Kurenai Yuhi spoke in a serious tone, her worry evident in her words.
Feeling the same way, Yunxiao and the other two nodded quickly: "Yes! We understand, teacher!"
Has the situation really gotten that bad?
Asuma asked somewhat naively, "Isn't Konoha the strongest ninja village? Why would it still be like this?"
"Why is it still this dangerous?"
Kurenai Yuhi took over the conversation, looking at Asuma with a helpless expression.
In his view, this youngest son of the third generation was too naive and too immature!
He's always been rebellious, always trying to prove himself to the third generation, but he just doesn't try hard enough!
In addition, he is always thinking about love and romance, which is far inferior to his teammate Uchiha Unsho, who is the same age!
As the teacher in charge, he naturally had a detailed understanding of each member of the class and was well aware of Uchiha Unsho's level of effort.
Compared to him, Asuma is nothing.
"Correct!"
Asuma, oblivious to being disliked, nodded repeatedly.
Yunxiao observed all this and, before Yuhi Shinku could speak, interjected, "Because we are not yet strong enough to fight four opponents at once and handle it with ease! The Sand Village has started a war against us! Then, it won't be long before the Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and even the Kirigakure start a war against us!"
Wasn't that the case with the two previous Shinobi World Wars?
"what?"
Asuma retorted with disbelief, "Why should Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and even Kirigakure necessarily go to war with us just because Sand Village has started a war with us? Can't they just fight each other? No matter how you look at it, Konoha is the strongest, right?"
Don't people always pick the softest persimmons?
"Because your father, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was a weak, pacifist idiot! Konoha may seem the strongest, but in the eyes of the other four great ninja villages, it's just an easy target!"
Although Yunxiao really wanted to say that to Asma, he held back for the sake of his own life!
He said to Asuma, "Because Konoha and the Land of Fire are the richest and have the most abundant resources!"
This explanation is perfunctory; the truth is certainly far more complex.
However, Yunxiao is not going to say anything!
Asuma also thought this was absurd, but he didn't refute it further because there was indeed some truth to it.
Moreover, he himself couldn't figure out the reason.
How much insight can a rebellious ten-year-old son of an official have?
"What Yunxiao said is one of the main reasons! As for the others, you don't need to know now; you'll understand later! Alright! Let's speed up and get to our destination before dark!"
Yuhi Shinku summarized with a sentence, then urged.
"Yes!"
The four men sped towards their destination.
At dusk, they successfully reached their destination.
"That's it! Asuma, you attack from the west, Kurenai, you attack from the north, and I'll go straight in! Is that alright?"
Yunxiao and the other two stood on several large trees, looking down at the mountain stronghold in the distance. Yunxiao assigned tasks.
Kurenai Yuhi: "No problem!"
Asma: "Neither do I!"
"Alright! Let's go!!"
"call out!"
The next moment, the three of them sped away, quietly approached the mountain stronghold, and then, as agreed, stormed into the stronghold.
"Whoa!"
Yunxiao burst out of the woods and threw two kunai at the two guards at the main gate of the stronghold.
"Whoosh...whoosh!"
The kunai streaked across the sky, instantly striking the necks of the two bandits.
"Hehehe!"
The two bandits immediately clutched their pierced necks and died.
"call out!"
Yunxiao didn't even glance at the two of them, and calmly sped into the mountain stronghold.
Chapter 6
On the other two sides, Red and Asuma also launched attacks.
"Magic·Tree Binding Killing!"
"Wind Release: Wind Blade Technique!"
"Enemy attack!!"
"kill!!"
Soon, Yunxiao, Hong, and Asuma from the other two directions were discovered by the mountain bandits patrolling further inside.
Some of the bandits charged straight into the sky, while others sent out warning signals and shouted.
"Puff puff!!!"
Yunxiao drew the long sword from his back and charged at the bandits without the slightest hesitation.
In an instant, a cold light flashed, and wherever it passed, all the bandits perished. No one could withstand Yunxiao's attack.
"That symbol, brat! You're a Konoha ninja? Die!!!"
Upon hearing the shouts, the bandit leader immediately led more than ten of his men out.
Upon seeing Yunxiao and the headband on his forehead, his pupils constricted slightly. Without thinking, he drew his sword and used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to attack.
"Oh? He's a genin? That's interesting!"
Yunxiao smiled slightly upon seeing this.
According to intelligence, this person is just an ordinary person, but now he is a ninja. Obviously, there is something wrong with his identity!
"They're probably spies from the Sand Village or some other ninja village, right?"
Yunxiao thought to himself.
No wonder Konoha issued a mission to exterminate the mountain bandits at this critical juncture!
It seems likely that the mountain bandits within the Land of Fire will soon face a mission from the Leaf Village ninja to wipe them out.
This is a standard pre-battle cleanup tactic.
"when!!!"
Two figures flashed past each other, and two swords clashed together, producing a crisp metallic clang.
"puff!"
Suddenly, the bandit leader appeared four meters behind Yunxiao, frozen in place, spitting out a mouthful of blood, muttering in disbelief, "How is this possible?"
Then, consciousness was plunged into eternal darkness.
Blood gushed from his neck, and he collapsed and died!
"Porphyrin!"
Yunxiao opened his eyes, which flashed with red light, and there were two black tomoe in the iris of each eye.
"Devil! You are the devil!"
"Idiot! That's the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan! Kill this brat!!"
The leader was instantly killed. When the other bandits saw Yunxiao's Sharingan, they were terrified. Some were too afraid to approach Yunxiao, while others were bold enough to swing their swords and attack him.
"kill!"
Yunxiao sneered and mercilessly used his Instantaneous Movement Technique to flash through the scene more than a dozen times in just a few breaths, killing them one by one with a single strike.
In just a few minutes, they had wiped out the dozens of bandits who had come to attack them!
Not a single drop of blood was on him.
"Whoosh! Clouds!!"
"Red! Clouds!"
At this moment, Honghao Asuma also attacked from two other directions and joined Yunxiao.
Both of them were in poor condition at the moment, mainly because it was their first time killing someone, and their faces were somewhat pale.
Yunxiao felt the same way; the strong smell of blood made him feel nauseous.
"Ok!"
However, now is not the time to worry about these things. He nodded slightly to Red and Asuma: "You've worked hard! Now is not the time to relax. Continue searching! Make sure there are no living enemies before we meet up here!"
As he spoke, Yunxiao used his Instantaneous Movement Technique to rush straight to the largest room in the mountain stronghold.
"Yes!"
Kurenai and Asuma were initially quite surprised to see Yunxiao's Sharingan and wanted to ask him something, but upon hearing Yunxiao's words, they temporarily put aside their questions and chose two other directions to leave.
"Oh? The Sharingan has awakened? And it's already double tomoe! What incredible talent!"
On a tall tree outside the mountain stronghold, Kurenai Yuhi stood and witnessed the entire process of Yunxiao and the other two killing their enemies. She also saw Yunxiao's awakened Sharingan and couldn't help but sigh.
Yunxiao is only ten years old. His talent and strength are already outstanding among his peers. This time, he has awakened the Sharingan, and it is even a double tomoe. It is conceivable that Yunxiao's strength will take a leap in the next period of time.
That's how the Uchiha clan has always been.
The situation before and after awakening the Sharingan is completely different.
"The third generation will probably be alarmed, right?"
"That's what Yuhi Makoto thought to herself."
Yunxiao was his student, and both were of good character. Yuhi Shinku was quite happy for Yunxiao.
Especially at this critical juncture of the war, Yunxiao's strength will be greatly enhanced, which is good news for both himself and his teammates, Red and Asuma.
In this way, Kurenai Yuhi can feel a little more at ease.
In addition, Kurenai Yuhi knew that his daughter liked Yunxiao. Although he was also a little unhappy, it was still much better than Asuma's situation!
The people in the stronghold had already been almost wiped out, so Yunxiao and his group cleaned up the area again, killing the remaining people and rescuing a few innocent civilians. They also looted some of the stronghold's valuables before meeting up in the center of the stronghold.
"Whew! I'm exhausted!"
Asuma, panting heavily, plopped down on the ground without any regard for his image and complained.
"It should be finished by now, right?"
Hong, pale-faced and slightly out of breath, looked at Asuma and Yunxiao and asked.
"Ok!"
Yunxiao nodded calmly: "The body has been thoroughly searched! Once we've disposed of it, we can leave!"
"Huh? I have to move the corpse too! Can you spare me?"
Asma wailed.
He really doesn't want to move anymore!
Besides, those corpses died horribly! He really didn't want to move them!
"Do you want Hong and I to move together?"
Yunxiao said with a smile.
The emphasis was particularly placed on the word "together".
"no!"
Asuma immediately jumped up from the ground, raised one hand, and righteously objected, "Hong is a weak girl, how can she do such a thing? I'll do it with you!"
