Renjiro looked at Fujin and said, "Fujin, make a couple of shadow clones and a dozen wind clones. Examine the dead bodies, and take anything valuable they have." 

He tossed a few storage scrolls at Fujin while speaking, "Store the dead bodies of the ninjas in these scrolls." 

Fujin nodded and made the clones, who immediately got to work. Renjiro himself made a couple of Shadow clones and a few Mud clones, who began doing the same in the mud river. 

He looked at Hoka and Mieko and said, "You two should learn Earth clone jutsu later. Once your chakra reserves grow, learn shadow clone jutsu. Both will be very helpful." 

Mieko and Hoka nodded, "Yes Sensei." 

While the bandits, valuables, and dead bodies were being cleared, they moved towards the hiding merchants and asked them to come out. The merchants sighed in relief and stopped hiding between their goods and rock shields. However, when they came out, they were shocked looking at the condition of the hills and forest around the area. They were also disturbed by the dead bodies and blood around them. 

Iha Tosio walked to Renjiro and requested, "Renjiro-sama, can we please move away from here soon?" 

Renjiro replied, "We need some time to rest. We will move soon. You guys can get ready to move." 

Hearing that, all the merchants immediately began to prepare to move. 

Renjiro looked at Hoka and said, "Take your shirt off." Hoka took his shirt off, and Renjiro disinfected the cut on his chest and wrapped it in bandages. 

Fujin's clones first checked the ninjas from the 1st wave. They didn't have anything valuable as all their scrolls were destroyed by Fujin's first attack. Next, they checked and sealed all the genin and Masato. The genins didn't have much. Masato, on the other hand, had a lot of Ryo and weapons. Next, they checked the chunins and Tomio. They all had a decent amount of money and weapons. Tomio also had a scroll that listed some Water Release jutsus and another scroll explaining the mission parameters. 

Fujin's shadow clone quickly skimmed through the Water jutsu scroll. However, at the end of it, he was disappointed, 'I thought I'd get lucky and get some op jutsu. Unfortunately, these all are rather lame. I can probably get them all from the library.'

Next, he went through the mission scroll, understanding what exactly their mission was. He was surprised, 'These guys sent 5 teams of similar size to intercept all 5 squads that were sent from Konoha? Aren't they a little too courageous? Also, how the fuck could they enter into the land of Fire so easily? And that too without being detected?'

Fujin sighed at the state of Konoha and Land of Fire, 'If all countries have such a weak border force, even I won't have any difficulty in moving around. No wonder the Akatsuki were pretty unobstructed. I thought it was a testimony to their power, but it seems like even a genin wouldn't have much of an issue.'

In around 10 minutes, Fujin and Renjiro were done. Renjiro's clones were also done cleaning up the bandits and dispersed. Renjiro then sorted all the gains and said, "Not bad. We got over 1.6 million Ryo, 500 shurikens and 100 kunais." 

He stored everything in his scroll and said, "I'll divide the weapons equally among us. The money, half will be given to the village, remaining will be divided among us in the same way as we divide the mission rewards. 

Hoka and Mieko didn't care about money, so they just nodded. Fujin didn't care much either, but thought, 'Wow! 1.6 million Ryo just from one fight? No wonder so many ninjas go rogue.'

The merchants too heard what Renjiro said. They were shocked, 'He got so much money just with a few minutes of fighting! We risk our lives travelling from one country to another, and don't even make half that amount! Not to mention, we have to split it between twice the people.'
