The Great Escape [PLOT]

[Shou Uzumaki]

It was now almost sun set and Shou sat in silence in the Councils office. One of the council members was dead the other three were knocked out and had the seal of silence placed on their tongues. Shou has been sitting here for a good ten minutes since he had knocked out the last council member. He was debating on what he should do now. Taking a deep breath Shou slowly opened his eyes and looked around the council room. His eyes then laid on one of the council members. Shou knew this man well since he was the one who took care of the library where all the Konoha scrolls were placed. Smirking to himself, Shou leaped off the desk he was sitting on and walked over to the knocked out council member. Smirking Shou placed his hand on the council member’s head and closed his eyes. It took only a handful of moments for Shou to find what he was looking for.

Sorting through the council member’s memories he was able to figure out where the library was hidden and what obstacles he had to maneuver his way through. ”Peace of cake,” whispered Shou as he slowly opened his eyes and pushed the council member back into his chair. Combing his hands through his hair he took a few items off each council member. Shou then stopped at the council member he had killed. Pulling out his father’s bowing knife he placed it to his lips and thought. Smirking like a loin on the hunt Shou cut open the man’s shirt. Placing his knife at the top of the collar bone he cut down to the point where it becomes open space bellow the ribs. Shou would do the same with the other side and then from where the two points connected he cut straight down. Blood was spilling out of the dead man like a fossett that had been left on for too long. Placing the knife back into his pocket he pulled out one of his father’s ice scrolls and snapped it open on the table beside the dead member. Smirking Shou pulled back the skin to reveal the inside of the man bones and all. Taking a deep breath Shou gave the ribs a few quick hits which caused them to crack.

Once the ribs were cracked Shou placed his hands in the small spaces between then and then pulled hard. From the cracks he had created the bones broke until the pressure revealing the organs beneath. Shou would proceed in taking the organs and placing them into the scroll. Once he had finished he rolled up the scroll and whipped his blood hands on the councilman’s shirt. ”See you guys later,” called Shou softly before he disappeared in a poof of smoke.

Shou opened his eyes to find himself standing at the Hokage building. Blinking slightly Shou quickly performed Henge No Jutsu | Transformation Technique disguising himself as the council member. It was now dark out now and most of Konoha to out celebrating since today was the Spring Festival. The council men where smart to attack on this day since no one would find his or his wife’s body until the next day giving them enough time to cover their tracks but one thing they didn’t calculate was Shou defeating them. Now Shou will have time to get what he needs and disappear and Shou had the perfect plan to disappear into the depths of the shinobi world. It will just take time and lots of training. Smirking to himself, Shou entered into the building. He was greeted by a handful of shinobi that Shou himself also knew and as Shou predicted all of them were leaving to go join the rest of the village in the celebrations.

Shou finally arrived at the library. Placing his hand on the door he felt the seal that was placed on the door. Chuckling to himself, Shou pulled out what he got off the council man which was a seal slip. Placing it on the door the seal displaced the seal causing the doors to swing open. Placing the slip back into his pouch he entered into the room. It was a giant round shaped room filled to the sealing with all sorts of scroll. Shou closed his eyes and went back through the memories he had took from the other man. It took a few moments to find them but he now was able to figure out which scrolls he needed to steal. Shou was planning to grab a few suiton scrolls, a couple fuuinjutsu scrolls and one scroll that belonged to his clan that the village was keeping hidden within this library.

Shou quickly skimmed the south side of the library and smirked when he found what he was looking for. Grabbing onto the latter he pushed it around to the spot he needed and he quickly climbed. Grabbing three scrolls he pulled one open while holding the other two in between his fingers. Letting his eyes skim the scroll he found this was what he was looking for. Placing the three scrolls into his pouch he gripped the latter tightly and sat down as he searched for his next target. It took a bit longer since the light up here wasn’t as good. Gripping tightly to the latter again Shou placed his foot on the edge of a shelf and pushed himself forward. The latter spun down the book shelf and he arrived to the other side in only a couple of seconds. Climbing up a tad hire he found the scrolls he was looking for. This time it was only two scrolls. He place dthe scrolls in his pouch like the rest but now was the difficult part.

Taking a deep breath Shou climb down from where he was and went to search for the last and most important scroll. He needed to find his mother’s Uzumaki scroll. Shou had noticed its disappearance almost five months ago. This scroll held information of Uzumaki clan jutsus as well as information about sacred Uzumaki objects. Once on the ground Shou went back to the memories in search of the one memory he was in depressed need of. It took a tad longer to find since he had to go back a bit farther than the others but he found it in the end. Opening his eyes he walked forward and placed his hands on the bookcase and reached in he felt around for a few moments before he found the konoha symbol carved into the wood. Shou pushed down gently and pulled back as the bookcase spun around revealing a secret passageway. Looking behind him he took a deep breath before entering into the passageway closing the door behind him as he did. The next morning it would look as if no one had entered since Shou made sure he placed the seal back into place. Shou knew he couldn’t turn back now, it was too late now.

Shou dispelled the henge jutsu once he was safely inside the passageway. Shou would fallow this hallway of rock to the very end where he would stand in a study. This was a secret study where the councilmen met to discuss secret issues that they didn’t want anyone to know about especially the Hokage. Smirking Shou studied the room. It was a small room only being ten by fifteen feet but it made up with its high ceilings. In the back of the room was a fire place which was lit and had probably been burning for the last few hours. They probably had met here only hours before Shou had found them to discuss what they should do with him and his wife’s bodies. Sighing softly Shou walked over to the large low round table that had papers all over it. Shou pushed through papers reading through the information. Nothing important, that he already knew. Sighing softly to himself, again he went to the tall bookshelf the only one in the whole room. He let his eyes skim through the shelves and he was able to find what he was looking for in a couple of minutes. The one thing he had been searching for.

Reaching up he grabbed the larger sized scroll and pulled it out. The Uzumaki clan symbol was placed on the scroll. ”I found you,” breathed Shou onto the scroll as he placed a gentle kiss on the clan symbol before placed it into his pouch with the others. Shou spun himself slowly in his spot as he let his eyes skim the walls for what he was looking for. This room had two exits the one he had come through and the second that was hidden in one of the walls. Shou remembered from the memory he had stolen that it was hidden behind a rice paper scroll painting. Shou found it after a couple of spins and walked towards it. The painting was of the first Hokage and Madara Uchiha. Blinking a couple of times Shou removed the painting and placed it on the desk. Placing his hand on a square carving on the wall he pushed forward onto it. A loud thud was heard as an outline of a door suddenly appeared and it slowly creaked open. Smirking to himself, Shou walked back over to the painting rolling it up he walked over to the fire he stuck it in slightly. It only took a few moments for it to catch fire. Once it flaming Shou through it at the bookshelf. Reaching for one of the metal fireplace tools Shou pushed out several flaming locks onto the floor before pushing the table onto it. Shou walked over to the entrance he had opened and watched as the room turned into flames.

All these things these men had worked for will all turn to ash and they will have to start from square one. Shou was pleased with himself as he watched as the walls started to burst into flames and that was when Shou thought it best to leave. Entering into the new passageway he closed the door behind him. Shou would run a few meters out before performing several hand seals. Then leaning back Shou aimed and then fired a bullet of water at the ceiling right above the entrance of the entryway. He shot out three bullets before it started to crumble down blocking off the entrance. Smirking Shou them turned tails and ran as fast as he could to the end of the passageway. Once at the end he found himself standing before a latter. Shou could smell the smoke of the fire seeping through the cracks so he had to get out fast and disappear just as quickly.

Taking a hold of the latter he climbed up. Pushing the top up gently he looked out to see where he was. The exit seemed to come out in the center of Konoha. Smirking Shou gently pushed the top back and on the ground and quickly got out before anyone could see him. Shutting the door gently he covered it up with some dirt before disappearing into the crowd. The streets were full of life and everyone was in their yukatas. The city was lit with lanterns and booths were set up everywhere from foot to games. In the next couple of hours they will be setting off fireworks from the top of the Hokage’s heads. It would be a beautiful site but Shou was sure he would be gone by then.

Shou would enter into one of the local BBQ shops and went to the back where he would find the bathrooms. Checking if there was anyone in he locked the door behind him. Sitting down on the top of the toilet with the lid down he could sit criss cross. Shou would now focus. After almost thirty minutes he would open his eyes and leap of the toilet to look at himself in the mirror. He now was in the form of a young boy with long black hair wearing a yellow yukata with one blind scarred eye. This was his former son who had died many years ago. ”Time for my escape,” whispered Shou who would now call himself Ayumu in this form. Unlocking the door he quickly left the BBQ shop and disappeared into the crowd again. Shou would spend a good hour wandering the streets taking in his last moments in Konoha. After he left he was never going to come back unless he actually had to.

Shou would play some games and eat the local delicacies that come out during festival times. Shou enjoyed himself finding it funny that no one knows what had just happened in the last 12 hours. Shou wondered what his bounty would be once they found the dead corpses and the missing scrolls. But what was going to make Shou laugh would be seeing the look on their faces when they see that their secret hiding spot had been destroyed turned to nothing but ash. No one will know what he stole from that place so his mission at hand will be unknown and no one will see what is coming to them. Shou laughed softly to himself as he nibbled on some cotton candy as he headed to the closest gate entrance.

When he arrived he found exactly what he was expecting. Several carts were sitting out next to the gate. During this time of year many travelers come to Konoha to come and celebrate the festivities. Looking around for the normal guard he found them preoccupied in conversation. Using shunshin he quickly hid in one of the carts where he would hide under blankets and other items. Shou would then slip into the darkness of sleep. Shou would be asleep for a good ten hours before he would wake up. When he woke up he found he was moving slightly, which meant who ever owned the cart had left Konoha. Smirking to himself Shou snuggled himself into the blankets.

”To perfect for words,” whispered Shou as he closed his eyes and listened to the sounds around him. The cart would keep moving for several more hours before it stopped. Shou quickly looked out the back to find they were in a neighboring town. Doing a quick check for people he quickly got out of the card and ran. Shou was going to get out of the Land of Fire as fast as he could. The faster the better. He planned to stay in the Frost Country for the next few months until Konoha gave up on their search for him.

Shou had visited the land of frost many years ago as young Jounin. It was a simple scout mission but from that mission Shou had learned about a small village far in the mountains that was very secluded from any other people. Shou was going ot live their among the people. He was going to use his medical knowlage to become a medic within the village. Shou was going to take care of people like his mother had done before she had died. Shou was going to take the former of his former wife for time while the search for his head went of full blast. Shou knew it would take several months for them to even think about giving up but Shou had time.

Shou had as much time as he needed. There weren’t any people stopping him from doing what he needed to do. He going to complete the mission he created for himself and he was going to make this world a better place for everyone. No one will ever be manipulated ever again by those council men or anyone like them. No one was going to die because of their stupidity and greed. Shou’s trip to the Frost country would take him a good month to do by foot but in the end it was worth it. Shou had been passed by several Konoha shinobi on his travels but none of them expected a young child or a young woman to their target. Shou was thankful to his mother for leaving this kinjutsu for him

Once he arrived in the front country it took him a week to find the village again. He would introduce himself to the villagers as a traveling medic looking for a home and he would call his new ID Biki which meant beautiful. Shou would spend his time as Biki within the village for a good three months before he found it safe enough to even leave the village as Shou. But while he was in the village he planned his next twenty steps. His first target would be either the Kiri ninja or the Kumo ninja. These two shinobi were only part of his plan, he had two other shinobis he had to grab before the real plan would start to play out.

Nothing was going to stop him from completing what he needed to do and Shou thought at the back of his head that he might need help but this early in the plan he had no idea how much man power he needed for this plan. For now he was going to way out the storm he had created and just plan for his first attacks. Once the storm had passed he will go after his first target who would give him the power he needed and the intell he will probably need for the future. Shou was pleased with him that he was able to create this plan in such a short period of time. Shou guest the death of his wife was the breaking point for his sanity. Shou for the longest time knew he would break at some point but he would have never guessed it would be the death of his own wife that would cause him to go over the edge.
