Heading outside with elder Wu he saw three men one was a big, burly man with a club and two slim guys on either side of him. So these must be the bandits the elder mentioned earlier. So old man you got our money or do we have to get rough said the man with the club in a harsh voice. P-please I beg you spare us we do not have the money to pay, it was a bad year for us Wu pleaded. Ha, sounds like excuses to me but if thats they case how about we just rummage around and see what we find. Naruto was at wits end, hey leave the elder be!

Oh, the club man said with raised brows. This your grandson here I assume? Not wasting a second he replied instantly with a yes. He is merely a boy I hope you could forgive his insolence he bowed. Ha your lucky Im such a understanding and friendly guy or else I beat both you and the boy here blue. Many thanks elder Wu bowed even deeper. The three men made their way to the hut before the boy called out for them to stop.

Huh? What was that kid could you repeat that. I said stop and leave these people alone you boar! They all sat in silence with the two slim guys in shock of what they called the leader. Grr you dam brat you should know when to hold your tongue!! Then why don't you make me then Naruto countered? Looking to the elder he smilingly told him not to worry and that he would take them down.

I hope you're prepared for me to send ya to the afterlife! I hope your ready for me to roast you up boar Naruto countered.A tick grew on his head he was beyond pissed and raising his club he struck at Naruto. Big talk now die! Whoosh. The club missed his head as he dodged effortlessly and turning to face the two slim men running at him with daggers he pulled out his kunai. Clang...clang...clang. They exchanged blows, but Naruto quickly gained the upper hand disarming both and knocking them out with a blow to the neck.

Hmmph seems you are skilled somewhat the boar man said. Going back to their fight consisting of Naruto dodging the club and hitting him here and their whenever the opening arouse. Seeing at how slippery he was being, the blonde was driving him even further into a rage. Stay still you brat! Slamming his club down on Naruto head he was happy till a poof of smoke revealed a log. What?

Taking the opportunity Naruto struck him in the back of the knee instantly dropping him to the ground and promptly kicked him in the face launching him a few feet. Panting the man struggled as he got up. Y-you I will tell the big bro on you!! Running off just as fast he arrived leaving both the slim men, Naruto lest out a sigh of relief. Elder wu was speechless he never thought the child before him could defeat them much less drive them off.

Thank you, but you must hurry and leave the man who left mentioned telling his brother he is dangerous. Elder Wu I sincerely thank you for your genuine concern but I cant let you kind people be bullied by them. Such a selfless boy thought the elder. What should we do with these two he said pointing at slim men still passed out. Tie them up I will see if I can find their hideout when they wake up the blonde said in a scary tone.

It was awhile before they awoke and Naruto promptly got to work on info gathering. With a little motivation he found out the bandits had a camp a little way up the mountain as well as how many. In grand total their were 15 minus the two here so it naturally made things a little easier. He also found out about their leader, a intelligent man named Tozoku but nothing else was known about him. Swiftly gathering his wits he set out for the bandit camp and informed the others to wait for his return.

Bandit camp:

Brother Tozoku, Brother Tozoku! What is it the man said with a fierce scowl. I was down in the village to get tribute earlier, but I ran into an issue. Oh? Is all the man said. He told the story of what happened and how he was beaten by a kid. Hahaha. B-brother? No-no its nothing sorry but It just not something you would expect to hear. Finished laughing his face turned serious with a cold stare that sent shivers down the boar mans spine. What should we do brother, do we take the others to the village and torch it? No, I believe this kid of yours will come to find us, so we just need to wait. nodding he went to tell the others in the camp about the plan.
