Chapter 53 The First Murder

It's just that the two ghost brothers obviously don't know much. The only valuable thing is that they confirm that the employer is indeed Kado, and Kado seems to have hired other ninjas, and they are still more powerful than the two of them. Strong presence.

Apart from this, there was no other useful information from the ghost brothers. This was somewhat lower than Kakashi's previous expectations, and it also made Kakashi mentally further improve his judgment on the difficulty of the next task. .

"It seems that we really only know so much. Okay, you two can start, but don't force it. This kind of thing requires getting used to slowly."

After Kakashi finally determined that the ghost brothers were indeed of no value, he turned to look at Menma and Sasuke who were waiting behind him and said this.

Menma and Sasuke seemed calm.

But when Kakashi said these words, his body couldn't help but tremble subconsciously. Even in such a cruel and dark world, the first time you kill someone, you need to overcome the psychological pressure after all. burden.

If he could kill someone for the first time without changing his expression and without any disturbance in his heart, such a person would not be an extremely terrifying existence on a psychological level!

Although Menma and Sasuke are strong-willed people.

But this is still the first time after all.

Even if Menma has been a human being for two lifetimes.

In his previous life, he was an ordinary student who had never even killed a chicken!

He was going to kill someone right away. If he wasn't timid, he would be a humanoid monster.

But Menma knew better that he had to go through this once.

And this opportunity in front of us is the most suitable.

The previous two battles were all because Menma's current strength was far beyond that of an ordinary chuunin. Whether it was Mizuki or the ghost brothers, it was impossible to really put any pressure on Menma. Menma could easily suppress it. .

But once they are evenly matched, they may even be enemies who are stronger than themselves.

In a life and death struggle.

If there is even the slightest hint of timidity, or even if you dare not use your full strength because you are afraid of killing, you will definitely lose, and it will become a joke.

‘This is the path I want to choose! ’

Menma took a deep breath.

He turned over his hand and took out a kunai, strode forward, and got close to the fog ninja on the left.

Menma's raised right hand was faintly trembling.

But Menma didn't have any hesitation at this moment, and a strong murderous aura flashed between his eyebrows.

He stabbed the mist ninja fiercely in the chest.

"Puff!" A sound came out.

That kunai easily penetrated the chest of the mist ninja, and the blade sank in.

The dull sound of falling.

Along with the blood splashing everywhere.

The Mist Ninja, who still had a dull look on his face, showed a look of pain due to his body's instinct, and after his body twitched slightly, the life force quickly passed away. In less than a few seconds, This fog ninja tilted his head and died directly from Menma's kunai without realizing it.

Menma took the life of this Kiri nin.

Sasuke on the side also hit his throat with a blow, which also killed the other ghost brother on the spot.

Some of the blood on their bodies.

Looking into each other's eyes subconsciously.

It seems to have an extra layer of special meaning.

Kakashi in the back also nodded secretly when he saw Menma and Sasuke each completing their first killing mission.

As an official ninja, you have to do this once after all.

The current Konoha is very different from the past. As far as Kakashi knows, the mentality of the genin trained in recent years is worse than the last, and their overall level is far inferior to Kakashi and the others. Compared to my own time.

There are many examples of people who just graduated not long ago, but due to various problems, either died easily in battle, or their mentality collapsed, and they were unable to continue being a ninja after they came back.

to be honest.

At first, Kakashi also had this concern about Team 7, which he led.

After all, Konoha has been at peace for too long.

It's been so long that the newly growing generation has almost no sense of danger, but now it seems that at least Menma and Sasuke don't need to worry about anything in this aspect, even if they were a little hesitant and timid at first.

But this is also human nature. If it were really easy to kill someone for the first time without any trouble.

Instead, Kakashi had to worry about the mental state of the two of them.

"Well, good, let's go back."

Kakashi said softly.

"yes!"

Menma and Sasuke also nodded slightly and responded simultaneously.

Before the group of three walked away.

Kakashi also formed a hand seal.

"Fire escape."

Release a lowest level fire escape technique, control the corpses of the two ghost brothers, burn them, turn them into ashes, and blow away with the wind.

Went very quickly.

Came back very quickly.

Kakashi used genjutsu to torture the two of them for only a few minutes.

Menma and Sasuke didn't hesitate at all, and naturally they didn't waste much time. Sakura and Naruto who stayed above saw the two people returning.

Especially after getting closer.

When he could faintly smell the bloody smell on Menma and Sasuke.

The expressions of the two people also became a little unnatural.

It seemed that nothing had changed, but at this moment, Sakura and Naruto had a feeling that Menma and Sasuke were completely different from before.

Tatsuna also looked at Menma and Sasuke with a special look.

I have indeed learned a lot about it before.

But after this close contact, Dazna truly understood what a ninja is!

‘This is only 12 years old. . . ’
