The door opened and from it came out a girl with blood all over her body. Behind her was a body which was lying in a pool of blood. This was the fat merchant who was killed by her.
Her eyes were completely devoid of any emotions currently, only a cold and calculating gaze was lingering on her face.
"Troublesome..." She let out a sigh and then with a puff of smoke she disappeared.

[Shika POV]
I almost jolted from my place as memories of torture and blood came to me.
"Huff huff..." It wasn't just torture and blood but also confinement and boredom which assaulted me.
"Knew it, something is fishy..." I can't help but let out a sigh, finding the situation troublesome.
After knowing that the girl was a Kunoichi and was earlier in Konoha, I just couldn't let it go unnoticed. So I created a Shadow Clone and made it turn into the girl and let my other shadow clone take her pretending in from of the fat merchant that I got her the girl he wanted.
In reality, I never came in contact with the girl period.
And it's a good thing that my Nara instincts kicked in right time and did so becuase it turned out that this girl was actually inside Konoha and the Merchant was tasked to kidnap her out of the village.
My clone resorted to torturing the fat guy when he showed his real colours. Trying to assault her, sigh...
If it wasn't a clone or a kunoiche then I could only think what might have happened to that poor girl.
The Merchant got what he deserved, I tortured him until I extracted all the information I needed before killing him. And of course, I looted all his money, I mean why not.
Anyways, back to the real me. Now knowing that this girl is SUS AF... my decision to follow her was right.
The merchant was given money to kidnap her out of Konoha. To my best guess, I believe that it was someone working with the girl to take her outside of the village.
This way they could draw the minimum amount of attention towards her.
I don't even know how a Kunoiche was able to get inside the village without others knowing.
There are spies for sure, but Konoha has an advantage in this regard, the sensory barrier of the village, the curtsy of Uzumaki clan Fuinjutsu, can distinguish new chakra really well. So even if they can't find out whether someone is a spy or not but the village sensory team can easily find any new chakra entering the village.
The only exceptions to this are civilians.
In this world, everyone has chakra but only trained shinobi can use it and have noticeably higher levels of chakra spikes than a civilian because of their training.
Anything close to a normal civilian level of chakra and the sensory barrier is useless. This information is mostly a secret but being a member of the Nara clan has some perks.
She is not a Civillain, that's for sure, however, I don't see much chakra in her either. Maybe she fell into the grey area in the sensory range or she might have come to Konoha when her chakra coils were not developed?
Honestly, I have no idea. However, how she pulled it off wasn't important right now. What was important was her intentions.
Why she is leaving the village now? If she is leaving means that she has gotten what she was looking for. Did she steal some village's secrets?
Another thing which didn't make sense to me was If she was pretending to be a civillain then can't she just walk out of the main gate like any other normal person?
Why make this extravagant plan in the first place?
Honestly, there were too many questions right now in my mind but zero answers. I had two thoughts about intersecting her in and getting her intention out of her but that won’t do either.
That’s way I most likely won’t get to the person who is helping her from outside. Seeing that she was still going towards the capital, it became even more important that I find out who was responsible for putting a spy in Konoha.
And thus I didn’t disturb her and just followed her till we reached the place.
Turn out that she was moving towards the capital but her destination wasn’t exactly the captain of the Land Of Fire.
She was actually going beyond that. With her speed, it took two days and that was the exact time I got the memories of my clone.
And it turned out that my idea was right, trailing her was the right decision.
The timing was right since she seemed to come to her destination.
Soon I saw her slowing down and waiting near an outpost near the border of the land of fire.
It was a completely open area but thanks to it being night, I was able to hide inside shadows.
Waiting for all this time surely rewarded me, soon I saw someone coming to this almost isolated place.
Now it was only her and that person there.
“Hmm, I need to get closer if I want to learn what they are talking about…” I muttered seeing how much distance was between us. So with that said I entered into the shadow and got closer.
If only there was a Shikigami who could transmit voice to me. Maybe I could use a transmitter in one of my Shikigami for this purpose next time. I mused and got closer.
Thanks to Hinata, I have learned that even someone with Bayakugan has a hard time finding me when I’m inside shadows if they don’t specifically have their eyes active.
However, I Immediately regretted going closer.
“Ah, not so fast, Ahmmm… “
“Inside, I want it inside…”
