Are You Sure You're Not a Villain?

Watching the hysterical villager Rokosuke tearfully accuse the four, it was as if the oppressors and those who buried them alive were not Raiga Kurosuki, but Team 3 and Naruto.

"Get out of here as soon as you get the mission! What are you waiting for? Aren't you ninjas?!" Rokosuke was like a madman, and the bearded man couldn't hold him back no matter what he did.

"Two hours? Are you kidding me?! Are you deliberately messing with us? You bastards!"

Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, the client was in a state of anger.

Perhaps because he had never encountered such a difficult client before, and the person was also worried about their companion, he couldn't say too much. Rock Lee froze and quickly admitted his mistake, bowing repeatedly in apology.

"Sorry!!"

"Um... calm down first." Tenten smiled awkwardly, put her hands in front of her chest, and comforted her, "The specific departure time is the normal scheduled time. You should have heard the explanation when you made the request."

"What's the use of saying so much? How could you ninjas possibly understand my pain? Kanpachi still buried underground. He must be in so much pain. I have to go back and save him!"

Seeing the thin-lipped villager Rokosuke crying so sadly, Tenten didn't know what to do. Neji looked at everything that was happening, his brows furrowed, also looking troubled.

Suddenly, the villager Rokosuke stopped crying, wiped away his tears, and said resolutely.

"If you don't leave now, I will..."

"Change the commission, right?" Naruto interrupted the spellcasting after watching for a while with his hands in his pockets.

The villager Rokosuke was clearly stunned for a moment, but seemed to quickly remember that he was the client, and immediately shouted with a red face.

"Yes, so what?"

"Excuse my bluntness, but you don't care at all about your comrade Kanpachi's life or death," Naruto said, staring at Rokosuke. He then paused, seemingly waiting for Rokosuke to retort.

"What did you say! Kanpachi is my brother. If I don't care, do you cold-blooded ninjas care?"

"Kanpachi died a long time ago, the moment you left." Naruto's Talk no Jutsu was on full display. "He was nailed to a coffin and buried for so long that his body has started to rot."

"You're talking nonsense! Kanpachi is clearly still alive!" Rokosuke suddenly became agitated, and two villagers beside him quickly stopped him.

"Naruto." Tenten wanted to tell Naruto to say less, as it seemed impolite to provoke the client like this.

"He should still be alive, alive in your heart." Naruto stopped pretending and pointed at Rokosuke with a dark expression. "Kanpachi died when you escaped to seek help. Blame yourself."

"It wasn't me! If we don't escape and seek help, the whole village will die!" Rokosuke said in despair.

Hearing this, Naruto was speechless and said, "You know this perfectly well, but now you're taking it out on us. You're a real beast!"

"Ahem!" Tenten coughed, reminding Naruto to be mindful of his ninja manners.

Seeing the simple-minded Rock Lee being inexplicably scolded, Tenten was also a little indignant, which is why she stepped forward to speak up for Rock Lee. They were indeed following normal procedures and did not deliberately delay.

If Rock Lee's reaction was to apologize, Tenten's was to try to reason with them, Neji's attitude was to ignore the villagers.

Naruto was practically killing people by attacking their spirit. Even Tenten an outsider, Tenten felt that Naruto's words were like knives, and quite frightening.

It was exhilarating, but it seemed like the person on the other end was about to have a meltdown. Some people, with just a slight effort, reached the limit of the "Polite and Courteous" skill level.

"You... you're not ninjas?" Rokosuke said, trembling.

"You know we're ninjas, right? We can't make wishes at shrines to revive the dead," Naruto said, becoming more reserved and polite.

"We have our reasons for preparing this, and we hope you understand."

"But I don't understand why you're making such a fuss about changing the commission. Are you afraid your brother Kanpachi isn't dead enough?"

"Team 3 is currently the best ninja team in Konohagakure. If you change a request, it will take at least three hours to coordinate. What are you after?"

Having cultivated a good habit through years of immersing himself in online forums, Naruto habitually starts by praising someone, then adds a dog head emoji for protection.

"Your loud noise will only delay our preparation time."

"I... I don't know any of this," Rokosuke said, forcing himself to speak. "I was just anxious to save people, and no one told us any of this."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know. I'm explaining it to you nicely right now," Naruto said. "If you still don't understand, I can explain it even more clearly."

"I can go without preparation, and you have plenty of time. The only thing is that your good brother Kanpachi is buried underground."

"We all have bright futures, except for Kanpachi."

Rokosuke stood there trembling, his lips quivering, unable to utter a single word.

Tenten Tian was dumbfounded. She didn't understand what sarcastic remarks meant, but she felt like she had already won.

Rock Lee couldn't understand; his brain was spinning for ages, but he still couldn't figure out who was more reasonable. Naruto didn't seem to have said anything irrational, but it still sounded pretty excessive.

Neji turned his head to the other side, no longer paying attention to the farce.

Tsunade stood by the fifth-floor window, arms crossed, looking out with her red lips slightly pursed, as if she had remembered something interesting. That guy's being sarcastic again; looks like someone's about to get hurt again.

Summer, which people cherish, is almost over, and autumn is just around the corner.

The autumn wind enters through the window, ruffling the beauty's hair.

In the lounge on the other side.

Rock Lee is catching up on sleep, Neji is checking ninja tools, Naruto is tilting his head back to drink water.

"Naruto, did you say something too harsh just now?" Tenten asked with a worried look.

"No, this is nothing." Naruto glanced at Neji and said in a low voice, "It would be great if that person were reasonable, but I'm afraid that person would be a problem during the mission."

"Probably not," Tenten thought about Rokosuke's appearance just now, and suddenly became a little unsure.

"What's that saying again? It's not the tiger-like opponent you should fear, but the pig-like teammate."

"If someone likes to court death, even a god couldn't save them."

After he finished speaking, the lounge fell silent.

This client is definitely not someone to be trifled with. If they cause some trouble or do something idiotic along the way, they might really find themselves in a dilemma.

"Then what should we do?" Tenten asked.

Naruto didn't answer immediately. He looked up at Neji, Neji shook his head and said something.

"We can only take it one step at a time."

After Neji giving his unhelpful suggestion, Naruto made a bold one.

"When we get close to that village, how about we tie these three people up and dump them in a safe place?"

Neji: "???"

Tenten:"???"

A thought flashed through my mind: Is this person a villain?

Besides
