Land of river…

Dark cave...

After giving the signal to his squad members Kirito actived his dojutsu and used skip to vanish from the spot and appeared inside the cave without making anyone alert of his arrival.

'All five of his hearts are beating??? ' Kirito thought while looking at a man who is covered with black cloth from top to button and standing in front of an unconscious girl 'That must be Lady Shizuka. '

As Kirito is waiting for the man with multiple hearts to get away from Shizuka he saw another man with a battle scar on his face approaching the multiple hearts man with a serious face and asking from behind "Mr. Kakuzu what is your next order for us? "

Kakuzu who is done preparing turned around with cold light in his eyes and said with a serious tone "The first team should have already reached the Grass with Kazikage's daughter.  "

"Mr. Kakuzu what are you planning?  " a middle-aged man with a long sword asked while cleaning his sword.

"We will stay in the Kusakagure and from their ask for ransom for our captive. " Kakuzu said with and walked toward the entrance of the cave.

"Then what are we doing in this place wasn't it better to go directly there from Fire county? " A muscular man asked with confusion on his face.

"No… " by that time Kakuzu already walked to the entrance of the cave.

'Now is my chance. ' Kirito's eyes light up looking at Kakuzu's back as he jumped down from the ceiling of the cave and landed behind Shizuka without making any sound and the moment he landed on the ground is holding Shizuka's little body in his arms with a serious face.

"Where did you come from? " the bald swordsman who was keeping an eye on Shizuka from time to time asked with a furious face when he saw someone suddenly arriving from nowhere and taking their captive.

"Skip" without wasting time Kirito used his short-ranged no seal teleportation jutsu to escape from them.

"Everyone get out of the cave quickly. " Kakuzu who is out of the cave shouted looking at everyone.

"Paper bomb. " The scarred man shouted with horror on his face looking at the cave and running towards the cave entrance which is now covered with uncountable paper bombs which have already started glowing indicating that it is going to blow up soon as the guy with Fire Lords' daughter escaped from them.

" "Boom" "

Outside the cave...

After escaping with Shizuka from inside the cave Kirito appeared behind his anbu team who are still looking at the direction of the serious serious face and used his chakra to trigger all the paper bombs that he had planted before rescuing Shizuka.

Within a few seconds, an ear-piercing sound of an explosion came in his ear as he saw Honoka summoning her Giant Eagle and started walking to them.

"So she is the one we are here to rescue. " Hearing the sound of footsteps everyone turned toward him as Hana asked looking at the girl in Kirito's arms.

"She looks decent. " Izumi commented looking at the girl without turning off her dojutsu.

"Ok hand her over to... " Honoka wanted to say 'me' hug suddenly the girl in Kirito's hands started moving.

"She is regaining her consciousness. " Kirito said looking at the girl in his hand.

"Where am I? " After waking up Shizuka looked at the unknown place and people with masks then asked with confusion.

"Dragon take her with you and explain everything. " Kirito said while handing over Shizuka with a serious look in his eyes thinking 'If we waste time and don't stop them there is a strong possibility that they have a backup plan and might make the other hostages life in danger. '

"Got it. " Honoka flew toward the direction of fire country imminently after receiving his command.

"Let's go we must stop them. " Kirito said and started running toward Kakuzu's group.

In front of the destroyed cave…

After escaping from the sudden enemy attack only 4 out of 5 men escaped from the explosion and their faces are now red from anger.

"Who the hell was that just now? " Scarface shouted angrily looking at the cave.

"I think that person was an Anbu from Konoha. " Muscleman said and looked at Kakuzu for his decision.

"As I expected Satomaru was too weak to continue with us. " The swordsman said with a cold face looking at the cave then turned toward Kakuzu to ask "What do you think happened back then Mr. Kakuzu? "

"Yes, it was an Anbu from Konoha and from my perspective they had come here in order to rescue the fire lord's daughter. " Kakuzu said as his eyes became cold with anger and continued "But I will not let him get away with her because she is my money tree. "

"So what do we do? " Scarface asked impatiently.

"We are going to catch them. " Kakuzu and took off the cloth from his body and 4 masks came into view on his back.

"He might have already started running towards Fire country for all we know. " Swordman

"That doesn't matter because I will never let anyone escape with my target. " Kakuzu said with a cold tone as 4 masks went flying from his back and 4 black devils came out and started hovering above their head.

......…

Kirito and his team who are running toward the cave got surprised by the sudden appearance of the devils.

"What are those things? " Izumi asked with a serious face.

"I feel danger from those black things in the air. " Hana said with a serious face as her dogs are growling at the sky.

"Those are his hearts. " Kirito sad with surprised as he saw the process with his dojutsu clearly.

"He noticed us. " Izumi shouted as she saw the 4 devils and Kakuzu looking at their direction.

"No, he found the Eagle. " Kirito said and jumped up on the air while leaving the words "I will take care of him, you guys try to handle others on his team. "

••••••••••••••••••

Looking at the eagle and using chakra to enhance his vision Kakuzu soon found Honoka and Shizuka then said "That way. "

After finding his target he started running toward the direction of the eagle to catch up when he heard a shout from the direction he is going "No you don't. "

"It's you…"
