Chapter 29: Battles on the Road
[+]
October 11
|Section D - Bandit Camp, Southern Fire Country|
Most would say this section of camp was hit by an earthquake if not for the sight of one Anko Mitarashi who was perfectly content sitting on top her downed opponent while munching on a dango stick.
"Mmm, so gooood." She moaned.
"Damn you Leaf-"
"You're still conscious?" Anko said in surprise, "Seems all that macho wasn't for show."
"Your poison isn't… that …effective." Gin weakly retorted.
Staring at him for a while the 25 year old went back to her snack, "I admire your resilience, but judging by your labored breath you won't make it pass the next hour." She took another bite then gazed at the clouds. 'I wonder how the others are doing.'
[+]
|Section B|
"Rise!"
Boom!
Shizune cautiously took a step back as white smoke obstructed her vision.
Clack!
The brunette jumped seconds before a figure crashed onto her previous position, kicking up a lot of dust. 'What is that?' She thought, landing a couple feet away.
Click!
Came the sound of a metallic leg as it exited the dust cloud followed by the rest of the body, 'A Spider puppet?' The medic gaped.
"Interesting, I didn't expect you to dodge that." Ren said with surprise, recalling the arachnid puppet to his side, "Most end up being crushed without seeing what did them in," a twitch of his index finger caused the contraption to bare its fangs, "This," He pointed at the purple liquid dripping off its fangs, "is a highly potent poison made by yours truly." He gave the Kunoichi a haunting smile, "I don't need to explain what happens if you receive the slightest of scratches."
Shizune felt a bead of sweat roll down her cheek, 'Of all opponents…' She moaned mentally, 'why did I have to get an ex-Suna nin who specializes in puppets, poison making and long range attacks.' She then mentally went over her techniques and frowned slightly, 'and I don't have a single long range attack that is powerful enough!'
"Here it comes," The Jonin swung the spider-like puppet towards her while calling, "Puppet Move: Death Fang!"
The female once again avoided the bite by jumping to right, but the puppet followed suit forcing the medic to stay on the defensive lest she get bitten in half.
"That's it! That's right! Run for your pathetic life!" The puppeteer cackled, his fingers flexing like crazy as it controlled the contraption.
Still on the run, Shizune came up with an idea and reached into her weapon pouch to retrieve two items, one being a kunai while the other an explosive tag. Tying the latter to the former, the apprentice of the only surviving Senju threw it behind her then made the ignition seal, 'Katsu!'
Boom!
Ren frowned as his masterpiece was blasted back providing his opponent with enough space to breathe, flexing two of his fingers he instructed his masterpiece on the next course of action.
"Puppet Move: Hellfire Bombs!" Getting back on its feet, the Arachnid puppet raised its head and spewed forth a series of paper bombs.
Shizune already had her right hand on her left arm, "Ninja Art: Senbon Rain!" A shower of senbon needles were launched from the arm strapped senbon launcher.
The two attacks met and the bombs were detonated prematurely obstructing the two's vision with a black smokescreen.
'I can't see.' The medic thought, before channeling chakra to her ears, a simple trick taught to the academy students to help one heighten his/her hearing.
Clack!
The kunoichi snapped her face to the left just before the attack exited the smoke screen.
[+]
A Minute Earlier
Ren wasn't bothered that his attack denoted prematurely; instead he smirked at the opportunity the smokescreen presented.
"Puppet Move: Death Fang!" He whispered, swinging the puppet into the smoke cloud.
Bam!
The nuke-nin heard the sounds of impact but no cry of pain, 'Did she escape?' He suspected.
A gust of wind came in and his suspicions were confirmed as the smokescreen lifted revealing that Shizune was nowhere in sight and in her previous position was a broken barrel which his puppet had bitten into.
'Tch! She got away.'
[+]
(With Shizune)
Hidden behind one of the tents, the medic heaved a sigh of relief, 'That was close.' She took a peek at the smokescreen which was slowly being lifted and could faintly make out the location of the puppeteer.
Staring down at her chakra shrouded hands Shizune contemplated another idea, 'My chakra scalpels should cut through his chakra threads but,' She frowned at the remainder of her biggest obstacle, 'the problem is getting round the puppet in order to do so.'
As the brunette was busy thinking up a strategy, hushed voices coming from tent reminded her why she chose to hid behind it in the first place. 'At least they're doing some good for once.' She thought while taking another peek but found the nuke-nin staring at her direction, 'Shoot!'
"There you are!" Ren cried, swinging the puppet towards the tent.
'No, he wouldn't!' The brunette thought.
"Puppet Move: Blade Twister!" Blades sprouted from each of the spider's legs before the whole thing spun.
Boom! Rip! Arrgghhh!
Shizune who had body flickered to safety stared in shock as the tent and all who were hiding inside were ripped to shreds. "No way," She muttered as red liquid along with cut off limbs and other body parts were sent flying, "Your men were inside those-"
"So?"
The Kunoichi taken back by the nonchalant tone, "W-what do you mean by 'So?' those men were-"
"cowards," The puppeteer interrupted with the same tone, "Those worthless worms rarely did anything right," He continued, sending a glare at the mutilated bodies, "Instead of helping me fight, they hid and watched not knowing that they will eventually get in my way."
Staring back at the bodies Shizune wasn't aware that her body had began to shake, 'He doesn't even value the life of his underlings?' Back at the academy it was mentioned but up till now she didn't actually believe it was possible.
Ren raised a brow at her shaking figure, "Don't tell me you're actually getting angry over something you took part in."
The shaking stopped, "Took part in?" She repeated staring at the puppeteer.
"The killings," He gestured around, "This entire place is littered with bodies, some of them dead," Shizune glanced at the non-moving bodies, "Killed by your hands." He elaborated.
The Special Jonin turned her attention back to the male, "They weren't my comrades." She replied.
Ren scoffed at her implication of them being his comrades, "They weren't my neither." He returned.
"But they worked for you." She pressed.
The male did nod at that, "True, they were good tools." He said, causing Shizune's expression to go blank, "but when said tools have no more use," the arachnid puppet shot towards the Kuniochi as its master shouted, "THEY WILL BE DISCARDED!"
"So it's like that." she whispered.
If Ren had paid closer attention he would had noticed the shadowed look on the Kunoichi's face, but since he didn't…
'It's over.' The puppeteer thought with a grin as the medic stood motionless in the face of impending death, 'The others owe me 500 ryo for finishing-'
BAM!
"Nani!" The ex-Jonin cried in shock as the brunette slammed her right hand on the puppet's head forcing it to eat dust, his bewilderment grew as she leapt over the puppet and slashed the connecting chakra threads before dashing towards him with the same shadowed look. [1]
Snapping back to his senses Ren narrowly avoided decapitation by leaning backward but he ended taking a kick to the side which knocked him into a stack of firewood.
"Ninja Art: Poison Fog!"
As ex-Sand ninja got up, a purple fume rushed forward and engulfed him, but said puppeteer wasn't worried as he had developed immunity to far worst toxins than this.
'But she should know that.' Ren thought as he warily looked round but saw only the purple smoke, 'I did reveal my expertise in all things poison, so maybe she using the fog as a means to sneak up on me like NOW' He swung around but no attack came, 'Okay, why hasn't she attacked yet?' He tried locating his puppet but Shizune's jutsu was just too thick to see through, 'Come on! Attack me already-'
Clang!
'Huh?' was what Shizune Kato thought as her opponent blocked her chakra scalpel with his right arm, 'Why didn't it cut through?' She said to herself after backing off. The answer came when Ren ripped off the sleeve revealing not a human arm but a metallic one, "Eh?"
"I lost my original arm a couple years ago," The male began upon noticing her shocked expression, "A Kumo nin got up close and sliced it off before tossing it into a river," His face adopted a far-off look as he recalled the memory, "Never had to chance to retrieve it."
Seeing that her poison fog was almost gone, Shizune took advantage of his distracted state and threw a kunai…
Clang!
Only for the Jonin's left arm to shoot up and block, "That's was very unladylike of you." Ren stated as the sleeve of his left arm went down revealing a metal bracer.
Shizune cursed at the reveal, 'This guy isn't your normal puppeteer,' She bit back a hiss as Ren charged her with a right hook, She ducked down avoiding said hook and took a swipe at his gut region. Unfortunately for her Ren anticipated this as his left arm descended and deflected the swipe with the bracer before his right leg kicked up.
Fortunately Shizune raised her left arm, lessening the kick but was still sent skidding sideways. The medic barely got her bearing in order when Ren called out his next attack.
"Ninja Art: Hellish Senbon Burst!" Numerous needles were fired from the metallic arm towards the Leaf-nin who evaded via substitution with a dead bandit. 'Huh? Where did she go?'
"Ninja Art: Senbon Rain!"
Turning around Ren quickly leapt to the left avoiding Shizune's own shower of needles, 'There you are.' He thought sighting the medic beside his inactive puppet. Landing on his feet the Jonin instantly pointed his metallic arm at the Kunoichi.
"Ninja Art: Hellish Dragon Flames!"
Said medic jumped away just before a stream of red fire roasted the area along with his masterpiece, "You're burning your puppet?" Shizune yelled to her opponent who was idly standing here watching the flames burn.
Said male gave her a look which questioned her intelligence before raising his right hand towards flames, blue chakra threads shot out from the fingertips and went into the flames reconnecting with the puppet.
Shizune took a step back as her mind caught up on some facts, "It's fire resistant?"
"About time you realized that." The nuke-nin stated as his contraption exited the flames with practically no burn marks, "Now," He turned his gaze towards the Kunoichi and gave a slight smirk, "ready to die?"
"No," Shizune said with a negative headshake before pointing at the arachnid, "but it is!"
"Huh?" Was all Ren managed to say before…
"Katsu!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! BOOM!
Ren stared slack jawed as his entire creation collapsed to the down, it's limbs and significant parts blown to smithereens, "Impossible." He stated falling to his knees, "How-"
"After engulfing you in my poison fog, I went back and slipped some explosive tags into the joints of your puppet." Shizune supplied, cautiously approaching the kneeling foe, "Since your trump card is out of commission, the fight is more balanced out-" The brunette was cut off by a sudden chuckle.
"Don't get ahead of yourself miss," The 30 something year old as he got back to his feet, "Just because you disabled my puppet doesn't mean you have the upper hand!"
"Actually she does."
At the new voice the nuke-nin swirled around and took in new arrival, his eyes stopping on the headband, "Arashi? What's a Storm Shinobi doing here?" He barked.
"I'm with her." Areku simply said.
"He's with me." Shizune confirmed.
Upon hearing that, Ren collapsed to his knees already knowing that he had lost. The medic wasted no time shooting a senbon into his neck causing him to lost consciousness.
Walking over to the defeated male, Areku gave Shizune a warm smile, "Good job!" He praised.
Although tried, the brunette allowed a small blush to grace her features, "Thanks," She said before walking over to help restrain the nuke-nin.
[+]
|Section C|
"Water Style: Water Javelin!"
Kin ducked down avoiding the liquid spear before raising her arm, "Rakurai!"
Yu effortlessly side-stepped the lightning bolt before asking, "Is that the only jutsu you know?"
'Well excuse me for starting Lightning manipulation a few days ago,' The ex-Oto Kunoichi mentally ranted before getting up and pointing her mechanized umbrella at the white-haired, "Ninja Art: Senbon Shower!" A barrage of senbon pierced the Special Jonin before in a burst of smoke he was replaced with a log, 'Substitution?!'
"Water Style: Water Bullets!"
Kin hopped around avoiding the lot of the projectiles before a cry of 'Water Style: Wild Water Wave!' ended up with her being slammed by a jet of water into a tent collapsing it.
"Come on sweetheart, I know you can do better-"
"Don't call me that!" Kin yelled, tossing aside the tent cover, "My name is- Why are you staring at me like that?"
Yu grinned perversely, "You quite developed for a girl your age."
The girl blinked before noticing that her wet garments were clinging to her skin leaving almost nothing to imagination, eyes widening by the millisecond she gazed back at Yu who was heading towards her while making squeezing motions.
No one needed to be told what was on his mind.
Blushing from embarrassment and strengthened with feminine fury, Kin channeled Raikurai into her umbrella before crying, "Lightning Style: Thunderous Hail!"
'Shit!' The ex-Kiri nin thought, before jumping behind a large barrel, shielding himself. The Lightning enhanced senbons sped pass; some colliding with the barrel while the others ripped holes in the surrounding tents, 'Okay.' Yu absently though before he felt something wet land on right hand, 'Water?' He looked upwards at the leaking barrel before smiling.
"Water Style: Water Serpent Jutsu!"
Kin watched as water exploded out from the barrel before morphing into miniature dragon that charged towards her. Switching places with a discarded plank, the kunoichi watched as said plank was reduced to splinters.
"Behind you."
Kin twisted around only to receive twin blows across her face then a front kick to her chest which knocked her painfully against a tree trunk, 'I was careless,' was the demeaning thought as her body slid down.
Yu watched her with a sad look before sighing, "You know this hurts me more than it you."
Wiping a bit of blood from the side of her mouth, Kin proceeded to give him a disbelieving look, "Of course it does." She shot back sarcastically.
"No, I'm seriously pained at the thought of harming such a beautiful flower." The special jonin explained, drawing closer to his opponent.
"Flattery won't make me surrender." The Senbon user returned while using her umbrella as a support, "I won't surrender to a guy like you." She affirmed with a glare as her left hand snaked towards her back.
The 18 year old frowned, "But why? Am I ugly or is my skin too-" The rest was cut off as Kin threw a kunai, he quickly leaned to the right avoiding the projectile then his eyes went to the tag tied to the end.
Boom!
Evading the blast via substitution, the white haired's attention went back to his adversary only to find out that she had already crossed half the distance originally between them, 'Oh?'
Hands already in a seal, Kin locked eyes with Yu then activated her technique; disappearing then reappearing 3 feet away from the male.
'Shunshin?' The water user questioned before attacking with a swing of his fist only for it to pass through the female, 'Huh?'
BAM!
Pain was all the special Jonin could think of as he crashed into a pile of barrels which ending up drenching him in their contents.
Relaxing her batter pose Kin intoned, "Genjutsu: False Conception!"
Yu coughed out water that had gotten into his lungs before glaring hatefully, "You bitch!" He growled making the Kunoichi to raise a brow.
"What happened to sweetheart?"
"Water Clone Jutsu!" Four doppelgangers rose up from stagnate water, "Get her!" At their master's command the four dashed forward.
"Raikurai!" Firing a bolt of lightning Kin vaporized one of the clones.
"Water Style: Wild Water Wave!" One spewed forth a jet of water while the remaining two jumped into the air.
Opening the umbrella Kin shielded her from the water jet then glanced upwards at the two water clones who were descending down on her in form of an aerial bombardment, 'Naruto used this tactic on Atsushi-kun and he disrupted it by,' She channeled chakra to her hand then converted it to lightning, "Raikurai!"
The clones evaded the attack by pushing against each other with their legs which launched them sideways, seeing that they won't be bothering her for a while Kin focused on the one who spewed the water jet.
"Ninja Art: Senbon Shower!" A smirk came to her face as said clone was gunned (Senboned) down, "Now you two." She said with a glance at her sides.
"Water Style: Water Fang Bomb!"
"Wha?"
Caught by surprise, the Kunoichi gazed in the direction of the original and witness a drill of water heading her way. Without thinking she jumped upwards avoiding the blast but ended up in the path of the two water clones, 'A Trap!' Kin realized as she swung her umbrella to the left bashing the one there, but just as she was about to swing the other way a fist slammed onto her cheek.
Pow!
Down to earth was the intended stop but determined not to go down alone Kin grabbed onto the clone's arm taking him along, the two fell into the miniature lake formed by Yu's attack with the female surviving while the clone didn't as he returned to his original state upon impact.
Popping her head out Kin looked around but couldn't her opponent anywhere, 'Did he flee?' The hairs rising on the back of her neck disagreed.
"Water Style: Water Prison Jutsu!" Appearing behind the brunette, Yu instantly trapped her in a giant sphere of water. Kin attempted to move but found it difficult, "Your struggles won't help," She heard the Special Jonin say; "the water pressure is so great that you won't be able to lift a finger."
'He's right,' Kin admitted as she felt her arms go numb, 'If this continues I will run out of oxygen!' Her mind drifted to a certain Kishida, 'Why hasn't he intervene-'
"Lightning Style: Laser Gun!"
'Huh?' Turning to the left, the male came face-to-face with a large blue beam.
Boom!
With Yu blasted away, the sphere exploded freeing its captive whom greedily breathed in precious oxygen.
"I will never take you for granted ever again." The female declared towards the sky.
Water-walking towards his drenched friend, Atsushi released a slight chuckle, "Well there is something you don't see every day."
Turning towards the Chunin, Kin leveled him with a mock glare, "What took you so long?" She yelled but one could tell it lacked heat.
Either way Atsushi raised his hand in apology, "Oji-chan said to only interfere when the situation got serious." He explained, causing the female to soften her glare.
"Well, he did get serious towards the end so I guess you weren't at fault." The 15 year old admitted as she brought herself to stand on the lake's surface.
"We should be glad that he wasn't serious from the beginning or else I won't be able to catch him off guard like I did." The two glanced at the unconscious nuke-nin then back at each other, "Anyway you fought well." Atsushi complimented.
Kin perked up, "Thanks, but I did fell back on one of my Genjutsu techniques." She looked away expecting a reprimand.
The Kishida shrugged, "As long as it helped you win I don't mind."
"But you and Areku-san said to stop the use of genjutsu."
"No, we said you should get used to not using Genjutsu since you will be transmuted into a Psuedo-Kishida." He corrected.
"Oh," She blushed in embarrassment, "Must have misheard."
"Mhmm," The Kishida hummed before walking towards the unconscious Yu, "Your training will still be upped." He reminded.
Pouting a bit, Kin went after him.
[+]
|Section A|
The two teenagers arrived at the camp's entrance and found both Areku & Shizune there waiting, the later seemed relieved that they were both alright but she did reprimand Atsushi for allowing Kin to fight someone two levels above hers.
"I see the gakis did well." Said a familiar feminine voice.
'Anko!'
The four turned towards the pathway and were shocked at the sight of the Special Jonin dragging her unmoving opponent across the ground, "Umm Anko?"
Thud!
"Yeah?" The Kunoichi answered Areku as she casually tossed the battered nuke-nin at their feet's.
The Jonin glanced at the bruised and sliced up body, "… Is he still alive?"
"He was a minute ago." Anko answered before adjusting her jacket, "Did they get bigger?" She muttered, hands reaching towards...
"Eehmm." Shizune coughed, giving the Interrogator a knowing look.
Said interrogator smirked, "Okay okay, not the right place."
"Thank you."
Areku shook his head while Kin elbowed a blushing Atsushi, "Now that's over," He begun, "We should return the looted items to the villagers."
"But how will we carry it all?" Shizune asked.
"Kin and I did find a carriage," Atsushi spoke up.
"Wonderful!"
"But there were no horses around." Kin added.
The medic sighed, "The bandits who fled must have taken them."
"No worries, Anko's snake summons can suffice right?" Areku asked the Snake summoner.
"I will try but no promises." Anko simply said.
[+]
After a bit of conniving the summon did finally agree to draw the carriage but under the condition that it be fed some fine deer meat as a payment, so after the camp was plundered then later destroyed, the six headed to towards the village.
Saying the villagers were happy would be an understatement as they literally took the streets in celebration, the village head rewarded them with a free night stay at the village's inn along with a free breakfast, too tempting to resist they accepted but there came a problem.
The inn only had three rooms left and they were seven individuals present if you included the two restrained nuke-nins. Anko and Areku got into a heated argument until it was decided that Anko will take the largest room if she watched over their captives, the self-proclaimed Snake mistress agreed saying that she needed some playthings to keep her busy.
Upon hearing that, the four suddenly felt sorry for Ren and Yu.
[+]
|Ladies' Room|
Kin sank into the feather-like bed, "It's so soft," She sighed.
Shizune chuckled before saying, "Don't get too comfortable Kin, we're still dirty." She then walked toward their wall mirror and inspected herself, "Good thing this place has running water." The medic added as her hands drifted to her obi untying it.
"Is it hot or cold?" The younger asked, now sitting on top their queen sized bed.
"It has both options," The Elder replied, allowing her kimono to fall not realizing that Kin was watching or not caring since they were both females, "Let's hope the hot water isn't used up yet." She added before reaching for her mesh top and pulling it off.
Boing!
"Wow!"
Shizune turned around, "You say something?" The Genin shook her head in a negative manner, "Hmm… I must be hearing things." She turned her attention back towards the mirror and continued undressing.
Kin sighed in relief, 'That was close!' She thought before taking another look, 'They're as big as Anko's.' She compared.
"Say Kin?"
"Yea."
"How long have you living with the Kishida?" Shizune inquired, wrapping a towel around her body then facing the teenager.
"Well…" Kin pondered, "A week at most."
The medic nodded before her face turned a bit bashful, "So do you happen to know what Areku's likes?" She asked timidly.
The youngster blinked before gaining a smirk, "Well… I did hear that he likes females with dark hair."
"Dark hair." Shizune subconsciously fingered a strand of her hair.
"Same applies to Atsushi-kun but I'm still trying to confirm it." Kin added with a side-look, "He like his uncle doesn't show obvious signs of attachment." She muttered.
The elder smiled at the younger, "Well, judging by your interactions I say he enjoys your company."
The girl perked up, "Yeah, that why he's okay with me sneaking into his bed at night."
Shizune froze at that statement, "you WHAT?!"
[+]
|Gents' Room|
As Atsushi was taking his shower, Areku snapped open a bingo book and checked out the information of the three nuke-nins they encountered.
1. Gin the Skull Smasher
Threat Level: Jonin – Low A Rank
Bounty: 1.5 Million
2. Ren of the Arachnid
Threat Level: Jonin – High B Rank
Bounty: 1.1 Million
3. Yu (No last name or Title)
Threat Level: Special Jonin – Low B Rank
Bounty: 475,000
'3 Million ryo in total,' Areku calculated as he snapped the book shut, 'Now, where is the closest bounty station?' He reached for his travel map and unfurled it, "Hmm… we're in luck…"
"In luck of what?"
The Jonin stared at his nephew who was clad in a bath towel and was dripping wet, 'When did he- No, why was I speaking out loud?'
"Oji-chan?"
"Sorry, I was just talking to myself." The Jonin explained.
Shrugging Atsushi headed towards the wardrobe, "So are we turning in those missing nins?" he asked while reaching for his clothes.
Unzipping his blue Jonin vest Areku nodded, "We will drop them off at a bounty station close to the border outpost, their bounties sum up to 3 million a good haul if I should say so."
"Mhmm, that's a lot of cash."
Glancing over his shoulder just as he was done unbuckling his belt, the elder asked, "How did Kin do?"
The Chunin rubbed his hair back with some hair gel, "She did well but when Yu got serious I had to step in," He brought his hand down as his expression turned solemn; "I doubt either of us would have been able to defeat him on our own." He added referring to both Kin and himself.
Areku hummed, "Then I will have to up you two's training."
Done dressing up the younger took a seat on the bed, "What about Shizune?" He inquired.
"She won after taking out her opponet's puppet, but it was my presence that forced Ren to admit defeat." The Jonin gave a slight chuckle, "The look on his face after realizing that we were together was priceless."
Atsushi joined in as he could imagine the scenario, but the cheerful atmosphere was exterminated by a bloodcurdling scream. "What was-"
"Anko has probably started her interrogation," Areku answered the unfinished question, "I'm surprised she waited this long."
ARRGHGH!
The two shivered as another was heard, "Shouldn't she have done it outside?" The Chunin asked nervously.
"Well, we were plundering the camp and Shizune's opponent was unconscious at the time so…" The Jonin trailed off as a third scream was heard.
"So we aren't getting enough sleep tonight?" Atsushi stated as he lay back on the bed, "I should have packed some earplugs." He sighed.
[+]
Lucky for the two Kishida, the gift shop did have some earplugs on sale since the management did anticipate some late night activities which could disturb the other customers.
Breakfast was served early the next morning and once done with his, Areku began plotting their route as another unexpected gift was dropped onto their laps this morning by the village head. Apparently some bandits fled towards to the village only to be detained by the local authorities, two of their confiscated horses were presented to the group as another gesture of gratitude.
Atsushi was watching over Ren and Yu who were just staring lifelessly in space, barely responding to the slightest stimuli. Anko who was responsible for their plight was busy feasting on a tray of dango with a cup of tea on the side.
Shizune and Kin seemed to have bonded as the latter was questioning the former on variety of subject.
Done plotting their route Areku clapped his hands gaining everyone's attention, "You all ready?" He received a chorus of 'Hai' from the four, "Good, thanks to village we now have a faster means of transport-"
"Say, when we're done with the carriage can I keep it?" Anko interrupted.
"No," The Kishida deadpanned causing the Snake user to pout, "As I was saying, due to having a faster means of transport we should be able to make to Arashigakure by tomorrow morning saving us an entire day of travel." Everyone got delighted at the news, "The bounties of our captured friends amount to 3 Million ryo, so that 600,000 ryo for each person-"
"SHOPPING SPREE!" The three females suddenly cried causing the two Kishida to feel a sense of dread.
'HELL NO!' The two stood up and fled towards the carriage, taking the bounties along with them.
"Huh?"
"They're leaving?"
"AFTER THEM!"
And so the Journey continues.
