Hodaka and Mieko looked at each other. Although Feng Zheng had cut off her legs, Sakai Nagaka was still alive.
Their competitive spirits soared, both wanting to deliver the final blow. They immediately charged towards Sakai Nagaka.
Mieko attacked with Shuriken and kunai embedded with Exploding Tags, while Hodaka attacked with Vacuum Palm.
Feng Zheng noticed his two teammates and also launched an attack. He swung his sword vertically, and a flying slash shot out, aiming to cleave her in two.
Renjiro, who had been looking at his students with a smug expression, was instantly dumbfounded! He thought to himself.
"She has already lost her legs. We can capture her and extract information from her. Why are you so eager to kill her?"
The other eight Chunin were also stunned by the aggressiveness of these three children.
Sakai Nagaka's eyes widened. Although she had lost her teammates and her legs, she did not want to die.
She quickly performed a few Hand Seals, enveloping herself in a Water Prison Technique.
Hodaka's attack arrived first. The Vacuum Palm pierced into the water prison.
But Sakai Nagaka retreated within the water prison, and the attack passed through the water prison without causing any damage.
Next, Mieko's attack arrived. The Shuriken were blocked by the water, but the explosion caused some commotion. However, the Water Prison Technique remained intact.
Feng Zheng's slash arrived last. The slash easily cut the water prison in half.
However, Sakai Nagaka moved to one side of the water prison, avoiding the attack. The wind accompanying the slash was also weakened by the water.
Nonetheless, this slash ultimately dispelled the Water Prison Technique. Sakai Nagaka fell heavily to the ground.
Despite her terrible condition, she managed to stand up using her hands.
Just as Feng Zheng, Hodaka, and Mieko were about to make their move, Renjiro flashed behind her.
He struck her on the back of her head, knocking her unconscious. He looked at his students and said.
"If you can take them hostage, do so when the situation allows. Don't kill for the sake of winning!"
This instantly made his students embarrassed! They did not answer and timidly retreated.
After the battle, the five Chunin who had been hiding also emerged.
The seven Chunin who arrived later had not contributed anything and felt somewhat ashamed.
Most of the work had been done by children less than half their age. Only Inuzuka Hoka smiled and thought.
"Now they know how I feel!"
They all observed Sakai Nagaka. She was lying face down, unconscious.
Her legs had been severed, and she had lost a lot of blood. She had multiple wounds on her thighs and abdomen. Her clothes were tattered.
Renjiro opened a scroll and summoned a Sealing Jutsu from it. He placed the Sealing Jutsu on Sakai Nagaka's back and made a gesture. The Sealing Jutsu immediately spread throughout her body.
Feng Zheng glanced at it and asked.
"Is that a Chakra Suppression Seal?"
Renjiro nodded and said.
"Yes, once she wakes up, her Chakra will be unusable unless I or a Seal Master removes it."
Feng Zheng saw Sakai Nagaka's Chakra being sealed and thought.
"I thought only Jiraiya made these for Naruto... But the ones he made should be advanced, because ordinary Chakra Sealing Jutsu might not work on a Jinchuriki."
Renjiro looked at the patrol team and asked.
"Are there any Medical Ninja among you?"
A Ninja stepped forward and said.
"I am. I can use Mystical Palm Technique."
Renjiro stepped aside and said.
"Stop her bleeding first."
The Medical Ninja stepped forward and performed Mystical Palm Technique on her wounds.
Since she had many wounds, it took him a considerable amount of time to stop her bleeding. After stopping the bleeding, he bandaged her body.
While he was treating her, Mieko asked Renjiro.
"Teacher, since we are not injured, we can continue with the next part of the mission, right?"
Hodaka and Feng Zheng immediately looked at Renjiro. Renjiro nodded and said.
"Yes, we will rest tomorrow to recover our Chakra, and the day after tomorrow we will head to the Land of Hot Water."
Mieko smiled upon hearing this. Most Chunin don't even get the chance to perform a Rank A Mission. But she was about to complete her third!
Hodaka and Feng Zheng also smiled. Fighting real Ninja was much more interesting than fighting bandits.
Renjiro looked at his happy students and said.
"For now, collect their bodies."
They nodded and collected the bodies of the three dead Ninja.
After collecting them, they handed all the scrolls to Renjiro, who put them all into one scroll.
After the Medical Ninja finished treating Sakai Nagaka, Renjiro asked.
"How much longer will she be unconscious?"
The Medical Ninja thought for a moment and said.
"She lost a lot of blood, so she will be unconscious for at least a few more hours."
Renjiro thought for a moment and said.
"Alright, take her to the command outpost, and we'll go with you."
He nodded, picked up Sakai Nagaka, and placed her on his back.
The twelve Konoha Ninja ran towards the outpost where they had met Akimichi Seiichi.
Upon arriving at the outpost, Renjiro looked at one of the Chunin and said.
"Call Seiichi back."
The Chunin nodded and left.
Renjiro looked at the Medical Ninja carrying Sakai Nagaka and said.
"Tie her to a chair and gag her mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue and committing suicide."
The Medical Ninja nodded and entered the outpost.
A few minutes later, Seiichi returned to the outpost with three other Ninja.
Seiichi looked at Renjiro and thought.
"How did they come back so quickly?"
He looked at Renjiro and asked.
"Did you find them?"
Renjiro nodded and said.
"Yes, both invading teams have been dealt with. The six-person team all died, and the Jonin captain of the second team was captured by us. The rest died."
Seiichi was greatly surprised upon hearing this! The Inuzuka Chunin standing behind him blurted out in disbelief.
"Impossible! We've been chasing them for over two days and found nothing! How did you eliminate them in two hours?"
Renjiro and his students glared at the Chunin who said that.
The Chunin realized his mistake and quickly said.
"Sorry, I didn't mean it like that."
Renjiro ignored him. Seiichi looked at his subordinate and thought.
"What he said is wrong. It's just that I wanted to say the same thing! I can understand Renjiro annihilating one team. But how were two teams dealt with so quickly?"
Renjiro noticed his former teammate's expression and smiled smugly. He handed him a scroll and said.
"Inside are the bodies of those nine Ninja, and the last one is imprisoned inside."
Seiichi sighed and took the scroll. He said in a frustrated tone.
"Even at this age, you can still surprise me."
Renjiro laughed and said.
"Well, this time it was mainly my students who performed well. However, my students are also tired, can you arrange a place for them to rest?"
Seiichi nodded and looked at a subordinate. The subordinate immediately arranged accommodation for the three.
Feng Zheng, Hodaka, and Mieko all ate a few ration bars and then went to sleep.
They had traveled a long distance that day and fought two battles!
