_____________________________________________________________________ | Kamui was certainly an interesting team mate. But Shinda was not going to look a gift horse in the mouth as he continued up the path. At least when he inevitably fell off, he could already imagine Shumatsu cackling, he wouldn't splatter on the ground. Boulder going right was called up over him and Shinda scowled. This was not going well already, and dodging while climbing was harder then anticipated. Shinda didn't have much prepared in way of dealing with falling large objects and any delay like this was going to slow them down more and more. They needed a better plan. But he would have to figure something out about this boulder before that. Neither of his teammates seemed prepared or keen on throwing themselves at it. "I've got this one." Reaching out to the rope the long haired shinobi wrapped it around his waste to support himself and lean back enough to aim his bow at the incoming rock. Shinda drew back his bow string, with nothing on it and released it. A burst of wind shot from the bow impacting the boulder, while it did next to zero noticeable damage, the boulder rotated slightly and flew back some missing the group and hurtling the rest of the way down the cliff side. Shinda took a steadying breath and readjusted his position on the cliff. A voice from below had him glancing back at Kamui, the other suggested he add some impact to his arrows, and while Shinda was a little embarrassed not being prepared, he nodded seriously before handing back his quiver. He would have to prep better next time. While the wind release was certainly doable for him, he wasn't exactly at the point where he could use it frequently in any situation. He made a mental note to focus on that in training in his free moments. The team work was good though, it meant that they would be able to fill in lacking gaps. Maybe his brother intended this with this exercise...or maybe he was just being lazy and taking a nap at the top of the cliff or something. They continued their climb up to the top, and maybe Shinda was feeling a little confident. This team thing might be good for both himself and Shu. "Rei let us know if you hear anything. There can't be that many boulders nearby it's going to be noisy if he needs to get more...or maybe he won't and it will be an easier climb." Or maybe he would throw a tree...Shinda banished the thought from his head or tried too. Shumatsu was kind of a dick... |
