So they continued on their adventure unhindered, Ieyasu wondered along the way just how challenging this would be as they continued onward. He slowed down after some time, growing temporarily wearisome from running so much. Around the 31/2 mile mark, his concern grew wondering whether or not they'd catch up to the escaping ninja. They had nothing to track the mysterious individual, much less sense them and be aware. For the time being though, it appeared as if luck was on their side.

"Both of you stay close to me..."

When they neared the tree the monk stood atop, he descended and made his presence known to the three of them. Ieyasu brought his right fist up momentarily, signalling them to stop. The monk appeared very peaceful, certainly strange regarding his business but it was a well-known fact that all shinobi were deceptive to some degree.

Afterward he began to start chanting some mantra, and Ieyasu immediately recognized a possible danger. Genjutsu, or even worse something that Ieyasu didn't know of. He had remained quiet during the initial moment of the encounter but he had to step into action now. He couldn't take any chances of them being harmed in some way, he didn't care of this villain's lifestyle.

During the mantra, Ieyasu quickly took out one of his kunai and sent it flying straight towards the monk's head while his hands were clasped in prayer and faith of good will. The power behind the throw if unhindered would easily be enough to go straight into the monk's forehead. If it were caught however, Ieyasu would begin to move closer.

"Yield and give us Kinshi Senju, or I will kill you."

Ieyasu's brow furrowed, he looked dead on towards the monk with an expression that told of malice. The battle was about to begin, who was this mysterious monk and would he rather fight than surrender?
