Chapter 15: Unknown Pursuers
It was already dark when Zhao Yun and Coach arrived at the Kaishi Woods¹. They decided to rest near the edge of the woods. Coach parked the cart and let the horse rest.
"This should be the last mushroom bag I have," Zhao Yun announced as he took out a large rucksack. He started eating as soon as he opened the rucksack.
*Ding**Ding**Ding*
"Wow, you really managed to finish five large rucksacks of mushroom," Coach was impressed then he took a piece of mushroom.
"We should eat right now since we might get some trouble later on," Zhao Yun said
*Ding**Ding**Ding*
"What do you mean?" Coach became nervous
*Ding**Ding**Ding*
"Before we left the town, someone was tailing us. I don`t know if they pursued us up here since it`s already dark but we need to be cautious. Just to be safe," Zhao Yun mumbled.
*Ding**Ding**Ding*
"What? why are you telling this to me just now?! we should go right now!" Coach exclaimed
"But the horse is already exhausted, we can`t continue further," Zhao Yun glanced towards the horse.
*Ding**Ding**Ding*
"Leave the horse, just take the bags on the cart and put in in your storage then we`ll go," Coach instructed.
"Wait for a minute Coach, just finishing my meal," Zhao Yun was feasting on the mushrooms. The mushrooms didn`t even last for ten seconds and were instantly devoured. Zhao Yun learned a quick trick to easily finish a mushroom. He puts a whole mushroom inside his mouth and covers it whole with his saliva by spinning it around his mouth with the help of his tongue. This way, he can easily soften the mushroom and eat it without choking.
*Ding**Ding**Ding*
"Zhao Yun! Why aren`t you hurrying?" Coach was starting to panic
"Calm down Coach, didn`t I told you, I don`t even know if they completely followed us here. And if they did follow us here, we aren`t sure if they`re an enemy or just a fan of mine you know? And if they are indeed an enemy, how can we outrun them when our stomach is empty, right? So you shouldn`t panic," Zhao Yun stated.
*Ding**Ding**Ding*
"Sigh, why are you the one who`s so calm and mature in this kind of situation when you`re supposed to be younger than me," Coach remarked as he sat down and started eating as well. It didn`t even take them ten minutes to finish the bag of mushrooms.
*Ding**Ding**Ding**Ding**Ding**Ding*
Zhao Yun quickly opened his status window and looked at it. "Hmm, let`s see... I have 21 exp points right now. I`ll put it all in agility, just in case we really need to run for it," Zhao Yun thought as he spends all of his exp points on agility.
*Ding* You have learned the skill "Water Dash". Description; this skill enables you to run through water.
*Ding* Don`t even think about walking, you aren`t J*sus.
"Oh? so you decided to show up, shitty system? How about you decide to make yourself useful as well? You`re supposed to provide me information regarding this world so I wouldn`t be like I am right now. Clueless!" Zhao Yun snap back at the system
*Ding* Well, I`m clueless about this world as well. No data about this world was installed to me, so tough luck.
"Wow, clueless? might as well call yourself useless," Zhao Yun mocked. "Forget the system. First I`ve got the paper bombs, now this skill... should I look at the shop for a cloning skill and buy it? hehehe, I might as well go and tame a fox," Zhao Yun thought.
In the distance, several unidentifiable silhouette started popping out, Coach quickly saw them and got nervous, "Uhhh, Zhao Yun, they`re here. Can we run now?" Coach said nervously.
"Oh sh*t, let`s go," Zhao Yun muttered, then he immediately stood up and run towards the cart. He stored the rucksacks inside his storage and head straight to the woods along with Coach.
----------
-Before Zhao Yun and Coach left the town-
"So they`re leaving? wait, this path... why are they heading towards kaishi forest? there`s no village beyond there, what are they gonna do there? the only known place there is the Shen Ron mountain... what`s going on? Don`t tell me they`re from the Forbidden territory? Ahhh, how should I proceed with these? There`s no information regarding the Forbidden territory so if they are indeed from that place then shouldn`t I follow them?," a man was talking in his mind. He was hiding in the shadows carefully stalking Zhao Yun.
Suddenly a cry for help echoed near the alley, the cry was loud, loud enough for the people on the street to hear it but no one even bothered stopping to check where the cries came from.
"This town really has a problem, not even one person stopped to help. *Sigh*," the man mumbled as he vanished in the shadows.
----------
In another secret place, a person was sitting in a huge chair placed in the middle of a dark room. A muscular man arrived and quickly kneeled in front of him.
"Boss! The targets are leaving the town, what do we do?" a muscular man asked his eyes on the ground, as if afraid to look at the man sitting at the chair.
"Chase them down and capture them. Remember, I want them alive," The boss specified
"Yes boss, I`ll be taking the men now," the muscle man stood up and saluted, then quickly left.
"2 years, for 2 years I was searching for you, this time I`ll be able to find you," the boss muttered.

Narutoooooo
Narutoooooo 1. This was the forest where Zhao Yun and Guan Yu met in the earlier chapters, I just gave it a name.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I`ll be adding the description of the newly learned skill since I`m too lazy to prolong it. For the title, I`ll be putting the name of it whenever Zhao Yun gets one so you should have some clue to the reason how Zhao Yun got it since the system doesn`t really provide the reason how he got it.
