At that moment, Uchiha Kō's Sharingan instantly manifested Three-Tomoe Sharingan, then Six-Tomoe Sharingan, and finally Round-Edged Six-Tomoe Sharingan.
The Genjutsu was unleashed, and the Rain Ninja opposite him froze in his action of opening the jar, his eyes showing a blank expression, standing there motionless.
Uchiha Kō breathed a sigh of relief, then took the poison jar with his right hand, used Susanoo to dig open the ground, buried the jar underground, and covered it with soil.
"Minato, finish him off." Uchiha Kō said as if he were talking about something very ordinary and commonplace, something that could be done casually.
Namikaze Minato nodded. At this moment, the Rain Ninja was under the control of Genjutsu. Although he could cut the neck with Kunai, Namikaze Minato would break free of the Genjutsu due to the pain.
So he unleashed Wind Release: Wind Dagger, disregarding the amount of Chakra, and used the wind-curved blades in his arms to decapitate the ninja from Amegakure.
Uchiha Kō smiled and nodded. "Alright, today I'm going to teach you a lesson: never show mercy to enemy ninjas. Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to your own people."
"Once you make a move, you have to go all out, and Minato did that very well."
In Uchiha Kō's eyes, Namikaze Minato's caution was what allowed him to survive on the battlefield.
The other five nodded, clearly remembering Uchiha Kō's words. Seeing this, Uchiha Kō nodded, flicked his right hand with the Blazing Heaven Fan, and flames shot out, burning the Rain Ninja on the ground to ashes.
The wind blew it away, Uchiha Kō laughed, "Let's continue on our way."
The group nodded and followed closely behind Uchiha Kō, moving slowly forward. They didn't seem to have any particular feeling about what had just happened.
Uchiha Kō then realized that his decision to have them deal with the death row inmates yesterday was the right one.
Two hours later, Uchiha Kō led the six children to a nearby village and met the village chief.
The village chief warmly welcomed them. During the meal, the village chief said, "Gentlemen, most of the bandits on Kemo Mountain are just idle hooligans from the surrounding area."
"Originally, their actions weren't this rampant, but then, for some reason, they suddenly organized all the bandits on the nearby mountains and began to plunder all the villages in the vicinity."
"They robbed a little every three days and a big one every five days, making it impossible for many families to survive. The village chiefs in the area finally decided that I would take the lead and hire the ninjas of Konoha to carry out a campaign against them."
"Besides the elderly, children, and able-bodied men, all the women and girls in the village were abducted and taken to the mountains, even my daughter..."
At this point, the old man's eyes were red from crying. He rose and knelt on the ground, pleading, "Please, sirs, help us rid ourselves of these scourges and rescue our wives and daughters!"
Uchiha Kō nodded. "Don't worry, sir. We'll help you resolve this matter, and this time, we won't charge you any reward."
Uchiha Kō's original intention was simply to broaden the horizons of these children and give them some training; as for the reward, that was secondary.
Besides, they're already in such a miserable state, and you still want money from them? They're villagers in the Land of Land of Fire, under the protection of Uchiha Kō, so you absolutely cannot accept money from them.
"This... this is the rule, the rule since ancient times, Grandpa Ninja, please don't refuse." The old man still took out a bag of silver.
Uchiha Kō pushed the silver back, saying, "I'm sorry you've suffered. Suppressing bandits is what Konoha should do. Money really doesn't matter."
"And don't let their youth fool you, these kids are all ninjas. They'll be more than capable of dealing with that bandit gang," Uchiha Kō chuckled.
The old man was in tears, nodding repeatedly, "Thank you, Ninja Master!" Uchiha Kō quickly helped the old man up and said, "You've eaten your fill, it's time for us to set off. I assure you before tonight, we will wipe out all the robbers, and your wives and daughters, if any, will be returned to you alive."
The old man thanked him tearfully, he never expected that the person he had offered the bounty for yesterday would arrive today!
If this matter had been taken seriously a few days earlier, it wouldn't have developed into this situation!
Uchiha Kō bid farewell to the old man and led the six children to Kemo Mountain. On the way, he said, "What information have you all obtained? Tell me."
"Those bandits are rampant, they're all scum, everyone should kill them!" Sarutobi Shinnosuke's eyes were filled with rage, his hand gripping an iron rod tightly, and a murderous aura emanated from his body.
Uchiha Kō nodded. "That's right. Anything else?"
Yamanaka Inoichi stroked his chin. "The old man just said that these bandits were originally just local thugs, but then suddenly they changed."
"I just can't understand what made them change so much, like they went from a group of scattered soldiers to a band of robbers who were like an army."
He presented the information he had gathered and asked questions. Uchiha Kō nodded. "Good, you've grasped the key points!"
Namikaze Minato looked up, his eyes lighting up. "A ninja has arrived from the enemy camp. No, not just one ninja, but also someone who seems to be a military commander."
"And the Rain Ninja we encountered on the road earlier... I suspect they were ninjas who couldn't survive in the Land of Rain."
Uchiha Kō nodded. "That's right, Minato! You're absolutely correct."
Uchiha Kō released his Soul Perception Technique and sensed from afar that there were three Amegakure ninjas on the mountaintop. The ninja sitting in the main seat was thin and small, with two tall Rain Village ninjas on his left and right sides.
It was obvious that the skinny ninja was the leader of these bandits, and the other two tall men were his guards or his subordinates!
Namikaze Minato was able to connect all these things, make a deduction, and accurately say that it was the Rain Ninja who was behind the disturbance, which made Uchiha Kō very happy.
"Minato's guess was absolutely correct. There are three ninjas on the mountain: one Chunin, two Genin, and the rest are just some bandits. Before you go up the mountain, you should think about how to deal with them." After saying this, Uchiha Kō disappeared, leaving to oversee the situation.
This time, it's for training the six little ones. If he makes a move too easily, it won't be effective for training. A giant Buddha with just one hand can crush the entire mountain and the bandits on it.
After seeing Uchiha Kō leave, everyone's expressions turned solemn. Uchiha Kō had already revealed that there were three ninjas among the bandits: one Chunin and two Genin.
They've already received special treatment; the rest is up to them.
Everyone looked at Namikaze Minato Namikaze Minato face was grave as he racked his brains for a solution. Although they were six ninjas, they only had Chakra at the Genin level, while their opponents included a Chunin, two Genin, and hundreds of bandits.
This one wrong step could put them in grave danger. Therefore, Namikaze Minato was under immense pressure at the moment, and even Sarutobi Shinnosuke didn't disturb him.
