>>5795294>>5795305>>5795314>>5795325>>5795330>>5795352>>5795382>-1 Will of Fire, you have 2."Carry me if you have to." You announce as the three of you burst out of the academy.
Naoki takes off like a bat out of hell before looking over his shoulder, assessing what speed you're capable of, and slowing down to get behind you and match your pace in case he needs to scoop you up at some point. You and him both were pretty confident in his strength, but showing up to the meeting with you slung over his shoulder or in a humiliating princess carry would be a bad look for the team unless absolutely necessary.
Masami is faster than you, slower than Naoki. She stays in the front, choosing a route that's doable for you without any fancy vaults or tricks. If you tripped or botched some acrobatic wall-kick ninja jump it could spell disaster.
That being said, you were making decent time. Your will to not let down your teammates gave you the stubbornness to dig deeper than you normally would have: You rely on your stamina to pump your legs as fast as you possibly could. You had enough stamina to run all day without being out of breath, but not when you were moving consistently at literally maximum speed for a prolonged period of time. You'd still probably arrive only slightly out of breath, owing to the fact that no matter how much of your endurance you spent there was still a maximum amount of output you could really access, which still didn't tax your reserves too much.
You check a clock in someone's window as you zoom by. At this rate you'd make it with around 20 seconds to spare, which was pretty good. Assuming you didn't run into any complications.
You run into complications.
As you're dashing through a specific street crowded with market stalls, about 3/4ths of the way there, you hear a loud yell.
"HEY, SOMEONE STOP THAT KID! THIEF!"
Crime was on the rise in the village because of the annihilation of the Uchiha clan, and therefore the vast majority of its police force. Lord Third was reorganizing things to fill in the gaps, but Konoha's forces were stretched thin. Things hadn't found a stable equilibrium yet.
Your new headband weighs heavily on your brow.
>Stop the kid yourself.>"Naoki, get him.">"Masami.">Not our problem.>Write in.>If you do take him down, how? What are you going to do with him? The police force is nonexistent right now, are you going to just drop him and leave him, take him with you, or what? Your teammates will do whatever they want if you send one of them.>1d100, 1d100+10 WoF. If you choose not to do anything I'll ignore the roll, your teammates will use your dice (Without WoF) if you tell them to do it.
