As night started to fall I started picking up more and more chakra signatures heading our way. First it was 2, then it was 7, which transformed into 19, and finally a grand total of 32 people on their way back.
Looking back at sensei I whispered "Sensei, I'm picking up on 32 signatures headed back towards the camp from all different directions. What do you want us to do?"
"Well that's kind of a dumb question" He whispered back showing half lidded eyes. "You guys are going to take them out of course. They're only regular bandits so they probably won't have any chakra, or at least not much of it. This means you'll be able to plow right through them without much problem. I'll leave it up to you guys on how you coordinate and execute the attack." Hanzo took a step back withdrawing from the conversation but still listening.
We all nodded our heads, at this point we all pretty much know what Hanzo's style of teaching was. It was mostly a hands off style of teaching. He likes to metaphorically and literally throw us into the water so we either sink or swim. On top of the fact that he lets us figure things out for ourselves.
"So how do you guys think we should do it?" I whispered to my two squad mates
I think we should just flow through and use my flames to burn everyone to ashes." Benimaru said, always the one to be the most confrontational.
"I think we should use the dark and our speed to take advantage of the situation." Both of them looked at each other then turned to face me.
"What do you think Shiran?"
Smiling and rubbing the back of my neck I thought about the 2 answers. 'I need to appeal to both of them that way they both feel good about the plan, how do I do this?' I thought in my head for a few seconds before answering
"Honestly I think we could go with both options. As long as you're ok with causing a big distraction and attracting everyone's attention, me and Kiyoko will be able to sneak in the back and kill everyone from the inside out. You wont have any help though, and thats the downside here."
All 3 of us sat in contemplative silence as we thought about the plan. "I'm fine with being bait here. The only thing is, if I call for backup then I need it straight away and with both of your speed I better not have to wait long."
WHAM
What kind of teammates do you think we are? Of course we would come and help you in a situation like that" Kiyoko punched him on the head while whisper shouting at Benimaru.
I nodded in agreement with her. "Of course, if you call for help we'll be there in a split second."
Benimaru smiled and I could feel his chakra starting to rile up. "Then what are we waiting for?" He asked as he flickered to the front of the bandit camp.
Fire Release: Flame Bullet
Benimaru let 15 large flame bullets fly from his mouth lightning everything on fire while getting the attention of almost all of the people in the camp. With that, me and Kiyoko flickered away in opposite directions. Kiyoko leaving an after image and the X's in my kanjogan spinning wildly.
Using my sensory abilities I tracked down everyone in my vicinity and killed them swiftly and silently using the short blade that sensei had given me to train my close range kenjutsu with. Darting in and out of the encampment too fast for them to even recognize that they were dying. As I was killing them I felt big emotional fluctuations from both Kiyoko and Benimaru.
'They both must have killed their first person, I'll have to make sure to be there for them later.' I thought as I dashed between tents and makeshift houses leaving a trail of bodies wherever I went.
"WE GOT PEOPLE AT THE BACK OF THE CAMP TOO!" I heard a man shout out as he ran across a body that was out in the open. As soon as he shouted that out I felt 5 more bandits rush to my area and surround me.
"You'll die for what you did to our people" One of the bandits spoke up, hate in his voice.
"Would you shut up. It's not my fault you guys decide to pick on the weak, this is just the consequences of the actions you took on Uzu soil." Rolling my eyes I got to dealing with them one by one.
'Light Release: Greased Lightning'
Thrusting my hands forward spikes of lightning came flying out of my hands piercing 2 people in the head and hitting another in the foot making him immobile.
The ruthless effiency that the 2 bandits and many more had been taken out with made the rest of the group hesitate for just a second. While they were hesitating I was flying through more hand seals.
'Storm Release: Laser Circus'
I pointed both hands in opposite directions as the ring of light showed up around both my hands creating a very high pitched hum.
Before anyone else could react I had already released the jutsu and pierced their chests with my lasers and they all fell to the ground.
'Should've tried to hide that body while I could, then I wouldn't have had to draw attention to myself here.' I thought to myself as an idea popped into my head. 'Maybe I can just seal the dead bodies in a storage scroll that way it allows these types of infiltration missions to go smoother than this one. Oh well, that's for future me to worry about.'
Before long the numbers started to dwindle down to about 6 people left. As I noticed that the numbers were dropping I started to make my way back up to the front of the camp where I felt both Kiyoko and Benimaru's chakra and seen the smoke billowing up into the sky coming from.
'I suppose I should go over there and see if they need any help at all dealing with the people in the front.
Sprinting up to the front of the camp there was a sudden fluctuation of chakra near me that caused my head to snap to the right and, on instinct, did a back bend that allowed me to dodge 3 incoming kunai that were posed to hit me right in the head.
"Impressive reactions but it's all futile anyway, you wont be able to survive for much longer." I stared at him for a solid 5 seconds debating what to do before turning and flickering back towards my comrades faster then he could process.
"How fast is that kid?" The bandit asked himself bewilderedly as he chased after me.
'This could be a good team exercise and battle for us. The only person that we've really been fighting as a group is Hanzo-sensei but we known that he's never going to kill us so I feel like we don't get as much experience that way. He does have elite chunin chakra so maybe he'll put up a good fight against us.'
Arriving at the place where my teammates were I called out "Formation C!"
Their bodies were moving before they realized what was happening and now we had this chunin stuck in a combination of a semicircle and triangle.
"Cute formation, it's not going to help you here though, I'm afraid. What could 3 fresh genins do against me?" The chunin sneered at us
