Ieyasu's paranoia and fear was correct, as he attempted to grab Tsuneo the earth trembled and roared at the awful power to which the purple-eyed villain held. Instantaneously they were blown back, windows shattered and even the walls around became bent and distorted. They weren't prepared for this kind of thing, and Ieyasu didn't have the reaction speed necessary to even try to use one of his clan techniques to cushion himself.

Just the force of the initial impact was enough to take away Ieyasu's breath.

It was horrifying, as Ieyasu careened straight into the side of a building. Foolishly he attempted to stop his flying by holding an arm out to where he'd land but the force was such that automatically his wrist was sprained, his forearm's bones fracturing and his elbow bending back so far that a sickening pop could be heard. The rest of Ieyasu made contact afterward, his nose breaking the process given he had been facing the building in his vain landing.

Like a rock thrown at a wall, he just seemed to bounce off and roll back onto the street. Everything went black for a second before an urgent thought came to mind while his body began to kick into action.

'Survive.'

Tsuneo was throwing some strange tantrum while Ieyasu got up and began to sprint down the street. His adrenaline was running high, he didn't even know the severity of the damage done to his arm; it was almost like shock. Ieyasu grabbed his broken left arm and howled through the pain, forcing himself to make the Tiger seal before ultimately dropping back the left arm and beginning to take off at blurring speeds. He kept to the streets as he body flickered before leaping over the gate he had come through originally and running straight out of Ame.

At this point he was just trying to leave, not putting any forethought into his plans as he knew he just needed to leave. The warning in the first place had been more than enough. He didn't even know if Tsuneo or Ranta were dead or alive, he just kept running until Ame was far behind him and even then he just simply cancelled the body flicker and continued onward.

Ieyasu wouldn't stop until he knew he was back in the Fire and back at the village where he could be treated. The mission was a complete success due to the heroics of Ranta, but for all Ieyasu knew at the time he and Tsuneo might have died back there... these past few years had already been dangerous in their own right but with what Ieyasu saw it seemed like things would only get worse from here on out.
