The topic at hand seemed to put the men more ill at ease than it did to ingratiate himself to the group. His words were a dagger at the heart of the matter; the Seven were a team of elite ninja, who, on the surface, acted as one hand and one mind. In reality, he could tell that there was tension between them. The new members killed the old to earn their swords, and no doubt Saizō, in his long tenure, had lost many friends over the years to this harsh ritual.<br/><br/>As he and Kohaku departed, he could feel a hellish glare upon him. Through those dark glasses, Saizō was judging him hard. Such things were better left unsaid, he felt... When the young shinobi left their presence, the older ninja lifted his head up to Rokurō, "We're done here." He said, slowly walking out of the courtyard. It left the cleaver swordsman with a look of annoyance.<br/><br/>Kohaku scratched his head as they walked, "Oh, okay, so are you... like, totally clueless? Or are you just<em> playing</em>dumb?" He put his hands up over his head and folded them against the back of his neck, closing his eyes. He smiled, revealing his own sharpened teeth, "I don't believe anyone's ever called Masters Kyuuri and Momochi<em>nice.</em>"<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"What can I say?" The woman's voice echoed through the air, chuckling slightly at the end, "I'm shy."<br/><br/>Natsumi stared at Kaede in horror, not pleased at the prospect of the two kunoichi fighting it out here... they already destroyed a sacred gateway to the world of spirits... and she didn't know how much more havoc they could wreak if they went all out. The raven-haired woman looked all around her, and seemed uneasy just being beside Kaede at that moment. She didn't want to get involved at all...<br/><br/>"You've got spunk and you're strong enough..." She said tauntingly, "I'll give you that much- but you shouldn't underestimate a ninja of Iwagakure."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Standard: ?<br/>Move: ?<br/><br/>Testura: -71 HP, -58 Chakra, -20 Reserve.</div></div>
