Chapter 4

Surveying the battlefield, Akira began to clean up the area staring from the corpse of the two Anbu.

She walked toward the corpse cat and began a full body check, earning her compressed food, kunai, shuriken, and explosive talisman, a small medical kit and bandage, and other nessecities on a storage scroll.

Once she was over with the cat, she turned her attention to owl, making her nearly doubling the supplies that possess coupled with 1 million yen in cash.

Akira wondred about the prospect of getting rich from killing and stealing, but was pushed aside as it's too time consuming coupled with the amount of resources that you engage to track people, it isn't worth it.

Unless you are from the hidden villages, then you are really just using an already present network.

Unfortunately for Akira, she is no longer part of the hidden leaf village. In fact, Akira understood that she was the target of the leaf village network.

While thinking about all of this, Akira continues to look through the owl staff, assessing her gain and planning her escape, till she finds an unexpected scroll.

Akira is quite familiar with those. Usually, they contain a part of a secret technique. How could she not be? She has tried to exchange for one with the merit that she accumulated but was denied in the name of being hasty, that her foundation wasn't strong enough to bear it, and she scofed at that notion.

Akira cast a glance at the clothes of the Anbu, then took it and used the fire style to burn the corpse to ash.

Quickly packing everything up, Akira revised her plan on last.

Now that the immediate pursuit is dead, she has three days before the village catches up and sends a full team.

Now, she needs to make it to the border in less than two days, which means that Akira will pass twenty hours accelerating while resting for 10 minutes between each hour for maximum efficiency.

Akira knows that if she wishes to succeed, she has to be fast and silent, she need to reach the border between the land fire, the land of sand in two days to not give the pursuit a chance to kill her.

the only remaining issue is the border patrol, but that is a problem for when she makes it there. For now, Akira took a chakra pill to replenish her chackra reserve and accelerated toward her goals.

the pace that she needs to maintain is a harshe one, but she was willing to be persevering.

Akira pushed herself to her limits, determined to reach the border in time and evade the pursuit from the Hidden Leaf Village. She knew that time was of the essence and every moment counted. With her supplies gathered and her resolve strengthened, she embarked on her journey, maintaining a relentless pace.

For the next twenty hours, Akira pushed herself to accelerate, moving swiftly and quietly through the terrain. She understood the importance of being both fast and silent, avoiding unnecessary attention along the way. Every hour, she would rest for a brief 10 minutes, allowing her body to recuperate and regain some energy for the demanding journey.

Akira was aware of the challenges that awaited her at the border, particularly the border patrol. However, she knew that reaching the border within two days was crucial to avoid being caught. She remained focused on her immediate goal, putting the border patrol issue aside for now.

To sustain her physical and chakra stamina, Akira took a chakra pill to replenish her chakra reserves. This would help her maintain her speed and endurance throughout the arduous journey. She understood that perseverance was key to her success, and she was willing to push herself to her limits.

During the night, Akira allowed herself only four hours of sleep. Time was precious, and she couldn't afford to rest for long. After the short rest, she resumed her relentless pace, determined to make it to the border within the designated time frame.

As Akira moved forward, her mind focused on the path ahead and the challenges she would face. She was aware that the pursuit would be intense, but she remained steadfast in her determination to escape. With every step, she embraced the uncertainty of her future, knowing that her survival depended on her ability to stay one step ahead of her pursuers.

Two days and night later, at the border between the land of fire and the land of wind, there is a small forest spreading to different hills, in the highest hill, hidden between the leaves is the central outpost of the hidden leaf village. from there, several outposts had been spread to cover all the patrol areas.

Akira, now 12 km away from the small outpost, began thinking about the way to make through here.
