Hayato Sarutobi

 

Hayato kept his composure in check, he personally listened to Sup Pung comment about how she had extra bags and scrolls to stock up on these supplies. A great things to know as Hayato continued to shave the bark off the trees. Hayato wasn’t as skilled as Munashi and Sup Pung when it came to wild life and how to extract the plants successfully. But in terms of being someone to protect them, he could possibly fall in that category as his strength was phenomenal compared to his younger days. He noticed how Sup Pung got comfortable with Munashi and slapped her on the rear end. The reaction Munashi gave caused Hayato to chuckle as he kind of expected that reaction to come around eventually. Though he let them talk that issue out as right now Hayato was focused on the task at hand. He then heard Sup Pung talk as she commented how it was a pity since she wouldn’t see the trees she enjoyed watching blossom. But this was the cold hard reality they lived on, she then confirmed that it was exactly like winter except there was heat within the area.



Hayato easily responded “Indeed.” Then the rumbling happened which caused Sup Pung and Hayato himself to take guard and begin sensing the area out. Though as they made their attempt to sense people out, this was their mistake, there wasn’t a single soul within the dying forest around them at this moment. Hayato then heard Munashi comment about how it could have been from underground. Hayato nodded with a sly smirk and said “You might be right there, my first assumption was a bandit/rogue ninja using earth release.” He then heard Sup Pung comment if he had sensed anything '''“Nothing, so I am going to agree with Munashi that it’s underground. We need to tread carefully through the forest, we have no idea what’s down below.” '''Hayato would finish up his task and walked over to Sup Pung to give her all the bark he had collected. About 30-45 mins passed by with them collecting enough bark, about 2 bags on Hayato’s end would be filled before he decided to head out. Since Hayato filled two bags, who knew how much Munashi and Sup Pung had collected since they were more experienced than he was at this.



That being taken care of, Hayato easily followed to say “Alright, let’s move out and find the next place to harvest.” Hayato then prepared himself to leave as he followed and took lead to take them to the next location marked on the map provided. About 20-30 mins travelling to the new location, the ground itself began to shake again, this time the shake was much more violent than before. Hayato himself grew worried as he wanted to tell them to leap onto the branches, but that was a bad idea, the point was to move faster and get out of this area’s range. Hayato easily said “HAUL ASS SOMETHING IS COMIN-“Then from the corner of his peripherals he noticed something that caught his attention. His body took an actual pause as he ordered to haul ass to the others. Sup Pung and Munashi would easily notice this reaction on Hayato’s end as he was mesmerized it seemed. Out of sheer emotion Hayato’s body reacted on his own, was this a hallucination? He literally saw Ayame from the corner of his eyes, his heart skipping a beat to the actual thought. Mind games were being played on him, ever since he started losing friends and loved ones, Hayato had started to hallucinate them or think of them within his dreams which triggered nightmares most of the time.



Hayato literally began to sweat to this as he dashed in a different location from where Munashi and Sup Pung would more than likely go. They would easily be able to tell something was wrong with Hayato as he was completely focused before. The fact that he stopped mid-sentence and took off in another direction gave that impression easily. His mind was literally racing, his emotions talking for him as he said “That had to be Ayame, I saw her, and maybe her death was a cruel joke…” He continued to feed himself lies as he didn’t know what else to believe at this point. Worst part being what Hayato was seeing wasn’t real at all, it was his own mind playing tricks on him. The sound of another person’s voice became more evident as well, the voice easily saying '''“How does it feel to be all alone in this rotting world Hayato? Does it feel good to live on your own with no one to call a friend? You MUST feel guilty for killing me don’t you?” '''Hayato’s eyes expanded as the voice was familiar, it was Deucalion’s the person he killed for stealing his inheritance. They were actual friends if not rivals, but the hatred got the best of Hayato which caused his next move. Hayato thought about it for a second as he began to talk to himself “This can’t be real… It just can’t be… I thought I killed you?” His mind was going blank as Hayato didn’t even notice he was running aimlessly. This would continue to happen as Hayato’s mind was being penetrated by the darkness he had suppressed for years.



Hayato was a killer inside, but at this moment his mind was being shattered into a million pieces. If anything Hayato had never been more vulnerable than now. But that was beside the point, the biggest problem was Hayato LEFT Munashi and Sup Pung to chase down a mere illusion he noticed. Hayato did call out loud “AYAME WAIT!” If anyone listened carefully they would have been able to hear that call and assume what was going on in a sense. But that didn’t erase the ground shaking recently, when Hayato took off and was running in another direction, from below a giant demon earthworm would fly outwards from below and blocked the path in which Hayato had taken off. The earthworm being about the size of 3 large buildings from Konoha, the size was truly something that couldn’t be mistaken as this proved that the demons had truly passed through the gates and started infiltrating the world where Shinobi’s lived. The giant earthworm upon revealing itself from coming out of the ground, proceeded to shove his head downwards in the direction where Munashi and Sup Pung would be expected to be. Its razor sharp teeth moving ahead first to attempt and devour them. The movements were linear, but its surprise was something to actually consider terrifying to an extent. A simple linear attack would be attempted on them, how would Munashi and Sup Pung respond to this? Had they been captured by the worm, its teeth would shred their skin and easily create large gashes upon their body. How would they both react to all the events going on as Hayato running in another direction was completely unexpected? At this point, things seemed to be making a darker turn.
