CHAPTER 240 SAFE
CHAPTER 240 SAFEI ran through the camp. Moving passed people as I gained speed. Chakra in every part of my body I thought on the girls. They were far enough away that I couldn’t feel them from this distance, but there was something. An idea of a direction that I had to go to reach them.
Distracted, I hadn’t felt it before. I’d beat myself up later not understanding this quirk fully before I risked this. Only an hour had passed since I sent the clones out but 1 had gone at top speed straight North. I’d have to do the same.
I left the large clearing where the Konoha people had been staying at. Jumping up to a tree it was apparently the only way to travel in Naruto World. My chakra pushing me further, I was clearing 2 to 3 trees as I jumped to each branch.
My mind focused, this wasn’t the time to dawdle as I ate away the miles. I reviewed what I knew of Orochimaru as I did. I was honestly curious if he was actually dead. From what I remembered, Orochimaru had escaped the cursed seal from Sasuke, and attacked Itachi during the brotherly spat.
I was pretty sure Itachi had extended the fight to make that happen, thus freeing Sasuke from Orochimaru. Then he absorbed Orochimaru into a sword or something? Orochimaru made an appearance later when the dead Itachi came back to life, I knew that much.
Orochimaru had also left fail safes in Kabuto. His will trying to take over Kabuto’s body, Kabuto had fought back. Having his own will for the first time in his life. I couldn’t remember what happened to Kabuto in canon, but I knew he had to go.
The man was a medical ninja genius. I’d have to stay away from his hands. He could probably use all of Orochimaru’s attacks as well. Summoning the dead. That snake/sword attack. The Rashomon gates.
Itachi had beaten Orochimaru with a Genjutsu though. I had trapped Sasuke in a Genjutsu as well. Granted he probably could have escaped given more time, but still.
“Shit, he has the girls,” I mumbled. He probably knew the trick to Lust Element already. He most likely knew of the Makuramoto too, so catching him off guard with a Genjutsu wasn’t an option.
“Quirk, Haki, Nen, and Devil Fruit, it is.” I would have to stick with those 4 skills. I could channel chakra into my body for strength, maybe add some shadow clones. But to really catch him off guard I had to kill him quick and clean.
I came within a certain distance of the girls and felt them pulse in front of me from my quirk. I felt Reina, Nina, and Shinju. All weak but there. I did not feel Tayuya. I hoped that meant she was fine, but a few I had met during the Hunter Exam had died and they felt the same way. Simply gone from my
“I am a ninja, just like you,” she said, more firm with her words than I expected. In all honesty I had forgotten that she was. Chewing my lip I didn’t want to risk her either. I could tell she was confused, and most likely saw that there was something between my maids and I. However, right then she was a Chuunin. Ready to help protect the village at any time.
I didn’t like it, but nodded anyway. The room was a dead end. Heading out we went back to the main hall. My clone was already running the girls down the hall to where light leaked in from the crack I had made in the ground. Hinata and I headed in the opposite direction. Coming to an intersection I made 3 clones and we headed off in different directions.
