As the team began to run off from the children things seemed to take a turn for the worst. From all angles around them children with glowing red eyes began to appear, chanting "ONE OF US" over and over again. It was unsettling and he felt as if part of his heart broke, would they have to do what he wished they would never have to do? He drew his tanto the whole way out, holding it so that the blade ran along the length of his forearm. It was a unique way to hold a blade, not many people would do it as it limits the length of the blade but Takahiro preferred it due to the surprise it could give. Thankfully, as he mentally preparing himself to commit what he considered atrocities Ranta piped up, letting the team know that all but the original three were just clones. This settled his uneasy heart, he wouldn't have to kill the children, they could go on their way.

He looked over his shoulder in time to witness something horrific. Ranta's clone disposed of the three original children with cold efficency. The sight of it ... The sight of it was traumatic to a degree. Takahiro was only 13 and he'd already witnessed some twisted things, things that would change Takahiro in ways that could never be undone. He didn't know how to feel about Ranta right now, one one hand he understood why he had done what he done, but on the other hand ... on the other hand he felt disgusted in a way. ''Things need to change. The world needs peace.'' Takahiro's nindo was forming infront of his very eyes, a desire to bring peace across all lands in order to bring a stop to the atrocities witnessed today.

It was now that an explosion rocked the forest but it appeared Ranta's clone was already on its way to investigate. Takahiro was curious, but right now they had a mission to complete; the retrieval of the Kage's daughter. He frowned and continued running along with the rest of his squad, following in formation. Naraku who had previously fallen over and hadn't really done to much so far, most of the work had been done by Ranta, Shinra and Takahiro himself, Naraku had yet to show his stuff. The young Uchiha frowned as he looked over to his teammate, unsure of how he felt about how Naraku still followed Ranta's every order like it was some sort of Gospel. ''Does he support Ranta's actions? Where does he stand? Do our morals conflict? ''There were so many questions. Takahiro just wanted this night to end, he wanted to curl up in bed and forget what he'd seen.
