"Where the hell did everyone go? How did two brats get in here?"
Gato hadn't expected the two people who had entered his headquarters to be children.
His face twisted with anger, and combined with his naturally short stature,
he looked rather comical...
"Lord Gato, the guards at the entrance are dead..."
Seeing how furious Gato was, the few lackeys standing beside him didn't dare speak up.
A few seconds later, only one middle-aged, burly man with a lecherous look stepped forward.
Trembling, he said to Gato, "Lord Gato, these two brats don't seem to be from the Land of Waves..."
"I don't care what country they're from! Capture them and feed them to the fish!"
Though the only ones who'd died were two insignificant guards,
Gato couldn't help feeling enraged at the thought that someone had dared to kill people right outside the entrance to his headquarters.
In the Land of Waves, he was king. Anyone who dared to challenge him had to die!
"Yes, Lord Gato."
At Gato's command, his men, who had been standing behind him, all stepped forward.
Since Yun Xi and Karin were children, they didn't even bother taking out their weapons.
Some of the rogue ninja Gato had hired had rushed over, thinking the headquarters was under attack, but now they stood off to the side and watched.
They had no intention of getting involved.
Most of them were Genin and Chunin, and their strength was garbage.
But Yun Xi was only a child. In their eyes, he posed no threat at all.
So they naturally didn't bother to act, choosing instead to watch from the sidelines.
"Brother Yun Xi, should we kill them?"
Seeing the men slowly approach, Karin prepared for battle.
Although the original story had given most people the impression that Karin was a ninja who focused on support,
she still had some strength. At the very least, she'd have no trouble dealing with these thugs, who weren't even ninja.
"Kill them..."
As far as Yun Xi remembered, there wasn't a single good person in the Gato Company.
Besides ordinary shipping, they also committed murder and arson and trafficked people and drugs.
They were utterly wicked, and when it came to dealing with scum like them,
Yun Xi felt not the slightest bit of pity...
"Okay!"
With Yun Xi's confirmation, Karin immediately pulled a shuriken from her clothes.
She charged straight at the crowd in the distance.
Yun Xi, meanwhile, kept his eyes on Zabuza the entire time...
"Little girl, you're asking to die!"
Gato's men hadn't expected a little girl to dare attack them first.
But just as they were about to strike, Karin made her move...
"Sealing Jutsu: Single Chain Technique!"
As Karin's chakra emerged from her body, a chain about ten centimeters in diameter appeared out of nowhere.
Under Karin's control, it unleashed tremendous force.
Like a sweeping army, it knocked down all of Gato's men in one blow!
"How is that possible?"
"Is that little girl a monster?"
"Gato's men may be useless civilians, but how could a little girl take them all out at once?"
"What kind of ninjutsu is that?"
The rogue ninja who witnessed the scene stared as if they'd seen a ghost.
Even if they'd stepped in themselves, they would've needed to put in some effort to deal with Gato's men.
But Karin had taken them all out in a single strike!
As the dust settled, an excited expression appeared on Karin's face.
At the same time, she thought to herself, I can finally help Brother Yun Xi, too.
"Did Karin really awaken her Sealing Jutsu this early?"
Yun Xi was surprised by what he'd just seen.
He knew Karin had inherited Sealing Jutsu.
But he hadn't expected her to be able to use it successfully at such a young age...
In the original story, Karin had appeared relatively late.
By the time she officially used Sealing Jutsu, the Fourth Shinobi World War was already underway.
Since he hadn't seen Karin use Sealing Jutsu, Yun Xi had instinctively assumed she couldn't use it yet.
He'd thought she'd have to grow up before she could unlock the inheritance...
"I get it. Karin must have known Sealing Jutsu even as a child in the original story."
"But she was only treated as a tool for healing back then, so she hid her strength to protect herself."
After piecing together the events of Naruto, Yun Xi finally understood!
"Looks like I'll have to train Karin properly."
After seeing Karin's exceptional talent, Yun Xi began thinking about how to train her.
When Gato saw Karin take out his men in an instant, his face was immediately overtaken by terror.
"Quick!"
"Kill that brat!"
The rogue ninja who'd been watching from the sidelines reluctantly stepped forward.
They'd realized Karin wasn't easy to deal with, but Gato had hired them, after all.
When the time came to act, they had to do their job.
"Karin, come back. I'll handle the rest."
Seeing a dozen or so rogue ninja slowly approach, some of them Chunin,
Yun Xi called Karin back just as she was preparing to fight again.
"I don't have much time. I'll take care of them all at once."
Seeing the confusion on Karin's face, Yun Xi could only explain why he wanted her to come back.
Karin's strength might have made her invincible among her peers,
but the number and age of the enemies were clearly beyond what she could handle.
If Yun Xi still didn't step in, they'd obviously end up wasting time.
And if they weren't careful, Karin might even get hurt in the fight.
"Hey, what are you two brats whispering about?"
"Stop dawdling and come here to die!"
Gato's hired rogue ninja saw Karin and Yun Xi talking to each other,
and clearly felt they were being looked down on. Naturally, they grew angry.
"Shut up already!"
Yun Xi couldn't be bothered to say anything more. Facing these clueless nobodies,
he charged at them at incredible speed.
At the same time, his hands formed seals so quickly they were invisible to the naked eye...
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
A fireball more than ten meters in diameter erupted from Yun Xi's mouth.
Its massive range wiped out all the nobodies...
When the flames died down, the ground was left devastated, and the rogue ninja Gato had hired—the ones who'd been so arrogant before—were all lying on the ground.
Whether they were alive or dead was unclear...
"Fire Style really is the best for dealing with nobodies like these."
Looking at the results, Yun Xi smiled.
Although Fire Style Ninjutsu had hardly killed any famous ninja in the original Naruto story,
it was definitely the first choice when facing large groups of enemies, thanks to its wide area of attack.
"How can this be..."
After seeing all his men and hired rogue ninja killed,
Gato, who'd been so arrogant moments before, finally showed a hint of fear.
But Gato didn't run away. He still had a trump card!
The Jonin who stood beside him: Zabuza Momochi, a former Anbu member of the Land of Water!
He was also one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, with a strength far beyond that of an ordinary ninja!
He'd even earned a title in the Five Great Shinobi Villages that made countless civilians tremble in fear: Demon!
