3 Chap 3 - First Blood.

Seeing Morgiana and Kushina running towards the Village, Ryuuji wiped the smile off his face and put on an icy expression, as he waited for the two invaders to arrive on dry land.

It wasn't the first time Ryuuji had caught Shinobi invading the Land of Whirlwinds' territory. It was quite common for bounty-hunting ninja to invade the whirlpool formation that protects the country by crossing a part of the ocean on foot.

It may be impossible for ships and large troops to bypass natural protections without knowing the secret path spread by clan officers, but small squads of ninjas regularly invade the country.

Of course, that wouldn't be enough to make waves in Uzushiogakure, but as very few ninja are currently trained to use The Mind's Eye of The Kagura, these invaders have greatly increased the number of successful missions in the Land of Whirlwinds.

But in the last year, that has started to change dramatically.

Ever since Ryuuji started spreading his perception across the country, he has always warned his mother about intruders and unwanted visitors.

Benihime, as one of the few Elite Jounin and the patriarch's daughter, has great influence over the other Shinobi and can ensure the country's safety by working together with her brother Arashi, the Patriarch's eldest son and the Jounin Commander of Uzushiogakure.

Because of this, the number of invaders that die without achieving anything is very close to 100%.

But that's still not enough for Ryuuji. The Uzumaki clan have a very strong sense of family existence, so when Ryuuji thinks of his brothers and sisters being taken and sold, his hatred causes his eyes to glow red.

These invaders have already kidnapped dozens of members of the Uzumaki Clan and he has a desire to make them pay.

So for the past few months, Ryuuji has been intercepting these visitors and gathering information about Bounty Stations and Slave Dealers.

His goal is to gather enough information so that he can start doing recovery and destruction operations, in order to bring some justice to his red-haired comrades.

Of course, his mother doesn't know this, as even though she is a very liberal woman when it comes to her son's actions, she would not allow her son, a five year old, to get into dangerous situations.

By sending Morgiana as a spokesperson, Ryuuji is practically telling his mother that he can take care of these worms on his own and that it's time for her to accept that fact.

Thinking of the worms that were approaching, Ryuuji started releasing small bursts of killing intent.

Gradually, a thick white fog began to cover the cliff where Ryuuji was standing.

"Kiri Shinobi…what a novelty. That village really is a shit pit. "

The two men approached and hid in the mist, thinking they were hidden from Ryuuji's perception.

Of course, with his senses, seeing through the mist comes almost naturally to Ryuuji, so even before the two invaders could fully hide their presence, Ryuuji had already fully studied them.

A tall bald man and a short man with a scarred face. By the density and amount of muscles, chakra volume and mannerisms, Ryuuji soon cross-referenced the information to define the level of the two invaders.

Utterly disappointed at the level of the enemies, Ryuuji let out a huff before muttering, "Do two Chunins really have the guts to break into my house? "

" Brother! We got lucky! Look at the blood color of this little ghost's hair! We'll make a fortune this time! "

Laughing disgustingly, the bald man replied to his brother:

"Yeah…I don't know what those red-haired demons think, leaving such valuable children without any kind of security? Doesn't that make our job much easier?! "

Hearing the two idiots chuckling, Ryuuji let out a huff and parted his arms slightly before clapping his hands together, creating a shock wave strong enough to crack the ground and expel the mist entirely.

The two brothers stopped smiling and froze.

The short man came out of shock and asked his brother: "N-Ninjutsu without seal? Since when is there such a strong little devil in this place?! "

"I don't know, but it doesn't matter, his knowing how to use Ninjutsu is just something that made him more valuable. We will! "

Ryuuji stood still as he watched the two enemies approaching. To a normal five year old, the two would be nothing more than a blur, but to Ryuuji, they were moving in slow motion.

The short man approached and threw a kusarigama towards Ryuuji's legs, intending to immobilize his prey quickly. Meanwhile, the bald man turned around and tried to approach from behind.

Ryuuji punched forward, sending a wave of compressed air that blew the Kusarigama to pieces and before the bald man approaching from behind could react, he grabbed one of the metal shards that was in front of him and swung it backwards, blinding the attacker's left eye.

" Brother! "

The short man screamed at the sight of his brother losing an eye and began to wonder what to do. In nervousness, he started to seal quickly and spit a strong stream of water towards Ryuuji.

" Idiot. "

Letting out an annoyed huff, Ryuuji grabbed the bald man who was still screaming in pain and threw it towards the enemy's jutsu. The current of water brought the enemy towards Ryuuji again, who mercilessly punched the man in the pit of the stomach.

"M-Monster! "

Spitting out a gulp of dark blood, the bald man's eye turned white and he fell unconscious, his face totally distorted with fear.

The short man stumbled back and yelled in fear, "W-what the fuck? How can such a ruthless little devil exist! "

Ryuuji looked at the short man with disdain, which made him growl in anger and throw several kunais wrapped with explosive tags while yelling, "Don't underestimate me you red haired demon! "

Ryuuji remained still as he felt his body being covered by explosions.

"Hahaha, die you damn monster! "

When the smoke spread, Ryuuji was still in the same spot, lightly patting his kimono to remove the unwrinkled one.

Ryuuji looked at the bald man who was standing with his mouth open and said: "Is it over yet? So…it's my turn now. "

"N-No, don't come any closer! "

The bald man jumped towards the ocean, wanting to get away from the little red-haired demon.

Seeing this, Ryuuji huffed and said angrily, "You break into my house whenever you want and think you can leave without paying the price? I don't exist in your eyes? "

Before the bald man fell into the ocean, a golden chain as bright as the sun came out of Ryuuji's back and pulled him back.

Looking at the desperate face of the guy who had dared to break into his house, Ryuuji smiled like a sadistic demon, "since you're willing to come, then stay…let's have fun. "

The man's face was full of fear and despair and began to beg for his life, but Ryuuji remained cold-faced, like a true Shinigami.

"How many brothers and sisters of the Uzumaki Clan have not asked for mercy? How many of them didn't scream like you? "

Without letting the man speak, Ryuuji created another chain and pierced his left leg.

" Ah! "

Hearing the cry of despair, Ryuuji approached the man even more and spoke in a tone that gave hope: "It's not impossible to spare you…I even want to spare you. But you know how it is, you need to help me help you. "

The man with his face distorted with pain, nodded his head repeatedly and replied, "Y-yes, I'll do anything! I'm willing, I'm willing! "

Ryuuji smiled gently, making the man have the illusion that he was facing the sun.

"Alright, since you're so excited to share the information I want, so let's talk…I want to know everything. "

A few minutes later, Ryuuji had already removed from the subject's mind all information that could be useful for his objective.

As Ryuuji updated the mind map with his eyes closed, the short man spoke in a hopeful voice, "W-Well, now that I've told you everything, you can let me and my brother out of here, right? I promise we will never come back here again! "

Ryuuji opened his eyes and looked at the short man as if he were an idiot.

"Let you out? This is a joke? I will kill you both as quickly as possible. It's the most I can do for your contribution. "

Before the short man opened his mouth to respond, a golden chain pierced his skull. Exactly the same happened to the bald man who lay unconscious on the floor.

A few seconds later, a tall man with long red hair appeared beside Ryuuji and looked at the artwork that had been made.

" Ryuuji, does your mother know that you've been walking around eliminating rats? "

Ryuuji smiled at his uncle and replied naturally, as if he hadn't killed two human beings: "She knows…I mean, she should know. But it doesn't matter, uncle. These men need to pay. "

Arashi Uzumaki let out an amused laugh and patted his nephew's head before replying, "Have you spoken to her about your self-imposed mission? "

Giving a smirk, Ryuuji replied, "Uncle, you're good with jokes. If my mother finds out about this matter, won't I have to live the rest of my life in captivity? "

"Hahahaha, this is definitely something Benihime would do. As your uncle, I will always be there for you, so count on my help when the time comes. "

Ryuuji felt a little warmth in his heart and nodded.

" Thanks Uncle. I'm sure when the time comes, you'll enjoy making them pay, too. "

Laughing, Arashi nodded in agreement.

" Absolutely, nephew. Even if Dad remains the passive man that he is, he can't stop us from seeking justice. "

After cleaning the bodies, Ryuuji continued talking to his uncle as the two walked towards the Village.

During the journey, Ryuuji asked the system to show his Status, showing an enormous growth in his Chakra amount.
