Thud! Thud! Thud!
In the woods, Bieshu Feifan pinned Sarutobi Xingpa down and hammered his face with punch after punch.
Blood ran down his fists and Xingpa's cheeks, pooling on the ground.
Only after dozens of punches did Bieshu Feifan let out a long breath and release him.
On the ground, Sarutobi Xingpa's eyes had lost focus, and his bones were shattered.
Bieshu Feifan wiped his hands, picked up the fish beside him, and took a bite.
Then he kicked Sarutobi Xingpa again.
Bieshu Feifan felt that beating him had little to do with his threat to beat him to death.
It had nothing to do with his attitude, either.
The name Sarutobi alone was enough for Bieshu Feifan not to let him off.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi messed with him, he would mess with the Sarutobi.
After gasping for a few breaths, Sarutobi Xingpa finally regained some awareness.
Watching Bieshu Feifan dance while eating fish, he was both shocked and furious.
"Bieshu Feifan...
It's you!
What are you hiding in Konoha for?
Are you a spy from another village?"
Awake?
Bieshu Feifan immediately kicked Sarutobi Xingpa in the face again.
"That's for being a Sarutobi!
That's for wanting to beat me to death!
That's for shaking my head!
That's for being so arrogant!"
After several kicks, Sarutobi Xingpa became docile.
He could not get a single word out.
After finishing the fish, Bieshu Feifan strung Sarutobi Xingpa up.
As he struggled, Bieshu Feifan rubbed his fingers together. Flames rose beneath Xingpa's feet, setting him alight.
At the outpost, Sarutobi Xingpa's three subordinates fled back, covered in injuries.
"Bad news! Bad news! Captain Sarutobi has been snatched away!"
Before long, the eleven members of Konoha's patrol squads had all assembled.
The two captains looked grim, and their expressions grew even grimmer
