Kokai would stand outside the bar as he contemplated what was to be expected of him here. His mission had stated that the bazaar had asked for more shinobi patrols and so he would be paid to put down any issues. People were restless but then again so was he. Nothing to do but wait for the next fight and train. He couldn't afford to lose a fight. In order to regain his honor he needed to be stronger. But bills still needed to be paid and he still had a job to do. So for now he was taking that break from training. His cold eyes shifting down the street as the rain drizzled off the overhanging tarp above the doorway over him. Splashing into the ground below in a near stream like state. The rain had come for the winter and soon it would be snow. For now though his crimson eyes just watched it hit the ground. The closer the water was to him the more solid it became into a frozen puddle until at his feet it was frozen solid. He had been there for a minute after all. Just posted up and waiting for something to happen. Waiting for anything interesting. Harichimo hadn't contacted him recently so he wasn't looking to wait on that squad crap anymore. He could go visit the guy but doubted that would help. Oki was likely still growing stronger ahead of him somehow and that bothered him a little. Still he would bide his time and perfect his taijutsu.

For the moment he was standing in the doorway or rather just to the side of it where it was dry to a rowdy bar. Some redneck none sense. Big whiskey he thought he remembered seeing on the sign. He was wearing black boots and blue jeans with a tank top and a yellow hoody zipped up over it. The hood resting on top of his head as he yawned and stretched. There was very little going on but he had to be there. His muscles felt a little sore honestly to himself and he partially wished they had offered him a chair but he wasn't really a priority for the bar that had hired him. He was little more than some hired muscle if they needed it. However this particular bar was used to needing some extra power to kick out some ruffians. Punks who couldn't handle their booze but drank anyway. He wasn't looking forward to scrapping with idiots but he would when the time came anyway. Once again he checked his fist wraps to make sure they were still tight and dry...making sure to keep his knuckles protected should he have to punch some dude in the face. Still he would simply sigh and lean back against the wall as he waited for closing time. Bars had to close after a certain hour so the bunch inside would be stumbling out soon and bound to fight about something. Who was taking the girl home or bumping into each other too much. Maybe just not having a smoke. So simple these people. The party scene wasn't for him.

Still it wouldn't take long for the bar to close and people to herd outside. Cattle brought here by the promise of entertainment. He watched them walk by him one by one with his crimson eyes taking in every detail. Riff raff and ruffians that didn't know how to be proper adults. Perhaps they were just letting off steam. Either way they just needed to move the herd away from him. Each of them shivering and taking in their coats around them a little more as they passed by. His aura sending chills down their spine before they even made it into the street. It wasn't a surprise really. These people were weak and even some discomfort made them uneasy. A majority of them made it outside and towards their homes at least before the last of the group was making their way outside. One of the last few was a girl running outside with tears in her eyes. She looked at Kokai as she passed him and he saw the fear there. Whoever was going to come charging out that door was after her and she had no way of protecting herself. All she could do was run away and so she was.

With a sigh he rolled his neck and pushed himself up off the wall. His red eyes looking to the door as he moved calmly to the center of the exit. A small ramp with walls on both sides leading to the street. A glance over his shoulder told him she was making good time. He would just need to buy her another minute and likely she would be home free. Damn weak spots for pretty girls in tight spots. Still as the doors swung open in front of him two larger men came bustling out. Muscles were all well and good but that seemed to be all these two were. Not an active brain cell between them. The way they frantically tried to look passed him told him these two were the ones looking for the girl. As they stepped forward into his aura though even they noticed him. The two froze where they were as Kokai watched them quietly. They could feel the intent to do them harm in the air. They could sense the alpha in him and knew they were not getting passed him without a fight.

The two would glance at each other a moment before nodding and then moving forward in a full charge. Basic with no form and full of openings. He could see they had been drinking and were probably just a little rough with the girl. She obviously wasn't having any of it. Still as they reached him the one on his right went for a tackle and the one on his left raised his fist to throw a punch. Weakness was all Kokai saw. They were slow and belligerent. He wouldn't tolerate it. As silent as the night he stepped to the left and shifted his foot so he tripped the one on the right while his left hand shot out and slammed against the other mans jaw. Both stumbled dissoriented before Kokai moved again. His left foot lifted and planted against the wall as he brought his knee up into one mans chin and his elbow down on the back of the other mans head. Both of them hitting the floor.

Still ask Kokai would back up his eyes took in the two enemies. If nothing else their large bodies seemed to have taken the brunt of his basic taijutsu well. People were starting to clear out and the bartender was locking the door to the bar but these two were beasts. He could already see them getting their bearings back after those hits and getting back on their feet. He had only ever seen one person outside of the training quarters get back up after heavy hits like those. Still they were slow and dumb. He would simply have to kick things up a notch. So he would back up and prevent any chance of getting grappled as he considered how to handle these two dogs. Drunk as they were they didn't bother trying to communicate or strategize. They just wanted revenge for taking hits. So they were going to come at him and forget the girl.

His orders were not to hospitalize them so he had taken it rather easy and not used any chakra. Now he had backed up into the open street as he watched them straighten up and roll their shoulders. Moving into the light now. The one on his right was a bald man with no facial hair other than his eyebrows. Heavier set but appeared to be a weight lifter. His too tight T shirt was the evidence of that. A black T shirt with blue jeans and boots. To the side of him was a slightly taller man with a dark beard that stretched across his entire face and his hair tied back up in a pony tail. By the look of him he attended the same gym. He too was wearing a too tight t shirt but this one was blue. His pants were black with boots over them. They were about to come at him now and he knew it.

Quietly Kokai waited for them. He knew they would come to him again but this time slower. His heel shifted as he slowly prepared himself. He would let out a breath as he focused a tiny amount of chakra into his body. He would watch them as they drew closer and closer at a walking pace before seeing them suddenly launch forward to try and grab at him. Suddenly he would spin around with his heel out and catch the bearded one with it in the gut as the chakra surged out. The man would lift upwards and flip around wildly before landing two meters back. A huge toss for the moment but it cleared it up for a one on one fight. The bald one had slowed to see his partner fly back before turning back just in time to catch Kokai's next attack.

Kokai hadn't stopped when his foot connected but rather followed through. Already his heel was dropping on the back of the bald mans knee and bringing him down to his level. As soon as the bald man dropped to one knee he would slam forward with a flurry of blows to the mans face as he drove him back onto his ass. With that one clearly dazed he would spit and move over to the other one slowly getting up and viciously soccer kick him in the face too until he rolled over with a groan. With both of them rolled over and unwilling to get up Kokai would hold up a middle finger before he would turn and head out. Leaving the whole mess for those two to limp home after. The girl was gone anyways so his mission was over.
