The tiger was eating the meat just as planned and Taka couldn't help but smile "Incredible ... right? Not many can say they got this close to a tiger" He was clearly in awe of the situation and could barely contain the grin on his face "Just ... wow". He briefly took the time to inspect his team. Ranta seemed to be having the same reaction at Taka himself, going so far as to try and calm the beast. ''Soft spot for animals maybe? Or just kind? His eyes then drifted to Shinra who was bandaging Ranta's arm to the best of his ability while suggesting that the senbon were likely from traps or hunters Shin is pretty on top of things, and he's cluey. ''Finally Taka's dark eyes fell to Naraku who, depsite his protests was inspecting the wounds with limited medical know how. At the mentioning of restraining the Tiger, taka almost yelled at him but was beaten by Ranta. ''Raku means well i'm sure ... but his morals are ... questionable. Maybe i'll talk to him later>'' He nodded in agreement with Ranta and solidified his point "No cages" He said with a stern tone.

Takahiro watched as the senbon were removed, softly cooing to the tiger to keep it distracted, even if it was mostly drugged up Taka felt it would be good for the Tiger's attention to be directed elsewhere. It was then that Ranta surprised even Takahiro, he stated, calmly and certainly that he was going to take the tiger back to the village. Taka opened his mouth to argue the point before considering the options, leaving it here meant it was only a matter of time before someone managed to kill it "Alright, we'll take it back to the village. But Ranta. You live in an apartment, you can't keep a tiger there. If we take her back to the village, take her to the Uchiha Compound, We have a heap of space there, I can talk to my father and we can have a section fenced off so she can wander around and both the Tiger and people will be safe. Then perhaps when she's at full strength we can release her, further away from villages, Deal?" He was looking at Ranta with serious eyes, it was clear he supported Ranta's decision to help the Tiger but also clear that he was thing of the safety of everyone involved.

It was then however, that the group would hear the wimpering and cries of another, noticably younger animal. ''A cub? Or just another injured animal''. Takahiro was already on his feet before the others could react. "Ranta-sensei, you stay here and watch over her" he pointed to the tiger "Your arm is too badly damaged for you to be much help" He was already stalking off towards the glade "Shin, Raku. I'll take point, I don't want anyone else getting injured, if either of you got injured ... I dunno. Anyway, you guys be ready to have my back incase something goes wrong. Stay about a meter or two behind me and keep your eyes peeled okay? No sudden movements" Taka's tone was quite serious and even though he was probably the youngest on the team it was clear he was trying to show strong leadership potential, even despite the fact that Shinra was much more trained then he was. Takahiro brought his hands together, not quite in a hand seal but ready just incase. On the off chance he was faced with threatening danger he would use the body flicker technique to get away before regrouping with the squad to help them. Regardless, for now Taka walked carefully towards the source of the noise if he wasn't inturrupted.
