The Plan (4)

Team A

"Why can't I be your disciple?" Ariko asked as she walked beside Yamamoto pouting while looking at him in a questioning gaze

"Because I don't want to" Yamamoto says as he walks ahead not even bothering to look at Ariko

"I need a real reason" Ariko demanded as he stayed in front of Yamamoto while walking backwards

"Ok. First of all I don't have time to be taking care of a brat who hasn't even gotten formal ninja training" Yamamoto says as he starts listing his reasons for refusal " Second, You are the daughter of the city lord and soon to be wife of the daimyō, I don't want to bring any problems for my clan when we haven't even started gaining reputation" He states again as he moves ahead of Ariko causing the girl to stop walking backwards and chase after him "And lastly, I just don't feel like" Yamamoto says as he walks faster making the girl wonder why his walking is equivalent to her running

"You can't use that as a reason, what if I have the potential to be a great ninja" Ariko says as she walks with a pouting face

Yamamoto then looks at the girl, then a picture of a boy overlaps with her, causing Yamamoto to be visibly stunned

"Ok, fine how about we do this" Yamamoto says as he stops moving causing the girl to look at him curiously as she also stops

"I will unlock your chakra and teach you clone justu and transformation technique, you will use those two things to escape from your fathers eye, if you manage to meet me at the city Tita I will take you as my disciple, How about that?" Yamamoto questions while looking at the girl curious at how she will answer

"Is that all, I thought you will give me something hard I can learn it right away" Ariko says as she pumps up her chest

"Very well then lets move to a clearing then I will unlock you chakra" Yamamoto says as he walks forward not knowing there is a smile gracing his lips

As the sun began to set, Yamamoto and Ariko sat cross-legged on a grassy clearing in the forest.

"Are you ready, Ariko?" Yamamoto asked, his voice serious and filled with gravity.

Ariko nodded, her eyes focused and determined. She had been wanting to achieve freedom for weeks, wanting to run away from her predetermined fate, now that her chance is here she won't back down.

Yamamoto placed his hand on Ariko's forehead, his chakra flowing into her body and unlocking her hidden potential. As Ariko's chakra began to flow freely, she could feel a surge of power coursing through her veins, and she knew that she was ready to learn.

"First, I will teach you the basics of clone jutsu," Yamamoto said, his tone earnest and serious. "This technique allows you to create an exact replica of yourself or any object."

Ariko's eyes widened in amazement as Yamamoto demonstrated the technique. With a few hand seals and a burst of chakra, a perfect copy of himself stood next to him.

"Wow," Ariko breathed, her mind reeling with the possibilities of this technique.

"But remember, this clone is just an illusion," Yamamoto reminded her. "It cannot attack or defend, and it will disappear if it takes any damage."

Ariko nodded, taking in every word Yamamoto said. She knew that this technique would require a lot of practice and precision to master.

"Now, onto the transformation technique," Yamamoto continued. "This technique allows you to change your appearance to that of another person or animal."

Again, Yamamoto demonstrated the technique, transforming into a small bird and then back into his human form.

"This technique can be useful for gathering information or tricking your enemies," Yamamoto explained.

Ariko listened intently, hanging onto every word. She was starting to understand the gravity and importance of mastering these techniques.

"Since the sun is already setting we will be camping here, you could practice if you want but let me teach you the basics of chakra and handsigns" Yamamoto says as he starts teaching Ariko the basics of chakra and handsigns

Very soon time passed by quickly under the teaching of Yamamoto , Jokes from Ariko and the scolding of Yamamoto the lesson went by quickly and ended in a cheerful atmosphere, with Ariko falling asleep on Yamamoto's lap

"Stupid Brat" Yamamoto mutters as memories of his own child flash in his mind, from his birth to his death at the hands of the bandits

Without knowing tears start flowing from his eyes and falling but he quickly catches it before it falls on Ariko's face

Team B

The night was dark and silent, as Yasuke, Yoru, and Ren made their way towards the enemy's main camp. They were accompanied by ninjas from the Senju clan, including Tobirama, who had joined them out of curiosity for the Hima clan.

As they approached the camp, Tobirama called for a halt and gathered everyone together. "We need a plan," he said, his eyes scanning the surrounding area. "We can't just charge in blindly."

Yasuke then turned to Tobimaru, the leader of the Senju clan group, for guidance. "What do you suggest?" he asked.

Tobimaru's face was set in a serious expression. "We need to split up and take out as many enemies as we can," he said. "And if anyone spots the city lord of the enemy, they should kill him. That will put an end to this war."

The group nodded in agreement and divided into smaller teams. Yasuke led his team towards the heart of the camp, his determination and confidence shining through. He was ready to prove himself and show that the Hima clan was not to be underestimated.

As they made their way through the camp, Yasuke and his team encountered a group of ninjas patrolling . Just when Yasuke and his group were about to sneak attack the ninjas there was an explosion at the back probably from Tobirama's fight

"Bastard" Yasuke curses under his breath as he sees the group of ninjas charging towards them and also a fat man running away from the camp, this man was the city lord of the enemy city

"You guys handle this, I will go after the city lord and put an end to this" not giving them anytime to respond Yasuke dashes at the city lord his ninjato ready to cut of his head But then, as Yasuke was about to strike down the city lord, a member of the Kaguya clan appeared out of nowhere and stood in his way. The Kaguya clan was known for their ferocity and lack of tactics, and this member seemed to embody those traits.

"Get out of my way," Yasuke growled, his sword at the ready.

The Kaguya clan member sneered. "I won't let you harm the city lord," he said, his eyes filled with a bloodlust.

Yasuke's eyes narrowed. "Why do you protect him?" he asked, confused. "you brought ninjas from other lands to fight in this war. Aren't you scared of what the Daiymo will do "

The city lord, who was cowering behind the Kaguya clan member, simply feigned ignorance and ran away, leaving Yasuke to face his opponent alone.

"Guess its just you and me weakling" The kaguya clan members states as bones comes out from his knuckles throwing his ninjato away

"I will make you take back what you said" Yasuke says as he also drops his ninjato and enters a fighting stance with orange flames covering his arms
