Takeshi sprinted away, feeling the whoosh of wind ripping at the back of his robes, it seemed that his sabotaging events had managed to get the attention of those that he wanted to avoid. Right now, he was simply outnumbered and out matched, it didn’t take someone with great eye sight to see that. Even in the dead of night he was being chased and to his surprise they were closing the gap that he was trying to create between them, open ground was the only thing he could see around him, and he knew that it didn’t suit him to be out in the open like this. It made him an easy target to everyone that was following him.
The night had taken him into its dark embrace and the mission had been completed it was considered a well-done mission, the task of sabotage had been achieved with little to no effort, the issue was that they had hired mercenaries to come and make sure that the place was protected. That was something that even Takeshi hadn’t been provided intel on. It had been a certain mess as soon as this information had been made public, he had hit the target and then found himself surrounded in that split second. It was clear that he had to get away somehow and what plan was forming in his mind was trying to see him get out of this situation.
Takeshi dodged to the left as he felt the fire pass by him, though in the open the explosion when it landed on the floor would be considered something of a lethal level, it was clear that whoever he had managed to get the attention of was now making sure that he didn’t get away. This was beyond annoying in the eyes of the Uchiha he would need to make sure that he got the opportunity to slink into darkness, to keep himself out of the way of the situation and try and find an exit as soon as one showed itself to him. Fire light up the open ground, his black robes trying to hide him into the night but now having no success in doing so. He could hear the voices of the men catching up behind him, keeping his breathing controlled and silent he knew full well that he had to maintain his focus, if he allowed it to slip it would be the end of him at that point in time.
Takeshi felt the wind rip at his arms and legs, it seemed that they had managed to pinpoint his location as he felt the pain of his robes being shredded and his skin splitting like knives where slicing at him, wind rushed passed him at that point in time as he knew that he was lucky it wasn’t worse than that, blood spilling onto the ground from the cuts that he found in his body. He was nearly at the tree lines, it would offer him the chance to mix this situation up and try and play the fight from his own footing in that side. It was clear that he had some work to be done on shaking them this team was highly skilled, and they had of course been training as a team since the beginning.
Takeshi launched himself into the woods as he saw the oncoming attacks, though not before he was spun around by a water cracking from his back, it seemed that they were trying their best to make sure he suffered before getting to the grinding matter of this. Takeshi knew full well that this situation was looking bleak to him and he still needed to make sure that he got back to leaf to give the information that he had over to someone. Takeshi only concern was the mission and he was glad right now that he only took himself out on this one and not a team.
Takeshi dodged behind another tree as the sound of water slammed into it and wood splintered in that split second, it was easy to see that everything was going wrong, but he had made it out of the open ground and into the cover of the night. Now he needed to start playing them at their own game making sure that they knew he was able to hold his own against them. He wondered how much work would need to be done before he had the chance to run the escape route that he had memories for himself unsure if he was able to get away but knowing he had to try his best in the dark of the night.
The smell of smoke and fire still stuck to his clothes as the night sky was illuminated by the burning weapon depo that had been targeted tonight, it was clear he had made his mission that far to completion but under the orders that he was given if he was caught and found there would be no saving him. Not from mercenaries that were out here just for the kill and wanted nothing more than to make hurting him into a sport game for the night. Takeshi launched himself into the roof tops as he jumped from tree to tree quiet and stealthy like his training had taught him, he looked around for any sign of those that were following him to see if they had managed to keep up.
Voices echoed through the tree tops, the forest becoming denser in that split second as he knew where he was going. The familiar surroundings assuring him that this chase was shifting he knew that he was now in the own turf that was needed. He could work with this situation and make sure that it was a positive impact for him without having any effects that could be considered to back lash against him, Takeshi was ready to take the fight to those that had sought to capture him, and he was now prepared to show them their error in the chase that they had tried to keep up with.
His hands coming together in a split second he allowed himself to start to begin the familiar pattern that had become second nature to him, he continued to move quicker and quicker as his hands begun to shift as well finally with a puff of smoke three exact replicas of Takeshi formed either sides of him at that moment in time. He nodded to each one and watched them split off as they headed in different directions trying to split the group up out here. That would make it easier for him to manage to get away and he was sure that they would more than likely fall for that trick if he played his cards right.
Takeshi allowed himself to go to the next branch, making sure that each jump he made was quick and precise, the night allowed his robes to blend in and the silent movements that he was also making things a lot easier for him, though it seemed that his plan was starting to work as he noticed that the group had broken up the main question would be how far would they get before being cornered and the truth exposed that the Uchiha was not among them, that was the critical part right now and it was clear that he would find that answer sooner or later. Though Takeshi wondered to himself how he would be able to get out of this alive.
Each clone moved in opposite directions, one even doubled back this was the plan to make sure that they spread the group’s efforts to find the Uchiha. It would be a hunt that they would soon find themselves on the back foot in, he was prepared to fight like this, he was sure that each move he made was one that could not easily be dictated and each struggle that they had only allowed the ANBU Sennin to expand the distance between himself and them to make sure that they were one step away from capturing him always.
Takeshi allowed the clones to do their work though it wasn’t pretty and sure as hell wasn’t the best that they had done, it was clear that they were getting the group to split up in the confusion it seemed that the tactic he had taken right now was working wonders for him as he made the lead over those that chased him into the trees. Takeshi launched down to the ground knowing full well that he would have to play the good old game of silent running for now to stop any noise that may give him away.
Takeshi allowed himself to land gently as he quickly sought the thick dense protection of the shrubbery that was around him, knowing full well hat it would almost be impossible to see him hiding inside of it from the branches of the trees. Slowly he allowed himself to edge inside of the forestation to make sure that he was completely covered, it seemed that he had managed to slip through the guard of those that were chasing him, it was a successful experience for the Uchiha as he laid on the cold grass waiting to see if they still were chasing him.
The clones on the other hand continued to move quickly through the trees, jutsu lashing out to score hits on them with each passing second. It was clear that they still had a lot of work to prevent themselves from being captured though right now they had to make sure that they had distracted them long enough for all the traps to be played. The clones moved swiftly from one branch to another. It seemed that they had been found though as one of the clones vanished in a huge fireball of smoke, the clone instantly going back without a second hesitation.
It seemed that the hunters had finally caught them pray or at least that is what they were leading to believe, it seemed that the ANBU Sennin had escape the captivity of those that had hunted him, as one clone was gone the rest of them still had to be found as they sprinted threw the trees without even thinking about stopping. Water and wind attempted to destroy another two clones, though it was clear that they had no idea of what had happened yet. Takeshi wasn’t about to break his silence on the matter either there was no point exposing himself when it wasn’t required.
With only two clones left it was hardly and work for the well-trained group to bring them down with ease. One of the clones made what would be considered a wrong turn in a split second, finding itself face to face with one of the men that was chasing it. Only to be obliterated by wind in that split second but also dropping the surprise that they were simply hunting clones, it caught the group off guard in that split second that they had managed to lose track of Takeshi.
Though the last clone still went down swinging as he tried his best to make sure that he avoided the pain that the other clones had gone through. It was clear that in that second, they had a lot of work to get done. It seemed that the clone was gone as water smashed it down from the tree and into the bottom of the ground as it proofed away in that split second without doing anything wrong at all. The small sound escaped its lips as he allowed himself to disappear, leaving Takeshi once again out of the hunters gaze, it seemed that they gave up. Staying silent till the morning broke Takeshi allowed himself to get up from the bushes, the morning light creeping threw the trees as he headed out and instantly made his move backwards leaf. Knowing full well that his mission had been completed and he was now able to return home once more.
