Capítulo 21: Bad premonition
After pick pocketing the rest of the dead ninjas.
The caravan continued its journey.
The rest of the day was peaceful, the traders avoided couple of inns along the road.
Because of their fast movement for the two days the horses got tired to much to continue at the pace they moved so unfortunately for the traders they slowed down. Soon sunset came and the caravan stopped for the day. They quickly dismounted the horses and secured the products, before gathering around the fire.
"I have announcement to make." Kenji said gathering the attention to the others.
"We have three possible paths to move on."
Through Oshegaya mountain which is the shortest but possibly the most dangerous, because of the steep roads. We have highest chance to get ambushed there.
Or we go around the right sight of the mountain trough, Kushiro river. While its longer path it will definitely be safer. And if we follow it trough we will reach Sendai city but we may be late. And the last one is to move trough the hills on the left side of the mountain which means that is the longest way but the safest. How shall we proceed?" Kenji asked
The traders started bickering among each other before Fujita stood up.
"Enough time is of the essence we will move trough Oshegaya mountain.
Kenji sighed and nodded.
The night soon came the chilly winds move trough the forest like wolves on the hunt. The trees creaked, the leaves danced trough the air in chaotic manner. The stars shined brightly but seemed unreachable and cold. The moon shined brightly with its pure white light. And under it stood Kimimaro his long hair carried itself trough the air. He sat with his byakugan open looking around the area while cooking a fish for his midnight snack. He had bad vibes all day, but nothing seemed to be happening except the fight against those ninjas. He was exhausted standing on the edge all day.
"What is on your mind Kimimaro?" Kenji asked
" I have bad feeling about something that might happen in the near future." Kimimaro replied.
"I feel the same…something is fishy with those traders.There will be a third fight and it might be tonight even.Because the intelligence I gathered from the Miamoto and Imagawa ninjas is that that they had separate missions, which means separate clients. I don't know much about the dye trade, but it must be fierce market." Kenji said with a smile.
"True" Kimimaro replied.
"Ok go rest now,Kimimaro, I will take the rest of the night."
"Maybe later, we got company 500 meters ahead of us."Kimimaro said squinting his eyes.
"Are they chakra users? And how many?"Kenji asked with a solemn tone.
"I cannot distinguish them ,they are to far away to see clearly yet. But I can say they are only two." Kimimaro replied.
"Alright be prepared."Kenji said and went to take his sword from the tent.
After he came back he looked at Kimimaro
"Can you see them now he said."
"Yes I can see. They are not chakra users but there something fishy."
"How so?" Kenji asked narrowing his eyes.
"Their chakra pool seem to be to controlled for a non chakra user." Kimimaro replied.
Kenji touched his chin and said.
"Hmmm, they might suppress their chakra." Kenji said and continued.
"Which means they might be skilled ninjutsu users. Watch out for their hands, chakra flares, and always and I mean always keep them at close distance. If you let them take distance, they will control the fight. And you will lose."
Kimimaro nodded, and removed his upper kimono and sandals.
"C'mon we must ambush them, if we don't take them by surprise we will be under disadvantage."
