After both of them left, The leader of the mist shinobies yelled "What are you waiting for, go after them". I looked at the leader and spoke "Now, now... let them leave. I don't want to kill you all. So you guys better step back as well." The leader showed an angry look as he yelled again "Finish off this guy first". And rushed to attack me.

I sighed looking at the mist ninjas. "Yard yare.... so you guys choose death". I then spread out my killing intent and released Kage level chakra. Seeing this, the leader of the mint Shinobi stopped in his tracks. I spoke again "Last chance. Leave it die". The leader gestured towards his men and they attacked me together. Seeing this, I thought 'These guys are not worthy of using FTG. Well, I'll practice my Kenjutsu' and unsheathing my sword, flickered away.

AO and Mei travelled quite a distance and looking back, they saw nobody following them. AO then said "Looks like he was not one of them". Mei nodded and suddenly stopped in her tracks. AO seeing Mei also stopped and enquired "What happened Mei Sama?" Mei spoke "Then that means he just sacrificed himself to save us right?"

AO nodded and spoke again "Anyway, thanks to that guy, we escaped safely. But the danger is not over yet. I don't think he could hold on for too long. Let's escape first". Mei clicked her tongue "Too bad he had to die. He was quite handsome too." AO just sighed hearing her comment and they continued to move.

I was fighting using Kenjutsu, but these Shinobi were so weak, I was literally just playing with them taking my time to defeat them. Most of them were just chunins who couldn't even see me properly. So I had to slow down for them to react. There were only a handful of Jonins and only three elite Jonins. Fifteen minutes have passed and nobody has even managed to touch me. I'm starting to get bored.

AO and Mei travelled some more and AO checked once again and was surprised. Mei looking at his face asked "What's the matter AO?" AO shook his head "Nothing. It's strange that nobody has followed us yet. There were some elite Jonin and Jonins in the group as well. How is a single Shinobi holding off Hundred shinobis for so long?"

Mei now understood why AO was surprised. She spoke "Yes. It's impossible for one person to hold off a hundred Shinobi consisting of Jonin and Elite Jonins. Something must have happened. Let's go back and have a look". AO narrowed his eyebrows "No Mei Sama. It's too dangerous. Let's go back to the hideout".

Mei shook her head "I'm very interested to see what happened AO. Let's just go back enough distance for your Byakugan to see what's going on". AO started contemplating, but Mei continued "Don't be a coward AO. Let's go" AO let out a sigh "As you wish Mei Sama" and they both turned back.

At the battlefield, more like a playground for me, I sighed dodging another attack and this time it was from a Jonin. 'Must be special Jonin. He's weaker than the other guy' I thought. The fight continued. Some of them who tried to go after Mei and AO instantly got incapacitated. The remaining then understood that I won't let anyone go after them and decided to finish me first. I'm using them to train my dodging skills.

AO activated his Byakugan and started heading back with Mei. Mei was also nervous, but a lot more curious of what happened to me. As they both were coming back, AO immediately stopped in his tracks with his mouth wide open and muttered "That guy Impossible....." Mei also stopped looking at AO and hearing him muttering asked surprised "Is he still alive?"

AO nodded. He started sweating watching the fight between me and the remaining of the hundred Shinobi that could move. Mei seeing AO nod, asked "How is he still alive? What's happening?" AO gulped and spoke "H-he is just playing with them". Mai eyes opened wide "You mean?" She asked "Yes. That guy is just playing with the mist ninjas. His chakra level I'm seeing is at Kage level".

Another ten minutes passed and many ninjas dropped out from the fight either exhausted or incapacitated. Only the Jonins and elite Jonins were left in good condition. I looked at the leader and said once again "Why don't you guys go back and take the injured with you. There's no use in continuing the fight. You can't even scratch me".

The leader gritted his teeth and asked "Who are you?" I answered "I'm just a travelling merchant. So don't mind me and leave." The leader and the Jonins then started doing some handsigns for a combination Jutsu. I sighed "I was going to spare you because you helped me practice, but looks like you really want to die."

The ninjas didn't reply and continued to perform a combination jutsu. I sighed again and disappeared. Then for a few seconds, all anyone could see were white flashes and many heads rolled on the ground. I had marked most of them with the Hiraishin marking while playing with them. This it was too easy to dispose of them".

AO who was watching the scene with his Byakugan fell on his back sweating profusely. He was scared. Scared beyond words. Mei seeing him asked "What happened AO?" He turned to her like a robot and said "Mei Sama, we need to get out of here. That guy is a monster. He slaughtered them in just seconds. Even with this Byakugan, I couldn't see him move."

Mei was shocked hearing him, but she also had other plans. As I let them go, she knew that I didn't mean to hurt them. Also seeing me kill the mist Ninjas, she thought that I'm Yagura's enemy. So she was thinking of using me to fight against Yagura. Someone with such strength will surely be useful in the Resistance and as the saying goes, "The enemy of your enemy is your friend".
