Chapter 17 Mahiro’s Past

"Have you finished collecting the mission?"

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

"Yes, father, C-level mission, to eliminate bandits."

"A bandit? This simple mission is very suitable to be your first mission, and it also allows you to experience the cruelty of the ninja world."

"After you have eaten, get ready to leave. I will be waiting for your return at home."

"Then I hope that when I go home, you won't set off again because of the mission."

After a simple meal, Satoru left, while Sakumo sat cross-legged at the door of his house, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart as he watched Satoru's back gradually getting further away.

"Is father worried about my brother?"

At this time, Kakashi came over and asked.

"Don't worry, my brother is so powerful, there will definitely be no problem."

"Well, I hope so."

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

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Wu arrived at the village gate on time. Although he was not late, Wu was still the last one. In fact, he started from home very early, but on the way he saw a dessert shop selling new products. It attracted his footsteps, so Delay became the last one again.

"We are on a mission, not on an outing. You don't look like a ninja."

Nagayama Mahiro frowned, his tone sounded very stern.

Hearing this, Wu was a little baffled. I didn't seem to be looking for you to mess with you, but why did I treat him like a gun?

"Don't take it to heart, Satoru, Mahiro's nature is not bad."

Yano Miwa quickly came out to smooth things over.

"Okay, don't talk anymore, let's set off now."

Then, after looking at the task list with the ninja guarding the door, Nakajima led the three of them out of the door, and then immediately jumped into the woods.

If they are not performing some escort missions, ninjas generally will not walk leisurely on the road.

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

In the process of rushing, Nakajima-sensei was in the first echelon, in the leading position, Mahiro was in the second echelon, seeming to deliberately distance himself from the two of them, and Satoru and Miwa were in the third echelon, in the last position. s position.

"In the past, Mahiro was a very friendly person and a very helpful person. Everyone who knew him had a very good relationship with him."

Miwa said to Satoru, but after getting along with each other these two times, Satoru didn't find out what it was like to be friendly.

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

As soon as these words came out, Miwa's tone was a little sad, and Satoru's inner mood immediately became a little depressed.

Satoru also knows that the normal configuration of a team is one leading jounin and three genin or chuunin. If nothing happens, these people will belong to this team for their entire lives and have a deep bond.

But if newly graduated genin are assigned to an established ninja team, then there are several possibilities. The first is that a certain ninja in the team is sacrificed, and the second is that a certain ninja in the team is sacrificed. The ninja defected, but no matter what the situation was, the blow to the other members of the ninja team was huge.

"Mahiro has changed since that time. He doesn't want to get too close to anyone. He just wants to be alone."

Satoru can probably understand now that the death of his best friend made Mahiro fall into extreme sadness. In order to prevent himself from having such sad emotions in the future, he wanted to make his relationship with everyone ordinary and strange. In this way, even if the other party passes away, there will not be any touching in the heart.

But this is just a beautiful idea, and it is impossible to exist in reality. Unless you have a grudge against the other person, you will not have feelings no matter how long you get along. Otherwise, even if you don't get along deliberately, your feelings will naturally improve.

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

"Well, I understand. In the final analysis, he is just a poor man."

After knowing the cause of the matter, Satoru would no longer have any entanglements with Mahiro, otherwise he would have made up his mind to fight the other party for a thousand years.

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

"I should say that he is indeed Sakumo-sensei's child."

While rushing on the road, Nakajima had been observing Satoru. He had been speeding up his journey just now, but he didn't expect Satoru to be able to keep up.

Due to time constraints, he did not have time to examine Satoru's strength. He only heard about Satoru's strength through hearsay. First, he learned from other people that Satoru defeated the Chunin of the Uchiha clan. Second, he learned from Sakumo. He learned from his mouth that Wu was very powerful.

So he just tested Satoru's speed just now, and he didn't expect to be disappointed. Although he can continue to speed up now, in that case, Mahiro and Miwa will not be able to keep up.

Without any rest along the way, we drove for five hours and finally reached the mountain where the bandits were.

"Rest where you are, eat some food, replenish your energy, and launch an attack immediately. The mission goal is to kill these bandits without missing a beat."

When he said the last three words, a slight trace of murderous aura emerged from Teacher Nakajima's body. No matter whether he was a citizen of the Fire Country or not, as long as he did something that harmed the people of the Fire Country, he would not be punished. forgive.

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

Just be careful during the battle and you can almost avoid getting hurt.

Everyone was eating food, only Satoru was sitting aside and drinking water. When he was on the way, his mouth had not been idle, so he was not hungry at all now.

"Give."

However, others may not think so. Zhenhong directly threw a piece of steamed bun to Satoru. Since he was in front of Satoru when he was on the way, he didn't know that Satoru had eaten anything.

"Don't hold us back when the time comes."

Typically, Mahiro is a sharp-tongued person with a soft heart.

"Thanks."

Satoru also took a bite into his mouth without any ceremony.

"Wow, it's actually a red bean paste bun. It's so sweet and delicious."

Satoru let out a groan and then teleported directly in front of Mahiro.

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

Satoru has no resistance to sweets.

"What?"

Satoru's extremely fast speed just now shocked Mahiro.

"Mahiro, don't give it to him anymore, Satoru has already eaten all the way."

"Hey, Miwa, you're going too far."

Seeing the sweet red bean paste buns leaving him, Wu couldn't help but shed tears of sadness on his face.

"Damn it, you guy, spit out what you just ate from me."

Although he knew Satoru had brought sweets, he thought they were all eaten before setting off. Unexpectedly, he ate them all the way. This was really a waste of his good intentions and his food.
