*Crack*
A crisp sound of bone cracking echoed.
Seii expressionlessly withdrew his hand from the head of a bandit, letting the corpse slowly fall to the ground.
*Exhale*
He let out a soft breath.
Turning his head, Seii looked at Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko, saying, "All the sentries have been taken care of. Next, act according to the plan, Shizuko."
"Yes."
Hearing Seii's call, Mizutani Shizuko unconsciously straightened her body.
"You watch the downhill path and take care of any stragglers." Seii instructed.
"Okay."
Although still a bit nervous, Mizutani Shizuko nodded seriously, indicating her understanding.
Then, Seii looked at Ryosuke and said, "Ryosuke, you and I will go up the mountain and eliminate those bandits."
"No problem."
Compared to Mizutani Shizuko, Ryosuke was much calr. Even though he was about to carry out a more dangerous task, he didn't show much fear.
What could he say?
He was indeed a child born in the ninja world, adapting so quickly.
Taking a deep look at him, Seii said, "Then let's start the operation!"
"Okay."
Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko nodded in agreent.
Seii imdiately rushed towards the mountain.
Ryosuke followed closely behind him.
Mizutani Shizuko stood in place for a while and then slipped into the dense forest, concealing her figure.
It had been three hours since they arrived at the Mount Xiaohei area. The first two hours were spent resting, and the last hour was used to clear out the sentries.
Now that the obstacles had been removed, it was ti to launch the final attack.
Well...
The term "final attack" seed a bit exaggerated.
From the mouths of those sentries, Seii had already learned that there were only about fifty people on the mountain in total, and now there were probably less than forty left alive.
This number of people, as long as there were no extraordinary beings, wouldn't pose much pressure on them. The only thing they needed to pay attention to was overcoming the psychological barrier.
Fortunately, both Seii and Ryosuke adapted quite well.
...
Under the moonlight.
Seii and Ryosuke stepped on rocks and branches, silently approaching the bandit camp.
Calling it a camp was an overstatent. It was just a wooden building with twenty or so wooden houses, and there wasn't even a wooden fence around it.
Seeing this crude camp, Seii finally understood why they had to send out so many sentries. They were afraid of death!
Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it. Seii made a few hand signals to Ryosuke, and the two of them moved towards the camp from the left and right.
The wooden building was the bandit leader's residence, located in the center of the camp. To avoid being surrounded, he and Ryosuke decided to start killing from the outskirts.
As long as they were fast enough, they didn't need to worry about alerting the enemy.
*Thud*
The sound of a blade piercing flesh rang out.
Inside a wooden house.
Seii covered the bandit's mouth with one hand and thrust the kunai into his chest with the other.
Suffering such a heavy blow, the bandit imdiately opened his eyes, first in confusion, then in pain, then in fear, and finally turning into a lifeless gray.
Seii stared at his eyes the whole ti, not avoiding or dodging, just watching quietly. He was forcing himself to accept and adapt to all of this.
Before he had the ability to change the world, he could only learn to adapt. Only by adapting to the rules of the ninja world could he survive better.
*Exhale*
He let out a soft breath and, after confirming the target's death, left the wooden house.
This wooden house was on the outermost edge. Both its location and the house itself were the worst, so naturally, only one person lived there.
Therefore, Seii didn't need to worry about alarming others.
Standing outside and observing carefully for a while, Seii once again chose a similar wooden house and cautiously approached it.
After observing through the crack in the door for a while and confirming that there was only one person inside, Seii pried open the door with a kunai and slipped in.
A mont later, Seii ca out.
Things went smoothly. The person inside was still asleep when he slit his throat.
Afterward, using the sa thod, Seii, like a grim reaper, went in and out of the wooden houses, harvesting the lives inside, the entire process silent.
If it could continue like this, it would save a lot of trouble.
Unfortunately, things didn't always go according to plan.
Just as he ended the tenth person's life, a terrified scream echoed throughout the camp.
Seii's movents paused slightly, and then he finished off the life under his hand even more swiftly.
Then, with a flash, he ca outside the house and looked in the direction of the sound.
He saw a bandit clutching his neck rushing out of the house, shouting while running, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
However, before he could shout a few more words, a figure chased him out from the house. It was none other than Ryosuke.
He saw Ryosuke sprinting, reaching behind the bandit, and then thrusting a kunai into his back.
The bandit's voice abruptly stopped.
Despite this, the entire camp beca agitated.
Seii could vaguely hear faint noises coming from those wooden houses.
After a brief thought, Seii ca to a wooden house and kicked the door, shattering it.
Taking advantage of the two people inside not yet understanding the situation, he rushed in and quickly ended their lives.
Then, he rushed out of the wooden house, ca to another one, and did the sa, killing the bandits inside.
Not only him, but Ryosuke also no longer concealed his figure, aiming to kill as many enemies as possible in the shortest ti.
Just like that, when the chaos subsided, only twelve bandits were left in the camp.
The bandit leader looked at the remaining eleven gathered around him with an extrely unsightly expression.
*Footsteps*
Footsteps approached.
Seii and Ryosuke walked out from the houses on the left and right.
Looking at the headbands on their heads, a bandit shouted in terror, "They're ninjas! We've been targeted by ninjas. We're finished, we're finished..."
Obviously, the Shinobi World War not only involved the major ninja villages but also countless ordinary people.
Perhaps in peaceti, these bandits wouldn't have recognized Seii and Ryosuke's ninja identities, but after the baptism of the Shinobi World War, they imdiately recognized them.
Not only that, but they also had so understanding of the terror of ninjas.
*Slap*
A crisp slap sounded.
"Bah, nonsense."
The bandit leader slapped the terrified bandit in the face, spat, and glared at Seii and Ryosuke, saying fiercely, "What are you afraid of? They're just two brats. Let's all go together. I don't believe we can't kill them."
With that, he was about to lead the charge.
However, at this mont, Seii flipped his hands, and six shuriken appeared between his fingers.
The next mont, the shuriken flew out.
The bandit leader still wanted to dodge, but lv2 'Weapon Throwing' was no joke.
If it were a ninja, they might be able to avoid vital points or block, but a re bandit leader didn't have such skills.
So, the bandit leader had just taken half a step when he fell straight to the ground.
"Ah~, the boss is dead!"
"Everyone, run!"
Soone shouted, and the eleven bandits imdiately scattered, running in all directions.
Seii and Ryosuke exchanged glances and each chased after the fleeing bandits, leaving only the ones running towards the downhill path.
