What the civilians might've thought, seeing someone jump from rooftop to rooftop with a young teenager slung over his shoulder...
Keiyaku held tightly onto the paralysed Sota, carrying him fireman style as he darted through the village. In time, they came to the stairway leading up to Hokage Rock. Morutobu followed behind the two of them, still in his Beast Clone form where he appeared as the ANBU officer's perfect double, mask and all. After a short journey, the three of them reached the summit where Keiyaku finally put the boy down, watching him cautiously as they stood atop one of the Hokage heads, overlooking the vast expanse of Konoha.
"Think you bit off a bit more than you can chew this time, sunshine," the ANBU officer smirked, though looking down at his bandaged hands and wondering if this was the right thing to do. The kid wasn't gonna be in danger of course, he just wanted to scare him a little. Without needing to perform any hand signs, Keiyaku simply held out the palm of his hand and raised it up, causing Sota's body to raise into the air at the same time, lifted by some kind of unseen force. Gingerly, he drifted over the edge of the rock, at which point, Keiyaku dropped him except for his ankle, so he was dangling, upside down, over the sheer drop of a mountain. By this time the paralysis would have worn off, with both the ANBU officer and his identical clone, watching the boy imperiously through slit-pupilled eyes.
"Oh, kid, so nice of you to drop in! I wouldn't look down if I were you though."
It was impossible not to hear the smirk in the man's voice.
"Wanna tell me what all that stabby-stabby-fun time was about back there?"
