Chapter 19: Ai Aoki

Inside a hidden cavern, several illusory humanoid images appeared one after another.

"Payne! What did you call us for? My body and Kakuto's body are still raining! A voice of discontent rang out.

"Feiduan, don't complain, I called you here this time to inform you of something important." The figure of Payne, who was standing at the front, said.

"How can I not complain! Every day, I either accept commissions or do tasks, and I am annoyed to death! ”

Fei Duan's voice of dissatisfaction was even louder.

"I say, Xiao's purpose is just to collect money, right? This is the one I hate the most of all the fights! ”

"That's right, the current goal is money." Payne replied, "But Xiao's ultimate goal is not here. ”

"To do that, we need a lot of money."

"What!?" There was a little more resentment in Fei Duan's voice, "I'm a newcomer who just joined, and I haven't heard your introduction at all, you actually let me work for nothing and then do other things behind my back?" ”

"Heh, are you in a mood?" Payne's illusory figure glanced at him, "Forget it, it's time to tell you, too." ”

"Xiao's ultimate goal is to be completed in three stages."

"The first stage is to collect money for you now."

"The second stage is to use this money as a basis to establish the first war mercenary organization in the ninja world..."

"Hey, hey!" Fei Duan interrupted impatiently, "Isn't this the same as the other ninja villages?" Do you plan to become the head of a small village where no state is willing to hire you for a reward? Bored! ”

"Hmph, is there no country willing to hire? Miss by a mile. ”

Payne shook his head.

"I'll explain it to you in order."

"For countries with strong ninja villages, the ninja business accounts for a large proportion of the country's income, and ninjas earn a huge amount of money by participating in wars at home and abroad, which can be said to be the economic backbone of the country."

"In other words, in order to obtain the benefits of stabilizing the country, a war of a corresponding scale is needed."

"But in today's era, small-scale wars often occur, but the kind of big wars that used to be have disappeared, and the consequence is that the country has to reduce the size of the ninja village, resulting in many ninjas having nowhere to go."

Speaking of which, Payne paused.

"Ridiculous, right? Ninjas exist for war, and they are rewarded for dying for their country. ”

"Fortunately, the five major countries are very large, and the scale of the country and the ninja village is very large, and it is very trusted, and there are many commissions from other countries, and it is very stable."

"However, this is not the case in a small country, and if the ninja village is to maintain the state that is needed or close to in wartime, it will need to spend a lot of money in peacetime, but once the size of the ninja village is reduced, it will not be able to cope with a sudden war."

"Wait... What exactly do you mean by saying so much? What does this have to do with us? Fei Duan was confused, and he now regretted asking the question.

Rather than listening to the other party's recitation, he still found it more interesting to take on the task of taking the commission.

"Don't you understand?" Payne looked at him again.

"To put it simply, we know that we want to build an organization that does not belong to any country, has the ninjas it needs if necessary, has the necessary powers, and accepts the war commissions that all small countries or small ninja villages pay us for."

"At the beginning, we will take it no matter what the price is, so as to monopolize the war market, and then use the tailed beast to cooperate with the war market to cause war, and finally master and control all the wars."

"In this way, the ninja village system of the Great Kingdom Gate will also collapse, and we will have to turn to our Xiao Organization, and then, we will be able to achieve the ultimate goal, which is the third stage of the goal."

Payne stretched out his right hand and made a gripping pose.

"Bringing the world... Subjugate! ”

...

...

The girl returned to the bar, and she sat in her place, her glass spinning in her hand, not knowing what she was thinking.

Still, apparently she didn't know anything about what had just happened.

Because she held her glass to her lips.

Yeyue and the people originally wanted to shout to remind each other, but when the words came to their lips, they swallowed them back stiffly.

He found that the hooded man hiding in the booth next to him actually pulled out a handful of kunai!

I'm afraid that if he shouts here, the hooded man over there will rush up directly!

It doesn't seem to be as simple as drugged to stun a girl...

Night Moon and the people realized that something was wrong.

This obviously wants her life!

In this case, it is likely that the inside of the wine glass is not a drug, but a poison!

He immediately got up from his seat and approached the girl as if he was going to leave the bar.

Five, three, two...

The distance between him and the girl was getting closer and closer, and the hooded man on the side also became more serious from the initial disdain, and the eyes exposed outside the mask were fixed on him.

Damn it! Noticed!

The night moon and the hearts of the people sank, and their feet unconsciously sped up two steps.

This unintentional act of his completely detonated the suspicion of the hooded man.

The hooded man rushed out and stabbed the girl with a kunai, but the girl was still holding the wine glass to her lips, not noticing what was happening behind her.

In a hurry, Yeyue and the people didn't care about shouting, and rushed over with an arrow step, raising his hand to knock over the girl's wine glass!

"Little..."

Before the word "heart" could be blurted out, there was a burst of warmth on his cheeks.

The girl's fair skin was stained with bright red, and the warmth on her face must be the same thing.

But the blood didn't belong to either of them.

Following the girl's gaze, Yeyue and the man turned their heads sluggishly, only to see the kunai in the hooded man's hand penetrating his chest!

The hooded man's body slowly fell, hissing and exhaling more and more rapidly from his mouth and nose, but like water after reaching its boiling point, the sound quickly fell silent.

He's dead.

This is... What's going on?

Why did he commit suicide?

Night Moon and the human stiffened their heads back again, and found that the girl's right hand had a strange mark, pointing to the body of the hooded man.

Is it a ninjutsu that can manipulate the behavior of others?

He seemed to understand something, but there was no way to confirm it.

The girl turned her head back and met his eyes.

With delicate skin, delicate facial features, even at such a close distance, this is a flawless face.

It's just that those eyes like black gems are full of hatred.

"Are you in league with him?" The girl spoke.

"What..."The night moon and the human brain seemed to be down, and they didn't react for a while.

"You're in the same league as this dead man." When the girl spoke again, a kunai was already on his neck.

"No, no!" Feeling the coldness coming from his neck, Yeyue and the people finally reacted, "I'm not in a group with him!" ”

"I came here to save you!"

"Liar!"

The girl held Kunai's hand harder and harder, and the sharp blade had almost pierced his skin, "You want to cooperate with him to kill me, right?" I've seen a lot of people like you. ”

"I really want to save you! What do I have to say to believe you? ”

The night moon and people want to cry without tears.

Could it be that a real-life version of the story of the farmer and the snake is about to be staged?

Jingle Bell..

Just when he was at a loss, the door of the bar was suddenly pushed open, and the wind chimes in front of the door shook with a crisp sound.

"Ai Aoki, take the kunai away." Xiao Nan's voice rang out.

"Your assassin was Hanzo's old department."

"And others, he is his own people."
