"Alright!"

Ieyasu listened to Fire and kept his focus on the sky while Jarrett secured the group with his special bugs. Together, they all ran for an hour until eventually coming across the lair which the monster bird had landed at. It was almost night time, but there was still a fight that the group needed to go through. The entire time, Ieyasu had been thinking on what he could do once they found the bird. He couldn't just go in guns blazing like normal, these monsters weren't chumps like most of the other people he had fought in the past. Ieyasu had to improvise, and the only thing he had that would be immediately useful in combat were just a handful of E-rank jutsus from the Academy and the Bear Claw Technique which would only drain his chakra if he used it as wildly as he had been before.

It didn't feel right to leave Krenhs behind like this, but hopefully with everyone working together they could take this beast down or at least deal with it fast enough that Krenhs wouldn't even know that the group had left him on his own for this short amount of time. With haste in his spirit, Ieyasu began to climb the wall in front of him while beckoning to the bird monster above with his own war cry. The energy of the group right now was high and morale was blazing as each and every person wanted to get Vodal back.

They were at some sort of nest, fitting enough that there were countless bones and eggs gathered about. Ahead of them was Vodal who was barely familiar at this point having gone under the same transformation he seemed to have taken back at the aftermath of Water's death. With a quick wit about him, Fire started yelling out orders; Ieyasu and Yuutheo would be the front line against this beast. Together, Ieyasu believed they could save Vodal.

He started to run towards the scene when the avian beast finally revealed itself, it was disgustingly large and had an intimidating look as it snapped towards the group.

"I'm going in!"

Ieyasu kept running, having already put his hands together as he formed a few simple hand seals as fast as he could. This was the best strategy he could think of while they were chasing after the bird so he knew the hand seals he needed for this to work.

Tiger → Boar → Ox → Dog → Snake

With this, Ieyasu's chakra pathway began to circulate and gather as chakra built up within his system for his upcoming jutsu; however he wouldn't be using it immediately. Afterward, he'd continue on his normal sprint towards the beast, his heart was captivated with both aspiration and fear in the face of this foe although as usual he just forced a smile and continued to charge head first. Ieyasu had to be careful with his reserves, that run was tiring but thankfully his adrenaline was enough to keep him going.

What would become of this encounter, and could they save Vodal?
