The old crone had been deadly serious, she wanted this man alive or dead. Though preferably alive so she could take pleasure in bringing about his death. Sighing, he continued his walk, she had said he would be in one of the taller buildings near the cleft leading in and out of the village. Apparently he was the captain of the Sunagakure Anbu, not that all these ranks and positions mattered or meant much to Daichi. He had never joined a village, he knew very little of their hierarchies. As he walked, people gave him strange looks and generally steered out of his way. He assumed his manner of dress was not exactly the usual. His traveling meant that the majority of his time was spent out of settled areas, as far from humans as he could be. It was unavoidable, however, that he enter the odd village now and again. His search for his son demanded it, and on this occasion, his search for something else. The Saduzow clan's library had once been famed all over the Wind Country - maybe even beyond. He had to find out if any of it had been spared. He doubted any looters had found their way there. The compound had been far off in the middle of the desert, well-hidden. His aunt had told him that the more important buildings were underground, with anything appearing overground being symbolic rather than hosting anything truly important. That meant that there was hope yet of finding out some of the clan's history, more on the Fusiongun... All he had to do was find this man. It was nothing personal, if anything, Daichi owed the man something of debt for ridding this world of that crone's children. But Daichi needed in the information, and this man would be the price. He kept his eyes peeled for tall buildings as he got closer to the cleft. 'Leaving so soon?' Daichi stopped as a figure appeared before him and he sensed the two who had been watching him as they appeared on either side of him, 'why don't you come along with us instead, eh?' Had they discovered his plan? Perhaps that old crone had set this all up to get him captured - he did not think she would not do it. [color=darkred][i][b]'I have no purpose with you, you have no right to take me anywhere. I go where I please, as I please,'[/b][/i][/color] Daichi's right hand rested as casually as it could on Sunaarashi's hilt, sheathed on his left hip. 'You are in our village, under our law. You must obey. We do not wish to use force,' the shinobi watched the black-clade figure, 'you are far out-numbered, and even if you were to defeat us, you will never get out alive,' considering this for a few seconds, Daichi released his grip on his sword hilt. There was no point in resisting. If they refused to release him, he would just have to find out for himself whether he could get out alive or not. [color=darkred][i][b]'Very well, I will go with you, but I will not stay for longer than I must. I have important things to be doing,'[/b][/i][/color] with that the two shinobi on either side approached him. He was not entirely aware of what they were planning until both of them gripped him and forced his hands behind him. Daichi struggled furiously, but one of them alone had more strength than he and they got the cuffs around his wrists. He immediately felt himself grow weak. 'Heh, good aren't they? Imbued with a chakra suppressing jutsu,' the one to his right said, 'my own idea. Kanzo-sama appreciates suggestions on improving our Anbu's base lethality, and these just do,' Daichi gave him a venomous look. [color=darkred][i][b]'I am not interested in your life story, imbecile,'[/b][/i][/color] he snapped. Had he said Kanzo? Was that not... 'Come, Kanzo-sama will be waiting,' with that they began walking their prisoner forth in the same direction he had been headed. It took no more than a few minutes before they found themselves entering a rather tall building. Daichi could not help but smile - well, they had certainly made getting in easier for him. 'Kanzo-sama, we have captured the target,' the leading shinobi stood still as the red-haired man looked up. Daichi surveyed him, this was the man the old crone wanted. He allowed his eyes to drift over the large room. Other than the three shinobi, Kanzo and himself, there was no one else present. 'So you have come, He of the Wings,' the man behind the desk stood up, a small satisfied smile playing about his lips. [color=darkred][i][b]'I hardly came willingly. Your men found it more fitting to slap their devices onto men and march me here like some mountain-lion prize,'[/b][/i][/color] Daichi's voice was cutting as he could make it. He certainly had no need to be respectful when no respect had been shown him. 'Ah, I do apologise for that. I did tell them to do anything in their power to bring you here,' Kanzo's smile grew. [color=darkred][i][b]'They could have tried the art of persuasion rather than stopping me in the middle of the road and demanding I go with them,'[/b][/i][/color] Daichi was clearly in an irritable mood, he wanted the cuffs off immediately and he made that rather clear by attempting to pull his hands out. 'I don't think those cuffs will be necessary now, if you would sit down, take that mask off, and hear me out,' Kanzo's eyes bored into the masked face. [color=darkred][i][b]'I may be more willing to hear you out when they are gone, yes,'[/b][/i][/color] cam Daichi's response. Kanzo signaled for them to take them off and Daichi stepped forward. Removing his sword from the belt, he sat down in the one seat across from Kanzo before taking his mask off - ensuring his hood was still up so those behind could see nothing of him. 'You certainly haven't changed much since last we met,' Kanzo sat down and put his elbows on the table, fingers interlinked under his chin. [color=darkred][i][b]'If you say so,'[/b][/i][/color] came Daichi's short response. 'I have an offer for you,' Daichi raised an eyebrow at this, 'join us. You will be honoured and of high rank among us, Sunagakure will gain much by your settling with us, and you will undoubtedly gain more,' Daichi's raised eyebrow rose even higher and a small smile crept across his face. [color=darkred][i][b]'Join you?'[/b][/i][/color] he laughed, that was quite a development, [color=darkred][i][b]'honour and position? Not that I care much for any of that, but if you brought one who you would honour before you in chains, what does that say, hmm?'[/b][/i][/color] Kanzo frowned, Daichi was clearly not giving his proposition any thought at all. [color=darkred][i][b]'And I have more important things to be doing. Finding my son...finding the compound,'[/b][/i][/color] he paused and looked at Kanzo for a few seconds, [color=darkred][i][b]'and for that, I require that [u]you[/u] come with [u]me[/u].'[/b][/i][/color] With that, Daichi jumped up at speed and drew Sunaarashi, slashing at his red-haired target's chest. The shinobi behind him stood frozen in shock.
