Naruto: Chronicles of A Fire Ninja

Chapter 59: Bandit extermination part-1

"What, now you even have the Sharingan?" Ryota reacted similarly to Yomi, as it was the first time he noticed Kaida's Sharingan. During the mission, he had been focused on saving hostages and later on the safety of his friends.

Due to Kaida's eyes already being red, Ryota had missed his Sharingan during the mission.

"Kaida, I think you should stop showing off your Sharingan if you don't want to deal with the Uchiha clan for now," Yukihiro said after appearing.

Everyone stood up after hearing Yukihiro's voice.

"Yes, Sensei," Kaida replied.

"I called you all because I want to discuss something. I applied for a one-week break for our team because I thought you guys would require that much time to learn those jutsus. But since you've already learned them, we have two choices: we can take a three-day break, or we can start taking missions immediately. What do you guys want?"

Everyone looked at each other, and with a smile, Kaida said, "Let's start taking missions, Sensei. We're ready for it."

"Well, I was expecting that. Okay, we'll start doing missions now. Ryota and Yomi, be prepared. This time, you two will also have your first kill," Yukihiro said.

"Yes, Sensei," both of them replied.

"Okay then, I'll go and take a mission. Meet me at the village gate in one hour, and don't forget to make the necessary preparations."

Yukihiro said this and then used the Wind Instantaneous Movement Jutsu.

Since none of them had used any supplies from their storage seals other than nutrient bars, they simply replenished those and headed towards the village gate.

After an hour, Yukihiro arrived as well.

"Are you guys ready?"

"Yes, Sensei."

"Then let's go. I've taken a bandit extermination mission. We'll reach the location in one day at full speed."

"Sensei, we can use Movement Jutsu to get there," Ryota suggested.

"No, Ryota. We have a limited amount of chakra. If you waste your chakra like that, you won't have enough when you need it the most. The reason I taught you Body Flicker Jutsu was so you could use it in emergencies."

"Okay, Sensei," Ryota said.

"Let's go."

They all started running towards the mission location, with Yukihiro leading. After running for six hours, they took a break near a brook for one hour before resuming their journey and arriving at the location before sunset.

Ten kilometers away from the bandit camp, Yukihiro spoke. "We'll rest for now and attack in the morning." He saw that everyone on his team was out of breath, including himself.

"We have information that there's a bandit camp in the forest ahead, but we don't know its exact location. Our first goal is to find the camp. Ryota and Kiba will be responsible for that, but they can't search the whole forest alone. So, make five shadow clones each and search for any traces of bandits. Once you find them, let Ryota and Kiba know. Also, don't engage in a fight with the bandits alone, even if you find their location. They're like rats, and once they run away, it'll become very difficult to find them."

Everyone nodded and started making shadow clones. Since they only needed to make five shadow clones, Kaida decided to give them sufficient chakra to search for the entire night.

After sending their clones to search the forest, they set up a tent and took some rest.

...

While they were resting, one of Kaida's clones found two people heading deep into the forest. Suspecting them to be bandits, the clone started following them silently.
