Fight Club 2

A Kenjutsu Dojo?

This bizarre term caught the attention of the intelligence ninja as soon as it came out of the guards' mouths.

This was because, based on past torture experiences, when enduring a genjutsu, the first option of the tortured person would always be to carry on dead, in the expectation of using their willpower to resist the illusion's erosion.

At the very least, to keep themselves from blurting out those few most crucial terms at the very beginning, buying time for the transfer of their comrades as well as their own rescue.

But on the other hand, because you have to constantly remind yourself of this matter deep in your heart, when the wall of your heart is broken, the first things to be exposed are often the names that keep echoing deep in your heart.

These big brother escorts, their hearts couldn't be said to be weak, but the first thing they emphasized wasn't their ability to kill the enemy or spy, but rather, when things went wrong, they used their bodies to take the bullet for the big brother.

Now that the cracks had begun to appear, the rest was easy.

After some more ninjutsu tossing, the resistance of that guard whose mouth was pried open was getting weaker and weaker, and it looked like it was going to be a big success... but the intelligence ninja instead stopped at this time.

"What are you doing? Why did you stop the genjutsu?"

The one who spoke was not someone else, but Akaho whose eyes were red with anger.

As the chief retainer of his hometown, he has already had the consciousness to sacrifice his life to safeguard the interests of the family. What he couldn't stand the most was the ninja doing anything to these guards.

But as he became more and more certain that these guards had really betrayed...

He couldn't wait for all of them to die.

The sea of negative emotions had begun to erode his rationality.

"Isn't this about to be answered?"

"But if this continues, he won't be able to hold out and turn into a madman..."

In the face of the angry Akaho, the opposition of the intelligence ninja seemed so powerless.

In terms of strength, it was definitely the Intelligence Ninja who was stronger - for his own guards, the Courtier never spared resources. But the ninja's secret passages were so well-protected that even Makoto, a powerful Naruto, couldn't suppress them, and it was even harder for outsiders to get their hands on the ninja's secret passages.

Akaho as the head of the retainer, was raised with high expectations, receive harsh training, itself is a strength, but and the real big ninja village origin ninja compared to... can not be defeated, the two sides of the political status is really a million differences.

Intelligence ninja itself does not care about the death or life of this kind of noble guards, but he would rather be scolded himself than have the ninja village behind him get into trouble because of this.

-This was not the full strength of the intelligence ninja, who had been keeping their hands to themselves since the beginning. It s not that they don t have more vicious tricks, but those tricks, once used, will inevitably shit and piss together, and the scene will be unusually ugly... You don t say it on your mouth now, but you remember it in your heart, and in the future, who knows what will happen.

The human heart is always a burst and a burst.

This burst feels that the guards are traitors abominable, how to die does not matter.

But the next moment, when things have passed, it may become these ninjas are bold, even the nobles dare to randomly kill, can not stay... for a long time.

As an intelligence ninja, the mind is the most meticulous, the joints of which are even more clear.

So the intelligence ninja immediately lowered his head.

"I'm very sorry, but even if it's death, nobles have nobles' ways of dying! I beg your pardon!"

Akaho was extremely angry and was about to argue with that intelligence ninja, but Makoto spoke up at this time.

"Akaho, please don't give them a hard time, they are also working for everyone."

Akaho could ignore the intelligence ninja's opinion, but ultimately he couldn't ignore the Hokage.

So he let the intelligence ninja go with hatred and turned his attention to the other guards who were pushing their limits.

In the meantime, Yugito glanced curiously at Makoto.

"What's wrong, looking at me with that expression?"

"It's not like something you would do... That ninja isn't from Konoha."

"Ah, indeed... but maybe, what you see is not real? It's like how Uncle Ming is a big lousy person who is rare in the world, but Uncle Ming really loves you."

T/N: Lei Xianming, also known as Uncle Ming, a bankrupt Hong Kong speculator, a character in "Kunlun Tomb", the fourth volume of the series of novels "Ghost Blows Out the Light" created by Tian Xia Ba Sing

Yugito, of course, didn't know about the game stunt from the other world, and Makoto was notorious for his love of nonsense, so she just turned her head away and said no more.

... ...

The guards were ultimately unable to resist the ninjas' various tactics, and told part of what they knew to be true - even if a large portion of the guards, as a result, were seriously injured.

Considering the decency of the nobles, the interrogation was temporarily interrupted. However, for many senior intelligence workers, the information in front of them was enough.

The relevant information was quickly sent to the Kages of the villages, while the bigwigs of the countries rested for the time being, waiting for the Kages to dredge up the information and summarize it before presenting it to them - the nobles didn't have the patience to read the full report, they usually only read the summary of the abstract, which was also considered a traditional art.

"It's clear that only genjutsu were used, and no physical torture of any substance was used, yet so many people were still seriously injured... looks like an amazing organization."

A truly masterful genjutsu ninja could kill with their eyes.

Just like Makoto himself, for example, for those below elite Jonin, he could completely make the other person spend their life in illusion with just one look, and then completely leave this human world with brain death.

The genjutsu ninjas of the Intelligence Department weren't as skillful, but they could also inflict countless tortures on the other party's spirit.

Once these tortures were inflicted too much, the same would be transferred through the brain, thus causing physical trauma.

Although they ended up giving out information that might top out to a level like serious injury, it can still be said to be quite remarkable... They are not professional ninjas!

Those who could take ninety points took an eighty point test and called it a regression.

And can only test sixty points of the test a eighty points, that is called bull.

To do this without professional training, they should be genuinely embracing that organization called the Kenjutsu Dojo...

"Is now the time to lament the enemy? Now is the time to hurry up and find out where the enemy is!"

Yugito was puzzled, as Makoto seemed to have been favoring these guards, as well as that Kenjutsu Dojo, in both his words and outside of them.

For a moment, she suspected that that Kenjutsu Dojo was something he had put up... just for a moment.

Because if it really was Makoto who had come up with it, then before these guards had opened their mouths, that Kenjutsu Dojo should have completely ceased to exist.

This is a very simple logic, the country's important personage was killed, Yun Yin is bound to investigate to the end. If it is finally identified as the Land of Fire's doing, the Land of Fire will become very passive...

Those who work in espionage should never have a woman's benevolence.

Makoto has everything, but no sense of propriety.

He will definitely take the initiative to kill and exterminate.

The chances of this being his doing are really not high.

He had more and prettier, more secure ways.

But then again, if he didn't do it, then why did he... If he was just in a mere cat crying, it's not like...

Yugito's mind continued to think, but the movements of her body did not stop.

"It has now been ascertained that this so-called Kenjutsu Dojo is actually a reading club run by a fellow named Mad Bull. He has been plotting something ever since he took over control from the former dojo master. -

"Mad Bull, he would often distribute books on economics and history in the book club. -

"Because they were all very serious things, we didn't pay much attention to them at first... but now it seems that this Mad Bull has no small ambitions, we must act! -

"These are the books searched from the homes of the guards, so let's take a look."

Yugito clapped her hands, and naturally, someone placed a large pile of books that had been seized in front of all the Kages.

Although separated by a layer of ninjutsu, because these books were printed in very large fonts, and the language was also very common, as if they were specially printed for the old farmers, fearing that they would not be able to understand them, the Kages were still able to understand the contents of the books very easily.

"The nature of business, the history of the development of the five major countries, bacteria, steel and bitterness... are all very serious things."

Now was not the latter days, the ninjas of this era were mostly just graduating from elementary school because of the war, and they only studied things related to war.

But at least after being shady so many times by Makoto, the young Kages have more or less wicked up their financial knowledge, and are able to tell the good from the bad.

-And Makoto's contemporaries because of his influence, in fact, are very young, not even a middle-aged, learning ability can be said to be the strongest generation of all generations of Kage generation...

The books in front of them went from the shallow to the deep, using the most superficial examples to tell people the most profound truths.

For the true elite of the industry, it is natural to disdain them. But for the beginners... the basic principles and operations are all there.

To be able to read through these, one was basically considered to have gotten started.

Huang Tu was the first to finish flipping through the several books in front of him, and finally showed emotion on his face.

"Although I don't know who this person called Mad Bull really is, and I've never heard of his name before, he can really be said to be brilliant. I originally always had doubts in my mind, but after reading these things, I actually had a sense of being enlightened."

"The things that I originally wondered about were actually answered without even realizing it... Apart from the many disrespectful remarks towards the nobility in the speech, I think these books can be completely put into the textbooks for high school kids."

For an educator, this was the highest praise.

After all, those who could be put into a textbook were either a generation of literary heroes or great men who would remain famous in history.

A Kumo Conservative Elder sniffed and sneered, pointing his finger at two large words on the title page of a book.

-Fair.

"Kitsuchi-sama, I absolutely respect you, and your judgment!"

"But do you really think that the contents inside are fine?"

Kitsuchi immediately looked left and right.

In terms of the word fairness itself, there was no problem.

Even the scummiest of noble things knew that the secret to ruling was to leave the peasants half-dead, as well as rewarding and punishing one's own people.

In any other context, these two words would never be a problem, but they are placed in these books... These books are full of cold data and analysis, and although they don't mention a word about it, the whole thing denies aristocratic rule...

With nobles, people live like this.

But without nobles, everyone gets by better instead... In that case, what do they need nobles for?

In the words of the Warring States period, it's standard anti-book.

Certain aristocrats on the Blue Planet were able to delete even the periodic table of elements and the theory of evolution right out of their textbooks for their own benefit, and the aristocrats in the Naruto world naturally didn't fare much better.

Everyone was an adult, and there were some things that didn't really need to be said.

"Alright! Kitsuchi-sama doesn't mean any harm, he just loves talent!"

Terumi Mei, who had already been the Mizukage for some time and more or less had a bit of a queenly aura, interrupted the Kumo Elder in time, but her gaze was always on Makoto.

Well... there was also Pakura's body.

Pakura, undaunted, similarly looked at Terumi Mei.

Terumi Mei snorted coldly and looked at Makoto.

Makoto immediately turned his head away and pretended to look around.

Fortunately, Terumi Mei was already a good political creature at this time, so she didn't have the idea of immediately cutting Makoto's head off and taking a boat out to sea.

Despite being a million times more upset at the speed at which this scumbag was cheating on her, she still focused her attention on the immediate future.

After all, they only set a child's agreement... but Makoto didn't say that he only wanted her child... ah shucks, this dead scum man!

"The problem now is not to continue to create an argument, but to solve the problem! -

"Obviously, this assassination case must be related to the man named Mad Bull. -

"What we need to do now is to catch him and then force out the person behind the scene... The Ninja world is already in chaos, do you want to fight each other again!"

As soon as Terumi Mei's words left her mouth, everyone all looked at Makoto.

This person's modesty was really worrying.

But he really was the strongest in the current Ninja world.

Such an important decision had to go through his nod.

"Well... Mizukage-sama is right, the most important thing right now is to catch the Mad Bull first."

"However, before taking action, I have a little opinion... We several ninja villages act together, as for the great powers, don't bother them."

Stare!

As soon as Makoto's words came out, an exclamation mark immediately appeared on Big Kitty Cat's head.

-There's a break!

Obviously, Makoto didn't intend for the Daimyo to follow.

Originally, this time, the Land of Lightning Daimyo had gathered everyone together in order for everyone to keep an eye on each other, so that the situation wouldn't be completely muddied by someone with an ulterior motive.

Regarding this point, everyone actually knows it by heart, while Makoto is not prepared to bring the Great Country...

Rationally speaking, Yugito genuinely didn't feel that this time the matter was Makoto's doing.

But the fact that he made strange choices over and over again still made her ten thousand times more wary.

There was no way around it, someone with too many previous convictions.

Makoto seemed to have noticed his slip of the tongue as well, and hastily added an explanation.

"It's not that I don't trust you noble sirs, but it's because of some well-known difficulties inherited from history that make the governments and even the armies inevitably present a slow posture when acting..."

The Godaime Hokage started his long difficult sentences that he was good at again.

But everyone did understand what this bastard wanted to say - countries are really everywhere in the pit now ah, at this time let them get the information, is not equal to the whole world know?

If this is the reason... it really isn t wrong.

A few bigwigs of the ninja world discussed in low voices for a while, and finally agreed in unison with Makoto's suggestion.

After all, they all knew that this matter was not their own doing.

They weren't the murderers, so what was there to be afraid of...

Yugito still felt bad, but times were different now, Makoto was no longer the same old munchkin wearing the kage robes from before.

Relying on his fists and economy, he had now erected his own prestige, and even if he was now walking upside down in his clown suit every day, there were still people who praised the big man for his fashionable taste.

Even Yugito himself had something to fear when facing this guy in private...

"Now that everyone's said that..."

Cat almost gritted her silver teeth together before finally conceding.

"Then let's have our joint Ninja Village investigation team conduct some searches first, as long as we move fast and put the report in front of the adults before they wake up from their naps!"

Daimyo are not very fond of dealing with specific things, which is of course unfortunate for a country.

But this shortcoming of the daimyo also gave the ninjas a chance to play... The daimyo's naps were several hours long, and the ninjas would definitely be in time if they moved faster.

"Now, everyone get ready to leave in fifteen minutes!"

Yugito pressed down the inexplicable uneasiness in her heart and gave the final order.

What exactly was she uneasy about... Anyway, it couldn't have been them, Kumo, who did it. It was impossible for the Kumo conservatives to kill a big brother who was also a conservative, and it was also impossible for them, the Reformers, to do so... Then it could only be someone else!

So, who the hell is it?

... ...

As soon as he saw that the big cat was ready to personally lead the arrest, Makoto knew it was going to be bad.

It wasn't the Konoha.

Rather, if she really did that, it was the Kumo.

Although from Hokage's standpoint, Kumogakure being completely crippled was a good thing, as revenge for the Nidaime Hokage.

But... shouldn't be at this time.

"Yugito this dead arrogant, in the heart obviously afraid, but still in the dead hold... Had I known that in the first place, I threw Yugito to Nagato, instead of Killer B... -

"No, if it's Killer B, I'm afraid he'll resist me even more, after all, the revenge of killing his brother..."

Makoto knocked his head and stood up from his chair.

He knew that he couldn't touch the fish again today.

If Yugito was willing to listen to his three hints, then things would be much better. On the contrary, she didn't listen at all, and hardened herself against the pressure of death, also wanting to do something for Kumo... Then, he will come personally.

Makoto thought so, casually found a reason, transferred all the guards around him, and then came to the top of the Hokage building.

He first glanced at Hokage Rock, which was not far away, and then activated the False Sleep no jutsu.

The False Sleep no jutsu worked well, and there were surprisingly only a few seals.

In just a split second, the man who made heaven and earth tremble was back.

The Kage Robe that Makoto was wearing also once again turned pale and white.

Several Truth-Seeking Balls slowly rotated behind his back.

Within the cold and emotionless white pupils of his eyes, what flickered was the light of destruction.

The 'good side' had returned.

This fellow was ruthless by nature.

However, Makoto knew that he would not destroy anything.

Because this was Konoha.

This was the place where those he loved, and those who loved him, lay in eternal rest.

And there they were, in the comforting monument of the Suo clan.

"As for acting like a thief in defense every time? -

"I am you. -

"The strong you, the brave you, the one who, in your mind, can save everything."

Good side muttered so, resisting the urge to give the Hyuuga Clan a Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion as soon as he took flight.

In the Ninja world, there had always been this misconception that the Six-Path broths had created all the jutsu.

The truth is not like that, what the Sage of Six Path passed down is actually only Ninshu.

The vast amount of ninjutsu were slowly added to over a long period of time by ninjas of varying strengths and weaknesses.

For example, Sage of Six Paths would never know Harem no jutsu.

If he and his brother had known Harem no Jutsu back then, they definitely wouldn't have had such a hard time beating up the old mother Kaguya.

However, it is undeniable that Sage of Six Paths is absolutely powerful.

He might not be able to do it in the details, but as long as Sage of Sixx Paths wanted to, with his power brick flying, he could definitely simulate most of the ninjutsu in the world right now.

Good side was actually the same now.

He couldn't fly ninjutsu, but he didn't care about chakra consumption at all - Sage of Six Path's Distraction Jutsu was actually a bug stuck between the Pure Land and the present world, and taking advantage of the odd characteristic of the twin souls being non-living, non-dead, the Good Soul could extract chakra from the Pure Land at will, and it could be said to be virtually unlimited chakra.

He doesn't know fly ninjutsus, but he doesn't care about chakra consumption at all - the Six Desire Technique is actually a bug between the Pure Land and the real world, taking advantage of the weird characteristics of the two souls that are neither alive nor dead, and the 'good side' can do whatever they want by extracting chakra from Pure Land.

T/N: 'Six Desire Technique' is a reference to the "The Demonic Chapter of Six Desires", which is in a fantasy novel, "Silent Killing", by Qidian, a Chinese writer Xiong Langgou.

It didn't matter what kind of jutsu he was creating at all, it was done.

With the ability to burn off massive amounts of chakra in a short period of time and Truth-Seeking Ball's protection, he simply ignored the consumption and the sound barrier, and quickly dashed towards the Land of Lightning at supersonic speeds all the way.

The Joint Investigation Mission was certainly much closer to the Kinjutsu Dojo than Konoha, but Makoto utilized the 'Good side's completely unreasonable speed to surprisingly arrive first after him.

After arriving at their destination, the state of the 'Good side' began to become unstable, and even the Truth-Seeking Ball disintegrated one by one along with them.

"My technique is perfect, and the Six Paths Brothers have in no way hidden anything in that regard. As a matter of fact, I shouldn't have returned to the Pure Land so quickly... Yes, it's the heart demon. -

"The heart demon can't hold out any longer. -

"It has been under too much pressure all these years and has never been repaired. That guy throws all kinds of garbage at the Heart Demon, causing tons of damage to it. -

"On the contrary, this guy is also greedy, and most of all, he likes to swallow other people's love, which is simply arsenic to the heart demon... Once the heart demon collapses, the six desires distraction technique will collapse right after it. -

"It is impossible for the 'evil side' not to know. -

"You are... counting on me. -

"Hey... you're always like this. -

"But since you've been able to calculate to this extent with unparalleled precision, you should also realize that the countdown to our complete fusion again has also begun. -

"You've been resisting becoming the next Nagato, yet you've always distrusted humans, so how can you defeat me if you're such a coward? -

"Will you become a king, or a mount?"

The 'good side' murmured so, but instead of forcing the use of the Yin-Yang technique and delaying his return to the Pure Land, he complied with this change.

A few seconds later, all of the Truth-Seeking Ball behind Makoto shattered, and the white clothes on his body also turned into pieces, leaving only the blood-soaked Makoto standing in place.

"Hah... hah... -

"No matter how many times I feel it, the power of both sides is frighteningly large. -

"He just got on top of me for such a while, my body still can't take it... cough..."

Unlike the evil souls that were always on earth, the good souls created a special environment similar to the Asura Path in the Pure Land, where life went on and on, and battles continued.

When Makoto was fighting, he was fighting.

When Makoto was resting, he was fighting.

When Makoto was running Konoha, he was still fighting.

It was clear that he was essentially a human being, but the purity of 'good side' was far higher.

Before, Makoto hadn't thought too much about it; he had utilized the Six Desires Technique just to steal the Infinite Chakra from Pure Land. But now it seemed that there were more problems with this jutsu than he had imagined.

He hadn't even thought at first that the difference between good and evil souls would be so great.

If the two were equal, then of course there would be no problem, just the right amount of yin and yang, but one is strong and the other is weak...

"If you want to maintain parity with the good souls again, then you have to gain more hatred, or more accurately, dark chakra..."

Love and kindness were simply too difficult to obtain.

Especially after Makoto had committed countless sins.

But on the flip side, words of hatred...

"No, now is not the time to worry about that, right now I have to stop the Joint Investigation Mission..."

Makoto thought so, adjusted his breathing and washed away the blood on his body.

In fact, he had only stayed there for about ten seconds, but those wounds on his body that were caused by the descent of the Good Soul had already healed.

Adding up his points until now, Makoto already possessed the self-healing ability of the Shodaime Hokage level.

As long as he wasn't killed in one breath, he could always recover quickly.

Once the 'Good soul' was gone, the pressure was gone, and after just a slight wait, his body had recovered more or less.

Obviously, the later the additions went, the better the effect became, and almost every point was a qualitative change.

Unfortunately, every year that passes, the fewer business type missions he can do, but instead, the emotion mission are getting more and more... damned system.

Makoto washed away the blood on his body, and after silently spitting in his mind at the always unsuspecting system, he once again began to act.

He first used his ninjutsu to contact the Kiri, Konoha, and Suna members of the Joint Investigation Team.

Konoha didn't need to say much, just give direct orders.

Kiri and Suna were slightly more troublesome, but with the relationship between the two sides, it wasn't so bad that they wouldn't follow orders...

"Let's pretend to be attacked and isolate Akaho's party and Kumo? Good, we understand!"

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

"This... Mizukage-sama didn't give us similar orders before... Yes, we understand, but please, afterward, explain it to Mizukage-sama..."

Because of the proximity, Makoto could already vaguely sense the presence of the Joint Investigation Team. But very quickly, there was a commotion in the Joint Investigation Mission, as if they were being attacked by some invisible enemy.

-It had to be said that the senior ninjas were really per capita shadow emperors. It was hard to figure out why they were always willing to be ninjas and didn't run off to make movies.

To be fair, the level of Kumo and Iwa was actually quite good. But for one thing, the other three villages acted really realistically, and for another, ninja villages are ultimately wary of each other.

That's why they preferred to believe that there was an invisible enemy attacking the Joint Investigation Mission, rather than joining with the other three villages to meet the battle.

In the midst of the chaos, just as Makoto had expected, Kumo and Iwa withdrew from the battlefield first with Akaho, and then Kumo and Iwa mentally separated and began to wait for the hidden enemy's attack.

The people of these two villages weren't fools, no matter who did it this time, it was a big deal that stabbed the sky.

That what Kinjutsu Dojo until now has not run away, either is really do not know the action of the above, or have some dependence and have other plans....

Even this so-called Kinjutsu Dojo, itself is part of the bait, specially waiting for the joint investigation group over, and then ruthlessly under their face - it is not possible to say, this time the thing is the Akatsuki organization to do, there waiting for them is Pain.

But regardless of the facts, they had to go on this trip. And through this battle, they can also reverse reason a lot of things... There are not many ninja who can live to this age who are not cunning.

A guy like Gai who has a gut that goes all the way to the end is really an anomaly...

Kumo and Iwa looked flustered, but Makoto could see that they were actually as steady as old dogs.

Intentionally or unintentionally, the three had become a hand in hand. If that group of expected enemies really appeared, they would definitely give each other infinite surprises.

...However it didn't.

Because this was originally just a farce directed by the three ninja villages themselves.

Seeing that Kumogakure and Iwagakure had temporarily separated, taking only Akaho and his party with them, and retreated into a small grove of trees pretending to be in chaos, Makoto, who had been hidden in the darkness, hurriedly contacted Yugito, who stood at the forefront of the queue.

"Alright, Cat, this is the end of the line."

"If you go any further, you'll see the last thing you want to see."

Yugito suddenly heard Makoto's ninjutsu transmission, and she was instantly startled.

It was a good thing that the current cat wasn't the same cat as before, after being harassed by Makoto with high intensity, she wouldn't just blow up like she did before.

"Godaime Hokage? Why have you suddenly come to the Land of Lightning? Weren't you in Konoha before?"

"How did you come over here!"

"And... what do you mean?"

When the Joint Investigation Team started to move, Makoto was still communicating with them through communication jutsu, but now he had appeared directly in front of the Joint Investigation Team, this kind of speed was simply terrifying.

Moreover, Yugito was more concerned about why Makoto was secretly contacting her.

This time, the matter was very strange from the very beginning.

Makoto's actions revealed suspicion everywhere.

"You should stop the group first, then come alone and I'll take you to the Kinjutsu Dojo."

"After arriving at the place, you'll know why."

Under normal circumstances, Yugito would never agree to such a thing.

But Makoto was different.

After all... if the other party really wanted to kill her, there was no need to tell her that much.

During the previous appointment, he had demonstrated once with his powerful strength how easy it was for him to fight a village with one person.

Odd as it was, Yugito decided to go over and take a look.

Thus, under Makoto's covert guidance, Yugito quickly broke away from the large group and arrived in front of a huge and decaying Kinjutsu dojo.

This dojo was originally a product of the samurai era. With the passing of the samurai era, the dojo, which used to be bustling with activity, was now in its twilight years.

However, not long ago, the arrival of a group of young people had slightly changed the dojo's deadly situation...

No, it wasn't just the young people.

When Yugito arrived at the dojo, he found that there were a few middle-aged men, still smartly dressed, leaving with a few books in their arms.

When they saw Yugito coming, they immediately perked up.

But they ended up saying nothing, riding in a palanquin cage and leaving in a hurry.

"It seems to be the middle class of certain cities... who are just getting rich... or, certain small factory owners... "

Yugito muttered darkly, relying on her experience as she tried to analyze the identity of the departing people.

But she didn't forcefully leave them behind.

In her mind, Makoto was much more important than them.

He deliberately lured her here, so he must have his thoughts...

Very quickly, Yugito saw Makoto.

He carried a faint scent of blood on his body, sitting on the ancient threshold with a pale face and a bit of worry flickering in his eyes.

This was simply completely different from the mixed demon king Yugito had remembered in the past... But soon, the corner of Makoto's mouth picked up a smile again, reverting to that demonic stance.

"You sought me out, why exactly! This Kinjutsu dojo, are you really the one running it!"

Honestly, Yugito didn't actually think so.

But she had to swindle him a bit.

Then, Makoto threw out an answer she hadn't expected.

"As a matter of fact, this dojo... is run by you, Kumogakure."

"The wealthy, the downtrodden, the young people who can't find a future, all converge here."

"They have felt it, the pulse of a new generation."

Yugito: ?????!
