"He's our age! Let's just beat the shit out of him and move on already!" The leader of a gang of delinquents announced, the tall boy standing at five feet and eleven inches just gave the OK for the other four of them, all of which were five feet and two inches, to attack the confused Aiden. He was told to go out and search for this group of idiots but to his surprise and great amusement he didn't even have to go far. At this nearby store which usually served fresh foods such as camel meat, herbs, and an assortment of fruits and vegetables he noticed that a group of kids, all of which matched to look and age description, were there, having scared off the shopkeep and were now eating some of the food that is kept out for purchase. He wouldn't have really paid them a second thought as the idea didn't click in his head until one of them had stepped in front of the Genin, telling him to give them whatever ryo he had. He still remembered what that kid looked like, how he seemingly had greasy, dusty brown hair, a tattered tan shirt and a pair of shorts, tanned skin, and the face that screamed that at the most the kid was thirteen years of age.

He also recalled when he turned around, smacking the child with his tail, leaving a red mark upon the kids' cheek and the kid himself on the ground, wondering what had just happened. That had got him into the situation he was in right now, where he was surrounded by the other four, with the harmed kid himself getting up and standing behind the leader, glaring at Aiden from behind him, a face that almost clearly showed he was trying to hold back tears. Aiden himself looked around him present day after the leader gave the okay, trying to see if anyone else wanted a try at the five foot four inches tall Genin. Honestly, from the looks of each of them, the fifteen year old wouldn't have even guessed they were drop outs, let alone wannabe Genin that know the Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Honestly, looking at them, they look almost as bad as he did when he broke out of captivity, though unlike him they weren't smart enough to even try to make something of themselves. Honestly, all he could see out of this wasted potential of a group is a bunch of kids that didn't even want to be a Shinobi for decent reasons. Aiden could somewhat relate to that, though while he originally fell into the job, wanting it for fun, he now wants to grow as one in order to change things, to help people. These kids on the other hand are around his age and refuse to see that they're doing nothing but being lowlifes, and his blood could almost boil at the idea of that. "You wouldn't be able to beat me even if there were ten of you. You're just a group of losers." The Genin would respond with a cocky smirk as he would kneed his Chakra, all the while immediately attacking one of the fifteen year old delinquents that was standing on his left, his left hand's claws clawing through the clothes on his chest, leaving four scratches that bled lightly from just grazing the male.

As he turned to face him his tail would whip at the one behind him, making him dodge it just enough for the tip to graze his nose, making his eyes widen and he himself pause just enough for Aiden to reach out to the newly injured delinquent, his left hand grabbing the male by the shoulder, holding him there just long enough for his right hand to punch the boy in the left cheek hard. A mist would begin pouring out of his mouth as he attacked him, beginning to quickly fill the area they were in, blinding all of the boys as Aiden kept his hand on the one, his knee rising up into the young male's stomach, where he could hear him cough and gasp for air as it knocked the air out of him. After that he would finish he assault on this delinquent by using his right hand's claws to pierce into the flesh behind the boy's knees, causing him to not be able to run without being in pain.

To Aiden it was only natural for him to use his claws like this. It's the only way he can make sure the boy didn't recover and try to run. While he attacked that one he could hear the leader yelling to the rest of the pack to get up higher, to get out of the mist so they can see him. Aiden also followed these directions, recklessly jumping out of the spreading hidden mist and onto the rooftop of the store, where two boys would attack him, one jumping up and attempting to bring his leg into the side of the Genin's skull while the other tried to punch him, attempting an uppercut on him most likely as a means to stop him from ducking out of the way. Aiden would bring his arms up, his hands grabbing a hold of the kicking male's shin, lessening the damage as it would just barely hit him in the head, though not enough to stop him from forcing the male into the ground, throwing him away, only to his surprise a puff of smoke would blind him, allowing him to feel his lower teeth slam against his upper as he got struck in the lower jaw, making him stagger and nearly fall backwards and off of the building.

He would recover just in time, however, as he would be able to headbutt the other fifteen year old directly in the nose, seemingly breaking it as he would put his right leg behind the male, pushing against him and making him trip to the ground, where Aiden would raise his hands to his mouth, looking as though he were playing a trumpet as a jet stream of water flew out, hitting the fifteen year old male directly in the groin area, leaving a series of minor bruises being left behind as the male was incapacitated, most likely for a while. At the point Aiden wondered where the rest would be as he would look down at the mist he made, only to see it begin to clear up due to being only partially complete before he had to finish attacking them. Sighing, he realized he lost them, making him have to climb down from the top of the building and figure out where to go next.

Reaching the ground in front of the stall, Aiden would look around and on the ground, trying to find out if anything about their footprints would tell him where they went, only for him to begin to realize that they pointed towards the shopping stall. With a sense of panic, the Genin would look behind him, only to get hit in the face with a stool, knocking him to the ground and making him black out for a moment or two, just enough for him to feel three sets of feet begin to kick him. In a panic he would try his best to form the Monkey, Horse, Dragon, Tiger, Ox, Rat, and Snake hand seals, where he reached out to the pair of feet that were hitting him in his stomach, and the paralyzed body of a fifteen year old would fall on top of him, accidentally knocking into the second pair of feet, leaving one pair left, though despite the bruises Aiden had at this moment, he was able to scramble up from underneath the paralyzed fifteen year old and, in a blind, panicked rage, would immediately lunge towards the leader of the group, the final pair of feet that were trying to kick him down.

Tackling the leader in the gut, Aiden would knock him down, where he would punch him as hard as he can in the face, feeling his right knuckles crack as he drove his fist directly into the male's left eye socket, making the area around it already begin to show some discoloration as he would bring a second, lighter punch to the older male's throat, which would be just enough to make him gasp for breath as he laid on the ground, coughing. Looking down at the paralyzed male as he stood up, Aiden would raise his foot up and slam it on the back of the fifteen year old's head as hard as he can, most likely knocking the boy out. Finally, all that was left was the thirteen year old he harmed earlier, or two of them, as he had the time to cast a shadowclone, though even with one he was seemingly trembling with fear as he stood there, trying to keep a fighting stance. "Give up. You saw what I did to your friends." Aiden would say as he glared at the younger male, his bruised face already beginning to swell a bit.

Whether it was out of anger, or out of fear, the boys would charge at the Genin, though Aiden's left arm would already have its' claws tear into the clone's chest, making it pop into a puff of smoke as his right hand would wrap tightly around his neck, mimicking what Zaiaku did with him before by accident, where he held the thirteen year old in the air, making him struggle as he tightened his grip before the boy's eyes were beginning to roll to the back to his head, in which Aiden let go, allowing the younger boy to drop to the ground. "This isn't a game, kid. Just stay down, it's over." Aiden would say as he put his left foot gently on top of the thirteen year old's back as he coughed and gasped for breath. He was honestly angry enough to do more, but seeing the kid as he is right now, with tears dripping from his eyes and struggling to catch his breath, he knew it really was over. Taking his foot off of the boy, he would begin to round of the gang of delinquents, turning them in. After that, he would begin to head home, unsure whether or not he actually went too far.
