Listen & Read Ieyasu was so close, Water was just beyond his fingertips but before he could even reach he was hit by a barrage of things to hold him in place. First was the Yamanaka and her jutsu, Ieyasu stumbled for a second and straightened up, but he was no longer in control. He could see, he could hear; he just couldn't control his body any longer. Then Kai grabbed at his arm and held him back even further while Ares' Chain also tied him further down. It all gave him a front row seat to watch Water's execution, the one thing he had been willing to die in order to prevent.

Every inch of Ieyasu was outraged, every fiber of his being was filling up with desperate anger towards everything around him. Actions like these, you can't just take these things back like you can with words. What transpired here was something that Ieyasu would never forget.

On account of his current emotions, there should've been absolutely no reason that Inari could have maintained the body switch up to this point. There had never been a point up until now that he felt so strongly. It was like hot fire coursing through his blood, the anger, the sadness; the shock of seeing Water's head come flying clean off.

"Get out! Get out! Get out!"

Ieyasu screamed in his head trying to push out the influence. If it finally let up, he would immediately let out a howling scream of agony and despair.

"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME! NOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW!"

He'd tear his arm away from Kai, and if Ares held on or anyone tried to even approach him his hands would become coated in chakra. The Bear Claw Technique, a simple yet fatal jutsu that made Ieyasu a whirlwind of death whenever he chose to fight seriously. Would he seriously attack his fellow squadmates if they tried to agg him on? Even he didn't know that, but perhaps it was best not to find out. As far as he knew, these people had no sense of decency or mutual-respect. Not a shred of it, they were ruining everything around Ieyasu, tearing down his world. These people were just... monsters.

If he was given his due space however, Ieyasu would just stand there shaking at what he just saw. He had seen blood, he had seen people torn to bits, but this was the first time he saw death itself. Ieyasu wasn't prepared for this, none of this should have gotten as out of hand as it did. It was because of the constant mistakes of the people around him up to this point that led to these misfortunes.

Quickly, he dropped to the ground and start tearing at the earth beneath him with his bare hands. Intervals every now and then where he'd switch to pounding the ground, to pulling at his hair, and then back to the ground. He just saw someone die, Ieyasu just felt like he couldn't fight right now. As much as he wanted to, as every thought was being devoted to seeing the people behind him suffer; he just simply couldn't bring himself to do it. He couldn't even understand the feeling himself.

Over time, Ieyasu would lose the energy and succumb to pure melancholy not having anything to act this all out on. He'd slowly pick himself up and walk over to Water's headless body, picking it up. It was so heavy, like the corpse itself had the weight of a boulder. Ieyasu just wanted to give up and die here with Water, but as much as Ieyasu wanted to do that there was a sense of emotional anger that drove him to just try to move on. He wouldn't walk too close to the Pyre, keeping his distance before slowly easing the body onto the ground. He couldn't look up right now, looking at the people around him was too much right now.

"We... we've got to bury him," Ieyasu's voice trembled with each word, "this shouldn't have happened."

Ieyasu's fists tightened at his last words, but for now he could only cry.
