Bibiye carefully checked the expression on the old man from Kusagakure's face.
Seeing little change, but a glimmer of light in his eyes, Bibiye knew there was a chance.
He immediately pressed harder, saying:
"As long as we kill Kusagakure's Village Chief, all the losses our Kusagakure has suffered can be made up for."
"Oh, Village Chief, I heard Hidden Jun Village has been making some major moves these past few days."
"Not only have they been completely renovating the village, but Hidden Jun Village's chief has also personally recruited quite a few displaced people."
"Hidden Jun Village is now almost as large as Kusagakure."
"If, and I mean if..."
Before Bibiye could finish, the old man from Kusagakure slammed the table angrily and snorted:
"Hmph! All that money was taken from our Kusagakure."
"I'll make them pay in blood and take back everything we lost."
Bibiye bowed and said:
"As you wish, my lord. I am willing to lead the charge to repay you for nurturing me."
The old man from Kusagakure shook his head and said very seriously:
"You have other tasks. There's no need to sacrifice yourself for this."
"We'll proceed as you suggested. You'll be responsible for dealing with those bastards from Hidden Jun Village."
"Keep them occupied so they can't help their Village Chief."
"Handle this properly, and after the battle, I'll reward you handsomely."
Bibiye promptly pledged his loyalty, saying:
"Rest assured, my lord. I will spare no effort and will not fail your trust."
The old man from Kusagakure nodded, then waved him away:
"All right, get to work!"
After accepting his orders, Bibiye quickly left the old man's residence.
Only after seeing Bibiye leave did the old man from Kusagakure reveal the burning eagerness in his eyes.
It had to be said
