CINNAMON

First Mission

week later...

Sriing..

Sinam sheathed his sword, letting out a long sigh, he looked bored.

Sinam looked at his palm filled with bumps, “ has been a week passed, but I still can not master the One Step Breath Attraction.. ” his mind then turned towards his friends who practice, and then looked at his friends who practice, “ my training should be helped with someone, that's why I can't use the time well, while they all look busy. ”

quite far away from Sinam, Ryugu sat leaning against the tree trunk, he was enjoying the air while staring at the clouds like the days that had gone by.

Sinam glanced at Ryugu, “ the boy.Will until when he is like that, will he spend time relaxing.? ” inner, “ besides with Aozora, he also never speaks, he is worse than Saken. ” he continued.

Sinam looks sad, “ talks about Saken, why he did not come too. what his sadness made him forget about his friends. ” his inner.

Braaks..

Jiromaru dropped his butt on the ground, he looked annoyed.

“ hosh.. ” Jiromaru set the breath, “ exercises, exercises, and exercises.. What is the difference between us and Academy students.?! ” said annoyed.

“ is right, even though we have officially become Young Fighters Yama, why are we not given the task.?! ” says Takeshi.

“ yes, after all we practice also not accompanied by the teacher, this feels very boring.! ” says Aozora.

Taps..

Suddenly darting one's shadow, the shadow landed in the middle, everyone was shocked.

“ so you guys are bored, huh.? ” that person is none other than Deiki.

“ teacher Deiki.?! ” everyone is surprised.

Deiki looked at all his students with a faint smile, “ well, I will give you guys a task. ”.

“ task.?! ” everything instantly excited.

“ Yosh.. This is what I've been waiting for.! ” shouted Sansiro.

“ then, let's go somewhere, a place where you'll get the assignment.! ” said Deiki then walked away from the place.

“ yes..!! ” all follow Deiki steps.

after a long walk through the central housing of Yama Village, Deiki and his students stopped in front of a building close to the leader building, the building is where people hire security services Yama Fighters.

“ what is this place.? ” ask Sinam confused.

Deiki turned to Sinam, “ we better just go in. ” he said.

Taps.. Taps..

Deiki entered the building, as did Sinam and the others.

in that place, there was an old man with glasses who was sitting relaxed, he was the guard of the building.

in front of the old man, a man in his thirties stood up, it seemed like he intended to hire security services, he was Matsuda.

“ I'm coming. ” Deiki say hello while smiling thinly.

the old man looked at Deiki, then looked at Sinam and the others, “ they look like ordinary children. ” he said.

“ shouldn't we judge people by appearance.? ” Deiki smiles thinly, “ they are my great students. ” he continued.

“ ha? they will control me.?! ” Matsuda was surprised and looked towards Sinam and the others.

the old man looked at Matsuda, “ there is no other choice, all Fighters Yama is running errands, only these children are left. ” he said flatly.

Matsuda looked towards Sinam and the others, “ I paid for these children, unbelievable. ” he said.

Deiki stared flatly at Matsuda, “ if you feel any objection, you can take back your money and return to Sanji Village by yourself. ” he said, “ Sanji people have often to Yama Village to trade weapons, and they return to Sanji with the escort of young Fighters Yama, everything is safe and fine. ” he continued.

Matsuda looked at Deiki, then pensively pensive for quite a while, as if there was something he was hiding.

Deiki looked at Matsuda, “ or maybe you are not a merchant from Sanji.? ” said seriously.

“ what do you mean? I do come from Sanji. ” Matsuda replied quickly, but he looked nervous.

“ so, yes.. ” said Deiki, then looked at Sinam and others, “ so, do you still doubt these children.? ” continued.

Matsuda looked at Sinam and the others, “ they are still children, but. Maybe they will sacrifice his life for me. ” his inner self.

Matsuda sighed, “ there is no other choice but to let them escort me. ” he said.

Deiki looked at Sinam and the others, “ alright all, I also don't have much time, so please protect uncle Matsuda. ” he said.

“ but teacher, we are only nine people, why did Saken not come.? ” Sinam asked.

“ I have come to the house of the Takeyomi Clan, and his father says he is sick. ” replied Deiki. “ besides those nine people are very many, I assign this to you as the first mission. ” continued.

Sinam surprised, “ sick? I can't believe a person as strong as Saken can get sick as well. ” he said.

“ then, I go first, my friends are waiting for me. ” said Deiki then darted quickly.

old man glanced at Deiki's departure, “ he left at will. ” his inner.

The old man looked at Matsuda, “ well, it has been decided that these nine children are driving you to the limit of Sanji Village.! ” said it hard.

“ Yosh.. let's go.!! ” screamed Sinam while raising his hand.

Taps... Taps..

the journey began, after a long walk, they had left Yama Village, now they were on the road left right there was a forest.

Matsuda who initially looked relaxed, now began to look panicked, his face was sweating coldly with eyes that glanced right and left, “ I am not sure with these children, am I safe.? ” inner, “ I'm afraid they took my money this. ” he continued while holding his bag.

Sinam looked at Matsuda who was holding his bag tightly, “ Uncle Matsuda, what is in your bag? you look very alert. ” he asked.

Matsuda turned to Sinam, “ no, not nothing. ” replied him a fake smile.

“ what did Uncle Matsuda do to Yama Village.? ” Sinam asked again.

“ I trade weapons. ” replied Matsuda.

Sinam smiled warmly, “ then, who is in your bag it is money. ” he said.

Matsuda was surprised, then glanced sharply at Sinam, “ this child. although he looks innocent, but he is smart too. ” his inner.

★★★★★

in an obscure location, in the middle of the forest that was not reachable light so dark, on the ground there was a hole large enough, like the entrance in a cave.

following the hole, deep down, it turns out there are magnificent and spacious buildings, there are many rooms that store a variety of weapons, and it is too much.

in one of the rooms that was rather dark because it only relied on candlelight, there were quite a number of people gathered.

among the group of people standing, there was a man sitting casually like a leader in a chair, he was wearing black glasses with a bald head, he is Agara the leader of this criminal organization that they call ‘ Iron Emperor.’

“ Satoru, quickly find Matsuda, my spy says he is traveling from Yama to Sanji. ” Agara told someone.

“ why should I.? ” replied a young man in front of Agara flatly, he is tall and stocky, his hair is long black, he is Satoru Taro who has red eyeballs.

Agara stared hard at Satoru, “ dogs that came a few months ago in a sad condition, now starting to show his fangs. ” he said with a smile.

Satoru stared flatly at Agara, “ really? didn't you guys bring me to this place. ” the answer is relaxed.

Agara looked at Satoru annoyed, “ Satoru, I know now you are indeed strong, but still you can not beat the other fighters here which amounted to hundreds. ” he said, “ so, stop defying.! ” continued.

Satoru stared flat at the fighters who were behind Agara, his red eyes that reflected the candlelight look scary, ” right too, it was impossible. ” he said flat.

“ Satoru, if you find Matsuda, kill him and take his money, a traitor like him should be killed.!! ” shouted one of the men, he was standing to the right of Agara, he was Ryota.

Satoru stared flatly at Ryota, “ indeed you who dare to give orders.? ” said it's cold.

Ryota looks annoyed, “ damn, show your respect to your superiors, I am the right hand of the chairman, while you are just a child who survived the massacre of the Taro Clan, you pathetic child.!! ” shears.

as soon as Satoru looked gripping, he stared intently at Ryota, “ stopped mentioning about the Taro Clan as if you knew everything.! ” said it's cold.

“ what would you do if I insulted the Taro Clan.? ” Ryota smiles lightly.

“ instead of just talking, why don't we just fight.? ” said Satoru with a wicked smile, he held the handle of both swords attached to his back.

Degs..

Ryota flinched, he looked frightened along with cold sweat dripping from his forehead, then followed by the sound of throat gulping.

Agara looked at Satoru, “ is enough, no one will allow you to fight, fellow members of the Iron Emperor are forbidden to fight. ” he said flatly, “ and you Satoru, now go find Matsuda, you will find Matsuda, but this time you're not alone. ” he continued.

“ not alone? what do you mean.? ” Satoru slightly react.

“ you will be accompanied by someone, he is a new member of the Iron Emperor. because as old as possible you can be familiar. ” said Agara.

Agara turned his head in a direction, “ come here.! ” command.

Taps.. Taps..

the sound of footsteps from the darkness, slowly visible legs to the body, and finally the face of a young man, he was none other than Akaza Takeyomi, Saken's brother.

“ she is from Yama, her name is Akaza Takeyomi. ” said Agara.

Satoru Taro looked at Akaza Takeyomi, “ I don't care about others, so don't expect me to protect you when pressed. ” he said flatly.

Akaza smiled thinly, “ and vice versa. ” he said.

“ now go.! ” Agara reigns.

Taps..

in the next second, Satoru and Akaza had already disappeared from their places, both moving quickly.

Agara stared at the departure of Satoru, “ fucking Satoru, he is really fast growing, a few months ago he was just a loser who can't do anything, now, Taro clan is special, then the sword ability is serious. ” inner.

Taps..

Satoru and Akaza had walked out of the entrance hole into the underground building earlier, both of them standing under the lush trees with their eyes looking forward with their respective minds.

Akaza looks to think, “ when he just joined, but I have got a troublesome task, it could be Fighter Yama is escorting the person named Matsuda. ” his inner while smiling.

beside Akaza, Satoru was staring ahead with a flat face, his long hair being blown away by the wind making him look even more handsome, he was really very calm.

slightly reminiscent, Satoru Taro was the older brother of Satoji Taro, but the two separated from each other during the Taro Clan massacre perpetrated by the Red Bats.
