"Snort!"

Just as the loli Hoshino Aki was enveloped by that dark figure, Uchiha Yue was about to get up and fight when he suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him. Then, under the contemptuous gaze of the person in front of him, Uchiha Yue fell heavily to the ground, only able to watch as the person in front of him coldly picked up the loli Hoshino Aki's body.

"Is this all the ninja from Konoha are capable of?"

Watching Uchiha Yue fall heavily to the ground, the person carrying the little girl Uchiha Yue Hoshino Aki walked up to him, saying with utter contempt, "We put sleeping pills in the campfire at dinner, and the food we ate was the antidote. Do you feel weak all over, even unable to use your Chakra? Don't waste your energy. We, the Wolf Fang Bandit Group, are not Gale Bandit Group, who can be wiped out by your Konoha ninjas! Hahahaha!"

"Wolf Fang?!"

Upon hearing the words from the person in front of him, a look of seriousness flashed in Uchiha Yue's eyes. Now he finally knew the true identity of this caravan.

The Wolf Fang Bandit Group are also the most ruthless thief team in the Land of Fire, with a notorious reputation that even surpasses that of the Gale Bandit Group!

Furthermore, unlike the Gale Bandit Group Wolf Fang Bandit Group, the Wolf Fang Bandit Group are entirely composed of samurai. These samurai not only possess skills comparable to ninjas, but they are also ruthless in achieving their goals. Even though Uchiha Yue had been training in Konoha, he had heard of the Wolf Fang Bandit Group's fearsome reputation from his Ninja Academy instructor Uchiha Yue Sarutobi Shinsuke.

What concerned Uchiha Yue even more was that the mission to wipe out the Wolf Fang Bandit Group was also among the high-level missions that Kushina Uzumaki had mastered. However, Uchiha Yue never expected that before they even prepared to attack the Wolf Fang Bandit Group, the Wolf Fang Bandit Group had already set their sights on them. Clearly, in order to lure out Uchiha Yue and the other Konoha ninja like Minato Namikaze, the Wolf Fang Bandit Group deliberately disguised themselves as a merchant caravan, their aim being to wipe out Uchiha Yue and the Konoha ninja in one fell swoop!

Turning his head towards Minato Namikaze, Uchiha Yue was astonished to find that the members of the Wolf Fang Bandit Group had already tied Minato Namikaze to a tree with ropes. Undoubtedly, the sleeping drug used by the Wolf Fang Bandit Group was targeted at ninjas who used Chakra. The stronger the Chakra ninja, the more potent the drug would be; just as Uchiha Yue was currently only feeling weak, Minato Namikaze had already passed out.

Then, as Uchiha Yue stared intently at the members of the Wolf Fang Bandit Group before him, they didn't immediately kill Uchiha Yue and Minato Namikaze. At that moment, Uchiha Yue saw the Wolf Fang Bandit Group's confidence. These members, confident they could kill Uchiha Yue Minato Namikaze, had even tied them and the young Hoshino Aki to a tree, while simultaneously flipping through a mission list.

"Hey boss, we think we've caught a big fish!"

While Uchiha Yue and the others were tied to the tree, he clearly heard a member of the Wolf Fang Bandit Group Uchiha Yue excitedly say, "That blond-haired ninja is actually a very famous ninja from Konoha! His head is worth a lot of money on the bounty list! Once we pull off this heist, we brothers can enjoy a good life for a while!" The Wolf Fang Bandit Group member laughed a few times and continued, "Boss, let's hurry up and make our move! Any delay could lead to trouble!"

Upon hearing the words of the Wolf Fang Bandit Group, the leader of the Wolf Fang Bandit Group nodded and said, "Just take out that ghost and that brat. As for that blond-haired ninja, we only need his head. By the way, have the third brother and the others returned yet? It seems there are still two Konoha ninjas hiding nearby. Don't let them get away, understand?"

"Got it, boss!"

When the members of the Wolf Fang Bandit Group arrived here, Uchiha Yue's mood instantly plummeted.

Because Uchiha Yue never expected the Wolf Fang Bandit Group to be so powerful, even managing to detect Kushina Uzumaki and Hatake Kakashi, who were hiding in the shadows. The reason Uchiha Yue could act so confidently against these Wolf Fang Bandit Group was entirely due to Kushina Uzumaki and Hatake Kakashi's presence. If Kushina Uzumaki and Hatake Kakashi were also caught off guard, their entire team would be wiped out by the Wolf Fang Bandit Group.

However, Uchiha Yue obviously doesn't have much time right now to think about whether Kushina Uzumaki and Hatake Kakashi have been captured.

At this moment, the members of the Wolf Fang Bandit Group had already arrived in front of Uchiha Yue, their eyes flashing with intense killing intent, ready to reap the lives of Uchiha Yue and the loli Hoshino Aki.

As the Wolf Fang Bandit Group Thieves' katana was about to fall, Uchiha Yue's eyes narrowed slightly.

Immediately afterwards...

Just as the Wolf Fang Bandit Group about to take Uchiha Yue's life, a Kunai through his throat!

"Fourth brother!"

Upon suddenly discovering that a member of the Wolf Fang Bandit Group had been killed, shock filled the eyes of all the Wolf Fang Bandit Group. Moreover, as the surprise in their eyes gradually faded and transformed into intense killing intent, the owner of the Kunai who had thrown it earlier smiled at Uchiha Yue and said, "Yue, how long are you going to keep playing?"

Upon hearing the other party's words, the panic on Uchiha Yue's face vanished instantly, replaced by a cold expression.

Then, Uchiha Yue unleashed the Chakra within her body and easily broke free from the ropes binding her.

The next second, Uchiha Yue hurled seven or eight Kunai from his hand, each Kunai reaping the life of a member of the Wolf Fang Bandit Group. Moreover, after Uchiha Yue had taken the lives of some of the Wolf Fang Thieves, the Kunai he had thrown seemed to come alive, flying through the air again and killing several more members of the Wolf Fang Bandit Group.

In just a few seconds, the leader of the Wolf Fang Bandit Group looked as if he had fallen from a high place into hell, his face filled with disbelief.

Especially when the Wolf Fang Bandit Group' leader's gaze fell on Uchiha Yue, he murmured in horror, "How... how is this possible?"

"Why not?"

Using Chakra Threads to pull back a Kunai, Uchiha Yue gently wiped the blood off Kunai and said calmly, "The Wolf Fang Bandit Group are indeed worthy of their reputation, but unfortunately you've underestimated the ninjas of Konoha. Did you really think that mere sleeping pills could subdue us?" A contemptuous smile played on Uchiha Yue's lips as he continued disdainfully, "As a disciple of Sannin, one of the Tsunade, if I couldn't even distinguish the scent of these sleeping pills, wouldn't I be disgracing my master?"

"If you're going to regret something, regret that you ran into me!"

Remember my name before you die!

"My name is... Uchiha Yue!"
