At his side stood a trusted guard who had been informed of the situation at hand, along with the necessary protocol. The Tsuchikage simply placed a hand atop the soldier's shoulder, a signal that sent his trusted accomplice from the overlook onto the battlefield. Whether he was detected or not was a non-issue, the offender was in well over his head. Zeal, particularly that of youth, was a double-edged sword which, if handled incorrectly, cut indiscriminately. This would be their assailant's deathblow, a notion the Tsuchikage found very unfortunate. He couldn't help but feel that if they met under different circumstances, he might have enjoyed his company. The Earth Shadow's guard would circumvent the skirmish entirely to take a position posterior to the assailant's own, arming himself with a kunai along the way. His eyes never left the battle however. He was stringently instructed by his commanding officer to not let his prudence waver. Their target was young but resourceful, and experienced beyond his years, making any mistake more costly than it was worth. "Another child caught up in the allure of combat," the Shadow murmured while leisurely shifting through hand seals. "To see such promise wasted, our world will never forgive us." 1. _______ |
