"What, now you even have the Sharingan?" Ryota reacted simirly to Yomi, as it was the first time he noticed Kaida's Sharingan. During the mission, he had been focused on saving hostages and ter 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 for now," Yukihiro said after appearing.

  Everyoood 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 learhem, we have two choices: we take a three-day break, or we 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 expeg 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 missio me at the vilge gate in one hour, and don't fet to make the necessary preparations."

  Yukihiro said this and thehe Wind Instantaneous Movement Jutsu.

  Sinone of them had used any supplies from their ste seals other than nutrient bars, they simply replehose and headed towards the vilge gate.

  After an hour, Yukihiro arrived as well.

  "Are you guys ready?"

  "Yes, Sensei."

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

  "Sensei, we 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 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 su.

  Ten kilometers away from the bandit camp, Yukihiro spoke. "We'll rest for now and atta the m." 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 't search the whole forest alone. So, make five shadow es ead 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 ohey run away, it'll bee very difficult to find them."

  Everyone nodded and started making shadow es. Sihey only o make five shadow es, Kaida decided to give them suffit chakra to search for the entire night.

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

  …

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

  After following them for two hours, the e reached a normal-looking cave where both individuals entered. Kaida's e used Earth Release: Earth Military Movement Teique to go underground and search the cave for bandits.

  The findings surprised the e. The cave was filled to the brim with bandits. It was a very rge cave with maions. After searg the cave, the e discovered that there were 30 bandits inside.

  The e dispersed itself, and Kaida received the e's memories.

  "Sensei, I found the location of the bandit camp. One of my es spotted some bandits heading back to their camp and followed them," Kaida reported.

  "Do you have any more information about the bandits?" Yukihiro asked.

  "Yes, Sehere are at least 30 bandits, and I didn't find any hostages there."

  "Good. We'll attack at 5 AM when there's enough light, and they'll still be drowsy from sleep," Yukihiro said.

  Everyone nodded in agreement, uanding the pn.

  They rested a bit more and then got ready for the mission.

  "This mission will be carried out by you guys. I'll only intervene if there's something you 't handle," Yukihiro stated.

  "Okay, Sensei."

  Kaida took the lead, and everyone arrived at the bandit camp.

  "Sihere might be some ninjas there, let's avoid direct frontation. We'll try to reduce their numbers first," Kaida suggested.

  "First, let's check for another exit in case we're discovered and they try to run," Ryota said.

  "Good idea," Yomi agreed.

  All three of them dispersed and searched for another exit from the cave. Kaida even made three es that used the Earth Release: Earth Military Movement Teique to search the cave from the inside for as.

  They found another exit half a kilometer away from the first one. Kaida used earth chakra manipution to seal the exit awo shadow es in case the bandits somehow mao unseal it.

  After that, everyouro the bandit camp.

  "Si's your first kill, don't worry. These guys fully deserve it," Kaida tried to sole them.

  "I know, bro. There's a thick smell of blood in this area; they've killed many people," Ryota said while Kiba growled.

  Yomi listeo this and steeled her resolve to kill.

  Everyo ready. Just as they were about to attack, Ryota spoke up.

  "Guys, two people are ing out of the cave."

  "That's great. Let them e," Kaida said with a smile.

  When the bandits came out of the cave and reached 100 meters away from the exit, Ryota used ah Bullet, and Yomi used a Water Bullet to kill them.

  "Use Transformation Jutsu and kill as many as you silently," Kaida instructed.

  Ryota and Yomi used Transformation Jutsu and transformed into bandits. They ehe cave and reached the first room.

  "Hey, why did you e back so early? Where's the alcohol you were supposed t?" one of the bandits asked.

  "We left our money here," Ryota replied.

  Hahaha.

  Everyoarted ughing.

  "Since when do we need moo get things?" one of the bandits asked while ughing.

  Yomi realized the situation was getting worse and shouted, "Hey, what's that on the wall?" All four bandits turowards the wall.

  She quickly took out four shurikens and threw them at the bandits' necks. All three of them dropped dead without being able to say anything.

  "Sorry," Ryota said.

  After that, they tio kill bandits from the shadows using shuriken and kunai, ensuring the bandits didn't have a ake any noise. When they killed the 12th bandit, the others noticed and alerted the entire camp.

  Realizing their ce to kill silently was ruihey dispelled their Transformation Jutsu and used Body Flicker Jutsu to exit the cave.

  "They're alerted. We only mao kill 12 of them," Yomi informed Kaida.

  "That's great. Let them e out. Prepare your le jutsus," Kaida said and made 10 shadow es.

  Yomi and Ryota prepared their Water ah Bullet Jutsus.

  After a minute, when the bandits thought the attackers had fled, they decided to pursue them. All 18 bandits came out of the cave. Kaida's es had already prepared Wind Bde Jutsu and unched 10 wind bdes from different dires toward the bandits while Ryota and Yomi also attacked.

  All 17 of the bandits died before they could prehend what was happening, but one of them used the Substitution Jutsu to evade the attack.

  Everyone realized he was a ninja. Yukihiro also prepared to assist.
