"Oh he's right, hahaha," said Gojo, laughing and looking at the kid that just helped him without him even knowing it before making one hand sign and disappearing from there using the body flicker jutsu.
Right now gojo was running back to the camp at a speed much faster than before, but if one was really perceptive they would notice that he was really relaxed.
Gojo wasn't really that famous in his clan or around in the other clans but he wasn't a nobody either, he was a decently strong shinobi, and by the future ranking systems he would be classed as a top S-ranked jounin close to a kage.
(AN: some would say how can he be average when he's that strong, but remember, as I mentioned before warring States period shinobi are massively stronger than naruto era shinobi)
But what nobody knows is that it's not his real level of power, he had been keeping a low profile and hiding his real level of power for as long as he can remember, and rarely ever revealing it, only times he did where when he was sure nobody would find out.
Before long he was back at the clan headquarters looking at it and hiding in between the trees, strangely though nobody seemed to notice him.
Looking at the encampment from afar he sat down on a tree bench like a chair with his legs hanging waiting, and as he sat there he couldn't help but think, 'i didn't notice before but that child aizen is really interesting, he noticed the trap laid out for us even though nobody else did, including me.' he thought seemingly confident that aizen doubt was true.
Looking at the upper left of his field of vision for a while he seemed to be staring at the sky before he suddenly snapped out of it, his eyes turning serious.
Looking east to his right he made a hand sign and disappeared from his position.
****************
200 km(124mi) East of the Sōsuke clan camp an army of shinobi consisting of about 500 members was speeding forward in the direction of the Sōsuke clan.
In the lead were 1 old man and two middle-aged men leading the army.
"Our plan should have worked," said one of the middle-aged men, "most of the troops stationed at the camp and around it should be very far by now trying to set a blockade for us not knowing that that's exactly what we want them to do."
"Yes, they should think there is only a small squad of us because that's what we showed the man that we let get away." The other middle-aged man said, then continued, "this little bit of false information would be their downfall, their forces should now be spread thinly on multiple locations preparing to ambush a small squad, little do they know it's a small army instead, it'll be easy to kill everyone on the camp and fight our way back before reinforcements even catch wind of it. "
"True, when this battlefront defence breaks we're grunted to take over this part of the land, after that our troops will be free to go and support other battlefields, it'll increase the chances of us winning this war exponentially, therefore this is an extremely important mission to win this war." said the old man at the lead.
"But, don't let your guard down, underestimating the enemy is the worst mistake you could ever make, move along with the mentality that they are already on to us and are laying a trap in wait, understood? " said the middle-aged man again.
"Yes sir" the two middle-aged men replied simultaneously.
Just as they said that they heard a loud clapping sound followed by a voice, "Wisdom truly does come with age doesn't it." Everyone's expressions turned grave as they stopped and looked around.
The voice seemed to be talking to them and himself at the same time but they couldn't pinpoint where it was coming from, it seemed to be coming from everywhere at the same time.
"SENSORS" shouted the old man.
"Yes sir," a group of 5 people said at the same time and placed their hands on the ground preparing to find the location of the mysterious person.
"There is no need." again they heard the voice, but this time it came from in front of them, the ground split apart as a middle-aged man with black hair, blue eyes and a fairly built body came out from underneath, it was gojo, as he was fully out the ground returned to its previous shape.
Seeing him, the eyes of the three leading men turned as sharp as a needle, they all thought the same thing, 'black hair! blue eyes! plus hiding like a mole jutsu, a sōsuke clan member!!!, we've been discovered.'
The old man was the first to react; he didn't even pay any attention to the man in front of him and started looking around, searching for their enemies.
The other two did the same, to them one man wasn't that much of a threat, even if he was wrapped in explosive tags and planning to take them with him at their level they had dozens of ways to take care of him, what they were worried about is if they were surrounded.
Seeing them acting like that gojo could only shake his head helplessly and say, "you don't need to worry, there is no one else besides me here."
Hearing him one of the middle-aged men's eyes turned murderous, but just as he was going to rush at him and finish him the old man shouted stopping him.
"WAIT".
"commander!?" questioned the middle-aged man.
The old man who is now known as the commander didn't reply, he just stared straight at gojo and said, "since you discovered us and didn't report back to your clan and came alone, then am I right to assume that you're betraying your clan?"
Hearing him, all the others seemed to come to a realization.
'of course, as expected of the commander, he saw right through him, why else would he come here alone and show himself, it's tantamount to suicide, he must have realized they were doomed to lose and decided to side with us instead to save his skin' was what they all thought, it was the only explication they could think of.
Immediately they were relieved but they couldn't help but look back at gojo with a hint of disdain and disgust, even if he sided with them no one likes a coward and a traitor, they may tolerate him for the information he may give them but they will never accept him.
