I could see the caravan , it wasn't huge but quite enough to transport without carrying a ruckus.
All the ninjas had disguised themselves as merchants, which was technically common practice among them. Simply said, it was one of the oldest tricks in the book...however it works.
The chances of there being no sensor in the group were always high after all.
Fortunately for us, we had Daiki.
I could see one of them, a chunin, with a cap made of dark blue cloth on his head, His body seemed flexible and completely on gaurd. His hands inched towards the tree beside him...sneakily putting a mark on it.
' It's their first time using the route ' .
' This was good information, we could just report this back and we would be good ' .
Of course what goods they are transporting matter as well, but that is out of my paygrade.
However suddenly all of them stopped. the same chunin with the blue cap suddenly started knitting hand signs for a large scale jutsu.
'Wind style, wallower of blades'
A B-rank jutsu that sends small wind slashes with razor sharp edges...getting hit with it means simple fatality.
However the scale of it depends on the chakra outputted by the user.
' Fuck, we have been found out' .I thought as my hand slowly moved towards my sword.
The jutsu itself would not have been so dangerous had it not cut the hoard of trees sorrounding us.
" It's unnecessary to hide yourselves" he looked towards us as he spoke, " Come out Shinobis".
' Dangerous '
Since none of us made a move to come out, Their supposed captain ordered his ninjas to search for us, Their formation making any suprise attack difficult to execute.
" sir , there, I see white hair " One of them quickly spoke.
' Fuck you Kakashi'
Seeing as our leader had been found out, we made our way out of hiding.
" Attack!!!" the leading chunin shouted.
With that, a hoard of ninja , rushed straight at us.
my feet had already taken off and came in front of my first opponent.
Looked a bit younger than me, with a gaurd uniform, his grip firm on his kunai, " today I will show you the might of suna yo-" .
' Quick slash '
A fight was no place for words...my sword descended on the genin, his reaction a bit slow.
" fucking bitch " I muttered, all I wanted right now was to rest in the safety of the camp, yet I had to fight.
" Aaahhh" A scream rang out, His lack of focus and my suprisingly fast initiative lead him to loose his dominant hand.
'Had he not brought it in the way, I would have got his neck ' I thought with a sigh.
However he didn't have much time left.
My sword descended once again to which he responded haphazardly with his left hand.
I could feel the impact I was making, because another simple parry later my sword was in his throat.
" Ugh", he could barely make a sound as his blood gurgled out, his eyes wide open in a shocked manner.

I looked towards my teammates , seeing which one of them needed my help.
Kakashi and Daiki were fighting against the three chunin.
obito and rin against two short genins while Inuzuka brothers against another three.
'Shun shin no jutsu'
I quickly flickered right behind the genin that rin was fighting.
' Quick slash ' .
Before, he could even respond his head has already been decapitated.
' The ability to be aware of one's environment is far too important in a group battle '.
Had I not been as fast and unpredictable as I was, he could have blocked my stride.

The other genin was busy fighting Obito, who was clearly struggling for life so I joined the fight with another quick slash.
This time though, he dodged the slash with a quick step back.
" you, How are you here?... " , his eyes looked livid at the realisation of the loss of his teammate.
' Seen it too many times, however, Once the numbers shift, it's very difficult to change the tide of the battle.'
I responded with another quick slash, which he again dodged... I started pressing on the guy with sword strikes, parrying his blows and mounting pressure.
' He is keeping up '
He looked to be around thirteen years old , and with this sort of physicality, it was clear he was talented.
Obito had understood the situation at this point and went to join the Inuzuka brother's fight.
" You are the strongest genin here, aren't you ?" he questioned me while trying to strike his kunai in my heart.
" Regardless " he changed its course with a parry which was expected on his part, without the added back kick of course which pushed me back a metre...my ribs ached.
" You will be dead today fucker ". he suddenly started knitting hand signs.
" Fuck " escaped my lips as I quickly shun shined backwards.
'wind style ,wind cutter . '
A C rank singular slashing jutsu.
I quickly crouched down and let the jutsu pass however the next second a kick descent on the flat side of my blade.
' That kick was dangerous ' .
" You think, you are the only one who knows chakra flow ". he added, " yours isn't bad ,however mine is just better ".
" You talk too much ".
I quickly approached him with another quick slash that he dodged, seeing a kick approaching me, I slashed at it only for it to change into a liver kick.
" Fuck " saliva escaped my mouth as another back descended on my solar plexus.
I could see his smirking face and steeled my eyes.
" Your f-fucked " I spoke through shaky breaths.
In reality , I was fucked, and I knew that, I basically just learned quick slash. quick parry on the other hand is something that I haven't even got a feel for.
Sakumo's sword Kata consisted of 5 skills.
Quick slash - the one that I have learned.
Quick parry- another chakra flow technique
Fast jab - it's supposed to be paired with parry and strike as a jab with the sword.
Fast strike - it's supposed to make the sword sharper by a bit and faster at slashing.
The last was a special technique though.
In all of this, clearly I had learned nothing that could defeat this guy.
I could see him approaching, but the pain in my liver had me fixed to the root.
" That's the problem with you leaf shinobi, you think you are superior" he continued after another chakra enhanced front kick that I barely blocked. ," that is until you meet me ".
" Huff Huff" I was panting, and my hand was shaking.
I probably had a hairline fracture in my ribs.
He took his kunai in his hand , his face morphing into a disgusting glee full look.
' Fuck this, '
'Quick parry '
I remembered the technique that Sakumo kept doing...my chakra flowed through the channels, rushing like the flow of river. it reached my fist, then quickly climbed up to my biceps.
What it produced was a parry so quick and powerful, it knocked the kunai out of his hand.
" Argh " my muscles were probably stretched , " fuck you ".
' Fast jab '
The chakra flowed once more through my channels , tearing through many of them , flowing outwards coating my sword in a crude way.
However it worked, before he could raise his leg, my sword was in his heart.
