As soon as the kid screamed, the cave rumbled as what seemed to hundreds of others began to pour in from nooks and crevices overlooked and unturned poised and ready. Ren personally cringed with the kid when Ayame punched him, he didn't like to do this sort of thing but if these kids were standing in the way of justice they had to be dealt with. Ayame had already turned around and was trying to already take on the horde.

There was little time to think, and through normal means they couldn't take on all of these other kids. Ren moved his left hand away while bringing his right out from behind the kid's head before moving it across his neck. He did this all in one fluid movement while he reached into his pocket to grab a kunai. It would still be a good grip and keep the blond in place before Ren brought the dagger and stuck it right near the kid's threat.

"SETTLE DOWN!"

Ren commanded aloud before the fighting began, drawing attention to himself and the hostage he now had. Any sickening feeling he would've had about putting a knife against the kid's throat was removed and replaced with something more akin to panic and apprehension at the immediate situation.

"Settle down, or... or I'll stick him!"

Ren paused bringing his gaze across the crowd. If anyone even inched closer he'd make a light and superficial cut on the boy's shoulder. Something he could easily heal using his medical jutsu afterward, but something the others didn't know and help serve to warn them against trying anything foolish. Ren wasn't very clever or anything, he was just backed into a corner and making what he could of it. Ayame was the one who needed to be the diplomat here, even if she wasn't the most negotiable type of person.
