The One-Eyed Dragon's Ninjutsu

"Enemy attack!" Qingyun had the sharpest eyesight and sensory perception, immediately broadcasting the information about the enemy's appearance.

Minato and Yoshihime drew their kunai, preparing for battle at a moment's notice.

Qingyun naturally scanned his surroundings, ready to engage in combat immediately.

"Ah! Enemies! There are actually bandits!" The caravan leader was filled with regret, but upon seeing White Fang on his side, a sense of security instantly took root in his heart.

"You lot have some fine-looking cargo there; just leave it all to me!" A man stepped out, wearing an eyepatch—a One-Eyed Dragon.

It was clear that the man speaking was the leader of this group of bandits.

"Hey! Boss! They have ninja escorts! It looks like they might be Konoha ninja!" One of the underlings noticed this and spoke up immediately.

The One-Eyed Dragon stared for a long moment before bursting into laughter.

"Haha! Ninja? Look, aren't these just three little brats? With so many of us, how could we possibly be afraid of them?" The One-Eyed Dragon then looked at White Fang, who showed no intention of fighting, and said, "Look, this white-haired guy seems a bit more decent."

"I say, can you lot stop acting? You use your own children to dress up as Konoha ninja, thinking that will scare us? Do you think that will stop me from continuing to rob your cargo?"

"Hand it over obediently, and I'll spare your lives!" The One-Eyed Dragon threatened viciously, his weapon clearly not just for show.

The surrounding bandit companions were as numerous as the hairs on an ox.

Ninety-nine percent of the people in the caravan were actually feeling uneasy, as they hadn't seen the three of them fight, and the white-haired young man had already stated he would not intervene.

"What do we do now?" Yoshihime asked quietly.

"Listen to Qingyun. He is our captain. White Fang-sensei said we must temporarily follow his command." Minato did not rush into action either, leaving everything to Qingyun for the time being.

Qingyun smiled slightly and slowly walked forward a few steps.

"Bandits, are you? Want to rob our cargo? Do you know who I am? My name is Qingyun." Qingyun considered himself to have a certain reputation in the ninja world and hoped these bandits would know better.

"I'll count to three. If you leave quickly, I won't have to take action." Qingyun said, appearing very friendly.

However, Qingyun was still just a little kid, and his voice sounded somewhat milky; far from threatening others, his words immediately drew laughter from the bandits.

"Hahaha! How interesting! Little guy! Are you really not afraid of death?" One of the One-Eyed Dragon's subordinates stepped forward, grabbed Qingyun, and lifted him up with ease.

"Three!" The smile on Qingyun's face did not vanish as he uttered the number.

"You brat! Are you that eager to die?" The bandit underling pulled Qingyun into the air.

"Two!"

The intention of the bandit was obvious: he meant to smash Qingyun heavily against the ground.

"Do we really not need to help?" Yoshihime could no longer hold back, but the composed Minato said, "Trust Qingyun. I think you know his strength best."

"Go to hell!" The bandit slammed Qingyun hard into the ground, and the surrounding bandits, instead of showing any pity, burst into loud laughter.

As for the people in the caravan, they all covered their eyes, unwilling to witness the tragedy.

"The three numbers are up. I gave you a chance, but since you didn't cherish it, then stay here forever." Qingyun's voice came from the hand of the bandit who had just grabbed him.

At this moment, Qingyun had been smashed into the ground, but his feet had already condensed Armament Haki Hardening; how could someone of a bandit's caliber possibly injure him?

"Armament Haki Hardening! Chakra Enhanced Strength!" Qingyun not only used Armament Haki but also channeled the Chakra Enhanced Strength of Tsunade.

This heavy punch did not send the man flying; instead, it pierced directly through his body.

Qingyun punched through the bandit's torso, and blood immediately gushed out.

Everyone around was stunned; the caravan members had not expected that such a small child could kill a bandit with a single punch!

"Get him, boys!" The One-Eyed Dragon was shocked, but as a leader, he couldn't let his subordinate die in vain at the hands of a child.

"Kill them!" Yoshihime shouted, preparing to charge forward with Minato.

To everyone's surprise, Qingyun immediately said, "Yoshihime! Minato! Don't forget our mission! You two are responsible for protecting the caravan's people and cargo! Leave the rest to me!"

"Right!" Minato and Yoshihime didn't say anything more; Qingyun was their captain, and his ability and status earned their unconditional trust.

Immediately after, Qingyun began his killing spree.

These bandits were no good; they were clearly habitual offenders with more than a few lives on their hands.

There was only one thing Qingyun needed to do: kill!

There was no morality to speak of with these people. Even if they handed over all the cargo to save their lives, they would still die; after all, he didn't keep useless trash alive.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!" Dealing with this scum, Qingyun naturally used Fire Style to burn them all to ashes!

Even so, many bandits tried to bypass Qingyun to attack the caravan directly.

Qingyun gave them no chance to counterattack, using Shadow Clones to wipe out eighty percent of the bandits like a whirlwind.

"You bastard! You really can use ninjutsu! I didn't expect you to actually be a ninja! Are there only children like you in Konoha?!"

"Haha!" The One-Eyed Dragon felt no fear, nor did he feel any pain for the death of his subordinates; he was a cold-blooded, heartless wretch.

"In that case, I won't hold back either! Wind Style: Breakthrough!"

The bandit leader suddenly used Wind Style, which took Qingyun by slight surprise.

"This guy is actually a ninja? This is my first time fighting a real enemy who can use ninjutsu!" Qingyun suddenly became interested.

Qingyun stood firm against the wind, his feet already channeling Chakra Enhanced Strength, and the Wind Style: Breakthrough didn't move him an inch.

"Impossible! How can Wind Style have no effect on you!?"

"Since that's the case! Try my strongest move!"

"Wind Style: Pressure Damage!" The One-Eyed Dragon performed hand seals again to unleash a more powerful Wind Style technique; this was already a B-rank ninjutsu.
