Before they left the village, Kaoru asked Hanzō his name so he gave it. "My name is Hanzō. Hanzō Kokushin!" Just as the hooves of the horse sounded, Hanzō looked around in suspicion of what was coming next. Preemptively his hands naturally came together, prepared to weave hand seals as Hanzō realized where the nosie was coming from. From the bushes came a horse, racing madly towards the group. While Karasu leaped out of the way of incoming danger, Hanzō stood still, boldly. He was the kind of person who didn't like to give his ground to anyone else and the same was true in this situation. The gap was closing fast and Hanzō had to be fast. His hand made the Horse seal,  before he reached out with both hands towards the horse. Purple vines with large thorns emitted from his hands with such force that they reached out towards the horse. Naturally, if allowed, they would wrap around the horse's face and neck before tightening in one swift movement. Then, with all of his strength as well as the added momentum of the vines shortening themselves, Hanzō leaned in to his right side and attempted to pull the horse to the side. In theory, it should've been enough to diverge the horse's path to the left of Hanzō. This put himself and Kaoru out of harm's way, while also potentially saving the life of the horse and the man on the back of it. From there, Hanzō would keep his vines on the horse to keep it steady so that Karasu could safely approach it. At the same time, the thorns would've naturally dug into it by now from all the tension and pulling. If it did, then Hanzō could begin siphoning the horse's chakra to replenish his own. If for some reason, the horse continued to charge after Hanzō pulled it to the side, he'd begint to dig his heels deep into the Earth and lean back with all of his weight in an attempt to bring it to a still. It probably wouldn't mean that much considering his weight, but maybe the mare would begin to calm down as its energy was being sapped from it. Stamina: -2 points Total: 3/5 points total.
