บท 39: Chapter 39
*****
Kenshin calmly entered the flower shop, and talked with the saleswoman for about five minutes, hardly convincing her to sell him ten blue sage seeds. Having spent 5,000 re on them, he was pleased with his acquisition, ordered his sons to leave, deciding to get out of this village as soon as possible.
As soon as they reached the end of the street, and the edge of the village was visible 200 meters away, Kenshin heard a scream behind him.
"Hey you, stop!"
Ichiro turned around first, and then everyone else. Kenshin saw an unfamiliar Shinobi Konoha twenty meters away, and an old acquaintance Kaito fifty meters away. He instantly looked at this Shinobi, and activated the "status"Name: Kimura Iori
Age: 30 years
Talent Level: 14
Chakra Quality: 2
Number of chakras: 4100
Chakra control: 51%
- Ichiro, be on the alert. Before us is genin Konoha. If something goes wrong, this battle is yours. Don't be nervous, its characteristics are about the same as yours! –
Kenshin mentally informed.
"Mr. Shinobi, is something wrong?"
Kenshin asked politely.
"All of you are detained until the reasons are clarified, follow me,"
Iori said unceremoniously.
"Detained? On what basis? What have we violated?"
asked Kenshin.
"You have no right to ask questions. Either come with me voluntarily, or I will be forced to use force!"
Iori minted every word.
"Sir, maybe you came because my old friend Kaito said some stupid things about me. In fact, we had a quarrel with him once, and apparently he decided to deal with me with your hands."
Kenshin said with a smile, not wanting to get involved in the conflict.
Iori turned his gaze to Kaito, who came up and gasped, and he instantly turned pale and replied: - Iori-san, this is not true! Yes, we had a fight, but only because he stole my fiancee Aya! You know, we've been looking for her all over the neighborhood for a week, but we haven't found her! Surely this scoundrel did something bad to her, and…
Upon hearing his mother's name, and the way Kaito called her his "fiancee", Ichiro and the Fourth instantly stared at him with looks full of murderous intent.
"I wanted to know the grounds for detention? Well, you are all accused of kidnapping a resident of this village, and are obliged to proceed to prison until the circumstances are clarified!"
Iori said decisively.
"Sir, this is nonsense! Aya is alive and well, she decided to move to the city of Shukuba, away from this crazy Kaito, who tried to rape her!"
Kenshin said, still not wanting to start a conflict.
"That's enough!"
said Iori sharply, and threw a shuriken at Kenshin's throat, wanting to deal with this group as soon as possible.
The third and Fourth noticed the flying shuriken, and wanted to repel it, but they did not have time, and at the last moment Ichiro beat it off with his kunai, and then instantly folded the hand seals, and shouted:
"Cato: Gokakyu no Jutsu!"
Releasing an almost meter-long fireball that rushed towards Iori and Kaito.
"Switon: Swijinheki!"
Iori shouted, releasing a stream of water from his mouth, which grew to a small wall, into which a fireball crashed at full speed, and hissed, evaporating the water.
While the whole area was covered with a huge amount of steam, Kenshin quickly ordered – "Ichiro, take care of Genin. If possible, do not show sharingan. The third and Fourth, stay close to me!"
As soon as the fireball crashed into the wall of water, Kaito instantly jumped aside, and got out of the middle of the street, pressing into the wall of the house. Half a minute later, the steam dissipated, but Iori was not there, but three shurikens flew from the roof of a neighboring building to Ichiro.
Iori was pretty surprised that there were Shinobi among this group, and planned to have a good "chat" with Kaito when the battle was over. He would have preferred not to get involved in a fight with Shinobi, but there was no way back, so he could only fight.
Ichiro easily recaptured all three kunai, and threw two of his own, simultaneously rushing towards the enemy, wanting to engage him in close combat. Iori in a few movements repelled the shurikens thrown at him, and got involved in a melee with Ichiro.
While Ichiro was fighting upstairs, Kenshin ran towards Kaito, who, distraught, tried to escape, but after a few seconds of flight, one shuriken pierced his left calf and right thigh, and falling to the ground, Kaito screamed wildly.
"Ahhh! Please don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
he shouted, turning over on his back after an unsuccessful attempt to get up.
Kenshin accelerated without talking, and took out a kunai. Iori, seeing that the grandson of the village elder was about to be killed, was distracted from the battle, and threw one shuriken at Kenshin, paying for it with a deep cut on his chest, which Ichiro inflicted on him.
The third, realizing that he did not have enough skills to block the flying shuriken, shielded his father with his body, but the shuriken crashed into an invisible barrier and fell to the ground.
Kenshin didn't even stop, and with all his might he thrust the kunai into the throat of Kaito, who somehow got up and tried to escape. He looked at Kenshin and tried to say something, but he couldn't. His larynx was punctured, and only an unintelligible hiss escaped from his throat.
Meanwhile, the battle on the roof was coming to an end. Thanks to his spatial ability, Ichiro wounded the enemy several times, and after another exchange of blows, kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying into the window of a neighboring house, and instantly folded his hand seals, shouting:
"Cato: Gokakyu no Jutsu!"
Releasing a half-meter fireball, which followed the enemy into the window of the second floor.
Iori was not at a loss, and despite the pain in his chest and back, half-lying down, he managed to fold the hand seals, and release a small water barrier on the remnants of the chakra.
"Suiton: Sujinheki!"
A shout was heard from the second floor, and the two technicians met.
Ten seconds later, Iori jumped out of the next window, and fell to the ground, receiving severe burns from filling the small room with a huge amount of hot steam, which arose from the mutual destruction of Cato and Suiton's techniques.
His entire face and neck were burned, and after receiving a painful shock, he was unable to fight, so the two thrown by Ichiro kunai hit exactly on target. The first kunai pierced Iori's spine, and the second kunai pierced his head to the hilt.
"Great job, Ichiro. The third and Fourth, take your things, we need to leave soon!" commanded Kenshin, and all four quickly left the village, running about eight kilometers to the forest.
