17 Chapter 17: Masahiro's Past

"Have you received the task?"

When he returned home, Satoru found that Sakumo had been sitting at the door for a long time, as if he had been waiting for him here for a long time.

"Yes, father, C-level task, clear out the bandits."

"Bandits? This simple task is very suitable to be your first task, and it can also let you experience the cruelty of the world of Genin."

"After eating, you can prepare to set off, I will wait for you at home."

"I hope when I come home, you won't have to leave because of a task."

After a simple meal, Satoru left, and Sakumo sat cross-legged at the door of the house, watching Satoru's gradually distant figure, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.

"Is father worried about brother?"

At this moment, Kakashi came over and asked.

"Don't worry, with brother's strong strength, there will definitely be no problem."

"Um, I hope so."

After all, some accidents often happen in tasks, and some tasks may be upgraded from C-level to A-level or even S-level.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Satoru had already arrived at the village gate on time. Although he was not late, Satoru was still the last one. In fact, he set off from home very early, but he saw a dessert shop on the road that had new products, which immediately attracted his steps, so after some delay, he became the last one again.

"We are here to carry out tasks, not to go out for a picnic. How can you look like a ninja like this?"

Nagayama Masahiro frowned, and his tone seemed very severe.

This made Satoru a little baffled, it seems that I didn't provoke you, why is he like eating gunpowder?

"Don't take it to heart, Satoru, Masahiro is not bad in nature."

Yano Miwa quickly came out to round the field.

"Alright, let's not talk anymore, let's set off now."

Then, after taking a look at the task list with the gatekeeper ninja, Nakajima took the three of them out of the gate and immediately jumped into the woods.

If it is not for some escort tasks, ninjas generally do not walk leisurely on the road.

"Actually, Masahiro's character was not like this before."

During the journey, Nakajima-sensei was in the first echelon, leading the way, Masahiro was in the second echelon, seemingly deliberately distancing himself from the two of them, Satoru and Miwa were in the third echelon, in the last position.

"Masahiro used to be a very friendly person, and he was very willing to help others. Everyone who knew him had a very good relationship with him."

Miwa said to Satoru, but through these two interactions, Satoru completely did not find out where the friendliness was.

"But until one mission, we lost a teammate."

As soon as these words came out, Miwa's tone was somewhat sad, and Satoru's mood also became a bit low.

Satoru also knew that a normal team configuration is a leading Jonin, and three Genin or Chunin. If nothing unexpected happens, these people will belong to this team for a lifetime, with deep bonds.

But if a newly graduated Genin is arranged into an old ninja team, then there are several possibilities. The first is that a ninja in the team is sacrificed, and the second is that a ninja in the team has defected. But no matter what the situation is, for the other members of the ninja team, the impact is huge.

"Masahiro started to change from that time, he didn't want to get too close to anyone, he just wanted to be alone."

Satoru probably understands now, the death of a close friend plunged Masahiro into extreme sadness, and in order not to have such sad emotions in the future, he wanted to make his relationship with anyone ordinary and unfamiliar, so even if the other party died, there would be no touch in his heart.

But this is just a beautiful idea, it is impossible to exist in reality, unless you have a grudge against the other party, no matter how long you get along, there will be no feelings, otherwise, even if it is not deliberate, feelings will naturally improve.

"So, I hope you don't blame Masahiro."

"Um, I understand, after all, he is just a poor person."

Knowing the cause of the matter, Satoru will not entangle with Masahiro anymore, otherwise he had made up his mind at the beginning, he must come to a Thousand Years Kill with him.

Miwa's words can be said to have saved Masahiro's life.

"It should be said that you are indeed worthy of being Sakumo-sensei's child."

During the journey, Nakajima has been observing Satoru, he has been speeding up his journey, unexpectedly Satoru has been able to keep up.

Due to the urgency of time, he simply didn't have the time to assess Satoru's strength. His understanding of Satoru's strength was merely hearsay. One, he learned from others that Satoru had defeated a Chunin from the Uchiha clan. Two, he learned from Sakumo that Satoru was very strong.

So just now, he was only testing Satoru's speed, and to his surprise, Satoru did not disappoint him. Although he could continue to speed up now, if he did so, Masahiro and Miwa wouldn't be able to keep up.

Without any rest in the middle, they rushed for five hours and finally arrived at the mountain where the bandits were located.

"Rest in place, eat some food, replenish some energy, and launch an attack directly later. The mission target is to kill all these bandits."

When he said the last words, a faint killing intent emerged from Nakajima-sensei. No matter whether they were citizens of the Land of Fire before, as long as they had done something to harm the people of the Land of Fire, they must not be forgiven.

For some bandits who are just ordinary people, they don't need to make any meticulous plans at all. After all, there is a big gap between ninjas and ordinary people.

Almost in the process of fighting, be careful, you can almost do it without injury.

Everyone was eating food, only Satoru was sitting on the side drinking water dryly. Just now when he was on the road, his mouth had never been idle, so he was not hungry at all now.

"Here."

But other people might not think so. Masahiro directly threw a bun to Satoru. Because he was in front of Satoru when he was on the road just now, he didn't know that Satoru had eaten something.

"Don't drag us down by then."

Typically, Masahiro is a tough guy with a soft heart.

"Thanks."

Satoru also ate it into his mouth without being polite.

"Wow, it's a red bean bun, so sweet, so delicious."

Satoru let out a moan, and then teleported directly in front of Masahiro.

"Is there any more, I still want to eat."

Satoru has no resistance to sweets.

"What?"

Satoru's extremely fast speed just now scared Masahiro.

"Masahiro, don't give him any more, Satoru has been eating all the way just now."

"Hey, Miwa, you're too much."

Seeing the sweet red bean bun leaving him, Satoru couldn't help but show tears of sadness on his face.

"Damn it, you guy, vomit out what you ate just now."

Although he knew that Satoru had brought sweets, he thought that they had been eaten before departure. He didn't expect that he had eaten all the way, which was really a waste of his kindness and his food.
