Konoha: Who says that hunters can't play in the ninja world?

Chapter 367 Hunt 2

"You actually resorted to trickery?" Fengjian, who was strangled, had an ugly look on his face, which gradually turned red. It seemed that he was in danger of suffocation.

"Haha, so what if you're a ninja? Ninjas are also human beings. They will beg for mercy in desperate situations. Now it's your turn to beg for mercy. Tell your men to let my brothers go and make way for them." The leader was very proud. He was not a ninja, but he actually threatened the ninjas. Who would believe this if he said it out loud, but this was the fact.

"Then you may not understand ninjas. Remember, to control a ninja, you must control its hands first, or cut its throat first. Otherwise, it can easily turn into a self-sacrificing attack." The strangled Fengjian's tone changed from anger to relief.

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, who gave you the courage to think you could catch a ninja?" A familiar voice sounded behind him, and the leader's face changed. He turned his head subconsciously and saw Kazama sitting casually on the treetop. However, the touch from his arm made him have no doubt that his plan was wrong. But when he turned around again, the person who was strangled by the strong arms gradually faded and turned into a yellowish brown, and then melted into mud.

“How could it be…” The leader was still in shock, but the melted earth clone came to life, wrapped his body, leaving only his head outside, and then hardened, and the leader became a sculpture bound in rock armor.

“Damn it, how is this possible, let me go…” The situation kept changing, the leader’s rationality had gradually disappeared, and he started cursing.

"Stop shouting, let's listen together, your companion's answer to me." After saying that, one of the rookies stepped forward and revealed all the information he had received.

"Impossible, how could they betray me? They swore an oath, how could they betray me..." Of course the leader could tell whether the information was true or false, but even so, he became even more irritable.

"In order not to betray, because you betrayed them first."

"When did I betray them?" This surprised the leader.

"When you were eating my food, drinking my wine, and communicating with me, did you ever think about your companions at that time? No, you didn't even look back. Your companions didn't get your hints, so of course they would think you betrayed them."

"You framed me?" Few of those who could be leaders were really fools. With a little thought, they understood the situation in front of them. It was the young ninja with the danger of a successful prank on his face.

"How can this be a frame-up? Wasn't everything your choice? You could choose not to eat, drink, or talk, but you didn't. The message you passed to your companions was a betrayal. You can't blame me. Well, too much time has been wasted. Rookies, review the results separately, verify each other, and see if there are any mistakes or omissions. Then kill him."

"Wait, you said you would let me go. You said you would let me go if I told you the information."

"But you refused, didn't you?"

"No, I didn't refuse. I just want a better solution. Let's exchange now." The bandit leader knew that the situation was hopeless. Even his so-called companions were no longer his people. So he could only use his last bit of value to exchange for benefits.

"But they all revealed the information."

"But I know something they don't know that will definitely help you complete the task." Although the leader begged for mercy, he looked confident when talking about the intelligence.

"It looks like there's a big fish. But, I can promise you, but now, you can only exchange your name, and other conditions are invalid." Bargaining makes the scene more realistic.

"No problem, no problem." The leader looked anxious and now only wanted to survive.

"Well, go ahead and tell me. You are the only outsider here."

"In fact, I am a warrior guard of the xxx nobles of the Fire Nation. I was asked by the head of the family to go to the Fire Nation to gather information."

"What news?"

"It's not stated explicitly, but any valuable information is welcome."

"Not explicitly stated?"

"Those noble lords like this the most. Every time they speak or do something, they are vague and seldom make things clear. If things are done well, that's good, of course. If things go wrong, they will definitely shirk responsibility..." When saying this, the leader's tone was full of disdain and he seemed very dissatisfied.

"Okay, I believe it for now."

"Then can I go?"

"Of course, I will never take action." Fengjian waved his hand generously, and the rookies made way for him.

"Thank you." The leader was overjoyed. As the earth-bound bonds that bound him were released, he did not forget to bow and express his gratitude.

When the leader's figure was submerged in the forest, Feng Jian did not make any other moves. He was thinking about the information he had obtained. What can be confirmed at present is that the officials or nobles of the Land of Fire do have the habit of raising enemies for their own benefit. However, it is hard to say whether the daimyo is involved. It is hard to say whether the officials and nobles are involved individually or it is a tacit secret among everyone. There is too little information.

"Captain Kazama, everything has been resolved." The rookies reported the situation.

"Has everything been resolved?"

"Solved." Okay, I didn't do it. It was the rookie who did it. It has nothing to do with me. If you want revenge after becoming a ghost, it's best to find someone from the Hyuga family. Kazama mourned for the leader for a second.

"Have you cleaned up the battlefield? Where are the spoils?" Fengjian asked this question subconsciously, but this question made the rookies' faces change color.

"What's with that expression? You didn't fail to clean up the battlefield, did you?" This time it was Fengjian who changed his expression.

"Well, Captain Kazama, we only have some worthless food, which is large and we can't carry much. There are also some things used by the warriors, such as tents, wooden boxes, etc., which are not used at all and are not valuable." The rookies quietly looked up and observed Kazama's expression.

Fengjian gritted his teeth and wanted to complain, but the problem got stuck in his throat. After all, he came from a big family, but he actually said it was useless. Thinking back to the past, Fengjian's team was fighting bandits and wanted to dig up the ground to find spoils, but these guys actually said it was useless.

"Okay, let's do the math. First, let's calculate your expenses. Your bows and arrows are currently provided by the tribe, so you don't have to spend any money. You eat and live in the tribe, and there's not much to spend money on. So I have no objection to this idea. However, from the moment you join the archery unit, you have to think of yourself as an independent person. Remember what I emphasized when I left the village? We have no supplies, no support, and we have to rely on ourselves for everything. A samurai sword, no matter how bad it is, costs thousands or tens of thousands of taels each. Needless to say, food, although the price is not high, is hard currency and is needed everywhere. And tents, don't we need them for camping in the wild? Boxes, don't we need to carry things? Also, since this group of people gathered here, even the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled are not here, how do they get their supplies? Apart from robbery, where are their spoils of war? You don't really think that ninjas live on that little bit of mission money, do you? After all, this spoils of war is also one of the biggest sources. You're really used to a good life..." Fengjian's complaints were like the Yellow River flooding, and it was out of control.
