A word of advice,if you ever see me eating food(you probably never will) and I'm enjoying it. The worst thing you can do is interrupt me, I'm not held responsible of my actions after that point. Just saying😤

"Wow! Food tastes so good when you haven't eaten for such a long time," Hagoromo says ripping his jaws into a chicken drumstick. He sat alongside Aoba and Isagi, they had both eaten already so they just watched Hagormo devour his meats and avoid anything green on his plate.

"How long was I gone for?"

"Two weeks or so," Isagi says.

"Really?! It felt like more."

"We sent rescue parties after you but none could find any trace that you had even been here."
"Yeah,I'm only found when I want to be. I've got excellent evasion skills."

"Hagoromo-dono, because of these " skills",you almost died. If I wasn't out deep in the forest meditating, I wouldn't have heard your desperate plea." Isagi says.
Hagoromo laughs sheepishly remembering how he couldn't move a single muscle and was screaming for help for a good fifteen minutes.

"Yeah,I guess. But it was all worth it."
"Was your training successful?"
"Yeah, I've attained the powers of a God."

"Isn't that going a bit too overboard?" Aoba asks not believing Hagoromo's words.
"Far from it, I now have the powers of the founder of chakra, Kaguya. I haven't tried it out though."

"Why?" Isagi asks.

"I have an off feeling that something bad would happen if I were to use it. I'm not ready, that's for sure. But I think I'll know when I am."

"You,you attained such great power while I was recovering. I can't help but feel weak when o compare myself to you Hagoromo-dono." Isagi turns away in disgust. He was admitted from the hospital three days ago,he had been doing nothing but practicing his sword form and stances and he felt like he was getting no progress done. Hagoromo seemed too far to catch up to now.

"Are you stupid or something? Idiot! I chose you for a reason. Both you and I on a much higher pedestal than ordinary people. Us,we're destined for greatness, you'll get stronger,that I'm sure of. I know when I'm at my darkest hour,you'll be there to force me back into the light."

"Is that really what you see me as?" Isagi raises his eyebrow at Hagoromo's attempt in cheering him up.
"Of course, we're  cut from the piece of meat you and I."

"I'm pretty sure that's not the right saying to use there."

"Oh,whatever. You get the point."
After finishing all the meat available to him on the dinner table,he shoved his dish aside and took a long swig at the glass of water beside him. He let out a large belch.

"That was an excellent meal Aoba,the chefs in Paimon are top notch."

"Well,we we're a town full of trade guilds. Everyone was a craftsman and was amazing at what they did," says Aoba proudly.

"That's cool,well as much as we'd love to stay,we can't stay here any longer."

"What? You're leaving."

Hagoromo shrugged." It was going to happen sooner or later. We were never supposed to be here in the first place. But before I go,I'd like to thank the citizens of Paimon and you for your hospitality. I hope one day we can work together for a better cause than helping ourselves. Let's go,Isagi."

"Right," Isagi nods wrapping his sheathed sword in a brown cloth,tying it with a string and slinging it over his back. Hagormo also gets his rucksack and slings it on his back before wearing his cape.

Aoba was so abruptly they were about to leave them,he had to repay them somehow.
"Rei! Nagisa! Bring ut out!" From the kitchen doors bursted two men lugging a large crate about a head taller than them to the leaving duo.

They both turned around to inspect the crate.
"What's this Aoba-dono?" Isagi asks touching the purple blanket encasing the crate.

"Food,I figured you probably needed a bunch since you guys was close to exhaustion the first time I met you."

Isagi lightly Knocks Hagoromo on the head.
"That was this Guy's fault."
"My bad," Hagoromo grins.
"How are we going to carry around all this food?"

"You just,eh," Aoba hits  himself in the forehead at his stupidity. How were they going to carry that around? He wanted to repay them so much he wasn't thinking properly,he needed to get himself together or things he'll end up becoming a terrible leader.
"Sorry, I'm an idiot."

"Not at all Aoba,we can use my summoning beast,Bureibu to travel on his back. He's a phoenix by the way." Hagoromo grins widely.
"A Phoenix ?! Wow! So cool!" Aoba's eyes light up wildly.

"He must highly respect you if such a mythical beasts obeys you."

"I wouldn't call what he does " obeying"," Hagoromo says shuddering in fear from the last time he saw his companion.

"What?"

"Never mind that thanks for the food. We'll definitely use it all,we've really gotta go though. Good luck with everything." Hagoromo shakes his hand before walking back to the crate."

"You too," Aoba says joyfully.

"You mind giving me a hand with this Isagi?"

"How heavy?"

"Five kilos should be fine."

Isagi lightly taps the crate of food with his katana,a green ominous light ripples onto the crate." Shiroi Same," Isagi mutters as he focuses intently on the crate. The light disappears after a moment.
Hagoromo is suddenly able to lift the crate with one arm as easy as holding a bag of sugar.
"What a nifty trick."
"It's not some magic trick Hagoromo-dono, it's a technique."
"Alright my bad,see ya around Aoba. Oh hey Jack."

Hagoromo stops in his tracks as Jack is resting against a wall outside the dining hall,it is obvious he was waiting for them." So you're leaving?"
"Yes,we are. We are in a hurry so." Isagi continues on his way not wanting to further the conversation with Jack.
Hagoromo stares at Isagi puzzled.
"What's his problem?"
"He doesn't respect me as a fellow swordsman,after things I said and did who could blame him. I will redeem myself though. And next time." Jack gets from his position,he points his finger at Isagi's direction.
"I will surely defeat you,with my swordsman abilities alone!"
Isagi stops walking,he acknowledges Jacks words. He smiles to himself as he continues to walk away.

"Well, we'll be going now,goodbye!" Hagoromo says chasing after Isagi making sure not to spill the food. Jack watches them in awe as the two leave the building,this two they were swimming into a huge storm. A storm where weaklings will surely be mercy to the more superiors. Well,Jack's glory days are over,he needs to carry what his father left,he won't be manipulated ever again.
"Oi! Aoba,you need to get going. Who else is going to to inform the Land of Fire Feudal lord of the new leader of Paimon. Also,you need to go to the Leaf village to request their assistance with some bodyguards. Hurry up will you!?"

"So,where are we heading now Hagoromo-don't?"
"I predicted that we'd have Scarlet by now, we'll need more manpower for the next objective. We're heading to the land hidden in the mist now,we'll stopping off at a remote town in the Grass lands though."
"Why?"
"To get our new comrade silly."
"And who might that be?"

"The Fairy Godmother of the Grasslands,Nia!"

"Im back,anyone home? Just kidding,you guys do nothing but stay here,what losers." Judas walks through two large doors leading to a grand hall. 4 hooded figures sit at a long narrow table,they do not look up after hearing Judas' loud arrival. The hooded figure at the head of the table is much larger than the others, starting from him and going left to right the seventh hooded figure speaks softly.
"So you've finally returned back after you defected our ranks?"
Judas shoves his hands into his pockets.
"I never defected,Matthew. I just didn't want to be locked up here."
"No matter the case,you left after being specifically told not to leave. Now,Peter will give you his verdict." Everyone looks to the head of the table to watch their leaders reaction.

"Wait,hold on Peter. Before you say anything I've come here to tell you something."
"Your defection is inexcusable,a non follower of our father doesn't not deserve to roam free."
"I have news about Hagoromo Yohei,the boy who has Kaguya locked up inside him."
Peter let's out a fierce growl at the sound of his name, Hagoromo Yohei, the one blemish in their perfect plan.
"He's appeared and he knows about us."
"How could that be?! We should be unknown to the minds of nearly everyone in the ninja nations!"
"There's been a leak! I knew we shouldn't have trusted that damn Tsuchikage and Feudal Lord. Se should've killed them long before!"
"Silence!" Peter roars as he pound his large fist onto the table.
"Peter, Andrea, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, brethren should not bicker before our father. He's watching us,waiting for us to revive him. Hagoromo Yohei is the only thing stopping us. We will dispose of him in due time. Disgusting monster,anyone who receives the power of a non human like that witch Kaguya is a criminal. But someone who actually has her soul in them? We're doing the humans a favour by getting rid of chakra in the world. Chakra,an energy created by beasts from another world,soon it will be eradicated,along with the Yohei and the ninja of this world. And the humans will finally then turn back to us begging for forgiveness. Begging for our father's forgiveness,just wait father. You will be whole again next summer,just wait."
"Praise to our father," they all say in unison.
"Judas,since you were too daft to kill him when you saw him. It is now you're job to find him and eradicate him. He must not be alive when our father deconstruct back down to this world. We will soon begin to put our plans in action"

"Aw man,you serious?! I didn't kill him because I thought we didn't need to kill him just yet."
"You're a fool for saying that Judas," Philip states coldly.
"What you say?!"
"Enough fighting!" Andrea cries out.
Peter begins to cough violently spitting blood into his hand.
"Peter my brother,are you ok?" Andrea asks worriedly.
"I'm fine,we will die for the sake of our father's wishes. We will return the world back into it's world of chaos and terror."
"For our father," they chant.

"For our father," judas says a little Lowe than everyone else in the room.
"Well if that's all,I guess I'll go looking for him." Judas begins to leave the dark cold room belfry he hears his name being called out.
"Judas," Peter says.
"Eh?"
"If you fail us again,I will personally find you and kill you."
"Yeah yeah, I get it old man."

"We're making good progress,we should be at the grass land  by sun up. Good work Bureibu." Hagoromo patted his wavy red fur happily. Isagi,after two hours of flying is still in awe of magnificent the beast was.
"Shut up you!"
"What's the matter? Still a bit sour about how I'm your new master now?"
"Lady Kaguya will come back and stronger than ever, for now I must listen obediently to the master of my master."
"Yeah that's right! From now on you have to call me master! Say it call me master Hagoromo-Woah!" Hagoromo stops talking as he's thrown of balance,Bureibu had suddenly ticketed his body to the right and both Hagoromo and Isagi were clinging onto his fur to stay on.
"Bureibu! What the heck?" Hagoromo shouts.
"Ackk! The food!" The crate helplessly plummets to the ground having no one to keep it on the phoenix's back.
"Why? Why the food?" Hagoromo asks openly crying.
"We've got company Hagoromo."
Hagoromo looks above to see a stream of eletricity narrowly missing Bureibu,he dodges again as he quickly descends not wanting to risk getting hit.
"Who's attacking?" Isagi asks looking below.
"I think I've got a good idea who,be on guard Isagi."
"Of course."
Bureibu lands on the ground slowly as Hagoromo and Isagi drop down.
"I'm out," Bureibu says before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

"I'd never expect to see you here,Hagoromo."
"Yo, Hagoromo hows it going?"
Hagoromo frowns as he looks at his three opponents.
"How's it going,Sasuke. And Kill,what are you doing here with them?"
"I've decided staying with them is my best bet in running into you,and hey, I was spot on." The other campanion of Sasuke waves around his sword violently.
"Hagoromo Yohei,seems like I get to test my strength on the red serpent."
"You've got a lot of people wanting to fight you Hagoromo-dono,why are you making such an angry face?"
"You bastards,you ruined my precious crate of food. I was saving it for the end of our trip. I knew I'd should have had some during the trip.Hagoromo points his finger at the destroyed crate oozing with rice ,sauces,and different meats.

"Is that why he's amgry?" The ninja with the massive sword asks jokingly.

Flames envelope Hagoromo,he resembles more of a demon than a human as he removes his Leaf's armbands.
"Let's go Isagi," Hagoromo says lowly.
"Right," Isagi says,sword at the ready.

"You bastards will realise how dangerous it is to mess with a man's food!"

*****

Merry Christmas and a happy new year! Thanks for all the love and support ,I really appreciate you guys taking the time to read my terrible stories. I've come to realise I've altered the story so much from the original plan that there a lot of unexplained things from my first book or maybe somethings don't make any sense ie. I may have made a Yohei use chakra when they're supposed to not be able to. So if you've guys seen any,please feel free to drop a comment and tell me so I can fix it Asasp! On with the story!

"Uwahh!" Isagi screams as he leaves the portal. He was now about a hundred feet in the air and falling fast,he quickly got his bearings as he formulated a plan to try and escape the predicament he found himself in.
Shiroi Same!
He makes all his and Hagoromo's heavy belongings weightless,which only decreases their fall slightly.
"If only I knew how to change the weight of human beings," Isagi curses.
A person suddenly speeds past them,hurdling to the floor faster than them.
"Who's that?"

The person wore a cloak from what Isagi could notice. The person landed gracefully on the floor regardless how he or she was tumbling downwards at such a high speed.

The cloaked person sprung upwards straight after and skillfully grabbed Isagi under his or her right arm and Hagoromo in his or hers left. Isagi couldn't help but feel babied as he was just manhandled. The person landed on the floor and dropped the two boys. Hagoromo drops with a thud still exhausted from using Kaguya's powers.
Isagi scrambles to his feet facing his saviour. He points his finger defiantly.
"On normal circumstances, I would've been furious with the way I was just handeled,but since I didn't see any other way we could've survived without you. So we are in your debt." Isagi bows his head in gratitude.

"Please remove your hood so we can see the face of our saviour."
Isagi says warmingly. Hagoromo sits up also interested to see this new face. He's still a little woozy but was ok for the most part.
"Yeah,we would've been in some deep trouble if you hadn't of showed up when you did. Let's see your face at least.
Hagoromo and Isagi could see a wide smile from behind the shadow of the hood.
"You sure? I don't think you'll like what you see. Especially, you sword boy."

Isagi's eyes whiten after hearing the voice. It definitely wasn't a man,that was sure. He had recognised that voice from somewhere, but surely it couldn't be...

"Surely, it's not who I think it is?" Hagoromo says in disbelief.
The person rips off the cloak from her body.

"It's me! Scarlet Yohei,in the flesh and soul." She stands with her feminine like posture sticking her tongue out in glee at the faces of the two boys.

"I knew it,it seems the traitorous witch has returned for her punishment." Isagi quickly grabs his katana.

"Hello sword boy, you wanna go?" Scarlet playfully gets into a fighting position.

"I won't let you get away this time."

"Hold on Isagi,she must have a good reason for coming back. She's not as stupid as to pick a fight with us,at least I hope she isn't. Let's hear her out." Hagoromo says bringing his hand to the air stopping Isagi.

"No Hagoromo-dono, I will not yield or stand down. Last time I listened,we wore a second away from dying. You've become clouded with your judgement. Now,I will do what I think is right regardless of what you think. Shiroi-,"

"I said stand down!"

Isagi notices the aura change around Hagoromo. Hagoromo turned to stare at him villainously,with dangerous eyes. Isagi instantly became parched and short of breath. He resembled a hungry beast telling his lack to stay away from his hunt,Hagoromo had never given Isagi such a look making it all the more scary to attempt to ignore.He begrudgingly let go of his sword not wanting any further confrontation.

"Alright fine then,but I still don't think even letting her speak is a good idea."

Hagoromo's aura mellows down as he nods in agreement.
"Don't worry,she won't be trying anything funny again without me pounding her in the ground."

Scarlet raises an eyebrow wanting to retort back but deciding against after seeing that side of Hagoromo.
"OK,so here's the thing. I'm joining you in your adventure for peace or whatever."

"Great, but what made you change your mind?" Hagoromo asks fist pumping in the air.

"Yes,why would a witch such as yourself cone back? You need something from us right?" Isagi spits watching Scarlet carefully for any sudden movements.

"Isagi,calm down,"

"No,sword boy is right," Scarlet sighs.

"The only comrades I've ever known are the Yohei. Now they've abandoned my only friend in this world and you two are my best bet in getting him back."

"And who is this "best friend"?

"Muon."

"The robot?" Hagoromo vaguely remembered a Yohei member who never showed his face and only talked to Scarlet. Hagoromo had once asked to fight him and was obliterated by his sheer strength,he remembered he blamed the metal suit he wore have him more "attack power" to save him from Kill's constant nagging and jokes.

"He's not a robot," Scarlet snaps.
"He wears a machine that keeps his frail body alive. Ever since the purge,he's been wearing that suit to survive."

"OK,I see. Where is he?"

"That's the thing I have no idea what prison he's been cooped up in. I need your help to help me find it and break in."

"Why would we help a criminal escape?" Isagi asks. Hagoromo gives him one last look to shut up before he came there himself and lynched him. Isagi humbled down a little.

"They put him there,after he refused to carry out a job."

"What job?"

"To kill the Land of lightening Feudal Lord and family. He had no problem to kill one of the men who was involved in the purge, but he couldn't bring himself to kill the next heir,a three year old boy."

Hagoromo and Isagi's gaze hardens after hearing this.
"We are known as "Death Gods" who always accomplish the mission carried out to us so a Yohei not carrying out his mission because of compassion is unheard of. They sent him away for attempted murder of a Feudal Lord and becoming a rogue ninja."

"I see,it seems he has a kind heart. We have no problem helping you. But keep in mind,we have our own tasks to carry out and you must follow through with them."

"As long as you promise to help me I'll do whatever you tell
