Third Person POV
Country of Hot Water.
...
...
In a forest in the middle of the Hot Water country, a man surrounded by others watched the wagons arriving at their hideout with satisfaction. "Ha, finally we've got new shipments, and these are big ones!" said the man, who was a bandit leader organizing his camp in the middle of the forest.
Watching his men bring more and more sets of supplies after looting a passing merchant company, he was pleased. They were excited to have found a great profit here.
"Look, boss, it wasn't just supplies. Look at all these women," one of his men said as he gestured towards a cage full of frightened women crying over the deaths of their husbands on the road.
"That's good, we're doing very well acting in these lands. We've been at it for a month and no dangerous person has come to fight us, just some foolish mercenaries we easily killed," he said with a malicious smile.
They quickly began to organize the camp while storing the new wagons, preparing a feast to celebrate their loot, meanwhile, there were three people watching from afar, all masked, unbeknownst to the bandits that they were being observed at that moment.
Naruto had his cloak stirring with the wind as he intently watched that scum, feeling through his haki everything that was happening in the camp. After sensing all the enemies, Naruto saw that he didn't even need to act.
He looked at his companions who looked back at him waiting for him to give an order, he raised his hand and pointed forward, signaling for them to act while he would just watch.
The duo quickly acted, with Kimimaro advancing in the air while looking at the terrain and quickly seeing how to deal with these men. He saw a group and Kimimaro simply raised his hand as a bone flew out of his palm, striking the enemy who had no time to react as he was pierced by a bone and hitting two more behind him, while the others nearby, were stunned seeing one of their companions simply flying while bleeding with a huge bone embedded in their bodies.
"We're being attacked! What is this, a bone?" One of the bandits in the group soon shouted alerting all the others. But before they could do anything near their dead companions, Akame appeared with her kunai, hitting the first man in the neck.
The others also quickly drew their weapons and began to launch at the girl who looked at them with her Sharingan seeing them move in slow motion. She met them and began to deflect all attacks as she started to cut them down.
"What is this, a ninja child?" they said seeing the size of Akame killing their enemies every moment.
"Damn, use the arrows," a bandit exclaimed as Akame began to deflect and Kimimaro soon joined as well, starting to use his bones to create claws and cut down the enemies.
"Kill him!!" the leader shouted trying to eliminate these invaders.
"..." Kimimaro remained silent as he found himself surrounded by 20 people trying to kill him.
"You freak!" one of them shouted after seeing him extracting bones from his own body.
He created a sort of spear pulling from his arm over 2 meters long, while he spun it quickly and began to face 20 people at once, dodging and attacking and eliminating more and more bandits with the fight.
On the other side, some shot arrows at Akame, but she quickly began to combat with her kunais and catching some with her hand while relaunching them at the attackers, hitting their necks and killing them.
The bandits saw that the fight was a disaster for them and began to flee, Naruto didn't need to tell his companions to finish off all of them, even the last one as they ran into the forest, which was quite easy to deal with for Kimimaro and Akame.
Naruto watched all this as they finally eliminated the last of them, feeling satisfied with the performance of both. A flash appeared right after the last one fell, with Naruto approaching.
"Very well, that was quick," he spoke behind his mask.
"Well, that wasn't even a challenge," Akame commented and Kimimaro remained silent.
"Anyway, we should take them to the client." Naruto spoke, and Kimimaro began collecting all the bodies putting them inside a storage scroll. On the other side, the women looked at them scared while Akame went to the cages before breaking them, setting them free.
"What will you do with us?" one of them asked, frightened.
"You should return to the town," Naruto spoke this time. "Unfortunately, we cannot accompany you, but we will notify them to send a search party. You should take the horses and get back to the road, after all, the blood will attract wild animals." He said and returned to the camp.
"You can take whatever you want, but the gold is ours," he told the women, as he began to sense the entire area with his haki and quickly started collecting the gold and anything of value.
Naruto placed everything in front of his companions for them to store in the scrolls. "Well, this is more than the last," Naruto couldn't help but comment, satisfied. "Anyway, let's go back," he said to his companions, as both nodded.
They then left the camp and went to a nearby town, alerting them that they had eliminated the bandit group and that some former prisoners needed help.
After notifying the town guards, they nodded, already familiar with Naruto and the others for having done work nearby. Then, they returned towards the town in the middle of the country, where the guild was, taking a few hours to arrive before dark.

They entered the town and reached the guild with the security clearing the way in front. As soon as they entered the place, everyone looked at them.
"Look, it seems they've returned once again," one commented, drinking his drink and looking towards the door as Naruto and the others approached.
"Who are they?" one of the men at his side asked, not recognizing those newcomers.
"You don't know because you left over a week ago, it's been seven days since this group entered this guild. They started taking D Rank missions and completed one after another, leaving no other bounty hunting missions for anyone here," he explained, surprising the man.
"They took all the D Rank missions, but I still remember there was a whole board!" the same one who didn't recognize them complained.
"You didn't see them, they came back to the guild 2 or even 3 times this week, finishing the missions..." He said, looking serious. "You know what's weirder about these 3 kids?" He said.
"What?" the man asked, swallowing hard.
"It's that there are no witnesses; they kill all the bandits, they're bloodthirsty kids, you have to be careful around them," he warned.
Naruto was already used to this attention over the last week; they executed almost all the missions in record time. Everyone only talked about them, especially how mysterious they were to them, it was hard to know that Akame had Sharingan eyes due to her mask or Naruto shining like light before moving at such speed, but Kimimaro's powers were harder to hide.
Even so, many rumors circulated about them, they said one throws bones, another has red eyes and is very fast, but the worst is the one with that strange cloak labeled 'Justice'. They say he hardly acts, but when he does, he's so fast he commits a massacre without anyone being able to react. They had already heard he had taken down 50 people in a matter of 10 seconds, according to some victims he rescued," he said.
"What nonsense is this? I've never seen anyone do that. No one should do such a thing," the man retorted, not believing those words.
"Take it from me, everyone says he moves so fast that no one can react. Definitely, these are people not to mess with. He even threw a man against that wall they just fixed. Didn't you see? It was the boy who created that, throwing another mercenary simply because he interrupted his passage, the man is in the hospital with broken bones," he warned.
Naruto ignored all the conversations as he continued to the counter. There was the bartender again, cleaning glasses while removing his cloth. He looked, satisfied, at a clean glass and turned his gaze to the arriving group. "Well, you guys seem to have made a quick round," he said with a small smile.
"Hello, Clovis," Naruto greeted him, already familiarizing himself with the man. Naruto had a strong suspicion that this was the big boss of the place, after all, he took care of everything and he was much stronger than he appeared.
"Here," Akame began placing the scrolls with the bodies from their last mission on the counter.
"Ok, we'll check this later," he was going to compensate them starting tomorrow, as soon as they confirm that the mission was executed. But he hadn't finished. "You joined the guild a week ago and have already completed all possible missions, you will be ranked as C mission from tomorrow, which is a record for a week and I'm quite surprised," he said, stroking his mustache.
"Hunting bandits isn't a difficult thing," Naruto commented.
"I know, there are many ninjas who would do the job quickly, but for children? And I'm sure you are children, no use denying it, after all, either you came from some place where people don't grow up, or you are children," he commented with a small smile.
"Anyway, there's a client who's interested in you," He spoke before any of them could respond.
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.
"You're quite famous in the guild now, after all, you're doing one job after another, even two or three a day. Rumors spread, you know that, and some clients have heard. There's one interested, he wants a good team to guard a celebrity or something like that. How about you meet them?" said the bartender while Naruto appeared thoughtful.
Akame and Kimimaro waited for Naruto's response, then he turned to look at the bartender. "Yes, okay, we'll accept the talk," Naruto said, and the bartender nodded as he began to leave the guild under everyone's gaze.
They went to an inn in the town and did not mind being followed, even if people tried to see their faces behind the masks. Naruto could detect an intruder with his haki.
Then, the next day, they returned to the guild while the bartender was pleased in the same place. "The bodies are confirmed, here is the money," he said, handing over a pouch afterward. "Now let's go to our client. See that man sitting there with glasses?" he pointed to a man at a table who looked at them without worrying about showing his face. "You can talk to him about the mission."
Naruto nodded, leaving the bar and approached, leading the small group, and sitting in front of him, the man did not stop analyzing them. "I've heard many things about you," he began, "but I was surprised when the description talked about small people, like children, and I must say they're not lying. However, I hope the reputation you are creating is true as well," he said. After all, he didn't want to hire an overly expensive service and could take advantage of rising young talents.
"Tell me about the job," Naruto went straight to the point.
"Great, I want you to protect a person while we are going to the Snow Country to do some filming for our star’s movie," he said.
"Working as a bodyguard..." Naruto murmured. "We might be doing a D level mission, but we also don't want something below what we would earn during this time being guards for you," Naruto said.
The man nodded. "Well, that's great because my client needs certain protection, as some people want to hunt her for being very famous," he said.
"And who is your client?" Naruto asked.
The man just smiled. "Have you heard of the famous Yukie Fujikaze?" he asked with a smile.
