<strong>Mibu Tashi</strong>(http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=341536)<br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq84/anman93/EvilAnime3.png)</div><strong>Location:</strong>Border of Fire and River country, party's camp<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>Chiyo (puppet), Hitomi, Marise<br/><hr/><br/>Tashi felt more and less humiliated on the situation; beaten up by a puppet no less. But he had successfully got others escape as he bought them time to move and act. He had hoped Marise would had escaped as well but it seems she had stayed....fought and got beaten as well.<br/><br/><em>Damn, it seems this woman is not pushover even if you get close to her. Able defeat practitioner of gentle fist style. A user of potent bloodline.</em><br/><br/>Although details did woman beat Marise in honest hand to hand combat or through trickery did not matter, as Tashi is no better than Marise in that regard and may be even be less better to extend considering the style is stronger than his present swordsman skills are. More so Tashi did spend quite a lot chakra but not all of it. Considering the woman also included the mercenary in being 'free to go' indicated she considers all of them hostages?!<br/><br/><em>Perhaps I can later turn loyalties of the mercenary around against this woman....as she seems to be no one's friend in the group.</em><br/><br/>But considering they remain hostages long as woman's mission lasts Tashi sighs and says; "Seems we are stuck stalemate in here, you got no info where Aimi went on paper you found but it gave enough hints that we do know where she went. But if you do not get info you keep us hostages long as it takes to continue your task.<br/><br/>We met Aimi yesterday and while she enjoyed comforts of campfire with us we did talk a bit about past events in my village, Tanigakure. There had been infiltrator in there who had purposefully got caught by minor crime and who was far above in skill what it initially appeared. A strong suspicion man was hired by Suna albeit I disagree on that notion and so did Aimi. A older man with mismatched eyes, smooth talking bastard who was associate of Ami's instructor in the past in Suna. A man called Shirō."<br/><br/>Tashi observed the woman's reactions carefully and seeing the glimpse of recognition on the name Tashi added; "So, considering your holding kunai's on other peoples throats is common trait I take it your Chiyo, Aimi's instructor correct? Well, she had disappeared from the camp during the night and so I have no info where she went unless she wrote it on paper and you thought we know more. But what it sounded last night she was very concerned that Tanigakure and Suna will be going on war because a mercenary shinobi's actions and so she may had gone after Shirō by herself to capture him alive and force make him confess that Suna had nothing to do with Tanigakure incident."<br/><br/>Then Tashi recalls something odd last night talk with Aimi, something which he missed because he was tired from activities before with Aimi;<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=123461.msg9605596#msg9605596">Quote from: Inerrant Lust on 17-02-2014, 00:02:38</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"But he's <em>not</em> working for Suna." She said firmly, "He can't be. My broth- the Kazekage wouldn't do that. He wouldn't want to start a war."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Gear wheels inside Tashi's head clicked and he then laughed and said; "Oh my, I had got quite tired last night as I missed that she almost said out loud that Kazekage is her<em>brother</em>. So no wonder your hot in her heels." However it made Tashi further ponder on why she had left the village in first place then if she was sister of Kazekage. She is important figure by her lineage alone. But why now? Unless....<br/><br/>Tashi then frowns and adds; "I guess your not just seeking her for her lineage....as it sounded she had been missing nin for sometime now and you would had send someone already after her earlier. But timing wise your searching her for a bloodline jutsu which will be useful in combat. That Suna is planning a attack doesn't it not? While she has no desire to use said jutsu? That's the reason why you want us hostages, as she would not be willing return to village otherwise and ready use her jutsu against your enemies."
