Realizes he had been standing in the middle of the woods for nearly two weeks. Maybe longer? A month? Two? There was no telling how long he had simply been standing there, motionless, still as a statue. Not doing anything. It was rather odd, for someone to stand, enduring the elements, without nourishment or sustenance. But somehow or another he had managed it. And he didn't feel hungry. Or thirsty. Or tired. He should have dropped dead long ago.
He looked around, wondering what had come of the others.

Emerging from a portion of the forest, and into the camp, the lone rifleman would appear annoyed, the frown tugging at the corners of his mouth slightly.
"The leaders of the allied forces were filled with incompatence, I watched them fire upon one another, the entire sight of it sickened me so much that I had to leave."
He looked around the encampment, then off toward the town. It didn't take him long to cant his head to the side to speak to Hitoshi who was off to the side.
"We can't allow this place to fall under the rule of fools, my friend. We should take it and protect it as our own."
His free hand would span over the landscape, which seemed peaceful, aside from the local magistrait's troops patroling the village.
"They would be safer with us, than with them after what I have seen."

He glanced over towards Saito, his thoughts slowly registering. That's right... he had approached the Shogun, and had been ignored. Then was supposed to participate in a battle, which seemed to drag out. How he had been in two places at once, he had no idea. That seemed odd. Reflecting upon it, he finally decided not to question the prior events, and simply move on.
"You're right. We are competant in our strategy and forsight, and should most likely give the people our utmost, considering the fact that they have practically entrusted Nagato to our care. We have simply to defeat the local ruler, and take the province under our command, then all will be set."

It was at that in which he replied.
"The local magistrate will be no problem, his troops will be few, especially with the Shogun pre-occupied with the foriegners. It should make things quite simple for now."
He looked now to the troops within th encampment.
"Perhaps a night attack would throw them off, and catch them off guard. Plus, the darkness will conceal our movement. What do you think?"
Without even looking to Hitoshi, he continued to examine the troops around them, they seemed ready, but since they were footment, equivalent to mere bandits at this point, they couldn't be completely sure of their prowess in battle.
