"How far will you run?!" Asked the ninja from the Hidden cloud as he chased down Shikomu.
Everytime he thought he would almost reach him, he would accelerate, causing him to have to keep up with him.
It had almost been a minute and they were quite far away from the original battlefield already considering the past they were moving it.
Suddenly however, Shikomu stopped when they were completely surrounded by trees, and moved so fast that the shinobi from the Hidden Cloud lost sight of him.
Shikomu would also use the seals he had made himself while practicing his fuinjutsu as he threw some explosive tags around to slow down his enemy.
However they weren't his speciality and thus didn't do insane amounts of damage and served just as a way to slow the enemy down or agitate them, which was working in this case.
Shikomu only worked on the seals for his personal formula of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu. Just because he didn't use it didn't mean he didn't need to get his equipment for when he would be able to.
"Dammit! Come out you bastard stop wasting my time!" The man shouted as he looked around to see the ninja he was chasing anywhere but was unable to.
"Are you a player?" The man heard and he immediately threw a Kunai in that direction.
"Why do you ask?"
Shikomu didn't say anything, and this time, his voice came from the other side of the fighting area.
"Nevermind that, are you a player of the Guilds?"
Again, the shinobi from the hidden cloud threw a kunai in that direction but it was obviously useless since it didn't hit anyone.
"Shut up and fight me!"
Last question.
Suddenly, Shikomu appeared right in front of the player from the Hidden cloud who got shocked at seeing Shikomu so close up.
Once the 8 gates were activated it definitely wasn't a pretty sight to see. Veins bulged from his face, and his entire body was red, while a green aura was clearly surrounding him.
However, after getting past the initial shock, the player threw his fist towards Shikomu, who caught it effortlessly.
The player struggled to move his hand and looked at Shikomu in disbelief.
"We weren't told there was an unregulated Jonin from the Hidden leaf! Who are you, identify your username and guild name this instant! We had an agreement!"
Shikomu however didn't care, as he simply grabbed the hand harder, to the point where he ripped the arm of the player off completely.
"FUCK!" He shouted. While the pain sensors were set to low, 10% was definitely still something.
However, instead of seeing an insane amount of blood gushing out, the arm he held in his hand simply crumbled into earth, as the player from the Hidden cloud grit his teeth while the earth they were standing on suddenly shot up and formed a makeshift arm.
It was clearly made up of earth and was brown in color however the player moved his arm around while continuing to grit his teeth.
"Is this stupid aura your aspect!" He spat, but received no reply from Shikomu, who suddenly had a smile on his face when he heard the word 'aspect.'
"I wasn't informed of an agreement from anyone in the Hidden Cloud." Shikomu calmly said as he moved away from the player.
"Are you dumb? It was initiated a couple of days back! Someone as strong as you has to be a part of a guild. Which one are you from!" The man demanded.
"Daggerblitz." Shikomu calmly stated, remembering the name of one of the guilds that is apparently active in the land of fire.
The man paused for a second and burst into laughter.
"It makes sense if you didn;t hear it then, you're from a 3rd tier Guild. All top guilds have been informed that we will be working to capture the 9 tails Jinchuriki who are inside of the Hidden Leaf. Anyways, considering you are so strong this early into the game you have to be a talented player in DaggerBlitz. What are you, the newest vice-guild master?"
When heard what the player had said, Shikomu narrowed his eyes slightly.
'Capturing the 9 tails Jinchuriki? Why would the players want that?' He couldn't help but think.
"I am just a normal player in the guild." Shikomu answered.
"Well just like a shitty guild to mistreat their players. How about this, you clearly have an aspect and have become a Jonin relatively early. Leave your shitty guild and join mine."
"And which guild are you from?"
"The Berserkers."
Seeing the stunned expression on Shikomu's face the man laughed happily.
"Yes, I am one of the 2 Vice-Guild Masters for one of the top 10 Guilds! Now, as a leader I can hire you as I wish and pay you plenty of Credits…but we can settle that later. For now, what do you say? Wish to help me."
"I am willing to jump ship." Shikomu said, bringing a smile to the players face.
"But I need to know your real name, username and the identity of the 9 tails Jinchuriki to verify what you are saying and to help you."
The player paused for a bit before he answered.
"Sure. My real name is Victor Gracefall. My username is surprisingly also Victor Yotsuki. However the last question is slightly more complicated."
"What do you mean?" Shikomu questioned.
"Well, we have information on where the Jinchuriki might be, but we have no idea where he is right now. However the higher-ups speculate that the Jinchuriki is probably going to be used as a last ditch effort by the Hidden Leaf and thus we have to destroy this army they have here and then march towards their main camp."
"If I defect, will the Hidden cloud accept me?" Shikomu asked, trying to sell his desire to move and join The Berserkers faction.
"The person I came with was the Jinchuriki of the 2 tails. I can put in a good word, you will probably be interrogated and then join us for providing any information that is valuable." He honestly shared.
"I see…also, why are the 2 tails Jinchuriki here?" Shikomu asked.
"Well, that depends, what do you know about Naido Namisha? Also known as the Mad Monk and the Disperser of the Cloud, and about Kakashi Hatake, Kakashi of the Sharingan the Copy Ninja."
Shikomu took on a thinking position where he scratched his chin thinking deeply before replying.
"Well, I know Kakashi is feared but not why. But Naido apparently has the ability to disperse any and all long range Jutsus from what I hear."
"I see, then it makes sense." He said while making eye contact with Shikomu and then continuing.
"They sent not only the 2 tailed Jinchuriki but the 8 Tails here as well. Their goal is to eliminate 2 major powerhouses of the Hidden Leaf. And apparently, the whole of Hidden Cloud wants Naido dead because of something that happened in the previous war."
"I see…" Shikomu said as he let go of his 8 gates form, and the aura he had surrounded him disappeared.
He then began walking towards Victor who got on guard immediately.
"What are you doing?"
"Urm…why don't you still trust me? I have more than proved to be cooperative." Shikomu asked as he raised his hands to show he meant no harm.
"Well….no, tell me another piece of information that will be helpful and I will seal this deal." Victor asked.
"Urm…sure. The Hidden Leaf is lying that Jiraiya and Tsunade made it to the camp. In fact, Jiraiya was unable to convince Tsunade to join the camp."
Victor nodded as he heard that, happy with such valuable information. He then also began to walk closer to Victor and raised his hand that was made of Earth towards Victor.
"To have a good partnership." He said with a happy smile.
"To a good partnership." Shikomu said as he eagerly shook the hand of Victor.
"Yeah…about that." Victor chuckled, as his Earth hand slowly began to wrap itself around Victor's hand. "Did you really think I would let you join the Guild after you destroyed my hand? You must not know why we are called the Berserk Guild. We only listen to our master, everyone can DIE!"
As he shouted that, Shikomu got completely encased in Earth as Victor began to laugh madly.
However for some reason he then realized he couldn't move his body.
He tried to look around and he couldn't move.
He could move his eyeball around, so he was looking everywhere, at every angle for the slightest bit of clue yet he didn't get any.
He was slowly gaining back his Chakra with his aspect ability when he encased this idiot in front of him who actually trusted him.
He did realize that his show seemed slightly longer than usual for some reason, but it mostly merged into all the surroundings so it didn't seem like a big deal.
And the next second, he moved his hand out of the burial he had placed his opponent under.
The earth that encased him slowly cumbeled, but it would take a while for that to even happen since the Jutsu was still collecting his Chakra. He just needed to touch the Earth directly and he would gain the collect Chakra.
"What the fuck is going on." He muttered in utter fear of not being able to control his own body whatsoever.
And the next movement, he took 2 steps to the right and saw a small string of light glisten for a second.
The following second, he saw nothing as his head was cut off from his body.
[Game Over]
