After Killing Ron, Yami looked at Haku with a deadpan expression. Haku felt a little embarrassed and said "You said may hurt me a little but won't do much and take me as a hostage but this guy kept saying things which made me feel creeps all over my body."
'I didn't things to turn out like this just at the start. Well, now I should take care of this idiot's body.' Yami took off the equipment and mist shinobi things that Ron had on him. He finished doing it for the lower half and stored half the body in a storage scroll. He wanted to devour it and get this over with but Haku was in the same room as him.
Yami was about to take things off from the upper half but then someone kicked open the door. "What the hell is taking so long Ron?" Yami who heard Sho's voice come from the hall knew that he didn't have enough time to hide the body and even the smell of blood as Sho was walking straight toward the bedroom.
"Why do I smell blood? Idiot I hope you didn't do anything to the kid." Sho shouted as he entered the bedroom. He saw the torso of a mist shinobi laying on the ground and Ron standing beside him with one of his legs on the crushed head of the corpse.
Sho looked at the corpse and then at the kid that lay on the bed. He sighed in relief seeing that the kid they had to kidnap was unharmed.
"Who is this?" Sho whispered to Ron.
Yami who had now transformed into Ron, already knew how Ron behaved just from listening to his conversation outside. He looked at Sho and said "Just some idiot was here to protect the kid. Don't worry I have already knocked the kid unconscious. I didn't want those assholes from the Anbu looking down at me." Ron said with a scowl.
Seeing that his friend was behaving, as usual, Sho didn't even doubt whether the Ron standing in front of him is real or not.
"ARE YOU DUMBFUCKS DONE??? WE ARE BURNING THIS SHITTY HUT DOWN." A voice came from outside.
Sho looked at the door in annoyance and said "Come on take the kid. These people won't wait for us to come out." Yami nodded and threw Haku on his shoulder and walked out of the hut with Sho and just as Sho said the Anbus started throwing fuel all over the house to burn it down.
Seeing the two come one of the Anbus laughed and said "It is good that you two idiots came out or else we would have barbequed you insidehaha"
Yami was getting tired of their trash talk but he understood that the discipline the hidden leaf puts in their shinobi is way higher than the current hidden mist where even murderers and rapists are shinobis working for the Mizukage faction.
The Anbus lit the entire house on fire and then turned to Sho and Ron and said "Go and escort this kid into the underground prison and make sure to take care of him properly. If not we will come to give you pointers are your seniors...haha"
Sho clicked his tongue and started running toward the Mizukage building. Yami with Haku on his shoulder also followed him. As he was running he looked around and even passed a few small villages which were under the Mizukage faction.
It was a terrible sight as the villages were in a very dire state. People here were hiding in their houses and the ones on the road all look scared while the shinobis openly threatened and pushed around the civilians. No wonder it was called the blood mist. He even saw a few shinobis snatching kids from families. He understood they must be doing that to make the kids shinobis at a very young age.
Yami(Ron) then along with Sho went to escort Haku(Yuta) into the prison.

Present Time
Kozu Village
Kana who now had little hope of Yuta surviving stood aside while Mei and Santo were instructing the shinobis on what to do and what to investigate.
After they both were done Santo signaled Mei to talk to Kana. He knew that her sister is very soft-natured and she doesn't even like killing. Even when training, she would hesitate to attack her siblings. It took a lot of time for Kana to get the resolve to take another life.
Mei sighed as she looked at the beautiful girl lost in thought so she went close to her and with a smirk on her face hit Kana on the head.
"Ouch...what was that for Sister Mei?"Kana asked as she broke out of her stupor.
"Kana, why are you so attached to that kid? And don't tell me because he felt different." Mei stated.
Kana tried to give her another reason but she couldn't think of anything. Mei then smiled and said "Kana you care about him because he is a kid. You would have acted the same if it was any other kid as well. I have seen many people lose their rational thinking because of anger and despair and so I am telling you to stop this." Mei's tone became serious at the end which made Kana look at her.
Mei continued as she said "In this world who are strong kill those who are weak. It is a very simple rule. When the God of Shinobi Hashirama Senju was alive, all villages were quiet and didn't even dare to look at the hidden leaf but when he died, all the villages repeatedly tried to exploit the hidden leaf in many ways than one."
Kana understood what her sister was trying to tell her. She realized that even if it was any other kid from the land of forest, she would feel the same care for the kid. Kana looked at Mei and said "Sister Mei then I will become strong so that no one can hurt those who I care for.
