Chapter 56: The Death of Nakatani Terumui
"What's the matter, even Sugi-sama thinks so highly of you, it's really a jealous guy!"
Nara Shinji looked at Sato Shin with monster-like eyes.
Sato Shin didn't know what kind of person Kamishinobi Pond Uesugi was, but he did.
This shinobi is notoriously cold in the camp, never smiling, and many ninjas who want to get close to him have touched their noses, but they don't want to, the other party will actually come over in person and encourage Sato Shin, which is simply the first time in the world.
If these camps were to be seen, maybe their eyes would bulge, but was this still the Ikeuesugi they knew?! Are you sure it's not the enemy fake?!
That's how the expression of the grain transport team is at this moment.
Although there is a distance from Sato Shin and them, with his upper ninja's ear, how can he not hear what Ikeuesugi said, it is precisely because he heard it, so he will look incredulous, this guy who has always had a cold face will actually encourage people?!
As a shinobi in the village, he naturally knows Ikegami Shan's character, and even because of the fact that he has more contact with the task, he has a good relationship with Ikegami Shan, and it is the first time in his memory to say words of encouragement from the other party's mouth.
"Shan, I didn't expect you to say something like this?"
Looking at Ikegami Shan, who had already walked over, the grain transport team Shangren said in disbelief.
Hearing the words of the grain transport team, Ikegami Shan's footsteps paused slightly, and his expression was slightly complicated, and then he returned to his usual coldness and said.
"It's just a little touching."
After speaking, he walked directly past the grain transport team Shangnin.
"You, hey......"
The grain transport team looked at Ikeuesugi's back and wanted to say something, but in the end he held back.
He had heard some things about Ikegami, and knew that Ikegami had become what he was because of the death of his childhood friend.
It is said that Ikeuesugi's childhood friend, who was gifted, died on the battlefield, and since then, Ikeuesugi has become what he is now, cold to others and even colder to himself.
"Is the same talent outstanding? I hope you don't die on the battlefield in the same way, otherwise Ikeuesugi will be even colder, and as a companion for many years, I really don't want to see him ...... like this"
The grain transport team looked back at Sato Shin, and sighed slightly in his heart.
After disposing of the bodies of their companions and the Fog Ninja on the spot, the food convoy and reinforcements began to set off towards the border camp.
This time there was no attack, and they arrived at the Konoha border camp unimpeded.
However, due to the slow speed of the carriage, by the time they reached the border camp, it was already the second noon.
As soon as he returned to the camp, Sato found that the atmosphere in the camp was a little wrong, and the most obvious change was that there were many more wounded people wrapped in bandages, as if they had suddenly appeared in a day, and they were not there when they left yesterday.
Seeing these wounded, Yamashin Miyun frowned, and Nara Shinji also looked incredulous.
There are so many wounded, then the number of casualties will probably not be less!
All those who can think of this problem have a heavy heart, originally thought that only the grain delivery team was attacked, but now it seems that there is obviously more than that.
"The mission is over, disbanded on the spot."
Seeing the changes in the camp, Kamininike Uesugi's cold face twitched slightly, and then after giving a cold command to everyone, he strode towards the office building in the center of the camp, not knowing whether to submit the task or to inquire about the situation of the camp.
"What the hell is going on, how can there be so many wounded all of a sudden?"
"Could it be that not only the grain convoys, but also other places have been attacked? Or maybe Kirigakure is at war with Konoha head-on? ”
"How is it possible, a war or something, this is too sudden, isn't it?"
The upper ninja left, and the middle ninja and the lower ninja who stayed behind looked at each other, and their faces were all solemn.
"Captain, what are we going to do?"
Sato's eyes looked at the mountains and clouds.
Zhongyun frowned slightly, and said after a little consideration.
"You go back to your respective dormitories first, I'll inquire about the situation, and meet in the cafeteria in the afternoon."
"Yes."
Sato Shin, Nara Shinji, and Akido Bing Gendo all nodded.
Most of the ninjas of the Yamanaka family are good at spiritual secret arts, and compared to the ninjas who work in the intelligence room, it is undoubtedly the best choice for Yamanaka Mikumo to find out the situation.
Returning to the dormitory, where he had been parting for a day, Sato Shin pushed open the door and walked in, only to see someone who surprised him very much.
"Yongxin senior?"
Sato Shin looked at his former teammate Uchiyama Einobu, and a trace of surprise flashed on his face.
Except for the time when he sent a message to Shinobu Ibika, Uchiyama Eishin had never been here once, and suddenly saw the other party appear in his dormitory, Sato Shin's heart flashed a trace of strangeness at the same time, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
"This senior is looking for you."
Seeing Sato's new return, Kakashi just said coldly, and then there was no more.
Seeing Kakashi like this, Sato Shin was powerless to complain in his heart, he had already adapted.
"I'm sorry, senior, I just came back from a mission, and senior has been waiting for a long time?"
Coming to sit down next to Uchiyama Einobu, Sato Shin asked.
"No, just arrived."
Uchiyama Yongxin is still dressed like before, wearing tactical gloves on his hands, carrying a short knife behind his back, and his eyes are indifferent, as if he is a pool of stagnant water without waves in an ancient well.
As far as the cold is concerned, I'm afraid it's even worse than Kakashi's current one.
Kakashi is the cold arrogance of a young talent, but he is the kind of coldness that seems to seal his heart, I really don't know what he has experienced, and he is forced to form such a cold character.
"What's wrong, Senpai?"
Knowing Uchiyama Einobu's character and knowing that the other party must have something to do here, Sato Shin asked directly.
"Katsumizu Nakatani...... Dead ......"
Uchiyama Yongxin frowned deeply, as if he was not used to his current mood, and said after a little hesitation.
"How...... Yes? ”
Hearing this, Sato Shin said with a look of surprise on his face.
Although I really don't like Nakatani Huishui very much, I don't expect the other party to die.
The contradiction between him and Nakatani Huishui is, in the final analysis, just a small dispute with a young and vigorous youth, and he will not curse the other party to death because of this.
So when he suddenly heard the news of the other party's death, Sato Shin's mind was almost blank, this is too sudden, right?
"How did you die?"
After a long time, Sato Shin's face improved slightly, and he asked in a deep voice.
"During the mission, they were ambushed by Wuyin, and the entire team was killed."
The voice of Eishin in his heart was still cold, but Sato Shin could detect a trace of abnormality in his voice.
If Sato Shin and Nakatani Terumi don't get along for a long time and have a bad relationship, then the inner eternal faith is the opposite.
He and Nakatani Terumi have been Ibika's disciples for several years, and they are even classmates who graduated from ninja school together, although he keeps his distance from anyone because of his personality, but the long-term relationship with Nakatani Terumi has allowed him to establish a deep friendship.
"Does Ibi-sensei know?"
Sato asked in a deep voice.
"I know, what Mr. Ibi means is that tomorrow morning, let's go and mourn him together."
Uchiyama nodded.
"Yes, I'll go."
Sato Shin nodded, feeling depressed for a while.
Nakatani Huishui can be regarded as the first acquaintance who died by his side, although the relationship is not very good, but when you suddenly find that you will never see this person again, you still can't help but feel a little lonely.
"Strength, strength!"
Sending Uchiyama Eishin away, Sato Shin looked out the window and muttered the word over and over again in his heart.
Nakatani Huishui's death once again sounded the alarm bell for him, it turned out that death is not such a distant thing, there is no strength, one day, he will also be like Nakatani Huishui, die in a head-on battle with the fog hidden ninja, or die from the sneak attack of the fog hide.
“……”
Kakashi silently looked at Shin Sato, who was standing in front of the window and looked at Shin Sato in the distance, although he wanted to say almost comforting words, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything, he was really not good at this kind of thing.
