The Legend of Hinata of Konoha

Chapter 204 Greed
"Ok?"

Hearing the boy's question, the man froze for a moment, not even knowing that the cigarette he was holding had dropped.

"this is not OK!"

"I can't tell you this question!"

"Even if you choose other villagers, they won't tell you the answer!"

The man who reacted took out the cigarette case from his pocket again, but no matter how much he shook, he couldn't get a cigarette out of it.

"Can't you say it? Or don't you want to say it?" Seeing the other party anxiously shaking the cigarette case, Yiting's eyes narrowed into a slit.

"Prefer not to say!"

After shaking for a long time, the man found that he couldn't shake it, so he could only tear the paper box a little, put his fingers in it, twisted a cigarette out, and held it in his mouth again.

Only in this way can his mind be calmed down.

"You should change the question!" He gave the boy a serious look.

Yizhe smiled slightly, took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket with his right hand and put them on the table, jokingly said, "How about this?"

The eyes of the middle-aged man were attracted by the thick stack of banknotes.

That stack of banknotes, at least one hundred thousand, can be said to be enough for him to spend a long time, so he couldn't help being tempted.

After thinking about it, he looked away with difficulty, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said firmly: "No, I can't say it!"

"Really?" Yizhe asked again with a smile.

"Hmm!" He nodded.

But the other party stretched out his right hand, took out some banknotes from the pile of banknotes on the table, and put them back into his pocket.

"What?!" The middle-aged man was angry and startled when he saw Yizhe withdraw the banknote.

Originally, he thought that the other party would slowly play the method of increasing the price, and he could make a lot of money from it if he endured it for a while.

Unexpectedly, this young man acted like a devil, playing cards out of common sense at all. Not only did he not increase the size, but he actually took the initiative to reduce the size!
He saw with his own eyes that the other party drew out at least one-fifth of it. In other words, the 10 taels that he was supposed to get were instantly reduced by [-] taels!

His heart is bleeding!
"Now? Are you willing to tell me?" Yi Zhe asked with a smile again.

However, in the eyes of the man, his smile was no different from that of a devil.

"No!" He still shook his head.

If he doesn't believe it, the other party will reduce the size.

He has to endure it until the other party increases the price, at least to get back the [-] that he lost earlier!

"That's a really regrettable answer!"

Once again, the man saw that the boy showed a devilish smile, and slowly took a quarter out of the stack of banknotes on the table.

"Twenty thousand is gone!"

"How dare he!"

"How dare he!"

The man felt his heart twitch, and he almost couldn't breathe.

Now, it has changed from [-] to [-]!
"Now? Are you willing to tell me the truth?" The boy still asked with a smile.

"I……"

This time, the man did not refuse hastily, he hesitated.

If he agrees to this matter, he can get the remaining [-] immediately.

Although it was quite different from the previous [-] yuan, the [-] yuan was still a huge sum of money to him.

But every time he thinks about the [-] he lost earlier, he feels unwilling.

He wants to gamble again, and he bets that the other party will increase the stake!

His eyes were flushed, he gritted his teeth and said, "I refuse!"

"What a pity!" The young man showed a sad expression on his face, and once again took one-third of the banknotes from the table.

There was a thick stack of nearly [-] banknotes on the table, but now there are only [-] left.

"You are a devil!" The middle-aged man couldn't help but growl.

Yi Zhe smiled and moved closer to the other party's ear, and said something softly.

"Greed always pays a price, don't you understand at your age?"

The man was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't possibly be the opponent of the young man in front of him, so he could only grit his teeth and sit in his original position, motionless.

"Now, aren't you willing to tell me the truth?"

Saying that, Yi Zhe showed the same smile as before again, and his right hand covered the remaining stack of banknotes on the table.

"Do not--"

"I said! I said!"

The middle-aged man screamed, and rushed forward, holding down the boy's right hand that covered the banknotes, for fear that the other party would take away the few banknotes again.

Now that the matter has come to this point, he can finally see that the other party has no intention of raising the price at all.

If he clenched his teeth and persisted, he might not even have the soup in the end!

"How good you decided so early?" Yizhe smiled and let go of the banknotes, letting him take them over.

"one two Three……"

Taking the stack of banknotes in his hand, the man couldn't wait to count them.

Yizhe didn't speak, but waited happily to the side, watching the other party count the money in pain and joy.

Greed is a common characteristic of human beings.He never forgot.

He also saw through from the very beginning that the other party wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail him for a fortune.

For such greedy people, the cruelest punishment is to let them lose.

Because they want to get more and possess more, so when they lose these things, they will be heartbroken.

Not long after, the middle-aged man counted the whole wad of money.

The stack of nearly 500 banknotes has been reduced by the other party three times, and now only [-] taels are left.

At this moment, he is so regretful that his intestines are green.

If he had agreed at the beginning, he would have been able to get the nearly [-] yuan, how could it have shrunk so much.

I really regret it!

Whenever he thinks of the more than 6 yuan that was taken away, he feels like someone has cut a piece of flesh from his body, and the pain is uncontrollable.

"Now, you can speak!" Yi Zhe sat down slowly, resting his right elbow on the table, resting his head on his palm, and leisurely waiting for the other party's answer.

"That is a disgrace to our island, so anyone who knows about it will not casually mention it to outsiders!" The man sighed and lowered his head.

"When you're 'not casual', you can tell others!" The young man mocked unceremoniously.

"This..." The middle-aged man scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

"Forget it, keep talking!" Seeing that the other party couldn't continue, Yi Zhe had no choice but to urge him.

He just wanted to know the truth, and he was not interested in the other party's embarrassment.

"It happened a few years ago. At that time, we hadn't stopped the war with the Nation of Fire!"

The man began to talk about the past in his deep voice.

"The wars that lasted for several years left many families ruined, because their husbands, or sons, or brothers all died on the battlefield!"

"Never come back!"

Yizhe nodded, he also had some impressions of the brutal wars of the past.

Their Hyuga clan and Uchiha clan suffered a lot, and even the head of the Hyuga clan of the previous generation fell on the battlefield!

His father, Hinata Hinama also lost his right arm in the war with the Water Country and became disabled.

　I'm about to start the story...

　　Perhaps, you have already guessed, what I should tell here is Bai's story.

　　The original book just said that because the people in the village hated war, they rejected and killed the blood inheritors, which caused Bai's tragedy.

　　But not in detail.

　　What I want to talk about is more specific. There are causes and consequences.

　　It's all my own reasoning and brain supplements, barely making the story look more reasonable.

　　Sometimes obsessive-compulsive disorder is really... Every time I write something that is vague in the original work, I can't help filling it in...

　　Maybe this is what people say about thinking carefully...
