Time itself seemed to have come to a standstill for Ryouta, the anticipation of the shinobi's response would decide whether he was able to live his current life, leave and be put in the arms of another village or if this occurrence would prove to be the end of his particularly short life. The sound from behind him however only elicited a sense of fear to grasp at his being from the inside, gripping his chest as it weighed down on him heavily. The golden haired Genin swallowed the saliva caught in his throat rather nervously, sweat running across the right side of his face as it trailed down to his chin before breaking apart and falling into the child's lap.

"Damned idiot" Ryouta thought as he had hoped to end the conflict though his chances would seemingly appear to dwindle at quite the rapid pace, heart pounding as he feared the conflict would only escalate due to the moronic decisions of a Genin, though perhaps he was under orders of a nearby observer. Though Ryouta concluded that the Genin was acting of his own will and idiotically attempted to grab at an opportunity of fame and possible fortune, thus he shook his head in disappointment. In spite of this, the casing of the sand shinobi fell to the floor and decided to approach him, with an abrupt reveal of his opponent's visage, instinctively burning the image into his mind.

"Awesome" the child cheered mentally as he gazed down at the rather peculiar mask, though he seemed overjoyed as he knew it was a sign of commendation and a reward for his efforts and his audacious behaviour. The distraction of the mask almost kept the Genin from hearing what the words his opposition had to offer, though he wouldn't let his short attention span from hearing  what such a commendable person had to say.

"Power inside?" a multitude of questions filled the mind of Ryouta, though this was the most significant, he knew of the power within himself but the other shinobi held something similar and it had him curious. Perhaps the shinobi had a unique Kekkei Genkai of his own or contained something within himself as well. With the unexpected appearance of the ANBU, their words answered the query, a jinchuuriki, tales of the shinobi with the 9 of the strongest beasts sealed within them.

"Whoa" he spoke aloud in surprise with a gaping mouth opened at the sudden discovery, words were shouted from the side however, an all too familiar voice, grumbling as the momentary sense of intensity and surpsise was brought to ruin. He grabbed the mask by the front of it, arising to his feet and standing upright to greet the ridiculous Jounin.

"Haruka-sensei" a slight bleak, discontent and monotonous tone uttered at the female's appearance until he's congratulated with a hug. Her comment then had brushed aside his prior suspicion and he knew, that the decision of the other Genin was an order given by Haruka, but knowing the Jounin, her reasoning probably consisted of worry of his own wellbeing, thus despite the irrationality of it all, Ryouta knew Haruka held the right intention. Blinking, the Genin gazed out at the approaching crowd who seemed pleasantly surprised  at the shinobi of Sunagakure of leaving and their overjoyous expressions spoke how thankful they were of his assistance and it filled Ryouta's being with a sense of genuine appreciation for the safety of his village, now remarking the event as inspiration for future efforts to better himself.
