and Grym can handle themselves if that...thing back there is any indication." The younger Yamanaka said, waving her arm in the direction of the wolf corpses back in the cave. She turned to Choumei and spoke again, doing her best to sound as confident as the rest in her group, but faltered before she could get too much into it. "We're losing valuable time and distance. Our guy could be back to safety now. We need to find a way to pick up the chase and leave these two to their own hunt."
Aside from the acrid smell of burnt flesh, blood, and hair the air was very still. No more sounds of retreating feet could be heard, the man disappearing deep into the tunnels, taking a practiced path. A brief gust of wind would come from the cave, carrying out small amounts of debris and a few smaller rocks as he wiped his footsteps with an unknown action.
