Chapter 13: Bandits of Heizu

While they were travelling, Shuichi encountered a small puddle. He frowned and mumbled "rain? in May? strange". Sasuke who heard him also looked at the puddle but didn't fin strange with it. When they passed, Shuichi immediately activated byakugan and saw what's the thing behind him.

Sasuke who saw it found his actions strange. Shuichi deactivated his byakugan and shouted "Kakashi sensei, Yugao sensei". Yugao asked "what is it?" while Kakashi replied "It's nothing important. let's move". He looked at him while shaking his head. Shuichi nodded.

After they went a bit far, out of the puddle, two shinobi rose from the ground. "Konoha sure is giving that old man sufficient protection. They dispatched 2 Jonin with 6 little kids on this mission". "Nah, I don't think so. That old man didn't have that much money to hire two jonin. There must be something. let's follow them carefully for a while. If they reached the border together, then we will just inform Zabuza sama. If they somehow split up, we can ambush them from behind".

They slowly tailed them. They don't know that two shinobi already discovered their presence. One is Kakashi and the other is Shuichi who once again activated his byakugan to check them again but to surprise, he found them tailing the group for a while, so he just kept it on and quietly observing the two enemies.

But Shuichi didn't say anything as previously kakashi told him to be quiet but now he was interested "who are they after?. Is it my team? or their team?". Then, he deactivated his byakugan after realising that he may be after the client as he was the one who asked for protection while their job is to rescue the hostages and defeating bandits. The shinobi aren't involved.

He shook his head and thought "since it isn't my problem. I don't need to care about it. I doubt they would attack as that chance has already been slipped away. Let's just Team 7 deal with their problems themselves".

After a few hours, they went into separate ways and Shuichi found that his guess was right. They still went after Team 7 and didn't follow them.

Later, they passed through a town and rest in an inn. Two days later, they reached the forest. Yugao then gave the instructions "Ok, you will deal this without my help. If anything unexpected happens, I will jump in. Yakumo, you are coming with me".

"But sensei". Shuichi interrupted her "Yakumo, be patient for a while. It's dangerous this time. After this mission, you can learn various sealing jutsus and then help us. Ok?".

She reluctantly went with Yugao. Shuichi looked at Sai "have you done something like this before?". He nodded. Shuichi then spoke, "I'll tell you their positions, tell me what should we do".

He nodded. "Byakugan". "The one alone at 2 o'clock 500m is probably the leader. one bandit is roaming at 200m ahead. one at 1 o'clock 150m, one is at 11 o'clock 260m. two are at 400m at 10 o'clock. and three are at 300m moving from left to right. and lastly, 6 hostages are sitting? probably tied up at 600m straight from here".

Sai stared at him for a while. "What?". "I wish we had a byagukan user in our root. It would make missions lot easier". "cut your nonsense and tell me your plan". "Ok, here's the plan".

after hearing about it Shuichi asked "ok, that's good. but I'm not sure if we can take him out".. while he said that, he was thinking "I can't activate my sharingan and show it's abilities in front of this guy. He will just report to Danzo everything".

Sai replied "don't worry, we can defeat a chunin if we work together. I will try to create an opening for you and all you need to use your strongest jutsu, the one which incapacitate enemy in just one move". Shuichi nodded.

Slowly in the darkness, one by one while Sai is luring them a bit far from other's sight by using ink animals or use snakes to cover their mouths and restraining them, Shuichi knocked them out with his juken style.

After defeating everyone but four. Shuichi asked "there are three here together. how to lure them from each other?". He replied, "there's no need to lure these weak ones".

Shuichi when he saw them clearly, he understood what he meant. the three who are roaming here and there are just fully drunk.

They just jumped up and kicked them out which alerted the Bandit leader. When he reached the place he saw three of his subordinates were down and One kid who has a pale face standing on them and staring at him.

In an instant, the battle broke out and the Bandit leader punched him. Sai took the hit directly and flew a dozen metres and crashed into a tree. After taking the hit, he immediately started to run away from him. The bandit leader who saw it, started to chase him. After half a minute, he stopped and thought of giving up as it was completely dark but when he saw his other two subordinates down. He got very angry and started to chase him in the dark while hearing his movements.

Meanwhile, Shuichi reached the den and saw Eight hostages of which two were dead from torture. They were afraid when they saw a person. "wait, don't be afraid. I'm a shinobi from Konoha. I'm here to rescue you. They were all down. you are safe now".

When he saw the two dead bodies, he was certainly angered, but while he was freeing the women, he observed there having the various number of bruises on their bodies. they were shivering just from his little touch. They were certainly tortured and violated many times.

He was shocked to see something this dark "just how much they tortured these women, they were even afraid with a 12-year-old boy standing near them?".

But he calmed himself down and freed them. come with me. these 6 women slowly came out. "wait for a bit".

Then, he looked at the three men who were knocked down earlier. He picked them up and tied three of them to a big tree.

He took out six kunai from his ouch and gave each one of them "take one each". They obediently took it. One's hand was shivering to move it by itself. "What are you waiting for? take your revenge. slit their throats who were responsible for it".

He expected them to kill them in revenge but didn't expected they already had the lack of courage. He looked at them coldly "these bast***s don't deserve to live. Even if you don't kill, I will kill them. So, if any one of you has courage, then do it and take your revenge by yourself.

while four of them didn't come forward, two ladies still came forward while limping their legs. but only one got the courage to raise the kunai. she clutched the kunai and slit one guy's throat who doesn't even know that he died.

seeing that, the other girl while crying slit another throat and without looking back, he pushed his dagger into the last Bandit's neck.

He nodded "good. now, there are more to go. if you want to continue, you can. if you don't want it anymore, I'll just take you to a safe place.

One woman cried "No, I want to kill that bloody Bas***d". "Oh!, the leader". He instantly activated Byakugan and found him engaging in battle with sai. "Wait for me here. I'll bring him alive for you to kill him".

Shuichi dashed forward and after a while, he found Sai is battling with his tanto but looking at the injuries on his body, he seemed to be in a bad state. Sai upon seeing Shuichi "good, you took a while. If you hadn't come sooner, I would have signalled for sensei already. let's do it. we have to capture him and bring him back to Konoha".

But Shuichi coldly replied, "No, we aren't capturing him". The bandit leader punched Sai with Stone fist jutsu. He turned towards Shuichi "his teammate?. hmpf, two little kids dared to come to capture me? Konoha sure overestimates their genins".

Shuichi didn't reply one little word and his expression turned colder and colder by every second. The bandit leader tried the same with Shuichi but when he was about to punch, He emitted chakra from all of his body's tenketsu to block it. He then spun rapidly, repelling the attack away and created a protective shield and stopped.

"Hakkeshou: Kaiten - Eight Trigrams Palms: Revolving Heaven".

The opponent and the grass, everything 2m around him was completely blown away. But he didn't even give time for him to fall. Just when The Bandit leader was in the air, He dashed forward

"juken: Hakke Rokujuyon Shou- gentle fist: eight trigrams 64 palms". He then struck him 2 times "2 palms", then strike him again 2 times "4 palms", then strike him 4 times "8 palms", then strike him 8 times "16 palms", then strike him 16 times "32 palms" and finished it with 32 more consecutive strikes "64 palms".

Sai, who was standing there while watching Shuichi finished a chunin in 2 moves thought "Should I inform Danzo sama? No, Danzo sama didn't order me to collect information about Shuichi san. So, I shouldn't. Yes, I was just following Danzo sama's order. There's nothing wrong with it".

Then, he picked up the leg and dragged him like a dead body all over to the women who are still waiting while trusting him. When they saw him dragging him, they didn't think he was cruel but they even thought that he was merciful by not killing him and giving him to them a chance to take revenge.

He wants to wake him up while they were killing him but then, he thought even for a criminal, it is cruel and he wasn't cruel enough to torture a conscious man like that. They cried while stabbing him more than 20 times in total and one lady keeps stabbing his body over and over again. He grabbed her hand and softly said "stop, he's already dead. you are free. go and live the rest of your lives in peace".

After it was over, they went to report everything to Yugao while Yakumo was breathing with relief since both of them are alright.

While Yakumo was treating Sai's wound with first aid, Yugao asked Shuichi "so, how are you feeling?". "At first, when I saw those women in that state, I was overwhelmed in anger and had my first, I made them take their revenge. But, I'm not troubled with taking life becasue he deserves it. Although it would have been nice If I realised it before I kill him.

Yugao then replied in anger "It's good that the one who you killed is a scum who don't deserve to live". then, she calmed down and continued "but remember, don't ever be clouded by emotion when you kill someone. you never know when you regret it. just try to be rational at a times like these. well, you already grasped the point before I say it anyway. but it seems you are training very hard considering you defeated a Chunin by your own".
