Everyone in the next moment instantly moved out. Shikuro opened a portal, and in the next second, they were in the woods. The night was gloomy with a little bit of clouds in the sky which shadowed the bright full moon at times.
At this time of the night, it was creepy and one could hear the sounds of insects and occasional small cries of animals and night birds.
"Brr... It's cold out here," Corazon said.
"What did you expect in the solid snow?" Arya said. She and John were more accustomed to the cold than others were. They had been seeing cold and harsh winters for more than half of their life so it was just another Tuesday for them.
"Spread out. We already got the message of the general direction of where they are running off to," Kisuke said as he monitored the device on his hand. They made themselves into three different teams with Aoto, Corazon, and Kisuke on one team.
Unohana, Shikuro, and Arya on the other team, while Tessai, John, and Edward in one. Aoto didn't come empty-handed. He had brought the Cloak of Levitation. Yes, in the past month from the 'museum' section of the library, the Cloak of Levitation actually came and chose him.
Honestly speaking, Aoto was a bit surprised by this. The Cloak belongs to Strange and the Cloak's choice had always been top-notch. Aoto actually thought that maybe someday the cloak would belong to Naruto since he was the guy with the highest talent among them, but even after Naruto showed up, the Cloak came to him.
He was elated due to this, and now that he was on an expedition, he needed to show off a bit. The Cloak was just the one which Strange used. It had sentience of its own and helped Aoto at times. They went towards the direction Kisuke had spotted and within minutes, they heard some rustles.
Within no time, Corazon used a subtle magic that made them transparent and soon got to see what was going on. It was Hiashi against the 5 Kumogakure ninjas with the head ninja holding unconscious Hinata in his hand.
Hiashi was fighting off the ninjas with all his might and he looked very angry. The Kumogakure ninjas didn't expect that Hiashi would be this powerful and he was overwhelming them steadily.
"Hiashi... I didn't expect that you would follow us here. Don't you care about the safety of your daughter?" The head ninja shouted through his gritted teeth. He knew that if it went on, they would be in danger.
"You scumbags of Kumogakure... Konoha has committed to inviting you foxes in. Do you think I will allow you to hurt my daughter?" Hiashi said as he combated the other 4 ninjas in hand to hand, while Hiashi was able to deliver palm strikes on their bodies.
"If you don't stop, I will kill your daughter," the head ninja threatened.
"Then you will definitely die," Hiashi said.
"The Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms."
A revolving form of chakra surrounded Hiashi and the four people who were attacking him were blown away several meters before each of them lost consciousness. The head ninja now had an ugly look on his face as he held the kunai on the neck the small child.
"Don't come near. One step further and she is dead. If you let me leave I will promise that I will leave your daughter in the woods. As long as you let me leave, or else even if I die I will kill your daughter before I do so." The head ninja threatened.
Hiashi stopped in his tracks. He knew that if he wanted to stop this guy he would need to be decisive and make him believe he had the chance.
"Leave my daughter exactly 1 kilometer to the east from here. My byakugan can go far beyond mere kilometers and I will find you no matter what and then even if my daughter's life is on the line, I will still kill you." Hiashi said in a very deep and somber tone.
"You better not lie to me and if I see a single misstep, I will kill her." the head ninja said.
"My family is important to me and I wouldn't gamble on that." Hiashi said. The head ninja looked around for a bit and started running towards the east as fast as his legs could carry. He was hopping from one branch to another as he ran away.
But Hiashi was clever fox. Of course, he wouldn't let this guy just run away. He closely followed them and did so in the most stealthy way possible. He took a side route and always kept an eye on the man with his byakugan.
He was going to ambush him from the front side. Hiashi was a very capable ninja and was faster. This was enough to go at the front and attack him there. And Hiashi's tactic worked. Soon he was in front of the man and hid himself.
He waited for the head ninja to arrive.
"Hmph! Once I leave far I will inject the poison on her which would need antidote immediately. I have lost all my comrades and I am sure that Raikage-sama will be furious." The head ninja was having all these thoughts when out of nowhere a loud sound came.
It was as if wind was breaking by some massive force and before he knew he felt a huge pain on his lower abdomen. He felt like his body was torn apart and before he fell and lost consciousness he saw himself passing through a circular bright orange revolving door which was glowing like sparks.
Before he could understand the head ninja passed out. Hinata who was on his shoulder had already slid off.
"Come out, I know you are here." Hiashi shouted as he held his dear daughter in his arms. He was able to catch her before she hit the ground and was able to save her.
