There were so many bodies there...he didnt need to face them, look towards them. he could plainly see that they were there. The black haired male traversed the forest in a jade armor that cast a green reflection more vibrant than the forest itself. Something radiated off him...perhaps it was the staggering indifference in the male's pale Byakugan as he continued to walk at a brisk pace through the forest trailing behind the chakra signatures that he had detected entering the forest so abruptly before. There was still some ash on his heels, at the leg of his pant peeking out from under the hakama around his waist. The man was on a mission for answers - but it seemed that the only thing this forest did for him was present him with more questions. So perhaps the solution was not to seek answers....but to simply seek the right questions out of the scramble. There was rustling in the forest above him...but he payed it no mind, walking through the woods with his hands tucked into his tunic as he walk unbothered through the forest. The tension in the air was palpable...the only question was which of the beings here in this moment were the predator creating said tension...and which were the victim?
"Hyaaaaaaaaagh!"
A screech called out from above the man in the forest as the tree line above him parted revealing a cacophony of bodies hanging from spiderwebs there above. Like a curtain being pulled back on a butcher shop. The gigantic spider-witch strike downwards upon the male to land there flush on the ground a'top of the position he had been in. The woman laughed in a hysteria of coughed gags and chuckles that soon fell flat, realizing that the warm, oily wetness of human blood on her claws had not splashed upon her senses. She looked down beneath her to find herself empty handed, and then looked forward to find nothing - only to look back at the former length of the road and find the man still standing there with his hands in his tunic, unbothered silently gazing upon the giant spider unblinkingly. She was wounded...hurt by the ambush that had been planned by the Kappa...she'd underestimated her injuries and missed due to her own sloppiness - that had to be it. But no matter, she would feed and regain her strength - ready to strike again and finish her end of her deal with
that man. "You were a fool to go backwards, you should've run when you had the chance. I wont be so sloppy this time." She proclaimed to the Hyuga man that simply stood at ease, turning and readying her body to pounce once more as the man hadn't bothered to even so much as take his hands from his pocket. "Spider-witch." he started, his voice gaunt, deep and chest rattling despite the cold calmness that it held in doing so. "You are not who I'am here for. But it would seem that your time has run its course anyway. Your wounds are grave, and your mind ha become all but feral at this point. Were the spider totems such a grand prize that you'd not listen to your eldest sister and remain at her side? No...no there is too much weakness in you. The type of which I can not let flourish any longer in my garden. I shall excise the infirmity by mine own hand." Promptly so, with this being said he raised his hand from his tunic holding it in an almost Buddhist knife hand stance before his chest. In doing so he focused upon the woman, and in turn it seemed that she too did the same. Her eyes no longer wide - crazed and unfocused but narrowed...obviously scrutinizing the armor, the chiseled physique of his exposed arms, the hair and most of all...the Byakugan. She started to put the pieces together and it showed in how her stance became less wild and ready to pounce...and even more defensive. "Before you go. Tell me witch. A small group of shinobi accompanied by a man in a suit. Did you see them? Tell me and I may make this merciful upon you." he said as he awaited a response...either through verbal retort or one of physical violence the man did not seem it...but he was ready. Natural and relaxed as he were, combat was his natural environment. "Man in a suit? You'd think the Black Throne would come with those fools? So a vendetta is it?! You have to be him. Hayato Hyuga, one of the three to ascend from the Dragon Tiger gate to the school of the Jade Dragon. What would you even want wi-"

Suddenly the forest echo'd with a loud scream, chest rattling, blood curdling in the tone and pitch that it were. It was the type of scream that one would hear and surely know that the person damaged their own vocal cords in exerting from their body in the first place. The precipice of a reaction one could get from both pain and horror. Before she could even finish her sentence - the man had appeared before her, upturning and grasping one of her razor sharp talons and chopping it straight from her body. With that brandishing it as his own weapon he whipped the talon upwards across her thorax and face cutting the two open vertically only to be followed up by the man uttering:
"8-Trigrams Palm Revolving Heaven." and as he said this the expected would come...with a great twist. He would begin to spin and the resulting chakra revolution that would spawn forth would be a sunburnt orange haze. Scorching everything that it made contact with. For the spider witch this would mean a quick end - her carcass being peeled open from the point that she had been cut as her flesh was ripped from body and she was undone like a cheap sandwich wrap. her entrails spewing out only to be sucked into the whirlwind that was before her and instantly cremated there in the middle of the path. Soon her screams were drowned out by the subsequent evisceration and disintegration of her body. Once done the rotation stopped and the orb dissipated. Only to leave...nothing there in its place. Further up ahead on the road the man had already been walking down the road - casting aside the spider's discarded talon like a used broomstick as he continued on towards the gate town of the monastery. "All i needed was confirmation. Hm...he's not with them. Then...what was..." he continued as he disappeared off into the forest.
