[X] Well, Tenryu just told you that he moonlights as a vigilante. Tell him that unless he gives you the information you want, you'll tell Byakuren about his little attempts at justice.

"Alright, I'll help you take out those yakuza!" you exclaimed.
"Shh! Not so loud!" Tenryu shouted with similar volume.
"Ah! I'm sorry!" you shrieked.
"STOP SCREAMING!" Tenryu screamed.
"I CAN'T!" you shouted back.
"SHUT UP!" the restaurant owner yelled, poking her head out of a window of her restaurant.
Both you and Tenryu nervously chuckled before walking away. As you walked, Tenryu began to speak once more. "Okay, first part, we gotta find you a mask!"
"What for?" you said, making sure not to shout again.
"To hide your face, duh! You can't just take on the yakuza without hiding yourself." Tenryu explained. "I got this super cool dragon mask just for the occasion!"
"Couldn't we just use the transformation jutsu? Seems a lot easier than having to wear a mask." you pointed out bluntly.
"I never thought of that!" Tenryu grumbled, slapping his forehead with his palm. "But my mask is so cool though..."
"True, masks are way cooler than transformation. I think I'll go with that then! To the mask store!" you declared.
"Yeah!" Tenryu cheered, pumping his fists into the air. After a few more minutes of chatter, Tenryu led you to a clothing store, apparently where he bought his mask, and brought you to the section of the store with masks lined up on the walls. "Don't worry, this time I'll pay for the mask!"
"I thought you didn't have money." you said.
"Yeah, but I forgot to check my other pocket!" Tenryu proudly said, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a wad of money.
"I'm just gonna ignore that I used my money to pay for your meal then." you sighed, looking at the selection of masks.
Which one caught your eye the most?
[] The mask that looked like a tiger. Why not look like Raksha when doing his missions, eh?
[] The long nosed, red faced mask of a tengu! It looks cool, and that nose is hilarious!
[] A plain white mask with two eye holes. Very simple, but you like the minimalist design.
[] Oh, instead of a normal mask, why not wrap your face in bandages like Zabuza? That would be neat!

Arc 1: Chapter 32
Winning Vote: A plain white mask with two eye holes. Very simple, but you like the minimalist design.
You noticed a plain white mask, adorned with only two eye holes. You really liked the minimalist look of the mask and showed it to Tenryu. "Imma take this one!"
"Oh, neat! That's a good one!" Tenryu said with a thumbs up and a bright smile. Tenryu quickly paid for the mask after you tried it on (to your satisfaction), and followed Tenryu out of the store. Tenryu looked around before finding a public bench to sit on, inviting you to sit next to him. You did so and Tenryu sighed, suddenly looking a lot more serious.
"So, I know you said you'd help me but I gotta let you know. While we're there, you might see some messed up things." Tenryu said quietly, barely a whisper only you could hear. "You see, I stop the yakuza from doing business here and there, but this will be my biggest attack on them."
"Why is that?" you asked.
"You see, the information I got is that they're selling off women they'd captured. Some are refugees and some are prisoners that were handed off by more corrupt members of the prison. I can't let those women...be left to their fate." Tenryu muttered. "No doubt this will get me in the firing line of the Kyogoku Group. I apologize for not telling you this, it honestly was weighing on me."
"I see. Tenryu, I'm with you, okay?" you seriously said. "I want to find that statue, but this...is a bit more important than that. So I'm in no matter what! Plus, I think the Kyogoku group is getting a bit too big for its britches!"
Tenryu grinned and then said, "Alright! So we have a few hours before we go to the island, so I'd use this time to prepare! I'm gonna make sure the ship we'll use is working properly. Dunno what you'll do, but meet at the smallest harbor on the mainland of the Mist, that's where it'll be."
"Sounds good to me! Alright then, guess I'll get prepared then." you said, jumping to your feet.
"I'll see you in a few hours then!" Tenryu cheerily said, getting up. He held out his fist towards you and you returned it, bumping fists with Tenryu. He walked away, leaving you to your own devices for now.
Well, as Tenryu said, you have a few hours to prepare. What will you do now?

You had the idea of scoping out the yakuza hideout before you and Tenryu start the raid, but then again, if these yakuza are strong enough to exist while these wars are going on, they're probably no pushovers. With that thought in mind, you simply returned to the inn and rested, your mind going through all the various plans Tenryu might concoct...
---
"And that's our plan!" Tenryu exclaimed, his dragon mask resting on his head. You were now on a small boat with Tenryu, using oars to move against the ocean's currents. It was clearly a boat made for peaceful fishing, not clearing wide swathes of water. But you supposed it would do.
What would not do is Tenryu's plan.
"Your plan is just to charge head first!" you replied sharply.
"Well yeah, it's always worked for me before!" Tenryu countered, crossing his arms.
"Not much I can do anyway at this point, ugh..." you sighed. Tenryu shrugged and returned to paddling. Thankfully, he seemed to know where to go and after a few hours of rowing, you could see a light in the distance.
"What's that?" you asked, pointing at the light.
"Watchtowers. The Kyogoku are really big about security. Helps I chose the day they brought in the women as prisoners." Tenryu answered as he pulled his mask over his face.
"How are we going to free all the women if this boat can only fit four people max?" you questions, now noticing the issue there.
"Well, we're going to defeat and tie up all the yakuza, then I'll send a message to the Mist and they'll take care of the prisoners from there." Tenryu said, looking back at the light for a moment.
"I suppose... but what if whoever helps them is part of this mess?"
"Don't worry, when it comes to rescues and the like, they always send me! So, the plan is go in there, beat all the yakuza up, send the message, leave, and then I'll be sent to make sure everything's okay!" Tenryu said, and although you couldn't see it, you could imagine a big smile on his face.
"Guess that's that..." you muttered. You'd just have to trust Tenryu.
"Alright, get ready!" Tenryu said as he made hand seals. A thick mist surrounded the area and began to spread around the water. The mist was so thick that not even the light from the watchtower could penetrate it anymore! When you felt the boat gently shore on the coast, Tenryu leaped into action, faster than your eyes could follow!
"What the hell is-GAH!" a voice shouted. You heard sounds of combat and as you managed to exit the thick mist, you saw Tenryu standing in the center of a ring of unconscious bodies!
"Foul Kyogoku, the Dragon of Justice and his partner, the incredible Blanky have come to stop your evil!" Tenryu shouted, his sword in his right hand, the green blade shimmering in the moonlight.
You noticed a large building a few hundred yards away and a large group of yakuza began to rush out, along with all the spotlights on the watchtowers spinning around and now shining bright lights on you and Tenryu.
"Blanky? Really?" you whispered to Tenryu as you got into a fighting position.
"It's all I could think of! That or Stoneface!" Tenryu whispered back.
Well, now was no time to worry about it, it was time for combat!
What will you do?

"Stay back!' you said, making hand seals before spitting out a torrent of water, making sure angle the stream so it didn't wash away your mask. The water crashed against the group of yakuza and stopped them for a moment, giving you enough time to channel lightning chakra into your hands and send the current through the water.
However, one of the yakuza rushed forward, making hand seals themselves and a wall of earth emerged in front of the group, your lightning jutsu quickly vanishing as it was grounded by the wall. Then the wall broke into large chunks of earth and was sent flying at you! Tenryu moved in front of you and with skill directly contrasting his personality, cut each chunk of rock into small, harmless bits before they could hit himself or you.
"Most of the yakuza have been trained in the ninja arts, be careful!" Tenryu said!
"Now you tell me!" you groaned as the group began to surround you and Tenryu! A majority of them tried to engage you with weaponry and taijutsu, which Tenryu easily countered and took down with his impressive display of swordsmanship. As for you, even if they were trained, they clearly weren't too great at it as you could easily follow their movements! You dodged a punch and countered with your own, sending the man flying into some other yakuza.
You reached forward, stretching your arms to grab an unsuspecting yakuza that was about to attack Tenryu from behind and swung him into another member who was about to strike you! After that you felt someone lock their arms underneath yours, putting you in a haphazard full nelson hold. You saw another man running towards you with a dagger, about to stab you! However, Tenryu rapidly appeared in front of you and disarmed the man before knocking him out with a powerful hit by the flat of his blade.
You rapidly bent your leg behind you, smashing the man holding you in the groin with a powerful kick, forcing him to let go as you finished him off with a punch to the face.
"Blanky, they'll ship off the women if we take too long here! Go into the building, I'll deal with the horde here!" Tenryu shouted as he focused chakra into his sword and slashed at the building, a wave of chakra pushing a path through the yakuza and providing you a path to the building.
While that made sense, you didn't want Tenryu to fight so many people just by himself! What will you do?
[] Listen to Tenryu. He's strong, he can handle these losers while you rescue the women!
[] Forget that, you're helping Tenryu! If he goes down, then you don't like your odds of pulling off the mission!
