Slaughtering the Bandits in an Instant

"Quickly, quickly surround these carriages and people!"

Soon the bandits rushed forward and surrounded the caravan.

"Hey, you guys, what's in that carriage?" a bandit leader shouted at Tianqi and Sen'u. He didn't ask anyone else, because these two looked like the leaders.

"Hmph! What does it matter to you what we are? Don't you know we're the supply transport unit for Konoha? You dare to rob us? Don't you want to die?" Sen'u sneered and frowned.

"Konoha? Heh, others may be afraid of your Konoha, but we aren't. Our leader said that your Konoha ninjas aren't that strong at all; he could easily crush you!" The bandit leader said with a look of disdain.

"Heh, so he really has a powerful backer. But this backer seems to have some mental issues. Konoha is full of talented people at this time. There's no one who can claim to be able to easily defeat all of them. It seems this backer is just bragging. What a boring big talker. After listening to the bandit leader's words, Tianqi immediately lost interest."

"Not that strong? You think you can beat us? Hahahaha... This is the biggest joke I've heard in years!" Sen'u laughed loudly upon hearing this, glancing at his father for clarification. Seeing his father nod, Sen'u suddenly revealed a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"What's so funny? You're all surrounded now, so hurry up and tell us what supplies are in here, or we'll have to take action!" the bandit leader said impatiently.

"This contains all sorts of weapons and food, but I'm afraid you won't be able to take it!" Sen'u said, pulling out a Kunai.

"Oh, you want to fight? Who's afraid of you!" The bandit immediately drew a samurai sword, ready to challenge Sen'u to a duel.

"Damn it!" Tianqi instantly stepped forward and beheaded the leader of the bandits.

"Father, what are you doing?" Sen'u looked at the bandit whose head had been severed by her father in an instant, her face full of confusion.

"This idiot has been completely fooled, yet he acts like he's so strong. It's infuriating. If he doesn't deserve to die, who does?" Tianqi flicked the blood off his hands.

Seeing their leader killed, the other bandits couldn't help but take a few steps back, but they did not retreat because they had a numerical advantage.

"Kill them! Avenge our leader!"

"Revenge is ours!"

One bandit shouted, and the others shouted in response. They then attacked with their long knives in hand.

"Hmph! You dare to attack and court death!" Sen'u's face darkened. He used the Kunai Body Flicker Technique to quickly weave through the bandit group. With each swing of the Kunai, a bandit was taken away.

Under the Genin efforts of Sen'u and a group of Konoha genin, the bandits were quickly wiped out. Only one person remained in Tianqi's hands; he needed to find their backer, so he couldn't kill them all.

"Nuo Sen'u, take this guy and find the person behind them. Kill that foolish backer. It'll be a good deed for the people around here!" Tianqi threw the bandit in his hand in front of Sen'u.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!" the little bandit shouted, kneeling and begging for mercy.

Seeing the cowardly bandit, Sen'u ignored him and instead hesitated before looking at her father. "Father, finding these bandits' backers is such a waste of time. Why don't we just give up? The people at the front are waiting for us to deliver supplies. What do you think...?"

"It's alright. I'll lead the team forward. You just need to find that so-called backer. At your speed, you should be able to catch up with us quickly. Besides, having this little bandit lead the way will make finding him much faster!" Tianqi said calmly.

"Well... alright then!" Sen'u picked up the little bandit and left. She really didn't understand why her father was so persistent about the bandit's den. Wasn't this just a waste of time? Really!

Tianqi then continued leading the wagon caravan forward, this time to deliver three months' worth of supplies. It must be said that Konoha was prepared for a protracted war, and Konoha's decision this time was correct; this Third Shinobi World War was indeed going to last quite a while.

"I thought it would be fun, but it's just a bunch of bragging bandit leaders. It's so boring. I shouldn't have come with the convoy to escort the supplies!" Tianqi shook his head with a wry smile. He was just saying it casually. He was actually quite happy to travel with Sen'u, since they didn't have much time left together.

After traveling for half a day, it was getting dark, so Tianqi stopped the team's advance and rested on the spot. Anyway, the situation at the front was not particularly urgent, and there was no need to continue traveling even after dark.

"What's Sen'u up to? He hasn't come back for so long. It shouldn't take this long to deal with a boastful braggart, right? Did something happen to him?" Tianqi was a little worried as Sen'u hadn't returned for a while.

"Tianqi, don't worry, have something to eat first. With Sen'u's strength, nothing will happen to you!" An old Genin came to Tianqi's side with a freshly roasted chicken.

"I know he's very strong, but the Shinobi World is full of unexpected events, and who wouldn't worry about their child?" Tianqi said calmly as he took the roast chicken.

"Indeed, accidents happen all over the Shinobi World, especially during times of war. But you're saying that Lord Sen'u is your child? Is that true?" The Genin looked at Tianqi with some doubt, finding it hard to believe that Sen'u was Tianqi's child.

"Of course it's true, don't we look alike?" Tianqi said, touching his face.

"Uh... well, it's not that you don't look like him, it's just that you're so young. You don't look like Sen'u's father at all, but more like his brother!" The Genin hesitated for a moment before finally speaking his mind.

"Is that so? Hahaha, maybe it's because I look younger. After all, I'm only thirty-eight years old, and I still have two years until I'm forty!" After talking with the Genin, Tianqi's worries lessened a lot. As for his youth, he didn't explain much, since it involved the secret of White Zetsu, and it was best not to mention White Zetsu right now.

"Thirty-eight? You really don't look like you're twenty-five!" The Genin was also incredibly shocked to hear Tianqi's age. People in the Shinobi World generally have very short lifespans, perhaps due to excessive use of their physical energy. Ninjas over thirty years old almost always have wrinkles on their faces. How could someone be as young as Tianqi?

"Hehe, I have some special reasons for being so young. By the way, how old are you?" Tianqi asked with a slight smile.
