Chapter 219: Are You Really an Evil Cult?
"Rustle…"
With Li Jiexuan on her back, Tsunade walked straight toward the Sanctuary. She pushed open the doors without hesitation and grabbed the Rain ninja who was sitting in the center recording data, yanking him up in one motion.
"Hand over all the data you've collected these past few days!" Tsunade clenched her fist, trying her best to look fierce.
"Y-Yes, of course."
The Rain ninja showed no intention of resisting at all. With a "thud," he dropped to his knees and handed over all the experimental data he had gathered over the past few days. At one point, he even slammed his head against the ground several times in desperation, splitting his forehead open, yet he didn't dare make a sound…
That easy?
Well, of course. Li Jiexuan's terrifying smiling face was right there over Tsunade's shoulder, staring at him. How could he possibly dare act out? Naturally, whatever Tsunade wanted, he would comply without question…
Tsunade stared blankly at the thick stack of experimental data in her hands. Were members of evil organizations these days really so lacking in dedication?
Could it be…
"You're not lying to me, are you?" Tsunade grabbed the Rain ninja again. "You'd better tell the truth. If I find out this stack of data is fake—"
Before she could finish, the Rain ninja burst into tears, snot and all. "What are you saying? I might lie to my own parents, but I'd never dare lie to you…"
"…"
Tsunade was momentarily stunned. What exactly was going on? This Rain ninja's fear seemed completely genuine.
But I haven't done anything!
Tsunade scratched her head in confusion. "Am I really that scary-looking?"
Letting the Rain ninja go, Tsunade pondered as she walked toward the rear living quarters of the snake-cursed soldiers, completely failing to notice that the Rain ninja was bowing toward Li Jiexuan behind her.
Even if she had noticed, she would never have connected it to him…
"Lord Hanzo, as a god, has already returned to his divine realm." Li Jiexuan used chakra to send his voice precisely into the Rain ninja's ears. "Spread this message. From now on, the religious faction of the Land of Rain will be under my full control!"
Hearing this, the kneeling Rain ninja lowered his head even further…
As expected!
Lord Hanzo was already dead. The Rain ninja knew this clearly—no, all Rain ninja knew it.
A breeze passed by, lifting the collar of the Rain ninja's clothing slightly, revealing three jet-black tomoe that stood out sharply…
Tsunade walked straight toward the Sanctuary… battlefield. Inside were the five thousand snake-cursed soldiers who had only recently received the curse mark.
Tsunade thought that as long as she presented this cruel number to them, she could easily make them come to their senses and rise up to overthrow this evil cult!
"Creak…"
The moment she pushed open the wooden door, Tsunade froze.
With a "whoosh," five thousand snake-cursed soldiers stepped out of their tents in perfect unison, then, like machines, respectfully knelt before her…
"What is going on now?"
Tsunade was completely dumbfounded. She couldn't understand it at all. This "evil organization" was nothing like she had imagined—no resistance, no hysteria. Wherever she went, everyone simply knelt in submission…
"You are an evil cult!" Tsunade declared loudly. Li Jiexuan nodded slightly behind her, and the snake-cursed soldiers inside the Sanctuary… battlefield immediately nodded along in agreement.
So obedient?
At this rate, wouldn't the mission be completed effortlessly? Tsunade waved her hand excitedly. "Everyone, stand up and overthrow this cult!"
Unfortunately…
Silence. Not a single one of the five thousand spoke. Like corpses, they remained kneeling quietly, neither speaking nor refuting her words. Tsunade even suspected that if she did nothing, these people would kneel here until they died…
