"Hiroko are you here....?" the same young man from the council came looking for Hiroko...
"You....why are you here...Are you such a man that you won't let go of a blind woman" asked Hiroko with disgust apparent in her eyes...
The man looked at Hiroko and then at Sujin with complicated expression and sighed
"I know you hate me now and think of me as the killer of your late husband...Its also true that I have incomparable hate and disgust for that man and your son but the reason for all this is I have always liked you Hiroko and no matter what even if you rejected me I took it as a man and didn't disturb you again but I don't want to see you dead...The council has issued a death penalty for you which will be effective as soon as you step out of the clan compound...Here is 80000 ryo leave everything and run away from the village now" said the man and vanished from the spot...
Hiroko was perplexed from the information she decided to take any chance to save her son so she took the money and muttered
"Thank you Hiashi" she bowed towards the exit the hate was replaced with respect and gratitude
Hiroko left the clan compound with only Sujin and the money an Assassin from the Hyuga and two jonin level root shinobi followed her...
Hiroko had extraordinary sensory abilities that is without her byakugan she would be qualified as a great sensory ninja and coupled with her Byakugan she was in a league of her own...She was one of the few elite jonin level shinobi in Hyuga Clan.Which is why she was highly valued by her clan....Valuble enough so that even after marrying a no name Special jonin she wasn't bothered by the clan about it..Even though everybody hated the man nobody showed dissatisfaction in front of her..Even after her Byakugan wasn't there she had no problems fighting a of jonin...
Running with the boy in her hands she ran out of the village fully knowing about the three jonins following her...
Sensing how one person wasn't interacting with the group of two she concluded that they were two groups and her leaving the clan wasn't announced yet so there were only two forces capable of such news in the entirety of Konoha..First is the Hokage's Anbu but the fourth Hokage was said to be a softie so the Anbu could be ruled out...
Another is a hellhole called root led by Shimura Danzo and Hiroko was sure the two man jonin team was sent by the Root since a scheming man like Danzo could never be more sure so he sent two jonins to hunt a blind Hyuga...
"Hiroko created a clone of himslef and Sujin and ran in an opposite direction knowing full well that luck was an extreme factor in what was about to come...While she was confident in taking down a jonin..She wasn't sure of taking on two...
The Root ninjas divided into two one following the clone while one ran on the same path as Real Hiroko..
Seeing that the assassin and the Root followed her clone Hiroko turned to face the last root member...
Slowly she put Sujin down and chakra started to cover her fist...She took a battle stance and suddenly attacked the root jonin without giving him any chance of dodging or blocking the attack
"Hyuga style : Gentle fist " said Hiroko as she attacked the Root jonin at a chakra point on shoulder and forearm making him incapable of using a ninjutsu for a short period....
The root Shinobi winced in pain and anger but maintaing his rationality he backed off...
He took out his sword and attacked Hiroko using
Root Kenjutsu....Hiroko blocked the attacks using gentle fist...she trying to find a gap to exploit and hit the chakra pathway but the root shinobi didn't let her....After a few exchanges they again backed off and then clashed again with all thier might but this ended in a stalemate but the root shinobi body flickered and appeared in front of Sujin leaving Hiroko dumbfounded....He picked up Sujin by his clothes and placed his sword on Sujin's neck and crackled in mad glee.....
But before he could celebrate with a poof of smoke the Sujin turned into Hiroko who attacked the chakra system of the Root Shinobi and completely disabled his chakara pathway and finally took out a Kunai and forced it through his throat...
A clone of Hiroko suddenly appeared with Sujin in her hands....While she had dealt with a jonin easily she had expended 3/5ths of her chakra making three shadow clones wasn't an easy feat not even for a special jonin and the threat wasn't over yet there were still two jonin left...She prayed that the clone could delay them for a while and immediately picked up Sujin and vanished from the spot....
Meanwhile the clone was killed by both Anbu and root member together...The assassin recognised the root shinobi but didn't say much since root was a special organisation of Konoha and if he had help in dealing with his job it was all good...Since who doesn't like an easy job...
While this was going on with the Hyuga assassin the root ninja was thinking of how to dispose of the Hyuga assassin so that no one knows of root's involvement in the death of Hiroko unknown to both of them they were both pulled in a Genjustsu so that once they attack Hiroko she will seem dead to them regardless of the outcome of the attack...
After killing the clone both rushed back only to find the dead root member this strengthened the idea to work until Hiroko is killed in the minds of both...
"Let's go she can't go to far while carrying a kid " said the root member and the Hyuga assassin followed after...
After 10 hours of pursuit they finally caught up with Hiroko who was resting to catch a breather along with Sujin...
They stealthily positioned themselves on the opposite sides of each other in an attack position and took out Kunai ready to cut the throat of Hiroko...
"At a moment the two jumped from both side impaling Hiroko's throat with Kunai's.....Hiroko who was watching her clone getting killed from the side was taking a breather to restore a chakra and was thinking of ways to deal with them when suddenly the root shinobi killed the Hyuga Assassin....
Hiroko seeing this was full of joy now she had chance to live she hastily moved and attacked the chakra points of the Root ninja disabling his chakra pathway.....Hiroko finally relaxed.....the tension of pursuit of the last day vanished and she was filled with relief she went to finish of the root ninja when suddenly a sword pierced her back....
"Hah...I was right you were a sensor ninja weren't you bitch if killing with a clone wasn't in the standard tactics of the Root i would be dead by now" said the Root ninja and pulled out the sword leaving the body of lifeless Hiroko on the ground.
"Now for you" the Root shinobi pierced the heart of Sujin...
He was about to take care of the bodies when he caravan of a merchant it had few chunins and a jonin for protection not wanting to take the risk the Root ninja vanished from the spot leaving the body of Hiroko Sujin and the Hyuga Assassin....
