After hearing out the woman whose name was Yuzume, who was the teacher of the now missing Shotaro who seemed to have gone out to beat these amber stone villains with his shinobi powers. Kei continued to look into her eyes as he asked her “So the foul look you gave me earlier, was it because you were suspicious of me?”. After she answered the tomoe in his sharingan spun around the iris once and at that she’d be put into an unconscious state of mind. Kei would help her down to the ground so she wouldn’t fall in a painful matter before his chakra stopped infiltrating her nervous system. All the while being fully aware of the laughter and footsteps behind him but never giving off a sign regarding that fact.

At least not until, while standing up, Kei’s clone broke his transformation technique so that his form would be surrounded by a puff of smoke before forming an unseen handseal with his right hand. At this, his chakra would travel unseen, and at high speeds, to capture both of these strangers to aim and stop their movement completely as if they were tied by invisible chains that gave zero leeway. Only after the paralyzing sensation came to effect did Kei step out of the small cloud of lingering smoke with his right hand raised up in the ram seal. “Temporary paralysis technique.”. Activating his Sharingan, Kei would look into the eyes of the one with the hammer and control him to state their business. If they were up to no good he’d knock them both out with a hit of his Chokuto’s hilt. But if they were friendly he’d release them from his jutsu and tell them to keep guard of the premises.

The clone then ‘poof’ed, restoring all of its chakra and knowledge to the original who was inspecting a most unusual closet.

“These symbols… all of them resemble this very amber stone.”. He took the small object out from his pocket and held it up next to one of the Kunai in the closet. “Furthermore… after drinking the contents of one of these stones, that strange man said the name of the innkeeper downstairs.”. Frowning to himself, Kei pocketed the Kunai in his hand and grabbed another from the closet which he kept in his prosthetic hand.

It was then that Kei understood that Shotaro most likely hadn’t gone away to fight these amber stone barbarians. No… it was more likely that Shotaro was one of them. But seeing how the berserker cried out ‘praise yuzume’ Kei assumed that either Shotaro was responsible for all of this or Yuzume created something she wasn’t aware of. Then again, the note in the black box warned him not to follow after Shotaro, which suggested Shotaro was being forced into something. Maybe they even forced him to share the shinobi teachings of Yuzume, perhaps that’s why she was praised. Kei continued thinking about the possibilities while kneeling down behind the doll.

“Hmm… I need more information to find a clear answer.”.

Kei took a closer look at the doll with his Sharingan, noting every detail of importance, before sealing the doll away in his scroll that was then pocketed. He then walked over to the broken window just as he heard something heavy fall down in the distance; following the sound with his regular black eyes; showing sharingan had de-activated.

“Hmm… curious.”

Walking back downstairs, Kei walked into Kayame’s shop to tell her to keep all guests inside of the inn. If she’d listen he made a shadow clone to join her inside the inn; carrying Yuzume. The shadow clone then placed an explosive tag on each door-handle, inside, so that anyone who tried to come in from the outside would do so missing a hand. The clone also remained with all of these, most likely terrified people, comforting them best he could while keeping an eye for anything unusual. Meanwhile the real Kei walked into the forest after checking up on the two men who would be K.O or guarding the premises if they cared about their lives.

He walked at an off-putting calm pace as if he was just taking casual stroll rather than heading to find out what caused that loud sound of something falling not too long ago. It would’ve been quite the sight to see him walking past the body of the dead woman, still laying outside in a brutal display, without as much as a flinch yet he still knelt beside her body to close her lifeless eyes as a sign of respect before heading deeper into the forest with not a drop of blood or sweat on him.

“Gomenasai.”
