Akashi, Arima, and Kana spend the week visiting and enjoying the town's delicacies.
Even though the town leader wanted to have someone serve as a guide Akashi refused arguing that he preferred to discover the town's particularity by himself and that having someone following him around would dampen his experience.
Even though they were only kids the old woman wasn't at ease after all she knew the reason for Akashi's presence in her town.
An inspection!
In the meantime, the three young men could explore -the city without restriction, with their mastery of clone jutsu and the mind eyes they find more and more spies and members of the black market in this little town.
They also explored the town's surroundings, but more importantly, they explored the factory hidden inside a mountain not far away from the town.
He must admit he was impressed, the factory was producing some kind of microprocessor, he had already seen one during an inspection with his father once.
This is why he could tell while Karin and Arima didn't know what they were seeing, it was a bunch of big machines mostly destroyed.
The night of the seven days
"Let's go," Arima said
At that signal, they all flickered out of the room.
Using the night as cover they jumped toward their destination
In a banal little house in the town, a beautiful woman could be seen peacefully sleeping in her bed.
The woman seems so deeply asleep that one would think that nothing could get her out of that state when
"slash, puff,"
A blade went through the body of the woman killing her instantaneously
Akashi took his Katana out of her body and cleaned it when
"Woosh," the woman he had just killed reappeared behind him holding a kunai to his throat
"I didn't think that you would've moved that quickly, you are one of the two kids following the Daimyo's kid, my companion won't have to go to tomorrow's inspections to capture you," she said as she was incapable of seeing Akashi's face covered by the mask hiding the lower half of his face
"You aren't surprised by my presence," he said looking at the bed where the body lay there started to disappear
"More like prepared, now be a good boy and-" she couldn't end her sentence as she felt something pass through her body
"You seem to have forgotten one of the characteristics of the Uzumaki,"
She lowered her head to see a glowing chain stain with blood passing through her heart
"Sorry for giving you false hope but you see this is my first time targeting a spy, I didn't want to kill a civilian by mistake, a reasonable fear to have, thank you, now I'm confident that I didn't make any mistake,"
He said looking at the woman slowly close her eyes while being lifted in the air by the adamantine chain.
The woman's body was then stored in a scroll before he moved to another residence where another spy was hidden.
He jumped toward another room.
The moment the spy opened his eyes to attack his opponent he met two blazing red eyes staring dagger at him and fell under illusion.
Stabbing his opponent in the heart Akashi jumped toward another house after cleaning.
'It's almost frightening easy I adapt to things like that,'
On another side of the town, Arima was jumping from roof to roof.
When Akashi started to move toward his second target, Arima was moving toward his fourth target.
Even though he was only twelve years old Arima his strength always impressed everyone, he was a genius among geniuses at twelve years old he was already close to becoming a jonin, and arguably already had the strength of one.
"This is unfortunate that they are all so weak, hope I will have a good fight tomorrow, they should be ready by now," he said jumping into another room.
Most ninjas sent as spies on prolonged missions in other nations particularly in remote places like this one are often normal people and genin-level ninjas and sometimes chunin.
Jonin are nearly never sent trained as spies and if this is for a short period even the ones trained for this specific purpose because they are too precious for missions like that.
"Woosh" Entering the room of his next target he severed the head of the spy in one move with a simple kunai instantly killing him.
This spy like most of the others before them dies helplessly without being able to even react.
After storing the corps away
"Cone jutsu" With a hand sign he created a clone next to him
"Take care of everything," with that he left the room while the clone started to store everything in the room
"Always leaving us the shores,"
In a few seconds, Arima was at the house of another target,
"Clang,"
'You are better than the other' Arima thought looking at the man that had managed to survive his surprise attack.
"were you waiting for me," he asked.
"With someone as high profile as the Daimyo's son in town you need to stay sharp," the spy said pushing Arima away.
"You weren't the only ones who stayed alert. But you were the first who managed to react in time,"
In an instant, the two flickered in the room at great speed and the sound of weapons clashing together resonated in the room and multiple sparks illuminated the room.
The two ninjas battle in the house for a few seconds and it didn't take long for them to destroy the furniture in the house and scare the walls around.
But very quickly the spy fell at a disadvantage he started to bleed at nearly every contact with Arima.
After all, Arima was stronger, faster, had a better technique, and more chakra, he was overall stronger.
'Is he toying with me?' he thought before quickly he responded to his own question 'Yes, he is not taking it seriously, I need to at least make some noise to alert the others it will be my revenge,'
'You will regret playing with me," the ninja screamed using all his strength he pushed Arima away and with a few quick hand seals.
"wind style: wind cutter,"
A long horizontal wind attack ruched toward Arima
The spy smiles satisfied with his act of defiance.
An attack like this will be felt by the ninjas and spies in the city.
And seeing Arima evade he got even more pleased but it didn't last long as the attack that slammed on the wall was canceled and the wall remained intact.
"It's useless the room I already sealed the room but, well done,"
Was the last thing he heard before the chakra-coated fist of Arima slammed him on the ground
"I will keep you alive for interrogation," he said, and a glowing chained shout out of Arima's back wrapped itself around the spy.
"Crack,"
With another hand seal the chain broke and fixed itself on the ground
"I will be back for you,"
On her side, Karin arrived at the house of her target
Putting her hand on the wall she created a seal that spread everywhere isolating the place.
Her actual eyes were closed as her mind eye had been activated since well before she arrived here.
Karin was one of the most talented sensory Uzumaki of her generation, contrary to the other she could move while in a state of concentration.
She could see from the aura of the person inside that he hadn't noticed anything wrong until now even though he was still awake.
Without making a sound Karin infiltrated the house and making full use of her mind eyes to guide her emotions and steps she made her way toward her unsuspected opponent.
It was only when she was three meters away that the man noticed her.
He immediately attempted to flicker away by it was already too late as a cold weapon sliced his neck.
Karin looked at the man whose life she had just taken with a hint of guilt in her eyes.
"Sorry I'm not yet at that level, I would have preferred you didn't feel that," she said storing the body of the man away.
With her mind's eyes, Karin was capable of reading people's emotions very easily so when she killed someone she was always very aware of what they felt in their last moment, this is why one of her goal is to, as much as possible give her opponent a quick, painless and peaceful death.
With that, she also moves to her next target.
The operation of cleaning that the young Uzumaki had entamed didn't take more than an hour.
In about an hour, they cleaned the town of fifty spies, and all the spies present in the town were cleanly and quietly eliminated.
Under the cover of the night the old Kuroko who was observing the frightening experience with which the kids dispatched their enemies brought a satisfied smile to the lips of the old man.
"Well done kids, well done,"
