Chapter 29 - twenty nine

Three anbu's were inspecting, the battlefield that jiyuu just left behind. The leader spoke,

" we need to move faster or the rats might escape, Kei seems to have had an intense fight with them here... but the weird thing is, Kei didn't leave behind any trails for us to follow afterwards .... Ruki send a message to Tsumugi sama, ..... completing this mission might be more difficult than we thought.... after all they are the disciples of the third hokage"

Ruki " Haia sama, are you suggesting that... Kei has already been done for....."

Haia " not necessarily, Kei is a meticulous guy and his poisons are hard to deal with.... but he loses it sometimes when he is angry. He might have been provoked by the enemy , which led to him wanting to kill the opponent himself and stopped leaving trails which we could follow... "

The last Anbu spoke.

" He should be taught a proper lesson, putting personal grudges above mission .... If he wasn't from a high caste, I would have broken his bones myself....."

Haia " rei don't speak nonsense, you know what will happen, if someone else hears what you just said... now let's move..."

Jiyuu had already sealed the dead body and taken it with him, which further confused the enemy. But the enemy has also picked up their pace.

As Haia and her team was closing to a more forested area they heard a sudden explosion, after seeing it Haia used body flicker technique and reached the spot instantly and saw Kei falling down from a tree after the explosion, He looked really, hurt blood was leaking from his mouth.

Haia didn't falter and caught him in the mid fall, but as she caught him, Kei struck her in the ċhėst exactly at the heart position . Haia was not slow either she kicked him away instantly but it was too late, the strike had damaged her heart and blood started leaking out of her mouth as she sat down. The other two ninjas arrived behind her immediately and one of them tried to help Haia.

Rei " Ruki how is Haia samas condition.."

Ruki " it's bad, really bad ... her heart is damaged and that guy used poison, which has already infiltrated her heart .... she is dying..."

Haia struggled to speak " retreat, go back and inform Tsumugi sama, he is not someone you can deal with easily..."

After hearing what Haia said jiyuu's eyes became more constricted and colder.

Jiyuu [ There are more enemies from what she said and probably a higher level jonin, I need to kill these guys of instantly, before they alert others ....system what do you think...]

{Beep... The probability of the enemy lying to mislead the host is very low about 0.5 %, according to her vitals and bodily reactions, along with her comrades. The possibility that she is speaking the truth is 99.5%.... Host need to eliminate, the variables as soon as possible .....}

Jiyuu didn't wait for anything and went for the guy that was trying to help Haia... but he was interrupted by the other Anbu, she used water release to stop jiyuu's advancement and submerge the area. Ruki and Rei had already retreated with Haia, but she was already dead, after confirming Haia's death Ruki screamed like a wild beast.... but rei remained calm, he shouted at Ruki...

rei " ruki now is not the time to show your anger, we can't deal with this guy... we need Tsumugi samas help to exact revenge... I will hold him off, you go back this instant ..."

Ruki " No, I will stay, we can work together to deal with him... Haia sama only fell because she was caught off guard..."

Rei " no it's not that simple , I can feel a dangerous vibe from him... After Haia sama's death the chain of command falls on me, I am giving you the order... are you still going to refuse me along with Haia sama's last words..."

Ruki didn't retort again and clenched his fist retreating backwards . But jiyuu was not ideally waiting either, he was moving forward to launch the next attack, he threw dynamic shurikens at the enemy.
