Setting the Question and Answering the Paper
Outside the bidding venue.
The merchants who came for the gold mine have already entered the venue, and a large group of people are either standing or squatting outside.
There are ninja, samurai, and guys who look fierce and carry weapons. The number of people is quite large, after all, it's not just merchants from Land of Fire, Land of Wind, and Land of Rain who are attracted by the gold mine, but also merchants from other small places or small countries who come to see if there is a chance to find a bargain.
There are also many local merchants from Land of Rivers, and even more miscellaneous bodyguards they brought. The outside is much more lively than the inside.
However, merchants from small places generally do not choose to take risks and engage in assassinations. The vast majority still hope to speak with money within the rules.
The weaker you are, the more you hope everyone will abide by the rules.
"Boss, it seems like everyone is watching us."
Yuan Wei said quietly.
Due to the death of the Rain Hidden Village ninja and the Land of Rain merchants, the ninja from the great ninja village present are naturally only Sand Ninja Village and Konoha Village, so they will naturally be watched by everyone. [Rain Hidden Village's reputation mainly comes from Salamander Hanzo]
The Sand Ninja Village ninja are at least a little more normal, except for the female ninja who is suspected to be Temari who is a bit alternative, but she is carrying such a big iron fan, she doesn't look easy to mess with. As for the Konoha Village ninja side...
Since the Jonin sent by the two villages have been invited into the venue, among the ninja present, Lin Ke, who is wearing the classic Konoha Village Chunin green vest, is the most eye-catching.
Nothing else, he looks too young, is unknown, and is a Chunin, all points that attract attention.
"Heh, I didn't expect Konoha Village to let such a kid become a Chunin." A Ronin with a bare upper body showing a large tattoo leaned on his long sword and laughed loudly.
"Yeah, if boss went, he could probably become a Jonin!"
"Hahahaha!"
The Ronin next to him echoed, then laughed, and then gossiped constantly, the conversation was nothing more than some words of belittling.
Konoha Village is awesome, Land of Fire is a great power, but it's not like they can cover the sky with one hand. Those who hang around in Land of Rivers, none of them have a family or a career. Without exception, they are all bachelors who come for fame and fortune, with worthless lives.
Why didn't they dare to speak when Jonin Nara Yan Shui was here just now, but now they dare to mock? To put it bluntly, they never thought about a conflict, they just wanted to add the title of 'provoking Konoha Chunin' to themselves.
In public, the person who takes the initiative will definitely arouse everyone's reaction. The ninja who come from the great ninja village pay more attention to the rules, and it is very likely that they will not take action.
As for why not choose Sand Ninja Village ninja...
The whole world knows that Konoha Village ninja are more soft-hearted and rarely kill the innocent outside of missions and wars. Provoking Sand Ninja Village could really lead to death. [Suigetsu complains to Sasuke: No wonder you come from the naive Konoha Village]
[Note: In the manga, the death of Nagato's parents was an accident. Two Konoha ninja hadn't eaten for three days and thought no one was in the room, so they searched for food. Nagato's parents thought they were enemies and took the initiative to entangle them. The Konoha ninja only realized they weren't ninja after killing them, let Nagato go, didn't attack, and even apologized, but were immediately killed by Nagato who awakened the Rinnegan]
[The reason for Nagato's parents' overreaction is what Nagato and Yahiko mentioned later: Hidden Stone Village ninja not only rob things and money, but also kill people]
The Ronin's provocation is that they think Konoha Village ninja are easy to bully and easy to step on. The gun should be pointed at good people.
In short, a bunch of stinky dog shit take the initiative to come over, the kind that splashes you all over if you touch it.
Yuan Wei glared angrily, his palm subconsciously drawing out the Kunai.
"Whoosh!" Seeing someone touching a weapon, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became tense, and the chain reaction caused most people to draw their weapons.
This is a deterrent issue. The ninja from the great ninja village are powerful, so they are destined to be feared by others. A slight movement to do something will inevitably arouse the hatred of others.
It has nothing to do with who is provoking, similar to resentment of the rich, or rather, resentment of the strong?
The female ninja, suspected to be Temari, stood not far away with her arms crossed, watching the three Konoha Village kids with interest.
Taking action is very likely to evolve into a large-scale conflict, which will lead to the failure of the bidding and the failure of the mission.
If you don't take action, it will damage Konoha Village's reputation and credibility.
As a Konoha Village Chunin kid, what will you do? The smile on her face grew even stronger.
"Boss..." Xia's thoughts were more delicate, she thought of this, and reminded softly.
Lin Ke looked indifferently at the few people who spoke rudely.
The shadow that had flowed from the ground behind the few people at some unknown time stood up silently.
"Crack!" The head of the leading mocking Ronin was instantly twisted three hundred and sixty degrees, and the long sword in his hand was taken over by the shadow.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
With a shadow that mirrored Lin Ke's physical attributes, agility, taijutsu skills, and under the cover of a close-quarters surprise attack, the few Ronin were instantly wiped out.
No screams, no struggle, only the thud of bodies hitting the ground and the silent flow of blood.
The scent of blood gradually spread, and the atmosphere grew heavier. What was truly terrifying was not an enemy charging in to kill, but a silent, instantaneous ambush.
The ability to instantly kill several seemingly strong Ronin meant that the attacker could definitely kill most of the people present in the same way.
Lin Ke retracted his gaze, quietly observing the auction venue, offering neither threats nor explanations or reassurances.
However, most people lowered their hostility and weapons, secretly increasing their vigilance and planning their escape routes.
Yuan Wei gripped his Kunai, his face flushed with excitement, his gaze sweeping over the outsiders who had been full of hostility just moments before, all of whom avoided his eyes.
Xia looked at Lin Ke with even more admiration. Her regrets about her figure were insignificant. Strength, handsomeness, decisiveness, and execution...
When someone displayed all the qualities of a strong person that she could imagine, how could she not admire them?
How did the great ninja villages earn their reputation? Through killing.
Lin Ke thought silently, Should good people be pointed at with guns? Ridiculous. He never considered himself a good person.
As long as I don't have those so-called moral burdens, no one can morally blackmail me.
What dilemma...
Wouldn't it be better to just kill the person who raised the question? He was a ninja, not a crusader.
Now it seemed that the effect was quite good. The more direct, the more effective. The high-level nobles might not treat samurai and ninjas as people, but what right did a bunch of thugs who lived by violence have to look down on ninjas?
He even had a backup plan in his mind. If it really devolved into a free-for-all, he would not hesitate to act, quickly killing everyone who tried to attack, preventing them from affecting the bidding in the venue.
This was the simplest and most brutal answer he could give.
