Seeing that both sides had reached an agreement, the leader finally heaved a sigh of relief. Fearing that something unexpected might happen, he quickly shouted at the hooligans," Ichiro Koizumi, since it's your first offense, I'll let this matter go. But if there's a next time, I won't let you off. Do you understand?"”
When the hooligan heard that he would not be punished, he was overjoyed. He even forgot the pain in his chest and did not dare to have any other thoughts. He quickly replied," Yes, Captain. I promise I won't do it again."”
Seeing that this matter had come to an end, the leader quickly said," Alright, we've wasted a lot of time here. We'll set off immediately and catch up with the main group.”
Lin Luo and the others saw that the matter had been settled. Although the outcome was unexpected, it did not develop in the worst direction. They all heaved a sigh of relief.
You asked Lin Luo why he was here. Actually, Lin Luo wasn't the only one who didn't go far. All the other new Samsara travelers were nearby. They just didn't dare to get too close to the place where the incident happened.
Although the hooligan's incident seemed to have nothing to do with the other rookies on the surface, it was actually very important. As the outcome of the hooligans 'incident was directly related to the follow-up mission of the rookies, they did not listen to the leader of the Jounin team and continued to move forward with the main group. Instead, they stopped and waited not far away. Firstly, they could take the opportunity to rest for a while, and secondly, they could pay attention to the development of the situation.
In the end, this matter was left unsettled by the Thousand-handed Rope Tree. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, and their uneasy hearts finally relaxed. Now that they heard the leader of the Jounin shouting for them to set off, everyone no longer felt that traveling was a tiring thing. However, just as they were about to start, a voice sounded and forced them to slow down.
"Sigh, this is troublesome. I thought that this would be over, but who would have thought that what was supposed to happen would still happen. It was really a wave after a wave.”Bai Sheng, who was standing beside Lin Luo, sighed.
"What do you mean by another wave? You told us to stop and wait for the development of the matter just now. Isn't it over now? It's rare that there's something we don't know.”Lin Luo asked Bai Sheng in confusion.
"You'll know when you hear it." Bai Sheng did not answer directly. Instead, he gestured for Lin Luo to continue listening.
A voice sounded, causing everyone to stop in their tracks. As soon as this voice came out, everyone knew who had spoken.
"Please wait, Captain Yamato. I still have some family matters to deal with personally.”The Thousand-handed Rope Tree said.
"Oh!" When he heard that the Thousand-handed Rope Tree had something to deal with, Yamato's interest was piqued. However, when he heard that it was a family matter of the Thousand-handed Clan, he quickly avoided suspicion and said," Then we'll set off first and wait for you in front. Young Master Thousand-handed Rope Tree, you have to deal with things as soon as possible and hurry over to meet us."”
"Don't worry, Captain Yamato. This isn't a secret, so there's no need to avoid suspicion. Captain Yamato can be a witness.”The Thousand-handed Rope Tree said softly.
Captain Yamato groaned in his heart. He was just a small fry who had participated in the internal strife of a big family. He would not even know how he died. However, he did not dare to refute and quickly said,"Alright, Young Master Thousand-handed Rope Tree, please.”
The Thousand-handed Rope Tree nodded, turned around, and asked the vampire captain bluntly," Captain Uesugi Village, can you explain why, other than the four of you, the other eight people in my guard team are all ordinary people without any strength? Has our Thousand-handed Clan declined to such a state that even my guards have to be gathered by ordinary people? Or did the upper echelons of the family no longer care about the lives of their clansmen and sent them to the front line to die?”
In fact, when the team set off, Thousand-handed Rope Tree had already noticed that there were a few ordinary people among his guards who were not ninjas. However, he did not think too much about it at that time. He thought that the elders of the family had arranged for them to have something else to do. Now, they joined his team of guards to make it easier for others to hide. But now that the hooligans had happened, he realized that things were not as simple as he had guessed before. Now, he had to take this opportunity to get to the bottom of things. That was why there were questions on the Thousand-handed Rope Tree.
(The captain here is the captain of the Thousand-handed Rope Tree guards.)
"This?" The vampire did not expect the Thousand-handed Rope Tree to suddenly ask such a question. He was caught off guard and did not know how to answer the question. He could only brace himself and answer," I'm not sure about this either. Everything is arranged by the family elders. We're just following orders.”
In fact, the Thousand-handed Rope Tree did not expect to get anything out of his guard captain. Now that he heard his answer, he could only comfort him," It's not your fault.”
"Humph, I wonder how Young Master Thousand-handed Rope Tree will arrange these eight people. Could it be that he wants them to go to the front line to die?”At this moment, a strange voice was heard. Needless to say, this person must be Uchiha Izumi.
The rookies were shocked when they heard that. This was troublesome. If the Thousand-handed Rope Tree let them return to the Woodleaf Village on their own, they would be dead for sure.
What he feared came true. The middle-aged veteran dressed as a Western Holy Knight said with a kind expression," Young Master Thousand-handed Rope Tree, why don't you personally send them back to the Woodleaf Village? When the time comes, if the elders blame them, they can say that they are following your orders. Even if the elders want to punish them, they will be lenient on account of your face. This way, not only will they not have to go to the front line to die, but they will also not be a burden to us.”
"Good, Little Mu Lin's method is really good.”After hearing this suggestion, Thousand-handed Rope Tree's eyes lit up, and he repeatedly nodded in praise of this veteran's good idea.
However, Lin Luo and the others didn't think so. They all cursed this senior in their hearts. They didn't expect that among the four veterans, this senior who looked the kindest on the surface like a church priest was the most vicious. On the surface, he said that he was thinking for them, but in reality, he was forcing them to die. Lin Luo and the others were certain that if they really listened to the Thousand-handed Rope Tree's orders and turned around to return to Woodleaf Village, they would definitely die. The Sovereign would definitely prepare all sorts of 'feasts' for them on the road not too far away. If they didn't encounter bandits blocking their way, they would encounter all sorts of ferocious beasts.
This way, even if they managed to escape and weren't killed as traitors, they would still be killed by the Main God using all sorts of methods. If he followed the Thousand-handed Rope Tree and the others, he might have a slim chance of survival, but if he went against a Sovereign, he would definitely die. He didn't expect that this person, who usually had a kind face like a clergyman of the church, would ask for a life the moment he opened his mouth. He was really a guy who didn't see blood when he killed people.
At the thought of this, Lin Luo and the others felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, not knowing what to do. Disobeying orders? He was immediately executed. Stealthily following behind? Even if he had ulterior motives, he would still die. Acting pitiful, acting rogue-
No matter how much Lin Luo prayed in his heart, the Thousand-handed Rope Tree accepted this suggestion and ordered," Guard Sasaki, bring the other eight people back to the Woodleaf Village first. If the elders blame you, just say that you were under my orders. That way, the elders won't be able to punish you.”
What should have happened still happened. Just as Lin Luo was about to obediently accept his fate, a brilliant idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
