Within Kusagakure.
Before the smoke and dust from the explosion dispersed, leader Grass Ninja rushed to the scene with a group of ninjas. At a glance, he saw Tsunade standing in the middle of the ruins with an angry look on his face, and...
Uzumaki Ying Shao from the original Kusagakure.
He immediately understood that the Kakuzu hired by Kusagakure probably didn't get the job done, and instead spat out the employer's information.
Leader Grass Ninja immediately cursed in his heart that Kakuzu was unreliable. The most famous Bounty Hunter was not just a fool in the end.
But right now, he has no time to find trouble with Kakuzu. The most important thing is to solve the accountability of Tsunade. As for hiring Bounty Hunter, that is absolutely unacceptable.
Therefore, he directly made a judgment, that is, pretending to be stupid!
"Princess Tsunade!" Grass Ninja leader shouted sternly, "How dare you destroy us Kusagakure? Konoha are you trying to provoke a war?!"
Tsunade sneered, "You still have the nerve to ask? Hire someone to assassinate me. You Kusagakure are quite courageous!"
The leader of Grass Ninja frowned and pretended to be confused. "Why hire someone to assassinate? Princess Tsunade, please don't slander anyone! We Kusagakure have always been on good terms with Konoha, how could we do such a thing?"
"You're pretending to be stupid, right?" Tsunade was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead, "Kakuzu has already been recruited, you paid him to hire him to catch Yíngsháo!"
The leader of Grass Ninja sneered and spread his hands, "Where is the evidence? There is no evidence, you are slandering! I can even contact Konoha High Command and let them see that Princess Tsunade, one of the dignified Sannin, attacked the ally Ninja Village for no reason!"
He didn't see a person named Kakuzu at the scene. He was probably let go or killed. Anyway, there was no evidence, so he could just continue to pretend to be stupid.
Tsunade was stunned for a moment and gritted his teeth, but he really couldn't produce any substantial evidence for the moment.
She gritted her teeth and cursed in her heart, this old guy has a thicker skin than the city wall!
Grass Ninja leader saw that she was speechless, and became even more proud, and sneered, "What? I have nothing to say? Princess Tsunade, I advise you to leave now, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
A cold voice suddenly intervened.
Yūto stepped forward slowly and stood beside Tsunade. Sharingan lightly glanced at the leader Grass Ninja.
The leader of Grass Ninja felt nervous, but he still pretended to be calm. "Huh, so what about Red Catastrophe? This is Kusagakure, not Konoha! Do you think you can make me surrender with force?"
Yūto raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and his eyes Three Tomoe slowly turned. "Really?"
The next second.
Leader Grass Ninja's eyes suddenly became distracted. He froze in place and opened his mouth uncontrollably. "Yes... I sent someone to hire Kakuzu... to capture Yíngsháo... Her abilities are too precious... We cannot let her be taken away by Konoha..."
The whole place was dead silent.
All Grass Ninjas stared in disbelief as their leader poured out the whole truth like he was pouring beans.
Tsunade sneered, "Now, do you have anything else to say?"
Grass Ninja leader suddenly came to his senses, his face instantly turned pale. "You, what did you do to me?!"
Yūto took back Genjutsu and said calmly, "I just asked you to tell the truth."
Grass Ninja leader's face turned pale as he finally realized that he had hit a brick wall this time.
At this moment, a Grass Ninja next to him suddenly jumped out, pointed at Yūto and shouted, "The leader is controlled by Genjutsu! This cannot be counted!"
When other Grass Ninja heard this, they immediately seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and they all agreed:
"Yes! Genjutsu is not considered evidence!"
"Konoha Ninja used Genjutsu to force a confession. It's so despicable!"
The Grass Ninja leader also reacted, straightened his back immediately, and said forcefully, "That's right! You used Genjutsu to make me talk nonsense, what kind of evidence is this?!"
Although using Genjutsu to torture information is very common in Shinobi World, it is a private practice.
Now that Yūto is openly using it as evidence for questioning, Kusagakure will certainly not admit it. Who knows whether what he just said was controlled by the other party before saying it?
Yūto listened to their quibbles, his eyes seemed to be looking at a group of fools, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he said nothing.
Seeing Yūto's silence, leader Grass Ninja thought he was wrong. He suddenly became arrogant and sneered, "What? I have nothing to say? Red Catastrophe is nothing more than that!"
Yūto finally spoke, his tone was terrifyingly calm. "I have the ability to make you speak, and I have the ability to make you commit suicide by jumping into the sea."
He paused and said, "How you choose is up to you."
Grass Ninja leader froze for an instant, with cold sweat streaming down his face.
The Grass Ninjas around looked at each other in shock, and no one dared to say a word.
The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds.
Finally, Grass Ninja leader could not bear the pressure, his legs went weak, and he said in a low voice, "Yes... I did it. I know I was wrong. Please let me go..."
Yūto sneered, "You are not aware of your mistake, you are scared to death."
Grass Ninja leader's face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he did not dare to refute a word.
Yūto looked at the earth-colored leader Grass Ninja, and said slowly, "I can let you go, but..."
Grass Ninja leader was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly asked, "Nothing but what? Just say it!"
"Two conditions." Yūto raised two fingers, "First, all the top leaders of your village will go to Hozuki Castle to serve ten years in prison; second, compensation."
Grass Ninja leader's face suddenly turned ugly. "This... I accept going to jail, why do I have to pay compensation?"
Yūto sneered and pulled out Yíngsháo who was hiding behind Tsunade: "She is now a member of my Tsunade family. She was exploited by you before. Shouldn't this account be settled?"
Yíngsháo was suddenly pushed forward and nervously grasped the corners of his clothes. Grass Ninja leader looked at the red-haired girl who had been exploited by them and was speechless for a moment.
"How much compensation do you want?" Grass Ninja leader asked bravely.
Yūto turned around and asked Yíngsháo: "How many years have you stayed at Kusagakure?"
"Ten, ten years..." Yíngsháo replied in a low voice.
"Very good." Yūto nodded with satisfaction and raised a finger to leader Grass Ninja, "Ten million a year, one hundred million in ten years."
"What?!" Leader Grass Ninja almost jumped up, "We Kusagakure are just a small ninja village, with a total annual budget of only tens of millions, this..."
What he said was not a lie. Land of Grass is not Five Great Nations, and Kusagakure is not a great ninja village. There are few tasks and little allocations, so naturally there is no money.
But Yūto would not accept such words.
Yūto's eyes suddenly turned cold. "Low funds?"
Leader Grass Ninja felt that Yūto seemed to be planning to relent, and quickly nodded and complained, "Yes, our Kusagakure funds are indeed insufficient, otherwise we would not have paid medical expenses on Yíngsháo Miss. How about you..."
Tsunade sneered from the side, "Hey, you are pretty good at bargaining?"
Yūto nodded and said lightly, "What you said makes sense..."
Halfway through the words, Yūto stopped and looked at the leader Grass Ninja. He continued to speak only when he noticed a smile on his face.
"Since Kusagakure's life is so difficult, there is no need for it to exist!"
