All the residents of Arakawa nodded in understanding. But for a moment they wanted to walk into the cave, suddenly the cave shook quite loudly.
"Everybody back! " The Shogun's orders.
The residents of Arakawa who had wanted to go straight out again the cave, they immediately took refuge behind the trees.
The Shogun also sent his Shu to check inside the cave.
******
Inside the forest, the soldiers had already finished taking out all the corpses of the dead soldiers. Now they just need to bring the bodies back to the base.
"It's finally over, too, Izumi... " Say Arata while wiping his sweat.
"Yes... " Izumi replied doubtfully.
"Why Izumi? Is something wrong? " Tanya Arata who was confused by Izumi's doubtful answer.
"I feel like I'm saying this isn't over. " Answer Izumi.
"Whatchu mean? Is there going to be trouble again? " Tanya Arata was surprised to hear Izumi's reply.
"Looks yes... "
The soldiers who heard the conversation were also surprised, the soldiers immediately stared at each other like they were signaling something bad would happen.
While the soldier who was looking for the Shogun finally found the Shogun's trail, he found the Shogun's horse on the edge of the cliff, he immediately suspected that the Shogun was in trouble
The soldier returned to the forest to tell Arata and Izumi.
Arata, Izumi, and the soldiers heard the sound of footsteps far away in front of them. They all immediately put up a standby position, Arata and Izumi advanced the front.
"Everything stays in position!" Shouted Arata
"No one attacks until I command! " Shouted Izumi.
"Ready Sir! " Reply answer the soldiers.
They saw someone riding a horse and headed to their place. They all became very alert, after hearing Izumi and Arata's conversation earlier, because usually the premonition from Izumi was always right.
"It's all me! It´s me! " Shouted the person riding the horse while waving his hand.
They were all shocked to hear the man's scream.
"Who are you?! " Tanya Arata's.
"I found Shogun-sama! But it looks like he's in trouble! "
Hearing the Shogun's name convinced the soldiers that the person was not their enemy, they unconsciously loosened their alert position.
However, not with Izumi and Arata did they both maintain their standby positions, and would not trust that person before knowing about it.
As the person got closer to them, Izumi and Arata recognized him immediately.
"Arata, that man is the army we told to go to the Shogun. " Said Izumi.
"Yes, you're right, Izumi. Then his words about Shogun-sama in danger are true! " Reply Arata.
The two of them quickly rode their horses and went towards the person. The soldiers were surprised to see, they also immediately followed Arata and Izumi with their horses.
*Woi, quickly lead us to the Shogun's place! " Shouted Izumi.
The soldier immediately turned his horse back and led Arata, Izumi, and the soldiers to where he found the Shogun's horse.
******
As soon as they reached the edge of the cliff, Izumi and Arata were looking at the Shogun's horse while the troops were looking for the Shogun around the cliff.
"Arata, is it possible that Shogun-sama fell into the river below? " Tanya Izumi was worried.
"Hmmm...Yes, it is possible, but Shogun-sama will definitely go back up again. " An Arata answered looking down at the river below.
"Or maybe... "
"Or maybe what is Izumi? " Tanya Arata cut Izumi off immediately.
"I thought that Shogun-sama accidentally fell into that river, but...
"Whatchu mean? Why would Shogun-sama accidentally drop himself into the river? "Ask Arata who again cut off Izumi's speech.
"Sorry, I-I'm just too excited..."
"I mean it wasn't a fall. More precisely Shogun-sama went down to the river, maybe he was chasing someone to bring the river. " Said Izumi while pointing towards the river below.
"How do you think? " Submit Izumi.
Arata silently did not respond to the words of Izumi. Izumi was upset when he explained at length, but Arata was silent as if he did not care.
"Oi... Stupid, now you can talk. " Say Izumi while patting Arata on the head.
"Ouch... Why did you hit me? "
"Because you're stupid! "
"Ehhh... How come you're angry? " Said Arata who was confused by the nature of his friend.
"That's it. If I think we just go downstairs! " An Arata replied while directly jumping into the river below.
Sontak Arata who was nearby was very surprised, he immediately reflexively wanted to hold Arata's hand, but did not have time for Arata to fall down the river.
Stupidly the soldiers also followed Arata jumping into the river below.
"Why am I always with fools... " Said Izumi who was upset and frustrated.
They all landed safely under the river water, but some of them were almost carried away by the river's strong currents. Fortunately, they all held each other's hands.
"Woi! Are you all okay? " Tanya Izumi who is still on the cliff.
"Of course we're fine! You better hurry up and jump down here Izumi! " An Arata replied in a loud voice.
I will not pass through the edge of this cliff alone "Izumi replied.
"It's gonna take a long time! If you want to save Shogun-sama quickly you better jump! " Shouted Arata who kept forcing Izumi to jump.
"ALRIGHT! " Reply Izumi who immediately jumped down, he was very upset listening to the screams from Arata which were very noisy.
"Hahaha, finally want you! "
"Whisper! Now what should we do? " Task Izumi to Arata.
"Well? Why ask me? You're not the one with the plan. " An Arata replied, asking back.
Izumi immediately looked very upset at Arata, he was not out of thought with Arata who always did reckless things like this without having any plans.
"Surely later we will get the plan, Izumi. The important thing now is that we have to go up to this cliff wall first. " Said Arata who was frightened to see Izumi's gaze. He also climbed the cliff wall in front of him.
"Look this way, Izumi. " Said Arata who tried to comfort Izumi.
When he wanted to move to the next wall, suddenly his hand went through the wall and he was sucked into it.
"ARATA-SAN! "Shouted all of them who were very surprised to see the incident.
Without a second thought the panicked Izumi immediately chased after Arata, as did the soldiers.
Their arrival was very excited to make the old cave become vibrating quite fast.
The shogun who felt Ki's aura that was not foreign, immediately entered again into the cave and came to the aura of Ki.
"Dam! What are you doing here! " Shouted the Shogun who was happy to see his soldiers.
"Hhhhh, Shogun-sama?! " Reply shouted the soldier who was surprised and also happy.
The Shogun approached them and hugged his soldiers.
"You're okay, aren't you, Shogun-sama? "
"We've been looking for you since, Shogun-sama. "
Said the soldiers who were very happy and moved to meet the Shogun, even though they only parted for a few hours with the Shogun.
"Thank God you're fine, Shogun-sama." Said Izumi and Arata while hugging the Shogun tightly.
"Hahaha, I'm fine. You guys must be tired, right? Come on, come on, I'll take you to the rest area. "
Without asking much questions they followed the Shogun. The Shogun escorted them to meet the Arakawa people outside the cave.
