Impulsive decision.

That sound was like a switch in my brain.

My instincts kicked in very quickly giving me the feeling that time stood still.

Seeing the proximity of my two companions and the man, I guessed that they could not escape far before the explosion occurred.

Remembering the soru I knew I could escape but...they wouldn't make it, imagining a bloody scene of the two of them I don't know what happened in that moment in my head that I decided to save them.

So immediately make a decision with firm eyes.

Put your hands together as if you were praying and without holding back I overflowed all my chakra in two directions.

"Mokuton: Rope Style!" I quickly formed strands of hardened wood due to my overflow made on them.

Like a wolf's teeth they swiftly cocooned the man.

*BOOOM* A huge explosion forms sending us flying, especially me who was closest to the center.

*impact* *crack* *water*

It all happened so fast, the explosion, the man's last words and even Rai's quick act of pulling his foot off the man's head.

As the smoke disperses into the air, our protagonist emerges from the bushes with an elated expression.

A Yuu with a hardened body comes out from the plants with an angry face.

"Dammit! I almost thought I lost my arms! Rai! Sayuki! They owe me a big one!" Yuu with red eyes and breathing quickly shouts into the air while Sayuki and Rai come out from one side with an appearance that borders on the miserable.

Disheveled hair, bits of small twigs, and clothing that appears to have been through a great battle come out of the bushes.

Rai walks out as he holds the arm, apparently a piece of wood brushed against it.

Sayuki on his side seems not to have suffered much damage but one lens of his glasses is cracked and his right sleeve is missing but strangely his hand is intact.

So I turned my attention away from them and looked towards the place of the explosion.

There you can still see some remains of a half shell of wood.

Yuu manipulated the wood in such a way that it only covered the part that points towards our direction leaving the upper part free to the opposite of our direction so that the explosion dispersed in the opposite direction and the sky so that the wooden structure has less force what to counter (in simple words it is bad I covered the whole explosion if you want to protect yourself from it, the best thing would be to deflect it).

This can be seen in the large blob of destruction on the ground where much of it spread out in the opposite direction.

'That bastard had an arsenal of paper bombs'

'Luckily the bomb papers were under his chest so his body was able to absorb part of the blast even though some of it had stained me'

I say watching as large bloodstains slide onto my clothes.

"How fucking disgusting, it seems like I have to spend a lot of time in the water today" I don't think there has ever been a time when Yuu felt as much disgust as now.

I look at my hardened hands next to my totally destroyed sleeves (you can imagine the state of his upper garment).

*undo hardening*

'Thanks to the fact that I used hardening at the last minute I didn't lose my arms or damage them' For some reason Yuu spends more energy using armor Haki than hardening.

Then, remembering the previous situation, a question came to my mind.

'Previously when the man ambushed us with threads directly to my neck my haki didn't warn of any danger' I think for a moment but I can't find a convincing answer.

I turn my head back to my companions after hearing a small groan of pain.

"Oh!"

"Do not move"

"But it hurts, make it softer!"

"This is as soft as I can make it but if you want I can make it harder if you're not satisfied" She looks into his eyes.

"-No thanks, it's fine like that" He averts his gaze.

So she continues to do her job with the suture needle that she is stitching up a surprisingly large wound that Rai had on her arm.

"The wound is very deep, so you shouldn't move much so that it heals quickly"

Then she looks up as the sun shines through her lenses.

"You too should be treated quickly before you continue to lose more blood."

"Blood?" Then I felt a slight pain in my stomach.

In the center of my abdomen I saw what I appreciated to be a piece of wood embedded in my muscles.

So I put my hand on the piece of wood.

"Stop, don't-" And before he could finish speaking, he took out the piece of wood.

As if the cork is removed from a bottle, I feel like the blood comes out more constantly.

"Fool..."

....

Away from Yuu's mission, in the village, Master Izawa is quietly in his house while he drinks fine wine.

*drinks a sip*

"I wonder how the mission will go for those three, I had a hard time convincing the Hokage of this mission"

Then he starts to remember how they were in training.

*get up* *walk*

As Teacher Izawa approaches the window, he thinks about the trio's personality problems.

"Rai Uchiha, one of the last survivors of the Uchiha clan and a genius of the ninja academy, possesses powerful fire techniques just like his sister, he is usually a child who does not like to be left behind which makes him lose focus due to to his ego, plus he doesn't seem to want to get along with Yubeng Hakawa, which is strange since he never directly confronts him, which is curious"

"Sayuki Aburame, a genius descendant of the aburame clan, is usually known to have high intelligence due to the written tests and performance she gave but for some reason she almost never uses her intelligence because she seems to underestimate/look down on everyone, she always does the things by herself since she does not trust others to be up to her, someone who has a very big ego even though on the outside she shows the opposite with her low profile, without a doubt someone curious"

"Yubeng Hakawa, an ordinary ninja from the village of the leaf but no one to be underestimated, from the general knowledge that is known, he is an average ninja, without skills but few know that this normal boy hides many things like for For example, that Kekkei Genkai that darkens his skin giving him skin of steel, his blinking technique is fast almost comparable to Shisui's but he seems to have limits not to mention that instinct he has, it almost seems that they have eyes behind the head besides that he is a catcher -skirts, he is in a relationship with several kunoichi at the same time and I have even seen him very close to the Jinchuriki girl, all you need is the Uchiha girl and he will have two descendants of the largest clans hehehe, without a doubt the most interesting of the trio "
