You're a Good Person

If they said there had been no fight, Iwagakure's gates were gone, replaced by a deep crater ten meters across.

If they said there had fought, Kurotsuchi was still holding Uchiha Qingfeng's hand. Honestly, they had never seen Kurotsuchi hold anyone's hand before. Today had truly broadened their horizons.

But why Uchiha Qingfeng? Why not one of them?

"Th-this... what's going on?"

Kurotsuchi finally pulled free of Uchiha Qingfeng's hand. "It's nothing. Go back first."

She immediately told them to leave. These Ninja were now their final line of defense. If a fight really broke out by accident, Stone Village would be finished for good.

"But Uchiha Qingfeng..."

Before the leading Iwagakure Ninja could finish speaking, he saw all those watchful, predatory eyes ahead of him. The rest of his words caught in his throat.

Silently, he led all his subordinates back into Stone Village.

Seeing Deidara still jumping about excitedly, Kurotsuchi walked over and kicked him, sending Deidara flying a long distance away.

Uchiha Qingfeng could only sigh. As expected of the Leg Shadow. Even watching her kick someone is so pleasing to the eye.

Deidara, meanwhile, felt rather miserable. He had never expected Kurotsuchi to suddenly attack him. Had all those years of friendship faded just like that?

"Uchiha Qingfeng, thank you for helping just now. You really are a good person."

Uchiha Qingfeng: ???

What was this? Was she giving him the nice guy card?

"I've never considered myself a good person. If you don't hand over the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki before sunset, everyone in Stone Village will die."

"I think you really are a good person. Or at least, not that bad."

Uchiha Qingfeng: ...

Kurotsuchi was particularly strange today. Was she trying to stall for time?

Unfortunately, Uchiha Qingfeng had neither feelings nor money right now.
