Chapter 22 Killing! (page 12)
"Ahhh, why do we have to carry out such trivial tasks? It's so boring!"
After helping the Daiming lady catch the lost cat for the 10th time, Obito finally couldn't stand it anymore and started going crazy.
The cat in Obito's arms was also frightened and scratched his face with a paw.
"Because we are newly graduated genin and can only perform this lowest D-level mission."
Seeing this, Lin came over and skillfully used healing techniques to help Obito heal his wounds.
"So, Obito, just be patient."
"I am the man who wants to become Hokage. If I can only do this kind of task, how long will it take for me to be recognized by the whole village!"
Obito whined unwillingly.
Kakashi glanced over: "Just wait, I have a feeling that these days will end soon."
"Really?" Obito became excited when he heard this, "That's great. We've had enough of this boring life!"
Lin also looked over curiously. She didn't mind these low-level tasks, as long as they could be together every day.
Of course, it would be worth looking forward to if we could do more advanced tasks earlier.
Just then, Teacher Minato, who had left midway, rushed back.
"You really guessed it right. Considering your overall strength, I just went to help you get a C-level mission."
"yeah!"
Obito jumped up excitedly, and Lin also smiled happily.
Only Kakashi frowned slightly.
Sure enough, the war is coming, are the days of stability and peace coming to an end?
Minato smiled meaningfully after taking in the three people's reactions.
"We will gather at the entrance of the village early tomorrow morning. This mission will take about two days to go back and forth. Remember to bring individual soldier rations. Then, disband!"
"Yes!"
......
The next day, on the wild road.
The four ninjas were lowering their upper bodies, leaning forward, raising their hands back like bird wings, and running at high speed on the road.
It was the Minato team who were out on a mission.
The leader, Minato, suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Take a short break and regain your strength. We will continue moving forward in ten minutes."
"Yes~"
Obito breathed heavily and replied weakly.
Three hours of traveling at high speed had left him exhausted.
In order not to fall behind, and because of Uchiha's characteristic super self-esteem, Obito gritted his teeth and persisted.
What made him speechless was that unlike him, who was already suppressing his blush, Kakashi's face remained normal, and Lin only breathed slightly.
Minato also looked at Kakashi and Lin with slight surprise.
Did they receive similar training from Tsunade-sama?
Kakashi noticed their confusion and did not explain out loud.
Back then, under the guise that medical ninjas had to evacuate seriously injured people on the battlefield, Sister Tsunade asked him and Lin to carry a stretcher carrying a load of 60 kilograms on long-distance cross-country trips every day!
In comparison, what is the difference between traveling light and going on vacation now?
They ran like this until sunset, when Minato suddenly raised his right hand and stopped.
"We'll reach the target location one kilometer further," Minato turned back and looked at the three of them seriously, "There is a bandit den there, and the mission of the three of you is to kill them all."
"what?"
Lin couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaimed.
"Mizu...Minato-sensei, do you really want to kill people? We just need to subdue them and hand them over to the local guards, right?"
Obito's voice was also filled with hesitation.
For three eight or nine-year-old boys, murder is really a foreign word.
"No, according to the mission records, this group of bandits has looted nearby villages many times, burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil!"
"That's why the nearby villages pooled their money to issue this bounty mission to the village. The requirement is to kill them all and leave no one behind!"
Minato's serious words broke the boy's last vestige of fantasy.
However, when he learned about the crimes committed by the other party, Obito was filled with rage and wanted to eliminate them all immediately!
"In this mission, you have to detect the enemy's situation and take action yourself. Because I will only watch and won't take action."
So this mission is for us to see blood.
Kakashi knew clearly that he had understood Minato-sensei's plan.
Just like the special forces training in the previous life, the rookies were sent to the execution ground to execute the executions themselves.
For newcomers who have never had blood on their hands, no matter how strong they are, once they go to the battlefield, they may suffer from mental problems!
After thinking about this, Kakashi no longer hesitated.
"Obito, Lin, you stay where you are to recover your strength first, and I'll go explore the enemy's situation."
After saying that, he jumped in the forest and disappeared out of sight.
"What's going to happen to him, Kakashi?"
Lin couldn't help but start to worry.
"Don't worry, with that guy's strength, it's just a group of bandits, they can't hurt him at all."
Obito didn't seem to care, but the worry in his eyes betrayed his mood.
When the two of them weren't paying attention, Minato, who had quietly left his clone behind, had disappeared.
Half an hour later, Kakashi returned from reconnaissance.
"I checked the whole village and found that there are about 60 people in the entire village. There are four single-person sentry towers in each corner of the village, and there are more than 10 people in the other secret sentries."
Kakashi focused his fingers on the wind and drew a simple layout of the stockade on the ground.
"The other party is an ordinary bandit. As long as we are careful, they basically do not pose a threat to us."
"In order to prevent someone from escaping in the chaos, we'd better wait until dark and make a sneak attack at night."
Obito and Lin nodded. The sun had already set at this time, leaving only the radiance, and it would soon be completely dark.
The three of them briefly exchanged countermeasures and then stopped talking. They each took their soldiers' food pills and waited quietly.
An hour later, Kakashi looked at the sky, stood up and said, "Okay, let's go."
Obito and Lin followed closely behind, and the three of them used their body skills to advance like fleas on the branches.
"arrive."
Kakashi raised his hand and the three of them stopped.
Obito and Lin looked ahead and saw a noisy cottage appearing in front of them against the backdrop of the bonfire. They could faintly hear the sound of people rolling dice and cards and shouting.
"I'll take out the four open sentinels on the top of the tower first, and you can take out the hidden sentries around them at the right time."
Kakashi saw Obito and Rin nodding and quickly sneaked in.
He is very fast and specializes in picking out the opponent's blind spots, which the lazy sentries didn't notice at all.
The sharp blade passed across his neck, and the sentry, whose mouth and nose was covered and forced into silence, struggled unwillingly and soon became silent.
Is this what killing feels like?
Feeling the warm liquid in his right hand, Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief, leaving the clone to pretend to be the dead, and then attacked towards the next tower sentry.
Five minutes later, all four tower sentries were killed, but no one discovered them!
