It was clear that we had lost this first moral battle. Morale could be seen dropping on all the faces of the Kirume Clan members. This was a minor clan. Every single one of the members aside from Keisuke's and my kids had a tight knit familial bond with each other. This was their cousin that just got raped and dishonored in public. With a display like that, it was hard to imagine defeating him in a sex battle. It also looked like he was strong on his own terms as well. There was nothing saying he had to be a kunoichi either. A tough ninja that could do well in both roles was a major threat to us. Being a Player made it even worse. The train was undeniably crowded. They were not idiots. A brawl here would bring too much attention. This would have to wait until we got to our stop. We were over an hour away. Riding along together made the tensions between us rise until we finally got off at our stop. It was the middle of Kintama City. I put my group a safe distance from the confrontation. I walked over to Rin as he was closest to me. "Let's have our squads team up." I said. Nothing.
Quite frankly, being ignored annoyed me. "Hey. I really need to-" was all I got out before he covered my mouth. "What the hell are you doing, Nagisa? Can't you see a big fight is about to break out!?" he hissed at me. I looked at everyone glaring at the enemy squad of ninja. Even Keisuke was taking an aggressive stance. Rolling my eyes, there was nothing to do but step back. I pouted in peak frustration. Everyone wanted to help fix Chihiro's fuck up with Manato. No one actually wanted to stop it from actually happening though. I went to my squad. "Let's go. You guys can find out where the entrance is. That's usually the first challenge of the exams." I said. "What about the others?" Yoru asked. "They all want to be silly. That's fine. But we're here to get you promoted, not to risk injuries right before the exams." I said as I ushered them away. They had no choice. 4 of them were in my household. It did not hurt to get them all a head start. When we got to their designated place, we were separated. I was supposed to take a back seat and simply watch them find their way in.
Ready, I was warned helping them in any way could get them disqualified from the exams. That did not mean we could not bend the rules. I told them about our time in the exams last year. I made sure to stress teamwork. The words were a bit hallow after abandoning everyone. They had cellphones for the purpose of this mission. They could text us if they found it. They then split up. It was my squad and my squad only. After an hour, Asa was the one to find it. He got the info by finding another squad and giving them all assjobs. I could not blame him as that was simply part of the job to use sex and espionage. It certainly did not please me. Accomplishing goals was the only thing that mattered. Apparently it was some independent shinobi from a remote village. It was their first time seeing a male kunoichi. "What happened to the guys you met? Will we have them as allies in the exams?" I asked. If I could not rely on the clan to have their heads in the game, new allies would be pretty great. Asa actually nodded his head. "All of them were getting ambushed when I found them."
