- Well, Samehada, will you be my sword? - The great sword Kirigakure asked. - My chakra appears to be to your liking.
A moving sword, especially one like that, is a very creepy sight, but the sense of acceptance that came from this perfectly reasonable, albeit peculiar, creature made me smile wide and bloodthirsty. Now, a meeting with the jinchuriki, which had previously posed no small danger even with all my trump cards, would be just another meal for Samehada.
- Good girl," I stroked the scaly side.
Taking a white ribbon from the kage bunshin, I wrapped it into a cocoon and hung it behind my back in the manner of my previous master, securing the unusual material with chakra.
But despite the acquisition of a very powerful weapon, there was a little dark note in my joy - Fuinjutsu and training require a very substantial amount of chakra, especially with last chance scrolls, and now I had another very demanding consumer.
Sighing, I turned back to the temporarily forgotten Pakura, who had managed to get into a sitting position and was now looking at me with round eyes, shifting her gaze to the sword and back again. Deciding not to pay attention, I approached the kunoichi.
- Scroll or hands? - I asked.
- А?
- There are two ways to move - on your hands and in a scroll, patiently deciphered not yet normalized girl.
I was burned with a professionally suspicious look. That's right, it was not my colleagues, who were confident in the reliability of this method of transportation, but an allied kunoichi of considerable strength, accustomed to personally controlling the environment.
- Hands," she snorted, after thinking for a few moments.
- No problem, but drink this first," he handed her a couple of pills of his own making, "it'll be a lot easier.
- I've already had handfuls of blood-forming ones," she shook her head slightly, "the new ones will only make it worse.
- I know, my liver is pretty badly affected by them, and I've already taken care of the mild poisoning," he rolled his eyes, "and anyway, who's a first-degree iryonin here? Don't compare my product to the consumer goods - these pills will only do you good!
Pakura looked me in the eyes and sighed, obediently opened her mouth, where I threw a couple of pills. While she chewed to get the effect, I pulled out a scroll from my leg pouch and activated it, tossing it onto the sand.
A kage bunshin with a full reserve appeared nearby. A small pulse of chakra and all five clones, including the shadow clones, scurried off in the direction from which the rest of Mist's pursuers should appear.
- This? - The kunoichi raised an eyebrow questioningly, still monitoring the situation around her despite her rather pitiful state.
