Fear is the emotion that every shinobi feels at some point in their life when they face an existence that can kill them with a single slight movement of their hand, in addition to their own fears and the past, a high-ranking shinobi has ever felt that fear for existences that surpass normal ninjas.
That thought settled in the jounin of kumogakure who was on a mission in search of some survivors of the destruction of the Uzumaki clan village, accompanied by about nine other people between the chunin and jounin ranks, they were moving naturally until he could witness something that disconcerted him.
A simple ray was all he could see before he and his squad could die without being able to do anything, a shinobi considered the elite of a village can only be treated like that by a unique type of people, the kage level ninjas.
-There is another platoon here, boys- said the voice of a man among the bodies of the Kumogakure squad with a calm and relaxed face despite the scene - Collect all your belongings, you may find something useful.
The twenty-seven-year-old man had dark skin full of healed wounds, his hair was a white color combed in an irregular way, his eyes were a yellow color similar to honey that showed a slight glint of amusement and his face full of sharp features was adorned by a diagonal cut on his right eye. He wore a simple black coat, gray pants and brown boots accompanied by a simple katana kept in a leather sheath.
-Mr. Tetsuya please a little slower- said a chunin who had appeared breathing heavily while two other chunin approached to search the corpses.
-I have to make sure things are okay and you know, a little speed is necessary for this task – said Tetsuya with a tone of voice that reflected that he was having fun with what he was doing – this is the fifth group that I eliminated in an hour.
-The attack ended less than 24 hours ago, it is normal that the enemy wants to make sure that the survivors are eliminated – said the chunin tiredly – even so, it is assumed that we must continue like this for a few more hours before resting.
-If it were up to me I would like this to happen more often, the last few months were a bit boring with the planning work – said Tetsuya as he waited for the other two chunin to finish their work – tell me one thing, has there been any report from the base yet?
-They are still the same after the last report Mr. Tetsuya – said the chunin with a more normal tone of voice – hopefully it hasn't even been ten minutes since we reported.
-Yes I suppose you are right – said Tetsuya as he flexed his legs – hurry up I want to get back to the activity we were entrusted with.
A few kilometers ahead was a ruined Kumogakure camp with several corpses that were being searched by a small group of four chunin.
-Miss Kazehime, it was confirmed that this was the only camp left and the missing shinobi were taken down by Mr. Tetsuya according to the latest reports from the base – said a chunin who had approached a girl who was in the center of the camp looking around as a mechanism to entertain herself while her subordinates.
The girl was about fifteen years old with carefully cared for pale skin, pale blue eyes with long black hair tied in a ponytail, and a youthful appearance typical of her age. Dressed in a leather jacket over a white tank top, black shorts, and black boots.
-Report everything found to the base – said the girl in a flat tone of voice without turning to look at the chunin while her legs unconsciously swung to a melody that repeated in her head – we will wait for orders until then.
In a large cave where once was a large camp of Iwagakure ninjas, it was now only turned into some remains of charcoal that fed some strong flames while a couple watched the scene at the entrance of the cave.
-Tell the chunin teams in the area to look for the patrols of this camp and eliminate them - said the voice of a woman with annoyance and a big frown - after that inform the base.
-Understood Mrs. Akane, but I also report the result of the mission - said the chunin seeing the remains that they had to investigate.
-File it as a minor incident - the woman said as she walked away in annoyance, her leather boots leaving burn marks behind her.
