Chapter 30: Battle with the spies(1)
Yoriichi P.O.V
When I was coming back from the training grounds, I saw two people in the abandoned training grounds.
No one was supposed to be here so I decided to overhear their conversation and peep a little.
'I know it's not good manners to peep at people, what if they were having sex or something else. But it's only for the safety of the village. I swear I am not going to be a pervy sage.'
I peeped at them and saw a guy who had a Yuki crest and a girl with plain shinobi clothing having a conversation.
'No baby making activities thankfully.'
"We have stolen enough supplies from the village without causing any suspicions from the village. Lets leave the village and deliver the stolen supplies and the intel to our village."
"When the other guys reach the village, we will get out with them."
'So thieves and spies huh, Wonder what village they are from. My money is on Mist.'
"We haven't got much useful intel though. I don't think it will be very helpful for the village."
"You are right. Uzushiogakure has gotten even more stronger after Chinoike and Kurama clan joined them. Not to mention the quality and quantity of their new shinobi will continue to rise thanks to their shinobi academy."
"Yeah, I have heard there are many geniuses in the academy including the Uzukage's grandson and even geniuses amoung civilians. They even have backing from many of the Damiyos and nobles including some from our own country. The trade is also blossoming thanks to the merchants that have settled here."
"The supplies we have stolen even though are not much but still this will make the village feel a little pain. Our village must have planned something to deal with Uzushiogakure. But we can't start any wars with the village since Uzushiogakure are friends with konoha and Hashirama and his wife Mito Uzumaki will definitely rush to protect Uzushiogakure."
"It's time, let's go and meet others at the shore and leave the village quickly."
They started running towards the shores of the village.
I followed the two people to the shores of the village to see where they were going. I found them talking to three people who were dressed as shinobi but judging from their presence they were shinobi too.They were standing in front of a small boat but was enough for 5 people. I hope no one was a sensor amoung them, I have not learned to hide my chakra yet.
"Who is there?" shouted one of the shinobi and all of them got to a battle position.
'Me and my luck' I wasn't afraid though, I wanted a good fight too for a while.
I came out and they look suprised to see my red hair.
"Is not he the grandson of the Uzukage?" One of them said
After hearing this the rest of them had an evil smile on their faces.
"We should take him to the mist, he can really be a good bargaining chip."
'Well now I know they're shinobis from mist.'
"Kid, come with us while we are asking politely." One of them said
"Oh, I am so scareeedddd" I said in exasperation. Just how much and idiot do they think I am that I will willingly come with them.
"Now let's get this over with I have some homework to do."
"Looks like this kid has a death wish, Let me deal with him quickly. We can't let anyone sense us." The Yuki guy said
With that he rushed at me using body flicker jutsu. I decided to play with them a little and with an even greater speed came behind him and whispered into his ears "Too slow, Are you trying to kidnap a snail or what?"
He tried to punch me but I have already made some distance between us.
"You brat, Just wait when I have my hands on you."
He started weaving hand signs and hundreds of ice needles were flying towards me.
Seeing this i become a little serious.
'Let's go Muramasa.'
I pull my katana out and deflected each ice needle that were coming towards me with such precision and speed that my hands appeared a blur.
After I was done, I noticed a stingy sensation on my left thigh.
'Must have missed one Needle.' Need to improve my hand to eye coordination.
"Ah, so you are from that traitor family of Yuki clan, no wonder you were so slow."
"You braattt" He said
"Looks like this kid is good, let's deal with him quickly, the sensory unit would have already sensed us and would be on their way. Don't hold back and get the kid. We will be heavily rewarded if we bring him back to the mist." Another one of them said
I didn't let them just talk while I was standing.
'Katon: Karyū Endan(Fire Style: Dragon Flame Bomb)'
Fire dragons rushed at the mist guys. Three of them used water wall to stop the jutsu. I took the advantage of mist since I knew this would happen.
After the mist was cleared, one of them came at me using body flicker and slashed at my hands since they wanted me alive.
As my hands got slashed instead of blood or anything, my body turned orange and
*BOOOM*
Me, I mean my explosion clone and the guy exploded and he probably died. There was another round of smoke.
When the smoke cleared the mist ninjas could not find me.
"Where is the brat Toama?" The Yuki guy asked the sensor.
"He is right belooo....." he couldn't continue his sentence as I came out of ground and sliced his legs cleanly using doton: Moguragakure no jutsu(Earth Style: Hidden Mole Jutsu).
'Extend Muramasa' I extended Muramasa and sliced the girl in front of the sensor who was caught off-guard and also had her legs sliced up like a vegetable on a chopping board.
Both of them felt unconscious because of blood loss.
"You bastard, wait till I get my hands on you." The Yuki guys said
He was clearly not affected by his comrades situation. Looks like there is no camaraderie among the mist shinobis.
'Well, My first kill in shinobi world. My path to the strongest has started babbbyyyyy!'
Now only two of them are left. The Yuki guy and another blue haired man. But I can feel that they are B rank Shinobi unlike the other three who were just C rank.
'This is going to be a good and a fun fight.'
