10 Enter the Kiri (Parte-2)
They kept traveling at around high Jonin speeds... They were fast and it was taxing to travel so far... so fast...
But Yuki did not allow them to slow down till now...
They kept this pace throughout the day and into the night. Yuki honestly wasn't bothered by much because of this, not at all, but, the Jonins started to get tired.
They did, however, reach a coastal town by nightfall and hired a boat to take them across the ocean to Kiri.
"Alright everyone, Sleep, I will keep the lookout, we will discard the suppression seal the moment we get into the Kiri Borders", He looked at them for a while, "This might be your final resting place, where we are going is dangerous, we might not be able to return, I don't have anyone, Just a Younger brother that will be taken care of even without me, But you guys are different, you have parents, Wife, Children, Husband, Lover... If anyone wishes to return, I won't mind"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
No One spoke a word...
"Very well, Rest, I will inform you when we will be officially in Kiri... You have till mid-night to rest my friends"

(After 1 Hour)
He was standing on the boat using the quant pole to push the boat forward in the water.
"Why did you say those things earlier", asked Yugao as she came from behind
"Because they were necessary"
"You could have seriously damaged the spirit of our Forces this way"
"It's better to damage their spirits then having them killed..."
"But---
"Do you know where we are going?"
"Uh... Kiri"
"No Yugao... We are going to a war... do you know what happens in a war... people kill... People die... Do you want to leave Hayato?"
"..."
"Yugao... answer me..!!"
"No, I am afraid... to leave him"
"That's because you love him... you have a bond you wish to protect... and that bond is what makes you a human... that bond is what forces you to become strong... it's what forces you to become weak... I get it, running is shameful... it's cowardness, but you can always come back with a stronger counter-attack... But the moment you are killed, there is nothing left to do... completing your mission even at the cost of the death of your comrades... That's not bravery... that's stupid... I hope you will remember this yugao... always choose life instead of death"
[T/N: Hatake Sakumo did it, Obito did it, First Hokage did it as well, and they met with most brutal ending]

They were into the Kiri water border by midnight, and they all threw away the suppression seals since they are useless in front of Good Sensors anyway. The boat rocked gently across the calm seas as they sailed for over a week. Kiri was a far-away group of islands just off the coast and the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning, as such it rarely ever was much of a country that was involved with any major wars or rivalry. It was far removed, which was both good and bad.
(Day 8, Kiri Border)
The boat stopped a kilometer away from land as Konoha Shinobis hopped off and ran the rest of the way to land, water walking as quietly as they could. The boat then sailed away, intent for a trading port nearby to trade its goods, a boat coming all the way out here only to turn back would have been just too obvious.
They couldn't run, going that fast would only attract attention towards themselves. And around an hour later they came upon a campsite, a bandit campsite.
"What do we do?" 3 asked chewing his fish
"Do you know why we are here?", asked Yuki chewing his own fish
"Uh... To negotiate"
"Yes, then what do you think is what's most important in negotiation?"
"Mutual benefit", Yugo answered in place of 2.
"No, the answer is the desperation"
"Desperation?"
"Yes, The Rebels are desperate to throw Kiri's Government... But they are not in a position to ask anyone's help, they won't take the help of an outsider as well, even if it's given"
"Why? I mean isn't it a good thing?"
"Would you fight alongside an outsider you believe will stab you in the back?"
"Uh... No?"
"Yes, You won't... It's Stupid... So we will make them desperate, force them to sign the treaty with Konoha, and despite the risk fight alongside us"
"And How are we gonna do that sir? I mean, If we hurt the Rebels, or help Kiri's Government in any way, our coming here will go to waste right?"
Yuki's mouth curved, "Yugao tell them what you found"
"7 Days Ago, Captain (Yuki) asked me to find something that could be used as collateral against Rebels, and 3 Days Ago, I found a Bloodline Kiri User, Whoever he or she is, they not a part of the rebellion, yet suffering from the Kiri Government as usual"
"This guy or a girl to be exact, is our way in, we will bring them to the rebels, and use them to enter the Rebellion base"
"But how does that Corner the rebels into corporating with us?"
"You don't have to worry about that... we are going to be pretty wild in Kiri", Yuki laughed and looked at the beautiful scenery
-------
(Day 10, Kiri Abandoned Village)
"Everyone Be alert..!! We have twelve ninjas incoming! All chunin level!" Yuki cried out, "they're around….700 feet away!"
"Shit!!", Yelled Inuzuka
"Language", yelled Yuki.
"Seriously"
At that moment, a ship appeared...
The water was clear, so all could see the ship coming towards them...
