I jumped from roof to roof, trying to avoid contact with anyone I knew. As Hachi and I approached the village gate, my sister, Misa, and Yurikami were standing at the gate. I figure Shukaku fled and trying to keep me from following. "Hachi, you're going to have to leave before me. I need to transform to another disguise," I told him.
Hachimata nodded and jumped down to the front gate. I couldn't tell what Chiyoko or the others were talking to him about, but either way, they let him through. "Okay, I have to transform into someone they never saw before, so I'll be home free. Adding to that, you can't even smell my scent anymore, just cigarette smoke and ash."
I thought for a minute and remembered the show Death Note. "If I transform into Azuma, there's a chance he could've passed through there or close to the gate, but if I transform into Matt off of Death Note, they wouldn't know him or his scent."
I hid behind a building so no one could notice and I transformed. I walked to the gate, but was stopped by Chiyoko. "Excuse me sir?"
I froze in my tracks, "Yes, what is it little one?"
"Gross, you smell like smoke!" Yurikami said, covering her mouth.
"So what?! I don't tell you how to live your life!"
Misa looked at me with blind eyes. "Your chakra's like Kyuu-kun's"
'Crap' "Yeah, I'm a ninja from the thunder village. One of their most powerful," I said, hoping my facade would work.
Misa said nothing, but after a few minutes, she said, "Okay, just make sure if you find him, to get his butt back here."
"Don't worry, I'll help you out as much as I can," I said bowing.
I walked off into the woods and after much distance and no view of the gate anymore, I met with Hachimata and transformed back. "That was a close call," I said, breathing out cigarette smoke.
