Chapter 8 - The Plan

Land of Fire

Two days later

In the forest near the Clan's base

In the middle of the forest you can see Yamamoto currently meditating on the floor with his sword by his side resting on his back.

After the showdown with the clan head Aiko, Yamamoto had to rest for two days before he could be back in full strength even with the healing from Aiko's green flame.

He is currently waiting for the team he assembled to come with him to participate in the task assigned by the clan leader. The people he brought with him are the people that he believes could at least complete the mission even if he isn't with them.

"We are here Yamamoto-sama" a voice says breaking Yamamoto out of his meditative state as he looks up to see three people, Yasuke , Yoru another jonin of the clan and Ren a chunin of the clan who has the potential to become a jonin.

"Very well I will debriefing you all of the task" Yamamoto says as he brings out the map the clan head gave him from his ninja armor. Although he learned the act of reinforcing his arms in chakra to block attacks he still used the ninja armor to minimize the use of chakra to minimum range.

"We have been tasked to accept a mission each from this six cities then go to the daimyō for another mission earning both money and recognition but all this missions must be done within two weeks" Yamamoto says as he debriefs them of the task given keeping it as short and simple as possible.

"To do this we will split into two teams, me alone and you three, you three will go to Ryūzuki, Tōnero and Rumera while I'll take the rest of the remaining cities when we're done we will regroup back in the capital city, any questions" Yamamoto asks after stating the plan looking carefully at the three with a serious expression.

The three ninjas nodded with a serious expression on their face. They knew this mission was important to the development of the clan so they were prepared to die for it if it meant total completion of the mission.

Very soon they dispersed each going their own way with utmost speed aiming to finish the task within the time limit.

One days later

After one day of constant running Yamamoto as finally reached his destination, Hunō, the first out of the second three cities the clan head mentioned.

As he got there he noticed the vigilant and serious expression on the faces of the guards present.

This hinted him that something must have happened or is going to happen in the city.Not wanting to go to the city lord without any information on what is happening in the city, Yamamoto starts asking question to the residents while also eavesdropping on the guards and after 15 minutes of inspection Yamamoto finally found out what had happened. The daughter of the City lord has been kidnapped

"Based on what the people said and what I've heard from the guards it just happened yesterday night, that means the city lord shouldn't have sent anyone to search for her yet, looks like I still have a chance" Yamamoto says to himself as he walks out of the inn where he collected information from.

And with that being said Yamamoto dashes put of the city moving at full speed before stopping in front of a forest bending down to see three footprints on the grass.

"Hmm it seems it was a group of three that took the girl, if we are considering speed they won't have gone far but the direction they went will be a little tricky since I can't sense their chakra" Yamamoto contemplates as he stands up from his crouching positionHe then brings out his map and starts looking around it for possible routes they could take hoping to get some clues of where they are going.

"So there are three possible routes they could take when escaping with the girl, seems I need to go full speed and search all three routes maybe I could find traces or clue about them" Yamamoto says before putting chakra on his feet and Start jumping on the trees leaving behind afterimages.

Back to Team B

"We're here" Yasuke says as he orders the other two to stop their run and walk as they have reached their destination.

"Let's first gather information around the city first then regroup at the inn near the city square" Yasuke orders as they disperse to different directions of the city to ask questions.

'Hmm… why do the citizens look wary and anxious. Looks like something big is going on' Yasuke says in his head as he observes the behaviors of the people present noticing their expressions.

"Excuse me beautiful lady can you tell me whats happening" Yasuke says as he flashes the shop owner of the flower shop a smile immediately captivating her with his beauty "My my, you don't have to call me beautiful" the lady says as she covers her face trying to hide her red cheeks " they says there is going to be war with another city later and the city lord as requested help from major clans and famous wandering ninjas to fight for him" she adds with an anxiousness in her eyes. "Well thank you for the information my lady" Yasuke says as he kisses the woman's hands and left with a serious leaving behind a blushing mess of a woman.

After ten minutes of asking around he then goes to the inn near the city square where he sees Yoru and ren waiting for him by the table at the far corner.

"I take it you have all gotten enough information" Yasuke says as he sits I front of them. Noticing them nod their heads he motions for them to relay the information.

"I just learned that a neighboring city hired a lot of clans to attack the city and the city lord as requested some major clans and the daimyō to help send reinforcements but so far only a few of the major clans answered" Yoru states as he mentions some information that Yasuke didn't know causing the jonin to think.

"Also I heard that the Senju clan as already arrived in the city and according to the rumors Tobirama senju the brother of the current clan head of the senju clan is part of the reinforcements" Ren states delivering information that made Yasuke and Yoru contemplate.

"Change of plans we will be participating in the upcoming war, after the war is done we will head straight to the capital city, cause I believe that the city lord will mention us to the daimyō if we do splendidly well here, let's go" Yasuke says as he and the rest of the team leave the inn and arrive at the gate of the city lord where there was also another group of people staying there with the leader of the group being a man with white hair and three red marks on his face.

The white haired man noticing the three leaves his group and goes up to them while stretching his hands for an handshake "Hello there, my name is Tobirama Senju of the Senju clan can I inquire your name and which clan your from".

"Hello there Tobirama-San, my name is Yasuke Hima of the Hima clan, I'm sure you wouldn't have heard of us yet" Yasuke replies as he shakes Tobirama's hands pitting his guard up in case the other party tries something against him.

After listening the Yasuke's introduction Tobirama was intrigued as he hadn't heard of a clan with that name or people with orange hair, he couldn't help but want to ask more questions after hearing the 'yet' Yasuke spoke and the large amount of chakra seen in the ninja
