While these events were unfolding in Konoha, Kaida was fog on solidifying his knowledge.(Just after Shisui departed for Konoha)
"Let's get moving, boy, because from what I see, you don't have much time. As soon as they make preparations for using this situation to its full potential, your brother will e back to take you to your home," Minoru said.
"Okay, Uncle," Kaida replied as both of them went out of the base and headed in the dire of the bandit camps.
Kaida had taken a total of four bandit extermination missions because they were all very close to each other, only 10-15 km apart from one another.
The reason for this was simple - they were he vilges which were ected to the sea, due to which they had bee a hub for merts to stop befoing to different pces in the Fire try.
The bandits decided to set up their bases around the various routes those merts would take, sihis was the most profitable pce for bandits.
There were many bases present within a small area. Konoha had not taken any a until now because those bandits didn't cause many problems.
They were just taking some proteoney from merts before allowing them to proceed.
But tely, they had been going out of trol, killing the mert caravans and looting their supplies.
This may have been the work of other vilges si would greatly affect the ey of the Fire try if the sea route for merts was not safe. That's why this mission was given priority, though there was a ce that those who took these missions may fae enemy ninjas.
However, the ces of fag someone of Jonin rank were low sinone of the enemy vilges would take the risk of sending their Jonin to the remote parts of the Fire try from where running would be impossible.
And someone of in rank was no problem for Kaida at all, who could easily hold his ground against a Jonin.
When Kaida and Minoru came out of the base, Minoru suddenly disappeared. Even when Kaida tried to activate his Sharingan to find him, he was uo sense Minoru with the help of his Sharingan.
'He is better at hiding his chakra even when pared to brother. I wonder how strong a 13-year-old Itachi was to kill a of such powerful ninjas,' Kaida thought.
Then he tinued his jouro the bandits' base si was his request that Minoru would not interfere in his mission.
Kaida was happy that he was uo sense Minoru's presence.
After traveling for two hours while periodically using the Wind Instantaneous Movement Jutsu, Kaida reached the first bandits' base. Looking at it from a tree,
Kaida could easily see that there were 10 huts in this base with the ter one being the biggest, so it must be the one where the leader of those bandits lived.
Kaida silently waited at the tree while keeping a strict wat the base. As soon as he saw two bandits leaving the base and going toward the jungle, he quickly used the Body Flicker Jutsu and appeared in front of them.
Then, with the help of his Sharingan, he pced them under a genjutsu.
After which, he took both of them away from the base. After reag a safe distance, Kaida began to read the memories of both bandits. After firming that there were no captives in the camp, he sighed in relief, as this would make his task much easier.
Kaida thehe Chakra Scalpel and cut off the e between the tral nervous system and the brain of those bandits. Now, even if they came out of the genjutsu, they would be uo move a single part of their body, including their mouth.
He then made four shadow es ahem in all four dires surrounding the camp, so that none of those bandits could run away from the camp.
After all the preparations were done, Kaida used a Fireball Jutsu and made it as big as he could, then threw it at a little distance from the camp.
boom
Listening to the sound, all the bandits came out of their houses, only to find a teenage boy standing in front of the main gate of the camp.
Normally, they would have ughed after seeing a child daring to go against 15 bandits all alone. However, that boy was wearing a Konoha ninja uniform, and his hands were coated in blue chakra which was rotating just like a saw.
Now the story ged pletely - the boy in front of them was a ninja, and even a young ninja easily kill an adult. But sihey had an advantage in numbers, the chief gave his order,
"Bring that f**king boy in front of me. He should know that we are not some normal bandits any milk-sug brat mess with!"
Hearing the anger and authority in their leader's voice, all the bandits also came out of their fear and ran towards Kaida with their swords and axes in their hands.
Kaida just stood at the gate with his Chakra Scalpel activated in his hands. He activated his Sharingan and sliced the spine of the first bandit. But before he could scream in agony, Kaida used a genjutsu on him, making that bandit fall into a state of false a.
The same i happened with all the other bandits who tried to attack him. Since Kaida used the Chakra Scalpel, which didn't cause aernal injury, and then immediately used a genjutsu to make them shut their mouths, the morale of the bandits was high until the st of them fell uhe genjutsu.
If Kaida had allowed them to scream, all fourteen bandits would have been screaming their lungs out by now.
After defeating them, Kaida reached in front of the leader of the bandits. But he didn't use any jutsu to harm him. From the memories he read from those two bandits, Kaida came to know the crimes this f**ker had itted, ranging from killing many merts to raping many women in those caravans. He didn't even spare small children.
When the leader saw all of his subordinates falling on the ground with their eyes open and not moving, he easily guessed that he could not win against this boy in a fight. He then chose the sed-best option for his survival.
"I am sorry, sir. I couldn't reize you. Please spare my life. I will give you all my savings. I have more than 2 million Ryo with me," the leader said while lying on the ground in front of Kaida.
Kaida pulled his head up using his hair and looked directly into his eyes. All that bandit saw before falling unscious was two red eyes with two tomoe rotating in them.
