"Hold on a sec don't you need to interrogate them or sothing?" Izuna stops i from finishing them off.
i shakes her head in denial.
"It doesn't matter I already had an idea of the perpetrator besides the mont you free them they will commit suicide. So, it is better for to kill them."
i finishes her hand signs and slams her hand on the ground.
Izuna secretly activates his Sharingan to copy the jutsu.
'I have got a gist of Lava Release I just need so practice to learn it.'
"Lava Release: Molten Catastrophe"
Boom
The ground beneath the Anbu group trembles, creating a small rift. The rift erupts and releases a large amount of lava. The lava engulfs the Anbu groups and turns them into ashes.
The rift on the ground closes and everything returns to normal.
'Hmm It is a quite powerful jutsu but it is not feasible for quick fights. The ti required to cast this jutsu is quite large.'
Izuna shakes his head as he analyses the weakness of jutsu.
Sigh
i sighs in relief and turns to Izuna.
"I still have my doubts regarding you... but you have my gratitude for saving our lives."
"Miss i Miss i."
A frantic voice fells in their ears. The group turns around and notices a group of Anbus rushing towards them.
i and the group raise their guard for an unexpected enemy.
"It's us, Miss i"
One of the Anbu mbers in front removes his mask to reveal his face.
"Uncle Wakan"
i lowers her guard as she greets the newcor. Izuna nonchalantly looks at the group.
His attention is drawn by Ao, who is standing in the middle of the group. He curiously stares at Ao or to be more accurate at the sealing talisman tied around his ears.
'Strange very strange I have never seen such strange Fuinjutsu seals. I generally use seals on a scroll but I have never seen such sealing Talisman.'
Izuna secretly activates his Sharingan and closely inspect the talismans.
Shiver
A chill runs down Ao's spine as he warily surveys his surroundings.
Humm
Ao senses a gaze focused on him. He looks around to search for the intruder. Ao notices Izuna staring at him. He frowns and scrutinizes Izuna.
Ao brings his right hand in front of his right eye and makes a hand seal.
'Byakugan'
Ao activates his Byakugan and inspects Izuna's chakra signature. Blue chakra flows through Izuna's chakra system.
'There is no problem with his chakra system. His reserves are on par with a high-level jounin which is quite normal for many clan mbers. But why I feel a threat from this guy?'
Ao turns to i and speaks.
"Sorry, Miss i... for interrupting your discussion."
He points towards Izuna and Kimimaro and questions.
"Who is this person? There is no report of him being a part of the squad."
"Oh! He is he is" i frowns as she couldn't rember his na.
"What's your na again?... Earlier I forgot to ask your na."
""
Izuna speechlessly looks at i.
'I saved your life, and you didn't even bother to ask the na of your savior.'
Ahem
Izuna clears his throat and introduces himself.
"I am Yuito Yuki, a mber of Yuki clan."
He points at Kimimaro.
"This little guy over here is Yuto Yuki my little brother."
i nods head in approval as she narrates the entire event to Ao and Uncle Wakan.
Uncle Wakan turns to Izuna and bows his head in gratitude.
"i is like my daughter. You have my gratitude for saving her life."
Izuna shakes his head.
"It's fine. I was just passing by when I heard the sound of battle. So, I hid nearby to see the situation. After I figured out the situation, I helped her."
Kimimaro silently stares at Izuna and the group.
'So If I want to beco like ssenger-san I have to learn how to fool people.'
Kimimaro jots this down in his mory.
"If you don't mind I will continue my journey to Kiri." Izuna holds Kimimaro's hand and walks away from the group.
'I don't want any more trouble. Staying near them will spell more trouble for in the future. I better stay away from them.'
He hastily walks towards Kiri.
"Wait wait a sec!"
A sweet voice fells in his ears.
'Here cos the trouble.'
Izuna turns around and feigns confusion.
"Do you need sothing from Miss?"
i shakes her head and points out.
"Since both of you are moving towards Kiri and we are also returning to Kiri so so why don't we move together?"
'Sigh I can't refuse this can I? If I refuse... they might turn suspicious of . Why did I even bother to stop by and interfere in the fight when Ao and his group were on their way?'
"Very well we will tag along."
Izuna and Kimimaro join the group as they walk towards Kirigakure.
Ao walks near them and starts to question Izuna.
"Yuito right?"
Izuna nods his head in affirmation.
"So you are a mber of now almost extinct Yuki clan. What made you return to Kiri that also of all tis?"
Ao stops and looks at Izuna's expression before he continues.
"Kiri is at its most chaotic ti the infamy of the village as 'Bloody Mist' is spread throughout other nations. Many Shinobis are abandoning the village to leave a relatively peaceful life.
It was the reason Kiri created the Hunter-Nin Corp of Anbu to hunt down these deserters. So, why of all tis are you returning to the village?"
Ao continues to observe Izuna for any change in his expression.
'Is he doubting my credibility? But I haven't done anything suspicious to warrant his doubt. I never knew Ao was such a ticulous person.'
"He is here to bury his mother's ashes," i explains to Ao before Izuna could open his mouth.
Ao nods his head and maintains his distance from them. He is still monitoring Izuna for any suspicious activity.
"Yuito so that's your na. It... it lacks manliness."
""
'Did I choose the wrong na? I thought it would go quite well with my Yuki clan identity. Haku looked like a trap with his voice, na, and appearance.'
"My mother wanted a baby girl but I was born instead. So she gave such a na."
Izuna explains to i. i nods her head.
"With that appearance I think it quite suits you."
""
Izuna speechlessly looks at i.
They continue their journey towards Kiri as Ao constantly monitors Izuna's every move.
'Damn this half-ass pirate is staring at like a hawk. Should I gauge out that Byakugan of his? If he stares at for again then I will surely pluck out that Byakugan in the future.'
Izuna is pissed off by the continuous hawk-like gaze of Ao.
Shiver
Ao feels a chill run down his spine. He imdiately turns away from Izuna.
'Strange'. He mutters to himself.
Finally, they reach the entrance of the Kirigakure.
A giant arc of rock appears in their vision. There is a giant blue circular engraving with a symbol for 'Water' in Kanji carved on the arc.
The entrance is covered in mist as any Ninja patrols the walls of the village.
'So.. this is Kiri. It is my first ti here in Kiri.'
Izuna inspects Kiri. He notices several cylindrical buildings erected all over in Kiri.
At the entrance of the Kiri, a middle-aged man and an old man waits for the group.
The middle-aged man notices the group and hurriedly approaches them. He hugs i and imdiately questions her.
"i are you alright?"
"I am alright Father." i nods her head and explains the entire incident in detail.
Fuji turns to Izuna and thanks him.
"Thanks for saving my daughter."
Fuji curiously inspects Izuna but couldn't find any extraordinary feature except his handso face.
'His face is way too girly. Well all Yuki clan males have such features.' Fuji shakes his head and continues the conversation.
"Since you are the savior of my daughter I will allow you to enter the village without any exception. Kiri is in a pretty chaotic situation nowadays so always be on alert. Also as my gratitude, I will provide you with lodging."
Fuji signals a nearby shinobi. The shinobi leads Izuna and Kimimaro inside the village.
After their departure, Genji slowly walks up to Fuji and addresses him.
"You should keep an eye on him. Ao is suspicious of him. I have never seen Ao so guarded against sobody."
Fuji nods his head.
"Yes I can't be lenient anymore. They have attempted assassination on my daughter."
Fuji turs towards Wakan and orders him.
"Wakan you are one of my most trusted partners. I would like you to send soone to keep an eye on that Yuito. Also send soone to the village he ntioned to investigate his background. I want to know if he is telling the truth or not.
If he is telling truth then we can rope him in. There are no powerful Ice release users among our ranks. He can prove to be a worthy asset in our cause."
"Yes, Fuji-san." Wakan bows his head and turns towards his Anbu team.
He sends one of his Anbu mbers to keep an eye on Izuna and sends another to validate the background of Izuna.
On a nearby tree,
'So that's what they are planning. I can never lower my guard... can I?'
Izuna is eavesdropping on the conversation of the group by using his invisibility.
