Kayato listened as Dante began to move towards the direction of the sound. Following close behind, Kayato listened to his explanation of the bear and Samurai and how there was in fact villagers in danger. Kayato's suspicions were true, it was an animal that was causing some villagers to go missing, though why the bear was attacking was still at the back of his mind. He pondered on it, thinking it might have something to do with the two ominous figures that Dante had mentioned before. Another odd fact that stuck out to Kayato was that there was a Samurai in the middle of Konohagakure. It just didn't add up to him.

As Dante spoke out his plan to take on the bear and for Ryouta and himself to take care of the Villagers and possibly the samurai as well, Kayato began to think of his own way to adress the situation. From the corner of his eye he spotted a golden glow which was followed by a spark come from Ryouta's direction. A jutsu perhaps? Possibly, but from where he was at Kayato was unable to tell. Ryouta went off towards the direction of the villagers and Dante towards the direction of the bear. Kayato had been directed by Ryouta to keep close to the other Genin in case things went south with the bear.

Instead of going off to the side, which would have divided the group into a weaker and stronger pair of groups which could have put them at a disadvantage if the situation turned hostile. Kayato knew that the villager's were the priority and that avoiding a fight too keep them from danger would be the best situation. Kayato went up the middle, sure to keep the other two in sight. He jumped up from branch to branch until he was above everyone on one of the branches and was able to keep a view on everything that occurred. He watched over to Dante as he attacked the bear with a strike that looked like it could have killed the bear instantly, but it didn't. From what Kayato could tell, the strike had some kind of a drawback effect on Dante because once the bear had been silenced by the samurai, Dante's hand that he striked it with was hidden behind his back and seemed to shake slightly.

Kayato glanced down towards the samurai as he removed the grotesque mask and kneeled down before Dante and thanking him for his assistance. During the time, Kayato had noticed that the Samurai had never let go of the hilt of his blade, which gave Kayato an ominous feeling. He glanced over towards the villagers, hoping that Ryouta would be there to assess the situation and get them out of there if need be, before glancing back towards the samurai and hopping off the tree branch. As he fell down towards the ground, Kayato kicked off the tree and propelled himself towards the samurai. In the middle of his fall, Kayato reached down and pulled one of the small scrolls from the pocket on his right leg and swiftly unraveled it and stuck one end through the Kunai he still had from earlier and tied it off. This gave the weapon an entirely new set of capabilities. Kayato chunked the Kunai towards another one of the branches, sticking it into the bark, and used it to slow down his momentum just before he landed directly behind the samurai. The moment he landed behind the samurai, Kayato yanked the scroll and pulled the kunai back from out of the tree and caught it within his hand and held the bladed edge down towards the samurai. "Let go of your sword. If you were truly grateful for our assistance then you would release your blade and let us help our villagers." Kayato's tone changed slightly when he began to speak. It was no longer one of slight enthusiasm, instead it was one of complete devotion to the task at hand: the protection of the villagers.
