Snippet #2197444

His pearly orbs raised an eyebrow at Atsuko's knowledge of the girl's name, before figuring that it was probably because her Anbu status cleared her to be able to look through the usually encrypted files of the other Shinobi of the other surrounding villages. She may look like the former Hyuga heir but the thought was rapidly turning more incredulous by the second. He quickly diverted the thought into thinking that she looked like most of the other females in his own Clan. The dark hair, pale skin, and soft facial features-not to mention the eyes-were shared closely with all the relatives of the Hyuga. Then the other Hyuga, 'Harumi', blatantly stated that the Main House hasn't informed him of her, he found himself stepping forward reflexively, narrowing his eyes, but quickly stopped when Atsuko announced she would spar with her, only to be waved away dismissingly.

Her mocking tone irked something inside of him, as if she were damaging his Hyuga pride. He was unconscious to whatever Raiden said afterwards, something about being an Uchiha and not wanting to fight her. The female Hyuga then shot a scornful remark at the young Uchiha before shooting a glance at Takao, telling him not the tell the other Hyuga. Oh definitely not... wouldn't want to get in trouble for accidentally killing a distant family member. Facing Atsuko, the girl announced the rules and stripped herself of her weapons. Takao slightly smirked, unsheathing his weapons, before leaning into Atsuko. "Make sure to throw in a punch in there for me." He murmured under his breath while making his way to where Raiden currently situated.

He stopped midstep though, when he felt a different chakra appear out of thin air. In less than a second, he had a sword pointed towards the cloud of dust where the new intruder landed, lightning chakra crackling on the tip of the blade. When the cloud cleared, it revealed a blue haired female a few feet off the ground being held up by what looked like ribbons. Takao wasn't in the least surprised, he's seen many different unique things that Shinobi have managed to do with a little Chakra, controlling ribbons was probably the least intriguing of all of them. There was something strange in her chakra though, something deep within, barely sensible, but there. He first noticed it in Harumi, but now it was also in this girl. She took her time dusting herself off before finally noticing her audience, her face blushing red.

"Um... This... Isn't what it looks like." Takao let out the monotone, Hyuga reply, "Hn." before increasing the chakra channelled into the tip of his blade.

"You're from Suna." He stated, with one glance at the clothes. "You have ten seconds before I have all rights to capture you and bring you to the audience of the Hokage." He didn't know whether Atsuko would stop him, like she's done some times before, but he was serious about the invader, it wasn't the first time Ninja from the other village have tried to obtain the secrets of the Hyuga eyes and he wasn't willing to take any chances especially with the rising tension between the villages.
