SWNOVELXO Chapter 122
The faces of the members of the hunting team were not very good. After all, this was a direct placement of people over their heads, even though they were only engaged in frontline hunting work before.
Promotions at the command level might not necessarily be their turn, but they would only have the opportunity occasionally.
However, when they heard that their leaders had chosen the wrong side, they all hoped to come back and get a position. Unfortunately, three positions were taken away by one order. I wonder how many vacancies for squad leaders are left.
Then, Yang Nai announced a piece of news that made them feel even more at a loss, as if it was a prank.
"The duties of our hunting team have been changed. After the two advisors, Qing and I, jointly wrote a petition, the Mizukage-sama also agreed to a certain change.
That is, we will no longer target those ninjas who have fled abroad."
"What!"
After hearing this, some people were confused, while others were shocked and angry.
"What about those rebellious ninjas?"Someone couldn't help but shout out
"Without our deterrence, they will only become more and more unscrupulous."
The arrogant girl sneered;
"You also know that the only role you can play outside over the years is to be a hound that keeps a close eye on their backs and barks wildly. The best you can do is to make the rebel ninjas unable to sleep. How many rebel ninjas have you really brought back?
You don’t have the ability to catch those former Seven Ninja Swordsmen who defected.
Even the defected Jinchūriki, you can’t do anything to him.
He is sleeping on your border, wandering back and forth, but you can only turn a deaf ear to it. Do you know why?
Because those people are the ones who know your methods best.
In fact, those rebel ninjas will soon cease to exist, because~"
Yang No glanced at them and broke an even more heavy news that was destined to set off another bloody storm in the Hidden Mist Village.
"Because the Mizukage has decided to grant amnesty to all those rebellious ninjas."
""What?"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, even Kizuki Kizuki was surprised, wondering where his young captain got the news from.
Well, Yang No was the first person in the entire Kirigakure, no, the entire ninja world to know the news.
Now, even the Mizukage Yagura himself didn't know that he would soon grant amnesty to those rebellious ninjas.
This joke suddenly came to her mind, and then Yang No actually burst out laughing in her seat.
In front of hundreds of pairs of eyes with violent emotional fluctuations, she seemed to be fine.
The girl had seen too many such eyes on the night of the Uchiha Rebellion, but she was on top of Susanoo's head, looking down.
Now, she is sitting on the chair in front of the screen.
Well, her demeanor is still very dignified. Even if she is thinking about something unreliable in her heart, on the surface she has not forgotten her character of a young lady.
"I say." She glanced at everyone and continued speaking in a brisk tone;
"The Mizukage will soon decide to grant amnesty to all the rebellious ninjas without distinction. As long as they can return to the Hidden Mist Village within the deadline, they may be reused according to their personal abilities."
""Is Lord Yagura crazy?"
Someone couldn't help but shout out in anger.
"Are we hunting dogs finally going to be eaten alive?"
"How can we justify our companions who died while being hunted down as rebel ninjas?"
"We can't stand it any longer. This is Mizukage-sama, this is Kirigakure's betrayal to us. We must take action immediately to force Mizukage-sama to take back his decision."
At that moment, a young and vigorous faction jumped out and shouted.
Yang Na rubbed her forehead helplessly. Why are there so many fools who want to kill in Kirigakure? Is it because of the island country? Why not say something else? In front of her, the nominal confidant of Mizukage, they are plotting loudly there. Don't they think the number of heads cut off in the coup that night is not enough?
Thinking of this, Yang Na sighed in her heart again, and started to talk without any pre-casting.
Her voice was very pleasant, directly covering the noisy volume of the crowd, and said to them;
"Everyone, please be quiet. I want to ask you a question.
Over the years, you have sacrificed your lives for the village, fighting bloody battles on the front line with every enemy who betrayed it, even if that enemy was once your companion.
Even if they once believed in justice and fairness like you, and once shed blood for this village.
However, gradually, there are more and more such people.
Such people are proficient in every assassination routine of yours, so they can always escape your pursuit. Such people make you feel powerless, because when you suddenly wake up from a sleepless night one day, you look back and find that your companions are getting fewer and fewer, while the enemies you have to face are increasing day by day.
Every time your palms are stained with blood, every time you assassinate, whether successful or failed, will make your heart full of confusion. The number of traitors you have to deal with may have far exceeded four digits, exceeding the limit that you can deal with even if you gather all your strength.
But you still fight on the front line for the Hidden Mist Village, on the territory of those other countries.
When facing the ninjas from other big villages, you can only swallow your anger and choose to retreat.
In order to carry out the mission, you don't hesitate to let your hands be stained with innocent blood again and again.
In fact, you have long been tired of everything you have done in your heart. All of this is just a mechanical repetition.
The blood sprayed from the necks of your former teammates and companions did not give you any answers.
Because the dead cannot tell you the answer, and cannot tell you why they betrayed you and the village.
As the doubts increase with the killing, you can only think about this answer silently in your heart. You may have been puzzled, or you may have been numb.
Or maybe you are afraid of the truth of the answer, because I know, just as some of you know-once you find the answer to that question, you will become like the targets of your mission and choose to betray.
As your captain, I am not afraid to ask this question in front of all of you.
Have you ever thought about such a question, that is, why did things become like this?"
In the hall, the noisy voices gradually disappeared, and instead, the sound of dripping sobs was heard.
