Chapter 8: This, That, BOOM
"So, refuge hmm?" Hao asks Borro.
Borro nods in reply to the man as he shows them around the village.
"Mind me asking what happened to your home village?" Hao continues to ask more questions whilst looking around at his home village.
"It became under attack by one of the great villages.. We are the only surviving clan" Borro says remembering back to how Hugi reacted to the news of his traitorous ways.
"Ahh yes, that doesn't surprise me at all.. All Kage are hungry for power and war.. All of them..." Hao says with a serious tone, one as if he hated all Kage, including his own. This made Borro slightly suspicious to Hao.
Hao laughed loudly, realizing how he was coming off "But of course, this villages Kage is the best! Oh yes!"
The clan reach the doors to the Kages house and Hao has a grin on his face "Well guys it's been fun. I hope we meet again, I really do, and believe me when I say the Kage here is praised.. For his actions in war of course." Hao dashes off quickly.
"Oh fuck.." Hugi mumbles, remembering the symbol on the back of his coat.
The Kages building blew up in front of their eyes and village ninja rushed to the scene finding the Himitsu unwelcome into the village
"Protect the Kage!" The ninja rushed towards the Himitsu, accusing them of the explosion.
"Everyone, run now! Fight to wound, do not kill any of these ninja!" Borro says leading the way out of the village, being attacked from all angles.
The Himitsu became surrounded by ninja, with no way out. They was trapped in the village.
24 hours passed and the Himitsu was in a jail cell. The Kage comes down to the prison cell to see them.
"So these lot are the attackers?" The Kage asks the guard
"Yes, sir. They was the unfamiliar clan that attacked your office whilst you was out checking the academies work." The guard explains to the Kage.
He looks at the Himitsu sternly for a few seconds "They was not behind this attack.."
Hugi looked at him in shock. Did he really just hear him correctly? But there was so much evidence against them. How could he be so sure?
"They wouldn't attack in so many numbers for an explosion.. No.. these lot was set up by Prise without a doubt"
Prise? Who was Prise? Hugi thought to himself.
"You mean Hao, sir?! I thought he was dead?!" the guard said in a shocked tone of voice.
The Kage laughed and shook his head "That guy doesn't just roll over and die, no, he got away from the hidden hill ANBU and joined a different organisation"
"So are we free to go? Better yet we'd love to talk to you under different circumstances, lord Kage" Borro said calmly
The Kage nodded and asked them to follow him to his new office to which Hugi and Borro did.
The Kage laughed "YOU want refuge HERE?!" he continued to laugh
Borro had a face of anger to which Hugi noticed. Hugi decided to speak before Borro blew his lid. "Why is this so funny to you?"
"It's funny because this village now hates you. You have no trust within the people of this village, so why should I trust you? That would just look bad on me. No. You will be escorted out of the village immediately." The Kage stated.
"Very well." Borro said with a bitter tone in his voice as he walked out of the Kages office to meet up with the Himitsu waiting outside
"Thanks for your time, sir" Hugi bowed to the Kage and followed after Borro.
"So that's that?!" Kurai said pissed off that the Kage turned them down over a problem that wasn't theirs.
"We will find a new home soon. Be patient Kurai." Borro said nudging him gently.
The Himitsu was escorted out of the village as promised and sent on their way, once again being turned down.
Hugi felt hopeless.. Why did Hao use them as cover like that if he was known by the village? Was it because of what he said about Kage? Did he want us to be thrown out on purpose? Who knows.. It didn't matter now. They needed to find a place to set up camp for the night as the sun was setting before them.
Camp got started on by the clansmen in a near by forest, out of sight from the road to avoid conflict.
"Chiyo can I talk to you?" Kurai asked, sitting next to her.
"Sure Doofus, whats up?" Chiyo said joking with her comrade.
"I want you to train me.. Please." Kurai asked with a sound of seriousness for once.
"Train you?" Chiyo said confused "But why?"
"Because you're the strongest person in this clan by far.. It's obvious and I'm the weak one.. The dumb ass everyone has to save" Kurai explains.
"I want to get strong and be the hero of the clan, like you are. I want to be on your level, so please. Will you?" He continued to explain now sounding on the verge of begging.
Chiyo stood up and smiled "Come on then dumb ass, lets get started." Chiyo said whilst heading away from camp a little, to be sure they would not get in the way.
Kurai followed after her, pumped for the training he was about to take on.
