Kegawa and Hairomaru did their best to keep pace with Akigo, but his chakra contoll and speed were better, and that aside the two of them had more stamina than anything. They caught up a few moments after the other two stopped, though slightly less winded. Kegawa immediately took the chance to channel chakra to his nose and scan the area. Immediately he felt the hair on the back of his neck stand up just as Haiiromaru's own hackles raised.<br/><br/>"Oi, Taichou... I<em>think</em>I smell blood out there, but there's a lot of residual chakra fouling the smell up... Haiiromaru can't tell for sure either. Out to the north-northwest, maybe another three klicks away... Do we move out or what?" He instinctively kept his hands curled into claws as he looked quickly to their leader with concern.
