Promised?

Author:

Before starting reading, I would also like to invite you to familiarize yourself with my author's work "The Path of Omniscience", where the main character is not a person, he is cold and insensitive to everything.

You can also support me on my PATRE0N where I publish chapters in advance. Just follow the link https://www.patrеon.com/lonhet or enter my nickname.

- Well, since you promised, I'll tell you. There are two traitors among the locals. One is Yashikame Amere who lives on the edge of the village, the other is Umaido Marumi who lives a few houses away.

- How many members of the bandit group are in the village now?

- Three including me.

- The size of your gang?

After thinking for a few seconds, the bandit replied.

- About 70, I don't know for sure, most of the time I am in the village, but for sure no more than 100 people.

The questioner Satoshi frowned and thought deeply about the next question. At the same time, Samato, who was sitting next to him and smiling, suddenly asked.

- How many ninjas are in your gang and what are their strengths?

Surprised by the question, the bandit froze for a moment, thinking a little about the answer, he said.

- There are five ninjas in our gang. I do not know which of them is stronger, but the most important is Ramero-dano, he is the strongest. At least I could see that the other ninjas were obeying him.

- Describe his appearance and equipment.

- Um, his body is quite trained, his face is quite ordinary, with black, short, crew-cut hair. Oh, right, he has a big scar on his neck. He also has a katana hanging from his hip and a large shuriken on his back. I don't remember anything else significant.

Nodding his head, Samato reached into the bag on his belt and took out a folded paper from it. Starting to unfold it, it became clear that it was a map. Having unfolded it and laid it on the floor in front of the bandit, he asked.

- Where is the camp of your gang?

Uncertainly examining the map, the bandit muttered.

- I'm not sure exactly, but it's not far from that river in the clearing next to the forest. It seems to be there, I don't know, I didn't see the place on the map. I remember that there is a clearing, and there is a river and a forest nearby

- Okay, I think that's it. Do you have any more questions Satoshi?

- No, you can start treating him.

Hearing about the treatment, the bandit's eyes sparkled. Meanwhile, Samato feigned surprise and asked incomprehensibly.

- What are you talking about?

Now Satoshi looked at his friend in surprise.

- Well, we promised to cure him.

- I didn't promise to treat him, you promised.

- Eh?

- Are you going to treat him, or should I kill him?

- But I can't.

- Then kill.

Having said that, Samato took out a kunai from his bag and went to the dumbfounded and frightened bandit.

- Wait, I've told you everything, don't kill me, I'm please you.

Seeing that the boy did not respond to his pleas, the bandit began to try to move at least one part of his body to escape. Unfortunately, this failed, and seeing the approach of death, despair slowly began to take hold of him.

Samato approached, crouched down near the bandit's head and put a kunai to his throat. Immediately, his sensitivity to Byakugan's gaze reacted to the six stares focused on him.

- W-wait, p-please, I beg, I want to live.

The bandit, meanwhile, honoring the cold steel on his throat, began to cry. Without paying attention, Samato suddenly thrust the blade into the neck.

- Kh... hc

A desperate cry was replaced by a grunt. Moving aside, Samato abruptly pulled out the maple and stood up and quickly walked away. Immediately, a copious amount of blood escaped from the hole in the neck, which began to stain everything around.

Meanwhile, Samato, looking at the bloody blade, pretended to be deep in thought. After standing for a dozen seconds, he sighed and took the first rag he came across, gently wiped the kunai. The bandit had already stopped showing signs of life by that time.

- Very good. All of you doing great, especially you little Samato. To come to myself so quickly after the first murder.

Everyone in the room, hearing the voice that suddenly appeared, was surprised. A second later, Satoshi jumped up from his chair and got into a fighting position, preparing for a possible attack.

Samato, smiling faintly, looked in the direction of the voice and seeing Hiko standing there, said.

- Thank you for the praise.

Seeing who it was, Satoshi came out of the fighting position and looked strangely at the calm teammate, kept silent, thinking about something. At this time, Hiko examined the children more closely and turned to Samato and asked.

- How did you recover so quickly after the first murder.

- There's nothing wrong with that, I helped my father many times during his operations. Several times these operations ended in death, so I'm already a little used to it.

It was as if the man had an epiphany, and he became more relaxed. With a sigh of relief, he said in a calmer voice.

- It's a relief. – After looking at the other two, he said. – You should be ready, probably today you will commit your first murder.

- Don't worry, I'm always ready to kill these nasty bandits!

A confident and ready exclamation sounded. After taking a look, Hiko sighed to himself.

- Okay, I'm off, continue the mission, but be careful.

Having finished and folded the seal, he disappeared at an incredible speed. Silence descended on the room. After looking at each other, Samato was the first to speak.

- Let's not waste too much time on this village and split up. I'll deal with the villagers, and you go and kill the bandits. Do you agree?

Satoshi, looking at Kuzu, said a little displeased.

- I agree, but are you sure it will be more effective?

- Yes, it won't take me long to kill the untrained hillbillies. As for the bandits, they are ordinary people with weapons, and you have to cope. – Stopping, Samato looked at Kuzu with interest and asked. – You can handle an ordinary person, right?

Glaring back, he shouted.

- I can handle it, don't you dare underestimate me! – having calmed down a little, Kuzu continued uncertainly. - But are you sure it's worth killing the villagers? They could have been forced.

- I don't care.

- You…

- All right, let's go!

Having finished, Samato folded several seals and using shunshin disappeared, leaving two surprised Hyugas in the house. Moving quickly from house to house, it didn't take him even a few seconds to get close to the first house, with the traitor who was nearby.

Quickly and imperceptibly entering the house, Samato, with the activated byakugan, went into the master bedroom. It was rather small and poorly furnished. It had only a wardrobe and a double bed on which two people slept.

Quickly approaching the man and taking out a kunai, Samato with an uncertain face carefully cut his throat. To himself, he muttered a little irritably.

"Eh, this surveillance is really quite problematic"

All this time, he felt two byakugan's eyes on him, following his actions. And he had to pretend to be a picture of a boy who was unsure of the correctness of his actions.

- Okay, it's time for the second one.
