Mitsumi woke up with a sharp gasp from what Saitama was doing to her. It was only clear that he thoroughly enjoyed the new tactic. He was also floored when it was done back to him. It was only after he finally joined with her did they manage to recline back on each other with solid contentment.
"I can't…believe…what we…" Mitsumi sighed against him.
"Absolutely worth it," he chuckled and ran a hand over her back. The hungry kiss he gave her had sparked her body again, but all he did was hug her tight to his chest. At the sound of his phone ringing, he saw it was late in the morning before he rose up to answer it. "Hello? Um…we're just waking up. Why? Inichi told you, eh? Hmm. I guess. He'll let you know when we're ready to test the fans. Bane's dojo. Outside it. Yeah. Okay. Bye."
"Who…?" Mitsumi asked and got kissed to show things were fine.
"Sweet Mask would like to see what happens with the fans later. Damn. I was hoping for a day at home in full," Saitama sighed.
"You forgot we have to help Rendor today, too. We agreed to help him first, then we work on the fans to test them," she smiled. He blinked and groaned his disbelief. She laughed softly at him and moved to recline on him when he lay back on the bed in full.
"Yeah. I forgot…" he moped.
"You don't let me sleep much lately. Maybe we should just sleep one night?" she asked. Then she burst out into laughter from the look of disbelief he gave her before moving to pin her underneath him.
"You can sleep after we're done for the day, okay?" he said and pressed a kiss to her mouth. "I'll rest on that couch with you right next to me."
"And the restaurant?" she asked and groaned when he moved his hands over her. "I need to visit it at some point. Even for an hour."
"Hmm. Okay. After the fan testing," he said and glanced at the door when there was a knock. "Yes? Who is it?"
"Dad! Um…Kamikaze wants me to start learning about swords!" Fumio shouted through the closed the door.
"That's fine. He knows what he's doing," Saitama said. After a minute, he muttered, "It's…weird being a dad. I mean…it's not a bad weird…"
"It will take some time to get used to," she nodded. "So…should we get dressed in our costumes if we're going to help Rendor?"
"We need a bath first," he mused and blinked when both Tacki and Kianna walked in at Inichi's prompt. He moved onto his back to let Mitsumi recline on him again to help address them.
"We'll be quick! Also, I'll be training alongside Fumio," Tacki said when she began to get the water started. "Richoo will be here shortly to help with cleaning your clothes with Inichi's help. Zenchu is out there with King, Kamikaze, Rendor and Tatsumaki. Fubuki is also out there."
"Kamiko and Genos are at the restaurant. Also, that one guy you gave the prize money to? He's applying for a server position," Kianna chuckled.
"Wonderful!" Mitsumi beamed.
"Rendor is also outside talking to Shenjou. Ah, so you know, Child Emperor had recorded the entire amateur talent show. He's thinking it would be an awesome fund raiser for something to be done like that at Neutral Grounds with various heroes to show off their skills a bit," Tacki grinned. "If people wanted to even try out to be a hero, they could do that, too. If they felt they have what it takes, then they can do the official tryout at the association."
"Huh. It might work," Saitama shrugged.
"Child Emperor would also like to test the metal structure of the fans. If they are made of a meteor, he has a few ways to really tell," Kianna said and set up fresh towels and soaps.
"Okay," Mitsumi nodded. "I just don't want them damaged. If there were only ten sets of them made…well…"
"Right. They are extremely rare," Tacki nodded. "The base of the fans are easy to make. But those blades? Unless we find another meteor, if they are made of it, I don't think I can match that quality. Whoever made it had to be a master blacksmith. We really need those old texts."
"Yeah," Saitama nodded and let Mitsumi press into him. The moment Tacki and Kianna left, Saitama lifted Mitsumi out of the bed to carry her to the tub. He set her in first before following her into the water to sigh with relief. After five minutes of holding her and soaking in the water, they finally started to scrub each other off. After they were rinsed clean, he pulled her against him with a small grin.
"I wonder how you taste now…" Saitama mused.
"Ah…we have places to go today…" she blushed hard and gasped when he started to move his mouth over her skin. It was another twenty minutes before they finally left the bath to dress in bathrobes. He was simply carrying her out now. She was still a bit stunned from what he did to her.
"I wasn't that rough," he said with concern. "Was I?"
"Just…unexpected…" she said with soft pants.
"I'll try again later tonight after you've recovered," he nodded. Now she looked at him like he was crazy.
"What did you do to her?" Zenchu asked with a small grin when Saitama was seen carrying Mitsumi of the bedroom.
"We took a bath. She…tasted different," Saitama said and set her down at the table. Zenchu slammed a fist down and barked out laughter at it all. Now Saitama looked at him with mild irritation. "Don't damage the furniture! Anyways, we need breakfast."
"I thought you just ate some," Zenchu grinned wickedly.
"Shut up!" both Mitsumi and Saitama said together. She said it with embarrassment. He said out of annoyance. Then they looked at each other and found themselves laughing softly from it.
"That's awesome!" Zenchu grinned a bit wider and proceeded to serve them fluffy omelets with cheese, bacon and egg fried rice. Milk and orange juice was given over next for them to wash it all down.
"Hey!" Fubuki chuckled and sat with them. "I already had something with Inichi before he went to help with Neutral Grounds."
"Did Inichi eat you, too?" Zenchu had to ask. Her jaw dropped and Zenchu found himself dying with laughter from Inichi's mental berating.
"You're horrible!" Mitsumi grimaced. Now she got up and walked into the bedroom. Saitama watched her come right back out with the walking cane to smack Zenchu with it. Now Fubuki died laughing from all of it. Kianna and Tacki were in fits of giggles from what they saw. King was playing a game and had to pause to laugh now. Kamikaze had walked in to check on Tacki, and now he was holding his head in his hands to keep himself from laughing too hard from what he just witnessed.
"Ow! Oh, come on!" Zenchu said and now had to shield himself from it.
"It's either this or Saitama pinches you!" Mitsumi said.
"Hit me again with the cane, please," Zenchu said quickly and winced at another smack to his shin. Saitama was watching him with a calm, blank stare. "No. I took my punishment. You don't touch me."
Fubuki was in tears laughing and holding her gut now as were the others in the room. Now Mitsumi looked at Saitama and offered him the walking cane. Zenchu's jaw dropped and he was quick to hold up his hands. Saitama looked at him and asked, "You going to behave yourself now?"
"Yes! For now. Yes," Zenchu nodded.
"Good," Saitama nodded and gave the cane back to Mitsumi to put away.
"I guess it was good timing, eh?" Kamikaze sighed and shook his head after regaining control of himself. "I wanted to know when we were ready to help Rendor. I'll have Fumio stay here. Unless you want him with us."
"It may be best. This way he's not here alone," Mitsumi said. "I'm sure he'd be fine if he stuck with Shenjou, or even at the restaurant, but…we'll ask what he wants to do."
"I'll call him in," Kamikaze nodded. A minute later, Fumio darted in and got hugs from them.
"Mom! Dad! Um…what is it?" he asked. He was currently wearing a white novice training suit for young fighters with sandals.
"Did you want to stay here or come with us to help Rendor?" Saitama asked.
"Oh. Um…I'd like to come with you. He's my brother. So, I wanna help," Fumio nodded. Mitsumi smiled and kissed his forehead to show it was fine. "Mom! Stop that!"
"You should never deny kisses from your mom," Saitama said seriously. "It shows she cares about you. Anyways, if you want to come along, then it's fine. We're waiting on our clothes to get cleaned. When we walk outside, get ready to go. Okay?"
"Okay, Dad," Fumio nodded and ran back outside to practice his swing until then. Richoo was able to arrive and went straight to helping clean the clothes. Five minutes later, he came back over with a smile.
"My wife and daughter claimed a fifth floor room for now. Maybe later they can meet you?" Richoo asked.
"That's fine. The move was smooth?" Mitsumi asked.
"Yes, Lady Mitsumi. We never had much, so it wasn't too bad of a move," Richoo nodded. Saitama nodded and now rose up with her to get dressed in the bedroom. He was soon fully dressed, but she was checking over her costume as she put it on. She smoothed out the tank top part and the skirt before fitting on the slender belt. Then she took up the gloves to examine them.
"Hmm…" Mitsumi said when she put the silken red gloves on.
"What's up?" Saitama asked and moved behind her to pull her close and kiss her cheek. She leaned back into him and took out one of the crane fans.
"I don't know if I can wear gloves with these. Unless I just have half gloves on and paint my nails red," she mused. "The silk seems to deter the fans a little. See? I have to push down a bit harder to make the fan and blades respond."
"Hmm…" Saitama frowned on watching her activate the fans. "True. You should be able to wear half gloves, then. I don't want anything to get in the way of how you have to defend yourself."
"Right," she nodded. "For performance fans? They work fine with gloves. They are designed to work with gloves on my hands for costumes. But these? They need fingertips for best effect."
"Right," Saitama nodded in agreement. "We can talk to Tacki."
"Okay," she nodded and slipped the yellow bangles on that held her scarf sleeves. The small red shoes with pumps were next, and he escorted her out to find Tacki. "Tacki! I could use your help!"
"Oh! With your hair?" Tacki asked from where she was in the main room.
"That, too, but the gloves. I need them to be half gloves to expose my fingers. The crane fans don't work well with gloves," Mitsumi explained. "We can paint my nails red to make up for it."
"Oh! Yeah, I can fix that. Kianna can work with your nails while I set up the gloves," Tacki said and took the gloves. Kianna was quick to move from King's side to show she was ready. Mitsumi sat in Saitama's lap so he could watch the television, and Kianna was able to work on her nails.
"Good thing we have a bit of nail polish," Kianna chuckled.
"When did you get all this?" Mitsumi blinked at the small nail salon kit.
"We got it from the market last night. Tacki's idea," Kianna said and carefully painted the red polish on after applying the first gel coat with the UV lighting. The protective coating was put on after and lightly cleaned up with another UV light exposure. "I watched a few videos to show how to do this."
"You did amazing!" Mitsumi beamed. Saitama now looked at her nails and chuckled with appreciation. Kianna now did a quick nail file buff to ensure nothing would snag on them before nodding that she was done. "I wonder what people would pay to get nails done by a monster…"
"Um…huh…" Kianna mused before moving to help fix up Mitsumi's hair. "Of course, when I'm cured, I don't think that would be available again. I think we should just stick to food. I don't want chemicals in our restaurant."
"True," Mitsumi agreed. Kianna put away the kit, and Saitama pulled Mitsumi down onto him to let her relax.
"I love you," he said to her and got kissed.
"I love you," she said with a soft blush. Zenchu was suddenly at their side to pick up the remote and switch to a news channel.
"Inichi needs me to check something," Zenchu explained.
"Oh?" Saitama frowned. Now everyone stopped to look at the television to see how an announcement was made by the Takashi family. Miu was boasting that Daiki was being sent to a special retreat by Sweet Mask to fully work on his script. That had Zenchu musing with surprise. "Sweet Mask is hiding him. They think she may have it in her mind to kill him. So, he's going to be hidden away. Inichi plans to help keep Daiki safe this way."
"At least someone can still be considered family. For now," Mitsumi sighed. "I still can't…"
"I know. You let me be the one to talk for you. Okay?" Saitama said and kissed her lovingly. "I'm your Wild card. Play me against them."
"Okay," she said with a soft smile.
"Don't think about them," he said and looked at Tacki. "Can you ask Fumio to change? We are getting ready to go help Rendor."
"I can do that!" Tacki nodded. "And here!"
"Thank you," Mitsumi smiled and took up the gloves again. They were now set up to have her fingers exposed and come up to her knuckles like a set of elegant fighting gloves. She tested the crane fans and beamed at the intense response on them. "Good. This works amazingly well."
"Very nice," Saitama chuckled, kissed her forehead and now rose up with her. He saw Fumio dart in to change into some traveling clothes of a shirt, pants and shoes. Tacki was able to find some good shoes for him at the market, too, so he was fully ready to go. Saitama mussed up his hair a bit with a form of fatherly affection before leading the others out. He was carrying Mitsumi and found Inichi waiting with Tatsumaki and Rendor.
"Okay, let's head off. Shall we?" Inichi chuckled. "Genos is at Neutral Grounds with Tsuruga, Orotsu and Kamiko. A number of heroes are there, too, so all is well. They will reach out to me if anything goes wrong."
"It's time?" Tatsumaki smiled at Rendor.
"Yes. Let's go," Rendor nodded. Kamikaze, King, Kianna, Fubuki, Tacki and Fumio were quick to join the small group. Zenchu ensured the circle was tight around Mitsumi and Saitama before getting lifted into Inichi's bubble.
"Let's see…Lightning Max showed me where it was…" Inichi mused while they started to travel. The landscape quickly flew past them before they finally settled outside a jungle area that would become dense forest. He set them all down and silently scanned the area for thoughts. "We have guards."
"Where?" Rendor asked sniffed the air with Kianna.
"I'll scout for them," Zenchu said.
"No. Stay close," Inichi said. "Mr. Saitama, can you please clear a path?"
"Oh?" Saitama mused.
"Just punch straight in front of us. So, everyone stand behind him, please," Inichi advised. Mitsumi got kissed deeply before being set right behind Saitama's form to brace herself against him. He reared his right fist back and lunged forward for the sonic blast to rip through the trees and landscape. The two sentries that were there were now staring at them through the cleared jungle with gaping jaws.
"Hi. We're here for an artifact. Where is it?" Saitama calmly asked and pulled Mitsumi back into his arms. "And don't lie. Lying is a very stupid thing to do."
"Ah…well…um…" the first guard said. Both guards were wearing brown cloaks and holding Bo staff weapons. They both seemed to have black hair that was done up in topknots of some kind under the hoods. Kamikaze chewed on his stick and had Tacki climb up onto his shoulders. Inichi had Fumio stay in the center of them all so Zenchu could help protect them. Rendor now stepped forward with Tatsumaki on his shoulder. He grinned and snarled softly.
"That artifact changed me," Rendor said. "I need to see if it can change me back. This was over a year ago."
"You have our beloved animal god's form!" one of the guards gaped.
"It found all of you unworthy," Rendor snorted to keep with the act. "Either lead us there or get beaten up. Your choice."
"I just wanna move them away," Tatsumaki said.
"If they don't move in the direction we want, go ahead," Rendor chuckled and got a fond pat to his mane.
"Our divine leader was destined for this form!" the other guard hissed out.
"Well, the shrine said no," Rendor smirked. "It would have been abused."
"Ah…what?" the first guard blinked.
"Yes. The shrine is sentient," Inichi chuckled. Fubuki let Fumio stand right next to her to further protect him. King now moved to help shield the boy a bit more with Kianna's protective gaze watching the two men.
"Ah…we didn't know that…" the second guard blinked.
"Just take us to the shrine. Now," Zenchu said with a small glare.
"Or what?!" the first guard scowled.
"I just made a path through the forest," Saitama said. "Do I make a path through you?"
"Um…this way…" the first guard now said. Tatsumaki seemed to huff, but she kept her eyes open for anything else that wanted to show up.
"No!" the second guard hissed out. Then he simply paused when Mitsumi darted around him with her crane fans flicking out. When she was back in Saitama's arms, he snapped his fingers for the cloak to fall apart into shreds. Then the Bo staff also fell apart into pieces. His stick-like pale figure just had a loincloth to shield him, and he cringed with shock.
"Amazing job," Saitama chuckled and kissed her passionately.
"Sharp blades," Zenchu grinned. "Nice job on keeping him from getting scratched, too. Anyways…I could use my claws…"
"You do know that we have a lot of S class heroes here, right?" Tacki giggled. "You gonna lead the way now?"
"I always feel like I'm just along for the ride now," Kamikaze sighed.
"Nah. Just exploring with me!" Tacki beamed and bent down to kiss his forehead. That got him grinning up at her.
"Shall we continue?" Fubuki asked and let her eyes flicker green. Now the guards were quick to run ahead for them to follow.
"Hmm…they hope to lure us into a trap," Inichi sighed. "Pathetic. Group up, please. I must take us there directly."
"Okay," King said and let himself get levitated with the others to simply move to where the shrine was. But they weren't set down.
"Miss Tatsumaki, would you be so kind as to rip a few trees out and swat away a few flies?" Inichi asked her. She grinned and was quick to start doing just that. With the ambushers neatly tossed aside, Inichi was able to gently land them in front of the bowl-like altar with runic animal images carved into it.
"Yep. This is it," Rendor snorted and pointed to where he left a small chisel mark on the very bottom of the stone bowl. "That was my last mark."
"No! You have the form that was to be mine!" a buff man in animal hides screamed as he ran at them. Then he paused with shock when Inichi simply lifted him up in a blue bubble. "What?! No!"
"We have no time to deal with you," Inichi said and now rose up his hands to simply encase him into a stone cage-like pillar. "That will hold you for now."
"Too bad Genos wasn't here. He'd be incinerating him," Saitama said with a blank look at it all. Mitsumi just sighed and nodded with agreement.
"My people! Help me!" the man screamed.
"Um…they're all unconscious," Saitama said.
"He's so annoying! Why won't he shut up?!" Tatsumaki growled. Kamikaze and King looked at each other and bit down hard on their knuckles to keep from outright laughing. Fubuki cringed and hid her face in her coat.
"Tatsi…" Rendor sighed.
"Sorry," Tatsumaki frowned and got her leg pat with understanding. "What do we do now, Rendor?"
"First of all, stand by me. I don't want you hurt," he said and let her float off his shoulder. "Thank you. Let me see. I set my hands…here…"
He now set his large, furry, paw-like hands on each side of the bowl. Then he roared from the energy that assaulted him. Kianna pressed into King's side, but she kept a close watch on her brother.
"Rendor…" Tatsumaki frowned, but she simply watched right there at his side. He looked at her now with his tiger eyes glowing a bright orange light. Even his lion's mane seemed richer and fuller when he regarded her.
"Tell me," Rendor said in a much deeper voice. "Would you want me to change forms? Will you help me remember who I am?"
"I said I would," she nodded. Then she pulled out the silk flower that Tacki made an inner pocket for. "I have this, too."
"The entity here…would like to share this body with me. It is…curious. As I lost the mindless will to attack, it wants to learn. So, it is willing to help me with tactics that it knows for countless years. In exchange, it can learn…other things that it could not learn before. It will not take me over unless the battle is urgent. It will also ensure I do not revert back to a monster state from moving to human and back to monster. A bonus. So…in order for this to happen, we must destroy this bowl. This way, I will be the only one to carry it around, in a sense," Rendor said.
"No! No!" the man screamed from the stone pillar.
"What will happen if you die, though?" Fubuki frowned.
"Well…should I have…children while the entity is within me…it could transfer to the oldest one," Rendor said. "However, my lifespan may be tripled from it. It's hard to say. This is just what I know and what is being told to me."
"Can we speak to it?" Inichi asked.
"Only if I agree to this. We would need to destroy this altar," Rendor said.
"Completely crushed?" Tatsumaki asked and started to hover into the air.
"Yeah. She can handle it," Saitama nodded and squeezed Mitsumi to him. "That shows true love to me."
"Huh?" Tatsumaki blinked and looked at Rendor. Now Rendor bent down to regard her and he held out his furred hand. She put her hand in his and let him gently squeeze it. She was still hovering, but it was only a couple inches off the ground to show she was waiting on what to do.
"I care a lot about you," Rendor admitted. "This…will be a big step. For both of us. We don't need to do anything now. But it's nice to know. Are you going to be there for me when I need it?"
"Yeah," she nodded.
"Okay. I don't know what my prior family would do if they see me as a human. But I know they would reject me if they knew I was staying as a monster. Inichi, really quick, give me their thoughts?" Rendor asked and sent him a mental image. Inichi paused and focused to sense them.
"Rather far off, but as they are important to know, I found them. Oh. I am sorry, Rendor. They moved on. Your prior wife…she claimed you died. She remarried. In fact…she was cheating on you…with the one she married…"
"WHAT?!" Rendor seethed and cringed with anger. Then he paused when Tatsumaki floated up to rest a hand on his mane. Then her other hand moved to pull his tiger muzzle towards her face to look into her deep green eyes. She gently wiped away a forming tear.
"I want you around. Monster and human," she said softly.
"Tatsi…" he whimpered and hugged her tight to him. "Destroy the altar."
"Okay," she nodded and focused for a massive boulder to simply get pulled from a random mountain somewhere and smash down on the alter to completely crush it. Now Rendor looked at her with shock. "What? I brought down a meteor on a giant lizard. He said only a meteor would kill him. So…I showed he was right. What is it now?"
"Remind me to never piss her off," Rendor now said to Zenchu and Fubuki. That got Tatsumaki to blink and blush with a small grin.
"Can do," Zenchu nodded.
"You can pull meteors to earth?" Mitsumi asked.
"I can. Why?" Tatsumaki asked.
"It's said these blades were made from a meteor. For my fans. We'll have to test something later. You can help me!" Mitsumi beamed. Tatsumaki grinned and nodded to show she would.
"Now…" Rendor said and regarded the caged man in stone. "You have a lot to answer for. You hold something around your neck. I need that."
"Like hell will I give it over!" the man spat.
"I need to collect it from him. Ah, I may have to kill him for it, though. I know we vowed to not hurt humans, but…" Rendor sighed.
"Is restraining not enough?" Inichi asked.
"No. I need to prove I am worthy. I need to hunt him down," Rendor said.
"I can turn a blind eye," Fubuki said.
"I have a portable game I can play," King shrugged and brought it out to show Fumio. Kamikaze looked at the caged guy and found himself interested in King's game with Tacki looking down over his head. When Saitama looked over, King grumbled, "No, Saitama. You're not playing it. You can watch."
"Aww…" Saitama pouted but ended up kissing Mitsumi to not pay attention. Tatsumaki nodded to Rendor and moved to watch King play his game. With all the heroes distracted now, Inichi snapped his fingers to dissolve the stone cage. Zenchu looked at Kianna and they sat down to wait.
"You have ten seconds to run," Rendor slathered and his form got larger to show he was now in a hunting mode. His harder chest cloth started to snap apart and the heavy pants strained from new muscle growth. Tacki made note of where it started to come apart so she could sew it back together later.
"This…no!" the man squealed and ran off. Right after ten seconds was counted, Rendor let out a heavy, snarling roar and chased off after him. Five minutes later, they all heard the screams and heavy roars of a successful hunt.
"Almost sounds like he got laid…" Zenchu commented. Now they all looked at him and it was Kamikaze that smacked him from being the closest to him. Zenchu just grinned and shrugged back at them all.
"You are just…impossible!" Inichi scowled at him.
"If I hold him in the air, you wanna pinch him?" Tatsumaki asked Saitama.
"Shit!" Zenchu hissed and merged with the shadows to escape. That got them laughing at it.
"If he comments again, sure," Saitama shrugged. Rendor was now seen walking back and holding a necklace that was similar to the one he gave to Tatsumaki. She blinked and held up her pendant now that she kept around her neck. He nodded and had her put his around his neck. Then he gasped and fell on his knees when the change back to human started. His hair was dark brown, fell in long locks down his back and shoulders, and the fur on his body reverted down into his skin. His muzzle reformed into his face consisting of a strong, square jaw and a rather noble look from how his nose was pointed, yet wasn't so prominent when he turned his face to the side to show a mild five o'clock shadow.
His eyes were a startling blue like looking at the ocean when he finally opened them to see that his body had reformed to what he was before. He was muscled, built for intense excavations and truly in his prime. When he stood up at six feet tall, he lacked boots and the clothes were a bit loose now, but he coughed to let his voice lose the gravelly tone to it.
"Damn…too damned long…" he grunted. "I think I'll just keep my name as Rendor. Kaito…is a name of the past now. Ah…Tatsi? What…are you…?"
"Mine!" Tatsumaki squealed and jumped onto him. That had him fall backwards with shocked laughter and raising up a pointed finger in the air. Fubuki's jaw dropped before she burst into her own laughter over her sister.
"Ah…yes! Yes! This is true!" he agreed and found his mouth smothered with hers in an intense kiss.
"So…is it the pendant…?" Inichi asked.
"No. I just wanted it because Tatsi has a matching one," Rendor grinned and finally managed to sit up with her in his lap. "I know you want to speak with the entity, but…can we wait a bit on it?"
"We can," Inichi chuckled.
"Top floor. Corner room on the right. That's our room," Tatsumaki said.
"And that means we go home. Or do we test the fans first?" Saitama asked.
"I think the fan testing first. Otherwise, ah…she may end up staying home. I know Rendor wants to witness the fans, too," Mitsumi smiled. Rendor got up to stand and let Tatsumaki possessively sit on his shoulder again.
"Yeah. I do. Lady Mitsumi, you are my baby sister. I will never abandon you. You have my word and gratitude," Rendor said and knelt before her. "As much as I know I will be with Tatsumaki for sure, your safety is a priority with hers. The moment you need me, I'll be there."
"That's fine," Tatsumaki nodded. "She saved your life. That makes her okay with me."
"Thank you," Mitsumi smiled. Inichi now made a gesture that it was time for them to head to Bane's dojo, and the group was able to pull together. Zenchu was a touch nervous, but he knew the threat had passed. Inichi just chuckled and made the blue bubble to levitate them away to head to Bane's dojo.
