After 20+ more bouts the spar would have to end as the shinobi returned from their mission, he bowed to Dimitri and then to his Shinobi. "What have you to tell me?"
He tossed the wooden weapons to the side where a young man was present to catch them and put them away. The lord stands straight and tall ready to receive the report, he glanced over at Okamoto who appeared to have noticeably sustained an injury, so the scouting mission had ended in conflict.

Dimitri would end the bouts with Nishida when the shinobi arrived. The man was very talented with his blades, it was encouraging to know that the leader of these forces could actually hold his own. As he returned his wooden staff to the practice weapon piole, he also removed his ring and went to pat off his accumulated sweat before putting his armor back on. If anyone was to notice, as soon as the ring left his finger, all his bruises received from Nishida would heal quickly, leaving no trace of injury.

Jou resisted the urge to scratch his throbbing hand. The stitches were still fresh as was the pain and he wasn't happy about it. Still his expression reveals nothing of his pain, it is straight forward and professional as he stand before Nishida.
"The bandits don't appear to be bandits at all, at least not in the traditional sense. The are better armed, better supplied, more numerous, and have more magic than any bandit gang should. They are either working with the local lord or some other powerful baker. I got confirmation that there leader is elsewhere in an overheard conversation. They had a detection ward around the whole town, so we were almost caught. To facilitate our escape we set fire to their grain stores. Depending on how much damage was done it might make a siege viable. Depending on how many additional forces their backer has available."

Age: 23
Physical Description: As most women of Katashima are, Kasumi is not terribly tall, and stands at an unimpressive 5'4". She has skin that is considered of average coloration for her people, slightly darker than that of non-Katashimans, and is of a slender build, with delicate features. Her eyes are almond-shaped, and are brown, although the exact hue changes with her emotions, ranging from dark to light and often flecked or streaked with gold; her hair, though often kept up and out of her way, falls to just past her shoulders, and is a sleek, glossy black. Though she appears weak and not at all like one would expect a combatant to be, she is muscular enough to do her job, and do it well.
----------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Typically, Kasumi wears an outfit that is both comfortable and easy to move in. This consists of a sleeveless, midriff-baring black shirt that gapes open at the sides, revealing the bandages wound around her bosom, on her top half; around her neck rests a loose drape of black cloth that can be pulled up to obscure the lower portion of her face. On her lower half she wears a pair of loose black pants that come to just below her knees, with slits at the hips, and held up by a belt, at the back of which are the sheaths that hold her two tanto, her favored weapons. Rounding off the ensemble is a pair of black sandals, the straps of which wrap up her calves to tie just below the bottom of her pants, and a set of fingerless gloves that stretch up to above her elbow, on top of which she wears sturdy steel gauntlets. Aside from the obvious pair of swords, she also keeps a number of shuriken and kunai in her belt pouches, along with small glass spheres filled with various poisonous substances.

Kasumi remained silent as Jou gave their report, adding nothing, for once. Her lips were pursed into a thin line and her dark eyes flashed coldly. It was the closest the stoic kunoichi ever came to showing her disapproval.. or perhaps her anger? There was a storm brewing within the diminutive woman, one which she tried very hard to keep unnoticed. But no doubt it would come to the fore when she spoke privately with Jou and Ketsueki later.

"I see. You've done well, if their storehouses are destroyed by fire, it means they have a limited food supply. With limited food supply, they cannot defend for too long without starving, at that point they either fight or surrender. I am concerned however that you say these are not bandits. If these are militia under a local lord, they will be slightly more difficult to combat, more professional. This strike to them will have lowered their morale however. I will have our own food stores counted and calculate how many days we could perform a siege. Doing this would be easier if we had proper siegecrafts and not just ladders and prototype gliders." Shintaro thinks of all the moves they could do. They could have a mounted force wait to ambush any resupply caravan.
"What about the people? The inhabitants of the town? How many innocent lives are at risk if we siege?"

"Damn, that's not good. I really would rather not have the deaths of innocents on me. There should be a way for us to take that town with minimum casualties. I'm open to suggestions, Yunxu (Ming Lee's honorific name) is still sleeping so I don't have his consultation yet. We're still testing the gliders, I'm not sure we'll be able to make use of them before the town gets reinforced."

"Too much about their capabilities is unknown. And we have no way of learning about them - we cannot get in and out without being discovered and attacked. Jou-san was badly injured, Akiyama-san was nearly captured, we were all nearly killed, and we only barely managed to escape. We cannot take this town. Perhaps if you had more men, but you do not. And you will not be getting any unless a miracle occurs. To pursue this action is folly. Nishida-sama."
The honorific was tacked on almost as an afterthought, and anger had begun to boil through the kunoichi's tone. She had to clench her fists and take a deep breath to keep from lashing out at the man before her, and then she forced herself to take a step backward, barely reining in her desire to hit him as she spoke again.
"We are going to go discuss the situation and try to discern if there is any possible way to do this thing. We will return when we have come to a decision." Turning away, she walked off toward where their tents were erected, then crawled into the tent she shared with Jou (simply because it was slightly larger and would more easily fit all three of them) and waited for Jou and Ketsueki to join her. As she waited, she dug a pot of salve out of her pack, finally allowing her anger, worry, and frustration to be visible on her face. She was furious. She'd also come to a realization: She didn't want to do this anymore. Nearly losing Jou, again, had terrified her. She didn't want to risk her life anymore, especially not for a would-be warlord who had shown nothing but incompetence.. and desire to see his will done with no care for what happened to the people enforcing it. She wanted a life with Jou, one where they could live in peace.. maybe even start a family. This thought made her smile slightly, but it was an expression that quickly faded into a look of stern determination.
Once the other two shinobi entered the tent, she looked up sharply, and spoke in a flat tone.
"This cannot be done. You both know it. Shintaro is going to get us all killed pursuing this mad dream. I for one am of the opinion that we should let the other fools continue to throw away their lives for him. I will not lose all that I care about again." Her gaze flicked to Jou. He was all she cared about now in this world, and they could've died in there. It was clear from her expression what she meant.. and what she was thinking. She was suggesting they should leave.

Dimitri would join back up with Nishida after he equipped his armor. He would have thought the shinobi would have still been around discussing their next course of action, then again, it was a long night for them, evident by the intriguing light show the night prior. At least according to the sentries who were on watch during the night, it must have been quite the spectacle. First the walls turning blue, then the red light above, and the various fire effects, it all sounding like a lot of fun to Dimitri and he was sorry he missed out.
As he approached the Warlord, he could feel an odd sensation within the air. Not from himself, but from troops that might have heard the shinobi and Nishida speaking. He quickly shook his head to clear his thoughts, thinking he was imagining it. "Hey Nishida, what is going on? What was the report from your shinobi?"

Ketsueki was last to enter the tent, and didn't meet the gaze of her fellow kunoichi. She could feel the venom in the woman's words... and in all truth, her resolve was shaken. Even though they were well away from the walls of the village, she was still rattled. She tucked herself off to the side, not wishing to be a burden between the pair of them, and managed to ease herself down to sit upon her knees. It was only then, when most of the weight was off her legs, that she felt the tremor.
She kept her breathing even, trying to not break down. Her hands came to a fold in her lap to help keep them from trembling. When she felt she could speak normally she lifted her head and looked at Kasumi and Jou. "... we don't have the forces for this. Nay, we have none. These are people like myself, granted... none of them have my training, but are refugees. We can't hope to take that village in a war front storm with nothing but farmers and craftsmen."
The more she spoke on it, the heavier her heart sank into her stomach. Her gaze trailed down to her hands, and she leered at them as she noticed they were still quivering. She silently cursed herself - she had to get herself to calm down. Her mind was spinning and emotions were running high.

Jou is silent for a long moment. When he speaks his voice is not angry, only thoughtful.
"It doesn't matter that he doesn't have the resources. He doesn't have the stomach. He wants to be a conquerer, but doesn't want to risk the enemies civilians. I told him he could siege and his first question is what may happen to the innocent. Admirable morality, but if one wishes to conquer they must be willing to make sacrafices. Especially when those sacrafices are the lives of the enemy."
Jou lapses into silence for another long moment.
"I only swore to him because you did Kasumi. If you leave I will follow."

Kasumi nodded at what Ketsueki had to say, then looked at Jou, her lips pursing as she nodded to agree with him as well. Then, uncaring of the fact that Ketsueki was there, she reached over and took his hand. The girl likely already suspected their relationship anyway, and she didn't care to hide it. He was hers, she was his. And that was all that mattered. And she said as much as she spoke in a soft voice.
"I made a poor decision. I initially swore myself to him because I had nothing left. Then you came back into my life.. and I almost lost you. Again. It made me realize that I do not wish to do this anymore. I want to find a quiet place where we can start a life together.. if that is what you wish as well." Her brown eyes were filled with a mixture of hope and longing as she gazed at him. Jou was her life. She loved him.

"Very well, take care of your wounds." Shintaro would tell the Shinobi before they left. He turned Dimitri, "Ah, well the town may be more formidable than we first thought, they aren't bandits, but militia of a local lord. In their escaped they burned down a storehouse of food."
Shintaro wipes sweat from his brow, "I don't believe the Shinobi have a good opinion of me right now. That's fine, they don't have to like me very much to fulfill their service to me. I want your opinion on whether we could siege that town, or if staying here and continue training the men would be better, though an enemy waits below us in the valley. While we have an opportunity now, It may be a better option to just hunker down and increase our strength. Hmm."

Jou looked at Kasumi's hand in his. For so long this easy affection had been the only thing he wanted. Now it was his and he felt whole. Raising her hand to his lips he kissed her knuckles.
"I want you to be happy. If that is what will make you happy than that is what we will do. I can think of few things I want more than starting a new life with you."

A look of pure happiness crossed the kunoichi's normally stoic face, and she gently squeezed Jou's hand. Then her gaze turned to Ketsueki, and her expression became much more serious as she spoke.
"What will you do, Akiyama-san? I would like it if you came with us. Staying with Shintaro will only get you killed, or worse."

Dimitri was honestly perplexed. The fighters of the village were the militia of a local lord? That did not make sense, did it? There was far more going on here than was originally anticipated, and those shinobi were the only ones with the knowledge needed to decide what to do next. "You should have Kasumi, Jou and Ketsueki join us in your command tent. If you want my opinion, those three need to explain what they saw in that village far better than they have. If it is dire enough, I would even suggest abandoning your little conquest altogether. Better to march home empty handed than decomposing in a mass grave." He walks towards the command tent, leaving the shinobi to Nishida to summon. With the warlords wording, it may seem they will lose the majority of their strength if those three should leave.

At being addressed her head would snap up, but her eyes - the only mark of her expression visible - were far from easy.
"... I do not know. I... I came here to assist the warlord in his trek for a new home. Running out a few bandits, possibly. That would be nothing. But after last night... I am unsure. I've much riding on this venture..." Her hands couldn't remain still in a fold at her lap and they parted, coming up across herself and rubbing along her own arms in some form of self comfort - as well as having difficulty holding the woman's gaze.

On her lower half she wears a pair of loose black pants that come to just below her knees, with slits at the hips, and held up by a belt, at the back of which are the sheaths that hold her two tanto, her favored weapons. Rounding off the ensemble is a pair of black sandals, the straps of which wrap up her calves to tie just below the bottom of her pants, and a set of fingerless gloves that stretch up to above her elbow, on top of which she wears sturdy steel gauntlets. Aside from the obvious pair of swords, she also keeps a number of shuriken and kunai in her belt pouches, along with small glass spheres filled with various poisonous substances.

Still holding Jou's hand, Kasumi tilted her head and peered intently at Ketsueki. There was an expression on her face of great concern for the girl, and she pondered her words for several long moments before speaking again.
"I understand. We were also displaced, and I clung to Shintaro's purpose because I thought I had nothing else to live for. But he is pursuing a madman's dreams. He does not have the forces to take this town, and he mistakenly believes he does. If we remain, he will order us to do things that will more likely than not see us dead. There is much more to life than following orders, and we should not have to die for his ambition." She hesitated briefly, then softened her tone.
"I am not trying to tell you what to do, Ketsueki. I am only asking that you give this a great deal of thought before deciding anything. Should you choose not to remain, you will have a place with Jou and I, wherever we may go. I feel that there is a place out there better suited for us. Call it intuition."

Shintaro agrees with Dimitri, "They have injuries to tend to, I'll call for them when I believe they've got it handled. I'll send someone over to them to summon when ready."

Ram Jam would swing by the shinobis' tent and make his presence obvious. "Hello, I wanted to commend you guys, we had a good operation, nobody died on our side."
