I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 49: The longer the foreplay, the shorter the actual act for a man.

No one expected that Yuko Murata would speak up at this moment, and neither did Zhong Sheng. However, his men did not stop their actions. He did not think that these two troublemaking ordinary people would react.

However, a murderous intent towards Murata Yuko appeared in his eyes. After this matter was over, he was determined to kill Murata Yuko with his own hands!

"Pfft pfft~"

"Bang bang~"

Chu Sheng's kunai pierced the necks of Tatsuma and Minato, and the sound of sharp blades entering flesh rang out. The smiles on the ronin's faces froze on the spot, and Chu Sheng also froze on the spot.

Where Tatsuma and Minato stood, two plumes of smoke billowed out. The smoke quickly dissipated, and the two men, who were originally the height of adults, had turned into two short boys.

The kunai that Chu Sheng thrust out were positioned above the heads of the two men, meaning that Chu Sheng did not injure them at all. On the contrary, Tatsuma and Minato, who had returned to their original forms, each held a kunai and stabbed it into Chu Sheng's ribs.

This depth must have severely damaged Chunin's lungs. Even the strongest ninja would be weakened by severe lung damage, let alone Chunin who is not even outstanding in a small ninja village like Takigakure.

Tatsuma and Minato didn't stop there. They simultaneously wrapped their arms around behind him and, with perfect coordination, kicked Nakagaki in the back of the knee. Nakagaki instantly fell to his knees, and the two quickly pulled out ropes and tied him up.

The technique used was the binding method and knots taught in class that could effectively prevent escape. The sudden change caught the ronin off guard, and no one came to stop them.

In the blink of an eye, the ninja who was supposed to kill the two troublemakers was defeated by two children.

Not only was Ronin surprised, but Minato was also somewhat surprised. He never expected that Chunin, Chusho, would be defeated by them so easily, after all, the two of them were just graduated Genin.

Tatsuma, who had a clearer understanding of his own strength, was not surprised. Most ninjas did not have the ability to defeat "information," and even Jonin or the Kage of each village could be ambushed due to unequal information.

Chunin, who was also a tyrant among the common people and had completely forgotten to be wary, needless to say.

Except for a very few ninjas, the vast majority of other ninjas can be dealt with with just one kunai, let alone Tatsuma and Minato, who used two kunai.

"Minato, shall we go or shall we?"

After defeating Nakagaki, Tatsuma relaxed and smiled at Minato. Minato suppressed his surprise at how easily Nakagaki had been defeated, glanced around, and said, "I'll do it."

"Stop joking! You two kids!"

At this moment, a ronin seemed unable to accept what was happening before him and screamed in despair, but what awaited him was a shuriken that spun rapidly and swept across his neck.

As the ronin fell, Minato also vanished without a trace, just as Nakagaki had just disappeared using the Body Flicker Technique. However, compared to Nakagaki, who had stumbled, Minato performed much better.

In the blink of an eye, the ronin fell one by one. Those who participated in the murder of Murata Raku were killed directly by Minato, while the rest were knocked unconscious, ensuring that they would never be able to do evil again for the rest of their lives.

To put it more bluntly, it means stunning them while crippling them, for example, by severing their tendons and ligaments.

Soon, the only remaining ronin who hadn't died or been crippled was Yusuke, who was unconscious beside Yuko Murata. Minato instantly appeared in front of Yusuke, his kunai about to strike, when Tatsuma spoke up:

"Watergate!"

Hearing Tatsuma's call, Minato stopped. Tatsuma looked at Murata Yuko and said, "Do you want to do it yourself, or should we do it for you?"

Yuko Murata stared blankly around for a while before snapping out of her daze. She instinctively reached for the short sword in her pocket, looked at the unconscious Yusuke, her breathing rapid, but she quickly took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice:

"Please, please let me do it myself."

With trembling hands, Yuko Murata pulled out a short knife, untied the strips of cloth wrapped around the blade, and gripped the remaining cloth-wrapped part of the hilt with both hands. The tip of the knife hovered at Yusuke's chest, but he couldn't bring himself to drop it.

Minato couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to help resolve the situation, but Tatsuma stopped him again and then said to Murata Yuko, "Your younger brother wouldn't want to see you kill someone. If you feel uncomfortable, just leave it to us."

Upon hearing Tatsuma mention his younger brother, Murata Yuko, who had been hesitant, made up her mind and plunged the tip of her knife into Yusuke's heart. At the same time, her hand lost its grip on the hilt and slipped, cutting her on the blade.

But Yuko Murata seemed oblivious to the injury on her hand. As she watched Yusuke suddenly convulse, tears and a smile appeared simultaneously.

Tatsuma and Minato exchanged a glance, not bothering Murata Yuko, but instead binding the still-alive ronin on the ground together. After doing this, they prepared to leave with these people.

But then, Yuko Murata stopped crying and said, "Please wait a moment, I think I'd like to pour you both a drink."

She reached out, trying to grab the table beside her to stand up, only to find her hands covered in blood. She said hesitantly, "I...I'll go wash my hands first, wait for me, okay?"

Minato shook his head and said, "Sorry, but we don't drink."

Tatsuma didn't speak, but he tacitly agreed with Minato's statement. Yuko Murata looked disappointed. But at that moment, a voice rang out in the now deserted nightclub.

"You two silly boys, you can't refuse a girl's thanks."

Upon discovering that there were other people around, Murata Yuko suddenly became tense, and Jiraiya's figure emerged from the darkness.

Seeing Yuko Murata's nervous expression, Tatsuma took the initiative to introduce them: "This is our instructor, a Jonin. By the way, we are ninjas from Konoha."

"Thanks."

Yuko Murata didn't know what to say, so she could only say thank you. She then struggled to her feet and walked towards the bathroom. Jiraiya came to their side, patted their heads, and said:

"That's pretty good. It seems your talents aren't limited to academics."

Minato wore a shy smile, but his hands were covered in blood, and a few drops of blood were splattered on his face, making him look extremely incongruous.

Jiraiya looked at Tatsuma and said, "But...Tatsuma, are you really against killing?"

Jiraiya had been following their actions these past few days, and was therefore quite puzzled. Tatsuma seemed very resistant to this matter, but Tatsuma didn't deny it, nodding and saying:

"Killing is never a right thing to do. I may have countless lives on my hands in the future, but I will never think it is a right or praiseworthy thing."

Upon hearing Tatsuma's answer, Jiraiya nodded, looked at Minato, and said with a sigh, "Minato, you should understand what Tatsuma means, right?"

Minato nodded and said, "I understand. I will be more disciplined in the future."

"Well, you didn't do anything wrong this time either. These people have no reason to live; they're only needed for the mission."

Jiraiya patted the two on the shoulders, looked at Murata Yuko who came out of the restroom, took out a card from his hand, handed it to the two of them, and said:

"If you're not drinking, go rest at the hotel across the street. The rooms are booked, so you should relax a bit. I'll keep an eye on these people for you."
