His investigation into his disappearance brought him to a small bar in Fire Country. Not too far from the Hidden Leaf village, but certainly not very close. As soon as he entered the bar, he noticed that only the bartender was present. This was particularly strange, because this particular bar was regularly attended by rogue-nin and the occasional dirty shinobi from Konoha. There was a weird it at the back of the neck of the Jashinist and he had a bad feeling as he turned around, ready to leave the place. A group of five shinobi entered the bar and closed the door behind themselves.
From their appearances, two seemed to be related to the leaf village, and the other three were either unaffiliated or hid their allegiances well. The ringleader of the group spoke up “So you're the piece of shit brother of the girl we abducted. The Drifter, right? Isn’t that what they call you? You know, you've left a lot of bodies in your wake over the last few years." Airon remained silent as the men began to take out a different assortment of weapons. "Nothing personal, but with your reputation, the boss didn’t want to take any chances of you getting to him…So we’ve gotten to you first. And don’t worry, we’re gonna take real good care of your sister." Airon took in a deep breath, stepping into a stance that was probably unfamiliar to his opponents before releasing a loud Kiai. "I don't want to hurt you guys, you seem nice. Just tell me where my sister is and I’ll let you all go home to your crime and double lives." The ringleader started to laugh, followed by the rest of the shinobi. “You let us go? You’re full of yourself aren’t you?” Airon smiled behind his mask and shrugged.
The men started to creep in closer armed with tanto and kunai. Airon took a step back and got ready. Two men charged directly at Airon with their weapons held out. Airon side stepped and dodged the first attack while tripping and elbowing the guy in the back of his neck. The guy would trip and land face first into a bunch of glasses on the bar. Airon would deliver a roundhouse kick and connect with the second nin in the face, causing him to stumble over and hit the wall. Airon turned around and glanced back at the thug he knocked into the bar. With lightning quick speed, he unsheathed one of his Katana’s before his opponent had the chance to get up and stabbed it into his hand, pinning him to the bar.
The remaining three nin looked on and then at each other, not expecting Airon to be as vicious as he was. He turned back to the last three and saw that the second shinobi he had kicked had recovered and was running back towards him. Airon's reached forward and grabbed the man by his collar with his left hand before unsheathing his second blade with his right and sending it through the man's chin. Blood gushed from his mouth as his now dying brain caught up to the damage that had been done to him. Airon shot a cold look in the man's eye as he quickly pulled the sword from the shinobi allowed the man to fall on the ground.
He turned his attention the last three nin once more, focusing on the last remaining leaf shinobi. Airon remained calm and simply said. "Where is she?" The leaf nin, with an obvious fear in his voice responded, "We have her at our hideout nearby.” He fumbled a small map marking the direction of the hideout. “Look man we can-" Airon would cut the guy's sentence short as Airon through his blade towards the leaf nin. The blade flew forward with extraordinary speed and Airon watched as it impaled right into the shinobi’s head, killing him instantly. It had happened so fast, the remaining two rogue shinobi looked on in disbelief. "Let the rest of your people know I'm coming." The Jashinist said calmly right before the two men fled the scene. Airon looked back at the bartender. "Sorry for the mess." "Not your fault, you were trying to avoid the fight after all." Airon turned to leave the bar, saying a brief prayer for the sacrifices he offered up to Lord Jashin, slightly wincing while doing so.

[Zantou • Winter Solstice]
D-Rank Taijutsu Stance
The basic Stance of Zantou, the practitioner holds one blade forward, parallel to the ground, and holds the other high over the head, pointing toward the opponent. The low blade grants the practitioner the ability to quickly defend against an opponent's attack while the blade raised overhead allows the practitioner to either quickly attack or counterattack with a powerful downward swing or thrust. This pairing of defense and offense serves as one of the cores of Zantou's swordsmanship. Drawing in a deep breath, the practitioner also gathers up their energy and releases a kiai. This Stance allows the practitioner to ignore non-critical distractions and minor environmental factors, such as small amounts of excess heat, small amounts of excess cold, small amounts of fatigue, and even small amounts of pain, allowing them to focus entirely on their opponents' movements and the tasks at hand. While in this Stance, the practitioner is conferred with a +2 increase to Strength and +1 increase to Will Power but suffers a -2 penalty to Chakra Pool and -1 penalty to Control. The practitioner may end this Stance whenever they so wish.
