Arrival of reinforcements

Author:

Before starting reading, I would also like to invite you to familiarize yourself with my author's work "The Path of Omniscience", where the main character is not a person, he is cold and insensitive to everything.

You can also support me on my PATRE0N where I publish chapters in advance. Just follow the link https://www.patrеon.com/lonhet or enter my nickname.

The wind gently blew over Samato's medium-length, wet hair and blew unpleasantly under clothes soaked in sweat and a small amount of blood. The cry of several birds could be heard around the area, which were occasionally interrupted by the clicking of a fire in the distance.

Sitting on the grass, with his eyes closed, Samato chased the chakra around in a circle, trying to restore at least a little chakra as soon as possible. Occasionally, painful sensations flashed across his face, which he tried to hide with a calm mask.

After sitting in silence for a few more minutes, Samato Meleno opened his eyes a little. Instantly, as soon as he did this, a new wave of pain pierced him, forcing him to close his their. Having experienced a sudden, rather strong wave of pain, Samato took a couple of deep breaths, trying to calm down.

"This is unpleasant, it will probably take more time to recover."

Putting his hand to his eyes, he rubbed them and sighed again, got up from the ground. Immediately, the unpleasant feeling of dirty, wet and sticky clothes intensified, making Samato's mood even worse.

"Now this… I need to change my clothes as soon as possible."

Skipping the unpleasant thoughts and feelings that arise, Samato approached the body wrapped in a white cloth. By touch, taking a loose sealing scroll from his hip and unfolding it on the corpse, he put his hand on it.

Folding the seal with his free hand and forcefully channeling the chakra, he activated the scroll. Immediately, the body with its accompanying sound disappeared in the clouds of smoke that appeared.

After a few seconds, the smoke settled, revealing only an unfolded scroll lying on the pressed grass. After staggering a little on the spot due to the rather significant costs of the chakra, Samato fell to the ground.

Probing the ground around him, after a while he found a scroll lying there and took it in his hands, rolled it up. After tying the holding string on the scrolls, Samato thought for a few seconds, after which he came to a certain conclusion, secured the scroll back on his hip. Standing up and touching his back, the scientist made sure that the large sealing scroll was securely fastened. Realizing that the samples obtained in this mission are not in danger of loss, he muttered.

- Okay, it's time to call Hiko… Um, I don't have a chakra... I guess it can't be helped... Hiko-san, I'm done!

It didn't take a couple of seconds, as a frightened man appeared next to Samato. Looking at the boy in front of him with dilated eyes, he crouched down in front of him.

- Samato, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you call me earlier?

- Don't worry, I just need to get some rest, it's fine.

- Are you sure?

- Yes, yes, just a little rest... about Kuzu, I put a cursed seal, and it sealed his eyes.

The still terrified man, finally noticing that the corpse was missing, frowned reproachfully and said.

- Did you seal it? What for? You didn't have enough chakra left anyway, you should have called me.

"What will happen if Ame-san sees you in such a bad state. I hope he didn't have time to return from his mission and he won't be in the reinforcements called."

- It's fine, don't worry, it won't take me long to restore it. About Kuzu, do you mind if I carry a sealing scroll with his corpse? When we arrive at the clan, I will personally hand him over to his father and you will have less problems.

Listening to the boy's slow and tired speech, a strained smile slowly appeared on Hiko's face, which Samato could not see. After listening to the end, he said uncertainly.

- It's okay, I'm counting on you.

Surprised by such a quick positive response, Samato was confused for a moment, but realizing that now was not the time for reflection and making a note in his head, he continued, feigning sadness.

- Hiko-san, can you please help me walk to the camp, it's just that I've overworked my eyes too much and I can't open them yet.

Looking at the boy's closed eyes, Hiko sighed sadly and picked up Samato in his arms, got up from the ground. Thinking about something, the man walked slowly towards Satoshi, who was sitting near the fire.

...

Sitting by the fire, Satoshi continued to look thoughtfully at the dancing flames. Suddenly, his attention was attracted by the rustle of approaching footsteps and turning around, he saw Hiko walking, who was holding an exhausted-looking Samato in his arms.

After carefully looking at his friend, the boy sighed to himself, feeling a strange feeling of envy. Meanwhile, Hiko, coming up to the fire, helped Samato to sit comfortably.

-Reinforcements should arrive in a few hours, so I advise you to rest as best you can.

Drawing a slight smile on his face, the man said, looking at Samato,, whose eyes were closed.

- OK.

Nodding his head, the scientist crossed his legs with a little effort and folded the hand seal, began to restore the chakra.

"Hiko is acting strangely towards me. I can't say for sure if it's good or not... Hmm, okay, it doesn't matter now, the main thing is to recover."

...

When the sun had already sunk below the horizon, and more than one batch of firewood was thrown into the fire, Hiko, whose face expressed boredom and fatigue, suddenly perked up.

Soon, gusts of wind were heard near the campfire, revealing a group of 4 ninja Hyuga, with gloomy expressions. With a delay of a second, also accompanied by wind currents, people belonging to Hiko's team arrived at the campfire.

Without giving anything to say, the man leading the arriving group, clasping his hands in a welcoming gesture, said in a serious voice with a hint of coldness.

- Hiko-san, our group was sent here in order to provide more serious security to the members of the main branch and safely deliver them to the clan. – Pronouncing each word clearly, the man simultaneously examined the surroundings, assessing the situation. As soon as his gaze reached the fire, near which only two children were sitting, his words were abruptly interrupted and frowning, he looked at Hiko again. - What is the situation at the moment, where is the nephew of the respected Elder Yoma?

Listening to the man in front of him, Hiko sighed to himself and answered with the same serious expression on his face.

- Tokishima-san, I understand… About the boy… Unfortunately, due to some situation that I will explain later, two people from my team were distracted. The bandit took advantage of this and using the wind-style technique, he was able to seriously injure Kuzu. Due to the peculiarities of the technique, the wound turned out to be serious and the boy died. More detailed, I will inform upon arrival in the clan.

Hearing the answer, Tokishima's face became gloomy and after thinking about something, he squinted and said.

- Yoma-dono and the other elders will be unhappy…

- Ahem, of course, I'm not thrilled myself. – Throwing a fleeting glance at Samato, who was sitting in front of bonfire, with his eyes closed, Hiko continued seriously. – You won't mind that upon arrival at the clan, we first went to the elder Hanshi. Children need to be provided with medical care.

Tokishima wanted to refuse, but after glancing at the exhausted children, one of whom turned in his direction, making him think.

- Okay, but we need to leave right now. Not far from us, on the border of our territories, there was a clash between several groups of Uchih and Senju.

Nodding with understanding, Hiko signaled to his group and quickly walked up to Samato, picked him up in his arms. Tokishima repeated the same actions, raising Satoshi. After exchanging glances, the men disappeared from their seats, jumped onto the branches of trees.
