The Kitsune Demon

Chapter 26 - Killing the grunts

Hinata and Naruto were slouched over in exhaustion from there fight that had taken all of their strength. Both of them had gotten a grasp of the power that sage mode granted them, but they only scratched the surface. Slowly getting to his feet Naruto walked over to Hinata offering his hand to help her up.

" Well, that was quite the spectacle but you need to rest tomorrow you will face your first real life or death fight. " Yua announcement brought a cill to the air. The group walked back to the cave the time was filled with Yua and Xua pointing out were Hinata and Naruto could improve. The next day Yua brought them out of the cavern, into the forest, after walking for a while Naruto started to recognize their location. It was close to the place detailed in the book he found in the manor. Soon after Naruto realized where they were Yua called for them to stop, " You probably realized where we are by now. Somewhere nearby is a bandit camp containing twenty rouge shinobi, your task is to loot the camp whether you kill anyone or not is up to you "

With those last words, Yua wandered back into the forest leaving the two children to face against a bandit camp.

Naruto looked over his shoulder at Hinata, " How should we handle this, Yua said that our objective was to loot the camp so should we try to sneak in or kill everyone in the camp "

" With your eye ability, it would be easy for you to find where they store their valuables steal them, and then leave. But where the fun in that " Naruto grinned at Hinatas response, without any more preamble Hinata and Naruto set off heading in the direction Naruto remembered where the book said the camp was. With their speed, they ate up the distance between them and the camp in five minutes both Naruto and Hinata started to notice signs that people were nearby.

Naruto and Hinata came to a stop in the trees looking down at the bandit camp, the camp was comprised of six tents the last one being of a higher quality than the rest and a storage hut with two guards posted at the door. The tents were set up in a circle surrounding a bonfire, the space between the tents and the fire was crowded with rough-looking men of all statures. From the large tent, a huge giant of a man emerged wearing a black sleeveless shirt with brow pants that were frayed at the cuffs. His most defining feature was the large scar the bisected his face, the men in the camp turned when they caught sight of their leader. Then he began to talk, " As most of you know I have been in contact with an anonymous party, they have informed me that if we capture anyone the Uchiha clan they will pay a large sum, al-"

His speech was interrupted when projectiles started to rain down on the camp emitting a dense cloud of smoke in impact. " We're under att- " the cry was cut short as the man's throat was sliced by a sword Naruto and Hinata move in and out of the smoke using their chakra to sense the location of the bandits. With quick efficiency Naruto and Hinata went about dwindling the bandit's numbers not sustaining a scratch, their small frames combined with the smoke made it near impossible for the bandits to hit them. However, their cover was destroyed by a bandit who used a wind jutsu to clear the smoke. Hinata and Naruto and the bodies of the men they had killed were revealed as eyes widened in shock as they realized that it was children responsible for the death of their comrades.

Unlike the bandits, Hinata and Naruto continued to move managing to kill one bandit each. Then it turned into an all-out brawl, Naruto used his wood release to preoccupied the bandits while Hinata moved through them like a shadow her palms glowing with chakra. When her palms connected the bandits would fall like a puppet without strings, the chakra outlining her hands is actually thousands of needles that affect the nervous system of whatever they strike. Soon the only person left was the leader of the bandit who looked on not fazed by the killing of his men.
