Whilst Aslatiel pushed ahead to separate the herd, Hattori hung back and kept a watchful eye on the stragglers in case they tried to and veer off into a new, unpredictable direction. One horse in particularly was rather spirited and as it ran, it slowed down a touch and attempted to lash out at Hattori with a kick of it's hind leg. He swerved out of the way with a tsk, only to speed up as a snarl ripped from his throat, quickly reminding the stallion of who held the reins here, so to speak.
Hattori held his breath in anticipation, it was just a few steps more and then- The front runner of the herd let out shriek as it's front legs caught on the trip wire and sickening crack filled the air. Hattori skidded to a stop, his ankles aching in protest as he watched the scene unfold, as though in slow motion. The horses eyes were wide, almost rabid with panic as it twisted and landed with such a thud that the earth shook beneath the shinobi's paws. The other horses were quick to scatter, sounding equally as alarmed as they thundered away, leaving their companion to her fate. If nothing the wolves would make it quick, or at least Hattori would attempt to.
