Chapter 124: Chapter 122 : Overkill
[A/N : Hey guys. This chapter is Sponsored by zero1995. You can thank him for the Saturday release.]
Hoka and Mieko looked into each other's eyes. Though Fujin severed her legs, Chou was still alive. Their competitive spirits rose and both wanted the killing hit. They immediately moved towards Chou.
Mieko attacked with shurikens and kunais with Explosion Tags while Hoka attacked with Vacuum Palm. Fujin noticed both his teammates and attacked too. He swung his sword vertically, sending a flying slash aiming at splitting her in two vertically.
Renjiro, who was looking at his students with pride, was suddenly dumbfounded! He thought in his mind, 'She has already lost her legs. We can capture her and get information from her. Why do you want to kill her so badly?'
The 8 other chunins who were looking were also dumbfounded at how aggressive the 3 kids were. Chou also watched with wide eyes. She may have lost her team and her legs, but she didn't want to die.
She made a few hand signs quickly. She encased herself within the Water Prison jutsu.
Hoka's attack reached first. It pierced into the Water Prison. But Chou moved backwards within the water prison and the attack passed harmlessly through the water prison.
Mieko's attacks hit next. The shurikens were blocked by the water, but the explosion created some disturbances. However, the Water Prison jutsu still held.
Fujin's slash arrived last. It easily cut the water prison in two. However, Chou moved to one side of the water prison to avoid getting hit. The winds accompanying the slash were also dulled by the water.
However, the slash finally dispelled the water prison jutsu. Chou fell on the ground in a bad way. Despite her horrible state, she still got up with the help of her hands. Fujin, Hoka, and Mieko were about to make a move when Renjiro flickered right behind her.
He hit the back of her head and knocked her unconscious. He looked at his students and said, "If you can take them hostage, in a convenient situation, do that. Don't go for the kill just for being competitive!"
That immediately made his students feel embarrassed! They didn't reply and moved forward. The 5 chunins who were hiding also came out as the fight was over.
The 7 chunins who arrived later felt a bit embarrassed as they didn't contribute anything. Most of the work was done by kids less than half their age. Only Hotaka smiled thinking, 'Now they will know how I felt!'
They all observed Chou. She was lying unconscious on her frontside. Her legs were severed. They were bleeding a lot. There were many cuts on her thighs and abdomen. Her clothes were almost non-existent.
Renjiro opened a scroll and summoned a seal from it. He put the seal on Chou's back and made a hand sign. The seal immediately spread on her entire body.
Fujin looked at it and asked, "Is this Chakra Suppression Seal?"
Renjiro nodded and said, "Yes. When she wakes up, she won't be able to access her chakra until I or a Seal Master removes it."
Fujin saw Chou's chakra getting sealed while thinking, 'I thought only Jiraiya made these for Naruto... I guess he just made an advanced one as normal ones might not work on Jinchurikis.'
Renjiro looked at the patrol teams and asked, "Are any of you a medical ninja?"
A ninja stepped forward and said, "Yes, I can use Mystical Palm jutsu."
Renjiro moved aside and said, "Stop her bleeding."
The medical ninja moved forward and used Mystical Palm jutsu on her wounds. Since there were a lot of cuts on her body, he needed quite some time to heal her. After stopping the bleeding, he bandaged her body.
While he was healing her, Mieko asked Renjiro, "Sensei, since we aren't injured, we can undertake the next part of the mission too, right?"
Hoka and Fujin immediately looked at Renjiro. Renjiro nodded and said, "Yes. We will take a rest tomorrow to recover our chakra. Then we will move towards the Land of Hot Water on the day after tomorrow."
Mieko grinned on hearing that. Most Chunins never get to go on a Rank A mission. However, she would have 3 under her belt! Hoka and Fujin smiled as well. Fighting against real ninjas was a lot more fun as compared to bandits.
Renjiro looked at his happy students and said, "For now, store their bodies."
They nodded and stored the bodies of the 3 dead ninjas. After storing, they handed all the scrolls to Renjiro, who stored them all in one single scroll.
After the medical ninja was done healing Chou, Renjiro asked, "How long will she be out?"
The medical ninja thought for a bit and replied, "She has lost a lot of blood. She will be out for at least a few hours."
Renjiro thought for a bit and said, "Alright. Carry her to the command outpost. We will come along with you."
He nodded and lifted Chou and put her on his back.
The 12 Konoha ninjas ran back towards the outpost where they met Akimichi Seiichi. On reaching the outpost, Renjiro looked at one of the chunins and said, "Call Seiichi back here."
The chunin nodded and left.
Renjiro looked at the Medical ninja who was carrying Chou and said, "Restrain her to a chair. And Gag her so that she doesn't try to kill herself by biting her tongue."
The medical ninja nodded and entered the outpost. After a few minutes, Seiichi returned to the outpost as well along with 3 other ninjas.
Seiichi looked at Renjiro thinking, 'Why are they back so quickly?'
He looked at Renjiro and asked, "Did you find any of them?"
Renjiro nodded and replied, "Yes. Both intruding squads have been dealt with. The one with the 6 members is all dead. And we took the commanding jounin from the 2nd squad as a prisoner. The remaining are dead."
Seiichi was shocked on hearing that! An Inuzuka chunin standing behind him blurted in disbelief, "No Way! We have been hunting them for over 2 days and didn't manage to do anything at all! How did you neutralize them in under 2 hours?"
Renjiro and his students glared at the chunin who said that. Realizing his mistake, he quickly said, "Apologies, I didn't mean that."
Renjiro ignored him. Seiichi looked at his subordinate and thought, 'What he said was improper. Except, I was going to say the same thing! I can understand Renjiro annihilating one squad. But how were both neutralized so soon?'
Renjiro smirked noticing his former teammate's expression. He handed him a scroll and said, "It contains the dead bodies of those 9 ninjas. The last one is restrained inside."
Seiichi sighed and took the scroll. He said in a defeated tone, "Even at this age you continue to surprise me."
Renjiro laughed and replied, "Well, in this case, it was mostly my students. Anyways, my students are tired. Can you make sleeping arrangements for them?"
Seiichi nodded and looked at one of his subordinates. The subordinate immediately made sleeping arrangements for the trio. Fujin, Hoka, and Mieko all ate a few ration bars and fell asleep. They had rushed a long distance and fought 2 battles on the same day!
