[Immortal doesn't mean invulnerable and it's something Houou's very aware of as he nears the small camp and a very familiar chakra signature. It's not often that he comes out of an altercation injured, but protecting civilians against rogue ninja is not unlike herding fifty cats; somewhere along the way you're bound to get caught in the cross fire and he most certainly had.
The hitch in his stride is invisible to anyone that has only met him in passing and the red of his outer robe covers the stain nicely, but he's not dealing with a stranger and it's what Houou's counting on as he hails the other.]

Good evening, Kawauso. How fairs the road?
