Preparation for Escort

“Sasuke,meet Takumi Kito,a goverment officer,”Reena said.

Kito noded“Nice to meet you."

"It's a pleasure,"Sasuke smiled.

Rina brought out some documents"For the first sorties,you will escort him,four cavalries

,two platoons of troops, medics and confidential documents to Azumi.”

“How much you will pay us?”Sasuke asked.

“2300 ETY,"Reena said.

"Come here early tommorow,"she added.

"We'll start the task tommorow,"Sasuke said eyeing to his subordinates.

"What is it?"asked Haru.

"Escorting,"Sasuke said.

Sana chuckled"But we are four!"

Sasuke sighed"For that reason,I'll make it four-for-a-team."

They walk slowly to a clearing.It's situated near a forest.Several horses are there,having

sprint tests.Their keeper record their performance.The tests are essential for the cavalries.

Cavalries attack in a certain formation.If some of the horses can't match up their speed with others,the formation would fail,thus affecting the attack.

Sasuke motioned them to stop"I'll explain about the team."

Sasuke turned his back"The team is a new formation of a team.This formation is an

advantage in a none-direct attack."

"Sasuke-san,if I'm correct,are the variety of formation serve different purposes?"Kata asked.

Sasuke noded"Yes.Three years ago,Orochimaru had sent The Sound Four to retrieve an

item.There are four,but their formation are the petak.The formation you will take

is the T."

Sasuke pointed "Nasuki you'll be at the center among the three at the front of the

formation.Your technique, Bunshin can support your teammate."

"Sasuke-san,how you define the support?"Nasuki asked.

"You have two objectives,attack and support.I realized that the Bunshin and Kawarimi

are the double-edged sword for the objectives."Sasuke stated.

Sasuke turned "Haru,Sana both of you are beside Nasuki.You're objectives are attack and

bring item such as medication,weapons or scrolls."

Sasuke disappeared"As for you,Kata,you'll follow them from the back at a certain

distance.You are swift and able to reduce the chakra signal.Your Kamaitachi is a

long-range technique.Those are the reasons I choose you."

Kata interrupted"Then,I attack and support my teammates from the remote."

Sasuke noded "I believe you add kunai to Kamaitachi.Tests the combo for weakness."

"Don't you want to train us?"Sana asked.

Sasuke smiled "No,the Bunshin will."

"Kito,why are you here?"Sasuke asked.

Kito smirked"Waiting,as you can see."

Sasuke glared "You were sent,didn't you?"

"Reena-san want me to know you and your subordinates better,"Kito stated.

Sasuke leaped"Leave this place.They are having their drill."

"As you wished,"Kito walked away.

Kabuto bowed"Orochimaru-sama,the search team had arrived."

The search team walk slowly to the entrance.They are drenching with sweat.One of them

is holding a scroll.

They kneeled"Orochimaru-sama,we had found the gate.It's located at Azumi.And this"

the leader showed the scroll "is a transcript about the gate."

Orochimaru smirked"Take the scroll to the Information Department."

"Yes,Orochimaru-sama,"they exited the room.

"Kabuto,send several ANBU to the Resistance,"Orochimaru said..

Sasuke is walking along a trench.There is a memorial site situated on a hill for the death

of hundreds of troops and shinobi during the Besiege of Umi.It was here,Urashi

Tanaka,the only cavalry unit survived,along with his son,Urashi Shinta led hundreds of

troops and several shinobi against their besieger.Eventually,they lost the battle.

However,several hours after their death,a large reinforcement arrived and defeated

the besieger.No one had expected the remnants of an unwell trained battalion,had helped

the country to gain victory from their losing battle.

When Sasuke arrives at the site,an old woman is standing at the front of two memorials.

Urashi Tanaka and Urashi Shinta was encarved on them.

"I'm sorry,I...I had promised...,"the woman cried.

She fidgeted"But he reminded me of you."

Sasuke slowly leaves the site,not to disturb the woman.

"Would anyone mourn me if I die?"Sasuke whispered.

As he walks along the same trench,he can hears the voices of the heroes of the battle.

He stops and gazes at the sky.

"Yes,someone will,"he muttered as he starts to run to the horizon.
