Chapter 12: Just Some Bandits
While Sasuke was suspended Naruto also didn't go to the academy because Hokage and the current teachers thought it would be for the best as it won't even put a hindrance to his studies. So Naruto & Sasuke were training regularly hoping that they would graduate early.
Naruto & Sasuke were now proficient in chakra control sending through their body. Sasuke can now use it as a full body armor against punches and kicks and Naruto can use it protect his vital organs as well enhance his punches and kicks. But Naruto decided not to do elemental training now because first they need to stretch this enhancement technique as far as possible make it their second nature only then they start leaning elemental jutsu and Sasuke agreed to that without any complaint.
With his sharingan now active Sasuke was learning genjutsu very quick. He was also developing his sensory ability because Naruto could not detect anything even if his life depends on it. With this side goal in mind he was moving forward in training.
Naruto on the other hand has come very far in fuinjutsu. When it comes to fuinjutsu even Hiruzen admitted it that he was a genius in making. In only seven months he learned all the basic seal in village and was now experimenting with the seal trying to create something because he was not allowed to learn about the seal above academy level. So Naruto made his own paper bomb with a few enhancements a month ago which was now used by many ninjas. And currently he was working on making seal in which chakra can be stored and be used when a person has chakra exhaustion.
The summer holidays just begun and Sasuke Uchiha wanted to stay away from his mother at least during his birthday because lately she was in a different mood because she was pregnant and Sasuke wanted his father & brother to deal with her alone. So he was going to organize all male clan heirs training camp in the forest with wild animal or maybe bandits.
Naruto: Denied, that's what your parents and their parents are going to say when they hear about this plan.
Sasuke: Come on, how can they deny it. It's a perfect plan.
Naruto: The problem is location. As much as you want we can't leave the village as much as want to.
Sasuke: Why not?
Naruto: Because you are a clan heir and you guys could get kidnapped.
Sasuke: So what can we do?
Naruto: What we can do is survival exercise where civilians are not allowed and with proper supervision.
Sasuke: Oh that's a good plan.
And just like that it was approved with slight change in location even after Shikamaru & Choji refused to go, their parent forced them. Their whole class was going to travel to the capital of the Land of Fire to meet the Daimyo with the Hokage and his bodyguard as a class trip learning experience.
Sasuke: This is bad.
Naruto: Why? We are going away from your mother.
Sasuke: Yeah but I don't celebrate my birthday with some crazy chicks.
Naruto: So then don't tell them.
Sasuke: They already know from previous year.
Naruto: We would be in the capital. We can run away for a day in capital as there would be plenty of things to do.
Sasuke: I hope you are right.
And the day finally come to leave for a class trip and for travelling groups was formed. Naruto & Sasuke were divided for the travelling part. Sasuke much for his annoyance was paired up with Ino, Sakura, Ami and Shikamaru. Naruto was paired up with Shoko, Shogo, Shino and Hinata.
Naruto for his part would be very comfortable if he was only paired with Shino and Hinata. Shoko was trying to talk with Hinata and Shogo put his arms around Naruto's neck & started talking with Shino about his bugs which also interest Naruto.
When half the distant was covered Naruto started to complete his seal to replenish chakra which drew the attention of his entire group as he explained. He also told them that it was for Sasuke's birthday present. And by the time he reached their destination he had completed his seal all he needed were some test subjects to test it on.
The entire class gets to meet the Fire Daimyo and was allowed to do some physical exercise with the 12 Guardian Ninjas. Asuma was a part of the Guardians and son of the Hokage. He left the village make a name for himself. He is currently meeting with the Hokage.
Naruto & Sasuke were trying to find some test subject for Naruto's seal whereas everyone else were doing some light exercise with the guardians.
Naruto: So who do you think we should ask?
Sasuke: Maybe we could ask one of the guardians or some student for help.
Naruto: Students no, guardians yes.
Sasuke: Alright I'll go talk with them.
5 guardians agreed to help the Naruto with the seal with Hokage watching. After they used all of their chakra they were ready for the seal. First Naruto find their chakra point by touching them when they create chakra from where they generate chakra then he applied the seal. And just like that the seal testing was successful and the Hokage and the daimyo were impressed by Naruto who had accomplished to make a new seal which can make their ninja's mission easier.
The next day Naruto and Sasuke started to train all by themselves as Naruto was scared to piss of someone who was a noble with his presence plus the guardians were very scary and had a mean face. They were not at a loss for not training with the guardians because the guardians were only teaching the other students the basics which they have already learned.
In the evening Naruto & Sasuke were discussing about what they were going to do on his birthday.
Naruto: I saw a place 10m outside the gates.
Sasuke: I don't think they are going to allow us to travel outside the gate.
Naruto: The place to celebrate inside would be filled with noble people.
Sasuke: And we won't be able to enjoy enough. So how would we go outside?
Naruto: We both can't but we would require some help from the clan heir.
Sasuke: Why them?
Naruto: Because only they have the skill and are crazy enough to agree to this.
Sasuke: Would you be okay with them around?
Naruto: I'll manage for one day because it's your birthday.
After that they manage to involve Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba and Shino; well Shino only said yes because he knew they if got in trouble outside the gate, he would be there to save them. They were discussing their plan while watching the gates.
Shikamaru: So what's the plan?
Sasuke: I thought you would have one because you are tactical genius.
Kiba: By the way I can't believe you agreed to it Shikamaru.
Choji: He only agreed because he thought it would be fun.
Shikamaru: So any plans?
Naruto: Two samurai guards watch the gates and change shift in 6 hours. Our best time to go out would be before lunch. Each guards brings their own lunch, first Kiba would have to track down their lunches location meanwhile Shikamaru & Choji will find some herb which causes lose motion. Shino job would be to plant those herbs in their lunches and just when they will leave for toilet Sasuke would activate his eyes to see no one is looking. And then at that moment we would get pass through the gate.
Shino: What will be the excuse we will give them for leaving?
Naruto: We were finding some place to celebrate Sasuke's birthday and exit the gate when there were no guards. Sorry it won't happen again.
Shikamaru: That's the best you can come up with.
Naruto: I am sorry.
Shino: Do you have anything better?
Shikamaru: No, I was thinking the same thing. What about you?
Shino: Same.
Shikamaru: What a drag!
Meanwhile Kiba & Sasuke were feeling out of place when 3 of them were discussing the plan.
It was Sasuke's birthday and they were ready to execute the plan. Kiba was training his nose, Shino was training his bugs, Naruto Shikamaru Choji are searching for herbs and Sasuke was hiding from girls.
Everyone performed their task nicely. When their plan worked flawlessly they faced a slight problem.
Shikamaru: When you said that you had a place to celebrate is this what were you talking about?
Sasuke: Yep.
Shikamaru: Are you sure?
Kiba: Why what's wrong with it people are enjoying inside.
Shino: The problem is that this is a bar and we would not be allowed to go inside.
Sasuke: What kind of rule is that?
Shino: It is to prevent underage drinking.
Naruto: But we were only going to drink beer it's not harmful.
Choji: Yes it is Naruto. Yes it is.
Naruto: So they lie on the poster.
Shikamaru: Technically yes but it is less harmful than alcohol.
Choji: We can eat inside can we?
Shikamaru: Yes we can but I don't think it's safe for us.
Choji: Why?
Stranger 1: Because people like us can kidnap you.
All of them were knock out cold except for Sasuke who knew they were coming to attack and by the time he could warn anyone they were knocked and Sasuke pretended to be knocked out.
Naruto woke up his hand tied to the chair and everyone had woken up before him.
Naruto: Why are we tied like this?
Kiba: Uh, because they kidnaped us (sarcastic)
Sasuke: He meant, why only our hands were tied.
Shikamaru: They think we are ordinary noble kid.
Choji: Do have any plan to get out (panicking).
Sasuke: Who can fight?
Kiba: I can take one of them.
Shikamaru: Choji & I don't train enough.
Shino: I can provide assistance from a distance with my bugs.
Sasuke: So 4 of us and 37 of them no problem we can do this.
Naruto: We can't charge at them blindly?
Sasuke: We are at the top of the building only way is down you got any idea?
Naruto: We can't make any noise because we'll lose if they all come at once. How many floors are there?
Sasuke: 3
Naruto: How many are there?
Shino: Around 40.
Naruto: Each must contain at least 10 because area is small. Shikamaru & Choji will block the entry and Shino would delay the bandits with them. Meanwhile Kiba will make that they are knocked out completely and Sasuke & I will take them down. Wait do they have any explosives and where is my pouch?
Sasuke: No they don't and your pouch is handing there.
Just at that moment a man entered the room to ask them who are there parent and he grabbed Naruto's collar from back he kicked at his right leg. The man lost balance, hit his head on the table and then his neck bend in the way that it shouldn't. All of them were staring at the man with their eyes wide open.
Kiba: Dang, you killed him dude.
Naruto: Sasuke this motherfucker, please tell me that he is very flexible.
Sasuke: Naruto don't worry he is no one important so you aren't in trouble besides he was going to die any way it doesn't matter he had no one who would want revenge for him.
Naruto: Oh, alright! For a moment I thought I killed someone important.
Shikamaru: You guys need help you know.
Choji: Seriously.
Kiba: Yeah, because no matter what you it is still a human life.
Sasuke: He is thief, rapist and a bad person. To me & Naruto he is just a scum who has no morals or something to justify his actions.
Choji: When you say it like that you make us look like bad persons for not killing them.
Naruto: Well you have to if you want to survive. I have some tags which can explode in 5m radius.
Shikamaru: We'll do it but this doesn't mean we like it.
Sasuke: You don't have to like it; it just means that you will be saving someone's innocent life in the future.
Kiba: You make it sound that we are doing a good thing.
Shino: That's what being a ninja is all about.
Everyone has a determined on look on their faces and made peace with killing your enemy. They untied themselves and were in a formation in which Naruto & Sasuke were in the front, Kiba in middle behind them and behind him rest 3 were present exploding tags. Shino informed them that in the front hallway there were 3 people and beyond that there were 6 more. They were waiting for the door to open from the other side.
When the door open one man came who got a cock shot from Naruto, Sasuke quickly jumped from the first man's back to deliver the second man a kick from his knee to his face knocking him out and as the third man was approaching Naruto quickly pass Sasuke when was landing facing punch which he dodged & used him momentum against him tossing him. Meanwhile Kiba was dealt with first man by bring his face to his knee knocking him out and moved pass second man seeing him out cold jump sit on third man's chest delivering punch after punch breaking his jaw. Naruto & Sasuke entered the room of 6 men whom they were dealing with as planned remaining 3 locked the door to the staircase. Sasuke enhanced body and Naruto enhanced his punches and kicks. When 4 man try to grab Sasuke, he bend delivering a cock shot make his balls go up; Naruto dodged 2 punches from 5 man and delivered a punch which shattered his ribs and while in air twist his body to deliver a spin kick to 6 man head killing him instantly. With the cock shot delivered Sasuke seeing Naruto's position went towards 7 man who was moving towards delay group who were currently blocking the staircase door from breaking, he went behind him and shattered his spine killing him. Kiba after knocking 3 man went after 8 man exchanging punches and kicks at first then he brought his claws out in right hands slitting his neck clean. Sasuke as soon as killed 7 man delivered a kick backward to 9 man who went rolling till the wall and then his head was crushed between the wall and Sasuke's knee killing him (these numbers are used as names for each bandits).
Sasuke: 10 down 27 to go.
Shino: We have a problem.
Kiba: What?
Shino: 8 men are behind this door.
Sasuke: How did they know?
Shikamaru: Maybe falling bodies made some noise downstairs (sarcasm).
Naruto: Don't worry blow them up with the door and both of us will go 1 floor down from the window. Stay hidden till they follow us then ambush them from behind with explosives.
Shikamaru: It's risky but doable.
When the staircase door blow up Naruto & Sasuke entered the second floor from window and with a blink of an eye slit four men's throat with broken window glass. When the explosion happen four men close to the door instantly died due to impact and rest of the kids came down and met with Naruto & Sasuke.
They were facing eleven men, when bandits charge at them with knives they were killed by Shikamaru, Choji and Shino with explosion in 5 seconds.
Naruto: That was a close call.
Sasuke: Give us some warning before you use them.
Choji: Sorry.
A man was about to enter from staircase but was instantly killed by Sasuke who after killing him used him as a surfboard to get downstairs where he sees seven men standing ready to kill him. All 7 of them were stuck in a genjutsu when they made eye contact with him and then were killed easily by Naruto& Sasuke.
Shikamaru: You could use genjutsu?
Sasuke: Yes.
Shikamaru: Couldn't you do that from the beginning.
Sasuke: I forgot (blushed).
Shikamaru: What a drag.
Choji: Is everyone okay?
Shino: We all are alive with some few scratches.
Kiba: What the hell is that (seeing a palm size crocodile)?
Sasuke: That's Crox; he is with us on our side.
Kiba: Okay, I hope he doesn't snack on us like he is doing with those dead people.
Naruto: Please don't worry, he won't.
Sasuke: Guys, look what I found (pointing at a box filled with alcohol).
Naruto: Looks like we can still party.
Shino: I am afraid that is no longer an option.
Choji: Why?
Shino: Because we have been caught by the Hokage.
Hiruzen: Hello kids you have some explaining to do.
They replied with the lie which they had planned to tell if they got caught but Hiruzen didn't buy it. Then they told him the whole truth and Naruto started to cry. All of them have to hold 2 buckets of water in each hand for 6 hours as punishment for breaking rules and they took it without any complain except Naruto who cried the entire time while they were punished.
When the class came back from their trip to their village they were again punished by their parents for not following the rules. Naruto & Sasuke were punished by cleaning the river side area from trash. When they finally cleaned the river side area both crashed on the ground with exhaustion.
Sasuke: Shit! My whole birthday has gone waste.
Naruto: Sorry about your birthday but we can still enjoy while there is still holidays left.
Sasuke: How?
Naruto brings out a storage scroll and summons the box of alcohol which they found at the bandits place.
Sasuke: You are the best.
Naruto: You have the herbs for hangovers right?
Sasuke: Dude I have started farming this.
With a wide smile on their faces both partied all night long without a care in the world.
