Three days went by as team Hiramasu was patrolling around the port town of Mizuhana.
At this point in time Hiramasu was pleasantly engrossed in his thoughts.
'The Anbu should have done enormous damage to the mist ninjas by now, and as so much time has passed and the fish hasn't bitten the hook it's pretty reliable to say that they are not going to try and retaliate.'
As he was halfway through his thoughts, Yujiro chimed up beside him.
"Sensei 4.2 kilometers North of us, Kiri ninjas are tracking our traces."
When Hiramasu heard this he was extremely annoyed.
'I just popped the alcohol and now you show up.'
As they were traveling, Hiramasu suddenly gave a command.
"We will head to the South East now."
As they changed direction, Hiramasu explained the real purpose of this mission.
"Are you serious, we are the bait?
Could you not just assign someone else to the role?
We are one of the most talented people our age, and we are sent as damn fish bait."
Hyori immediately complained about their role.
"It's precisely because you three are extremely talented that you are given this opportunity to safely experience life and death combat between Jonin."
Hiramasu stated.
"How is it safe? Yujiro just said that there are 3 Jonin and 6 chunins tracking us."
Mujin asked.
"Didn't Hyori say it already?"
Hiramasu asked confusedly.
"If you are playing the riddle master you can keep your secrets to yourself."
Mujin annoyedly told Hiramasu off.
In response Hiramasu merely laughed a bit.
"Who did you learn that way of speaking from?
Yujiro?
But no, as Hyori said, we are the bait, so obviously, we are not the fishermen.
So in the upcoming fight stay together, and try to stay out of the center part of the fight."
Meanwhile on the Kiri side.
"Kibaburi sama, they seem to have noticed us and are running away from us.
Should we pursue them?
It could be a trap."
A blonde sensory ninja of the Kiri team asked their leader.
As a response the team leader, a long black haired man with blueish white skin, responded arrogantly.
"Pursue, it's just four of them, and three of them are genin, just leave Hiramasu to me, and take care of the kids.
What kind of traps could hamper us when we have double the numbers and strength."
When he said that displeasure could be seen in the eyes of the two other Jonins.
And unseen to others, a sense of unease could be seen in the eyes of a white haired boy, with openish clothes.
When the Kiri squad could see the Konoha squad, team Hiramasu had already run over 23 kilometers to the position Hiramasu had targeted.
As a result
When they saw team Hiramasu almost every person in the Kiri team had expressions of mockery.
"Look at them, it's just Hiramasu and some brats.
No wonder they said that there are genins with him.
It's a fresh genin squad."
Only the white haired kid had an extremely bad feeling.
As a result they immediately increased their pace, rushing towards team Hiramasu.
When they were just 200 meters away, Hiramasu gave an unexpected command to his team.
"Scatter!"
He said that the three kids surrounding him split into three directions while Hiramasu slowed his pace and created 3 shadow clones and 3 mud clones.
Almost immediately, the trio could hear a fight going on behind them.
When they were around 500 meters away from the battlefield, they changed their course again and rushed towards the same direction.
As they reunited Kilometer away from the fight, Yujiro seemed to say something to the air.
"Go help Hiramasu sensei, we aren't so useless that we can't take care of a single Chunin."
As he said that a single boy with white hair stepped out to the clearing.
When he heard what the boy with the white eyes and black hair said, he immediately confirmed why he was having a feeling of unease.
The moment he was distracted, 12 people rushed out of the trees towards the direction he came from.
But when he looked at the people in black clothes and masks who had left, the boy with white eyes and black hair was already in front of him.
As a result he could only raise his hand to block his strike.
'A Hyuga, but why did I notice him so late?'
While he was pondering the reason.
The earth beneath him had already tried to trap his legs.
When he noticed this he immediately riled up his chakra and launched himself to the tree branches.
When he looked at his opponents, he could see a slim girl with black hair and eyes.
A burly boy with brown hair and brown eyes.
And the Hyuga that had attacked him a moment ago.
Meanwhile the trio had already gathered together in a branch 100 meters away from him.
Yujiro was the first one to voice his thoughts.
"He's a member of the Kaguya clan, when I tried to block his chakra points on his hand, he formed a bone membrane below his skin which prevented my chakra from blocking his chakra network."
Mujin almost immediately commented.
"Wasn't the Kaguya clan annihilated, how come there is one here?"
"Well apparently not, there is at least a survivor here. That means that they didn't do a clean job, they let people go."
When Yujiro heard Hyori's comment, his brow could not help but twitch.
And could not help but complain in response to his thoughts.
'Yeah what kind of person wouldn't kill the women and the children.
The one who did the job should look at Itachi and Obito for guidance, they did the job cleanly, only leaving Sasuke.'
Yujiro could not help but complain in his thoughts.
