As the bandit rounded the corner, instead of a rabbit all he found was a kunai embedded in his chest. Not the best way to start off a night. It went straight between one of his ribs in a few inches. Daisuke couldn't exactly help here as he was right behind Alwin. If he were to the side or just anywhere else he would have had a shot at trying to silence what came next.

"ARRGGGHH!!!"

Screamed the bandit as he stumbled back, feeling the searing pain in his chest while blood stained his shirt. Daisuke grabbed Alwin by his shoulders and shoved him to the side.

"Run!"

Daisuke couldn't have said this with more urgency, if Alwin didn't try to resist and simply went ahead Daisuke would immediately leap forth with his own kunai in hand stabbing the bandit straight in his throat. At the same time chakra began to pump straight into his legs. Daisuke turned into a blur as he held onto the additional luggage, throwing himself back into the shadows of the treeline while blood from the gory mess dripped on the ground.

He stopped a little further into the forest, dropping the dying bandit on the dirt ground. Daisuke shoved his foot on top of the kunai in the bandit's throat immediately sending it further in. The blade slipped between the vertebrae of the bandit's neck tearing apart vital nerves that acted as a basis for almost everything down below.

All that could be heard now was an almost pitiful squelch from the dying bandit that could only be heard by Daisuke and the whispering winds.

People came sprinting outside of their houses, chief among them was the only torchbearer who was among the last to arrive. They bickered to each other trying to sort out what the situation was and just what that painful scream was. The oldest among them stepped up, an wizened man with a short head of hair going gray in some parts and a stubble. In the light of the torch a faint shimmer could be seen, and upon closer inspection blood could be seen on the ground. The men uncovered more as they weighed in on the evidence of the scene.

From the footsteps, the sounds, and the evidence; any of the bandits could see that they were dealing with 1-2 people of some shinobi caliber. No normal man could carry off a body so quickly.

The one in charge of this investigation was the older man of before who declared, "Everybody listen up! We might have a few ninja here tonight. Looks like they picked off one of our men. Well? I want every last person guarding or patrolling the area. Groups of 3, nothing less. I want more men over by the barn, and I need 4 groups sweeping through the forest. Now! Now! Now!"

A simple mission, if Alwin had only been more aggressive or simply chose to hide then he and Daisuke would've been fine. However, now it was very possible that the mission was failed. Perhaps there was something salvageable of this, but that all really depended on Alwin's attitude.

If Alwin went into the forest and was still there, Daisuke would arrive behind him.

"That was a big mistake," Dai sternly chided at Alwin, "We might not be able to finish this mission now. We can still try, but it's going to more dangerous than last time. Hurry up! We don't have too much time before they probably send someone out."

If Alwin chose to leave then the two would simply do that, running off into the distance. However if they did stay, then Daisuke would be right behind him not really taking charge just yet. Although at this point the success of this mission seemed abysmal Daisuke still had hope for Alwin pulling this off.
