Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

"No, as I said, while I don't intend to take action, I also don't intend to stop you."

"So, teacher, you mean...?"

Hearing this, Kushina became confused.

At this moment, Kagura glanced at them coldly before speaking:

"What I mean is, either don't do it at all, or do it cleanly."

Don't give them a chance to go back to Sunagakure!

In the eyes of Minato and the others, Kagura at this moment was completely different from the teacher they usually remembered; it was as if her whole body was radiating a coldness.

With this straightforward explanation, they instantly understood Kagura's meaning, and their faces suddenly turned deathly pale.

Without giving them much time to consider, Kagura pressed them, asking:

"So now, tell me your choice."

Chapter 18: There are still differences between genin (lower-ranking ninja).

It wasn't Kagura who was forcing them, but rather the situation on the other side was starting to turn bad.

After a brief exchange, the ninja who had first suggested killing the mother and child drew a kunai from his waist and slowly walked towards the woman holding the child.

So without giving them time to consider, Kagura looked at the three people in front of her and asked in a cold voice:

"So now, tell me, what is your choice?"

Surprisingly, the response he received was neither from Kushina, who had been furious, nor from Hiashi, who always seemed to remain calm.

Minato took a step forward, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

He met Kagura's piercing gaze and said without the slightest hesitation:

"Teacher, I said I wanted to become Hokage."

But I hope to become the kind of Hokage who can protect others.

So our choice is to go and take them out.

As soon as he spoke, the hesitation of the two people beside him vanished instantly, and their faces also showed a determined expression.

Seeing the change in their expressions, Kagura's icy expression suddenly melted, revealing a slight smile.

He nodded, then said with a hint of approval:

"Very good, but it seems you'd better hurry, or you might miss your chance."

As he spoke, he gave a thumbs-up and pointed inside the house.

Upon hearing Kagura's reminder, the three of them quickly looked into the house.

The three of them then looked at each other, nodded, and began to act without any hesitation.

They watched as the three people slipped into the house like ghosts, without making a sound.

Just as he had said, Kagura leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, showing no intention of making a move.

Inside the house, the man holding the kunai finally walked up to the woman.

As he approached, the ninja who had been kicking the woman finally stopped.

The woman, who had been keeping her head down and tightly holding her child, noticed the movement stop and looked up in confusion.

When she saw the weapon in the other person's hand, she instantly understood.

She sat up quickly, ignoring the blood on her head from the kick, and backed away while holding her child.

He retreated while saying in terror:

"I don't want the food anymore, you can take it."

Please, please don't hurt me and my child.

However, her pleas for mercy only fueled their brutality.

A hint of excitement flashed in the eyes of the ninja holding a kunai. Just as he was about to take a step forward and finish off the woman, his companion suddenly pulled him back.

Just as he looked over in confusion, the ninja who had been kicking and hitting the woman stared at her face, licked his lips slightly, and said:

"I didn't get a good look at her just now, but this woman seems to be quite good-looking."

Since I'm going to kill him anyway, I might as well have some fun first.

Upon hearing his words, his companions instantly realized what was happening.

He glanced back at the woman and a lewd smile crept across his face.

Following his companion's suggestion, he stopped and put away the kunai in his hand.

The man who made the suggestion walked toward the woman with a lewd grin on his face.

Realizing what was happening, the woman kept backing away, but before long, her back was pressed against the wall.

As the man drew closer, a flicker of despair crossed her eyes.

Just as she closed her eyes, preparing to accept this humiliation, a girl's voice filled with anger came from above her.

You guys disgust me!

Even faster than the woman were the Sunagakure ninjas who were already standing in front of her.

The man reacted quickly; the instant the voice rang out, he immediately drew the long sword from his back and swung it forcefully upwards.

The one who uttered those words was naturally Kushina.

She clearly had no good intentions towards this ninja who kicked and punched women before attempting to rape them.

So after sneaking in, she quietly climbed to the corner of the wall behind the woman.

The room they were in was quite large, and it looked like the secondary living room that had been used for dining.

The only candle lit in the entire space was on the long table in the center.

The light from that small candle was clearly insufficient to illuminate the entire room.

Thanks to the darkness, the three were able to sneak in silently.

Seeing the long sword swinging towards her, Kushina showed no fear in her eyes; instead, she swung her straight punches even faster.

The next second, to the ninja's incredulous gaze, the small fist had barely touched the long sword when it shattered into pieces.

Then, with an irresistible force, the small fist suddenly struck his chest.

With a dull thud of flesh hitting flesh, the ninja was sent flying backward like a cannonball without making a sound.

"boom!"

A loud bang was heard as the figure crashed into the wall.

The person slid down the wall like a lump of soft mud.

Judging from the deep indentation in his chest, he was clearly beyond dead.

Just as Kushina launched her attack, another enemy, a few steps behind her companion, immediately drew his kunai again.

However, before he could make any move, a boy dressed in a simple white kimono appeared in front of him.

“A guy who doesn’t respect women doesn’t deserve to be a ninja.”

At this moment, Hiashi had already activated his Byakugan. After saying this, his hands, which had been gathering blue chakra, turned into afterimages.

"Gentle Fist!"

Before the enemy could react, the afterimages formed by those hands all landed on the person.

A few seconds later, the Japanese team finally stopped their attack.

The enemy in front of him, holding a kunai, stared wide-eyed and stood motionless.

A second later, the man's body suddenly emitted dozens of muffled thuds, and fist-sized dents suddenly appeared at the locations of dozens of meridians in his body.

With all his meridians severed, his heart stopped beating abruptly, and he collapsed to the ground as if all his strength had been drained.

Only then did the squad leader realize what had happened.

In just a few seconds, his two companions were instantly killed by the enemy.

Realizing what was happening, he immediately began forming hand seals, seemingly trying to unleash some kind of ninjutsu.

Just as he was about to complete the hand seal, a kunai appeared like a ghost around his neck.

"Shua!~"

With a sound of flesh being torn apart, a pillar of blood shot into the sky.

Only then did the leader realize that his throat had been slit, and he pressed his hand against his neck in disbelief.

He turned his head with all his might, but could only see the back of a blond-haired boy.

Looking at her disciples' achievements, Kagura, standing outside the door, also revealed a knowing smile.

He wasn't stupid. Since he dared to let these three handle it themselves, it was naturally because he judged that the opponent's strength was far inferior to that of his disciple.

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that we've gotten this close is enough to show that those idiots are completely oblivious and still playing their torture game.

Kagura could already tell that these three were just weaklings.

There's no way around it, even if I'm a genin.

However, there are still significant differences between different types of genin.

Chapter 19 The best way to overcome fear is to face it.

After all the enemies inside had fallen, Kagura slowly walked in.

Kagura looked at the Sunagakure genin who were lying on the ground with an expression that said it was only natural.

Although he hadn't spent much time with his disciples, he had enough confidence in their abilities.

Honestly speaking, in Kagura's opinion, these three are all top-notch in terms of education, ability, temperament, and personal strength.

However, this is quite normal.
