I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

Because that's their home!

No one would be foolish enough to set fire to fields and massacre civilians.

If someone actually did that, forget about becoming a daimyo; the people around him would probably be the first to want to kill him!

By the time Shinji and the others caught up, Princess Haruna had already stopped and grabbed a little boy who looked terrified and was trying to run away.

She was so eager to know what was happening in the country that she completely failed to notice how unstable the little boy's emotions were.

"what!"

After being bitten hard by the little boy, Princess Haruna was finally forced to let go.

But the little boy still couldn't escape.

Shinji easily lifted the little boy up, then softly said, "Calm down."

Under the power of the [spell], the little boy who had been struggling desperately finally calmed down.

Then he handed the little boy over to Princess Haruna and the others for questioning.

He only acted out of curiosity.

Soon after Princess Haruna revealed her identity, she was able to learn part of the situation from the little boy, who had calmed down.

The horrific scene they had just witnessed was indeed not caused by internal strife, but it was partly due to it.

A group of monsters, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, suddenly invaded the Land of Vegetables.

Because the Land of Vegetables was in turmoil at the time, everyone wanted to preserve their own strength and did not do their best to resist external enemies.

But when they realized that their 'enemy' was far too powerful and they wanted to join forces, it was too late.

Countless civilians were killed, fields were destroyed, and the army they used as a bargaining chip was just as vulnerable.

In just two or three days, the Country of Vegetables collapsed.

Many people were captured by those monsters.

Because it happened so quickly, the news hasn't even spread yet.

Furthermore, Princess Haruna was disguised and traveling to avoid the pursuit of the Three Evil Ninjas, so she was even more unaware that such a thing had happened.

Even the Three Evil Ninjas probably never imagined that their hometown would be stolen just because they went out to kill someone.

Upon hearing this devastating news, Princess Haruna turned deathly pale.

All his previous ambitions have vanished, and he is now in a state of utter confusion.

After all, no matter what she says, she's just a young woman in her early twenties, so it's natural for her to feel confused and helpless when faced with this kind of situation.

However, Shinji didn't care about her feelings; his focus was on the 'monsters' the little boy was talking about.

If it's true, he can probably make another quick buck...

He meant that he could once again rid the people of harm and do good deeds.

He had no other flaws, except that he was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see people suffer.

Gu'ao

Especially those despicable cursed spirits, who actually did such heinous things, they deserve to be killed by everyone!

Tamamo Hotaru comforted Princess Haruna with a very complicated expression, noticing that she seemed to have suffered a great blow and was somewhat dejected.

She couldn't help but approach Shinji again, "You guys have been hunting down those monsters everywhere, can't you save those innocent people who have been captured?"

"If it's just something you do incidentally, then of course it's fine. But do you know where those monsters are hiding?"

Shinji's rhetorical question immediately made Tamamoyu dumbfounded.

Yes, if we don't even know where the person has been taken, how can we go to rescue them?

Moreover, facing so many monsters at once, she couldn't morally coerce others into saving people.

But she was also feeling very upset and wanted to save people... so she was conflicted.

Seeing her like this, Shinji said, "Go get the things first. After we get them, I'll see if I can figure out a way to track down those monsters."

"Don't be too happy yet. If you can't find me, you'll leave with your people. Don't expect me to stay here to protect anyone."

"That's enough, thank you, Mr. Akagi. I've always known you're a good person."

"I'm very excited," said Tamamo Hoshino.

Damn it, I haven't even done anything yet and I've already been given a friend card.

Shinji's face immediately darkened.

Upon seeing this, Tamamo Hotaru immediately asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Shinji took a deep breath and said seriously, "In my hometown, 'good person' is an insult. So I'm not a good person. I'm a ruthless killer, remember that?"

"Who talks about themselves like that... Oh, I'll remember that."

Sasuke, who was listening to their conversation, nodded repeatedly.

"As expected, there's no future in being a good person. As long as you have absolute power, there's nothing wrong with being a scoundrel!"

"Brother Shinji, is this what you wanted to teach me? I understand!"

You're fucking delusional!

I bet Itachi is already on his way with his sword drawn.

"Haruna-neechan, we should go now."

Tamamo Hotaru went over and took Princess Haruna's hand.

"Go? Where to?"

Princess Haruna said listlessly, her eyes vacant.

The belief that had sustained her all along had collapsed, and with the entire Vegetable Country on the verge of destruction, what could she possibly do?

Given the current situation, is it still necessary for her to strive for any great fame?

No need, nothing at all.

No matter how much Tamamo Hotaru tried to persuade her, she remained in a state of half-death.

In the end, Tamamo Hotaru had no choice but to sigh and leave with Shinji and the others.

After they left, one of the guards struggled for a moment before asking, "Your Highness, are we really just going to give up like this?"

"You don't need to call me Princess anymore. The country is about to be lost, what need is there for a princess?"

"On the contrary, I feel that it is precisely at times like these that this country needs Your Highness to stand up! If even you abandon this country and all its people, then the Land of Vegetables is truly beyond saving, Your Highness!"

"Yes, Your Highness. This country cannot do without you right now!"

"If there is anyone who can save this country, it is Your Highness."

"Your Highness, can you bring my parents back? I want my parents..."

Princess Chunming looked at the guards beside her and the expectant eyes of the little boy, and suddenly felt a surge of heat churning within her body.

[Chapter 298. This is a real trap!]

Tamamo Hotaru seemed to be in a low mood as she led the way, when suddenly she heard a lot of footsteps behind her.

Turning around, I saw that it was Princess Haruna, along with her guards and the little boy from before, who had caught up with us.

"I'm...I'm sorry, I was feeling really down just now. But I've come to a realization now. This country needs me, the people here need me, so I absolutely cannot be the first to fall!"

Tamamo Hotaru was very surprised, but also somewhat pleased.

"It's wonderful that you think that way."

Princess Haruna looked at Tamamo Hotaru, who was genuinely happy for her, and felt both ashamed and somewhat comforted.

Then she looked at Shinji Akagi and said seriously, "Mr. Akagi, if I want to hire you to rescue the villagers who have been captured by the monster, is that alright?"

In a short while, Princess Haruna seemed to have suddenly matured and grown a lot.

His tone was sincere; he no longer boasted or made empty promises.

Shinji glanced at her. "Okay, but only after I finish my previous request. Besides, I can't be sure if I can find those monsters at all. If I can't..."

“I understand. In fact, I am already very grateful that Mr. Akagi agreed to my unreasonable request. As for the reward, I will try my best to meet your requirements.”

Shinji didn't refuse. "How much money do you have on you right now?"

Princess Chunming was stunned for a moment, then immediately ordered the guards to bring out all the money.

After taking stock, I felt a little awkward.

"I only have 850 taels. I spent it all on disguising myself to infiltrate the caravan."

This is only one of the reasons.

Another more important reason is that she had almost no savings before returning to China.

She was a hostage left behind in another country by the previous daimyo of the Land of Vegetables!

“This is something my mother left me; it should be worth some money.”

As if she had thought of something, Princess Haruna quickly took off the pendant from her neck.

Shinji glanced at her several times, probably because he had never seen such a poor princess before.

But whatever, he was going to cause trouble for those cursed spirits anyway, so it didn't matter if he rescued the person along the way.

"Forget about the pendant. Consider this 850 taels as payment. It won't be refunded regardless of whether things go well or not. How about that? Is that acceptable?"

Princess Haruna knew perfectly well that the other party was doing this intentionally, and she was immediately deeply moved.

"Thank you, Mr. Akagi. You're truly a kind person..."

"Stop! Hold on! If you dare say I'm a good person again, I'm leaving right now, and you can save the person yourself."

After saying that, Shinji grabbed the money, turned around and left with a dark face.

Princess Chunming looked aggrieved, wondering what she had done to offend him.

Previously, when Tamamo Hotaru gave her the "friend zone" card, she was still immersed in her own world and didn't hear anything at all.
