3 The cave

"Hahh ....."

Konan sighed, relieved. The battle just now was very tense for him, even though he did not participate in the fight. Since death was imminent every moment, if there was no luck Konan would be hit by stray attacks.

Or you could say he was also very lucky. A shinobi lay dying right in front of him, which was a gift in itself.

On condition that he can kill her

Konan also had to watch out for bloodhounds with strong smells.

'Everything I'm going to pick up needs to be washed to get rid of the smell.'

Konan turned the shinobi's head. Check in detail for information.

"... Konoha"

'Seems like just an ordinary chunin level shinobi

"... uhh" the shinobi groaned

Degg

Konan's eyes tightened

"I have to kill him immediately!"

Konan gritted his teeth. To be honest he was afraid because this was the first time he had to kill. Konan closed both the shinobi's nostrils and mouth and choked him.

"Ahhhh !!"

The shinobi twitched for a moment and then limped weakly, he was dead.

"Hah .... hahh ... hahhh .... hahhhh"

Konan's breathing grew heavier. His hands were shaking violently. Even though he was determined, it turned out that Konan was still afraid.

'It's not easy to survive in this world. Even if I didn't kill him the shinobi would definitely die from his wounds. Yes!! I'm only helping him by breaking his suffering faster !!! '

Konan persuaded himself. Even though he knew his defense was a lie, Konan tried to believe him to calm down.

"... fuhh"

After calming down, Konan immediately looked for the items needed. When his right hand touched the shinobi's head to remove Konoha's forehead protector, Konan stiffened back up. His soul seemed to be sucked into the shinobi's body.

'what's with this strong attraction. Like about to split my soul in two. I wonder what happens if I don't hold back the process? '

Out of curiosity, Konan immediately let go of her control over her own soul which came out like a white light from her hand.

And he immediately regretted his choice.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH !!!!"

Konan shouted, not caring about the surroundings. This pain literally split his soul in two. His body trembled violently. Blood started coming out of his mouth, eyes and nose. His ears were buzzing. Konan gripped the shinobi's head firmly, making a grip.

'Siall !! What happened?!! I just let it flow and this thing really rips my soul? !! What an absurd world !! '

Konan continued screaming desperately, in pain. About five seconds later the light in his hand split in half. One part returned to his body and the other was absorbed into the shinobi's head.

'I feel like something important is missing from me'

The shinobi's body trembled. Then Konan felt his gaze split into two. One was looking at the Konoha shinobi whose eyes were open, and the other was looking at a little girl with a dumbfounded expression on her face.

"You-"

"You-"

They both said it in unison. Konan was even more shocked, before he could even think about the shinobi's body shaking again. And Konan felt something coming back to him. Even though it didn't mix again, Konan felt it was his split soul earlier.

Then his ears caught a very small voice in the distance.

'I have to go right away. Just take his small items. The shout was too loud '

After confirming that the shinobi was not breathing. Konan immediately took the fiber headband in his pocket, his shuriken sarong, and two small bags on his waist. Initially he also intended to take the clothes but didn't work because it took a lot of time.

'put all the things in the cloth with the fish and cover the body with trash'

After rolling in the alley water to disguise the smell, Konan ran as fast as possible with the luggage on his back. As the sound in the distance came from the nearer north, Konan ran towards the south which was full of wreckage from the paper bombs.

'Where are the inhabitants of this town? I guess I can't mix in the crowd '

After passing the winding road, it rained heavily. And the less visible light. Konan put the parcel of cloth from his back to his chest, hugged him tightly to protect him from the rain from getting wet

"I don't seem to be being chased ...."

Maybe because the shinobi's corpse was in the alley, the sound approaching from the north stopped chasing. Konan accelerated his pace again even though his body screamed in pain again. Time is life. If he was a second late maybe he would be seen by the voice and arrested.

'This city is completely destroyed. there is no safe place here, I must leave the city immediately and find a cave to take shelter '

The rain was getting heavier. After exiting the city from the south, Konan entered a lush forest. Relying on his instincts, he continued to run straight away from the city as far as possible.

The forest was very dark with no sunshine and heavy rain. Konan stumbled several times before stopping running. His body was very bloody with all his wounds open and because he was running.

'Where can I find a cave ?! My body will reach its limit in a moment. Uhh ... I don't wanna pass out in the woods'

After walking for a few minutes, Konan found a small, inconspicuous cave with many large trees around it. Immediately he ran in and passed out. His last sight before fainting was a kunoichi lying in a cave that was deeper than him.
