Shinji began to consider whether he should take the Kusanagi sword back from Sasuke and use it himself after it was materialized into a cursed artifact.
But looking at Sasuke, who was already in such a miserable state, and was still working so hard, I really couldn't bear to hurt him any further.
"Forget it, we'll deal with it later. Anyway, you'll get used to it after a while. After all, it's a 'broken sword'!"
Just as Shinji finished tidying up, Hidan wiped out the rest of them and then, unusually seriously, performed a ritual, sacrificing them all to the evil god.
At this moment, Tamamo Hotaru looked rather disheveled. Even the white fox next to her had been slashed twice while protecting her, and was now licking its wounds, which were dripping with blood.
Tamamo Hotaru's tears flowed down her face with heartache, as if Kyogetsu were about to die.
Shinji couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he went over and cast a Reversal Spell - Heal on the white fox, Jiaoyue, instantly healing its injuries.
After all, as a pet, this fox is quite intelligent, and he doesn't dislike it, which is why he is willing to treat it.
Even Tamamo Hotaru, who was crying tears of joy and hugging the white fox tightly, didn't receive this treatment.
[Chapter 296. Not a Simp]
"Thank you."
Tamamo Hotaru wiped away her tears and said something very seriously.
It's unclear whether she was thanking Shinji for saving her from the clutches of the Hidden Clouds once again, or thanking him for healing Jiaoyue.
Shinji didn't seem to think anything of it, and simply replied, "If you take someone's money, you have to do their bidding." And that was the end of it.
His "straight man" traits are completely exposed.
Fortunately, after spending these days together, Tamamo Hotaru had come to know the personalities of Shinji and the others, so she didn't find the answer too cold.
Don't ask, it's just a habit.
On the other side, Princess Haruna, who had previously hidden herself away and even considered abandoning everyone and running away, returned with her entourage.
Judging from his expression, he showed absolutely no embarrassment.
Just for that shamelessness, he's a hot candidate for the next daimyo!
After all, people who do *that* kind of thing are all *that* kind of people.
"Strange, how could those people in the country possibly hire someone from Yunyin to assassinate me?"
Seemingly aware that her previous behavior was unwelcome, Princess Haruna immediately brought up a topic upon her return.
And he pretended to be very remorseful.
Tamamo Hotaru's skill level was too low; she didn't immediately grasp the true meaning behind the other person's words, so she quickly explained, "It's none of your business. Actually, these people are after me..."
Got it!
That's exactly what they wanted to hear!
Because of this statement, Princess Haruna was able to exonerate herself, and even her earlier act of running away and losing favor became understandable.
After all, she was just an ordinary person, and the few guards around her were of no help at all; staying behind would only cause trouble.
Most importantly, these formidable enemies weren't targeting her, so there's absolutely nothing wrong with what she did!
A fleeting smile crossed Princess Haruna's lips, then she feigned great concern and began to inquire about the cause of the matter.
Tamamo Hotaru knew that this matter could no longer be kept secret, after all, so many Cloud Village ninjas had died here, and no one could escape responsibility.
It can be said that from the moment Princess Haruna returned with her people, they shared a common stance on this matter.
Otherwise, if the Cloud Village investigates, no one will be able to escape.
You say you didn't participate, so you didn't participate?
After listening, Princess Haruna stood indignantly on Tamamo Hotaru's side, criticizing the atrocities of Kumogakure and Iwagakure, while patting her chest and guaranteeing her safety.
If she can become the Daimyo of the Vegetable Country, she will do everything she can to help Tamamo Hotaru.
Not only can it help Tamamo Hotaru conceal her identity and mislead the Cloud Village's attention, but it also promises to help her restore the glory of the Tamamo clan.
To put it bluntly, they just wanted to use Tamamo Hotaru as a tool and cultivate their own loyal subordinates.
Just think about it, she can take what even the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Stone Village want to fight over without lifting a finger.
Doesn't that make people excited?
In a few years or even decades, the Tamamo clan will become the calling card of her Vegetable Country. Perhaps the glory of the Beast Country can be reproduced in her hands, of course, in another form.
If we imagine something even more fantastical, like creating a ninja village...
Princess Haruna's heart was burning with passion; at this moment, even Shinji Akagi couldn't compare to Hotaru Tamamo in her heart.
Because she could tell that that kind of man was not someone she could easily control.
But Tamamo Hotaru is different; she's young, which means she's easy to fool.
Having enemies means you're easy to control.
Being alone means you can easily fit in.
So she started brainwashing the other person, almost praising the country of vegetables as the top of the 'six great nations'.
谷醷
Despite Tamamo Hotaru's independence and her frequent visits to complex places like the Red Chamber, her methods are limited to dealing with those lecherous men who lust after her body.
Compared to Princess Haruna, a female politician aspiring to rule a country, she is indeed much more naive.
Before long, they started calling each other sisters.
And his tone of voice and facial expressions conveyed gratitude.
Because in her view, Princess Haruna was risking the enormous danger of becoming an enemy of Kumogakure to help her, even at the cost of her entire country.
What kind of sentiment is this?!
I'm so touched!
Tamamo Hotaru, inexplicably moved, completely forgot that the other party was not yet the Daimyo of the Land of Vegetables, and that success was not guaranteed.
This is a classic case of being sold out and then still counting the money for the seller.
So much so that even Shinji, who was walking in front, couldn't listen to what was being said.
"It seems that this princess is already very confident. I estimate that as soon as she shows her face, those rebellious forces in the Vegetable Kingdom will raise their hands in surrender and kneel down to beg for mercy."
Upon hearing this, Princess Haruna's initial excitement was instantly dampened, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her.
you do not say.
Defeating the three evil ninjas only temporarily ensured her safety. She now has no manpower or money, and all she has is the title of princess. Who in the country would care about her?
Could she possibly quell the internal strife and smoothly ascend to the position of daimyo by simply using her persuasive skills when facing rebels?
Go wash up and go home to sleep; after all, anything can happen in your dreams.
Just as Princess Haruna hesitated to speak, seemingly having truly taken her as a friend, Tamamo Hotaru quickly asked, "Can't we help Haruna-neechan? If the Land of Vegetables falls into the hands of those with ulterior motives, the people will surely suffer."
Dear sister!
My sister was right about you!
Keep going, keep it up!
Tamamo Hotaru's helpful suggestion delighted Princess Haruna.
Based on the strength that Shinji Akagi and his group have shown so far, although they are few in number, they are enough to quell the internal strife in the Land of Vegetables.
After all, the Land of Vegetables is a small country with limited area. Although there are some ninjas, there are no ninja villages.
Ordinary people are far too weak to resist ninjas.
Let alone Jonin, even a dozen Chunin could be easily wiped out. Once they're almost exhausted, they'll turn and run. How can a bunch of ordinary people catch up with them?
Shinji was unmoved by Tamamo Hotaru's request; in fact, he almost laughed.
You must have misunderstood something!
If it weren't for the fact that the jade pendant can be converted into cursed soul value, I wouldn't even care about you.
Do you really think you have that kind of influence?
So he said without any hesitation, "If you're willing to help, then help. We'll take the stuff and leave. See you again sometime."
Tamamo Hotaru was very embarrassed after being teased again, especially since this time she lost face in front of her newly acquainted sisters.
But I just can't get angry.
Because she finally remembered how she got here.
She has no right to make any demands!
Suddenly, no one spoke, and both women felt quite awkward.
Tamamo Hotaru has been fawned over by a bunch of perverts all these years, and Haruna is practically a princess... otherwise, she wouldn't have developed such a self-centered and selfish personality.
However, there was no way around it; Shinji had never been a simp in either of his two lives, nor did he want to be.
I also want to tell them a lesson: not all men in the world have to revolve around them.
[Chapter 297. The Good Guy Card]
After many twists and turns, Shinji and his group finally arrived in the Land of Vegetables.
Then they all showed expressions of surprise and heaviness.
"This is... the Land of Vegetables?"
In Shinji's imagination, the Land of Vegetables should be a country with beautiful scenery, simple and honest people, and rice and wheat fields everywhere.
But what they saw before them was scorched earth, mangled corpses, and bloodstains that had not yet dried.
"Impossible...impossible..."
Princess Haruna muttered to herself in a daze, then suddenly broke away from the others and ran forward, running and running.
Clearly, during this time, something happened in the Land of Vegetables that no one knew about.
Otherwise, even if there were internal strife, it would be impossible to achieve this level of success.
