ren was now wearing totally black costume with a hood covering his head and white bandages wrapped under the eyes covering rest of the face and neck . the 173cm tall black figure looked like a villain from head to toe , was running in the sky with too fast speed.
every second the same figure would appear more than a kilometer away and kick the air again . with a small smoke cloud , he would disappear and appear again more than a kilometer away .
ren had used lighten weight rock jutsu to reduce his weight 5 kg lighter so his speed was five times faster than normal . ren was maintaining this speed despite the fact , he can still run way faster than this simply because he was searching for his target while spreading his sensory ability using chakra .
his shadow clones responsible for scouting the location of toshi chan have long been released as they have completed their job . the problem now was that somehow toshi chan had hidden his presence somewhere and ren was searching for any signs of his chakra signature . well this rogue ninja was really experienced in escaping from ninja chasing because he has covered his tracks really well . ren would sometimes find a rock clone or sometimes simple traps infused with his chakra . sensors were not perfect as they had to use their brains to distinguish the real escape route of their target from all sorts of distractions . but ren never relied on his brain so much and his lack of experience was clearly showing here . well he could not be blamed as it was practically his first time searching for a target after all .
finally after almost half an hour of searching here and there , ren found his target . toshi chan was actually disguised in a normal average looking civilian and walking on the crowded road of commercial town without any care . well he must have been really confident in his distractions but sorry for him as he encountered ren . ren did not destroy any set up toshi chan used as distractions because he could see many genjutsu and seals on them which would instantly alert toshi chan when destroyed. no wonder he was so confident as ren was an exception who excelled in both fuinjutsu and genjutsu while other sensory ninja may or may not have even a single speciality like this . seriously though this target was smart and had so much versatile knowledge so in ren's opinion his bounty should be higher than 56 million. well this was only a passing thought because for an A rank ninja which was elite jonin class , this bounty was already too high.
suddenly a black figure dropped in front of disguised toshi chan with a thud causing dirt clouds to fly . ren didnt give any chance of retaliation to toshi chan because even ren would be in trouble if he exploded a fast earth release jutsu in such close range . ren had activated his eternal mangekyo so he quickly used a slightly powerful genjutsu on toshi chan which used high chunin level chakra .
well this much chakra may seem insignificant to powerful ninja but the fact is that with sharingan and innate yin affinity, ren can use even the most dangerous B rank genjutsu with only low chunin level chakra . so you can say that the sharingan genjutsu ren casted on toshi chan was even more powerful than strong A rank genjutsu . while toshi chan started screaming while holding his head with both hands uncontrollably showing the terror he must be going through , ren was assaulted with a little pain in his eyes too and small lines of blood flowed out of his eye sockets . well ren felt only pain and not exhausted because simply he didnt lose much stamina and chakra after casting the jutsu . any average jonin class uchiha would have been out of stamina totally after casting genjutsu of same rank while higher class ones would also have lost most of their stamina if they weren't kage level .
fortunately ren's body was instantly nourished back to peak shape in less than a second with circulating his chakra . ren of course ignored the screams of women and vary looks of men and used shave to quickly disappear carrying unconscious toshi chan on his shoulder who had passed out after ren chopped at the back of his neck .
ren quickly arrived in the huge desert after exiting the commercial town and found a secluded place in the shadow of a more than 20 meters huge sand cube. ren quickly took a blood sample from unconscious toshi chan who didnt even flinch because he was too exhausted after experiencing death multiple times by sharp iron spikes through ren's genjutsu . ren absolutely had no pity for this rogue ninja as he must have been ready for death since the day he became an official ninja or killed somebody for the first time . so ren ended his life by slashing at his neck with a sharp kunai . a clean cut appeared on the fair neck and blood gushed out while toshi chan stopped breathing.
ren touched his body with his right hand and it magically disappeared. the body was actually sent inside ren's personal dimension . ren had not stored toshi chan in his dimension before because ren could feel with his powerful senses that there were 3 jonin class ninja in the small town . well it was war time so of course there will be sand ninja patrolling their towns and this particular small town was only a few ten kilometers away from fire country border . ren simply did not want anyone to find out about his powers because a ninja should always try his best to conceal his techniques except emergencies . the reason for toshi chan's quick demise was ren already had so much information about his skills from bingo book . ren didnt plan to let anyone print his skills in a small book and circulate his information all over the ninja world. ren was not afraid of anybody now but it doesn't mean that he was eager to attract unnecessary trouble . there were some characters like black zetsu and madara whom ren didnt want to encounter yet .
after storing the dead body of once an A class rogue nin , ren shot up in the sky ignoring the sand dust clouds formed by the force and dissapeared using soru with moonwalk .
from the memories of the enemy ninja whom ren captured after the attack on his cute children, ren knew the location of 2 nearby bounty houses. the one that ren chose now was a normal butcher shop. it was a good cover for a bounty house which stored dead bodies as the smell could be disguised .
" I want to see your boss . " ren said to normal looking buff butcher who was busy butchering meat near the counter . ren knew the hand signs they used for communication too so he signalled his purpose of collecting a bounty .
the butcher understood and went inside the shop quietly . after a minute one one eyed old man came out and asked ren to follow him inside . when the door was closed, ren sensed some C rank seals enforcing the room and was surprised by the good security.
" so what's your name young man ? this circle is small and I dont think I heard about anyone like you before ." the old man asked while scratching his beard.
" you can cake me crow . I'm new to this business and dont hope to get any other information from me ..." ren had no hatred with the old men but had to scare him a little to show his attitude. ren was sure that his description would be known to all the bounty houses in less than a week from now .
ren only directed a little of his killing intention and the old man started sweating . but ren was impressed as the old man didnt back down from fear ..
