Chapter 45 - forty five

they didn't have to wait much, soon Haruto, kokoro and itzuki arrived they were all injured, they had clearly gone through some dangerous battle . The mission had gone awry, itzuki was badly injured and close to death, when they regrouped with Emica.

Haruto " Kokoro you were supposed to leak only jiyuu's whereabouts how did it end up like this... We had agreed that we will let kumo ninja deal with jiyuu, while we complete our mission and escape ... "

Jiyuu [ so all of these guys were in on it... Haruto guy should be given an Oscar, by the way he acted around me, I thought he might not be involved in Kokoro's scheme. Or did Hanzo himself give an order to take care of me ... that seems less likely, Danzo has a profitable relationship with me and he won't harm me unless it's necessary...]

Itzuki " you people did all this to set jiyuu up.... Lord Danzo will not forgive you..."

Kokoro " who is going to tell lord Danzo... you, but you have already died on the mission along with Jiyuu.."

As Kokoro said that, Amica had appeared behind itzuki and stabbed her ninjaken into itzuki's right leg, while Haruto stabbed his Kunai into his left leg...

Itzuki tried to fight back but he was already pretty badly injured and was close to losing consciousness ...

Haruto " jiyuu was to engage with kumo ninja's and make huge commotion while we escape... how did the Kumo ninjas end up focusing on us instead.... are sure he was dealt with Kokoro..."

Kokoro " I am sure, I saw the Kumo ninja pursuing him like bloodhounds, But i couldn't follow them and see what happened .... Maybe some strong jonin of Kumo captured him or killed him instantly and that way they could have changed their focus from him to others.... and we ended up in this mess. But it doesn't matter, not even the hokage could escape from such a situation much less that little bastard ..."

Haruto " you are right, we should keep going now .. the Kumo ninja might catch up with us anytime ..."

Emica " will it be alright to leave itzuki like this , maybe we should finish him of ... what if he gets captured by the Kumo alive... "

Haruto " no need to worry I have already checked his vitals he will die long before the Kumo ninja's arrive, his lungs and heart was already badly damaged by an attack from a kumo anbu... now that we have already disabled both his legs he won't be able to move away from here either.. we need to move fast..."

After ending their conversation fast, Haruto and others started moving fast, towards a new direction. They had clearly planned this ahead to not use the same escape route, which they had come up with in their discussion before the mission.

Only the unconscious itzuki was left behind and death creeping towards him.

Jiyuu just stood there without doing anything, after understanding the whole situation he was in deep thought.

{ beep.... The seal placed on root ninjas are high level seals which can only be removed with their death or Danzo's death... If the host is thinking about letting itzuki die for a few seconds and bringing him back to life, the probability of him dying is close to 80% since he is injured badly... we can also use some decoys }

Jiyuu [ 20% is a lot for this guy, then let's do it... but before that lets give a little gift to our friends..]

Jiyuu cleverly left some minor traces in the direction that Haruto and others took, using itzuki's blood and then carried itzuki away in the opposite direction, towards the hidden cloud. He made sure that no clues were left in the direction that he took.

After moving a specific distance according to the systems suggestion, he used the earth style to dig into the earth along with itzuki. He made a small room enough to occupy him and itzuki under the ground, no difference could be felt from outside.

Then he took out a tiny scroll, from his footwear it was really meticulously placed to avoid any detection. This was the new invention of Kibagami workshop tiny scroll which could seal many things and can be hidden away easily. After unsealing the scroll two pieces of machinery was taken out which could provide oxygen.

Jiyuu had arranged all these in case of emergency and if he had to hide under earth or water for prolonged time. When entering the Kumogakure everyone would be keenly searched so entering with a backpack or scrolls was almost impossible.
