Meeting the first time (Part-2)
"Hey, Big Glutton. How about not eating in the middle of a mission?", said Mikoto as they jump from trees to trees.
"I am hungry", said Shenron who put another Cake in his puffed and full mouth
"YOU JUST ATE YOU IDIOTIC GLUTTON", she raged
"Eat in times when one can eat. That is one of my mottoes. If I become hungry, I cannot fight to my fullest. This is inexcusable"
"Hmph", she snatched his cake from his hand
"Hey, that's my cake"
"I haven't eaten sweets in days"
"Then buy one for yourself and give me my cake", He tried to snatch it
"Hey Stop it"
"Give me. Give me back my cake"
"No, you have eaten enough already"
"I haven't eaten enoug--
She ate it before that, "Ha, serves you right..!! for eating sweets before me"
Grrrrrr
Fugaku who was running behind them narrowed his eyes, "They are close", muttered Fugaku
"Jealous?", asked Sakumo smirking as he came behind to talk to him
"It doesn't concern you", said Fugaku coldly
Sakumo didn't like this tone, but he let go. Their mission is underway.
-------
During their travel, They arrived at the small village, a very pitiful village, located near the borders of the Land of fire feeling the burden of war from both sides...
"What are we doing here?", asked Hiashi
"Ask him, it's his plan", Sakumo pointed at Shenron
"My plan is simple, we let the spies know that we are looking for them", Shenron said
"Why?", asked Hiashi
Shenron pointed at himself, "Aren't you aware, I am a wanted Fugitive, Iwa, Kumo and Kiri are after Uzumaki survivors. And like any other survivor, I am hiding. So, once I come out of hiding"
"They will follow up", Muttered Sakumo
"Exactly"
"How do we know that your plan will work", said Fugaku
"Oh Please, His plan always works, Sometimes I wonder if he is Nara in disguise", said Mikoto crossing her hands
Fugaku's eyes narrowed, "You know a lot about him. Quite a lot actually"
She shrugged, Sakumo shook his head in a sigh
"..."
Hiashi didn't care, As for Shenron, he felt the strange atmosphere between him and Fugaku.
"I calculate variations Fugaku san. And I am very good at it. Please trust in me"
"..."
"I don't trust you"
Shenron sighed and looked at Mikoto irritatingly.
She stared at him as well, 'What?'
'This is all your fault'
'How is it my fault that he does not like you'
They just scowled at each other for a while and talked all the way.
"..."
-------
(In the small shop of Ramen)
"And then Saito taught me his signature move!" Shenron exclaimed as he told Ayame what we had been doing that day, "it took me a while to get it, but now I can cook like Saito!"
"Well, that's nice of Saito," Ayame said, "although are you sure you should be learning how to cook? when you should be in the civilian academy or something"
Shenron smiled, "Times are hard babe, So I decided to follow my passion and invent my signature dish"
"Oh, invent your cooking style?" Ayame chuckled, "impressive," she said ruffling Shenron hair.
He grumbled as he patted his hair down, "watch the hair."
"Oh, is the little baby sensitive about his hair?" Ayame said in a baby voice.
Shenron smirked, "I am especially when it looks better than yours."
"What did you say punk?..!!"
"You heard me! You're just jealous of my beautiful luscious hair!"
"Ha! As if! Your hair is so thin and crumbly," she said running a finger down her side, "unlike mine! I bet you don't even use shampoo!"
"Well, of course, I don't, I'm an orphan! I don't even get soap some days!" Shenron grunted.
Ayame silently snapped and realized just who she was talking too.
She gulped, "s-sorry."
"Liar, you're not sorry," Shenron said in a weak voice, lowering his head in disappointment.
"No, I am, I'm really sorry Hayato, please, let me make it up to you," she said in a sad pitying voice.
"Will you do anything?" He asked.
"Sure. You want extra ramen?"
"No...I want you to go on a date with me!"
Ayame grumbled, "I can't believe I feel for that. Pervert."
He winked, "yup! So what do you say? pretty, I know an amazing ice cream bar a few stalls over, it'll be a short date! Someone as hot as you need something to cool her down," he said by giving the cheesy smile and wink.
Ayame rolled her eyes, "not in your life Hayato ."
"You're really weird Hayato," said the one who is sitting near him and eating Ramen with narrowed eyes, "one moment you're like super cool and stuff, and the next you're acting like a Baka."
Shenron shrugged, "Love makes fools of us all. Isn't that right sexy?" He winked at Ayame.
"Will you stop flirting with me for one second?!" Ayame called out as she took another customer's order.
"…"
"You look pretty"
"What?"
"I don't know of other days but... Today… You look pretty Ayame."
"Hayato-San", Shenron turned back only to have his face whitened, a single black hair beauty glaring at him.
Ow Ow Ow
She brought him out by ringing his ears...
"Leave me It hurts..!!"
"It Hurts?... That's good if it hurts", she said by ringing his ears more...
Ow Ow Ow
"Seriously Shenron..!! You can't just flirt within enemy Territory!" Mikoto cried out.
"She could be the spy for Iwa and use her body to seduce you!" Mikoto yelled.
Shenron smiled, "oh I hope she does."
Thwack!
There was a hit, a hard hit on his head...
"What are you doing?"
He smiled, "I don't know what you are talking about"
"I know you well, What are you doing"
"..."
"Seriously my lady, don't you think you are going way too far? Besides, Who are you to keep an eye on me, it's not like we are a couple or any-
BAM
Shenron was suddenly pushed towards the wall, with her staring at him, just being few centimeters apart.
Their lips were close, extremely close but not touching
*Gulp
She tilted her head a little and brought it even closer.
He closed his eyes, with his face entirely red.
"Don't get your hopes high, Pervert", came a whisper near Shenron's ears, as he opened his eyes.
"I-I should leave", he said with a red face, as he tried to shift and break her hold
BAM
She used another, arm and trap him using both her arms and a wall
"You know. You blush more than a girl. Someone like you, can not flirt, now why are you doing it"
"C-Can you please back away", he said entirely red
She brought her face near him... as he Gulped even harder
"Why?", she blew near his entirely red ears
"I am trying to show everyone that there is nothing between us", said Shenron
"What?", She separated herself from him
He sighed of relief, "Maybe you didn't realize it yet, But Fugaku has this crush on you and he is quite jealous of me"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Didn't you see how he reacted before this? He does not like it when I come near you, You two spend months in that small house, doing nothing but that brutal training. He Inevitably developed a crush on yo--
"He does not like me"
"You don't know that"
"Listen you idiotic Glutton, Fugaku is my childhood friend, I am friends with him since I couldn't even talk. He does not like me, He just does not like when I talk to an Orphan with a Destroyed Clan and with no status"
"Than Before"
"Fugaku is too prideful, he won't go after anyone, Elders will arrange his marriage, and he will rise in position with that marriage"
"What? He will not mary because he wants to, but because Elders want him to?"
"It's politics. Fugaku accepts that and with his ambitions, it's good as well. Since it will alleviate his political career. And every Uchiha will accept him as our New Head"
"That's it?"
"That's it"
"So, before I did was--
"Idiotic"
"Looks like I was mistaken, Hahahahahah", Shenron laughed like an Idiot
She used her arm and trap him using both her arms and a wall once again
*Gulp
She brought her face near him... as he blushed even worse.
"You know, You blush way too much for a guy. And besides, What you were doing before was just child's play, This is how you Flirt.. !!"
!!!
She let him go, "Come on, we have a job to do"
She was already gone
He hands subconsciously went to his lips, this feels... Lonely
-------
They spent the entire week, spreading the news there is an Uzumaki Survivor on the borders.
When they were making their way towards the next village. Shenron smirked.
"They took the bait", said Shenron
"You feel something", asked Sakumo
"Yes"
"Hiashi", said Sakumo
"Byakugan"
"..."
"There are five of them"
"We will follow them to their base, Spread around, Keep an Eye out, follow on their path, Uzumaki, they are here for you, Mikoto, you will stay with him."
"Understood"
"Good Luck, and don't die on me, Spread"
-------
(At a Large Village located near a Borders)
It was a pretty large village, with all other Villages under it, The Village was the main source of income for Konoha and a good resting spot for the Soldiers at the front line, also for the diplomates from across the border.
"You freaking bringing me to a brothel", whispered Mikoto
"What do you expect me to do, This is the safest place to lose their sight"
"There were better places you pervert"
"Blame your Father"
"What does he has to do with anything?"
"He assigned me under Senju Sannoto; That pervert kept teaching me pervy kinds of stuff"
She frowned, "And still you are so wet behind the ears"
"You talk like You have so much experience in this field"
"At least, I am better then you are, A guy who didn't even kiss yet"
!!!
"How did you know?"
She scoffed, "Oh Please, It's so obvious. Who will kiss a nerd and a Glutton like you"
"And what makes you the loving expert. Grandma. I bet you didn't have had your first kiss yet either. Then again, who would want to kiss an Ugly Grandma like you whose pride knows no bound"
She rolled her eyes, "Yeah right, I had my first kiss already"
!!!
"Really?"
"Hmph"
"By your mother or father?"
"N-No"
He chuckled, "Liar"
"Listen, you--"
Shhh
*Badump
"These guys are quite persistent and good at deleting their tracks", muttered Shenron, "Can't you use your Sharingan to track them?"
"No, I use Sharingan now, and it will blow up the cover. Besides, you can sense them perfectly"
"Your Sharingan could have been better"
With these guys spreading around, the spies of the enemy nation have to Spread around as well.
But their main aim is to follow up on the Uzumaki Survivor. That's why 2 of the spies were following him.
"What do I need to do once we are inside Brothel", she asked frowning
"Nothing"
"What?"
"Just a friendly reminder, We are going for a really expensive one, You are rich. You are paying, I don't have enough money"
-------
The brothel was filled with beautiful women and music.
"A brothel?" Two of the spies observing Shenron and Mikoto frowned.
Shenron and Mikoto had entered one of the best brothels around here. Only the wealthy could go there without shaming themselves. Two of the spies would be stopped at the front door, they need money in order to enter here.
"well? It's not like anyone could stop us, we could have our fun as well", said one of them chuckling
Another chuckled as well, as they disappeared.
"Noble san. Why did you only come now? Do you know how much we miss you?" A gorgeous woman approached the moment Shenron and Mikoto entered the building.
"Miss-us?"
Mikoto and Shenron just gawked at the woman in front of them
Mikoto knows this for a fact that with the Lady Handling Skills of Shenron, Its Literally Impossible for him to enter the Brothel for fun.
While Mikoto herself hated Perverts the most.
This woman is skilled. Very Skilled
"Noble San has brought his little girl this time, Say, which woman do you like, we have plenty for couples like you"
Mikoto scowled
"..."
"..."
"Noble San?"
Shenron who was always feeling the spies Chakra narrowed his eyes
"We won't be taking anything thank you for the offer though", He said smiling
"W-what"
"Use your eyes, we are leaving", Shenron said and Mikoto nodded
"W-wait"
She looked into her eyes, "We were never here, you never saw us, The ones that are after us, focus on them, make them swarm with the girls. Do you get me?"
"Yes", she said in a trance
"Do it now"
The Iwa shinobis lost Shenron and Mikoto in this crowd and the prostitutes.
They transformed and mixed into the crowd and with Shenron's sealing skills, they could not be sensed by even the Sensors, let alone these two spies.
-------
-Night-
A squad of 5 Iwa Spies was returning to their secret base at full speed through their exchange points.
The Mission was a failure today, They lost the team of Hatake Sakumo. But at least they have the Confirm information that there is another Uzumaki alive other than that Jinchiruki of Konoha.
Unknown to them, Sakumo and his team were following the spies.
Their path was filled with death, bodies, bloody bodies of Konoha shinobis or Civilians that came here. They were everywhere, Iwa shinobis just step on them and run past...
Shinobis don't care about the dead, it's the Samurai's useless honor... but as they ran, the leader was uncomfortable, there was this eerie feeling he can not wash off.
"Something is wrong"
"what is it, leader?"
"Do you think it was a trap?"
"A trap?"
"You don't feel it? This eerie feeling?"
"I don't... are you sure it's not the paranoia of not completing the mission"
"I hope... I hope"
But their trip goes effortlessly... the entire forest, nothing could hinder them... and the leader visibly relaxed, as he watched the coming end of the forest...
Despite that, The leader takes detours after detours to make sure... nothing was wrong, his subordinates were getting angry and angrier... but what could they do, this is a military village, and they are in a cold bloody war... so, they too took countless detours... after everything settles down, the leader took the straight path towards the end of the jungle, with a relaxing smile
'Look Like, I really was getting paranoid...'
"Thanks for exposing your campsite", a voice came, out of nowhere, shocking every single person out there.
!!!
The spies were caught stunned at that moment, Sakumo performs a Lightening quick dash towards his opponents, slashing 3 of them. The spies only feel the damage as Sakumo sheaths his sword.
They coughed blood after blood while they fell to the ground.
Sakumo turned around to see that Fugaku, Mikoto, and Hiashi has taken care of one person each.
Shenron didn't do anything.
-------
As they lay down hidden in the darkness, watching the enemy camp from a distance, Everyone had enough time to talk and discuss the strategies.
"Major, what do you have planned?", asked Shenron
"Mikoto take out the map", Sakumo said
She did
And with the pale moonlight as a light source, he examined the map and pointed at where they were
"Look here, this is our target's position. Although the enemy camp has quite a few patrolling shinobis, at the moment is already past the 1 am mark, and is the time when humans are easily tired"
He looked at everyone and nodded his head, in satisfaction, "Uzumaki, you have the highest range of us all, So, you will target the middle camp from the farthest distance. Clear?"
"Crystal"
"Fugaku you will be stationed here, Hiashi here and Mikoto here, Once Shenron attacked there will be chaos from there side, attack using the chaos, We will only poke and go all out with them. Clear?"
"Crystal"
In that moment of Chaos, I will be in charge of launching a sneak attack upon them, and you can cover me in case anything goes wrong"
Everyone nodded.
"However, once we start the attack, we cannot return via the route we came. Instead, we will go via this route instead. I have examined all possible routes carefully earlier, and chosen it. Returning back to base via this route will allow us to reduce the distance"
Everyone moved to their designated locations and started preparing.
[Sorry for the late release, I am very busy as of late]
