'Damn it,' Ieyasu thought to himself as the giant intercepted his own attack and caught him in place. He could feel as each and every single punch came down onto him, it was like being stuck in an undertow and the ocean ramming you into the rocks along the floor. His body had already given out at this point, the force of this all was just too much and even just one punch was enough to make the hardy Akimichi dazed and confused.

His arm was in hell right now, thankfully the forearm protector he wore into battle at least provided some help. But the underside of the caught arm was simply being torn up as the immense pressure of the giant threatened to crush it entirely. Simply said, they made too many mistake from before and this is truly where all three: Ieyasu, Rena, and Ousatsu should've died. But, it was just the right time and right place for a hero to show up and save this mess that had been created.

Like a comet streaking across the night sky, Keldran seemingly came from nowhere and did his best to immediately take Ieyasu's hand from the titan's maw. With the help of a clone, Ieyasu was taken straight out of the mess. At this point, he wasn't even sure just what was happening around him but the one thing he could recognize was the solemn face of Keldran doing his damned best to save everyone here.

"I'm sorry, Keldran," Ieyasu sputtered out while he struggled to not pass out. He fell to the ground and coughed a little before slowly getting up.

"I couldn't protect you. I can't even do it for myself. I'm sorry. I wanted to be a hero to protect everyone around us, but I'm just not that kind of guy. I was never meant to be that guy, I think. At least I can get stronger and then I can... end all of our problems. Gyugii... Hirotada... Ryojin."

Ieyasu struggled as he tried to just touch Keldran's clone to see if this was real and he just hadn't died already. Both of his hands were useless at the moment for a multitude of reason, but he still strained against the pain of just trying to grab Keldran. He had to know. He just wanted his friend. The only person who ever told his dad to stop being an asshole... that was something.

"What happened in Konoha, Keldran? O said you would never do shit like that, and I believe him. I think we're going to be in trouble if he's right... Who's the enemy?"
