章 215: Zabuza haunting
When Hideki realized that he and his people were just the bait, he understood that all this was caused because of the lack of trust and this started from him trying to belittle Yami when they first met because of his age and experience.
He couldn't go against the orders of the Hokage so after a little back and forth, Hideki agreed to go to the Terumi clan estate. Daichi and Daiki also wanted to accompany him but Hideki denied it saying that he will go alone.
________________________________
TERUMI ESTATE
The guards were standing by the gate discussing about things going on and what the future holds when they saw the outline of a man carrying some bags.
"Who do you think it is?" guard 1 asked.
"No one was scheduled to come today. Stay on alert. Captain has already told us that those people will try to infiltrate our clan." guard 2 said.
As the fog lessened a bit, guard 2 recognized the man as Kenji Hara.
"Kenji what are you here?" guard 2 asked.
"I wanted to meet the Terumi clan members which came from the land of forests." Hideki said.
As soon as the guards heard it, they pointed their weapons at Hideki and asked "How does a civilian know about this?"
Hideki tried to act scared and lifted both his arms up and said "My nephew came on the same ship so I brought fruits for the Terumi clan members as gratitude."
The guards looked at each other for a second and lowered their weapons. Guard 2 looked at guard 1 and said "I will take him to the captain to verify his story, and you stay here."
Guard 1 nodded and then continued to patrol the gate alone while guard 2 walked with Hideki to a building just beside the main Terumi building. After a few minutes, guard 1 saw someone else enter coming toward him as well but the silhouette was too light to understand who it was. As the guard took a few steps ahead, he felt a chop on his shoulder which made him fall unconscious.
A figure clad in black stood behind the unconscious guard. He then waved his hand toward the silhouette who then came running at him. He was also clad in black. As they looked around and saw no one there, they removed the cloth covering their face.
These two people were none other than Daiki and Daichi. "Daichi we just missed sensei. We should have not wasted time on this and rushed here directly.
"No that would have been suicide the bloodline clans are no joke and the Terumi clan is their leading clan. You want to go against someone who is amassing strength to fight the Mizukage faction?" Daichi asked.
"Tsk... it's all because of that kid. I don't know what game he is playing but that kid has lost his mind." Daiki said in an annoyed tone.
"Yes, I agree with you on that one Daiki. A few minutes after Yami sensei left, Yami told us that the Terumi clan knows the true identity of Kenji Hara. We tried to come here as fast as we could but sensei is already gone in. The inside of the estate is covered in fog and only a guard or Terumi member can lead us properly or else we will just be going in circles."
"I guess we shouldn't have knocked out this guard." Daiki said as he looked at the fallen guard.
"No, he could have led us the wrong way thinking that we are from the Mizukage faction. Even guards here are very loyal. And we don't know for sure whether what Yami said is true or not. This could all be a lie and in the end, it might be us who ended up exposing sensei's real identity." Daichi said. He and Daiki had no option but to look for other ways to enter the clan estate and warn their sensei.
Inside the estate guard 2 guided Hideki through the thick mist and after 15 minutes, the fog became too thin to cause any kind of hindrance to one's vision. Hideki saw one main big mansion and 3 smaller ones beside it.
As they reached the gate of one of those buildings, guard 2 looked at the 2 kids guarding the building and said "Both of you keep an eye on this man here while I enquire about him. Don't let him go anywhere until I ...."
"That won't be necessary." a childish voice came from behind them. They all looked back and saw a boy aged nearly 16-17. He had blue hair, a mist headband on his chest, and a taped sword on his back. He also wore something to cover his ear and he had rectangle-shaped specs on.
"Chojuro" guard 2 said as he saw the kid standing in front of him.

Mizukage building
Moji was standing in front of the purple-eyed bald man who he had met last night.
"As expected you work really fast." Moji said with a smile.
"The news isn't too good though." the man said.
"Are you telling me he didn't tell us about his leader?" Moji frowned. He didn't think the resources he spent to get a hidden leaf spy to leak him information would back out at such a crucial time.
"No...he gave us the name of their leader as well as his students last night. We were going to make a move today morning but we ran into a problem. As soon as my men tried to approach the house they were killed. 3 of them all in one move and the killer used mist techniques."
"Could be one of them? Other villages also have a few mist techniques." Moji stated.
"Maybe. To our surprise, the people in the house didn't react to it at all as if they didn't know that they were just saved. And from the latest information my people got, the man called Kenji has a nephew named Yuta who came to our village a few days ago."
