"Gah!" Cronic blurted out, diving to the opposite side of the building to avoid the oncoming Kunai.
"Now that's just not fair at all. Note to self, next time I lose an arm, replace the weaponry within with a rifle or something." Cronic thought to himself, as he began pondering how the Takasugi lookalike spotted him.
"Cybernetic augmentation? Possible, but expensive and hard to find. Trained senses are another possibility, but he'd probably need to be a lot older for that. Which simply leaves Genetic modification. For the right fee, someone could mess around with his DNA to make him stronger in many ways, but also change his appearance too... Which would explain why he resembles Takasugi Shinsuke." Cronic thought to himself, before taking out the phone from earlier and speed-dialled Hijikata.
"We've got a problem. Seems one of the opposition has undergone genetic modification. He just spotted me from range with his eyesight alone. The most curious thing about the guy, however, is he resembles Takasugi Shinsuke... Except with white hair. Proceed with caution. If his sense of sight is augmented, it stands to reason his other senses, along with physical traits, have been augmented as well."
