As he approached the lit wooden hut, the sounds grew clearer.
The laughter and curses of men mingled with the sounds of flesh being whipped, along with the wails and cries for help of women.
Naruto could guess what was happening inside.
As a decent young man born in the mid-1990s of the past century, Naruto decided to perform an act of chivalry.
"Big Fox."
The abuse inside continued.
"Smack." A naked man wearing a Hidden Grass Village headband lashed a woman with a whip woven from green grass. Beside him, two equally naked men watched while smoking. Halfway through, they flicked their cigarette butts at the woman.
"Ah!!"
"The louder you scream..."
"Boom." A figure smashed through the wooden wall, kicking over two of the men and pinning the man with the whip against the wall by his neck.
Pressing a kunai against the man's heart, Naruto scanned the room. Two girls, around fifteen or sixteen years old, lay on a blood-red bedding. One was already unconscious, and the other was covered in wounds.
The redness of the bedding varied in intensity, with dried blood and mottled patches mixed with tangled hair and broken teeth and fingernails, indicating that it had been used for quite some time.
The conscious girl, disregarding her nakedness, reached out to Naruto, "Save... me."
The kunai pressed closer. Naruto's red, slitted pupils stared at the man beneath his sunglasses, and he lowered his voice, "You can harm life, but you cannot destroy innocence, understand?"
Though the words were crude, in this world, they held truth.
Because this was a world worse than death.
The living had all sorts of suffering, while the dead could let go of everything and reunite in the underworld.
Provided they had no regrets. Once they had regrets, they would be alone in the underworld, roasting in the fire until their regrets were resolved, only then would they seek out their loved ones.
And for a woman whose innocence had been destroyed, her regrets would last a lifetime.
Naruto tightened his grip. The man looked at the kunai with fear, his voice like a croaking duck, "Under... understood..."
"That's good." Naruto retracted his hand. Just as the man thought he had escaped, Naruto kicked him between the legs, confiscating his instrument of crime.
The familiar words echoed in the man's ears, "The louder you scream, the better."
The man was stunned for a moment, then, two seconds later.
"Aaaaah!!"
The shrill screams echoed within a thousand feet.
Tying up the man to keep him screaming and attract attention, Naruto picked up their three sets of clothes and tossed them to the conscious girl.
The clothes were a bit large, and the girl quickly put them on. After covering the unconscious girl with clothes, she picked up a piece of broken wood and walked shakily towards the two men whom Naruto had kicked unconscious, hesitating.
She wanted to strike, but she didn't dare...
She knew the consequences if she was discovered after taking action.
In the end, a lifetime of high-pressure living made her choose to give up. She returned to the unconscious girl's side, hugging her and sobbing.
Naruto simply watched her in silence. In his previous life, she would be in the age of biting her pen and glaring at the boy behind her pulling her hair.
But in this world, where laws were incomplete and the strong were respected, she had suffered such torment.
If it were someone else, they would likely go to comfort her. But Naruto didn't know how to comfort people. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What's your name?"
"Kika," the girl's choked voice came, "Thank you."
Naruto went over and tied up the two naked men, "You're welcome. What about her?"
"Chimi."
After rubbing an iron ingot to coat his shoe tips with iron, Naruto prepared to physically castrate the two men.
At the same time, he asked in a calm tone, "Where do you plan to go next?"
"Home," Kika said. Besides death, she only had home. There was no third path.
Seeing Naruto preparing to kick, Kika mustered her courage and interrupted, "Can... can I do it?"
"You can." Naruto put the iron shoe on the ground, then walked to the other naked man, covered his shoe, aimed, "I'll say, three, two, one, together."
"U-uh... okay..."
"One!" Naruto kicked out directly. He really didn't know how to comfort people and could only use this method to alleviate her sadness.
Kika was stunned, then followed suit and kicked.
"Aaaaah!!!" The pain of crushed balls woke the two men, and mixed with the first man's voice, they rose and fell in waves.
The third man's voice was noticeably louder, because Kika felt she didn't have enough strength and kept kicking.
While crying, she kicked, venting.
He didn't feel anything himself when she kicked, but watching her kick, Naruto only felt a chill between his legs. He remembered Sasuke's two slashes.
Taking down a tapestry, he draped it over her shoulders, "Alright, alright, people are coming."
They were screaming so miserably, they were bound to attract some patrols.
Then he crouched down by the wall and observed the outside. It was already dark, and it was even harder to see with sunglasses on. Taking off his sunglasses and observing for a moment, Naruto asked, "Do you two have family?"
According to Karin, Hidden Grass Village had many refugees and orphans.
Only then did Kika stop kicking, "No..."
Naruto activated his "Then come with me."
On the other side of the door was a private hospital in a passing small country.
The patrols were coming; Naruto had to send them away. If they had family, he would send them to other places; if they didn't, he would send them out of Hidden Grass Village.
"But we don't know how to do anything," Kika said self-deprecatingly. Years of independent living had taught her that there was no free lunch, but unfortunately she was a refugee and had no opportunity to learn anything, she didn't even recognize many characters.
"Can you cook?"
"Yes, but it might not be very tasty..."
"That's enough. Follow my clones." Naruto released five clones, each taking one person.
Including the three naked men.
Naruto, in both his lifetimes, hated rapists the most. If he didn't see them, that was one thing, but if he saw them, killing them directly would be letting them off too easy.
With everyone gone, Naruto waited for the patrols to arrive. Taking out oil, he poured it around the room, then he took several circular clay pots from his sealing space and stacked them neatly.
The clay pots were what Tazuna and his grandson used to blast fish. They weren't very powerful, but they were very loud, and there were a lot of them. Tazuna had contributed to building the bridge and was considered a leader by the people of the Land of Waves.
Whenever he blasted fish, he led a bunch of people to blast with him, and then Naruto bought them all up, giving them another source of income.
The patrol arrived, a total of four people, standing ten meters from the door of the house. The leader called out, "Hey, are you three alright?"
He had heard men screaming from this area and rushed over, but the number of voices had increased, and when he got closer, the sounds stopped abruptly, making him afraid to act rashly.
Inside the house, Naruto placed a bell-shaped megaphone facing the group, put on a gas mask and earplugs, and rubbed the clay pots against the flints attached to the sides of the mask.
He released them, then jumped up.
"Boom." Smashing through the wooden boards above, Naruto jumped into the air.
Seeing him, the four people on the ground, the leader shouted, "Who are you, Xiang Qi and them..."
"Boom!"
A loud explosion deafened them, dazed them, and woke up the entire Hidden Grass Village.
Maybe the placement was wrong. Naruto clearly saw the megaphone fly over their heads after the explosion. Other than ruffling their hair, it caused no damage.
Taking off his earplugs in the air, he landed in front of the four people, then, like a fierce tiger entering a flock of sheep, he charged into them. After roughly estimating their ages to see if they were capable of committing the crime, Naruto used the Family Planning Kick.
The team leader barely managed to block two moves, but unfortunately, his eardrums were ruptured, and his body was unbalanced. Naruto seized the opportunity to defuse his bomb.
After defusing eight eggs, Naruto charged towards the brightly lit area, carrying two explosive clay pots.
The explosion was to alert Sasuke and to remind the Hidden Grass Village to evacuate civilians. The Family Planning Kick was simply because Naruto wanted to vent the frustration he felt after seeing those two girls.
He couldn't stand having those beasts still be able to function down there.
Seeing defensive structures, he threw bombs. Naruto encountered a second group of arriving patrols. After they left a scratch on Naruto, they were also defused.
Just like that, Naruto advanced rapidly, throwing bombs and defusing as he went.
On the other side, Sasuke, hearing the sound, also began to move.
