Chapter 20

*Fwoosh*

*Fwoosh*

Five shinobi guarding a massive gate unsheathed their swords upon sensing approaching shinobi.

"Identify yourselves."

"Inform your clan-head, Uzumaki Ashina is here to see him," he said showing himself to the guards.

......

[Indra POV]

A month had passed since Mito joined my clan in this dimension, and sadly I've gotten bored of staying inside the dimension so I plan on leaving for a few days, the boredom from my past life is rearing its ugly head again. 'I wonder If I'm beginning to turn into a battle junkie.'

'I did get addicted easily in my past life anytime I found something exciting though so I might be right.'

*Sigh*

'I really need to stop this inner monologuing.'

'I should go pick a fight with someone, I should look for Uchiha clan members to bully, hopefully, I'd find Madara or Izuna.'

'I'd be leaving for a bit,' I told both my assistants, sending the information directly to their minds. I found out a week ago I can directly talk to the mind of anyone inside this dimension.

'Megumi I want you to continue watching Mito.' I told her specifically, cutting off the connection to Yuuta. She doesn't need to though, but even outside the dimension, I'd still know whatever is happening in it as long as I'm concentrated on knowing. Even if I'm not, the system would notify me immediately if something happens.

I created a portal to the gate of the old clan compound, I wouldn't have done that but I'm almost certain they're still shinobi there waiting just in case I show up.

.......

*Abandoned Hatake clan Compound*

"What's that?" a shinobi muttered pointing towards the purple portal that appeared right at the gate of the clan compound they've been watching for a few weeks now.

"Look!!! someone's coming out of it," another shinobi shouted out. The shinobi all brought out kunai and shuriken ready to attack whoever comes out. The moment they all saw the face of Indra, they riddled his body with their shuriken and kunai not giving him any time to prepare himself. Indra fell to his knees, spitting out blood before collapsing, dying to a random sneak attack.

"Is that it?" one of the attacking shinobi asked, surprising at how easy it was. "So that's the one known as the 'Bloodline mimic', he died so easily. I guess his bounty was this high only due to his bloodline, not his strength. Tch!!! disappointing!!"

"That does not matter, the bounty does," the shinobi who looks to be in charge said. Pointing at another random shinobi before saying, "You!!! go and seal his body in a storage scroll, so we can retrieve our money."

The shinobi hurriedly walked up to seal the body of Indra, the shinobi unfurled the sealing scroll on the floor, he then made the required hand seals, the scroll lights up. 'Huh?! it's not working," he exclaimed. The shinobi made the hand seals again, and the sealing scroll lights up before the body of Indra finally disappeared. 'Sealing complete!!!!' he thought excitedly, already imagining how they'd spend his share of the money from the bounty.

The shinobi picked up the sealing scroll, heading back to join his group of bounty hunters, he passed the scroll to their leader before they all turned around heading towards the Land of Fire bounty station about 2 days away from their current location.

"Boys before we turn in our bounty, we'd head towards Tanzaku-gai. We are going to gamble, drink and pick up women!!!!!! we're rich now boys!!!" the group leader excitedly screamed out.

Woo!!!

Woo!!!

They all screamed out too, throwing their hands up in excitement.

"I can't wait to visit the high-class hostess club!! having those host that attends to nobles. I've always dread of this kind of life," one of them said, with a lecherous look plastered on his face.

"Me too!!"

"I'm quitting after toward," another added to the ongoing excited comments.

The bounty hunting group partied at Tanzaku-gai for an entire week, spending their entire 5 million Ryo savings on gambling, alcohol, and women before heading towards the bounty station. Five million doesn't matter anymore. After all, they'd have 10 times that once they deliver the body of Indra to the bounty station.

..............

"What do you mean there's only a block of wood inside the scroll!!!!!!"

"We killed him!!!"

"I swear we killed him and sealed his body inside this scroll!!"

..............

In a massive plain, the Shimura clan and Sarutobi clan were about to engage in battle with the already declining Hagoromo clan. The Hagoromo clan were outnumbered by the joint forces of the clans, they had about 70 shinobi in total while the Shimura and Sarutobi clans were about 200 shinobi strong. The leader of this shinobi force is Sarutobi Sasuke, the current leader of the Sarutobi clan, a renowned shinobi known for his exceptional mastery of ninjutsu.

Sarutobi Sasuke walked forward by a few metres leaving his shinobi force behind, "Hagoromo Arashi, your clan is already finished, you're outnumbered and you have no hope of winning this fight. Surrender now and you'd be able to save your clan in exchange for your life," he said to the Hagoromo clan-head.

"The Hagoromo clan would fight till we're no more," came the heated reply from Arashi.

"Ah! I see! So you have chosen death!"

Snake → Rat → Snake → Tiger

'Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning'

Sasuke spews a stream of chakra infused ash from his mouth, the ash quickly forms and surrounds the region right in front of him.

Quickly forming another set of hand seals,

'Fire Release: Great Flame Technique'

He expels a large stream of flame from his mouth, the flame expands rapidly quickly coming in contact with the already lingering ash causing a massive explosion that engulfs the enemy shinobi force.

Sasuke jumped back out of the fire seemingly unharmed. "Attack the moment the fire clears," he said to his shinobi force. The moment the fire died out, they could all see a massive earth wall already on the brink of collapse due to protecting the Hagoromo clan from the jutsu attack.

Sasuke unsheathed his sword already preparing to attack, he ran towards Arashi the moment the wall completely collapsed, while his own force charged at the Hagoromo clan.

Sasuke aimed at the neck of Arashi, but the attack was parried, not letting Arashi a moment of rest, he continuously attacked from different angles waiting for a slip up from Arashi. Sasuke made the hand seal 'monkey' for a close range jutsu. 'Earth Release: Rock Gun Technique', bullet sized rocks shoot out of his mouth pelting the face of his opponent, Arashi tried to dodge the attack but the jutsu was too fast and the distance between them wasn't far enough for someone of his skill level to dodge. By the time Sasuke stopped shooting out the bullet sized rocks, Hagoromo Arashi the head of the Hagoromo clan was already dead, the fight sequence taking less than a minute for it to conclude.

The entire battlefield was a mess, the broken bodies of shinobi from both clans laid dead on the floor getting trampled over by the shinobi still fighting. The sound of various weapons colliding, screams of pain ringing out from different shinobi as swords dug into their skin, ripping their flesh or completely removing the limbs of their enemies. But this was of no concern to Sarutobi Sasuke, for he had just one duty and that was to his clan, 'death to the enemies of my clan,' he thought, joining in the carnage all in the name of protecting his clan.

The entire battle lasted an entire hour, and it ended with the complete and utter annihilation of the Hagoromo clan shinobi, A bloodied shinobi walked towards Sarutobi Sasuke, stepping over the bodies of the losers, sometimes kicking a dead body to two out of his way, he stopped at his side before speaking, "We have finished sealing the bodies of our dead shinobi, at least the recognisable ones."

"How many of our shinobi died Kenzo?" Sasuke asked.

Kenzo looked down hesitantly seemingly afraid of answering, clenching his fist resolutely, he walked slightly forward before replying, still not looking at the Sasuke, "Eighty of us."

"That much!!!!!" Sasuke exclaimed angrily. Moving his bloodied hand through his hair, "that doesn't matter, inform everyone, we're heading to the Hagoromo clan, we'd finish what we started here."

"Wait!! wait!!! what do you mean? there's no one strong enough left in the clan to oppose us, whatever is left of the clan would just be defenceless children or people not capable of fighting," Kenzo said, stuttering slightly, clearly blindsided by what Sasuke said. "I'm not going to be killing defenceless children Sasuke!"

Turning to face Kenzo, Sasuke replied angrily, pushing the chest of Kenzo and sending his ass to the floor, "I won't leave potential enemies for my clan Shimura Kenzo, the entirety of the Hagoromo clan would be uprooted today. You're the head of the Shimura clan, you better start acting like it."

.................

[Indra POV]

The moment my feet went through the portal, I already sensed the shinobi waiting for me, and their chakra reserves already made me disappointed. They most likely were just bounty hunters that had too much success hunting down small fries and now they had gotten too big-headed. Well, that doesn't matter to me, I have no interest in fighting them so I immediately made a wood clone replacing myself with it.

Watching the bounty hunters celebrate killing me was amusing, insects like them think they could actually kill me, I had no intentions of showing them how wrong they were though.

Creating a new portal a few meters behind them, I didn't bother concealing my chakra and yet they could even sense me. Taking those fools off my mind, I head towards the last known location of my target, the place would be later known as the Valley of the End, 'I have a very huge fox to fight, I can't wait!' I thought with an excited smile on my face.
