Chapter 17 - Rescue mission

Two figures, Yuki and Mikoto were currently on the run, Konoha was getting further and further away from them until It completely disappeared from their sight.

"Come to think of it, it's our first mission together!" Said Yuki as he ran alongside Mikoto, she nodded her head and smiled brightly.

Yuki was stunned for a couple of seconds until he shook his head and smiled wryly "Are you nervous?" He asked her, "...Yes" she answered with a slight pause as Yuki chuckled and states "Don't worry too much about it, I'm pretty strong after all!", Mikoto snorted and mumbled "Narcissist!" But she knew how strong he is.

Mikoto could not defeat Yuki even while using her sharingan, it gave a huge blow to her as Yuki did not use his sharingan and still beat her.

After a few days of running, the couple reached the borders of Fire Country and Land of grass. They hid in the Woodlands as they remembered the details of the mission.

*flashback*

Hiruzen let out a puff of smoke as he rested his elbows on the desk and leaned forward.

"Yuki and Mikoto, as you already predict,a war is imminent. I had sent a team on a secret mission to the area where the Iwa forces were camping, however... the mission failed, there are around nine in the team including the leader, Hatake Sakumo. I want you both to go as support and bring them back home, do you accept?" He explained the situation and asked the main question.

Yuki smiled and looked at Mikoto who paled slightly in fear but nodded looking back at Yuki. "We accept Hokage-sama!" Yuki said as he stayed back in the office and coughed looking at Mikoto, who then left the room.

"Yuki, I heard you offended your Clan head!" Hiruzen spoke up as Yuki sighed and nodded his head, "Care to explain what happened?" He asked curiously as Yuki told him everything about how Fugaku was staring at his girlfriend and glared at Yuki who then released a bit of killing intent.

Hiruzen g.r.o.a.n.e.d as Yuki continued "Hokage-sama, I understand that I was at fault as well but he needs to understand that he was staring at his own brother's wife". Hiruzen nodded in agreement however what Yuki said before he left, left him shocked.

"The Uchiha clan is not what it used to be, keep an eye out on them!" Yuki warned and left. Mikoto who was waiting outside heard the last part and was surprised. Yuki's tone was very serious.

*flashback end*

"Yuki is something happening in the clan?!" She asked him silently but frantically. Yuki sighed and spoke up "Not right now, we have a mission..." Mikoto unwillingly looked away at the Land of Grass which was right infront of them.

*boom!*

Yuki and Mikoto stood up in battle stance and became extremely cautious. Yuki hopped to the top of the tree infront of him and looked to the place where the explosion occurred.

"Black smoke, 3 o'clock!" He said to his counterpart as they shushined, crossing the border of their own country.

Near the border of Fire country...

"So close!" Shouted one of the last three jonin who was rescued by Sakumo and the jonin duo. He was looking at the Fire country which was no less than three hundred metres away from them.

*zwip* *thud* he tripped on a wire and fell on the ground and paled in fear as nearly thirty shuriken were fired from the activated trap.

"Ahhh!!!" He shouted as the shuriken pierced through his flak jacket and penetrated his body. Within seconds he was covered in shurikens and died due to severe blood loss.

Sakumo and his remaining teammates glanced back and hopped away but then, another one of the Konoha jonins got caught up in a trap and exploded into smithereens, the last four got sprayed with his blood and clenched their fists.

*woosh*

"F.u.c.k!" Sakumo shouted as nearly fifty Iwa shinobi caught up to them. They were surrounded with no escape. While Sakumo was extremely powerful, he was mentally drained of energy and with the constant running and lack of sleep made him fragile, only being able to hold up against around three jonins.

But suddenly a scream came from the enemy's side.

Every one turned to the noise and stared in shock. "The devil's eye Yuki!" Had arrived along with another Uchiha jonin.

The Konoha team had the urge to cry In happiness however they controlled themselves and went to the duo.

"Go!" Yuki said to the four without looking back as they gave appreciative looks to him but took out their kunai and got into battle stance.

The fifty odd Iwa shinobi eyed Yuki like he was some sort of candy until one of them shouted "The devil's eye Yuki is mine!" And charged, only to be cut down at an extremely fast speed.

Yuki smirked and gave a loud roar and charged into the Hornet's nest.

He was moving in a fluid like motion, and each time he moves, more and more Iwa shinobi fell on the ground dead bleeding from their necks.

One Iwa anbu kicked him while another one stabbed at his stomach area. He back flipped as he kicked both in the chin(imagine Obito when he used his legs to block the Iwa ninja's hands so that Kakashi could kill him! But Yuki kicked up hitting their chins) and threw two kunai.

Within minutes, Yuki had massacred the fifty odd Iwa shinobi leaving one or two, to make himself more famous. The Konoha jonins looked at him in fear and respect as they all went back to Konoha.

Within three days they came back to Konoha and reported back to the Hokage as the couple immediately left, looking for a good house.
