I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

And there's something quite interesting.

Shinji noticed that these people reacted differently after hearing the news.

Some people's expressions changed drastically and they looked uneasy; others beat their chests, covered their faces, and wept; still others gritted their teeth and cursed loudly...

The village chief, Matsuzaka Ichiro, was even more interesting; he was deathly pale and sweating profusely.

He was terrified and greatly fearful, as if the monster that had been lurking in their village had been eliminated.

Shinji had some guesses about this. Judging from the guy's fat head and big ears and fancy clothes, he probably used this opportunity to make money for himself. Now that his scheme has been exposed and he has lost his backer, he is naturally anxious.

Shinji guessed correctly. Although Matsuzaka Ichiro was also terrified of the Spider Woman, after he led the first group of outsiders into the cave to serve as food for the monster, he seemed to have broken free of his shackles.

The wealth carried by those outsiders and the fearful gazes of the other villagers gave him a taste of success, and from then on he intensified his persecution of outsiders.

Sometimes they try to lure people in, and sometimes they simply trick villagers into sending their relatives and friends who live elsewhere...

Those in the village who dared to resist him had their property seized and then sent to the lower realms as food.

The crazy woman at the village entrance was one of the victims; the person she secretly let go was her own younger brother.

The evil in human nature is truly terrifying.

"Impossible! You're lying! How could just a few of you possibly kill Lady Liz?!"

"Lady Liss is an immortal and great being!"

"Those useless ninjas are utterly no match for Lady Liz!"

Matsuzaka Ichiro suddenly started yelling like a madman, then rushed into the courtyard to look for his 'Lady Liz'.

Unfortunately, the pseudo-domain below has vanished, leaving only an empty cellar beneath the courtyard.

Unable to accept this blow, Matsuzaka Ichiro slumped to the ground in a daze.

Without Lady Liz backing him up, given the bad things he'd done, he wouldn't even have a chance to see the sun rise the next day.

Those villagers who hate him so much will be the first to tear him to pieces!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shiver.

No!

He can't die yet!

He has painstakingly accumulated so much wealth that he hasn't even spent it all yet.

It's all because of these guys, these bastards ruined him.

Matsuzaka Ichiro suddenly jumped up, pointing in the direction of Shinji and the others, his expression extremely excited.

"What are you waiting for? Quickly, kill them!"

"Even if that monster is really dead, so what? Do we have a way back? Think about how many people you have directly or indirectly killed over the years? You personally threw them down there to be cruelly eaten by that monster!"

"You think you're free now that that monster is dead? Dream on!"

"See him? He's a ninja from Kirigakure! Soon someone will come to arrest you and put you on trial."

"Are you really willing to pay for the lives of those outsiders?!"

Just a moment ago she was calling her 'Lady Liz,' but now she's calling her a monster. How true to life!

It must be said that Matsuzaka Ichiro's counterattack after being pushed to the limit did have a significant effect.

After all, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, many villagers have participated in the persecution of others.

Everyone selfishly uses the lives of others to secure their own peaceful and stable life.

But now the truth has come out!

The survivors in this area are irrefutable witnesses!

Some people can even recall the curses that were heard when they were grabbed and thrown down.

If this gets back to the powerful leader, they'll have no chance of survival.

Many people hesitated at first, but then quickly turned into ferocious expressions.

"The village chief is right. If we let these people go, we'll be the ones who die!"

"Yes, we can't let them go!"

"Kill all these outsiders!"

One by one, the villagers raised their plows or pitchforks, their ferocious faces resembling vengeful ghosts in the light of the surrounding torches!

When Shinji saw them, he even thought these people were uglier than those ugly cursed spirits.

Moreover, it's ugly from the inside out, it's disgusting!

Upon seeing this, Matsuzaka Ichiro immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and before the villagers could take action, he spoke first: "Actually, I have another suggestion that can be a win-win situation for both of us."

"As long as you promise not to report what happened here and hand over these unconscious outsiders to us, we will agree on a story that you did indeed eliminate a very terrifying monster and saved our entire village!"

"When the time comes, you'll get credit, we'll be exempt from interrogation, and everyone will be happy!"

"Of course, we won't let you make a wasted trip."

Matsuzaka Ichiro knew very well that the person who could kill that monster was far beyond what a group of villagers could keep alive. If a fight broke out, they might all die before they could even touch the other's clothes.

But he had to rally the villagers' spirits and morale just now, only then would he have leverage to negotiate with them.

He naturally assumed that merit and wealth would shut the other party up.

Otherwise, are we really going to kill them all to make up for the lives of those outsiders?!

To come up with such a solution in such a short time, Ichiro Matsuzaka certainly has a knack for quick thinking.

Moreover, if it were someone else, they might actually have agreed.

If you can get credit and make money, who cares about the thoughts of a few dead people?

"You are the ninja of this country, so you are in charge."

Shinji suddenly looked at Hozuki Mangetsu, wanting to know what the other was thinking.

Hozuki Mangetsu's answer did not disappoint him.

"If you want to fight, then come at me. You are not worthy to be citizens of the Land of Water."

"Are you insane?! Do you really want to sacrifice us, the living who are being coerced by monsters, for the sake of some dead people?"

Matsuzaka Ichiro's voice cracked with anger.

puff!

A head, its eyes still filled with disbelief, rolled down.

"It's so annoying how long-winded she keeps nagging!"

"Do you need me to clean up all this trash for you?"

Hidan was picking at his ear with his little finger while the bloody three-month scythe in his other hand was dripping blood.

[Chapter 141. Duan Ge, a ruthless and taciturn man!]

Brother Duan is a tough guy who doesn't talk much!

He had long disliked this fat pig. If it weren't for Shinji always telling him that the evil god didn't like ordinary people as sacrifices and preferred high-quality sacrifices, and thus admonishing him not to lay a hand on ordinary people, he would have been in trouble.

Otherwise, his Bloodstained Three-Month Scythe would have sent the guy to meet the evil god the moment he uttered his first word.

Faced with Hidan's extremely serious question, Hozuki Mangetsu could only rub his cheeks a couple of times and say helplessly, "Don't kill them all. As long as they're still holding weapons, do as you please."

Before the words were even finished, many people threw their farm tools aside.

Although they had been misled by Matsuzaka Ichiro, fear overwhelmed their impulses after witnessing him beheaded and killed.

Accepting a trial doesn't necessarily mean death. After all, many of them are forced into this situation, and their cases might be handled on a case-by-case basis.

But if they rushed up now, that fierce-looking guy with the slicked-back hair would definitely not let them off the hook.

Of course, those who knew they would not have a good end had already laid down their weapons and were preparing to quietly slip away.

Then all of these people were cut down by Hozuki Mangetsu.

kindness?

This word has never been used to describe Hozuki Mangetsu.

Even if Hidan hadn't made a move, he would have killed that babbling guy.

"From now on, everyone stay home obediently. Anyone who dares to run away will suffer this fate, do you understand?"

Everyone was so frightened that their faces turned ashen, and no one dared to disobey.

The minor incident ended abruptly before it could cause any real trouble.

"boring!"

Hidan was somewhat unhappy that he hadn't managed to kill two more people.

Shinji didn't say much throughout the whole process; even if he were in charge, he wouldn't have been able to handle it any better.

For some people, only drastic measures can instill fear and make them willing to cooperate and obey.

Otherwise, can we just rely on reasoning?

Do they really think everyone is a child of prophecy?!

Just then, Shuiyue, who had been unconscious, finally opened her dazed eyes and regained consciousness.

"elder brother?"

"That's great, I'm relieved to see you're alright."

Hozuki Mangetsu happily hugged his younger brother, needless to say, it's confirmed, another brother-complex character.

Shuiyue's head was still a little fuzzy, but when he saw a certain 'familiar face' next to him, his eyes widened immediately.

"It's you again, you despicable bastard!"

Shinji calmly accepted the questioning gaze from Hozuki Mangetsu and said, "It's a long story, there's probably some misunderstanding..."
