Beast of The Leaf ~Private/V/Flashback~

Name: The Beast of the Leaf!
Rank: B
Type: Either
Mission given by: The Village
Rewards: 300 Ryu
Participants: Anyone
Daily: Once per day.
Description: The village has spotted a car sized black wolf in the Land of Fire. This wolf has the ability to fire her hair like needles at targets and extremely fast. She isn't alone either, she is accompanied by about 12 normal sized wolves as well. Only the large wolf can speak though. They work in sync as a pack, so be careful. We need you to kill the large wolf, if you do so the smaller one's might leave out of fear. It's near impossible to sneak up on them due to their sense of smell and hearing.

~8 years ago~

Syndra had just finished up a meeting with the Senju elders of the clan. It had been one year since the mysterious vanishing of her parents, the village suspected that Syndra's parents were targeted by another village because of their Senju bloodline and were kidnapped because of it. Syndra had seemed to be very upset by the whole ordeal, but still fulfilled her duties as a shinobi. Around this time Syndra had been given a lot of trust with the medical team, becoming one of the most well known medical shinobi in the Land of Fire.
Many people claimed that even though Syndra a prophecy to the Senju clan and a extremely skilled shinobi, she still has not been the same since her younger days where she was attempted to be kidnapped and her best friend died in the process. Ever since that faithful day, Syndra has never been the 'sweet girl who would never harm another creature' again. Although, many people in the village did look up to her and were thankful for her. She was still valued as one of the most loyal shinobi in the village, not to mention one of the prettiest.

After Syndra's meeting, she was informed by a village elder that her and another shinobi who was also quite skilled would be dealt with the task of eliminating a large black wolf and her pack who have been killing locals in the Land of Fire. The pack has been spotted in the woods that surround the village. The pack was to be killed. Syndra agree'd to the mission and was told to wait at the village gates for the fellow shinobi would accompany her on the mission. The name of the shinobi didn't look familiar to her, then again a lot of names didn't look to familiar to her because of the fact that she was trained by the Senju clan instead of attending the academy. Meaning she missed out getting to know any of the shinobi around her age when they were younger, with the exception of other Senju's.

While waiting at the gates, Syndra was dressed in an black long sleeve turtle neck with the neck rolled down some so her neck was still visible, a grey jounin flak jacket with pointed shoulder guards, black shinobi styled pants that stopped at her shins but her shins were not visible due to the bandages she wore from her ankles to her pants line, and black standard shinobi sandals. She was pale skinned, light blue eyes, and long snow white hair that was held back in a long ponytail that was held together by three black hair rings. The moon marking on her forehead was covered by forehead protector that bore Konoha's village symbol. Strapped to her right thigh was shuriken holster and strapped to her right back hip was a tool carrying pouch. She was overall a very beautiful woman who was well known in the village for being quite a helpful person towards the village and a prophecy to the Senju clan.

"Where is this kid?" Syndra said to herself in a low voice. Not really an annoyed voice, but just curious.

After wrestling with his thoughts and consoling himself, Ryuho walked out from the boulder and towards Syndra with a pre-shot routine-induced confidence. "Hello ~ there. You must be Syndra Senju. I'm Ryuho Mikoto Nakata. Nice to meet your acquintance...." he greeted, hiding the fact that he was a nervous fuck.

Ryuho was chewing on a dango by the time Syndra had arrived at the gates. He allowed his saliva to to lubricate the goma that permeated his mouth, wrapping the top and bottom of his tongue around the sweet and salty texture. He placed it there before he had his teeth chew it apart, tasting the sesame content of the meaty rice dough. He could pinpoint which what kind of plant the sesame came from just by doing that. "Mhm~ hmm~ hmm...." Ryuho muffled. He thought back to his earlier precaution......

It had been known to him that he was assigned to a B-class mission; him, an elite and experienced Jounin of sorts accompanying a recent Jounin to kill some animals. Generally, Ryuho did not like killing animals, or killing at all, but if Konohagakure put this mission up to protect the lives of its citizens, then Ryuho will have no qualm in killing a wolf. Especially if it's massive. What also got Ryuho even more involved in the mission was the news that he was working with a fine, beautiful kunoichi! And one with medical expertise with that! Ryuho hadn't quite gotten involved with women on missions for quite some time now. Not ever since the deadly affair regarding his last love interest. Ryuho had concentrated on training and refining his skills, all to become Hokage. After the Hokage announced his resignation recently, Ryuho was secretly one of the candidates for succession, and probably the best candidate. He had been eyeing the Hokage position for several years now, for he had a huge desire to lead the village into an era of greater peace. Course, only the former Hokage, the elders, and perhaps the ANBU Captain knew about this.

Tapping into the mission listing granted to him as an advisor to the Hokage, Ryuho found out his partner was Syndra Senju. Syndra... Ryuho had thought. What a beautiful name! He looked at her profile, and immediately duck down below a nearby table, hugging the back of his head until he came out a minute later. What a deadly woman! Sure, her face and body is pretty damn fine, but her physical stature, expressions, and facial outlines were also pretty damn scary. She was a man-woman to Ryuho; physically tough, demanding, and crushing. Her black exterior was the one that had intimidated Ryuho the most. W-why??!! he thought hopelessly....

Returning back to the present-past day, Ryuho grinded on hid dango and decided that it was time to go. He had on his straw hat, twin Takashi that were holstered along his belt line, short, pink kimono, and a ragged white kosode, as if he were a hobo. He did not wear his white shitagi on top of his black kosode. And so Ryuho walked towards the gates, where he immediately hid behind a boulder once he saw the back of the imposing Syndra Senju. He peeked out from the thing; to admire her black fashion style on top of the formal Jounin uniform that turned on many men, and then peek back down. Scary.... Ryuho thought, feeling out of his wits as there was a gut feeling that prevented him from going along with this mission. Oh boy oh boy...

Syndra nodded her head slightly at the man as he introduced himself to her. He seemed confident enough at the moment. She was curious to what type of shinobi the man was. He must have quite a bit of skill to be a jounin at least.
Syndra would brush a piece of snow white hair behind her right ear before speaking to the boy. She spoke in an elegant and calm tone.
"Ah, nice to meet you." She claimed. She came off as a very 'let's get to business.' type women. Very professional shinobi skills.
She then turned and face the forest that surrounded the great village of Konoha. Her backside now facing her new found ally. While looking out into the forest for a moment, she thought about how the first hokage created the forest and that this village is here due to her ancestors. After being lost in her thoughts for a moment though, she began to speak aloud to Ryuho.

"The wolf pack has been spotted at marker B of the forest." The village used markers to indicate certain points of the forest on the outside of the village walls. The area's were labeled with the alphabet. Marker 'B' was the area closest to the village gate on the right side.

Syndra then turned slightly to face Ryuho and continued to speak in a calm voice. "So, shall we head out? I'd like to get back by sunset." Syndra's way of saying no time for dilly dallying. She seemed to take missions seriously. It left open room to wonder what she was like off duty.

"Er.... sorry, missus. Ladies, first!" Who knows. Maybe at the end of the day he can bag a kiss to the cheek from the deadliest woman in the village.

Ryuho had smiled in response to Syndra's reply to his greeting. She didn't smack him around for being late, or scold him for appearing before her in a hideous manner, so things were going fine. Ryuho liked a kunoichi who was ready to focus on the mission. So long as they are strong, though. They must be a strong kunoichi and be able to defend themselves. As he blinked back into what's in front of him, Syndra already her her back turned to him. "Whoa ~ whoa, they're that close, already? We should take care of them now then huh, Missus Syndra?"

Ryuho walked out of the village with his wrist resting on the bottom hilt of his katana, ready to spring into action. But then he stopped, turned around to face Syndra, and scratched the back of his head while looking in a rather goofy manner....

Syndra looked at Ryuho when he gave the goofy look towards her. She then smiled slightly and then turned to her right to look out into the woods. She would point in that direction and then speak in a calm voice.
"That way." She claimed.

She would then begin to dash into the woods, leaving Ryuho there to stand. Although, she expected him to be following right behind. While running she brainstormed of a way to handle the wolves. There is practically no way to sneak up on them. Their sense of smell is extremely strong and could probably already smell Syndra and Ryuho and were awaiting their arrival in the area.
The location of the wolves was just a couple more meters away, the woods would clear into a big open spot where they would be located.

"How many am I going to kill next...?"

Ryuho had looked as Syndra went into the forests, the black outfit she was wearing blending in with the darkness of the Senju trees. Ryuho placed a hand over the hilt of his Takashi, and sighed. "Dear, dear...", and he dashed into the woods as well, following after Syndra....

"Wolves are ferocious, aren't they?" Ryuho said as he trailed several meters behind Syndra. Looks like stealth isn't an option, well at least not for me that is... these creatures can smell a rat coming up from behind them. Mutts have to be taken head-on. Ryuho held on to his hat to make sure it doesn't fly off, as they approach the site of the beasts of the leaf. What techniques should I use? Straight-up Kenjutsu or Shinshikata? How should I kill them?. Ryuho waved his arm up and down, and then left to right. Like this... like that... or... he pondered as he calculated his fighting strategy before-head. His enemies were not humans, but powerful animals. Their strength, ferocity, brutality, agility, and animalistic instincts were something to be feared. There existed no reasoning.

Bracing himself, Ryuho slowed down and landed on a tree branch, in clear view of an open forest field, where there were 8 savage wolves already looking at them, with angered eyes. They not only smelled their presence, but also their bloodlust. They knew they were here to kill them. Their lives jeapordized, instincts kick in for the classical sake of survival. Ryuho was still swinging his arm up and down, and left to right. Like this.... and like that.... imagining how he'd kill the wolves now that they were in front of him. They responded with greater hostility. "Oh my... there's such a large number of them, Missus Syndra...." Ryuho pointed out, although secretly his confidence was not shaken, because knowing that Syndra was a Senju and the battlefield was in the middle of a forest relaxed the soon-to-be Hokage. Ryuho bent his knees slightly and had his hand on the handle of his katana. I could probably kill one or two of them in a flash before my cool is compromised... Ryuho thought, replaying his imagined death scenes in his mind. Ryiho looked to the side of the forest where there were a lot of trees, and could spot a huge shadow looming towards them. That must be the big man.

"Yosh! Missus ~ Syndraaa" Ryuho called out as he leapt from the tree branch, to which the wolves reacted to when one of them rushed forward towards Ryuho who just landed. Ryuho unsheathed his left Takashi with his right hand by a few inches, awaiting for the charging wolf. Closer.... Ryuho thought; death reflected in his hands. He had his hand over his straw hat and then tossed it at the wolf's eyes, blindsiding it. Ryuho then unsheathed his sword and followed it with a quick slash down the wolf's face and neck, expecting to kill the wolf in one blow. His straw hat split apart, and the wolf halted immediately, a long bloody streak on it. The wolf growled as it cannot attack as well, but did not relent. Ryuho saw the paw attack coming, so he sidestepped just as the claw came at him, and then thrusted his Takashi into the side of the wolf's neck, no doubt piercing through major vessels, finally killing it. The wolf slumped down back to the ground, breathless. Ryuho regained his balance and flicked the blood off of his Takashi.

Syndra could Ryuho behind her as she leaped from branch to branch. He attempted to make small talk about the fierceness that wolves carried. She would smirk slightly, although he couldn't see it because of that fact that he was behind her.
"That they are. They're extremely clever in packs, which is why we have to stay on our toes. ." Syndra paused for a moment too look around and then continued speaking while jumping from branch to branch.
"It's not so much the pups as the larger one that I'm worried about. I hear she can fire her hairs like needles and speak in our tongue."
Luckily for Syndra the battle would take place in the woods, a place where she felt very much at home. Something about being of Senju blood just made one naturally comfortable in wooden areas. As they approached, Syndra and Ryuho stopped on two separate branches that peered in the small field in the wooden area. The wolves had already detected Syndra and Ryuho, not only did they detect them but already knew why they were coming here. To kill them.

Each of their angry eyes facing Syndra and Ryuho, growling slightly. Syndra would stare back at them for a moment begin to form hand seals when Ryuho yelled out to Syndra as he fell off the branch into the ground. Her eyes naturally looked at him landing on the ground as one of the wolves charged at him. When she then gathered her attention once more she looked to the side of the forest where a large wolves face was coming out and hundreds hairs that resembled senbon were firing at Syndra.
Syndra quickly jumped off the branch to avoid the senbon like hairs that just destroyed the branch when making contact with it. Syndra landed on her feet a few meters away from Ryuho. She then heard a growl from behind her as another wolf lashed out from the wilderness and went straight for Syndra's neck. Syndra thought to her self, "It was trap. . the leader used her senbon hairs to make me leave the branch so this wolf could kill me. . They're clever."

Syndra would fall to the ground as the wolf landed on top of her. Syndra was holding the wolf back with her arms as it began to snap in front of her face. The only thing stopping Syndra from becoming wolf chow was her strength holding the dogs neck back.
"You think I'm letting a mere mutt kill me!" She yelled to the mutt chomping at the air with drool slapping Syndra's face.

The hand seal that Syndra formed earlier was a chakra scalpel, Syndra activated the chakra scalpel in both of her hands while holding the dogs neck. This caused the chakra medical blade to slice the dogs throat. The barks and growls became faint as the dog fell to the side whimpering and incapable of breathing. Syndra would pick herself up and look at the parade of mutts, along with the large one standing behind them all. When the larger wolf showed up, so did the others from the pack. There was twelve to start, but now only ten. Due to the ones that Ryuho and Syndra just killed.

The wolf that just attempted to kill Syndra was still gasping for air due to its throat being cut by the chakra scalpel. Syndra would look at the wolves eyes while placing her foot on the head of the gasping wolf and would begin to apply pressure until Syndra's foot smashed into the skull of the wolf, killing it instantly.

"For dogs, you're all pretty clever." She said while doing so, in an almost taunting voice. She came off as quite ruthless on the battle field right now. She would then glance at Ryuho to see if he was injured, but he was okay. The good thing for Ryuho was that if anything bad happened to him, Syndra could most likely heal it.

The large mutt began to speak to Ryuho and Syndra in a near terrifying male voice. "I won't let the deaths of my brothers not be revenged." Anyone could tell that he was quite the scary big bad wolf. The ten remaining normal wolves would continue growl and bark while the larger one stood behind them swinging his tail back and forth with drool running down his canine mouth.
Sydndra being about 10 meters way from Ryuho would speak while still facing the wolves.
"Just try to kill as many as possible and don't fall for their traps, they'll most likely try to lead us into each other. The same way they hunt." Syndra would then glance over to Ryuho for just a moment and continue speaking. "I've got your back." She explained to Ryuho, appearing very ally like with him.

Each of the wolves stared dead at Ryuho and Syndra in a tackle like position, it was hard to predict what their next move was going to be.

After Ryuho had killed the wolf, his eyes widened as the gigantic head of an alpha wolf peered from the darkness of the forest, befalling the trees as it entered the fray. It was a truly fearsome animal, that Ryuho himself felt an uneasiness in his gut upon sight. Truly big - simple slashes won't do. It'd take a thrust in a vital area for Ryuho to put this beast down, although Ryuho was not well-versed in the anatomy of bigger animals such as these. One wrong move could cost him his live, because it didn't look like the wolf would have any trouble mauling him. Just then, a countless number of needle-like hair shot out towards Syndra, who was able to evade the incoming barrage. Ryuho backed up as well and heightened his guard, because for him, merely dodging and deflecting won't help him, he'll have to use Shinshikata techniques. Could I have taken this demon thing when I was a Chunin?

"I'm glad this isn't counted as animal cruelty, Missus...." Ryuho joked, but then he stopped shortly with a blank look on his face as he saw a wolf leaping from the darkness of the trees from behind Syndra. But she reacted before Ryuho could warn her, and they ended up competing in a brutal power struggle. Wolves were ferocious. The wolves were on standby now as they watched Ryuho. Syndra had killed the wolf that was on her seemingly with her bare hands - a monster-woman really, and crushed its head underfoot. Ryuho backed up a bit, away from the wolves and Syndra. He wanted to divide the numbers up as much as possible to avoid any gangpiling, so distance from his partner had to kept, but not far so that he couldn't reach her side with his fast Shunshin no Jutsu. "Oi, oi, how come the big doggie can talk? What can of magic is at work here? Or is he a human in the form of a wolf..?" Ryuho looked back at Syndra, and smiled gently at her. She was a nice girl after all.

Ryuho could not take his eyes off of the wolves that were in front of him, because he could see three of them charging at him right now. Ryuho ran straight-on towards the closest one, a feisty dog at that. Quite honestly, these wolves moved a little slower than Ryuho, and his own swiftness when it comes to close quarters combat with the sword gave him the advantage in attacking first. Once the wolf was within 2 meters, Ryuho would swing his sword at the wolf's face before it could maul at him with its claw, severely injuring the wolf. The Nakata swordsman followed it up immediately with a stab through the head from below the wolf's chin, using his other Takashi sword. The wolf stopped, its putrid breath weakening as its disfigured face bled in front of Ryuho. He took pity on the poor thing. Ryuho ended it with a violent slash to the neck, beheading the wolf and spilling a puddle of blood to the ground.

The other two wolves returned to standby, as they knew that they had to be more cunning now. Ryuho had his dual Takashi out, and blood stains were all over his white shitagi rags. The lady wouldn't like this at all once he returns to the village. He had not appeared to be so battle-ready before. Ryuho reached forward and stabbed the ground as far as he could reach with the tip of his left Takashi, and made a semicircle without taking his eyes off of the wolves. He did it slowly enough that the wolves would not be provoked so much, thus he completed it, leaving the blade stuck to the ground - to provoke them to come at him. Ryuho stood where he was while the wolves then formed an equal angle from where he was, intending to come at him at the same time from the front. It would make it impossible for Ryuho to use straight-up fighting. Now, he had to rely on his classical swordsmen training, which was all about patience and timing. Ending the battle in one precise blow. He charged his right Takashi blade with chakra as his heart rate beated faster. The chakra disappeared. The miracles of his clan were about to come to fruition. The wolves ran at him at about the same time, running powerfully on their legs - one would have to admire the way in which they ran, seeking to destroy him directly. Wait...wait.... Ryuho thought, as his pupils were slightly titled downwards at the edge of the semicircle he drew. When the fingers of the wolves entered inside the circle, Ryuho lunged forward with burst speed, slashing from right to left along the neck line of the two wolves. "Shoot to Death! Hah!" Just as he made his swing, a second blade simultaneously peeled from his Takashi blade and shot out at high speed, which to Ryuho's luck, stabbed the wolf to his right right in the throat. Leaving only one wolf to be his opponent, Ryuho's burst forward allowed him to cut the wolf coming from his left in the neck before it could pounce on him, and so that wolf passed by him and collapsed to the ground, as blood spilled from its neck. Ryuho grabbed his left Takashi after doing so. He did not need to put the wolves out of their misery. Ryuho clanged his swords together as Syndra dealt with her own problem....

Syndra would smirk when Ryuho asked his question, although she would never reply because she didn't know the answer to it. She assumed that maybe the wolf was quite old and picked up on the human language in its life time, the same way that some Inuzuka clansmen canines do.
Ryuho soon kicked into action, giving a remarkable display of his swordsmen skills. He was obviously quite skilled in using blades, while Syndra's cup of tea was more Ijutsu and Ninjutsu. Which she would soon display to the wolf pack and Ryuho.

Syndra noticed that four of the wolves were begin to form around her in a half circle, attempting to gang up on her. They were probably less likely to just charge in after seeing Syndra cut the inner throat of the previous wolf, the chakra scalpel made her quite dangerous in close combat, all it took was one tap to cause severe damage to ones body. Sure, the chakra scalpel could probably never land anything fatal in the heat of battle, but it slows down targets enough to give her room or opportunity to do something more fatal. Such as she did with the previous wolf, the wolf had a hard time breathing which made it hard to move, but then Syndra took that chance and crushes the mutts skull with her boot.

The four wolves formed their half circle while the remaining wolves stayed near to the larger and obvious leader of the pack. She was letting her pawns go first while she sat in the back and watched. She was quite the clever dog.

Syndra would look back and forth at each wolf, connecting her eyes with theirs. Moments later, the wolf on the far right lunged into action. Leaping and growling at Syndra, Syndra quickly formed the needed seals for the Wood Cutting Technique. As she did so, a piece of Senju wood that resembled a branch would form out of her arm she would quickly chuck the wood at the wolf in hopes to stab the wolf right between the eyes, but the wolf caught it in its mouth, holding it like a toy that its owner just told it too fetch. When this happened, the larger wolf could be heard laughing from the background. "Stupid Humans. .Hahahahaha." Syndra would nod slightly and form the tiger seal, when doing so the branch that the canine was holding in its mouth errupted into several large branches that ripped through the canines mouth, brain, and skull. Painting the area with its blood and brain matter. The shattering of its skull could be heard throughout the area. The laughing of the larger wolf quickly stopped after the wolf fell to the ground, its face barely even resembling a wolf anymore.

Out of rage, the other three wolves came charging at Syndra from the left, front, and right. Syndra would quickly jump upward to avoid the attack, causing all three of the wolves to smack into each other, just as they did Syndra launched another piece of Senju Wood at the mouth of the wolves that were all pushed into each other now. She would then form the Tiger seal once more which caused the same affect as before but instead of one wolf, impaling three wolves at one time due to how close they were to each other. They appeared to be sewn together in a bloody mess by the technique.

Syndra would land to where her back was facing the mess of barely recognizable wolves behind her with a slight smirk on her face. The larger wolf was now growling heavily at Syndra and Ryuho in anger, with remaining pack of smaller wolves surrounding her in anger. Syndra would glance over at Ryuho and then back at the wolf pack leader.
"I expected more from you guys, I really did." She would then begin to take a couple steps towards the direction of the pack while forming a couple hand seals casually, as if she was taunting them. She would speak while walking.
"Well, let's wrap this up. Shall we?" She asked in a taunting voice towards the wolves. She seemed almost un-human like in battle, it was rare to see such a capable fighter who was mainly a medical shinobi. Ryuho would most likely be at about the same spot she was now, peering at the dwindled pack of wolves and their leader.

The fresh blood dripped down from Ryuho's Takashi, and he approached the remaining four wolves. He looked to the side, justin time to see three wolves being mutilated by Syndra's wood. Senjus were truly fearsome ninjas. Syndra landed back to the ground in what some men would call a very sexy manner. Does she relish in the art of killing? Ryuho pondered at the smirk on Syndra's face, wondering if she gets turned on by gruesome acts of mutilation, murder, and sexual violence. If so, then Ryuho is with a very demented lady right now. A great growl from the head wold rang in Ryuho's ears, as he witnessed the growing bloodlust of the infantry wolves moving closer to Syndra. An opening. With their focus no longer on Ryuho, there is a gap between the wolves that Ryuho can enter and proceed to kill the head wolf himself. "Oh ~ ho ~ ho, I wonder if I kill the big guy, maybe the lapdogs would disperse as well..." he said while Syndra was making handseals, clearly having a plan for the wolves that were heading towards her. Ryuho charged his Takashi with wind chakra, and his heart beated faster again, so he ran towards the large wolf from an angle, attempting to take advantage of this situation to literally cut off the "head".

"Stupid, stupid, stupid!" the big wolf growled, as it sharpened her hair and positioned herself in a way that it was obvious she'll launch them at Ryuho as projectiles. "Taka~onniiiii!" Ryuho called out as he swung his blade towards the direction of the big wolf, just as the needles came flying out. A large wind force came out from Ryuho's Takashi and rapidly expanded, parrying the dozens of needles and deflecting them. About 20 needles were sent astray, and they were sent flying into the abdomen of the three wolves that were after Syndra, which would no doubt incapacitate dem. The remaining needles were sent flying back to the big wolf, and it would sure prick her up a lot....

Syndra would just finish her hand seals when the barrage of needles caused the remaining wolves to fall down. It seems their attack back fired. Syndra would then focus on the larger wolf who when was pricker by her own technique became more fearsome and angry, barking at Ryuho. The wolf would begin to charge at Ryuho with great intent, he planned on killing Ryuho. Syndra had no doubt that Ryuho could handle himself against the large creature. But, just to aid him. Syndra would aim her planned technique at the large wolf.
As the wolf began to charge at Ryuho, three roots ripped out of the ground beside Syndra and wrapped around the canines legs. This caused the canine to trip in a clumsy mess in front of Ryuho, as if asking to have its head severed. The wolf would begin to stand once again when small flowers on the vines began to leak out a cloud of dark purple poisonous gas, just around the wolf leader. The wolf become light headed but still concious of what was going on.
"You damn human! What did you do?" The wolf asked in a lazy voice while staring at Ryuho with still killing intent, although her facial expression wasn't matching its actions. It seemed as if its body was slowly falling asleep.
Syndra would smirk slightly and cross her arm.
"It's a sleeping poison that causes one to lure into a sleep." Syndra explained. She was showing more ijutsu in a combat ready way.
Syndra would then glance over to Ryuho, "Feel free to kill it either before or after it falls asleep. It'll be more painful for it if you kill it why it's awake." Syndra spoke to Ryuho in a calm voice, allowing him to decide if the wolf went out peacefully or painfully.

The larger wolf started to get back up now, and boy did it look even more fearsome. The anger was real. Ryuho steadied his arms, as he knew that this wolf was very fast, and one hit would do serious damage to him. Therefore to counter......

But before he could think of his next move, Syndra had already dealt with it. Her Senju ~ Wood Style intercepted the wolf just as it was a few meters away from Ryuho, holding and tightening their grip upon their legs.  He could see flowers budding from the plants that were around the wood, a marvelous creation of beauty. But then Ryuho backed up immediately in a panic as a dark purple gas farted out, which Ryuho would of course perceive as poison. "Whoa! Dangerous!" he yelped, staying a distance away from the wolf until the gas could no longer be visible.

Ryuho looked towards Syndra after she gave him the choice to kill him. "Thanks for having my back, Missus!" Ryuho said, glad that he was with a woman who could take care of herself. He approached the half-awake wolf. Should he kill it? Him, a Jounin about to take the Hokage position? A peace-loving swordsman who never wanted to mean harm to a living creature would slaughter an animal in front of a woman? Will he add to his history another misfortune? Ryuho weighed the options, considering bringing the wolf to Konohagakure. Probably as a guard dog or a summon. "You got a name?" Ryuho asked. The wolf shook its head. "Mhm... I'll name you then. I can spare your life. Come to Konohagakure. We can offer you food and shelt-"
"Stupid, stupid, stupid HUMAN!! YOU THINK I'LL SET FOOT INTO YOUR CIVILIZATION AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS?! I'LL EAT YOUR RANKS THE MOMENT YOU TAKE YOUR EYES OFF OF ME!" the wolf barked loudly, with a bite that made it seem as if the poison no longer had an effect on the now- ever more angry wolf, drool dripping from its teeth as it tried to lunge out at Ryuho, but couldn't because of the poison.

This dog has too much hate.. and it's right... I'll be dishonorable to take her in after I killed twelve of her closest companions. It was shameful and idiotic of me to try to spare her life. It's either the deceased are avenged or the avenger shall perish... Ryuho thought as he climbed up on top of the wolf's head, and waited for a minute, when the wolf would finally fall asleep. Ryuho then stabbed his Takashi into the wolf's skull and pull his sword out; brain matter drooping from the wound on top of the wolf's head. He then swung down a quick slash - beheading the wolf in a split second, putting it out from any future misery. Ryuho secretly prayed with a beating heart that the wolf would be reborn in a higher caste; a friend of humanity.

He had quite a lot of blood on his clothing and on his Takashi, that even if he tried to flick the blood off, it still wouldn't be even remotely clean. He approached Syndra with sheathed swords. "Looks like the mission went well, Missus Syndra. I hope that we get to pair up in future missions" (even though Ryuho knew they most likely would not given he'd be the one giving and approving her mission reports). It seems I've dirtied myself. I shall go clean up in a nearby lake or river" he said, with closed eyes and a great smile.

[EXIT - Mission Completed]

Syndra would nod her head at Ryuho when he thanked her for having his back, she was quite interested in how Ryuho would handle the next move. Would he slay the mutt while it was still awake or wait till it could pass peacefully in its own slumber. She was curious to if Ryuho had nay darkness in his heart, anything that could possibly drive him down a darker path.
Syndra always believed that there was some darkness in everyone's heart, just some had been burdened more than others. Ryuho would some what prove her wrong though, her eyes widened with disbelief when Ryuho began to offer the canine a home among the ranks of the village. Syndra knew in her mind that wouldn't work, but Ryuho was pure and still tried.
"This boy is quite pure. ." Syndra thought to herself as Ryuho would climb on the head of the wolf and wait for it to reach a slumber. He spared the wolf the pain of death and slyed it in his slumber. She would note this in her mind. Ryuho was very kind hearted.

After Ryuho gave farewells to Syndra, Syndra would reply with placing her hands in her pockets and smile slightly. Appearing as a kind woman. "Take care, Ryuho." She said in a calm voice, before turning to head back to the village to report the mission to the elders.
