Rebirth In The Naruto World - 18 Insubordination and Worry

“AHHHH!” Ren screamed as he clutched onto his right arm. Unable to endure the pain, he continued to scream.

At this moment, Ameryuri ran away holding onto only one of her blades as she had to leave behind the other because she couldn’t hold it and it would surely create problems if it slowed her down.

“Damnit! That kid was crazy.” Ameryuri clenched her teeth while limping away.

The pain was the worst Ren had ever experienced, as he continued to scream before he slowly felt his consciousness go away.

…

“Damnit! Where did that brat go?” Asuma grumbled as he could no longer hear the sounds of Ren’s Chidori. A feeling of unease swept across his chest as he saw a blade laying on the ground. Looking around there was lots of blood splattered across the trees and ground and a body on the ground motionless.

But, before Asuma could react, a piercing scream came from his left as Izumi darted towards Ren’s motionless body. Tears started to come out of her eyes while she was clutching onto Ren’s body. “Asuma sensei! He’s not dead right?” Izumi asked with grief in her voice.

Seeing her teacher walk up to her and not answering her question, Izumi’s tears started flowing like a river as she looked down at Ren’s pained face when she heard her teacher say, “He’s not dead, but he’s critically injured. We need to get him treatment as soon as possible.”

“Now’s not the time to be crying, we need to start moving now if we want to save him.” Asuma continued as he picked up the blade that was left behind and Ren’s body while he started moving.

Izumi’s attitude was given, as she was extremely pained to see this sight. But, Zoro was speechless as he felt powerless as he didn’t know what to do. As of this day, both Zoro and Izumi made a vow to themselves to get stronger.

“I don’t want to see any of my friends get hurt anymore, how am I supposed to become Hokage if I can’t protect my friend,” Zoro thought to himself with his fist clenched.

“I am so useless, being protected and not being able to do anything while Ren and Asuma sensei were protecting me. I want to become stronger so I don’t become a burden to anyone.” Izumi thought while wiping her tears from her red eyes which now had a second tomoe formed on it.

…

Luckily they weren’t far from their destination as they arrived at a small town.

“Hey you, is there anyone who can give Ren treatment?” Asuma asked a merchant hurriedly.

“Y-Yes! I know someone who knows some medical ninjutsu, follow me” the merchant who was being escorted stuttered as he was slightly frightened by Asuma’s aggressiveness.

“Sensei, will Ren be alright?” Izumi asked with a worried tone.

“He will, there are some people here who know medical ninjutsu, they’ll heal him back to peak state as if there was no injury in the first place.” Asuma tried reassuring Izumi as he knew how much Izumi cared for Ren.
