Shinra, with the old manon his back, listened to what the remainder of the team was planning despite their injuries. It hurt his scar to consider suggesting this, but he swallowed his pride, and with shrunken irises in a sign of how serious he was, shouted out at them. "You guys are being a bunch of morons!"

He looked to Ieyasu and O, "Yes The Rise deserve to pay for this and what they have already done! But we are not in any condition to move on! If we go in as we are now we are going to die!" He looked at Mushiki, "You can barely stand at all." He then addressed Ieyasu directly, "And you want to be like Keldran, but you can't if you are going to throw your life away by rushing in without a plan."

He took in a deep breath and heaved it outwards, "I know that I messed up, I can't change that. But we can change if we are going to live or die.  I think going back for now would be the best course of action so that we can get rested up.  ANd those tools the bandits used and some of the techniques.  Normal bandits shouldn't have access to techniques like that, nor should they have Fuma Shuriken!  Those are tools that shinobi and kunoichi use alone.  How did they get them?"

Shinra was putting forth a logical arguement, looking at their tools and techniques, there was more to them than just bandits. "We need to go back and report this.  They are better equipped than thought and have access to ninjutsu.  They need to be investigated thoroughly before we make an attempt on them.  Who knows how many are left in their numbers at this point for that matter?"

"Do you want to just go die? None of us are Keldran, and we need to stop trying to emulate him!  He's a hero but he is who he is. I'm going home and I'm going to study and make a plan so this doesn't happen again." Shinra turned around, and started walking away with the old man on his back, the scar over his right eye screaming at him to continue the mission, but his mind saying this was the right thing to do.
