I quickly used a shadow clone, the clone then used transformation jutsu to turn a couple of inches taller than me, had face mask similar to kakas.h.i.+ and wore a konoha headband with a slash mark on it. The clone wore the standard konoha jounin jacket with the spiral symbol on back and everything.

The clone also wore pants with the kunai pocket being on the left. His hair color was light red with hints of white showing signs of old age. Which was unusual as he did not look that old.

All in all it made his appearance very confusing. For the next step I transformed my self into a kunai and got ready throw it at the enemy who was closest to the road I was treading on.

A voice then yelled "Attack" which made 13 people lunge at my clone, 4 chakra signatures more than the original 9, this may be the result of my inexperience that I miscalculated or because the level or proficiency of the skill not good. None of the excuses I thought up would do me any good with these people anyway.

The clone threw me at the enemy whom skillfully dodged with ease. I did not really care about the clone winning or losing since I knew for sure if I fought even with one of these people it would be the end of me.

I am not even sure if I can buy enough time for me to escape with this decoy strategy. I suddenly ran out of chakra and fell hard onto the ground. I got back up as fast as I could and started to walk as fast as I could with all of my remaining strength. I do not know why I want to go back home nor did I question the instincts that told me so.

I felt as if everything would go back to the way it was if I could just go home, recover from my wounds without letting my parents see them and finally enjoying my life. I made a resolve that if I go back I will try my best to fulfill all their requests and be a great older sibling if I ever get any younger brothers or sisters. Maybe even find a love of my own and get married. Drop the ninja lifestyle and just be a normal man, screw the system.
