"Slash,"
With a powerful slash of his, Arima was able to cut down one of the bandits who fell lifeless on the ground
"Clang," he turned around and with his kunai stopped the katana targeting his neck,
"Clang, clang,..." he stopped attack after attack coming from all sides while avoiding the others
'They are adequately using their numerical advantage,' Arima though
"clang," taking out another kunai with his free hand he started to move faster with more precision and more vigor deflecting the attack coming from the twelve enemies surrounding him and inflicting damage at the slightest gap in their defense
A few meters away Akashi was using a completely different style of fight than his cousin
using his chakra on his legs and arms he was moving all around his enemies at great speed punching and kicking them from all sides, he was trying to overwhelm them and stop them from performing an adequate teamwork
'Opening,'
"Crack," in one punch he was able to deliver a powerful punch in the face of one of the bandits cracking his skull open and sending him flying
"You bastard!" they screamed in rage before attacking him with more ferocity and yet they were all somewhat coordinated
'This isn't as bad as I expected, as soon as we regain our calm it became a lot easier,' he analyzed
'They are well trained but that's nothing that we can't manage, I was too worried,' with that in mind while battling his opponent, he diverted a little of his attention toward Arima who was surrounded by twice the number of his opponent,
'He isn't taking that very seriously, he is even enjoying the situation,' he noticed how the initial worry had been replaced by a confident smile,
'Instead of using his jutsu and barely using the body flicker, I guess that without that he would be bored!Huh!'
While he was a little distracted one of the bandits was able to launch himself with his all strength to reach Akashi and deliver a powerful vertical strike with his katana coated with chakra
Redirecting all his attention on that man he put his hand in 'x' above his head
"Clang," the chakra-coated katana was stopped net above him, the strike was powerful enough that his feet sank into the ground stopping his movement
"Finally, now you're dead kid!!" exclaimed the bandit with a twisted smile on his face as he looked at Akashi
"Unfortunately for you, I'm not like my cousin Arima, I'm not a battle junky," the other bandits were using that opportunity to move around him
"You're dead!!" they screamed charging him
Due to the saying that he reactivated his Sharingan catching his opponent by surprise and putting him under genjutsu
The bandits moved toward them in an attempt to stab, when he lifted his right leg coated it with an amount of chakra before bringing it down
"Bang," the ground around them cracked enough to through the bandits of balance
Taking advantage of the opportunity that he created for himself he jumped, once he was high enough he performed a perfect round kick powerful and swift, and easily broke the neck of three of the six bandits.
"Noo," screamed the remaining three anger, fear, and hesitation surged in their mind, it was now becoming obvious that they couldn't win
But even before falling back down he put his hand in his tool bag and took out a ball that he threw on the ground
"puff," a smoke screen appeared surrounding everyone
"Clang, clang, bam, argh..." In the smoke screamed sound of fighting resounded for a few seconds before everything stopped
"Woosh,"
From the smoke screen a red-haired silhouette emerged running toward Arima who was now having fun with his opponents, who had been reduced to five
"Go ahead, try a little bit more," said Arima now twirling around them and taunting them while they were cursing him
"Damn kid,"
"I will avenge our brothers!"
"..."
While that was taking place Akashi swiftly
Taking advantage of the distraction he swiftly arrived near one of the bandits who feeling his presence used his katana to block the attack, but it was useless
With one powerful punch, Akashi broke the sword and continued his course toward his neck
"Snap," the strike was so strong that the bandit was sent flying a few meters before crashing onto the ground
"I came to help!" said Akashi looking at his cousin with a little smile
"I don't need help, you're ruining my fight," he responded displeased by Akashi's intervention
"Your appearance says otherwise," At that moment Arima remarked that his clothes had indeed been a little damaged during the fight, he had suffered a few injuries but they had already healed
"I was having fun," While the two were having this conversation the bandits started to feel their shame and anger rise even further and they jumped into actions
"How dare you ignore us, damn it,"
"Argh..."
The charge fueled by rage they try to kill the two kids, but that doesn't change anything about the situation they both dodge and parry effortlessly while having a casual conversation
"How much time passed?" Arima asked, he had lost track of the time during his fight
"Five minutes, should we go see how the others are doing, you never know what may happen in a fight, plus you must have noticed that this is probably a test, we will probably get graded," Said Akashi killing another of the bandit
"If we get graded I'm probably getting a failing grade for having fun with them instead of just accomplishing the mission, Hm," with that in mind Arima decided to end that, employing his body flicker technique he was able to blitz the poor bandits and slice their throats before they could realize what happened,
"Woah," Akashi exclaimed he barely saw what happened, he wanted to he knew that he would have to rely on his eyes, and he wasn't yet proficient even though his body had already adapted to them, this is why he still switched them off and on from time to time.
"Okay, now let's see how the others are faring, I'm going toward Karin and Akane, you go see Garik," they were about to depart when they heard
"No need, we are here," Karin and Akane appeared beside them
"We are done, let's assist Garik," said Karin
Nodding they moved through the trees, on the way Akashi noticed that the two girls had a few injuries on them, but nothing severe with Karin being the one who received the most injuries
'Understandable, after all, Akane who was the smaller one of the two is more fit to be a support ninja with her sensory abilities
'This is rare to develop the sensory ability that soon from what I know,'
"They are in front of us," the voice of Akane resounded, a few second later we could hear the sound of clashing weapons
"I see them,"
In front of them, Garik was furiously assaulting his opponent with a kunai who could do nothing other than defend himself
A few meters behind was a bandit with an arc draw
"Careful!!" Karin screamed seeing an arrow rushing toward his back
He didn't seem to notice or hear Karin's warning, making them panic, but nearly at the last moment he moved away
"Arg..." The arrow narrowly missed him before logging itself in the body of the other bandit who screamed in pain before being swiftly ended with a strike of the kunai
With that done Garik calmly turned around to look at the remaining banding who threw away their weapon and started to run away but he was quickly killed by Garik with a kunai in the back
"You really thought I was gonna let you run, you piece of shit," he said taking an arrow from his shoulder
"Damn, it hurt,"
Arriving before Garik Akane immediately took out a first aid kit to help him
"Thank you," he expressed his gratitude,
"So I was the last one to end my fight, huh," he said recognizing the situation
"that sucks,"
"Yup, so how long did that take," asked Arima to Akashi but it was a voice behind him who answered
"Eight minutes and twelve seconds, could have been much better,"
They turned around to see the old teacher Kuroko behind them
"But this isn't that bad, considering that you two spend a lot of time adjusting your powers or having fun," he said the last word in a darker tone
"You should avoid playing with the lives of people even if they are the worst kind of scum, and definitively not enjoy that," It was obvious that the last words were directed to Akashi and his cousin Arima who didn't take the fight seriously, and even enjoyed tormenting their opponent a little.
"Let's go back, you need to go back rest, and reflect about the..."
"Woop," while the old man was talking Karin bent down and threw up a little, now that the situation had calmed the weight of what they did came back up
Karin was throwing up, Akane a little pale herself was rubbing her back and Garik was seated in silence
'I guess this is the normal reaction, I'm the odd one for not feeling any discomfort after killing that many people,' he thought before turning to his cousin who was equally completely fine, in fact, he was pretty nonchalant about the whole thing.
"Or not!"
