Naruto: Chronicles of A Fire Ninja

Chapter 151: Not a child

He didn't even think that he would be able to win. His only chance for survival was if he could stall for enough time until their leader could come to their rescue. The only thought running in his mind was, 'What kind of monster?... This kid is not human.'

The reason Kaida's shadow clone quickly killed those two chunin was because if they somehow came out of the genjutsu, then the clone would be outnumbered by those chunin. Since the shadow clones have a very big disadvantage when it comes to taking hits, just a single successful attack is enough to disperse them. So by killing those two, the clone had increased its winning chance by a huge margin.

"Are you thinking about running away?" Kaida's clone asked, seeing that the chunin was looking around for a way out.

"Run away from whom, you are just a brat. We were just caught off guard; otherwise, it would have been impossible for a brat like you to even lay a finger on us," the chunin said, trying to act tough.

"Well, how about now, since you are now fully alert? Should we try this once again?" the clone said with a smile on his face.

The smile which sent a shiver down the spine of that chunin.

"Don't underestimate me, you brat," the chunin said angrily.

Then he ran toward Kaida at full speed, holding a kunai in his hand. While running, he also sent some shuriken flying toward 'Kaida,' which were deflected without any problem. But then, out of a sudden, that chunin took out a smoke bomb from his pocket and threw it on the ground. It was not a normal smoke bomb but one with some very corrosive chemicals which could make it impossible for anyone to see for a while once it hit their eyes.

Thinking his attack was successful, the ninja went back and started making hand signs, and within seconds, the area in the smoke was bombarded with tens of fire bullets.

"Did you really think I would fall for that?" the clone said from behind of that chunin.

At that moment, the chunin knew that if he didn't do anything right now, he would die. As no one would lose such a good chance to attack just for a punch line (A.N: 😉).

The chunin just quickly used the iron skin jutsu, but before that jutsu could show any effect, he was slashed by a wind blade on his leg. Luckily, he had used the iron skin jutsu, which made his skin harder even though it had not activated completely.

Just as he thought that he saved himself, he felt an intense amount of heat coming from his back. And before he could turn, all of his vision was engulfed in red-hot fire. After shouting for 10 seconds, he went silent.

"This is too brutal. I should learn some new jutsu, as winning like this didn't feel great," the clone said to himself.

Then he began extinguishing the fire he had caused. Just as he was in the middle of his job, he also heard a loud sound coming from a little away.

'Someone got a tough one, huh?' the clone thought, right after which he also got the memory of that clone.

He quickly finished his work of extinguishing the fire and then dispersed itself. He knew that Kaida might come to look for him as well since one of the clones had messed up, so there were chances that something might go wrong with his mission too.

...

Shisui, who was continuously moving following the trail of the jonin, suddenly made a hand gesture for Kaida to stop. And both of them stopped all of a sudden; they were on the top of a tree, and Shisui was looking forward.

"No need to hide, I know you are there," Shisui said.

"You are Shisui Uchiha, right?" the jonin came out of the bush and then continued. "Don't attack, I am also from Konoha. I don't know why, but all of a sudden, the boy with you attacked me. I think there must be some misunderstanding; let's talk things out."

'Well, it is true that 'my clone' was the first one to attack him, but to think he is actually so shameless that he is now using the ally card to save his neck,' Kaida thought.

"I also think there is some misunderstanding because from our perspective, you have been following my brother right from when he left the village," Shisui said.

"That must be a coincidence. I was going on a mission with my team," the jonin said without an ounce of hesitation.

"So you want me to believe that you coincidentally followed my brother all the way from Konoha till here and then coincidentally divided your team to follow the same path he and his clones had taken..."

Shisui said this much and then suddenly appeared right behind the jonin with his katana right at the jonin's neck and then continued, "And you are slowly building your chakra to attack us."

Before the jonin could give a reply, Shisui sliced off his neck. Right after that, Kaida appeared beside Shisui and asked, "Why did you kill him, brother? We should have caught him alive for interrogation."

"Kaida, from what I know, the person behind them is not someone you can mess with. Even our whole clan can't directly go against him, let alone you. For now, he doesn't know your power level, but if we took this person with us alive who had seen your true power level, then you will lose a very good trump card since if that person forced us to release his subordinate, we would have to do that," Shisui said.

"Brother, do you think I am some little child? Why are you not telling me the name of their leader?" Kaida asked.

"No particular reason, I just don't want you to get into the politics of Konoha from such a young age," Shisui said.

"But brother, I think I am already involved in that said politics," Kaida said, pointing toward the dead body of the jonin.

sigh

"You are right, but remember what I am going to tell you is a secret very few know, so don't go around telling people about this," Shisui said.
