I Haven't Killed Anyone (Polite Request)

Just as they left Yamagō Village and were heading up the mountain, Veigar turned to look at Kakashi Hatake beside him and asked, "Kakashi, have you ever killed anyone?"

His footsteps didn't stop. Kakashi Hatake glanced at Veigar before calmly replying, "I have."

Hearing Kakashi Hatake's calm tone, Veigar's heart trembled, then instantly returned to normal. He pretended to be calm and said, "I haven't!"

Kakashi Hatake looked at Veigar with doubt, turning his head and softly asking, "Hmm?"

Immediately after, Kakashi Hatake heard Veigar say, "Kakashi, do you know?"

"I've killed fish, I've killed pigs, and I killed a wolf the other day, but I've never killed a person."

Killing people is against the law!

This legal concept, deeply ingrained in Veigar's soul from his previous life, still influenced him now.

However, the moment Veigar stepped into the Ninja Academy, he had already considered that he would kill people in this world, and after killing the first, there would be a second, a third... or perhaps countless others.

Yet, as he was truly facing the situation of killing someone, Veigar found that all his mental preparations over the years were completely useless.

He was still nervous, as he should be!

"If you're scared, I can handle it alone later."

Kakashi Hatake didn't offer comfort because he hadn't experienced anything like Veigar's current situation. So, he simply stated the facts.

Taking a deep breath, Veigar asked Kakashi Hatake again, "Kakashi, bandits deserve to die, right!"

Although Veigar used a question, he spoke with a tone of certainty.

Kakashi Hatake softly replied, "Mm!"

Then, Kakashi Hatake heard Veigar say, "So, Kakashi!"

"Let me try one more time. If you see me getting scared, help me then:"

Kakashi Hatake pondered for a moment in his heart, then nodded heavily and said, "Okay!"

Soon, the two arrived at the mountain.

Originally, Veigar and Kakashi Hatake thought they would have to search for a while to find their Target, but they found them so easily.

Looking at the crowd gathered ahead, Veigar and Kakashi Hatake simultaneously revealed themselves, maintaining a certain distance. Then Veigar spoke, "You are Kawamura Daiji's subordinates, right?"

"I am Veigar, a Konoha Ninja. May I ask you to leave here and not appear again?"

Kawamura Daiji, in the crowd, trembled inwardly upon hearing the words "Konoha Ninja." But when he turned around and saw the boyish Veigar and Kakashi Hatake, his surprise turned to anger, and he roared.

"Konoha Ninja? Are there Konoha ninjas as young as you?"

"Your ninja headbands must be stolen, or bought with stolen goods."

"Ninjas aren't something brats like you can impersonate."

If age is a woman's secret and a man's wound, then for a child, it's being suspected by those who don't know the truth.

The subordinates behind Kawamura Daiji, originally fearful of the Konoha Ninja because of Kawamura Daiji's own fear, were also filled with dread.

However, when they heard Kawamura Daiji say that Veigar and Kakashi Hatake were just fakes, they became enraged.

After all, they were all bandits.

"Boss, let me go and slaughter them!"

"It's been a while since I killed anyone."

A young man holding a large cleaver, standing beside Kawamura Daiji, glared ferociously at Veigar and Kakashi Hatake and requested of Kawamura Daiji.

"Then it's up to you, Yuya."

"Don't let them die too quickly."

Kawamura Daiji said, looking at Veigar and Kakashi Hatake.

Although Kawamura Daiji completely denied Veigar and Kakashi Hatake's identities as Konoha Ninja, he, with some experience, knew that there were indeed children among Konoha Ninja, he just hadn't seen any as young as Veigar and Kakashi Hatake.

His words earlier were basically for his subordinates to hear. Now that someone wanted to make a move, Kawamura Daiji was happy to go along with it, letting his subordinate personally test whether Veigar and Kakashi Hatake were real ninjas.

As soon as Kawamura Daiji finished speaking, his other subordinates began to mock Veigar and Kakashi Hatake.

"Yuya, the boss is right, don't kill them too quickly, torture them properly."

"Exactly, daring to impersonate ninjas and scare us."

"Go on, Yuya. Let them know that playing ninja games comes with a price."

Amidst the shouts of the many bandits, Yuya stepped out from beside Kawamura Daiji, staring intently at Veigar and Kakashi Hatake, and shouted, "Run, run away!"

"Only then can you please me!"

With that, Yuya charged towards Veigar and Kakashi Hatake.

Kawamura Daiji, watching from behind, saw Veigar and Kakashi Hatake's calm and unfazed expressions, his sense of unease intensified. He took half a step back, already preparing to escape.

If Veigar and Kakashi Hatake were real ninjas, he would flee.

As far as Kawamura Daiji was concerned, it didn't matter if others lived or died, as long as he could survive. Being an ordinary person, Kawamura Daiji was self-aware enough to know he was no match for a ninja.

If Veigar and Kakashi Hatake were truly impostors as he claimed, or if Yuya would capture him, he would have immediately rushed forward, displaying the cruelty of a Bandit Leader.

Looking at Yuya charging towards him, his flawed sword-swinging method was not worth mentioning in Veigar's Eyes. He had countless ways to kill Yuya in one blow.

"As expected, bandits cannot be persuaded to surrender. Only strength can make them feel fear."

At that moment, Veigar made up his mind.

"Die!"

Approaching Veigar, Yuya swung the cleaver in his hand towards Veigar's shoulder.

"Too slow."

Yuya's attack speed was simply too slow in Veigar's Eyes. With a slight sidestep, Veigar dodged it. At the same time, Veigar's Eyes focused on Yuya's chest.

"Evil Force Spiraling Sphere."

Veigar silently chanted in his heart, condensing the Evil Force Spiraling Sphere on his palm, and then pressed it against Yuya's chest.

Pain instantly engulfed Yuya's entire body, making his eyes split open with rage. In an instant, Yuya, Kawamura Daiji's subordinate, his consciousness plunged into boundless darkness.
