The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 227 The moment of decision
"Oh? Why?"

Hideki actually stopped and asked curiously.

But the most important thing is that he has witnessed the scene of Danzo's death in the original work, and has experienced the death of Rat, so of course he has to be wary of the opponent's dying counterattack.

However, Yinhu's will to survive was very firm, and he began to smile ferociously:
"Thanks to your confidence, Kimura Hideki, you kept those brats here with us."

"I don't think you could have guessed that a large amount of explosives has long been buried deep underground in their base!"

"And if I don't send the signal to cancel the detonation, the whole place will be blown up at ten o'clock!"

"You've gone to so much trouble for those little brats, you don't want to fail now, do you?"

"I am now very aware of the gap between us and don't ask for anything."

"As long as you let me go, I will never appear in front of you again..."

Hideki sighed and said:

"I thought that the twelve earthly branches must have profound theories, but I didn't expect such humble words..."

"But it's fine this way."

"Even though I've been a ninja for so long, I still feel very uncomfortable every time I kill someone - fortunately, I don't want to get used to it."

"Your threat just now finally made me dispel the last bit of hesitation. I have to thank you for this."

"So... please get on your way, Senior Yinhu..."

Seeing Hideki walking towards him with a determined tone and murderous intent, Yinhu's expression changed from mockery to fear, and finally to madness...

"Wait! Do you really not care about the lives of those children?"

"I knew you didn't really care about them!"

"As long as the price is right, you will give them up without hesitation!"

"There's no difference between you and me!"

……

At the same time, the orphanage children were being held captive.

A masked black shadow was sneaking in quietly.

Her true identity is none other than Yakushi Nono.

In fact, she had left a shadow clone in the orphanage this morning, and her real body had been secretly observing nearby.

As for the reason, Nono convinced himself that it was because Hideki always valued those children.

She knew Yinhu's character well and knew that if the negotiations failed, he would most likely make an example of someone else.

This will intensify the conflict between Hideki and the Root, which will be detrimental to Lord Danzo's future plans.

That's why she came to check, just in case.

The result was exactly as she expected.

Hideki came out of the manor not long after entering it. He neither took the child with him nor went back to the orphanage. Instead, he ran straight in one direction.

When Nono saw this, he knew that the talks between the two sides had broken down.

So she didn't bother to hide, and caught a man with gold-rimmed glasses who looked quite high-ranking, and found out where the children were being held.

At this time, she was preparing to sneak in and rescue the children in advance.

Nono originally thought that according to Yinhu's temperament, the place should be heavily guarded.

Unexpectedly, she had a smooth journey without encountering any obstruction. Instead, she saw people fleeing from here in a hurry.

Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Nono became more alert and quickly headed towards the dungeon.

As a result, she just arrived at the dungeon entrance and saw an unexpected person sitting there:

Tiger!

Why is this guy here?

Nono instantly pulled out his kunai and stared at the other party warily.

However, the other party seemed to recognize her as Nono at first sight, and said with a wry smile:

"Maotu...I didn't expect to run into you here at the end."

"Don't worry, I won't fight you, and I don't have the ability to do so."

"Because I am just a shadow clone, and my original body just died."

"Now I am on the edge of disappearing. Only one belief keeps me from disappearing..." Nono became more suspicious after hearing this.

But Yinhu no longer cared and said:
"Believe it or not."

"You are here to rescue those children, right?"

"Sure enough, you still can't change your hypocritical nature."

"Whether to obey the orders of Master Danzo completely or to follow your own cheap kindness, you will have to make a choice one day..."

"Well, they are in there, if you want to take them away, hurry up."

"Because there will be an explosion here soon..."

After all, they have been together for many years, and Nono still judged that what Tora said was most likely true.

So she ignored all the doubts in her mind and ran straight to the cell.

As soon as she entered, she saw Atla and the others in a cell. She quickly used the chakra scalpel to cut the door lock open, and then quickly said in a disguised voice:

"This place is about to explode, please leave with me quickly."

However, the children just stood up and looked at her warily without leaving the cell.

Mikazuki stood in front and said:

"Who are you and why should we trust you?"

hateful!

Under normal circumstances, Nono would have praised them for being vigilant, but now it actually wasted time.

That's right, a masked man suddenly appeared and said that there was going to be an explosion here, which seemed a bit suspicious no matter how you looked at it.

If they were taken to another place for detention, it would be even more difficult for them to return to the orphanage.

She was also worried and confused. If she disguised herself as a guard or Hideki to take them away, it would probably be a lot easier.

But now she couldn't start over, and in her anxiety she even thought of taking them out by force.

Perhaps sensing her intention, Mikazuki suddenly stepped back behind everyone, took out a red ball and shouted:

"Don't move, or I'll crush it!"

Seeing this, Nono's pretty face hidden behind the veil turned pale.

Because she had recognized that these were the chili balls commonly used by the security team in the orphanage.

And they are not for ordinary shooting, but pepper balls for throwing that are equipped in the belt.

Once it breaks, the entire cell will be affected...

Even for her, it would be difficult to rescue all the children under such circumstances.

Moreover, Mikazuki was already hiding behind the other children, so it was not easy to snatch the chili pills.

As time passed, Nono was already sweating profusely.

She never expected that the moment of decision that Yinhu just mentioned would come so soon...

……

Not long after, Yinhu watched Nonou leave with a playful smile...

After a while, his figure became more and more illusory, as if his soul would disappear at any time.

But that’s enough…

"The time has come..."

Yin Hu murmured, but the big explosion he expected did not happen at all.

He forced himself to wait for a while, but there was still no movement. Yinhu finally smiled with relief.

The only explanation is that even the explosives hidden deep underground had already been discovered by Kimura Hideki, and they had been quietly defused in advance...

It turned out that he did not give up on these children, but had made full preparations.

I'm afraid his shadow clone is hiding nearby, watching me and laughing secretly...

It seems that not only in combat, but even in terms of caution, I am inferior to him...

Yinhu... no, Tangmu was finally convinced this time...

Then, the next moment, his figure turned into a puff of white smoke and flew away into the void with the wind...
