I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

But Shinji's repeated "what ifs" made her frequently think back to the past: if I had really done better, would everyone have been spared from dying?

If no one had kept it from her, but had told her immediately when those two guys left the group without permission, could everything have been salvaged?

Yes, that's right, it's all their fault, it has nothing to do with me.

"You personally led them into the land of death, yet you refuse to acknowledge the responsibility you bear?"

Shinji's devilish whisper rang directly in Kurotsuchi's ears.

These words were like a heavy blow, completely shattering her entire defenses.

So...it's all my fault?

Once the thought arose, it instantly filled her entire mind.

The self-blame, guilt, anxiety and other emotions that she had previously suppressed all erupted again like a torrent, completely overwhelming her.

"Yes, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, none of us would have died."

"Just kill me, just kill me..."

Black Earth sat blankly on the blood-red arm, like a broken puppet, its eyes lifeless.

but...

"Kill you? No, no, no. If I kill the Tsuchikage's granddaughter, your big-nosed grandpa will go crazy. Although I'm not afraid of him, there's no need for me to take the blame for someone else's anger."

"But don't expect me to let you go. You should know that as a qualified wandering ninja, ruthlessness is ingrained in our DNA."

"So I'm officially informing you now that you've been kidnapped."

"Guess how many good things your Earth Shadow Grandpa will offer in exchange for you?"

Shinji suddenly revealed a wide smile, which sent chills down everyone's spine.

Click!

The domain was dispelled, and Shinji, carrying the lifeless Kuroto, returned to the real world.

Hidan raised an eyebrow. "What did you do to her? Why does she look like she's been abused?"

Shinji's face immediately darkened. "Can't you speak properly? What do you mean I did something to her? It's clearly because she couldn't handle it, what does it have to do with me!"

So it's still something you did, right?

The others all gave him disdainful looks.

Shinji was too lazy to pay them any more attention. "Just throw her on the ground. This woman is the Tsuchikage's granddaughter, so she should fetch a good price. But we need to think of a way to prevent that old man from getting desperate."

"Hehehe, leave this to me, I guarantee I'll complete the mission."

At this moment, Ah Fei actually took the initiative to step forward and take on the matter.

Shinji and Hidan were both very surprised, because this guy always kept his distance when something happened, when had he ever been so proactive?

Actually, Afei's thinking was quite simple. His original purpose in approaching Shinji was to extract the secret of the fusion between cursed spirits and humans. After spending so much time together, he had already made some progress.

But now he wants to completely subjugate the entire evil god cult and bring it under his control.

Then we must find a way to make Shinji and his ilk a thorn in the side of the five great nations!

As a die-hard fan of Shinji Giegie, he has to make his Giegie stand against the whole world, otherwise how can he show his importance!

Wow, this is so reminiscent of the fandom culture!

That's why Ah Fei took the initiative to step forward and offer his help this time.

Shinji thought about it for a moment and realized that there seemed to be no one more suitable than Afei.

Even if Onoki had laid a trap beforehand, it would have been difficult to capture Tobi. Moreover, if Tobi were truly provoked, things would get really interesting.

"It's like the sun has risen in the north today. Alright, it's rare for you to take the initiative, so I'll leave this to you. I'll write a letter later, and you can take it to old man Tuying."

"Yes!"

Ah Fei suddenly gave a strange salute that he had learned from who-knows-where, which made everyone laugh.

Tear...

Shinji tore off Kurotsuchi's skirt and started writing a 'blood letter'. Well, that's how bold he was with so much blood.

There's no other way; if you want the other party to believe you, you need some kind of token.

Onoki believed he could still recognize his granddaughter's clothes.

Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that the other party is old and has poor eyesight, but that would be a different story.

After all, Kurotsuchi was known as the "Leg Shadow" in the future, so Shinji couldn't help but take a second look and found that it wasn't as beautiful as he had imagined.

It's probably because it hasn't fully developed yet.

That's boring!

Turning his gaze away, Shinji began to write furiously, quickly completing a kidnapping and ransom note, which he then handed to Fei.

"Go ahead and give this to the Tsuchikage. Be careful that old geezer doesn't get angry and attack you directly; the Tsuchikage isn't one to care about saving face."

"Don't worry, Shinji-senpai, I'll make sure you get there safely. I'm off now."

After saying that, Afei took his things, distorted space, and disappeared from the spot.

This capability is truly convenient and easy to use.

Compared to this every day, it's nothing at all.

"What should she do?"

Tamamo Hotaru asked, slightly conflicted.

"Do I need to teach you this? Don't you even know how to kidnap someone? Just tie him up first!"

Tamamo Hotaru thought to herself, "I'm usually the one being kidnapped, I have no experience in kidnapping people!"

Of course, she wouldn't dare say such a thing out loud.

They were afraid that she would be the next one to be tied up.

Kurotsuchi seemed to have suffered a huge blow. She had been silent and motionless since the beginning, and even when she heard that Shinji was going to blackmail her grandfather, she did not react.

At this moment, she was being manipulated by Tamamo Hotaru like a puppet, and it took a lot of effort to finally tie her up.

When Shinji saw it, he immediately showed an extremely strange expression.

"Who taught you this bondage technique?"

Tamamo Hotaru said somewhat guiltily, "It was at the Red Chamber, a guy named Tortoise Shell taught me. What's wrong? This is the only way I know how to tie someone up."

Tortoise shell...

Okay, it's alright now.

Shinji rubbed his nose. Hmm, not bad, nothing there.

[Chapter 424. I'll Help You Fight Against the Whole World]

The Land of Earth, Hidden Rock Village.

Surrounded by rocky mountains, this place possesses a strong defense, making it difficult for enemies to penetrate its interior.

Throughout all the ninja world wars, it has never been breached.

But for some reason, on this day, while handling government affairs, Onoki suddenly felt uneasy, as if something was about to happen.

Then, not long after, his intuition came true.

The team members from Black Soil successfully transmitted the intelligence back.

After reading it, Onoki's face immediately turned ashen.

How dare someone be so audacious as to plunder Jinchuriki from Iwagakure within the Land of Earth?!

Who dares to defy this great law? Is it someone who wants to start another ninja war?

It's no wonder Onoki thought that way, because the so-called ninja beasts were actually given to them by the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, during the first Five Kage Summit, under the guise of "selling" them for the sake of peace in the ninja world.

Although every ninja village that possessed a tailed beast later used it as a weapon of war, this only exacerbated the brutality of the war.

However, few dared to target the ninja beasts of other villages, because everyone knew that the balance of the tailed beasts did indeed provide a certain foundation for the hard-won peace.

Once this balance is disrupted, leading to a large number of tailed beasts being concentrated in the hands of a single force, then no one will be able to sleep soundly.

This will inevitably trigger another war, and it will be a war to the death.

This is why no one objected when Kirigakure 'borrowed' the One-Tailed Jinchuriki from Sunagakure.

If Konoha wanted the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, then Iwagakure and Kumogakure would be the first to object.

But the Hidden Mist is different. Firstly, the Hidden Mist has been weakened over the years and is no longer a threat.

Secondly, of the two tailed beasts from Kirigakure, one is dead and the other has defected and is missing, essentially meaningless. Therefore, even with the addition of the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, the balance will remain unchanged.

Thirdly, Sunagakure was also a useless village. They tried to take advantage of Konoha, but ended up losing all of their village's elite troops and the Kazekage.

Losing another Jinchūriki means they're a piece of meat that everyone wants a bite of!

In fact, Onoki had the idea of ​​invading Sunagakure, but he was always held back by the cursed spirits in his country, so he was unable to carry it out as soon as possible.

If we want to establish a fait accompli before the other major ninja villages can react, then we need to wage a lightning-fast crushing war!

Therefore, the power of the tailed beasts is indispensable.

Rōshi, the Jinchūriki of the Four-Tails, left the village due to personality clashes with Ōnoki and began wandering the world, his whereabouts unknown.

Now, all we can rely on is the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

Now, things have gotten really bad; the Five-Tails Jinchuriki has been captured by some unknown force!

Just as Onoki was getting angry and worried, he soon received intelligence from the Kurotsuchi squad.

This time the intelligence was much more detailed, recording everything Shinji said.

After reading it, Onoki was still quite satisfied with his granddaughter's efficiency.

Compared to his granddaughter, his simple-minded son seemed rather insignificant.

This is why Ōnoki later preferred to pass the position of Tsuchikage to Kurotsuchi rather than to Kōtsuchi.
