The last defender (K/da X oc)

Chapter 4 The Mission

As Hanzo and his team were traveling they found out that the Isles were not just battle-destroyed land, but there was pleasant nature as well, it must have been because of the fact that modern weapons did not exist here, so there was nothing much to destroy with. Hanzo, Rumi, and Rubashi were enjoying themselves, even tho they still had to pull the cart. They were now traveling on the second day, and nothing interesting happened along on their journey. But the night was coming close and they had to set up tents and a fireplace. The first night they discovered that nobody except Zaruro could build tents properly, so they had to leave him to do all the work on tents, while others were half-assing their job of collecting sticks for a fireplace. Today, however, Zaruro had finally enough and sat them all down and teatched them how to set up tents.

Zaruzo: "So, this is the last night before we reach the outpost and I've had enough of your incompetence, including you Takashi, I had expected that a seasoned warrior would know basics like this."

Takashi: "Hey, My job is to kill, not to set up tents."

Zaruzo: "Anyway, now follow my movements and Rubashi, no eyes will be needed to learn this, you need to be less dependent on your power."

As Zaruzo was building a tent Hanzo did not pay much attention, he knew how to set up a tent, he was just pretending not to know because he was feeling lazy. Instead, he was pondering about his dreams, it was strange, before he came here, he did not have many dreams, and yet when he got here he began to have way more dreams, they started as hopeful wishes that something happened differently, but now, they were turning into something else, and the voice was clearest it has ever been, but as always, it did not deliver the full message like always. His train of thought was brought to a halt as he felt something hit his head.

Zaruzo: "Are you paying attention Hanzo, or should I throw another slipper at you?"

Hanzo: "Yes sir, I was paying attention."

Zaruzo: "Are you sure you were paying attention?"

Hanzo: "Yes sir."

Immediately after Hanzo has said that both Rubashi and Hanzo leaned close to Hanzo's ears.

Rubashi: "You should have not said that, now you are going to get ass whooping if you don't build it, and he did not yet finish it, so good luck."

Rumi: "Yea, good luck, you are going to need it."

Zaruzo: "If you are so sure why don't you come show us how is it done then?"

Hanzo: "Alright, let's get down to it then, shall we?"

To the surprise of everyone, Hanzo precisely knew what to do and started to set up the tent faster and more precisely than Zaruzo himself. And when he got to the point Zaruzo stopped showing them how to build it to get Hanzo's attention, he did not stop,  he continues without any problems, and in a matter of a minute, the tent was set up.

Hanzo: "Was this good enough? Or shall I set up another one?"

Zaruzo then smiles.

Zaruzo: "Good job, but don't get snippy with me boy, others should do as well as you do, now you can go collect some sticks for the fire while others will make their own tents."

Hanzo: "Yes sir."

As Hanzo passed Rubashi and Rumi, Rubushi whispered something to him.

Rubashi: "Did you steam my eye or something, that was cool dude."

Rumi: "Good job, but I think you just set unnecessary attention to yourself, he will have big expectations now."

Hanzo then smiled and waved at them and went on his way to the treeline to collect some sticks. But he did not see a pair of eyes staring at him from one of the bushes in the tree line.
