Chapter 59: I am the bad guy?
"Don't just stand there, come on!"
Haneda pulled out the short knife from his back, took a step forward, slid down, and went around the crotch of a masked man to his back.
He kicked the man behind him to the ground with a fierce kick, and at the same time used his dagger to block the attacking machete.
Zizi!
The short knife slashed across the machete, creating sparks. At this time, two masked men came sideways and slashed at Haneda.
A powerful blow from a grown man is enough to split thick wood, and the result will be either death or disability.
But Haneda opened the Three-magatama Sharingan and controlled the two people who attacked from the flank with just a glance.
The machete also fell into the air and froze. Within half a second, the two men fell asleep on the spot.
"It's a ninja! Run away!!"
The remaining four masked strong men in front of Haneda were shocked, shouted loudly, and ran outside quickly.
At this moment, Haneda pulled out three shuriken from his waist bag and released them from his hands as if he were throwing them away casually.
The shuriken penetrated through the lower bodies of the four people and pierced their calves at an extremely tricky angle.
Blood splattered on the floor, and a faint smell of blood filled the warehouse.
Asuma and Hong froze in place as they watched the scene before them.
The bloody images and physical discomfort made their stomachs churn and they felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
Haneda turned around and said to Asuma and Hong calmly:
"There are four left. You guys deal with them. Don't let them escape."
"Yu, Brother Haneda, do we need to kill them all?"
"If you can capture them alive, try to capture them. If you can't, it's okay to kill them. I've already left a few alive, enough for questioning."
As he spoke, Haneda threw a kunai at the masked man he had kicked over before, finishing him off.
At the same time, he took out ropes and tied up the hands and feet of the two people controlled by the hypnotic eyes.
The remaining four people were unable to escape due to their injured legs and feet.
Despite their desperate resistance, they were no match for Asuma and Hong.
In just one minute, all four were knocked down and captured alive.
Asuma and Hong couldn't get over the hurdle in their hearts and couldn't bring themselves to kill.
"What should we do next, Brother Haneda?"
Asma's face was a little pale, and he felt uncomfortable looking at the blood on his hands.
"trial."
Haneda opened his three-magatama Sharingan, his face expressionless.
The reason why he left Asuma, Hong and the other three to live with was simply to train them.
For him, killing seven strong men was just a matter of a glance or a lightning escape.
Even though these people are extremely vicious and have killed many people, they are still ordinary people in the eyes of ninjas.
Haneda used his hand to open the eyelids of one of the men, and the man's pupil immediately showed a pattern of three magatama.
"Tell me, why did you come to the warehouse instead of assassinating Yamano Sakata?"
"I received an order to assassinate Yamano Sakata, but I wanted to live more, so I conspired with others to smuggle some food back here and then set fire to this place."
"Why do you want to steal food? Food is not expensive. Besides, aren't you assassins?" Asma asked in confusion.
"When food from the Land of Fire is sold to the Land of Waves, the price will increase tenfold."
"We are not assassins, we are just civilians from the Land of Waves. We just agreed to assassinate that damned vampire Sakata!"
Asuma and Hong were speechless as they listened. Seven people came all the way from the Land of Waves to the Land of Fire just for their stutter.
Also, is the price of food in Wave Country so high?
People who live by the sea make their living from the sea. Isn’t it nice to go out to sea and catch fish?
At this time, Haneda asked:
"The price of fish is also expensive in Wave Country?"
"Expensive! That vampire Sakata controls all the main roads in Wave Country and forbids us from fishing privately. That's why the price of fish is so high!"
The person controlled by the illusion subconsciously gnashed his teeth and became indignant.
This answer made Haneda understand a lot of things. He took out a kunai and was about to kill the person in front of him.
But he was stopped by Asuma.
"Brother Haneda, they are just civilians, why did you kill them?"
Haneda glanced at the puzzled Asuma and Hong, and said calmly:
"What you should be thinking about is why the employer sent the three of us here and no other samurai."
"And how did he know someone would come to attack the warehouse instead of assassinating him?"
After saying that, Haneda swung the kunai in his hand and killed the man without any hesitation.
The blood flowing from the neck made the bloody smell around even stronger.
"You guys do the rest. I don't want to see anyone alive."
"If you want to ask why, I can only say that there is a traitor among the seven of them, and that is our spy."
"Besides, the employer only wants an attitude, do you understand?"
Asuma couldn't bring himself to use the chakra knife in his hand. He looked up at Haneda who was walking outside and asked loudly:
"Are we going to help a bad guy?!"
Haneda looked back at the innocent Asuma and said calmly:
"What makes you think he is a bad guy? Is it just based on what these people said?"
"Also, he came from the Fire Country Daimyo's Mansion. From a standpoint, he is one of ours."
Haneda paused for a moment, then said, "If you can't do it, I can help you."
"But it's only once. On the battlefield, there is no distinction between good and evil, only between stances."
After saying that, Haneda stood at the door and waited for a long time, until seven bodies were left in the warehouse, and then he left.
Asuma and Hong fell to the ground and took off the Konoha forehead guards.
Looking at the forehead protector that symbolizes a ninja in his hand, I wonder what he is thinking.
…………
hostel.
Haneda stood in front of Sakata and Sakumo and quietly recounted the attack that had just taken place.
He hid a lot of information and just said that he killed someone immediately after discovering he had sneaked in.
"Well done. The seven assassins must have been sent by them. I understand. I will increase the reward for this mission."
"Let's say five thousand taels per person, which is equivalent to the price of a D-rank mission."
Sakata pushed up his glasses and said.
Shuo Mao, who was sitting next to him, said, "It's a very fair price."
Sakata said: "If everything is alright, you can go and rest first. This kind of incident should not happen again in the future."
"Of course, even if it happens, I believe that with the means of several ninjas, it won't be too difficult to solve the trouble."
"Then don't bother us for now. If you need anything, you can call us."
Sakumo then excused himself and left, with Haneda following closely behind.
In Sakumo's room.
At this time, Asuma and Hong were sitting on chairs, staring blankly out the window until Haneda and the others came in.
"Teacher Sakumo, can we give up this mission?" Asuma trotted up to Sakumo and asked.
After looking at Asuma's slightly pale face and then at Hong, Sakumo didn't say anything.
He looked at Haneda, and seeing that Haneda had no expression on his face, he asked with a smile:
"What do you think?"
