" I will be continuing on with the mission, Hokage-sama."
Hiruzen was shocked, he looked at Shiiro and thought
' Is this child not tired at all? He fought for days on end and he still wants to finish this mission?'
But as soon as he heard the reason of Shiiro he smiled and felt proud.
" Hokage-sama, if this ever happened to Konohagakure. I will not see myself out of it, I will be persevering and if i have to risk my life for the village then I will do so with pride and honor in mind.
Even if the adversity against me is unbearable, i will bear the burden and continue on lord Hokage.
I will try my best to finish this mission as my Ninja way is to never give up and continue to walk my path no matter the adversities. "
Hiruzen could see the intense and serious look of Shiiro Uchiha in front of him, and decided to let Shiiro finish his mission.
' This is a great opportunity to test my strength against many enemies of the same capabilities and even power too, heh why would i waste this opportunity '
As soon as Hiruzen disappeared a devilish smile like face of Shiiro was projected behind him but his face in reality was just as serious as when hiruzen was talking to him.
' Since he was shocked by what I was able to do up until now, I'm pretty sure he would try to recruit me in the Anbu. But Danzo would do the same too if hiruzen told him what happened...'
'hmmm how should i deal with this after I graduate...'
While shiiro was grinning as he moved from tree to tree he suddenly felt 6 presence, It was the presence of the jounin squad that was protecting the Daimyo...
' What? What kind of bulls*** is this? '
Shiiro looked around him but he was surrounded by the pursuers, and not only that but they all were ready to kill as their bloodlust was oozing...
And as soon as Shiiro moved his hand
Fwoosh* Fwoosh* Fwoosh*
Three jounins rushed towards him and slashed Shiiro from all directions.
" Hmph a Shadow Clone, what a predictable brat."
Poof* Poof* Poof* Poof*
All the jounins disappeared in a puff as they were also shadow clones
' They were already able to tail behind me? Were they the Jounin squad that is protecting the daimyo?'
' Their f***ing crazy to leave behind their Daimyo, but damn they sure are fast and here for the sure kill.'
As we cut back to the Jounin Squad, we see 2 Jounins heading towards the Outpost while 4 Jounins was scattered throughout the battlefield, obviously using their Shadow Clones as well hence the reason they found Shiiro near the borders of the outposts and tried to kill him.
" 2 of you look for the brat as he may only be a distraction, Lets scatter and find traces of the enemy in the surrounding forest."
" We may have been a day or two late but they should have atleast finished gathering intel by now, so they might still be around hiding and using that brat as a bait... "
The thinking of a Jounin in a warring state is in full display albeit this may only be a Genjutsu, but with this Hiruzen is able to discern the capabilities of Shiiro to manipulate the people and his surroundings.
" Kill the brat and search his belongings, he might have been the intel gatherer and he might have the intel, It's just my hunch but he may be the only one here... Let's search fast here then gather together again in 30 minutes..."
Swoosh* Swoosh* Swoosh*
As the jounins scattered one by one, Shiiro was busy running towards the East Outpost. For all of them to arrive so quickly meant that they were the reinforcement sent, and the closest outpost should have been the East.
So obviously the Daimyo should have been there as well, Which makes this a great opportunity to take care of the Daimyo for Shiiro.
' Poof* wait for them to come by and scout how many you see. "
Swoosh* Swoosh*
A few minutes later, Shiiro is informed of what happened. His shadow clone died from 2 slices and could only see two Shinobi...
' This is bad, That bout with my Shadow Clone showed nothing much and I don't know how many of them are chasing me, well i guess except for the two...'
Shiiro hid behind a tree completely concealing his presence and chakra, and saw two Shinobi stop near where he was hiding.
" We can smell you and feel your beathing kid, This forest is extremely quiet so hearing your breathing is pretty much an easy task even for Chuunins"
" Why don't you come out now and leave us the hassle of Hide and Seek"
" Ah you caught me... Well why don't you spare me as I am only a child on his way home?"
Shiiro responded while still hiding behind a tree when suddenly
Swiiiisshh* Thuudd*
The tree that shiiro was hiding on was cut clean with a wind blade Wind Style Ninjutsu. This shocked Shiiro and quickly changed position...
" He- Hey now! I didn't do anything to the likes of you people why are you targetting me?"
The two jounins looked at each other and one responded...
" Give the intel you gathered to us and die a quick and painless death kid, Let's not waste time here. "
' Hmmm, how should i deal with these two...'
" Let's do this! I will give the intel back but one of you have to die? Will that work?"
The two jounin looked at each other and again just sliced the trees surrounding the forest...
This left a massive area where even if Shiiro tried to run they could just slice him up in a blink of an eye...
" Damn it! "
One jounin looked at Shiiro and immediately knew of his origin
" Huh, an Uchiha Brat of Konohagakure... It seems Konohagakure is part of this War now then."
" Let's kill him and hide his eyes, we may be able to use the Sharingan for
experimentations."
Fwoosh* Fwoosh*
Claaanngg*
Shiiro put all of his strength to block the two swords and was lunged out in the air.
But as soon as he lunged right up in the air he fired a Devastatingly strong Fireball jutsu, This burned the forest and had given Shiiro an opportunity to run away from them...
' Haah* Haah* Damn those guys were strong.'
Shiiro ran as fast as he could trying to survive the chase with the two Jounins, 15 Minutes had passed and the other jounins are still looking at the surrounding forest...
But as soon as Shiiro relaxed he again felt the presence of the 2 Jounin shinobis. This was extremely bad for Shiiro, he could only think of retreating and resting first.
In this Genjutsu world the allies of Konohagakure in the war are willing to help anybody as long as they are allied, so even just going to one friendly outpost would greatly help Shiiro in this situation.
Fortunately he knew of some friendly outposts but unfortunately they are a day far if walked, and with Shiiros condition it could take at most 12 hours to arrive there...
' I'll need to get to the friendly outpost fast and request for some reinforcement on fighting these jounins...'
But as Shiiro was heading towards the friendly outpost one jounin was able to keep up to him. His shadow clone strategy again spotted the jounin, and killed the clone in one slash.
' F*** he's here already, he was a Wind Style user too. Great fighting a wind style user would be a losing battle.'
Shiiro again hid behind a tree and as soon as the jounin jumped near Shiiro his right hand was sliced clean off by Shiiro....
" Ah, here you are." Poof*
Shiiro again started to run and was chased by the Jounin Shinobi, they were 10 Hours near the friendly outpost so Shiiro could only hope to run there as fast as possible for help...
" Where do you think your going kid? Enough of this chasing game of yours"
The Jounin was able to catch up to Shiiro and grabbed him at his neck. But when he looked at Shiiro he saw...
" Your Smiling?"
Shiiro then replied
" Yeah, Thanks for looking right at my eyes Ninja!"
Fwoooiinn*
A genjutsu was casted and led the Jounin Shinobi in disarray, Thus Shiiro had the opportunity to slice the head of the Jounin clean off...
As the jounin died, Shiiro ran as fast as he could to the friendly outpost and arrived safe and sound...
Shiiro hadn't used a Genjutsu empowered by the Sharingan. He only used a Genjutsu with his vast amount of chakra thus leaving the jounin in disarray and giving the opportunity to slice his head clean off...
Shiiro survived out of sheer luck when fighting the Jounin squad member, and he was able to convince the friendly outpost to scout the surroundings as the Jounin Squad could come any moment...
While the other jounin was lost somewhere in the forest, because they split up to cover more ground just to look for Shiiro. So when the other jounin found his companion dead, he immediately signalled for the others to come and regroup.
He didn't even chase for Shiiro and just waited for his other companions while burying the dead one.
When they all had regrouped the lingering chakra was sensed by the squad, the one jounin left reported to their acting leader and explained what happened.
He believes that the lingering chakra was a brute force of Genjutsu and it caused the disarray of the jounin that faced Shiiro, hence he was able to cleanly slice the head off.
The acting leader was not sympathetic neither was he angry at them both, they simply underestimated the child and it cost them his life... He was more on disappointed that he couldn't have come sooner to aide them both and kill the child quicker.
So instead of pushing their luck, they just retreated as their enemy outpost is near.
Shiiro on the other hand was resting in the friendly outpost and decided to clean and sharpen his Tonto Blade more, as he was doing so he begun to create a plan to kill off the Daimyo.
