"What?"
"There's a man in SEKAI...he sort of looks like a wolf...or a dog..." Joe asked, they were seated at a table that was set outside of the restaurant they were meeting at. They'd been here a good thirty minutes, talking about SEKAI and their operations. This kid didn't know much, if anything about the workings of the higher-ups, the only thing they were talking about were recent moves. The focus being set on Kaze no Kuni and Hi no Kuni and the country's respective representatives.
"I think I've heard of someone like that..." The raven-haired boy commented, sitting back in his chair, his lazy eyes peering up at the clear sky. The village they were in was at the foot of a towering mountain, settled just under a ridge that reached outward from the mountain ina peculiar way. Within the far wall were a number of buildings and homes, a number of flights of stairs led from the bottom of the ridge to the top--where the village continued on into the side of the mountain. "He operates here in this area, I think. His name is Yagano."
"Hm..." Joe stroked his chin, sitting across from the young man they were meeting with. It was then that a chill ran up his spine and his head rose, his hair shifting backward, he watched the ridge in the distance. "You said you were alone, right...?"

His nose was kept to a book as his eyes peered over watching the raven haired kid speak with Joe, it was strange for someone so young to be a contact about a group involving criminals. For the time being and the sake of this mission, Inase's headband was tucked away in his pocket. His eyes surveyed more then just the contact, he kept his watch on the area in the case this was a trap.
"Nothing yet..."
His eyes were put back to the book to keep up appearances, two glasses were set on the table for tea. Inase placed his book down and pulled his cloth over his face down to sip the tea, he decided it would be better for now to keep it removed in the case that he was seen and wrecked the mission. Across from him on the table was the partner that was brought along for this mission. He looked to him giving a sigh as he picked his book back up, they would converse in a low tone.
"This is taking too long..., I wonder if we should be worried."

As Inase kept himself occupied with that book while continuing his glances toward Joe and that raven haired fella's position, the cartoonist of the three was rather busy as well. Though he wasn't lost in the spur of the moment like usual, he was still doodling to try and pass the time. Playing follow the leader, Fujita's headband was stowed away in the pocket on his backside-- the metal making his seated position uncomfortable on his hiney. With his attention peeking from his sketch book every so often, he tried to just stop and listen for a moment taking everything in; sounds, smells... everything.
"Hm."
Reaching for his cup of tea, he hesitated for a moment when Inase sighed. Was that toward me or the waiting? pondered Fujita to himself. Shrugging it off, he guzzled what was left in his cup, setting it down on his right. Almost as soon as he went back to his sketch pad - the tip of the charcoal he held snapped right as it was pressed against the paper. His brow raised in confusion, his eyes meeting with Isane's while simultaneously hearing him out.
"I was thinking the same thing."

"Yeah...why?"
It was sudden--
The air seemed to thin--
Swirl and move about on it's own--
"?!"
"He did say that, didn't he?" A voice spoke directly behind the young man, a massive paw wrapped around his shoulder and neck, binding and choking at the young one. The beast was towering, Joe's eyes widened. "Speak of the devil and the devil shall appear." This man was no man, but a monster that mimicked man, a beast that stood upon it's hind legs. He lifted the young boy from his chair, his gigantic paw squeezed the boy's neck--
Joe stood from his chair so fast that it tumbled across the unpaved road beneath it, planting a hand on the table and lunging forward--
The beast laughed with it's maw, tossing the boy aside and sending him through the storefront window of the restaurant they were dining at--
A blur sprayed from the right of Joe, another ninja suddenly appeared drilling into Joe's side with a powerful knee and averting the ninja from harming the canine-like monster that stood before him. Joe skipped across the road like a stone caste upon a lake, grunting as he crashed into stacked crates. How cliche.
"I thought you knew better than to cross us, Gubo-san..." The maned beast groaned, his wet nose flared, staring at the young boy who was laid out within the store. Turning back to Joe who stood from the wooden remains of the crates he was hurled into, coughing as he noticed that dozens of ninja lined the rooftops around them.
"Take him." The dog-face bastard said, motioning to Joe, a horde of ninja spilled from the rooftop and rained down upon Joe--

"!.."
Inase stood up instantly as the man made his appearance, he jumped in the way to catch the informant as the store window would collide with his shoulder instead of the boys head. The blow was lightened as Inase created a plate of armor around his shoulder preventing any surface damage. His eyes looked back up to outside seeing Joe being tossed aside to the stacked crates. He jumped up back through the window, "Joe-San!"
Inase revved his arms back in a guard position letting dozens of spikes form onto his arms. They each hardened near instantly with a sharp point at the hand, he then threw his arms to the side releasing these spikes to the crowd of shinobi attempting to seize Joe.
"Kasuidan!"

With Inase busy lending aid to that Gubo fella, Fujita was in route toward Joe's position with an utmost haste, his feet gliding across the ground with each step; his breathe halting in the head of the moment. As he sprinted, he began simultaneously attaching an exploding tag to the already drawn kunai now held firmly in the artists hands - just seconds before that canine's horde of ninja showed themselves, he was finished. As they began to pour down from the rooftops from the monsters command-- Fujita acted accordingly, relieving Joe of that unwanted attention.
Like a star reliever in the bottom of the ninth with the game on the line, with his arm already cocked back he let forth a thunderous strike while his voice cried out to his comrade for his well being
"Stay low!!!"
Fujita's objective was to get those raining ninja off of Joe's back-- give em' some breathing room and maybe even take a couple of those boys lagging behind out with a concussive blast. The kunai left Fujita's hand, the air guiding it to explode well above Joe's broom like head of hair. This was done so the blast wave from the inevitable aftermath wouldn't effect him nor the ground which he stood on.
On the other hand, it would more then likely effect those in the air, likely sending some flying away while knocking the majority off balance, perhaps unconscious. Though it wasn't planned, Inase's Kasuidan would have free reign if everything went accordingly. All they needed now was Joe to get out of there safely, right?
Boom goes the dynamite!

Their attacks were simultaneous, as they fell upon him, they were pierced by Isane's attack--
A silver flash passed by Joe's face--
"GET DOWN!!!"
ドド―ン!!
"KWAAAH~!!"
Bodies rained from the heavens, crashing through rooftops while others were blasted into the ground and straight into walls due to the angle of the blast radius. They lied there with the projectiles lodged in their bodies thrown by Joe pushed off the ground, swirling winds left where he once stood, clouds of dust being swept over the wrecked surroundings. In an instant, Joe dropped down beside Fujita, taking a second to regain his composure.
Gubo followed after Isane as he made his move, his bright green eyes reflected the fearful expression he wore on his face. The only hope he had of living were these strange ninja that he decided to feed information to. His only hope he had of living was fighting. The large canine grunted, his nostrils flared, his ears twitched and his large brown eyes shifted between the two parties. Joe and Fujita. Gubo and Isane.
"All right..." Joe clenched his teeth, clapping his hands together and forming seals. "Watch my back, I'm going for dogface--!" He threw his body forward, moving straight at the canine-like monster, lunging straight at him and kicking his leg--
"Ah...wait...I remember you." The dog chuckled--
His foreleg burned a bright white, losing it's form, it's composition becoming a bolt of lightning that extended and lashed outward at the creature with a stroke of his leg--
"RAIKYAKU--!!"
"Idiot!" The beast ducked under the lightning, leaning in and extending it's claw, slicing into Joe's flak vest as he spun--
"Kuh--!"
"Protect Senpai!" A wave of SEKAI ninja poured into the streets. Dropping from the rooftops and slipping up the streets.
"Shit! What the fuck is he doing?!" Gubo fended off a ninja that took a wild swing at him with a kunai, plungingthe tantō that he had holstered at his side in the man's stomach and pushing him aside--
Hell broke from it's shackles.

Ooc: I'd apologize but I aint sorry >.> waiting don't hurt.
Inase just paused in shock seeing the spectacle of Joe's skills, fending off dozens of men who may have or not been shinobi. It was true a single shinobi could do so much against a crowd but, these were armed men and still most who were probably shinobi like Inase himself.
"...!?"
Watch his back? From what?
Then he took into realization that there were more and more ready to go at Joe to protect that canine faced jack ass, Inase looked to to the one named Gubo. "Stay behind us!"
Inase jerked his head to the side raising his arm against a shinobi who wielded a massive katana, on his arm his plated armor took form blocking against the sword but the weight of the man proved to create a crack against it. In his opposite hand he formed spikes along his knuckles striking the shinobi to the face.
"Alright, lets go then."
His wrist aimed out firing off a quick sharp pole of sorts, he stabbed it into the ground using it as a vault to kick down the large shinobi. He then moved on to cover Joe from others who were looking to attack his back, Inase would fend off and simply strike the canon fodder since he had nothing fancy to use just yet.

The setting was like those martial art films you could catch every now and again. Lesser disciples who could be replaced at the drop of a dime funneled into the streets creating a ruckus as they tried desperately to protect this "senpai." Though cliche, the boys needed a sharp eye if they were going to defy these rather unfair odds. Watching out for Joe again, he caught him mid spin-- a "guh" escaping his lips as the impact from catching him knocked the wind clean out of him, skating backwards a foot or so before he halted.
"He's pretty good, no?" referring to the canine who had just dodged a bullet.
Allowing Joe to gather himself from his previous attack, Fujita unknowingly had declared himself the official roadblock for his partner, guarding Joe's front while Inase and Gobu protected the rear. He hoped for their sakes that they could buy enough time, maybe form some time of plan instead of just brawling out in the middle of the street. Luckily straight up brawling was Fujita's forte.
I just need a body or two!
Adding a little omph to the muscles in his hands via Yô Gôkin Ki - Fujita side stepped a swift thrust from one of the ninja's blades- his flak vest receiving a tear from the close shave. His right fist erupted into the man's face with all of his might, sending him backwards. While the man lost his footing and received a loose tooth, he held up the ninja trying to rush forth. This was his plan, which in turn allowed Fujita to call out--
"--How we lookin'?!"

Joe slid across the ground after a quick clash with the large canine-like man that towered high above him. The monster's nose flared, Joe watched him, blood seeping from his flak vest and staining the green leather of his vest. His brow furrowed, this behemoth's strength and speed was just too much, even when they weren't battling, the monster had a overwhelming presence.
"--How we lookin'?!"
Joe's eyes glanced around him, they were in the epicenter of a ninja brawl with only three members--maybe four with Gobu on their squad. This gigantic monster ninja dog was too much for Joe alone to handle. They didn't get any groundbreaking information off of Gobu, who was trying his best to keep out of the fight, only to have more ninjas fall upon him.
"We're lookin' as good as we wanna' look--!!" Joe cried out, his eyes locked back upon the beast he managed to lock in battle, he remembered him from long ago, and the gods decided to smile down upon him by giving him a shot at this dog-faced bastard that wronged him long ago.
"Koooreeee~!!
[/i]" The man bellowed out, charging forward-- He appeared before the monstrous dog, delivering a flurry of punches to his torso-- "Daa--daa-daa-daaaaaa-- !!" The man roared, each blew grew more furious than the last, his arms became nothing but a blur of motion before it burned brightly-- The dog's kimono was scorched, his fur was singed at the end, yet he stood there, glaring down upon Joe who pounded away at gut with blow after blow, yet it seemed to be doing nothing. "You're failing, kid." The dog chuckled, lifting it's paw into the air and sending it crashing down into Joe's head, grasping it as he drove him downward into the ground-- The earth underneath them collapsed after quaking, splintering and cratering underneath Joe's head-- [/justify][/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]

He slammed the end of his staff into the face of one man and then twisting his body and letting his staff slam into the face of another. The two dropped in unison letting Inase catch a clear glimpse of the situation at hand. His eyes set down on Joe-san and Fujita, the situation needed to take a better turn then this.
"Shit..."
He smacked his hands together on the staff letting it shatter to multiple pieces, he pushed himself back into a starting position quickly creating plates over his body. His hands came together for a single seal, "Fujita-Kun, grab Joe-San!" Chakra began to push from his body and tenketsu as a sphere completed around his body.
"Tankudan!"
Inside the boulder sphere he was tethered to multiple straps of his liquid feeding his chakra through the holes. The sphere began to swiftly spin in place before taking off through the small crowd of Shinobi. His ultimate goal was to push off the ground and slam into the large dog like shinobi.

The ground rattled beneath his feet, Fujita's attention focusing on Joe for but a moment. Even after his impressive barrage, the canine seemed to be holding him back-- unharmed by such an attempt. With his attention focused on something other then the ninja rushing him, Fuji received a left hook- right in his kisser. The ninja cackled as he leaned into the punch~ Fujita snarled as blood flew from his nose-- his eyes tearing as he reached out, his right hand clenching the garments of the man.
With the swiftness he leaned backwards, the ninja's forward momentum only adding to his demise as Fujita hip tossed the man over his side - slamming the punk into the ground on his back.
"Fujita-Kun, grab Joe-San!"
Ready for take off thanks to his crouching position from dropping that ninja on his back, Fujita lunged toward Joe who was now held in the clutches of the beast, the ground buckling beneath the momentum of the strike. Appearing between both Joe and the scolded dog, his right hand shot upward, his fingers now laced around the brown fur of the beasts wrist. Applying standard pressure along with the added bonus from the Yô Gôkin Ki that had been previously activated had given Fujita an opening.
"Hajisaru Resu!"
Though the beast was rock hard and impervious to everything Joe had thrown at it, the standard pressure points held some effectiveness. At least enough to wiggle Joe from the beasts grasp if for only a second.
The beast lifted it's hind leg, effectively kicking Fujita away with a swift blow to his midsection, a clump of fur remaining clenched in Fujita's hand as his body skid against the ground. Doing what he could, Gobu came to Fujita's aid, fending off the few ninja who swung carelessly trying to cause a killing blow.
--Wiping a stream of blood across the palm of his already scraped up hand, Fujita begun stringing together handseals, while watching momentarily from the sidelines as Isane toppled through the masses, aiming for that gigantic beast in the mess.

"Nnph...!" The monster growled as Fujita managed to sneak Joe from his grip, he was surely about to squeeze the ninja's life away in mere moments. He would have just clenched his fist and--snap, like a twig in two, he would have broken Joe. But his chance had passed and something new caught his attention--
The cries of his men being mowed down and the rumbling of the large boulder that paved over them with relative ease, smashing them into the ground and tossing them in different directions, he witnessed it all from over his shoulder, watching as the sphere came straight for him while picking up speed--
His nose wrinkled--
He turned--
Heels slid across the dusty trail--
He spread his arms outward--
The boulder crashed into him, braced for impact he slid backward--
"Hnn--" Joe grunted, it felt like he ran full speed into a immovable wall, his whole body hurt in the worst way. "Shouldn't've pulled me from the fight..." He huffed, he was responsible for his team, he couldn't be reckless. Biting down on his teeth, it pained him to do so, but he stood up on his own two--
The beast's clothing was ripped and torn from his body, revealing his full mane--
His muscles bulged, and with one strong effort, he hurled the ball straight upward--
"Make a hole--! We're pulling out!!" He pointed toward the least populated side of the street, the South end, away from the cliffside. At this point, getting the information and informant was more important than his vendetta, his cold-blooded vengeance that he was clearly failing on capitalizing on. He clearly was getting his ass whooped against this monster. He looked up at the boulder that hung in midair, hoping that Inase could pull out of his Tankudan technique.

He could feel it
He wasn't on the ground, he impacted the guy and he could feel it through the shell, but shit he had been thrown sky high. His thoughts were racing through his mind, he had to find an escape. He could crash and hope the Tankudan would provide enough armor to cushion the impact, though it was just as likely that the shock wave would break some bones.
"...."
He shattered the material that tethered to his body and punched a hole open through the top and pulled himself up. He shot a staff from his wrists and was able to jam it into a building easily to hold himself up. The rest of his boulder shell smacked the ground and shattered into hundreds of pieces that would turn to dust. He himself slid easily down the building landing on the ground easily. His heart was still racing but not at the fear of death, the excitement of combat had hit him.
"Should we go after them?!"

"Stay close" whispered Fujita to Gobu. With Joe-san giving the go ahead, it was all he needed to get the ball rolling. Finishing his In, his bloodied palm slammed against the chalky ground.
Kuchiyose no Jutsu!
A Sabashi, of the badger family was summoned to the battlefield, the beast listening closely for Fujita's command while feeling the ninja around him as their steps trampled forth. They needed an exit, and Sabashi would provide such a thing -- it's raw power would smash through anything in it's path, crushing all in it's wake like a tank.
"Head toward the south-- make a clear path Sabashi."
Utilizing the Ro-ru Hari Tanku, Sabashi curled into a tight ball, spreading its steel like quills from it's back - they sharpened. Powering it's way forth while spinning at a remarkable pace, their attempt at freedom had begun. Its hardened skin along with the hundreds of sword like quills covering its body would protect it from any projectiles. The stage was set, and the stars of the show needed to make their anticipated finish, for their lives were in the balance.
"Let's go!"
Hoping Joe and Inase were capable of keeping up, he'd carry both if he had to. Just thinking of that idea made his back cringe in pain as if it already could feel the after effects of something so foolish.
