Chapter 12: Don't you think you're a bit of a pervert

At this time, Kakashi had already finished dealing with the remaining bandits, leaving only those women who had been forcibly snatched.

Looking at Uchiha Sakukaze's unfulfilled expression, and then looking at the second-in-command who had fallen to the ground and was dead but still very embarrassed, Kakashi's expression under the mask was truly a bit subtle.

Thinking again about the bandits he had just killed, not one of them died without knowing it in the Genjutsu.

Without exception, every bandit was awake before death.

Kakashi didn't think these bandits could break free from the Illusion at the last moment, nor did he think Uchiha Sakukaze couldn't control those guys.

Then there was only one truth, and that was that Uchiha Sakukaze actively released the Illusion cast on the bandits at the last moment.

Was doing this to save chakra and maintain his state? Kakashi didn't believe it.

Constantly maintaining attention, releasing the Genjutsu on the opponent a second before Kakashi made his move, was absolutely a more mentally and physically exhausting thing.

The reason Uchiha Sakukaze did this was either to use these bandits to kill him, Kakashi, or to satisfy Sakukaze's own perverted hobby.

Killing Kakashi like this was unrealistic; although Sakukaze's mouth was a bit poisonous, Kakashi knew that as a companion, Sakukaze was still very reliable.

Then the reason could only be to satisfy Sakukaze's own perverted hobby.

Enduring for a long time, Kakashi still couldn't help but complain:

"I say Sakukaze, don't you feel that you're a bit of a pervert?"

Hearing Kakashi evaluate him like this, Sakukaze felt that his good mood from just absorbing a large amount of resentment energy was destroyed.

Kakashi, who hadn't experienced a great change, although not cold, this mouth that was poisonous from time to time was truly hurtful.

He, Uchiha Sakukaze, relied on his own efforts to become one of the Konoha Twin Stars, a genius ninja of the Uchiha Clan, an excellent junior, and an inheritor of the Will of Fire; where was he a pervert?

"Kakashi, if you know how to talk, say more; if you don't know how to talk, shut your mouth. You're more pleasing to the eye when you don't talk than when you do.

What's called a pervert? A righteous youth like me being called a pervert by you, I think you should go to the hospital to check your eyes; how did you go blind at such a young age?

Do you know what I'm doing? I'm avenging the innocent people who died tragically at the hands of these bastards.

For guys like them who have no bottom line, dying in ignorance is simply letting them off too easily."

Glaring at Kakashi speechlessly, Sakukaze was trying hard to save his image.

Kakashi was very speechless at this moment; he knew that Sakukaze absolutely wasn't as selfless as he said, after all, who would reveal a comfortable smile after torturing someone for no reason, and there was neither a murder-father-enemy relationship with himself, nor a wife-stealing-enemy relationship.

But Kakashi also had to admit that Sakukaze seemed to have a point.

However, Kakashi wasn't someone who would get tangled up; Kakashi didn't have the leisure to deliberately poke holes in Sakukaze's logic.

Since Sakukaze said so, then let's just treat it as the truth.

"Let's just treat it as that, you arrange these women, I'll go search to see if there are any fish that slipped through the net."

Shrugging his shoulders noncommittally, Kakashi said to Sakukaze in a low voice.

After saying that, Kakashi held his short blade and touched toward the bandit's base camp.

Sakukaze, who had already gained a lot, didn't care about the resentment energy that might be provided by the fish that slipped through the net.

After all, one must be content; the harvest just now was already enough to top Sakukaze's harvest of more than a month in the Ninja Academy before.

So regarding the division of labor proposed by Kakashi, Sakukaze didn't say much.

Looking at the poor women who were still trapped in the illusion, Sakukaze lightly formed a seal, instantly freeing them from the illusion.

The women who were shivering just now saw the blood and corpses all over the ground the moment they were freed from the Genjutsu.

Not reacting, they subconsciously let out terrified screams.

But when they saw the situation around them clearly, the terror on their faces had already faded.

What remained was only the joy of revenge, and deep gratitude.

Although they didn't know the process just now, they understood that their great revenge had been avenged.

Although the one who caused all this seemed to be just a six or seven-year-old child standing in a pool of blood, so what?

The headband tied on Sakukaze's head proved his identity as a ninja, and a ninja, even if just an ordinary low-ranking ninja from the Ninja Academy, had terrifying lethality when facing ordinary people.

In the world of ordinary people, the strength of a ninja had long been the representative of absolute power; even if a ninja did anything that didn't conform to common sense, it was normal in the eyes of ordinary people.

A six or seven-year-old ninja child holding a knife and slaughtering a bandit's stronghold, so what? Can a ninja child be the same as an ordinary child?

Especially in chaotic times, the powerful image of a ninja in the hearts of ordinary people would be invisibly raised by who knows how much.

These women were all ordinary people, and their experiences didn't allow them to think about so many things.

Being able to kill the bandits on the mountain and avenge them was enough to win all their respect and gratitude, so who cared what kind of person this object was?

"How are you all, is your body okay? Can you go home?"

Facing a group of pitiful yet somewhat ferocious-looking women, Sakukaze asked in a low voice. In his tone, there was a gentleness that was usually difficult to manifest.

If Kakashi were still here, he would definitely be shocked by this.

Sakukaze, who never acted like a human, never had this kind of approachable expression and tone in the past; besides being gentle to those female classmates, it was already good enough not to threaten or intimidate others.

Unfortunately, Kakashi didn't know that Sakukaze actually had a heart that wanted to be a gentle gentleman.

But the pressure of reality and the threat to his life forced him to change his style of conduct.

Although after experiencing this kind of life, Sakukaze didn't dislike it and even liked it.

Well, of course, Uchiha Sakukaze himself would absolutely not admit to this kind of thing.

On the other side, after hearing Sakukaze's inquiry, the women looked at each other, and finally, Chizi, the daughter of the village head, took the initiative to stand out and answer Sakukaze's inquiry as a representative.

"Ninja-sama, thank you for your concern, we were just snatched up the mountain, our bodies are fine.

However, we no longer have a home. Our entire village was slaughtered by the mountain bandits; except for us, there were no survivors."

Speaking to the end, the young girl Chizi couldn't help but reveal deep sorrow and confusion in her eyes. ===== CHAPTER 13 =====
