Namikaze Minato was organizing the girls' evacuation in the cellar. Before leaving, the pretty girl gritted her teeth and asked, "What's your name?"
Namikaze Minato taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Konoha Namikaze Minato."
"My benefactor, please accept my bow." The pretty girl bowed deeply, Namikaze Minato helped her up and shook his head. "No need for that, please go."
He stayed behind to prevent the women from stampeding due to their fear of not being rescued.
After all the girls had gone up, he took out a scroll and put the remaining grain inside; this was to be returned to the villagers.
After doing all that, he looked at the women who had been tortured beyond recognition and were mentally unstable, gritted his teeth, and walked up to them.
Seemingly having overheard Namikaze Minato's earlier words, witnessed his actions firsthand, and being aware of her own physical condition, a woman with two broken legs briefly regained her senses.
Namikaze Minato looked at her; her features were delicate, and her figure was well-proportioned. She must have been a very beautiful and gentle woman before.
He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something, and the woman seemed to understand what he wanted to say, so she smiled and shook her head. "I don't blame you, but can I ask you for a favor?"
Her eyes held a pleading look, which moved Namikaze Minato. He said, "Go ahead and speak."
The legless woman nodded, a happy smile spreading across her face. "I beg you, kill me."
Namikaze Minato's heart skipped a beat. He looked at the woman's request in disbelief, gritted his teeth, and asked, "Why?"
"I know you're in a difficult position, but someone like me has lost the basic ability to survive, and even if I got out, no one would pity me; I'd probably be scorned."
"So please kill me, and I will be eternally grateful for your kindness." After saying this, the woman seemed to have been provoked again.
Her features began to contort, she was crying and laughing, and she was still roaring. Namikaze Minato took a deep breath, and his hand touched the woman's head. A miraculous scene unfolded.
The woman stopped struggling and instead looked at Namikaze Minato as if he were a god, her eyes filled with fervent longing.
Namikaze Minato's right hand stopped trembling. He took out Kunai and stabbed it into the woman's brain. The woman stopped moving, but Namikaze Minato's body trembled.
He heard the woman's last words. "Thank you, Ninja Master."
After saying that, the woman fell asleep peacefully. Namikaze Minato covered her eyes. The woman's beautiful features were so exquisite, but unfortunately, she perished here because of a group of beasts.
If Namikaze Minato had the Sharingan, this scene would probably have at least brought him to the Three-Tomoe!
The remaining women all begged Namikaze Minato to kill them and let them leave this hell.
"Yes, I will." After saying that, Namikaze Minato took out Kunai and plunged them one by one into their brains, directly destroying their central nervous system so that they could leave this world without experiencing pain.
Namikaze Minato took a deep breath, patted some dry grass near them, took one of the two torches from the door and threw it inside, using the other for lighting.
Just as Hyuga Hiashi Namikaze Minato and why he hadn't come out yet, Namikaze Minato emerged from the cellar with a cold expression.
Hyuga Hiashi Akimichi Choza, who was standing next to him, pulled him back and shook his head.
Akimichi Choza keenly sensed the pain and hatred in Namikaze Minato's heart at that moment. What had this guy gone through?
Akimichi Choza was thinking to himself.
The group of women filled the entire room, kneeling on the ground to thank Namikaze Minato, Namikaze Minato simply nodded in response.
"Choza escorted them down the mountain." Namikaze Minato said as if he were talking about something very ordinary.
Akimichi Choza glanced at him, then nodded. "Everyone, come with me!"
Many girls left with Akimichi Choza, but the girl covered in bite marks from the beginning gritted her teeth and chose to stay.
"You don't know the location of the bandit leader in Kemo Mountain, but I do. I'll take you there," the woman said with a smile.
"No need, you go down the mountain with them too!" Namikaze Minato scolded.
Hyuga Hiashi dared not speak; Namikaze Minato's aura was too strong right now, and he could only keep his presence down.
"No! I've been bullied like this by those people, and you won't even let me lead the way to get revenge!" The woman's eyes revealed a resolute look.
Namikaze Minato remained silent, turning and heading towards the midfield assembly point. Hyuga Hiashi also tried to persuade the woman, but she still shook her head. "No! I said I want revenge!"
They then followed the group to the rendezvous area to complete their mission. Sarutobi Shinnosuke and his group, who had been waiting there, were chatting quietly when Uchiha Fugaku saw Minato and smiled.
But the next instant, his face turned pale, Minato's body was filled with boundless hatred, and his eyes revealed a cruel look.
Following behind him and Hyuga Hiashi was a woman, who appeared to be one of the rescued individuals.
"Minato, how's it going on your end?" Minato didn't answer, but looked at the group.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke frowned, while Yamanaka Inoichi stopped him, sensing the distortion of Namikaze Minato's soul through his Soul Battle Technique.
Namikaze Minato suddenly spoke up, "Tonight, kill all the bandits on sight, leave no survivors, including the elderly and children."
The group was immediately stunned. These were words from Namikaze Minato Little Sun? Holy crap! What... what had he been through?
However, at this moment, Minato's aura was too powerful, causing everyone to lower their heads and not dare to respond.
"You've gone mute!" Namikaze Minato raised his voice, and the other four shuddered, quickly saying, "We heard you!"
The woman looked at Namikaze Minato, a hint of worry in her eyes; she seemed to have guessed something.
There was a hint of melancholy in her eyes. She was very smart, the most beautiful girl in the surrounding villages, and loved reading. She often knew more than other girls.
"I'll lead the way. I know where those ninjas are, and where their families are," the woman said with a smile.
Namikaze Minato nodded. "After you've brought them here, you can leave." He then walked towards the main house, his eyes showing neither joy nor sorrow, only indifference.
The woman quickly followed, and the other four children followed closely behind, not daring to utter a word. Even Sarutobi Hiruzen's eldest son, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, dared not speak at this moment, his eyes filled with complex emotions as he looked at Namikaze Minato and followed closely behind.
A strange light flashed in Uchiha Kō's eyes as he stood on the rooftop; Namikaze Minato's mentality was currently in turmoil.
His brows were furrowed, and he was ready to help Namikaze Minato at any moment. In this state, a ninja tends to overlook many things; to put it simply, he was obsessed at that moment.
