Sasuke Pov:
I stand on the rooftop of some poor persons' house. Staring into the distance and willing the kid to appear. I don't want to go looking for him. All I want to do is go back to Okanzais' cell and beat him to death.
My emotions are running wild after that revelation. It doesn't suprise me as much as it should though. Boruto was always going to cause trouble for the bastards that took him. Hearing it confirmed is a different story. And the consequences. I grit my teeth to ground myself.
We still need information from Okanzai. Killing him now would be annoying. Then I'd have to go find someone with more information. And everyone knows how fruitless that resulted.
Konohamaru's team makes a beeline for me. I school my emotions into a concrete mask. I nod at the three soldiers when they reach me, hoping to hell for good news.
"Sukenji's pegasus was a dead end. It appears that the kid jumped off way back. In his condition that could mean all matter of things. " Konohamaru starts.
"We believe he might be somewhere in the market area still. The lower parts and slums have been checked out. But there's something else. According to the kingdom entrance log, the kid had never been added to it. Other citizens are saying they've seen a 'wandering shadow' but not the features. That could be who we're after." Nimara guesses.
"There's been no blood trails or witnesses though for today. We haven't got much of a lead. We might have to get Kiba and Akemaru to sweep the area." Ikozabi twiddles his thumbs together. I nod not really hearing their words exeptct for the recurring message 'we haven't got a clue where he is'.
"Getting Kiba and Akemaru will be the best option. Go do that. Dismissed." I agree and jump to the cobblestone streets. Konohamaru's team leaves to find Kiba and Akemaru. I just hope they find them in time.
"I can't believe you two. Your absolutely pathetic. Why did I bother befriending you." An angry voice seethes from behind. I turn to the voice and see three kids emerge from an alleyway. They're covered in trash, mud and sporting an array bruises.
"Shut up Bokudo. The skinniest of the three yells. "This is your fault! That street rat, as you so eloquently put, was injured and we still lost! Everytime we've tried to fight him we lose! You're the one that is pathetic. I'm leaving. Why don't you go and fight the wandering shadow yourself if your so tough." He storms away.
The wandering shadow? I have my lead.
"You." I point to Bokudo, "Show me where the wandering shadow is." He jumps when he sees me approaching. But his face turns scornful.
"Do you know who I am? I'm the son of Zenko Daimo. Treat me with the respect I deserve, peasant." He shouts.
Zenko Daimo, the best tradesmen in the world. His fair judgement and charm have not been passed to his son.
"I don't care who your father is. Show me where the wandering shadow is before I skin you, little pig." I glare, drawing out my sword.
He points back into the alley they emerged from fear wide in his eyes. "All the way down the alley hiding on the left side." He squeaks.
"Show me."
He leads the way at a slow pace. "He'll kill me if I come back. Do you really want that?" He questions.
