Chapter 46 - Escaping Plan (2/2)

I didn't lower my guard and just then I saw what's ahead of us.

It was a large and deep abyss. It looked a bit similar to the one Naruto fell down to summon Gamabunta (the toad of Jiraiya and Minato) for the first time, but a different one.

I instantly realized Nawaki was planning to suicide by jumping off to the abyss.

(A/N: he couldn't suicide using Kunai as he didn't have one. Genji robbed everything when he got captured.)

'Ah fuċk not again. Those trios escape but I can not let you!!'

I tried my best to stop Nawaki. But I was late just like last time. Although I managed to grab his clothes, Nawaki simply took off and jumped while sticking his tongue out.

I looked down the abyss. It was so deep that I couldn't see the bottom.

I don't know if Nawaki can survive that as Senju vitality and toughness are the same levels as Uzumaki's. But I was sure he will die due to blood loss or starvation even if he survived the fall.

And there was no way I would go down to capture him. I don't how deep this shit is, and was afraid to fall by mistake and die. I also have to worry about Konoha reinforcements coming.

'I have never seen such a happy person when they suicide before in my entire two lives.

Now that I indirectly or directly killed Dan and Nawaki, Konoha won't forgive me. Especially Tsunade, I don't want to imagine what would that butcher do when I get captured.'

I went back to see how Gari was doing. As I expected, Gari couldn't find any of the trios.

'I didn't know those trios also had plot armors'

”Shall we bring Kimiko to sense where those trios are?” Gari suggested.

”Forget it, she is out of chakra and we don't have time now, Gari.

Remember, we are still in deep inside Konoha. It will take us at least 3 to 4 days to reach the border. We already have Konoha pursuers coming for us, that's why we can afford to waste any more time.

Also I sure Konoha already sent a message to contact the patrols in the vicinity of the border.” I said.

”Well, we can ambush the Konoha pursuers and pretend to be them to pass the patrols,” Gari suggested.

”Dude, we took last male Senju, Uchiha's eye, Hyuga alive and cut off their Genius' arm before.

And here is the question. Do you think that Konoha and those top clans will only send few weaklings to capture us??

Heck, I won't be surprised if their Hokage and jounin commander chase us.” I told Gari what kind of shit we are into.

Gari finally understood where we are and showed his worrying face.

”Then what should we do, Genji? If the likes of Kage level shinobi chase us, we will get captured before even reaching the border.

Also, we move in a group, so we will be easily spotted.” Gari asked me.

I looked at Gari for a few seconds before answering him.

”As you said, we won't even reach the border before Konoha pursuers track us down.

That's why we need to misdirect them! They all think that we would cross the Iwa-Konoha border but we won't actually.

I have decided to go through Amegakure (Land of Rain) instead. There is a war happening in the middle and border security is in turmoil.” I told Gari of my plan.

”But wouldn't Konoha pursuers follow our trails? I heard they use ninken (ninja dog) or bugs to track down criminals.” Gari questioned my plan.

”And that's why we need to use someone as bait to misdirect those ninkens or bugs too.

Konoha doesn't know anything about us, except Tonja (the spy). I am pretty sure they will trail us by following Tonja's scent.

That's why I am planning to deceive Tonja to go to Iwa border alone with Dan and Konoha kids' blood on him while the rest of us sneak through the land of Rain to Iwa!!

Also since reinforcements sent by Onoki are coming to the border, I am sure this will also convince Konoha to believe that we would head to the Iwa-Konoha border.”

Gari closed his eye for a few minutes to think.

”Isn't saving Tonja our mission? We will abandon the mission. Won't we break Shinobi law?” Gari asked with seriousness.

”Hey, I value my life than law. Also, remember that our priority mission is to protect Kitscuhi and Kimiko.

If you want to blame for Tonja, then blame on that Old man Tsuchikage. He couldn't even differentiate between S-rank and B-rank missions.

I am sure he will forgive us since we protected Kitsuchi, killed Dan, and took alive Hyuga and Sharingan.

So what's your choice, Gari? Do you against it or not?” I questioned Gari.

Gari just sighed and agreed to my plan. He didn't like the idea of deceiving fellow Iwa shinobi, but he knew the sacrifice was needed for the safety of the rest of the squad.

(Somewhere in the abyss)

Bloody Nawaki was lying down. Although he survived the fall, the pain was too much to handle and he lost his consciousness, but not dead yet.

Suddenly an unknown figure slowly rose up from the ground.

”Hehehe, I didn't expect that Senju would be lying around here. Madara still hasn't found a puppet for his eye among Uzumaki, and I guess meeting you here is part of fate. I wonder if he takes liking to you or not. hehe”

With this, Zetsu took Nawaki with him and disappeared.
