Cam Yakoshi

Chapter 16

Cam was jumping from tree to tree in the direction of the Land of Tea. "I am almost there……I think." Cam said. He stopped on one of the branches. "None of this seems familiar. That's because I have never been to the Land Tea!" he yelled to himself in despair.

"Hey!" Cam heard a voice from his right. He looked over and saw a man coming towards him.

"Who is that?" Cam asked himself. The man caught up to Cam and was standing in front of him.

"So are you the Genin that's going to Nyucha?" the man asked.

"Yeah, how did you know?" Cam said.

"I am the Jonin assigned to help you on this mission. My name is Konchuu." the man answered. Konchuu had the standard Leaf Village Jonin clothes which were a full black suit the was bandaged at the ankles, black sandals with the heels mission, and a Chunin vest. He wore a brown trench coat over his vest. His hair was the color brown and had a wild, spiky style. His eyes were covered by sunglasses.

"I'm Cam. How did you know where to find me?" Cam said.

"I was told that you were a new Genin so I thought that you would not know the way to the Land of Tea. I waited here for you to come by." Konchuu answered.

"Wow, you were right." Cam stated.

"That's enough talking for now. Let's get to Nyucha." Konchuu said continuing to Nyucha. "Right!" Cam said following him.

Cam and Konchuu arrived at Nyucha in a short amount of time. When they arrived the buildings were in ruins and the villagers were dead on the street. "W-What happened here?" Cam said horrified. "Please…..help…us…" a man that was still alive said. Konchuu and Cam ran over to the man. "That is what we are here for." Konchuu said.

"Who did this to you?" Cam hastily.

"The….bandits.." the man said. Konchuu took a pause then asked, "Do you know were they are?" The villager pointed past Cam. "They are….in the caves…to the east." he answered.

"Don't worry. We will teach those bandit's a lesson." Cam said turning around to the directions of the cave.

"I will be fine here." the villager said.

"We will be back." Konchuu said. Him and Cam left the village ruins and went to the caves.

"Hehehehe…what fools." the villager said standing up. He pulled off a disguise revealing a man with wild white, spiky hair. His eyes were blood red. He wore black pants and a black, long sleeve kimino shirt with red outlines. He wore black gloves on his hands. His shirt was held with a black belt with a skull on it. He also wore a long red, tattered scarf around his neck. "Release!" he said and the village disappeared. "It was easy to fool those two. They will soon pay for being off guard." the man said as he disappeared.

Cam and Konchuu almost reached the caves. "Keep on your guard. That village back there was not real. It was a genjutsu." Konchuu said.

"It looked real to me." Cam said.

"I can see through genjutsu better than you." Konchuu pointed out.

"So then, that man wasn't hurt. He must be one of those bandits." Cam said.

"Maybe not. I do not think that a bandit can use genjutsu." Konchuu responded.

"So, what are you getting to?" Cam asked.

"That either there are no bandits or that there is more going on than we thought." Konchuu said as they arrived at the caves. "Just in case I am right, be ready." Konchuu said.

"Got it." Cam replied. Konchuu and Cam walked inside the cave. It wasn't very dark, because there were torches on the walls. When they were far enough inside the cave, A bandit ran at Konchuu from behind. Konchuu quickly turned around and threw kunai at the bandit and pinned him to the wall. "So there are bandits here, but I do not think that he is the only one." Konchuu said walking up to the bandit.

"You are going to die in these caves." the bandit said arrogantly.

"Big talk coming from someone pinned to a wall." Konchuu responded.

"You think you have won? I was not expecting you but it doesn't matter. I will still be able to take down his friends." the bandit said.

"What on earth are you talking about?" Cam asked.

"I was planning on the man that killed my group and destroyed the village that we pillaged. I set up bombs all over these caves." the bandit said with a smile on his face. Cam and Konchuu eyes grew wide from shock. "Killing his accomplices will work too." the bandit finished.

"We're not accomplices! We don't even know who you are talking about!" Cam yelled out.

"Cam, we have to leave now!" Konchuu said.

"What about him?! We can't just leave him here to die!" Cam said.

"Save me? You should know that I have been poisoned by that man. My body is already numb. It is already too late." the bandit said. Konchuu took the kunai out of the wall and grabbed the bandit. "We are going to make it out of here and you are coming with us." Konchuu said while him and Cam were running for the exit.

Outside of the cave the man that disguised himself as a villager was standing, hidden, outside of the caves. "I will soon be rid of that last bandit and I don't have to worry about any traps he set." he said to himself. A few seconds after he said that the caves exploded from the bombs. "No one came out. I guess that means they are dead. My work is done." the man said with an evil smile. He laughed to himself and left.
