(Insert Deer Pun Here)

Hattori nodded wordlessly, willing to take the pups lead. It was a little odd allowing a pup to take the reins, but he'd seen his work before and despite his age he had more skill and potential than many wolves the shinobi had come across. They parted ways, Hattori going left and Úlfr right. Skirting the long way around, Hattori took care to watch his steps and stay out of the deer's cone of vision. The going was slower than he would have liked, but given the lack of cover he had to ensure that he didn't spook their prey or else their silent plan would go up in flames before they'd had a chance to spring the trap.
Once close enough, Hattori rolled his shoulders and kicked off into a sprint. The herd parted at the sight of the two approaching wolves, the majority scattering to safety whilst their target remained sandwiched in the middle. with nowhere safe to turn. With his paws thundering against the earth, he was quick to narrow in and twisted to the side, as though to lunge for the deer, In a panic it wheeled to the right, having momentarily forgotten Úlfr guarded that flank, practically delivering itself to the second hunter's awaiting jaws.
