Chapter 102 - – 100 A Game Of Catch
"A four-man team?"
Understanding that it was just a four-man team behind him, Kuroto pondered a little and finally decided to deal with the trouble himself.
After all, it will still take around 5 to 6 days for the convoy of Roran survivors to enter the territory of Rain. If their traces are exposed then it would bring an endless number of Sand Ninja here which is something Kuroto isn't interested in dealing with.
Making up his mind, Kuroto ordered the Kazekage puppet, "You'll follow the convoy from a distance!"
"Yes!" Kazekage puppet responded with a courteous nod and disappeared with a body flicker. contemporary romance
… Tenseigan…
With Kazekage's disappearance, Kuroto activated his Tenseigan to confirm the position of the four-man team of the Sand ninjas, as soon as he found their exact position, Kuroto also disappeared with a body flicker and rushed towards them.
In just a few breaths, he was already standing in front of the coming four man-team of Sand ninjas.
As soon as the ninjas of Sand Village saw a person appear in front of them; they didn't talk any nonsense and immediately scattered around and fired a signal.
The person standing in front of them was covering his body with a pure black cloak and a red demonic mask on the face, clearly highlighting the term 'Suspicious' no matter where you look.
Kuroto also didn't stop their action and let them send a signal to notify other search parties.
Kuroto can guess that the Sand Village is definitely going to carry out a comprehensive search of different regions, if he kills this four-man team, then he would literally be notifying them that there is some problem in this direction.
So, his aim is not to kill them but disrupt Sand's Search operation by confusing them, which would delay them as much as possible.
Not making them wait much longer another four-man team soon rushed over.
The leader of the team who was a chunin guarded himself with a defensive stance and asked sternly, "Who are you? Why are you here in the middle of nowhere?"
Kuroto noticed that the attention of all the sand ninjas presents around fell upon him, so tilting his head sideways he laughed comically, "Hehehe…"
"Me!? I am Oni-Man! As for why I am here…?" The last part of the sentence was said in an intimidating voice to increase the hype.
Waiting for Kuroto to complete the sentence, traces of sweat started to flow out of the ninjas present.
"I am here because…"
"I am here to…"
"Just speak already would you!" shouted the chunin in frustration.
"Alright, alright, don't get angry ninja-san it's not good for your health, hahaha..!" – Kuroto.
"That's it, I am done liste…"
"Wait-wait, you can't kill me don't kill me, at least… at least, before I die, let me at least speak my last words before I die…"
"Fine! Just get on with it already!"
"I am here…" whish… "Phew, that was dangerous!" Kuroto said as he wiped the fake sweat on the top of his mask.
"That was the last chance, next time instead of one shuriken, dozen will come, you hear."
"Hai hai, so as I was saying until leader-san interrupted me midway, which is not a very good thing, interrupting others midway could… cough-cough.. alright- alright… I get it… so I was here just to… play-catch-with-you-people…" – Kuroto stated the last part in one breath and immediately ran away and disappeared in the sand dunes in the blink of an eye.
The eyes of everyone were like buttons because of the unexpected action, all this hype just for this!!!
The person was obviously dressed as a suspicious person, not to mention his current actions actually ticked off the chunin leader so he naturally wouldn't let go of him so easily.
As a result, the scene became with Kuroto running in front and a large group of Sand ninjas chasing behind, while shouting constant insults at him, and this number kept on increasing.
While teasing them occasionally, Kuroto smiled secretly.
Kuroto's intentions are obvious, to disrupt the movements of the personnel involved in the search. And that's just exactly what he has done… Although he understands that some sensible ones would have noticed what he is doing but because they are ticked off, complementing with his suspicious identity, doesn't allow them to let him escape.
For the next few hours, Kuruto and Sand ninja played a game of catch, the number of chasers became as much as 40 Sand ninjas, Kuroto was very happy with this, the more the people chasing him, the more their search directions collapses.
"Assuming that the one four-man team is in charge of one region, by now I have disrupted about ten regions." – thought Kuroto while analyzing the results as he observed the chasing ninjas behind him.
By now the search of ten regions has already been disrupted, and become a mess, even if Sand wants to sort it out again, it will take time, not to mention they will have to start from scratch.
With his purpose achieved, Kuroto suddenly came to halt, following which all the 40 ninjas also came to a sudden halt, while everyone was catching their breaths, Kuroto spoke while raising his hand, "Alright everyone… it was fun playing catch with you all… let's play this game some other time again… until then goodbye…!!!" – after a courteous bow he immediately used the body flicker technique adding the effect of Rein Wheel interaction, his body turned into an afterimage and disappeared in the sand.
Looking at the figure that disappeared, everyone's eyes were like saucers and by the time no trace of his presence was left, mayhem broke out.
"Where did he go all of a sudden!?"
"How come disappeared in the blink of an eye?"
"I saw him, he suddenly accelerated and fly away!?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, how could he fly!?"
"Aww man, I was starting to enjoy this game of catch!"
"I know right!"
"Can we please eat now? I am hungry!"
The sand ninja who suddenly lost their target became a mess.
These sand ninjas are mostly genin class and a few chunin rank.
It is very easy for them to catch the Roran survivors who are just ordinary civilians, but it's a dream to catch Kuroto.
On the other side, Kuroto who just left behind the dumbfounded Sand ninjas was galloping on the desert alone.
Before he obtained the Ryuumyaku, Kuroto always needed to be mindful of his chakra consumptions, so playing such a game of Catch was never possible for him as it causes severe chakra loss, but now he can be a little unscrupulous.
After a while of running, he stopped and gasped for breath.
Although playing with the Sand ninjas was fun, Kuroto still can't be messy, after all, continuous use of the Body Flicker technique is also not very easy, so his body was a little overwhelmed.
"Heh… seems like I still can't be so careless!" – muttered Kuroto helplessly.
After a short rest, Kuroto sensed the position of the Kazekage puppet, then went towards it making a big circle around.
Three and a half days passed quickly.
These days, the Roran Survivors didn't stop at all and continued their travels for 24 hours a day, because of continuously rushing they managed to walk out of the deserts of the Land of Wind.
Now the land was hard and dried, therefore it was relatively easy to walk around in these areas.
Spreading a map on the ground, Kuroto muttered to himself, "As long as they cross the dried lands, they will successfully cross the border and enter into the territory of the Land of Rain."
After escorting the Caravans into the Land of Rain, Kuroto would no longer care about them.
At this point, he has already done everything he could for them. As for how Sara and the rest of the Roran Survivors live their lives in the Land of Rain, Kuroto neither has the ability nor any interest to intervene.
While he was thinking, Kazekage puppet who is in charge of the investigation came back with his report, "The Sand ninja have caught up!"
Listening to Kazekage's, Kuroto glanced in that direction coldly.
His previous plans successfully disrupted Sand Village's entire search operation, but as time passed, and based on the intelligence reports they must have gathered in the past few days; the high level of the Sand Village must have realized that the Roran Survivors are trying to escape into the territory of the Land of Rain.
Therefore, Sand Ninjas rushed in this direction and caught up with them.
Looking at the Sand ninjas that kept getting closer and closer, Kuroto muttered calmly, "Since you all have a death wish, then I might as well help you all with it…"
Initially, Kuroto had no interest in killing these Sand ninjas, not only would their death be meaningless but he would also be giving away intelligence of his abilities, but at this point, Sand Village has basically locked the position of the escape route Roran Survivors are taking, so simply disturbing their search directions would be useless, therefore Kuroto has no choice but to kill them here…
