Chase(2)

Chase(2)

I hadn't made many clones but only the amount that wouldn't cause me much trouble even if they all got dispelled at the same time. A massive headache was about the length of trouble that scenario would cause me. My ploy worked too as whoever it was that were trying to follow me ended up meeting one of my shadow clones instead. There was a bit of a fight where my clone killed three of the like twenty shinobi that Danzo had clearly sent to reap my life before getting dispelled.-

I chuckled at the memories as I couldn't help but imagine the expressions of those Root shinobi now that they knew that not only were they following a clone but that said clone was able to kill three of them even while so massively outnumbered. Still personal amusement aside I was a bit serious when I saw the size of the force that had been sent after me. I had to admit that even I would have serious trouble staying alive against such a force as I was fairly certain they were either all Jonin or special Jonin and this time they WERE trying to kill me.-

'Lets thin the herd then.' I thought with a sharp gleam.

Focusing my chakra into my hands and feet with added lightning chakra I started rapidly covering the area in chakra mines using my sheep's ability. I covered a good half mile area in the things which cost me most of my chakra but that was fine as I took off my limiters and threw out a full strength punch which created a massive amount of disturbance. I quickly followed it up by summoning a shadow clone and dispelling it so my other shadow clones knew what was going on.-

That done I bolted away knowing that the Root shinobi would definitely head this way to check out what happened. About fifteen minutes later I heard my presents get set off one after the other making me grin as I sped up blurring across the land faster than the normal eye could follow. It wasn't quite as fast as when I flickered but was much more sustainable considering I was already low on chakra. I was rapidly fixing that though as I kneaded the two energies that comprised it together as I ran.-

Despite my trap I doubted I killed more than five of those chasing me and only then because i had made the trap to where it was on if they touched places they shouldn't that the trap went off until they hit the center of the trap. A good way to explain it was that I put mines on the sides while leaving the center clear of them until they got far enough into the minefield. At that point they were surrounded by mines and after one went off they all went off. It was a nasty but cheap trick that would only work the first time because of the surprise factor but that was it.-

I frowned however when I discovered on the second day that Danzo wasn't the only one hunting me as a squad of poorly disguised Iwagakure shinobi dispelled one of my clones and a pair from the Akatsuki another. I know they were hunting me and that it wasn't a coincidence because they literally said so before dispelling my clones. The Akatsuki pair were the most troublesome as one of them was apparently immortal as he was totally fine after my clone shoved a chakra flow covered fist through the guys neck and he just ignored it before rapidly recovering.-

I watched as his weird chakra flowed out into the ground like worms following my rough path down but stopped at a mere sixty meters down.

"Tch! The brat has gone too deep before leaving the area for me to track, the intel on him never mentioned that he specialized in earth release to be able to move through the earth like this." Kakuzu said irritably.

"If you can't track him then what the fuck are we supposed to do now!?" the immortal demanded angry while violently shaking Kakuzu.

"We move on to a different target then, the land of fire is full of high bounties for us to collect." Kakuzu said shaking the immortals grip casually.

"Ah man I'm sure lord Jashin would be so pleased if i sacrificed such a prodigy to him!" The immortal complained before they left.

Or to be more specific they acted like they left but quickly returned shortly afterwards thinking that they could trick me into showing up. After that they actually left as I watched them get further and further away until they finally left my range which was very far away from me. To my surprise however something else soon showed up overhead.-

I say something and not someone because whatever this thing was had the shape of a person but that was pretty much where the similarities ended. It seemed to casually swim through the earth with this weird aloe vera flytrap looking thing coming up around it's head. The most alarming thing however was that it seemed to be cloaking itself with natural energy or rather was giving of the presence of a plant.
