<strong>Mibu Tashi</strong>(http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=514288)<br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq84/anman93/EvilAnime3.png)</div><strong>Location:</strong>Border of Fire and Suna country, heading to Amegakure<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>Marise, Hitomi<br/><hr/><br/>As the enemy spoke their threats and their genin prepared fire off flare, Tashi's body densed and hand took more firmer grasp on handle of his sword and he said; "Unless your flares move quicker than my mastered battoujutsu, your comrades do not see the flare flash at all." It was not bluff, Tashi would very likely capable to slice one or several flares into half before they get higher than ten foot off the ground. The entire quiet confidence of his threat and attitude continued carry on his eyes and stance as he held himself ready to interupt flare's flight on midway.<br/><br/>Tashi continues; "Only insurance is that it's<em>certain</em>we kill you when you kill our hostage. Also we will not be backing off even if one your flares reaches to the sky but then we will kill you than try non-lethal techniques to delay us anyway. Also you likely kill hostage instant it goes to hostilities and it will do when you fire off that flare, even if you<em>attempt</em>send flare out. As it would be foolish for us stand here and wait reinforcements to arrive. Also if you release the hostage, it would not be wise for rescuers to fight and risk our hostage getting killed in the conflict if we decide attack you after you released the hostage would it? Also obviously hostage life is priority now for us than just kill you.<br/><br/>Also you got greater chance of success in giving us hostage, use flare after we are gone and then send pursuers after us and then it's far more likely you walk away alive and got second chance to recapture the prisoners and get to kill or capture us with reinforcements. As entire rescue operation was unexpected plan from us so we are not optimized for it as our mission profile. So we are the ones who have taken greater risk in you giving us the hostage than you releasing it than us just simply ignore prisoner and kill you quickly.....after all we are in your home turf and you got all advantages in pursuing us." Again it was not bluff, but honest truth on the matter. Even if the group gives genin away, they are still strong position to launch alarm and get entire village after them no time. It would come down to sheer amount of speed and navigation and they got homefield advantage. Tashi is trying the leader to see the tactical advantage in letting prisoner go, let rescuers run off with it and thus spare squad from further casualties and quickly raise alarm to get prisoners back and pursue them.<br/><br/>As they got no proof whatsoever how sneaky or fast their supposed killers are....not to mention the said killers are slowed down by two genin who unlikely are nowhere as fast as them. So they can take risk and make easy gambit which favors saving lives and allows chance to redeem themselves. So all around sensible choice. Also Tashi holds ready a stance which is meant to interupt the flare send off.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Tashi holds readied action to perform technique; <em>shiden</em>. It is in short super fast move, attack and return to original spot. A sort movement which renders all targets automatically flat-footed vs it first time it's used and with his great cleave stance he can slice off any flares which are fired off in 10'ft from each other (moving to spot where he can cleave ideally during the super speed). Anycase Tashi tries use words influence the chuunin leader see merit in releasing prisoner by giving them good tip or plan what to do once prisoner is released and rescuers have run off with the genin.</div></div>
