The Tale Of Saratobo Uramaka.

Chapter 9: The Preparation

20 DAYS UNTIL THE INVASION.

Saratobo and seto are traveling to Kiso.

"So Sensei, what are the confirmed targets so far?" Saratobo asks.

"Well, my lord, as far as we are aware, Agarath will be attacked by a person named Irya, Kiso by Yuta, and Karakoro by Kashimo. We're not sure who's going after Windu nor Shibuya. Especially since you killed off one of their members, and the the other one no one has heard of nor does anybody have information on him. As for our village, we're also unsure who's attacking, or if it'll be attacked at all." Seto responds.

"I see, I'm just, unsure we're making the right choice here." Saratobo replies with worry.

"Why's that my lord?"

"Well, you felt how strong Kashimo is. I've battled him, technically twice now. I think we should've traveled to Karakoro instead. He's a real danger. Hibana and I just barely managed to beat him, and that was a clone of him too. Not even at full power as well!" Saratobo replies. His face was full of anxiety. He was nervous and worried.

With a small smile, Seto says, "well, my lord, Ichiro summoned us. He requested us to help him. He knows this 'Yuta' person very well. For Ichiro to ask for help is very unlike him. You should know. For him to ask for help is basically saying this Yuta person is pretty strong. Maybe on a different scale in comparison to Kashimo. If Lord Hitsuya didn't summon us, it's for good reason."

There was a long silence. Saratobo just couldn't imagine a world where lord Hitsuya and Hibana are just strong enough to beat Kashimo. He believes only he has the strength to take him down for good. However, he did accept the fact that Ichiro was asking for help. Seto was right. This was extremely out of place for someone like him. Ichiro believes in doing things alone, so for him to ask for help signifies a real danger. The journey continues, as time also continues to run out.

Civilians from both Agarath and Windu have left the villages into hideout. Both clan leaders are unsure of who is arriving. They believed the best choice was to just let everyone leave and be safe elsewhere. All the village leaders were also aware of the destructive power these people held. They knew that if they really wanted to, all of them could destroy their villages with ease. Everyone remaining was either a soldier, or a high ranking warrior. Everyone trained endlessly. After many battles, everyone refused to let their villages fall. Centuries of constant fighting and everyone found themselves at peace. Nobody wanted to lose that beautiful sight.

Back in The Outcast cave, 'A' was speaking to the shadow figure, and this time, a person in a robe.

"You must not kill anybody. Nobody at all, do you understand?" the shadow man said.

"Your task is simple, use as little power as possible, and put a huge scare on the lord and their people. Understood?" the man said.

"Yes, my lords." A replies.

"The village we're sending you is extremely weak. I would say the weakest across the whole land. If you use nothing but your blade, you will okay." the shadow man continued.

"Yes my lord, I will start heading to Windu this moment." A says as he turns around, ready to talk away, he quickly stops himself and asks, "my lords, there are 5 of us, but 6 villages, who is getting Shibuya?"

Both, the man in the robe and the shadow man laughed. Then, the shadow man says, "don't worry about that, we already have that covered, Abaddon. Oh, and before you go, don't use your energy. Although these people can't detect it, it's best you don't so they don't give them a feeling for them to try and figure out what it is. Stick to just your brutal strength and speed. You're in a class of your own anyways. Now go to Windu. I expect to hear good news."
