"You gotta do what you gotta do I guess" Shingetsu said when Ayane excused herself and went to the "bathroom" although he never understood the gesture to apologized to other people when you need to...release yourself. The young Kiri ninja was scouting out the area with his eyes when he suddenly felt something changing in the air, and the next moment 3 people were walking out of those bushes where Ayane has gone behind for a quick while ago.
Everything happened so fast, when the big mysterious strange snapped the little neck of Ayane. Shingetsu could feel how his anger was taking over his mind completely. Although he barely know the Sunagakure kunoichi, she was a member of his team. And he just failed to protect one of his teammates. "Dammit woman!" Shingetsu shouted when Haruhi charged right into the fray. He has to act fast, in a matte of a second Shingetsu appeared in front of the big strange that just threw Haruhi on the ground. "One step closer, and I will kill you" That was a statement more than a threat. "Oh? And who is going to stop me? You? I fucking hate ninjas. Especially the kinds like you!" The big stranger delivered a hay maker as he screamed at Shingetsus head. As he struck the young ninja the stranger expected to hit the flesh, bone and blood. But all he struck was...water. It made a big splash like when you hit water right on. "Heh...nice punch." Shingetsu smiled as his head merged back to the physical form. "What the hell are you?" The big man exclaimed and looked at Shingetsu with suspicious eyes. "I'm a member of the Houzuki clan! The most powerful clan in Kirigakure no Sato! Remember that you trash!" The young Houzuki answered with a fierce voice as he grabbed his sword hilt and swung an overhand swing at the big man. The sword sung an angry song in the air but struck nothing but the ground as the big strange managed to avoid the attack in the last second by jumping backward.
