Ieyasu sighed at the things Shinra and Mushi both said. He even laughed a little despite his mood, turning around to face them.

"I don't think any of us sustained any serious injuries from the bandits themselves. I certainly didn't. As far as I know, Mushi was hurt by the explosion and the old man died by it, before we were doing fine. Even then, if you think just that was too much: I'm scared for you."

"A couple of years ago... me and most of the people from my graduating class were sent on a high-ranking mission. Probably A or S. We were split into four groups I think, Ari Junrei was our squad leader. Keldran Fūma, Lil B, Ded Lee, and I made up the rest of the team. We were all pretty weak at the time, but when we were told to go on that mission we simply did it. At the end, Keldran was half-dead, B's leg was broken, Ded was almost like his name, and I almost got stomped by a monster. We still lived through it though, because we acted like a team."

"We're all pretty strong, even if Mushi is heading back. I guess... if you just trust me, I'll make sure nothing happens to you. Just keep a level head if you can, I know how it sounds coming from me right now... but if four shitty genin could blow through that imagine how easily we could just knock this shit down."

Ieyasu didn't have any other words to offer, knowing full and well that the way he sounded right now probably wasn't very inspiring at all. He just kept on the road, not stopping at this point. They were wasting time talking about this kind of stuff, Ieyasu just wanted to get this done and over so he could go back home and find a place to reconcile for that self-awareness he found when Ranta stopped them. He wouldn't blame them if they headed back either, there was one thing that was absolutely right although Shin hadn't mentioned it already: This situation could still turn to hell just because the Rise were involved. But if even just Ieyasu himself kept track on everyone, he believed that none of them would come under fatal harm. He just needed to put away his angers and little fears which still gnawed at him, making him unsure of what to do next.
