Land of Fire.
In the forest,
Swish!!
Hisato with haste easily visible on his face fled along with Hirito and the other two jonin still cut in half.
Left on the place where an exciting battle had just took place a cloaked figure, trapped in a light prison.
"Truly amazing! No wonder everyone wanted a piece of this big pie, to think even my room would shrunk!"
Naoki who was trapped inside couldn't teleport outside the light seal around him because his room that spanned 100 meters before was shrunk to the space with in the seal.
He now somewhat had a guess why Uzoshiogakure was invaded and destroyed as a result.
So many amazing sealing jutsu and a clan alone in the sea was holding it, anyone would be tempted to steal it.
"But then again, amazing it may be but it can't stop me!"
Said Naoki calmly, his eyes looking in the direction Hisato and rest had escaped.
Clink!
His words fell as surprisingly he put the sword in his hand back into the sheath, hiding it under the cloak.
Next he brought both of his hands next to each other with fingers closed and thumbs sticking out.
Suddenly a blue energy appeared on the thumbs of Naoki, who smashed them into the prison around him next moment.
Chakra Fusion: Counter Shock!!!!
Zzzzzz!!!!
Crack!
Yelled Naoki as his thumbs touched the light, a yellow electric arc flickering for a second, the light enclosing Naoki breaking into pieces next instance.
Boom!!!
What followed it was a huge explosion, fast wind generated due to the explosion uprooting the tree at some distance.
"An A-Rank Ninjutsu is nothing more than this, the combined effect of devil fruit and chakra is truly divine!"
Said Naoki who stood unharmed in the explosion, looking at the damage caused by his technique, emotion on his face.
But shaking his head Naoki quickly shifted his focus to what was important, closing his eyes as his observation haki spread.
ROOM-
In a few seconds, Naoki quickly located what he was looking for, the blue curtain once again spreading out and him disappearing.
-----------------
Swish!
In the woods, uzumaki squad was on the run, Hisato who had a pale face at the front, Hirito behind him carrying the incapacitated Uzumaki Jonin.
"We need to stop the bleeding or you might die of blood loss!"
Blood was dripping down from the wound on the chest of Hisato, seeing his situation Hirito couldn't help but come close to him and say so.
"Yes.... I might die! but if he catches upto us, we'll surely die!"
"We can't afford to stop and waste even a second, keep running till we reach the nearest town!"
...
Told Hisato in an anxious tone, Hirito at his words going silent, not able to come up with anything to convince him after these words of his.
"Huh?"
The squad continued to run but suddenly Hisato at front frowning, a familiar sensation passing through his body.
"No!! Watch Out!!!"
It didn't even take Hisato half a second to remember this sensation, yelling while exhausting all his strength.
Swish!!
Others were nowhere as quick as Hisato despite him being injured, a bit late to adjust as before Hirito, the son of clan chief, the cloaked figure suddenly appearing.
Stop!!!!
Seeing the enemy suddenly so close to Hirito, Hisato with a panicked face screamed but unfortunately of no use.
Counter Shock!!!
The helpless Hisato watched the enemy placing his both thumbs on the chest of the stunned Hirito, a yellow electric arc bursting.
Aghh!!
Hirito felt a strong force entering his body and exploding inside, blood bubbling out of his mouth as he groaned in pain, eyes going white next second.
Thud!
From the branch of the tree the unconscious Hirito fell down, with a thud banging on the ground, lying motionless there.
"You Bastard!!!!"
Swish!!!
Roared Hisato seeing the state of Hirito, losing his calm completely rushing towards Naoki madly, ignoring his injuries.
Amputate!
Though Naoki calmly pulled out the blade from the sheath and cut towards Hisato, who injured couldn't move as quickly as before, suddenly halting.
Thud!
With a thud, Hisato the Elite Jonin of Uzumaki Clan like the jonin earlier seperated into two from the waist as well, the upper and lower body tumbling down.
The last person standing at the end of the battle Naoki, the Uzumaki squad lying helpless around him.
"Though I already have done what I wanted to him, I don't mind adding more hearts to my collection!"
Thought Naoki looking at the unconscious Hirito and then the rest, he had just achieved his main purpose, he hadn't come here to kill them as for his plan to achieve, he needed them alive.
But some hearts away won't affect his plan much and he'll get good research material as well.
"Huh?"
Deciding to do it, Naoki took the first step towards Hisato but suddenly halting, his face changing.
SHAMBLES-
Without any hesitation he disappeared next second, leaving the incapacitated Uzumaki squad alone.
