---------------------
An hour ago,
"This concludes our trip to the village."
Amaru stops in front of a diner.
"This is the best food shop in the village. The food here is very delicious. But I can't afford to eat her often!"
Amaru sighs helplessly.
"Oh, Amaru-chan!"
The owner of the diner walks out of the shop. He notices Amaru and the group.
"You are here with friends?"
"No! No! It's not like that. I was just showing them around the village."
Amaru shakes her hands with a flustered face.
"Haha! It's fine. I will treat all of you to lunch. Doctor Shinnō has done so for us. A free meal once in a while is the least, I could do."
"Then I will take you on the generous offer."
Amaru gestures to Ayaka and the rest to enter.
A few minutes later,
Nom… Nom…
The girls gulp down their food happily as they chatter.
"Your food is as delicious as ever, Ōji-san!"
Amaru praises the food.
"Haha… I am glad you like it." The shop owner nods his head.
Aaa… Chomp…
Hanabi takes a big bite of the chicken meat and turns to Amaru.
"Amaru-chan, I never got to ask, but how old are you?"
Ayaka and Yakumo also turns to her.
"Me?!"
Amaru place down her chopsticks and counts on her finger.
"Hmm… I spent six years in the village orphanage and then another seven years with Shinnō Sensei. So, I am thirteen years old and I am about to turn fourteen."
"Oh!" Hanabi is surprised to hear her age.
"But you look a little too small for your age. My elder sister is also fourteen, and she is big."
Hanabi makes a curve sign around the chest.
Hmph…
"I am sorry if I am small. But I will grow with time." Amaru snorts at them.
Fufu… fufu…
Ayaka and Yakumo sniggers at the side.
Suddenly,
Whoosh… whoosh…
The girls hear wheezing sounds in the air.
"What's going on?!"
Ayaka quickly gazes out of the window. She notices a group of Sky shinobis flying through around the village.
"Them again?!"
Ayaka frowns at the appearance of the Sky shinobis.
"Why does this feel like a Déjà vu? First in Konoha, they appeared while we were celebrating in Yakiniku-Q. Then on Benisu Island, Miss Kanami was treating us to the seafood. Now here in this isolated village. What's the deal with these Sky shinobis?"
Ayaka angrily stares at the group of sky shinobis. She frantically turns to the group and warns them.
"It's the shinobis from Sky. They are attacking the village; we have to take cover."
"You four hide in the underground storage." The shop owner quickly gestures to them.
"No, I won't!"
Amaru stubbornly shakes her head. She attempts to dash out of the shop.
"Shinnō Sensei is still out. I have to find him."
"Wait, Amaru!" Ayaka chases after Amaru and tightly grabs her arm.
"It's dangerous out there! If you rush like this, then you might die under the attacks of the enemies."
Boom… Boom…
The Sky shinobis bombard the houses in the Nagano village.
BOOM…
A bomb falls near the girls' position and explodes.
AAAH…
The explosion hurls Ayaka and Amaru in the air.
Bang…
Ayaka pushes Amaru towards a pile of straws as she slams into a nearby tree.
"Shinnō Sensei! Amaru will save you."
Amaru ignores Ayaka and dashes towards the village.
Whoosh… whoosh…
Hanabi and Yakumo flickers towards Ayaka and support her.
"Are you ok?"
"I am alright!" Ayaka nods her head.
"But Amaru… she…"
"Let's save her!" Hanabi suggests.
Tch…
"We have no choice then!" Yakumo clicks her tongue.
"That's why I hate stubborn people." She remarks and dashes towards the explosion.
Swoosh…
A shadow clone of Izuna appears at their previous place.
'It's such a hassle! I have the urge to finish it up all, but then the girls won't learn anything. This mission is a learning experience for them. Dammit! Being a teacher is more work than I thought it to be. Is this the reason there are no Nara clan members teaching in the academy despite their high intelligence?'
"For now, I will evacuate the villagers to a safe spot. I will let the girls fight to gain more combat experience."
Whoosh…
The clone Izuna flickers towards the explosion.
"Shinnō Sensei! Shinnō Sensei! Where are you Shinnō Sensei?"
Amaru continues to dash around the village while yelling Shinnō's name.
Up in the air, In a sky ship;
"That's the girl! Be careful not to hurt her."
Shinnō points towards Amaru.
"I will descend. You know the rest?!"
"Yes, commander!" The Captain respectfully nods his head.
Boom… Boom…
Multiple explosions set off around Amaru as she continues her search.
"Amaru!"
Shinnō appears at the entrance of the village with a bag of herbs in his hand.
"Sensei!"
Amaru dashes towards Shinnōwith tears in her eyes.
BOOM…
An explosive shell falls from the sky and explodes in front of Shinnō.
"SENSEI!"
Amaru screams in terror as dust and smoke rises in the air.
WHOOSH… josei
Shinnō's bloody and charred body flies out of the explosion. It lands right in front of Amaru.
"SENSEI!"
Amaru frantically rushes towards Shinnōand supports him in her arms.
"SENSEI! Please don't leave me."
Drip… drip…
Large amounts of blood leaks from Shinnō's body and drenches Amaru's clothes.
"Sensei! I will use the medical knowledge you taught me to heal you. Everything will be alright!"
Amaru frantically takes a scalpel and tweezer to operate on Shinnō.
"A… Amaru! It's… its too late. Sensei is happy that you are fine!"
Shinnō gently touches Amaru's face with his bloody hands.
Shuash…
His body stops breathing and his heart stops beating as Shinnō's hand lifelessly falls to the ground.
"SENNNSSSEEEIIII!!!"
Amaru yells in despair with Shinnōcold corpse in her arms.
Whoosh… whoosh…
Ayaka, Hanabi, and Yakumo arrives at the scene.
"We were too late!"
They helplessly shake their head.
"Those sky shinobis held us back!" Yakumo clicks her tongue.
"Amaru…"
Ayaka walks towards Amaru to comfort her.
BOOM…
A blast of chakra falls from the flying destruction device and lands on top of the Ayaka and the girls.
"Ayaka!"
Amaru yells in desperation as Ayaka and the girls vanish into smoke.
HAHA…
"Serve them well for what they did to me?!"
AAAHH…
Amaru clutches her forehead and screams in agony.
Fwish… fwish…
Multiple dark chains rise from her body. The chains rapidly attack the flying shinobis and machines and absorb their chakra.
AAAH…
Dark purple chakra rises from Amaru's body as he drains one Sky shinobi after another.
The purple orb on her chest glows brightly and sucks all the chakra.
BOOM…
The dark chains wrap around the sky ship captain and pull him down. They drill through his body and drain his life force and chakra. The captain turns into an emaciated corpse.
AAAAHHHH…
The dark chains rampage around and slaughters every last remaining shinobi of the sky troupe.
AAAH…
Amaru clutches her forehead and passes out.
"Omoshiroi!"
Shinnō, who is pretending to be dead, wakes up. He wipes the blood around his body and makes some hand signs.
Swish… swish…
"Body Revival Technique"
His wounds heal rapidly and his complexion turns young.
Crack… crack…
The revived Shinnōcracks his neck and walks towards Amaru.
Bang…
He kicks her away.
"Damn this little brat! I have to wait for seven years for this day."
He flips the girl with her legs.
Slash…
Shinnō rips apart her clothes and removes the orb around her chest.
Haha….
He laughs hysterically as he inspects the orb.
"I have more than enough chakra to resurrect and power the ancient fortress. With this, the Land of Sky shall be sole ruler of this world. As for this girl…"
He turns towards Amaru and laughs.
"I will spare her pathetic life to let her suffer in despair and agony."
Whoosh…
He flickers away from the ruins of the Nagano village.
Five minutes later,
Swoosh…
The clone Izuna appears in front of an unconscious Izuna with Team three in tow.
"Go and help her!"
He waves to them as Hanabi rushes towards Amaru to support her.
Hmph…
Ayaka turns to him and snorts.
"Do you like watching us suffer?" She angrily harrumphs at him.
"Ayaka-chan! It's not like that. You three are shinobis now; so you should face the harsh life of a shinobi." Izuna tries to appease her.
Hmph…
"I am not buying that. I will tell Mei Nii-san everything. She is the only one who loves me now. My Onni-chan doesn't love me anymore."
Ayaka ignores Izuna's pleading gaze and walks towards Amaru to support her.
A few minutes ago,
During the very last second of the explosion, the clone Izuna used Kamui to teleport the girls and save them from the impact of the explosion.
Later, the girl witnessed the truth about Shinnōunfold before their eyes.
"Here you go!"
Izuna tosses a camera and a scroll towards Yakumo.
"Show this to the girl to convince her! Also, this is a map of the location Shinnō is heading to. My chakra has run out!"
Poof…
The clone Izuna disappears in a puff of smoke.
