"...What do you mean?"

The girl paused for a moment, then asked.

"It means exactly what it says." Long Er chuckled softly, "We've suffered great losses dealing with your meddling. How can we not recoup our losses by taking them from you?"

There may not be a sensory ninja in the intelligence team, but there will definitely be a sensory ninja in the team temporarily formed to gather important information.

Because of the huge commotion caused by the Ugo Ring, the rumor that "the Sand Village is creating a secret weapon to dominate the ninja world" has been taken very seriously by all the villages. The teams sent to investigate the news will basically include sensory ninjas.

but.

Sensory ninjas are extremely rare and valuable; their strategic value is immeasurable and irreplaceable.

If we could capture a sensory ninja and then have the other village pay a high ransom to bring them back... perhaps that wouldn't work with Konoha.

Because they have multiple sensory-type ninja clans such as Hyuga, Aburamezuka, and Yama, coupled with their large population base, there will always be one or two civilian ninjas among them.

They have no shortage of sensory ninjas.

If they ask for too high a price, then forget about it.

But it's different in other ninja villages.

Even the other four ninja villages, which are also among the five great ninja villages, only have a handful of sensory-type ninjas, let alone a small to medium-sized ninja village like Frost Village.

Their total number of ninjas is only a little over a thousand, and there are probably only one or two sensory ninjas among them.

As long as the offer isn't completely insincere, they definitely won't refuse it.

In the past few days, Ebizo has captured six intelligence teams from other ninja villages, three of which have sensory ninjas in them.

After discovering this situation, Ryuji thought of exchanging manpower for money to make up for the losses caused by prioritizing the construction of the flight system.

If we could capture more sensory ninjas and reach an agreement with the ninja villages behind them, not only would our losses be compensated, but we might even make a fortune.

"If nothing unexpected happens, you will return to your village safely, provided you cooperate."

After explaining the reason to the girl, Ryuji tempted her by offering to save her life.

But the girl refused without even thinking.

She scoffed, "Don't even think about it. Even if I had a chance to live, I wouldn't betray the village."

"No, no, no, I don't need you to betray the village." Ryuji gently shook his index finger, a smile playing on his lips. "I have no interest in the secrets of your little ninja village. What I want to know is your Hawkeye."

You have ten seconds to decide whether to cooperate with me or let me kill you and use your corpse for research.

Let me tell you first, although you can receive a large ransom if you live, this ransom is just a drop in the ocean compared to the value of my research, so don't think I'll change my mind because of money.

Now you can think about it, ten, nine, eight...

Ryuji's calm voice sounded like a countdown to death, throwing the girl into a panic.

Hawkeye is her unique eye technique and the foundation upon which she stands in the ninja world. She doesn't want outsiders to know its secrets, and she doesn't want anyone else to take it away.

But compared to life, Hawkeye is nothing.

If it's certain death, then she naturally doesn't need to think about it.

But if she could live, she certainly wouldn't want to die like this.

Especially if she could live and not betray the village, she was even less willing to die.

If given enough time to consider, she will eventually choose to cooperate.

But now she only has ten seconds to think. Her human instinct for greed makes her want to bargain, but her fear of life and death prevents her from making a decision.

As the countdown drew ever closer to zero, the girl finally gave in.

"I promise you."

After saying this, the girl seemed to have just gone through a life-or-death struggle; she was covered in sweat, her clothes were soaked, and a faint scent of sweat wafted from her body.

Xiao Long Er once again raised his head defiantly.

Long Er frowned and said unhappily, "Although I'm glad you agreed to cooperate, if you use your seductive arts on me again, I'll throw you into the pigpen of boars in heat."

"No, this is what I was born with!"

"Born that way?"

Looking at the girl's flustered face, Ryuji looked her up and down again, expressing his doubts.

So-called seduction techniques, to put it bluntly, are techniques that use chakra and display the charm of the opposite sex to achieve their goals.

If you can't demonstrate your charm as a member of the opposite sex, then it simply won't work.

Although the girl's figure was very attractive, the filth on her body made her completely uninteresting.

If it weren't for the effects of ninjutsu, he would never believe in the existence of innate allure.

To put it bluntly, the idea of ​​being born with a seductive nature... although it appears quite often in novels, especially in Jiraiya's Icha Icha Paradise series, I've never heard of it in real life.

"It's true."

The girl was probably genuinely worried that Ryuji would throw her into the pigsty where the pigs were in heat, so she quickly explained, "My name is Chie Marie, and I am from the Yamagami Kagerou clan."

"The Kagero Clan!?"

Ryuji looked surprised, then subconsciously took a few steps back to distance himself from the girl.

The Kagero clan is extremely famous in the ninja world, far more so than the Uchiha or Hyuga clans.

Of course, being famous does not equate to being strong.

Their fame did not come from their active role in the ninja world.

On the contrary, the Kagero clan has no activities in the ninja world at all.

They did not join any ninja village; their clan lived in seclusion deep in the mountains of the Land of Waterfalls.

However, it became widely known because of the huge sales of Jiraiya's Icha Icha Paradise series.

Jiraiya's novel describes it this way: The women of the Kagerou clan are naturally alluring and possess immense charm for men. However, when they fall in love, their breath, saliva, sweat, and blood become deadly poisons with no antidote. All men who fall in love with them die in the midst of their sweetest love.

Because of this constitution, the Yangyan clan lives in seclusion in the deep mountains, only intermarrying with members of their own clan to reproduce.

Because of this constitution, every adult male in the Yangyan clan dies on his happiest day, resulting in a long-term imbalance of yin and yang in the Yangyan clan.

Jiraiya's novels portray this part of the story in an extremely poignant way, and with the addition of some SQ elements, it evoked empathy from a wide range of male and even female readers in the ninja world, earning him plenty of tears and boosting sales.

People in this world may not know this, and may simply think that Jiraiya's novels are fictional.

However, Ryuji, as a transmigrator, knew very well that most of the stories and characters in Jiraiya's novels were based on his own experiences traveling through the ninja world.

If Qianhui Wanlijiang is indeed a member of the Yangyan clan, then if she were to become aroused and exhale a breath at him, he would be gone.

Because he did not modify his body, he had no resistance to toxins.

"What's your reaction? Do you think I'd fall for an enemy I've just met?"

Upon seeing Long Er instinctively move away from him, Wan Lijiang went into a frenzy.

What does this guy take me for?

"That's hard to say."

Ryuji responded instinctively.

In Jiraiya's novels, many of the female members of the Kagerou clan fall in love with the protagonist at first sight and relentlessly pursue him. This promiscuous behavior, as if they become aroused at the sight of any man, makes it impossible not to be wary.

However, he soon realized that this scene was most likely a fictional plot created by Jiraiya to attract readers.

Otherwise, if the women of the Yangyan clan were truly so promiscuous as to become aroused by someone they had just met, then the subordinate who had been vomited blood would have already been poisoned to death.

So when he saw the girl trembling with anger, looking like she was about to rush up and fight him, he quickly changed the subject.

"Isn't your Kagero clan supposed to live in seclusion deep in the mountains of the Land of Waterfalls? How did you become ninjas of the Land of Frost?"

Wanlijiang's attention was also successfully diverted.

She stretched out her bound hands, gesturing for Ryuji to untie them, before speaking, "This is all Jiraiya's fault from Konoha."

"Jiraiya?" Ryuji asked, looking puzzled as he untied her ropes.

"It was him." Wanlijiang recalled, "I was only five years old at the time. Jiraiya traveled to our clan's secluded place. Through his story, I learned about the wonders of the outside world and always longed for it. So after training to become a formal ninja, I secretly ran away."

"Jiraiya...wasn't he poisoned to death?"

"Huh!?" Wanlijiang looked at Long Er in surprise. "How did you know he was almost poisoned to death?"

"Is there even a need to guess?"

Long Er pursed his lips speechlessly.

That pervert can't resist flirting with any beautiful woman he sees.

It's all thanks to his lifelong devotion to Tsunade; if he had been a scumbag, he probably would have been poisoned to death by now.

"You know Jiraiya?"

Seeing Long Er's expression, Wan Lijiang guessed the truth.

"I suppose so." Seeing that Wanlijiang still wanted to ask more questions, Long Er changed the subject, "Jiraiya's novels don't mention that the Kagero clan has Hawkeye, so is this unique to you or is it something that everyone in the Kagero clan has, but Jiraiya didn't mention it?"

"It's not unique to me, but not everyone has it either." Wanlijiang tossed the untied rope aside and continued, "In every generation of the Yangyan clan, one person possesses Eagle Eye. This person will become the clan's elder and prophet, leading the clan to survive."

"I understand. So, what exactly are Hawkeye's abilities?"

"Night vision, farsightedness, and super-high dynamic vision will make the world more colorful, and the same things will appear in more and more vibrant colors."

"It looks exactly like an eagle's eyes," Ryuji's eyes lit up, and he continued, "How's the power?"

"His farsightedness is a bit weaker than an eagle's; he can only see things about two kilometers away. Otherwise, his vision is about the same as an eagle's."

"It seems this is exactly the ability I've been looking for."

A smile appeared on Ryuji's face.

White Zetsu's body cells are closer to those of plants, and his chakra and aura are extremely similar to those of nature. Ordinary perception abilities cannot distinguish the difference between White Zetsu's chakra and that of nature; only the naked eye can see it.

Hawkeye perfectly meets this requirement.

Although Hawkeye cannot see through objects and cannot see White Zetsu burrowing underground, as long as they don't burrow too deep, Hawkeye's color cells can detect that there is something underground.

Let's confirm this using chakra perception as well.

If you don't find any difference, then there's a problem.
