6 Bandit Extermination

As time passed, I felt like I was ready to go looking for a town or at least some humans. I had the desire to take a warm bath, even though I didn't sweat or smell naturally, just for relaxation mainly and to get the grime off and stuff. Finding a lake or something similar to bathe in proved to be surprisingly hard and I hadn't had any luck yet.

Also I couldn't keep wearing just some raggedy looking pants, I've been looking like a homeless child and while it doesn't really matter in the wilderness, around people it does. Also wearing something good looking just feels right.

I also wanted to take a look in the mirror and get a good look at myself. While I estimated that I looked around 10 years old, in reality I don't have much of a clue. And I have only seen my face in some puddles but that doesn't say much.

I started my journey flying, it's easier to keep going in one straight direction that way so I don't accidentally keep running in circles. My chakra reserves are big enough to maintain flight almost indefinitely. With my almost perfect control, larger reserves and mastery over flight it felt natural to not walk anymore.

After two hours of flying and keeping my senses open, I felt people down below. While it was day, the trees were big and leaves were everywhere so it was almost impossible to see me from below.

I just hovered above, keeping my senses peeled on the people while trying to listen in on their conversation.

*{ POV: BANDIT LEADER }*

After a good 3 days journey through the forest, me and my 5 men finally set up camp deep in the forest to get some rest from pillaging, and to plan our next moves.

Planning where to go raiding next was usually my Job, since I'm the strongest person here, but I still liked to keep an open mind for new ideas.

"Heh we should look for a village with younger women next, the last one only had old hags, no money and was just shit." one of my men said. A nasty guy really, always thinking of who he can rape next. But such was the life as a bandit.

I wasn't above these things either, but lately I've been dreaming of a quiet life. When I was young my father taught me how to do ninja stuff. Shooting fireballs mainly, it's good for burning shit down and to instill fear and respect in people. Luckyly I didn't actually ever meet a real ninja in combat.

My men think they're invincible but I know the truth: the only reason why we haven't gotten caught and killed in all these years is because we're in the middle of nowhere and the villages are too poor to request help from Konoha.

While my group kept talking and bantering, for some reason I started to get a bad feeling. I felt like I was being watched and kept looking around to see whether it was just my mind playing tricks on me. Forcing myself to calm down, thinking that nobody should be out here and that I'm just tired, I went into my tent.

Ten minutes later I suddenly heard screaming.

"AHHH" "HELP!!"

"Please don't kill me, please!?"

Shaking off my fear I pushed the fabric of the entrance of my tent open, only to see something horrifying. Next to the fire, were my men on the ground, some without heads, legs or arms. One simply had a huge hole where his heart was supposed to be.

Then I looked up at the assailant, A CHILD... I looked the little girl in the eyes and could see no remorse, not even an ounce of guilt. A blank face, white skin and hair with blood all over and blue eyes that were almost shining stared back at me and I could feel the chills going down my spine. This is going to be a one hard fight, I could feel it.

*{ POV MC }*

Hearing them talk about stealing, pillaging, destroying and raping, for some reason didn't make me feel any disgust. I realised early on that in this world only might makes right and that being good get's you nowhere.

I didn't want to kill them because they were despicable, no, I simply wanted to test my power against them and see how strong I am.

I observed them for a while longer and when a man that I suppose is the leader went into the tent I started forming a strategy.

I had to kill these 5 guys as quickly as possible, I couldn't sense any substantial amount of chakra from them but the leader had more than the rest by quite a bit.

I came down, and hovered above the ground around 150 meter away from them and slowly made my way forward without making any noise. Once I could see and hear them just fine I hid behind a bush and waited for my opportunity.

They were distracted, sitting around the fire eating and talking, not even one person keeping a lookout, and this was going to be their undoing. I slowly stood up, and with a boost of chakra in my legs I shot forward towards the nearest person who had his back turned to me.

I simply punched where his heart was and with a my hand covered in chakra, my arm went straight through his body. My hand coming out of his chest with his heart in hand, and then I just crushed it.

'Heh, I bet that must've looked badass'

The bandits, shellshocked because of what just happened just stared, with bulging eyes, straight at me. And before they could even remotely organise themselves I pulled my arm out, did a 180 degrees turn and kicked the head of the man sitting ahead with my left leg.

*SQUELCH*

His body slumped down and his brain matter flew everywhere.

During that time the other 3 gathered their wits, picked up their swords and got into a stance ready to take me on. I didn't know how my fists would fair against swords so I quickly picked one up laying on the ground and held it next to my body.

I ran towards the first one with speed that was hard to follow with the eyes for a normal human, lifted my arms and swung down with all my strength. He couldn't evade fast enough but he reacted quickly and redirected my sword enough for me to only be able to slice one of his arms off.

"AHHH"

One of the guys seemingly had enough and just fell on his knees, mumbling to himself how a little girl could do this and to please spare him.

'Huh did this fucker just say little girl?!?'

During my lapse of judgement the third man ran up to me and swung at me, I was able to take a step backwards but I still had been caught by the tip of his sword on my stomach. Under so much adrenaline I didn't even really notice the pain, but it'd heal in a short while either way.

While evading the swing I already had my next move planned out, and simply let go of the sword, pushed chakra into my legs and with a burst punched his shoulders, the arm and a bit off his shoulder as well simply exploded into bloody parts. He started screaming and under the pressure let go off his sword, so I simply killed him with a another punch to the chest.

Not even thinking about what to do next, I picked the sword back up again, went to the downed man that I sliced the arm off, and simply cut his head off his body.

Then with a small smile on my face I went to the mumbling man, he was still begging to be spared. 'Hah, what a hypocrite!'

From what I heard he was quite evil, so I decided to have a little fun, and slowly cut off his arms and then his legs one by one while grinning maniacally.

'Now that that's over, I have to concentrate on the real fight ahead.'

I steeled my mind, and went back into serious mode, just as I saw the tent opening and a man coming out.

'Let's see how strong I truly am!'
