Of course, Seto Chihiro felt that perhaps the congressman whom she had never met might have anticipated this day, so she made preparations early on. Therefore, as the congressman's wife and the legitimate heir to the Yukinoshita family, she could have a leisurely chat here.
That’s right, a person’s temperament is definitely not innate. Seto Chihiro is also someone who has seen the daimyo in the Naruto world. If you compare the daimyo with the woman in front of you, you will find that the two are completely incomparable.
"I understand that you want to gain the so-called free will, but can you become a good family heir while gaining free will? You want your mother to be at ease, but you can even deceive her. When the accident happened, instead of calling home, you stayed in the Metropolitan Police Department with your teacher for an entire afternoon..."
Seto Chihiro glanced at Haruno's mother who was talking so much.
The only thing that makes people feel pity now is that the other party is not like some people in Naruto, who have lost their principles as human beings, but is just a controlling mother.
He didn't want to use overly tough measures against ordinary people, so it seemed that he could only adopt a win-win approach to negotiate terms with the Yukinoshita family.
Just as Seto Chihiro put down her teacup and was about to use the excuse of going to the bathroom to create a wooden clone and let him leave with Yangno's mother in a while, the mother seemed to have not forgotten the culprit who put her daughter in danger.
"In fact, I have always known that you and Teacher Jing get along very well. Adolescents do need youth to nourish them... But do you know how scared I was when I saw the car debris falling on the road..."
"Am I not fine now?"
Yang Nai's mother just shook her head alone without giving Yang Nai a chance to speak.
"Officer Sugita has already told me that you are waiting for someone, so you are staying there, right?"
"..."
Faced with her daughter's silence, Haruno's mother glanced at Seto Chihiro. Officer Sugita had actually told her the whole story. If the boy had not had a psychological stress reaction at the time, Haruno would never have faced such a dangerous situation.
"Now that it's over, I don't want to pursue other things. I just hope you can live healthily in this world. You are my precious daughter. If you get hurt, I will become very scary..."
The voice of Yukinoshita Haruno's mother was not sharp, but rather had an almost joking tone.
"By the way, I will also report to the school. It's easy for teachers and students to go out and play privately, but they may encounter dangers... A Gurongi monster appeared in Chiba Prefecture today. If Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka wants to find a school for others, it's better to go somewhere else... After all, who knows when what happened today might happen again."
Yukinoshita Haruno's expression froze for a few seconds, her eyes wandered between her mother and teacher, her mouth slightly opened, but as if she thought of something, she covered her mouth with her hands again, leaving only tears flashing in her eyes, and then she got up and left the room.
Shizuka Hiratsuka hesitated for a few seconds, but finally followed. It didn't matter if she lost her job, she couldn't stay in this city anyway.
"Chihiro, please sit here...Mrs. Yukinoshita, excuse me for a moment..."
In the room, Yang No and Hiratsuka Shizuka left one after another. The teapot was humming on the stove, but no one picked it up.
Seto Chihiro felt that this was a good opportunity. Not only would the two of them be able to get along, but this cousin would need a long time to comfort her student.
However... he felt that the way of negotiation... well, needed to be modified...
......
......
Mrs. Yukinoshita picked up the teacup, feeling relieved that Haruno was once again on her predetermined path.
Personal will is indeed important, but it is insignificant compared to the family. As the eldest daughter of the family, while enjoying the convenience brought by the family, she must also make corresponding contributions to the family.
Just as Mrs. Yukinoshita was thinking this, she suddenly felt a sense of suffocation, just like the body's subconscious reaction when encountering a crisis. She looked up following her sixth sense, only to find that the other person was sitting opposite her.
......
Chapter 11: Contempt from the Head of the Yukinoshita Family
It was clearly summer, but a chill came from the bottom up, and her body instantly stiffened. Mrs. Yukinoshita's breathing began to become rapid, her teeth began to tremble slightly, and the teacup fell from her hands, but was caught by a dark green vine that grew along the way.
In a trance, Mrs. Yukinoshita saw a silver-white figure standing motionless on two towering monsters, mysterious and terrifying.
Am I going to be eaten?
Just like the comics I read in my youth, the monsters in the mountains transformed into human forms and searched for food in villages and towns. Before eating humans, they would remove the physical transformation and chew slowly while the prey looked terrified.
"Buzz!"
The vibration of a cell phone sounded under the table. Although the sound was covered by the boiling teapot, Seto Chihiro still accurately captured the tiny sound. He drank the tea in one gulp and put the cup on the table.
"boom!"
The next second, the door was kicked open. Two bodyguards in black, holding pistols, vigilantly observed everything in the room. When they saw the head of the family with an uncertain expression, they followed his line of sight and cautiously glanced at Seto Chihiro.
After realizing that the kid was just tasting the tea, he frowned slightly, somewhat confused about the situation.
"Master, do you need to monitor the young lady? Or are you feeling unwell?"
Although I saw the young lady crying and complaining to the teacher when I came here just now, but judging from the long-term work tasks and the expression of the head of the family, the latter possibility is obviously more likely.
The bodyguard in black took out a brown cell phone, but before he could press the emergency button, a commanding voice appeared in the room.
"The master of the family feels a little tired. You can leave this room now and let the master have a good rest."
"The master is tired... take a rest..."
Mrs. Yukinoshita stared in horror as the two men walked out of the room and closed the door. Her body began to tremble unconsciously again.
"Actually, you don't have to be afraid. I don't have much ill will towards you."
Seto Chihiro picked up the teapot, recalled the time when she was learning etiquette, and made another cup of tea for Mrs. Yukinoshita.
As for aura, he originally only had a sense of oppression similar to that of chakra, but during the time he was training Naruto, he converted too much Nine-Tails chakra, causing the Nine-Tails' aura to stick to his aura.
"It's just that sometimes, compared with reality, words are still not as good as touching people's hearts."
Watching Mrs. Yukinoshita carefully take the teacup and her frightened expression gradually calm down, Seto Chihiro couldn't help but smile slightly.
The other party took the bait...
Not everyone can inherit the title of family head. A wise family head will not be afraid of unknown things like ordinary people. When facing extraordinary creatures that can talk, as long as they can communicate and do not show overly obvious hostility, it means there is a possibility of cooperation.
Of course, Seto Chihiro's actions did not threaten Lady Yukinoshita too much. He only released a little bit of her aura. He believed that from the illusion just now, the lady had understood what he meant.
"Who...are you?"
After a long silence, Mrs. Yukinoshita sat up straight with a stiff smile on her face.
"Who am I? I'm afraid that rather than who I am, the head of the Yukinoshita family would like to know whether I am still a human, right?"
"..."
The head of the Yukinoshita family stared at Seto Chihiro and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
She actually hoped that the other party was still a human, but could he be a human if he could hypnotize a battle-hardened bodyguard with just one sentence?
The head of the Yukinoshita family had seen ascetics in the ancient temple. Judging from the impression these people left on her, only a fox demon who was good at seduction could do this - hypnotize the people around them without anyone noticing...
No, at least tell my father the news...
The head of the Yukinoshita family now has only one thought, which is to avoid being controlled by the fox demon and destroying the Yukinoshita family's century-old foundation.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry about what happened just now. The Yukinoshita family does not have the power to decide a person's fate. If you want to experience human life, the Yukinoshita family will do their best to help you. I will try my best to meet all your requests."
Seto Chihiro looked into the eyes of the head of the Yukinoshita family: "Everything you ask for?"
The head of the Yukinoshita family froze for a few seconds, then nodded stiffly: "That's right, as long as Yukinoshita can do it, Yukinoshita will definitely do her best."
"Are you afraid of me?"
"That's not true...Please believe it!"
Feeling the other party's panic, Seto Chihiro scratched his hair, looking like he had a headache: "Forget it, whatever you want to think, but you just need to remember that I am a ninja. What I used on those two people just now was just a simple illusion."
"Ninja?" The head of the Yukinoshita family was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly.
Seeing the other party's obvious disbelief, Seto Chihiro was not surprised. Ninjas had become extinct in this world, and the only ones left now were shrine maidens, onmyojis, and some ascetics.
"That's right, I'm just the heir of a fallen ninja family. I hope to reach a cooperation with the Yukinoshita family to help me pay attention to the movements of Gurongi and find someone at the same time."
The head of the Yukinoshita family took a look at the "fox demon". Could it be that the monster's goal was to prey on the monsters from the ruins? Regardless of whether it was to prey on those monsters or not, it would be the best thing to fight with Gurongi and both sides would be injured.
Without waiting for the head of the Yukinoshita family to finish thinking, Seto Chihiro continued: "Of course, I will not let the Yukinoshita family's efforts be in vain. Chiba County is the inheritance place of the Yukinoshita family, and it is also one of the three major metropolitan areas of Tokyo. As a condition of equal exchange, I can help the Yukinoshita family get rid of all the Gurongi that appear."
As soon as he finished speaking, the head of the Yukinoshita family suddenly raised his head, his expression involuntarily becoming serious. Although there was still a hint of fear in his eyes, they were much more resolute than before.
"Do you really have a way to deal with those Gurongi? Any of them is immune to bullets. Can you really get rid of them?"
"Okay, it's just a trivial matter, but..."
"But...?" The head of the Yukinoshita family's heart beat faster involuntarily, fearing that the other party would make a request similar to cannibalism.
Although now that he has calmed down, the head of the Yukinoshita family has re-judged whether the other party is a human being, but one thing is absolutely certain, the guy in front of him who claims to be a ninja is definitely not as simple as the child he looks - he is good at disguise and has a clear purpose.
Knowing that he could use amnesia to disguise himself, she would not believe that this "ninja" would consider Yukinoshita as a partner after just meeting her once. It is very likely that the other party had set his sights on the Yukino family from the beginning, and could even grasp Haruno's personality...
Seto Chihiro watched the patriarch fall silent again, thinking that the patriarch would think that he was making unreasonable demands and would be troubled in his heart, so he said:
"Don't worry, this is not a difficult request. My strength is still too weak, and I don't have the ability to deal with some of the Gurongi. I can only let No. 9 take action to deal with them."
"Number nine?"
"That's right." Seto Chihiro's answer surprised the head of the Yukinoshita family: "Gurongi are a group of creatures. My strength is not strong enough. It is better for No. 9 to deal with the top-level Gurongi. In terms of strength, No. is still stronger than me."
"Is that so?"
The head of the Yukinoshita family nodded, and had a general understanding of the strength of the 'ninja' in front of him.
After all, the Gurongi's whereabouts are difficult to determine, and their bodies are immune to some modern weapons. If it weren't for the fact that Gurongi always appear in densely populated areas, they would be no match for modern humans under fire suppression.
No matter how powerful the upper-level Gurongi are, can they withstand the baptism of modern tanks?
The head of the Yukinoshita family smiled peacefully again, and there was no sign of fear on his face. "In that case, could you please visit the Yukinoshita family tonight?"
Seto Chihiro raised her eyebrows and said, "Shall I stay at your place tonight?"
"That's right. This matter concerns the future development of Chiba County. Although I am the actual ruler of the family, I still need the consent of my husband and other people. It doesn't matter if you can't come. It may take longer to discuss. It would be the best if you can come in person. The effect may be better."
Seto Chihiro thought about it and decided to agree to the other party's request.
Although he didn't know what the head of the Yukinoshita family had been thinking about just now, which gave her such confidence, he definitely felt that the contempt in her eyes at this moment was not wrong...
Whatever the trap is, you won't know until you go there...
"However, I need to stay at my cousin Shizuka Hiratsuka's house tonight. She is my only relative now, and I need to ensure her safety." Seto Chihiro lied. He planned to make good use of the time and set up the Flying Thunder God Seal in Chiba County tonight.
When the head of the Yukinoshita family heard the words "protect my cousin", he couldn't help laughing in his heart. After all, how could a guy who could even scheme against his cousin say such a thing?
"So you're not going tonight?"
"As for the matter to be discussed, let my clone go with you."
"Clone?" The head of the Yukinoshita family was a little unable to understand the true meaning of this word, but she soon knew the meaning of this word.
"Wood escape. Wood clone!"
Under the dull gaze of the head of the Yukinoshita family, a wooden sculpture slowly emerged from behind Seto Chihiro and then revived into his own appearance.
Chapter 12 Negotiation
The head of the Yukinoshita family could no longer tell whether he was in reality or dreaming.
If this was a dream, then it was too real. But if this was reality, then why could a piece of wood grow out of a person's body and this piece of wood could turn into the appearance of a person?
Now the only thing that is certain is that this guy is definitely not human...
Suppressing the shock in his heart, the head of the Yukinoshita family couldn't help but say: "What an amazing skill."
"These are just some trivial techniques." Seto Chihiro patted the clone's shoulder and said slowly: "Master Yukinoshita can regard this clone as me. He has half of my strength, but even so, he can repel some low-level Gurongi."
"Hello, Master Yukinoshita."
The clone's tone was unusually calm, like a mindless imitation. He nodded to the head of the Yukinoshita family and retreated to the corner of the room.
The head of the Yukinoshita family gently opened his folding fan, and his voice was slightly surprised: "Half of your strength? Then does it have any impact on your own strength? If it does, you can come to the Yukinoshita family another day."
This considerate way of speaking, coupled with a gentle yet questioning voice, can easily win the favor of others.
Seto Chihiro was stunned for a moment, then took the initiative to explain: "It doesn't matter. The clone is a part of me, and I can take it back after the cooperation is reached. After using this move, my strength will decrease a lot, but it doesn't matter at all."
Will the strength decrease significantly?
The head of the Yukinoshita family showed a smile behind the folded fan. This was an inhuman being who wanted to make a deal with the Yukinoshita family just because he had some strength. He completely underestimated the hidden strength of the head of the Yukinoshita family...
After figuring everything out, she put down her folding fan and showed an approving look: "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation. The Yukinoshita Family will definitely not let you down."
"I'd like to thank Master Yukinoshita for his understanding again." Seto Chihiro nodded: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation."
The head of the Yukinoshita family once again focused her attention on the clone. Looking at the clone in the corner, she was actually very curious about whether this product that looked like it was made of wood could really communicate. At this moment, the two parties had already reached a cooperation on the surface, and she felt that this was a good opportunity to ask.
"Qianxun-kun, this clone won't go berserk like described in the novel, right?"
