I Would Never Admit I Was a Konoha Ninja, Even in Death

Near the Konoha camp, Kakashi pondered for a long time, going through a great deal of internal struggle, before finally making up his mind to go to Charlotte Reiko. Kakashi then strode towards the temporary detention cell.

The prisoners are all female ninjas from the Charlotte Clan, along with Samui. These female ninjas will be taken to Konoha to receive Konoha Ninja training and eventually become Konoha Ninja."

Because of the intimidation from Shouhon Yihan and the Police Force, and because these Charlotte Clan female ninjas had all been abducted and were somewhat afraid of Konoha Ninja, but dared not resist the Police Force members,

Because during their time in Hidden Cloud Village, the Police Force members engaged in indiscriminate killing, flew kites on many Cloud Shinobi, and imposed fines, acting like bandits, robbing and extorting throughout Hidden Cloud Village. This instilled great fear in the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas of the Konoha Police Force.

Samui looked at the imprisoned Charlotte Clan and said angrily, "I will not join Konoha. I don't believe the lies of the Konoha Police Force, saying that I used to be a member of Konoha, and that my brother is not my biological brother. He was just a temporary arrangement made for me by Hidden Cloud Village to make me feel like I belong. I really didn't expect that the members of the Konoha Police Force could be so shameless."

Immediately, a female ninja from the Charlotte Family nodded upon hearing Samui's words, then said with a resentful expression, "You probably don't know, but when I was captured by the Konoha Police Force, they said I was a genius of the Charlotte Clan and wanted me to go to Konoha to learn the Will of Fire, and then make me Hokage. It's simply unbelievable that they would send a ninja from another country to Konoha to be Hokage, and then they captured me."

A female ninja with long blonde hair said with a look of grief and indignation, "They said I look like a girl from Icha Icha Paradise, so they insisted that I was also Konoha Ninja and dragged me here. Sisters! Do you know what Icha Icha Paradise is?"

Upon hearing this, Samui immediately replied, "Icha Icha Paradise is an obscene book. The Hidden Cloud Village doesn't allow the sale of such things; it's been explicitly forbidden by Lord Raikage."

The blonde beauty was surprised by Samui's words, then said awkwardly, "Ah~ then it must be a bad thing for me to appear in the Icha Icha Paradise' book, right?"

Just then, the prison door opened, and Kakashi and several members of the Police Force walked directly into the cell. They saw Samui and all the Charlotte Clan's female ninjas, who were all behaving very obediently.

A member of the Police Force called out, "This is our Konoha's Assistant Hokage. You are all lost ninjas of Konoha. We brought you here so you can reunite with your ancestry. Come over here and greet the Assistant Hokage."

Upon hearing this, Samui immediately turned his head to the side, adopting a haughty expression and completely ignoring the Police Force, even letting out a cold snort.

However, the blonde beauty, Charlotte Reiko, was immediately astonished when she saw Kakashi. Looking at Kakashi's handsome face, especially the beauty mark below his mouth, Reiko was deeply impressed.

Reiko smiled again and said, "So you're Hatake Kakashi. My name is Charlotte Reiko, and I'm Apprentice Jonin from Hidden Cloud Village."

After saying that, Reiko nodded to Kakashi and gave him a smile.

Kakashi looked at Reiko so close to him, and his heart skipped a beat. He kept thinking to himself, "It really is that Golden-Haired Yume. My body is about to give out."

Before Kakashi could even speak, a member of the Police Force shouted at Reiko, "How many times have I told you? You are all Konoha ninjas! It was because of the cowardly and incompetent Hiruzen Sarutobi and paid reparations to Hidden Cloud Village, which led to your being taken away by Hidden Cloud Village!"

Another burly member of the Police Force immediately retorted, "If you dare betray Konoha, I'll send you flying kites and teach you a lesson about what it's like to be a traitor! Why don't you women believe Minister Zhang's words?"

Kakashi glanced at the extremely savage Police Force, waved his hand, and said directly, "You're all right. These ladies were tied to cows and dragged around like that, so it's normal for them to be a little emotional. You should be a little more polite."

The Charlotte Clan female ninjas, seeing how gentle and easy-going Kakashi, all greeted him with smiles, saying, "Assistant Hokage. It's a pleasure to meet you. Please take good care of me."

Only the proud and aloof Samui remained silent, still saying with disdain, "Even if you strangle me, I am still a ninja of Hidden Cloud Village. I am not Konoha Ninja at all. No matter what you say, I will never admit to being from Konoha."

Upon hearing this, all the members of the Police Force looked furious, glaring at Samui as if they wanted to teach her a lesson.

Some team members who knew Genjutsu directly shouted, "You all step back first. I'm going to teach this traitor who betrayed her ancestors a lesson. I'm going to tell her very strictly what the village rules of Konoha are."

A group of female Cloud Shinobi from Charlotte, upon hearing these words, all looked alarmed and tried to persuade Samui, "Sister, don't be like that. We're all young. Look at the ninjas of Konoha; they're mostly handsome men, much better looking than those dark-skinned Cloud Shinobi from our village."

Charlotte Reiko said nervously, "Samui and the others might have a point. The Fourth Raikage loves to rob people with Kekkei Genkai and he also likes to steal things. Maybe we really were robbed."

Kakashi waved his hand, signaling the Police Force to stop, and then said seriously, "Your name is Samui? Perhaps you're right, but the victors write the truth. Why don't you come with us? Maybe you'll get to know Konoha in a new light."

Samui shook his head directly and said with a serious face, "I already know. Extortion, fraud, kidnapping female ninjas from other villages—it was all done by your Konoha Police Force. I will never acknowledge your Konoha, and I will never admit to being a Konoha ninja, even if it kills me."

Seeing Samui still yelling, the Police Force shouted, "Make her sit on the Tiger Bench, give her pepper spray, teach her a lesson she won't forget!"

Kakashi waved his hand dismissively and said with a serious expression, "Take her aside first. If she doesn't approve, so be it. If it really doesn't work, lock her up."

One of the Police Force shouted, "Lock him up first, then take him to be drowned in a pig cage later."
