Chapter 45 : The Shinobi Way (Rewrite)

The moment Kirito entered the forest of death with his team, he started making distance between himself and Orochimaru.

He could not care less what happened to Sasuke but considering that Naruto is on the same team. Kirito make sure to send a clone to trail them.

If something happens then the clone will bring Naruto out of there. 

His priority was to safeguard his friends and brother.

He already alerted Haku with special signs to avoid the scary-looking Kunoichi. Haku too went to a different location than Orochimaru.

Kirito is not particularly worried about Haku because she already has his seal on her. 

Shikamaru and Ino as usual were following Kirito's lead. Kirito took them directly to the edge of the forest.

"I sense a team a little far to our north, I am sure that there are no Konoha teams. We better see who there are and get a scroll." Kirito said after getting far away from Orochimaru.

Shikamaru and Ino simply nodded and followed Kirito's lead.

Shikamaru is a little more motivated considering he got a good beating from her mother to participate in the chunin exam.

Of course, Kirito has a hand in this.

Ino though was still a fangirl. Her fangirl tendencies were getting worse now. Kirito secretly believes that she is a yandere.

"Hope Not, Finger Cross," thought Kirito.

Soon team 10 found the team that they were looking for. Just like Kirito sense, it was not a Konoha team.

They were the sound team which Orochimaru sent.

Kirito though, to this date. Could not figure out why they were in the Chunin Exams in the first place.

"They are pointless, why would Orochimaru send them if all the work is done by him anyways."

If there is a person who might be placed in the chunin exam by Orochimaru. Then it will be Kabuto.

Kirito already had plans for Kabuto and thus he is on the lookout for Kabuto.

He is in Haku's team. This was also another thing that Kirito was so cautious about. Haku's safety was more important to Kirito than his plan which he had for Kabuto.

Team 10 soon formed a plan to take down the sound team. Kirito wanted to remove all the trouble early on.

Kirito was never a fan of head-to-head confrontation and thus he devises a good plan to take down the sound team.

It was not like he did not like fighting, he loved fighting and getting stronger but he despised, the mindless fighting when things could be easily handled by just planning things correctly.

The plan itself was very simple.

Ino will be taking over Kin, practically taking her out of the battle.

Ino did it fabulously then Kirito threw Ino's poison darts from her main body to Kin who was taken over by Ino.

Ino's catch those darts rather than dodging them.

The sound team raised their guards, looking for the team which attacked them.

At this time Shikamru, Kirito and Ino came out.

"I was not expecting for you to catch that," Kirito said to the Sound team. But this time Ino who was in Kin's body started to move closer to the other two members of the sound team.

The other two members of the sound team were focusing on Team 10 and did not see Kin's unusual moments.

"You should not have attacked us you tree huggers," said Zaku.

"Yes, and you should not have let your guard down," said Kirito and this is the exact moment, Ino stabbed both Douzu and Zaku with the poison dart which she caught.

The Ino which was with team 10 was just a clone of Kirito which turned into Kirito's Clone.

The Shikamaru beside Kirito was also his clone. The real Shikamaru at this time was guarding Ino's real body.

After stabbing both sound members, Ino stabs the poison dark to herself. Making Kin's body is also affected by the poison.

And then return to her original body.

All of this happened so fast that the sound team did not even understand what happened and before they started taking action, the poison started affecting them.

The poison itself was not very strong or lethal but had a very powerful paralysis effect.

This is why, Kirito likes planning and doing things in a more shinobi-like fashion rather than a head-to-head confrontation.

By this point, they already had both the different types of scrolls with them and they could have completed the task but Kirito remembered one thing which he had yet to do.

Saving Karin.

Kirito knows that Karin was in mortal danger in the anime at this time and there is a possibility that this might happen here as well.

He wanted to save Karin. Not only this will significantly reduce Sasuke's power in the future if he becomes the rebel like in the anime but this might also slow down Orochimaru's plan by a little bit.

There is also a possibility that she came to his side and at that time he will have an Uzumaki Kunoichi who can not only heal people but also a possible Jinchuriki who might hold a tail beast in the future.

He was already giddy with this thought.
