Seeing the bear running down the mountainside to catch up with the poor, desperate horse, Kaizen knew he had to act to save the animal's life and, consequently, save his mission.
Without hesitation, Kaizen began to run while looking for ways to distract or chase the bear away without scaring the horse, after all, if the horse got scared too he could end up falling off the mountainside straight into the rocks just below. In this way, Kaizen looked around and found a rock with the ideal size for a slingshot.
However, Kaizen's idea was not exactly to use a slingshot, but rather to use his own hand.
So Kaizen picked up the stone with his right hand, measured its weight with his palm, threw it twice to the other, took a deep breath and threw it like a baseball, aiming for the bear's head.
Kaizen's throw was accurate. The stone flew swiftly through the air and hit the bear's head, causing considerable impact.
