"Yo-ho, these Grass ninjas are laughing quite happily."
Even from a great distance, Kaze could faintly hear the laughter in the distance. He wondered what they were chatting about.
"Well, it's not bad. Being able to pass away happily is also a beautiful way to go."
One, two, three...
Kaze activated the Explosive Tag in his hand and patiently started counting down.
In the anime, ninjas are very honorable. Every time they use an Explosive Tag, they would give the others time to react.
And the opponents are also very cooperative. Every time, they would shout, "No good, it's an Explosive Tag!" and then barely dodge it.
Kaze thought this was very bad. It was not at all ninja-like.
"About time, charge!"
Suddenly, Kaze tensed and exerted force on the muscles of his calf. In an instant, he shot out of the Jungle like a big black rat.
"Who's there?" The chatting Grass ninjas were startled and started to lift their clothes.
"Zumgren!"
In the blink of an eye, Kaze had rushed within a hundred steps, while the Grass ninjas had just barely drawn their weapons.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
During his charge, Kaze directly made a stylish turn and threw out all the Kunai in his hand.
Clang.
A Grass ninja drew his steel knife from his waist, intending to deflect the incoming Kunai. Suddenly, his face changed greatly.
"No good, it's the... "
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The moment the Grass ninjas reacted, all four Explosive and Poisonous Kunai exploded.
Bang!
That unlucky ninja who drew his knife to cut the Kunai was instantly blown away by the terrifying impact force.
All the way, bloody pieces of meat were scattered on the ground. No one knew what they were.
Brother Knife, tough and fearless!
The other Kunai exploded beside the Grass ninjas, affecting all the Grass ninjas present.
However, except for two who were slow to dodge and died, the remaining five only suffered some injuries.
"Damn it!"
With their comrades down, the Grass ninjas clenched the knives in their hands and glared angrily at Kaze.
They didn't notice at all that some purple dust was quietly spreading with the explosion.
"Whoa! Death is like the wind, always by my side!"
Having achieved a successful strike, Kaze directly turned around and ran without hesitation.
"Hakku yarou! You three watch the supplies. Ogawa, come with me!"
With red - eyed fury, Tora made the arrangement and then, without hesitation, chased after the murderer who had killed his comrade.
"Uncle Tora, wait for me. Be careful of a trap!" Ogawa followed closely behind.
"Hehe, luring two of them is not bad."
Kaze looked back and deliberately slowed down, afraid that the two behind him couldn't catch up.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three of them entered the forest one after another and started a wild chase.
The trees beside them kept receding. After estimating that the distance was about right, Kaze turned around and stopped in his tracks.
Seeing Kaze stop, Tora also stopped cautiously.
He pointed his knife at Kaze and asked indignantly, "Who are you? Why are you trying to kill us?!"
Kaze thought for a moment and said seriously, "My name is Tanjirou. My family was destroyed. I'm 15 years old and a member of the Demon Slayer Corps."
"Uncle Tora!"
At this time, Ogawa also caught up. He drew his long sword and panted as he fought with Tora.
"Since everyone is here, let's begin." Kaze showed a strange smile.
"What... What do you mean? Stop being so mysterious!"
Kaze's smile made Ogawa a little scared. He waved his long - sword, appearing brave on the outside but actually timid inside.
Tora said seriously, "Ogawa, this guy is probably not simple. Be careful!"
"Okay, don't worry. It'll all be over soon." Kaze said with a smile.
Sharingan!
Then, the scarlet light shone. Tora and Ogawa's faces slowly became dull.
Three slowly rotating ink - colored tomoe grew larger and larger in their eyes, gradually taking over their minds.
"Phew..."
After some hypnosis, Kaze learned the intelligence he wanted from the two of them.
"The defense of Grass Ninja Village is even worse than I thought. In that case..."
Kaze immediately made a decision. He opened the system interface and selected Option 4.
[Cause a ruckus in Kusagakure Village and teach them a lesson they'll never forget. Completion reward: Fire Release: Blast Wave Wild Dance.]
He chose this option. One reason was that he liked the reward, and the other was that he liked a saying of Confucius from his hometown.
A gentleman needs to be stern; otherwise, he won't gain respect.
"Um, my eyes are a bit uncomfortable." Kaze rubbed his temples and felt his eyes were dry.
But it made sense. After all, it was his first time. It was normal to feel unaccustomed and uncomfortable.
Clang.
Kaze drew his long sword and cut it down, giving the two of them a quick end.
"Happy little sparrows sleeping bare on the telegraph poles~"
After dealing with the bodies with a set of Fire Release and Wind Release techniques, Kaze hummed a tune and started to return.
He returned to the crime scene.
All the grass ninjas had been dealt with by his teammates. Only a carriage was left there.
"Master, come and see what's inside." Ayako pointed to the carriage and said.
"Oh?" Kaze opened the carriage curiously. With Ayako's support, he leaned in and took a look.
"Goodness, so many supplies!" Kaze was shocked.
The Kusagakure Village actually sent eight Genin to transport so many supplies. They were really bold!
If it were in Konoha, at least a Jonin team would be sent to escort them!
The four of them moved the carriage elsewhere, and Yuto used his Earth Release specialty to hide the supplies and the carriage in a deep pit, waiting to dig them out after the mission.
As for the horse, Kaze used his Fire Release specialty to turn it into tonight's side dish.
Yuto took a sip of the small drink, smacked his lips contentedly, and then patted Minato on the shoulder beside him.
"This afternoon, we gathered a lot of intelligence. Minato, go ahead and report."
"Sure, Senior Yuto." Minato nodded slightly and began his report.
"...Grass Ninja Village has received support from Iwagakure. They've sent out quite a few Ninja to transport the supplies provided by Iwagakure."
"...The defense of Grass Ninja Village is weak, and there are far fewer Ninja on perimeter guard than before..."
After Minato finished his report, Ayako looked at Kaze and asked, "My young master, what should we do next?"
Kaze swallowed the meat in his mouth, grinned, and said, "In my view, let's sneak into Grass Ninja Village and make a big move."
"Oh?" Yuto instantly put down his wine flask and sat upright. Minato also showed a look of interest.
"Exactly." Kaze didn't beat around the bush and started sharing his plan with the others.
"There are three significant buildings in Grass Ninja Village. First is the Village Headman's building, second is their ninja hospital, and third is their storage center."
"If we can..."
