Chase

Chase

We waited a few days before starting the plan to take Danzo down after that. During that time I stocked up on supplies in a very public manner so that when I actually started my mission it didn't seem suspicious. If anything Danzo would see me preparing and once my mission was announced think it was only natural that I was told before it was made public so I could prepare. This was not something unusual either as the third Hokage did similar with his own students so my sensei doing the same was in line with what he knew.-Updated chapters at novelhall.com

Hell it was a publicly known fact that Jiraiya was regularly out of the village gathering intelligence under the third Hokages orders. Once he learnt the details of my mission the old bastard definitely wouldn't fail to figure out the political benefits it would give my sensei even if I didn't actually get much done. The trick then became whether he would allow me to complete some of my mission before he made a move against me or if he'd act immediately. I had plans in place for both outcomes, especially if he personally made a move rather than sent his minion after me.-

The third Hokage had made it clear in the list of the mans criminal actions that Danzo possesses at least one of the eyes of Shisui Uchiha whose mangekyou ability was a sort of brainwashing genjutsu called [kotoamatsukami]. I was willing to bet my arm that was the sharingan he had in his right eye socket. This meant that if he personally showed up I needed to keep him from using that eye which was fairly easy to be honest. The moment his chakra moves towards that eye I was going to flicker away immediately.-

Perhaps before he fell into his current condition he'd be able to withstand chasing me at my full speed but now? His body was likely to collapse if he even attempted it and I even had the plan to have Akasha with me at all times so that even if he tried using a barrier to keep me in place she could just teleport me away. My sensei had already made it clear to me that spacetime ninjutsu like that were pretty much impossible to stop without another spacetime ninjutsu of which Danzo had no talent in.-

Now I was the disciple of the fifth Hokage, a powerful iryonin, beast master and powerful in my own right as well. Naturally many people would want to cozy up to me since I was now very politically important within the village. Thankfully no one was going to take it hard if I left them behind as my solitary personality was well known by this point. That said I could sense that some did try to tail me but I was so good at flickering by this point that I easily left after images behind. Normal shinobi even at the Jonin level had no chance of keeping up with me when I went all out like I was now.-

'Let the game begin.' i thought with a smirk as I sensed the tailing shinobi give up trying to match my speed.

'Multishadow clone jutsu!' I thought as dozens of shadow clones poofed into existence.

They all nodded and took off in different directions which will make tracking me a nightmare. Shadow clones left behind scent, footprints and even chakra signatures identical to the users so this made finding me in short order a VERY difficult process.-

These shadow clones also had another purpose that was beneficial, bandit extermination. Each of these clones were for better or worse me with a limited chakra and health pool. This meant they had my senses, strength and to a lesser degree durability. In other words just like I could run for days without tiring they could also do that and so this let me cover a much wider area to exterminate bandits in a shorter time frame.
