48 Chapter 48

Akira and Akuto managed to reach Konoha's base camp at Kiri borders with the whole team in forty minutes.

Listening to Yami's situation, Shikaku frowned as he was not sure whether only speed could help his student deal with five Kaguya Clan's jonin class ninja. After all they had too much bizzare bone techniques and crazy lust and instinct for battle. Yami could not retreat either because he had to buy time for his team to reach the base camp. Shikaku was helpless as he could not leave the camp now so he ordered a small scout team led by a branch Hyuga's chunin ninja to check the situation from afar.

After one more hour, Shikaku heard that they couldn't find any enemy or Yami and only traces of a bitter battle were left at the location. Now many allies knew Yami's brave actions so they were worried about him as they had gained huge respect for him. Akira and Akuto were feeling bitter and helpless because they realised that even if they were from the famed Uchiha clan, they were still too weak.

Yami though was currently lazing around inside his time dimension. Here he could enjoy double the time compared to outside so naturally his lazy instincts forced him to relax here. After eating big plum filling rice balls and five bowls of miso soup, Yami was feeling blessed because he could enjoy fresh cooked food anytime thanks to his action of storing food daily inside his inventory back when he trained inside the village.

His shadow clones were busy practicing the wood release jutsu which Tsunade gave him at a side. Yami had mastered them long ago but still wanted to gain insights and see if he could create new useful wood style jutsu. Now that he had perfect element affinities, everything depended on his imagination and perseverance.

Yami felt that he had rested enough now so he changed into black t shirt and black anbu pants before leaving his time dimension. He thought for a while and could only find these clothes right now which would compliment his pitch black sunglasses. Yami decided that he would order or even make black suits from back on earth when he had free time.

As expected he found a small scout team of Konoha in just few minutes searching for him. He revealed his presence to them and after a while, they departed for the base camp. Hyuga Mikio had a sorry look on his face because he had seen Yami's damaged eyes under the sunglasses with his byakugan. Yami was laughing inwardly though because his plan succeeded.

They reached the base camp in few minutes and Yami got scolded by his Shikaku sensei for choosing a risky tactic and worrying him. Nobody asked Yami to remove his sunglasses because they knew from Hyuga Mikio's report that he had injured his eyes during the battle.

Yami was summoned to head Commander's tent and went there reluctantly because he did not want to deal with Orochimaru but had no choice in this matter. The third Mizukage had been using only gurellia tactics for now so no large scale battle had occurred yet. Konoha was suffering casualties daily but they were nothing compared to its forces which were four thousand strong. Yami now wanted to act alone and complete some missions because he wanted to get unique bloodlines and jutsu from the enemies like Boil release, lava release etc. Kiri had too many bloodline clans and Yami who was usually lazy , was excited this time.

Yami admired the beautiful sea and many small island shadows in the distance for few minutes before heading towards the big tent belonging to Orochimaru. He hoped that Orochimaru did not have any ideas to use him as test subject or whatever otherwise Yami knew that it would be a drag but he did not mind erasing Orochimaru from existence..
