Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Slave Bandits!
"Huh…" Madara looked baffled at the corpses of bandits two bandits on the ground who came running and attacked him but but now were on the ground as more than nothing but a piles of corpses, he was really baffled, they were weaker… of he had to put a shinobi term weaker than a genin.
Of course they could defeat a genin with their number but if they had a fight with a genin in 1v1 they would have lost most of the time.
He didn't put much strength in his punches and with just that force they were facing the opposite direction now.
Madara looked at the others as they took a step back with a gulp, but that too just lasted a few seconds as bandits came running at him now with numbers hoping to defeat him.
First bandit came with a razor sharp blade and swung at his head, only for him to side step and dodge it instantly, after that he grabbed his neck with only one hand lifting him in the air.
Another bandit came with a sword and attacked him hoping to stab him in his stomach, Madara without any effort just positioning the other bandit's body in front of the sword.
That bandit's eyes weren't even open for him to see that he had just stabbed his companion, only a smile on his face as he felt that his sword stabbed the unknown man, and after opening his eyes only to see his companion's blood on his sword as it impaled him.
Madara threw the impaled struggling body from his hand after taking the bandit sword.
Madara's body blurred from his position and after that one bandits' body dropped on the ground but without a head.
Just after that headless body came a new one as he ran towards Madara with a sword in his hand, "Fuccck you bastard." And just like before Madara blurred amd the next thing the running bandit felt was his strength leaving his body.
The running bandit's heart was impaled from behind, "w…whe-n…" escaped his mouth as he couldn't believe how he get behind him, just a second before he was in front of his eyes some distance away.
And like the running bandit came the other twelve bandits more except the leader who was standing near the Carriage.
The other bandits fates were same like the two before.
"Ahh…wai…t."
"Nooooo"
These were the words of bandits who were even able to utter some words before falling dead.
Some hearts were impaled some were headless, In all in, no one was alive except the leader whose cheeky amd arrogant smile was now replaced with that of realization of a horror.
All fourteen bandits were now dead, it didn't even take 3 seconds for madara to do that, and their leader, now wimpy like a kid, was standing with support from the carriage, not even running or most likely his legs not even listening to him.
"W…wh-at doo youu want? Is it money? Or Someone hir…ed you?"
The leader of the bandits managed to utter those words while his legs gave up on him and he also pissed himself and then fell onto the ground.
He was feeling fear.
"Do you think you have the advantage of being able to ask me such a question?"
Madara said as he stepped one step back and looked directly at the bandit leader.
The children were scared, not even crying as they looked at the bloody massacre behind the unknown man.
"Wwhat doo you waant?"
"Where is the hidden leaf village?" Madara asked his first question in a deep voice. He wanted to get over this knot in his mind.
"What village is that? I've never heared of thatt village… please just let me go…!"
"Now that's off, it seems like my hypothesis was correct… a different dimension but not just that… being alive is most definitely a strange thing." Madara mutter to himself.
Madara doing some deductions comes to his Another question as to why he came here and that is the children locked in the cage.
"Where are you taking those children to in a cage?"
Madara asks as he focuses on the children in a cage with bruises on their body, tears in their eyes and snots in their noses.
"We… captured them, we were going to the town to sell them to a slave trader, so that we can get some money."
Madara wasn't unknown to the slave system, it existed in the shinobi world too, and mostly in his era, where war was everywhere.
One of his many reasons for a world peace so that children do not suffer such fate, there wasn't any such system when he created the hidden leaf village with hashirama but that too was true when he lived in the village and didn't leave.
In a few years that too was accomplished by Tobirama, one of the students, where that student brainwashed the kids in the academy and let them join him for the so-called village peace.
They created that village so that that generation children do not have to go to war and suffer fates and life like they did, live a life that is acceptable for the kids, enjoy, play, make friends, and so more the things they weren't able to do as kids.
"Please let me go… I won't do such things anymore… I will live quietly in some remote village….."
The bandit leader was just Pleading for his life as a Sword was now struck in his chest only for him to just grumble some words till he died.
"So noisy for a dead man." Madara said as he now looked at the children in a cage.
But before he killed him he already put him in his genjutsu for questions and he acquired every possible answer to his question, like in this world there is no chakra but an alternate power source called Mana.
And magicians used them to perform magic as shinobi use chakra to perform jutsu, there are demons, many different races, High Churches, Royal Family, Empire, Heroes, Demon Kings.
And he and many others like him make a living by selling other species as slaves and not just other species but humans too.
For anything else he had to go to the nearest town for some more information or confirming that those answers were credible or not.
The children were now even more scared of the man than the bandits as they thought now they would die like the bandits from the unknown man.
"Are you okay?" Madara asked the children as he tapped the cage. Children in cages cower in fear as they now were not even able to see the face because of the madara hair shadow on his face while his other half face covered in a bang.
All they were able to see were one red eye that shone like a diamond in that shadow.
It wasn't the first time for Madara to be seen like this, it happened so many times sometime at an early age he would even think that he was cursed or something or that children just didn't like his face.
He can't really change that as of now.
Madara opens the cage by bending the steel pipes in the front so that all of the children can get out of it.
While Madara was doing this the bandit leader was thinking of escaping as he stood on his legs barely and making his way towards the forest thinking he can get out of here from the forest.
Madara, seeing the bandit leader's pitiful struggle threw a black rod at his head and it impaled the bandit leader's head hanging it from the tree, his lifeless body was now like a showcase for the other.
….
Few minutes later children were calm down as Madara healed their wounds from his medical ninjutsu, though he wasn't really a medical ninjutsu he did learn it on a whim after leaving the village.
"Do you have somewhere else to go?" Madara asks as he looks at them.
Not replying verbally they just reply with their heads and not any of them have one.
"Will you kill us too?" A girl with dog ears and tail spoke with fear despite being so scared.
"Huh? Why would I have healed you if I was going to kill you?" Madara said in a joking manner, as it was best to let them be easy and not scared.
'I have to take care of them for now. Until I can find somewhere they can live without any worry.'
Madara looked at the sky as he sighed. He never in his dream would have thought things would go like this, he just got one answer from one of many in his mind.
'Who summoned me here? I can't just pop up here unknowingly, someone is behind this. Someone powerful enough to bring me back alive and also in another dimension.'
"Hey! You kid. Where is the nearest town from here?" Madara asked even though he was speaking casually with his stiff voice all the kids straightened their backs instantly.
Sadly he forgot about asking for direction to the nearest town as in his mind there were some more important question other than some directions to town.
"W-we don't know sir… we have never gone alone outside of the village." The girl with bunny ears and small puff like tail answered.
….
Madara sent out his clone to every direction for any other information or the nearby location or village from here.
Though not necessarily needing money he had taken up all the coins from those bandits he killed and behind him were the five children he rescued following him slowly.
He had already healed all the children from their bruises and injuries though they were still scared of him even though he just saved them.
"Wwill you be going to kill us sir?" This was the tenth time that the kids asked this question to him even though he repeatedly said no, it seems that they didn't trust him, and they didn't stop asking this question as Madara didn't shout at them for asking this questions repeatedly on the contrary their voices were being louder and unshaken like they were recovery.
"For the tenth time… No!" Madara answered again.
"Will you be selling us as slaves?" Asked the other kid.
"No! I'm going to keep you for now. I will figure it out later as to what to do with you all." After a few miles where Madara took a break for kids in the middle now he was able to see the nearby town with big walls and a big gate where there were many people standing in line to get in.
There were two guards who were inspecting everyone and checking everyone's identity proof for entering.
….
Madara was now in line and now he can even hear the guards speaking as they let the person enter after checking them.
Here in this oocation there is racial discrimination for other races other than humans, they only like other races as slaves with collars, as he can see it on the side as there were some common other races people standing aside as they let only humans go into town.
Though they don't directly show it but by their actions anyone can tell that they don't like other races as with even checking their identity they let them stand aside for something and let the humans go inside.
He can even hear the people in front of him as they make jokes and laugh at them swearing and even going as far as telling the ladies of other races to just abusing them in open and others didn't do anything, not even the one they were saying to, they just listen as they are used to this.
He looked at the children and then at front as he walked forward to the guard. The guards let the human who was throwing abusive language at the other races go and now it was his turn.
"Where did you come from? And are they your slave? And where are their slave collars?" Said one of the guards with a distinctive disgust look as he looked at the children.
"I come from a faraway land. And no, they aren't slaves. Though I don't think there would be any problem." Madara answered with a stoic voice as he looked at them in their eyes, now they were already in his Genjutsu.
"Let them go too." Madara orders and guards complied to his orders or to be exactly their mind and body as he steps into the town with the other five children following him from behind.
