Falling to the ground in a very stealthy manner, Toru, now in the guise of Ino, looked around with narrowed eyes.
(The time has come for me to show my acting talent.)
Nodding her head, Toru prepared for this. The first thing he did when he was near the mansion, was to look at the surroundings. At each corner of the mansion there were four ninjas, each one looking at a specific spot, this was what the old village chief meant by the mansion having no blind spot, but that was what Toru's plan was for.
(I'll let them kidnap me...)
Squinting his eyes, Toru wondered to himself if he had managed to copy Ino's scent perfectly. The texture of her skin was very similar, but what he's still unclear about was the flowery scent Ino gives off.
(It seems that everything is in order. Then, the time has come, I must get closer to the mansion.)
Taking a deep breath while patting her cheeks, the expression on Toru's face, now with Ino's appearance, changed completely, now you could see a worried and lost girl.
Taking advantage of the fact that she had managed to get the right expression on her face, Toru approached the front door of the mansion.
"What is this place?"
Looking around, Toru pretended to be confused. At the same time, the ninjas guarding the place noticed the presence of this intruder, so they quickly appeared before this mysterious girl.
"Who are you and why are you here?"
Taking a step forward, the man holding a spear spoke, he had a depressing expression on his face, as well as having the appearance of a man in his forties.
"I... I don't know. I was on my way home, but... I think I got lost..."
Looking around, with a worried expression on his face, Toru tried to get these ninjas to believe him and, to his good fortune, this plan seemed to be working, so, clenching his fists of letting out a tear, Toru looked the ninjas in the eyes and continued with his performance.
"I saw a light in the distance, so I approached. I found this house, but I wasn't sure if it was okay to approach. Besides, it's already too late, my mom will be mad at me if I don't get home..."
One after another, tears came out of Toru's eyes, at the same time, the ninjas present looked at each other with a smile, they had found a pay raise after all.
On the other hand, while tears were running down his cheeks, Toru was laughing out loud inside his mind.
(Hahaha, I can't believe it. This somehow makes me feel excited).
With a smile that the ninjas couldn't see, Toru ducked his head and sighed. He was waiting for these naive idiots to allow him to enter the mansion, after all, a pretty and young girl was at the door of the mansion of a man who kidnaps young women, to miss this chance to earn good money would be stupid, so, one of the ninjas came over and wiped Toru's tears.
"Don't worry, cutie. We'll help you, but it's getting really cold right now, so how about you come in and drink something warm before you go? Sure, we'll give you a map so you can guide yourself."
Hearing those melodious words that made Toru barely able to contain his smile, he nodded his head while letting out a few more tears.
"It's okay... but I can't stay for too long."
"Sure, we'll take that into account. Go ahead."
Opening the door, the ninja tapped Toru's shoulder while smiling slightly, at the same time, this boy with the appearance of a girl was grinning mischievously while his eyes were shining brightly. Obviously, the ninja couldn't see the expression this girl had on her face due to the height difference.
(Second phase... completed)
Looking at the light at the end of the corridor, Toru couldn't wait to start this massacre.
-Outside the mansion-
Watching with the Byakugan, Hinata was surprised that Toru had taken Ino's appearance to infiltrate the mansion. Still, she felt with little concern for him, after all Toru was about to enter the lion's cage, and getting out of that place alive was possibly not an option. But from the bottom of her heart, she trusted him.
(He is entering the mansion...)
Squinting her eyes, Hinata could see Toru entering the place, but this made her feel uncomfortable, as the ninja accompanying her teammate was smiling in a disgusting way. However, this did not stop her from maintaining her determination. At the end of it all, she is in the middle of a dangerous mission, a single mistake and everything could end in disgrace...
(Toru-kun is very strong, so I shouldn't worry. I promised that I would change the way I am, so I shouldn't worry, I should trust Toru-kun, just as he trusts me).
Nodding her head and looking at the mansion door with determination in her eyes, Hinata promised herself that she would trust, trust her classmates, trust her teacher and, most important of all, trust herself.
On the other side, near that place, was Yamato, who watched everything with a stoic expression on his face. He was already aware of Toru's plan, so his job at the moment is to wait for his student's signal to begin the third phase of this mission.
(As expected, he adopted Ino's appearance to infiltrate. At first glance it is a very simple plan, but somehow it is too effective).
With a slight smile, Yamato waited patiently. Earlier, before starting the mission, Toru talked to him, giving him all the details of his plan. Considering that this mission is to test Toru's skills, for this guy to make the plan that will be used was more than fine, after all this mission is for him, for Asahi Toru.
Although like any good teacher, Yamato felt a little worried that the plan won't work and his student will get hurt, but then he remembered the report that Kakashi gave him about the fight against the one-tailed beast. This made Yamato shook his head, returning his stoic expression.
(This mission is for you, Toru. So let me see with my own eyes, how capable the Asahi clan is.)
Crossing his arms, Yamato was eager to see what was going on inside the mansion, however, the only one in the team with that ability was Hinata, so he resigned himself to wait for Toru's signal.
Like Hinata and Yamato, Ino was watching everything with a confused expression on her face.
(He... touched me a lot...)
Covering her body, Ino felt a shiver run down her back.
(I... I don't know what to think anymore. I tried to keep a cool head while we were on this mission, but Toru's making it hard for me!)
Shaking her head, Ino had to keep quiet, so the ninjas outside the mansion wouldn't discover her. So she took a seat on the ground and hugged her own knees while hiding her face in them.
Her face flushed as she remembered what happened a few minutes ago. Toru looked too serious, but the smile he gave her before dashing into the mansion made all the anger he felt go away in a second.
(I know... I know what I'm feeling... but...)
From hate to love there is only one step, she understood this perfectly, after all she suffered from this problem.
(But... no, I must not think about it. I can feel like that when this mission is over, for the time being, I must stay focused, otherwise I will end up ruining the mission and someone could get hurt).
Shaking her head, Ino let out a long sigh as she recovered from what happened a few minutes ago. After that, she returned to her initial position and stared at everything in silence.
But then, a voice rang through the earpiece, causing Hinata and Ino to raise their lairs.
[This is Yamato, we will wait for Toru to give the signal, what we will do when that happens is to immobilize the ninjas located outside the mansion. We must not fail, Toru is inside and any mistake can cost him his life].
Hearing Yamato's voice, Ino and Hinata looked at their targets. For this was that the team was divided into three specific locations, each had an equal number of enemies, except for Yamato, who had the most enemies to defeat. With this in mind, the girls looked at this seriously and prepared to begin.
-Inside the mansion-
Reaching the light that was emitted at the end of the corridor, Toru could see a large house with typical Japanese decoration, with the only thing that everything looked extremely expensive, but what caught Toru's attention the most, was to see the various ninjas guarding different points of the place.
At this point, Toru had to keep his act together, after all he is surrounded by people who can possibly see through his Henge no Jutsu, so any mistake, means a hasty massacre.
"You can stay here, I'll be right back."
With a friendly smile, the spear ninja showed Toru to a small waiting room. This room had a small table with cookies and tea, as well as having paintings that stood out on the walls of the place.
"Okay, I'll wait."
With a slight smile, Toru looked at the ninja and the ninja in response also smiled, leaving the room and closing the door.
After that and, making sure that the ninja is not in the place, Toru looked at the cookies and tea carefully and sighed.
(This is too obvious, any fool with a nose could notice the smell of sleeping pills in these cookies, not to mention the tea, which has a darker color than a chamomile tea would have...)
Shaking his head, Toru had already confirmed that he would be kidnapped from the beginning, well, that was the plan, so everything was going well.
However, the door to the room was locked, so the only option to get out is to break the wooden wall or burn the door, but doing that would ruin the plan, so all that was left was to wait for the guy with the spear to come back.
(If I don't eat at least one of these cookies, they'll realize I'm up to something. But...)
"Shakuton..."
Taking two cookies in his hands, Toru summoned the small fireball and threw them inside, something similar happened with the teacup, already a small part of the liquid was evaporated with Toru's ninjutsu.
-A few minutes later-
Staring at the wall without saying a word, Toru heard the footsteps approaching the room, so he laid down on the floor and closed his eyes, he also made sure to make his breathing a little slower so that the enemy would think he was asleep.
After a few seconds, the door opened and a man's voice was heard.
"Well done..."
Toru felt a little disgusted as this man reached over and stroked his thigh, but there was nothing to reproach here, after all he had done the same with Ino minutes before the mission started.
"Leave her in the room with the others..."
"Yes, sir..."
Nodding, the man put aside the spear and carried Toru in his arms, at this moment, an idea went through this boy's head, something funny.
So, pretending that he had been asleep, he slowly opened his eyes and pretended to be surprised.
"What are you doing?"
Trying to get loose, Toru tried to give small punches on the man's chest, obviously he is not using his full strength, otherwise the man would faint instantly.
"Let me go, you idiot, let me go!"
Shouting for help, Toru's performance was going too well, as the old man smirked as he watched Toru being led somewhere specific.
He continued to struggle without using his full strength until he reached the door of a room. Being there, other ninjas opened the door and then the guy with the spear threw Toru inside, closing the door a second later.
"What are you doing, let me out, you said you were going to help me!"
Slamming the door, Toru had a smile on his face, the infiltration had been a success, he couldn't hide this smile, however, some murmurs were heard inside the place. Then, turning around to see what was causing that noise, Toru's eyes widened as he saw about fourteen girls of different ages.
Just by looking at them Toru could tell that they were all between the ages of twelve and twenty.
(This is depressing...)
