Chapter 118 Convenient Things
He was an ordinary-looking, middle-aged man.
If one hadn't seen his file in Konoha, it would have been impossible to tell from his appearance whether he was a ninja leader or an ordinary ninja.
The leader of Kusagakure rushed out in a fit of rage, his hands poised as if to form hand seals, but when he looked up, he found three enormous dragons staring down at him.
That's it, the seal just wouldn't come together.
Such a big one... I've never seen one like it before!
The leader of Kusagakure was stunned by the three giant celestial dragons and was dumbfounded.
Souji stood atop Ryunosuke's head, looking down at the leader of Kusagakure, and calmly began to speak:
"I am Mochizuki Souji, a Jonin of Konoha. I have come here to take someone away from your Kusagakure."
"I know there is a red-haired woman in your Kusagakure village who has very special healing abilities.
She is the one I need.
Bring her to me and I will leave."
"Ah?"
The leader of Kusagakure was taken aback.
He instinctively wanted to get angry again, but reason prevailed in the next second.
He could only roll his eyes and stammer somewhat guiltily:
"I...I don't know what you're talking about. What red-haired man and woman?
There are no such people in our village..."
"Mochizuki Souji!
Even if you're a Jonin of Konoha, you can't just barge into our Kusagakure like this and cause so much damage!
I'm definitely going to complain to the Hokage about this..."
He sensed that everyone in the village who had gathered was looking at him with expectant eyes, clearly hoping that he, as their leader, would take a firm stance against this evil Konoha Jonin who was destroying the village.
With the entire village's expectations looming, the leader of Kusagakure had no choice but to secretly wipe away his cold sweat and steel himself to make a tough statement.
To this, the Souji simply smiled faintly:
"Kusagakure leader, are you going to hand over the person yourself, or shall we take them by force?"
"You bastard! You're so arrogant!"
Seeing that almost all the Grass Village ninjas had gathered and were assuming attack stances, the Grass Village leader hardened his heart, waved his hand, and shouted:
"Go! Take them down!"
Each of the Kusagakure ninjas either used ninjutsu or threw shuriken and kunai, some even adding explosive tags to increase their power.
"Is it still the same as before?
Ignorance is bliss, they can't even understand the difference in power!"
The Souji smiled faintly and shook his head slightly.
At the same time, Ryunosuke's huge tail lashed out like a whip, accompanied by a whooshing sound, with astonishing power.
This tail whip was like sweeping away trash, easily knocking away all the ninjutsu and ninja tools released by more than a dozen Grass Village ninjas.
These grass-covered creatures flew extremely far away, and when they landed, they made all sorts of frightening and strange noises before collapsing to the ground, clearly having suffered severe injuries from the attack.
Sasori and Kakuzu's Heavenly Dragon were the same; with a simple tail whip, they sent a whole bunch of Kusagakure flying.
As for the few scattered ninja tools, these things are nothing to Ryunosuke; they wouldn't even scratch his skin.
This instantly stunned the other Kusagakure members who were about to make a move.
Sasori and Kakuzu looked at the dazed Kusagakure with the eyes of someone looking at trash, and asked Souji:
"Should we kill all these guys?"
"No need, not yet..."
The Souji maintained his smile and looked at the leader of Kusagakure again, saying:
"So? Bring the person over, or do you want us to do it a couple more times?"
"I...I..."
The leader of the Grass Village maintained his upward gaze, looking at the massive body of the three-headed celestial dragon one by one, before quickly considering the comparison of its power with his own.
Based on the speed and power he just displayed, it's clear that even he, as the leader, could barely dodge or take the hit head-on... and might not even be able to take it head-on.
If he, as the leader, is like this, then the others are naturally even worse.
Although they would never admit it on a normal day, in reality, their small ninja village has very few powerful ninjutsu and is severely lacking in the training of ninjas.
The so-called Jonin of a small ninja village would generally be equivalent to a Chunin with some strength in Konoha, or at most a Special Jonin.
With such a rabble, how can they possibly fight such a powerful enemy?
Especially since there's more than one such powerful enemy...
There were three exceptionally large dragons, and three smaller ones, but they didn't look weak either.
Then there are the two people standing on top of the three giant dragon heads.
Apart from Mochizuki Souji, their identities are unknown, but those who can get such powerful summoning beasts to agree to stand on their heads must not be weak.
The person riding on the back of the three-headed dragon didn't seem particularly impressive; they could probably put up a fight...
The leader of Kusagakure analyzed the relative strengths of the two sides in an instant, and then despairingly realized that they couldn't win.
Then we have no choice but to back down.
The leader of Kusagakure took a deep breath, forcing a calm expression on his face, and said to his trusted ninja behind him:
"Go and bring the person here."
"Ah? But, but Souji, that person is ours..."
"Enough with the nonsense! She's our Kusagakure's representative going to Konoha for goodwill exchanges!
Konoha has already sent an envoy to welcome her, so why aren't you coming over to meet her?
Wouldn't that make us Kusagakure seem like we don't know any manners?"
"Huh? A goodwill representative!?"
The confidant looked stunned.
What is the leader saying?
A goodwill representative?
An envoy from Konoha to greet them.
Everyone's watching! What's the point of you lying through your teeth like this?
Well... It's probably better than simply admitting defeat.
At least after the people leave, I can still put on a brave face for the villagers and force the issue to be the truth, hoping that everyone will forget the real story soon...
The leader of Kusagakure glared at the man, impatiently shoved him aside, and then spoke to another, more quick-witted person:
"Did you all hear that?
Go and bring our goodwill representative from Kusagakure immediately!"
"Yes, yes...!"
The man, though somewhat confused, was deeply shocked and hurriedly ran towards the hospital in Kusagakure Village.
Before long, a red-haired woman with a gentle demeanor was brought in.
The woman was brought here suddenly and forcibly, and as soon as she arrived, she was the focus of everyone's attention, including the three terrifying giant monsters and the leader of the Grass Village, whom she had always been terrified of.
The leader of Kusagakure looked at her, feeling really reluctant to part with such a 'convenient thing,' but since she was stronger than he, she could only grit her teeth and hand over this good thing.
The leader of Kusagakure forced an awkward smile at her and said in a somewhat stiff, gentle voice:
"Karin, this is Lord Mochizuki Souji from Konoha, who has come to welcome you to Konoha Village!"
"Huh? Konoha? Leader, what does this mean...?"
A woman from the Uzumaki clan named Karin was completely bewildered by the current situation.
Souji looked her over and thought to himself that this must be Karin's mother.
The Uzumaki clan descendant who, in the original timeline, was ultimately bitten to death by the Kusagakure ninja.
