Chapter 62: Change of Mindset
If Ino controls a bandit and then insults him with words like "fat pig" or "fatty", it will definitely arouse Choji's fighting spirit, but that is limited to fighting spirit and will not turn into killing intention. This energy comes quickly and goes away quickly. In the next battle, will she control another enemy to insult him? This is not a long-term solution.
She could only use the most clichéd words: "Cingci, I won't talk to you about the big principles, just something simple. Do you remember what the third grandfather said before we set off?"
In Ino's eyes, the Third Hokage was just an old politician who was lustful and lacked decisiveness, but in the hearts of a group of young and female ninjas, he was definitely the embodiment of kindness, benevolence and justice, the most perfect ninja.
The Third Hokage was in power for nearly forty years and fought in three Ninja World Wars, winning all three times. The prestige he accumulated was not fake. Not to mention Ino, even the father and grandfather of Ino-Shika-Chou combined could not compare to the prestige of the Third Hokage.
Shikagawa was very convinced of the Third Generation and at this moment he looked thoughtful.
Ino continued, "Grandfather Sandai said that they have committed many evil deeds. You are so kind, can you just watch them do evil and bully the villagers? Punishing evil is to promote good!"
I have to say that the skill of mouth-to-mouth is actually still useful. After Naruto got the news that Jiraiya was killed in the battle, he really hated Nagato. He probably had never been so sad in his life. In the end, he was able to put aside this hatred, which was also related to Jiraiya's teachings and his own persuasion.
Did she convince Choji at this point? Ino didn't know. Anyway, after she finished speaking, the haze in her heart caused by the murder had dissipated a lot.
That’s right, punish evil and promote good! Thinking this way, I feel much better.
"Cingci, it's not wrong to be kind-hearted. You don't need to apologize to me. There's nothing wrong with sticking to your bottom line. But at the same time, don't let down those who trust you. Don't waste your talent. Protect the kind people and punish the evil ones."
Ino looked righteous and summed it up: "With great power comes great responsibility!"
It can be seen that there is something completely different in Shikamaru's eyes.
Ino coughed at the right time, and Shikamaru, who was covered in blood in the distance, staggered immediately. In order to make his good brother change his mindset, he was determined enough. He did not dodge the naginata in the bandit's hand, as if he could not dodge it in time, and let the other party cut a bloody wound on his arm.
"Shikamaru!? You are not allowed to bully Shikamaru!" Seeing his good friend injured, Choji could no longer bear it. He threw out a "human bomb chariot" and smashed the bandit who had injured Shikamaru into a bloody mass of flesh.
"With great power comes great responsibility?" Asuma pondered this sentence carefully. As a young man who left the village due to rebellion, the more he thought about it, the more profound it seemed to him.
He did not regret what he did back then. When he was young and frivolous, who hadn't made mistakes? But now that he thought about it, he had failed many people's expectations and had not taken on the responsibilities that he should have taken.
Kakashi, who started killing people at the age of six, didn't think there was any deep meaning in these words. To him, the greater his ability, the more people he killed. He had killed more people than Ino and the others had ever seen. He had been surrounded by darkness since he was a child and had basically never seen the bright world. Ino's words to fool the child had no effect on him at all.
When Asma wanted to discuss something with him, he just responded with "hmm" and "ahh".
The bandits tried to resist, but with the blessing of chakra, the strength and speed of the ninjas were far superior to those of ordinary people. Even Sakura, who had a low willingness to fight, could easily kill the bandits. The six of them were unstoppable and completed the task of clearing out the bandits after an hour.
The bandit leader, the tall curly-haired man named Buggy, was knocked down by Shikamaru with one punch, and the bandit Dongfeng who lured them into the trap was also dragged out of the second checkpoint which was almost in ruins by Choji.
The two leaders were captured, and the remaining bandits were unable to resist and could only kneel down and surrender.
When he heard that everyone was looking for the village chief's granddaughter and they were seriously short of manpower, Naruto's desire to show off in front of his classmates overwhelmed his desire to kill. It was really "It's fun to show off for a while, and it's fun to keep showing off!"
His multiple shadow clones finally worked. Hundreds of shadow clones were created in an instant, searching room by room, not sparing rice jars, cupboards, and under the bed. Finally, they found the village chief's granddaughter, a little girl who looked about six or seven years old, in a secret room of the bandit leader.
Everyone was so busy killing each other that they had long forgotten about this mission. It was Shikamaru who finally remembered it.
Once the hostages are rescued, the rest will be easy.
There were more than two hundred bandits, and roughly a hundred of them were burned to death, drowned, or killed by the six of them, and the rest were all injured.
Class 7 and Class 10 are here to train, see some blood, and gain some practical experience, not to massacre, so that's enough.
"Hey." Ino looked at the bandit leader, Buggy.
The bandit leader was quite tough, sticking his neck out and saying nothing. The bandit Dongfeng standing next to him, on the other hand, kowtowed repeatedly, saying things like "Please, Lord Ninja, spare my life."
Ino is just a vulgar person. She looks down on those who try hard to curry favor with her, but she admires this man who is so powerful and unyielding.
"Hey, aren't you afraid of death? We killed more than half of your men today, and forty or fifty of them were killed by me. I don't mind killing one more."
Bucky sneered: "Kill if you want to, no need to say more."
"Are you not afraid of death?"
"What's the use of being afraid?"
The bandit Dongfeng on the side kept chattering: "Master Ninja, please spare my life! I am afraid of death, spare my life, I am willing to do anything!"
Ino knocked the guy out with one punch. Why are you talking so much? Why don’t you tell me what skills you have? Is it any use just shouting for mercy?
She asked Bucky nonchalantly, "I heard from this guy that you designed the copycat? Do you know anything about architecture?"
Bucky was a little curious and looked at her carefully. His lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end.
"Okay, you're a tough guy. Serve your sentence well and don't die." Ino turned and left.
She left a glimmer of hope to Bucky, who seemed to know a lot about architecture, and then went to clean up the battlefield.
Apart from anything else, the shuriken and senbon that were thrown out before must be picked up again. Naruto can’t get away with it this time. She not only picked up ninja tools, but also other things.
The properties in the mountain stronghold were spoils of war during the ninja mission and did not need to be handed over to the village. Shikamaru, Sakura and the others were still adjusting their mindsets after killing people. Their faces were pale and Choji was vomiting all over the place. They had no interest in the dilapidated mountain stronghold, but Ino started to loot it with great enthusiasm.
