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

It's worth noting that one of these three is the future Fourth Hokage.

One is the head of the so-called first clan of Konoha.

The last one is the Jinchūriki who will be able to imprison the Nine-Tails in the future.

These three were among the very best, even within the golden generation.

However, in Kagura's view, these three currently have a fatal problem.

The problem is that these three lack one of the most important qualities of a ninja: they have never seen blood.

Although Kagura doesn't consider himself a good person, if he were the only one here today, he would kill those three people without hesitation.

But now he is no longer the lone wolf he used to be; he is now the teacher of a small team.

He needs to consider more things before doing anything.

That's why he deliberately said those words to the three of them, forcing them to make their own choice.

The purpose was actually to let the three of them voluntarily experience the feeling of reaping lives for the first time.

Having become a ninja, one's future life will naturally revolve around battles and killing.

In the course of a battle, besides strength, the mentality of both sides plays an even greater role in determining the outcome.

In a duel between a genin with blood on his hands and one without, it's obvious that the former has a much greater chance of winning.

Unlike the Land of Water during the Blood Mist period, Konoha was not like that of the Land of Water, so Kagura could only use this method to force them.

The entire battle took place extremely quickly, lasting only a few seconds from start to finish.

When Kagura entered the room, the blood of the ninja who had been knocked down by Minato was still slowly spreading on the ground.

Meanwhile, Minato, who had just shown a rare display of determination and ruthlessness, was now leaning against the wall, retching repeatedly.

Well, although his other two companions were in a similar state at the time.

Seeing this, Kagura walked in while offering words of comfort:

"Okay, this is how it is the first time."

"You'll get used to it after a while."

However, his words of comfort seemed to have no effect at this moment.

He slowly approached the woman and slowly squatted down.

As he approached, the woman's eyes showed no gratitude, only fear.

To her, there was no real difference between ninjas from Konoha and Sunagakure.

Since the Fourth Shinobi World War, although the three great nations withdrew from the Land of Rain, they left behind a country ravaged by time.

Although the Land of Rain was just a small country in the past, it still had Amegakure (Hidden Rain Village).

Despite its weakness, it still possesses its own armed forces.

But since that war, the only ninja village in the Land of Rain has disappeared.

Coupled with the devastation caused by the previous war, the Rain Country has now become a completely abandoned nation.

Almost everyone who was capable had fled the Land of Rain in the past two years.

The rest of the people were mostly like her: either they were unable to escape, or they still had attachments to this place.

But no matter what, those who remained here were like lost souls, completely ignored by everyone.

They are like rats in a sewer, barely surviving by scavenging scraps of food.

They harbored deep hatred for the ninjas from the three great nations.

Because they all know that if it weren't for the wars started by these so-called great powers, they wouldn't have to live such a life.

The root of all this is simply because they are too weak.

Even though they were filled with hatred, they were unable to resist these ninjas, and dared not even insult them.

Because to these high-ranking ninjas, the lives of these people are no different from those of ants.

So even though the woman knew perfectly well that these people had just saved her, she remained on guard the entire time.

Seeing the woman's tense expression, Kagura instinctively reached out to comfort her.

However, upon seeing his actions, the woman acted like a frightened puppy, instinctively trying to back away even though there was a wall behind her.

She held her child tightly in her arms, repeatedly pleading:

"Please, I beg you, let me go."

I beg you, please, let me go...

Seeing the woman's extremely frightened appearance, Kagura knew that she could not communicate with her effectively.

Helpless, he turned around and shouted behind him:

"Um...Kushina, are you done throwing up yet?"

"Come here right now after you've finished throwing up."

Upon hearing the teacher's call, Kushina, who had been gagging for a while, finally managed to suppress her fear.

She wiped her mouth and silently approached Kagura.

Kagura, without the slightest pity, ordered her:

"You're in charge of communicating with this woman."

First, calm her down.

Upon hearing this, Kushina looked at the pitiful woman in front of her, a hint of sympathy flashing in her eyes, and nodded solemnly.

After giving her instructions, Kagura stood up again and walked to Hiashi and Minato's side.

Seeing that these two disciples were recovering even slower than Kushina, a girl, Kagura curled her lip, kicked them both, and said:

"Alright, that's enough."

"Now, quickly tidy this place up for me."

Upon hearing Kagura's instructions, the two finally managed to suppress their nausea.

Minato turned to Kagura with a blank expression and asked:

"scare?

What to pack...?

Looking at Minato, who had reverted to his adorable, goofy self, Kagura gestured with her chin towards the three corpses on the ground with a hint of annoyance and said:

"Are you blind? There are three such big pieces of 'trash' here."

Can't you see it?

"this......"

I finally realized what Kagura meant by "tidying up".

Minato and Hiashi exchanged a glance, a flicker of fear in their eyes, and stammered:

"teacher...

Are we also responsible for burying the body?

Kagura replied in a matter-of-fact tone:

"What else?"

We just searched this village, and this house is the perfect place for us to rest tonight.

Or are you planning to eat and sleep with these three tonight?

Besides, if you're not afraid of them alive, what are you afraid of if they're dead?

Hearing Kagura's words, and thinking about having to share a room with three corpses tonight, the two couldn't help but shudder.

Without Kagura urging them at all, they obediently walked towards the corpses.

Kagura smiled slightly as she watched their retreating figures.

The reason they were asked to handle the corpses was not because Kagura wanted to scare them, but simply to help them overcome their fear sooner.

After all, the best way to overcome fear is to face it.

Chapter 20 The Teacher Who Says One Thing and Means Another

By the time Minato and Hiashi returned after throwing the corpses far away, Kagura had already started a fire and begun cooking dinner for the evening.

Of the three genin, only the one whose throat was slit by Minato bled profusely; the other two died from internal injuries.

However, for Kagura, who has extensive experience in handling such cases, this blood was a minor matter.

So when the two returned, the blood that had been pooled in the center of the room had disappeared, and there was no smell of blood at all.

However, Minato, the one who started it all, got a scolding from Kagura.

When they returned, all they smelled was the aroma of food being cooked in front of Kagura.

The two seemed to have completely recovered from the fear of their first murder. The aroma whetted their appetites, and they couldn't help but swallow.

On the other hand, perhaps it's because Kushina was also a woman.

Or perhaps it was because they sensed that the people in front of them truly meant no harm.

The woman's expression had calmed down considerably, and she no longer had the panicked look she had shown before.

Although she relaxed her guard a little, she still held the child in her arms tightly and pursed her lips.

However, the child in her arms clearly knew that the danger had passed, and showed a cute face, looking curiously at the older brothers and sisters around him.

As the campfire illuminated the scene, everyone was able to see the child's appearance clearly.

It's clear that this is a little boy, who looks to be only 3 or 4 years old.

Although the mother and son live in a food-scarce area, it is clear that the mother takes good care of him.

Unlike his pale and thin mother, his round and chubby face made Minato want to pinch it.
