Konoha: Start with omniscience and omnipotence

Chapter 89 【089】Weakness and Traitor

"Buzz——"

The moment he heard the sound, Tachibana Sakuta suddenly turned around.

However, as soon as he moved, the inconspicuous sealing technique lines under his feet suddenly burst out like poisonous tongues at his feet, like chains sliding on the two-dimensional plane, firmly imprisoning his body in place.

"Ho ho ho ho."

Not to mention moving a finger, even if you want to bite the poison sac already prepared in your mouth, you can't do it.

Aida Shohui walked up to him slowly and asked in a gentle and polite voice.

Seeing his intact appearance, Tachibana Sakuta's body trembled slightly, and there was a deep trembling in his eyes.

'Aida Masaki. How did he do it?'

'Even if the injury is hidden, at least the chakra consumption should be real?'

'Didn't the plan say that after using that technique, one would be extremely weak?'

'What exactly is this.'

Because even the muscles in his throat were controlled so that he could not move at all, all of Sakuta Tachibana's thoughts could only stay in his head, and he could only watch Aida Shouki strolling closer.

"Tachibana-kun, why do you look like that?"

Aida Masaki said in a gentle tone: "Is there something wrong with my speculation? Or have I wronged you?"

As he spoke, the calm and composed Sakuta took off the wire that activated the hidden weapon trap with his fingertips, took off his poison-containing Konoha vest, and finally stretched out his fingers to open his mouth.

, forcefully pulled out the tongue.

"oh?"

When he saw the pink tongue, Aida Masaki was slightly surprised.

"There is no tongue seal that can eliminate the root of evil. It seems that you are not a person from the root."

"That's right."

"This feature is a bit too conspicuous for the 'dead room'."

While muttering, Aida Masaki's fingers still did not stop, but with Tachibana Sakuta's painful expression, he forcibly pulled off a tooth with his fingers, bringing out some blood.

There is a green poison sac located near the root of the tooth.

Aida Masaki took the tooth in his hand, looked at it, and said with a smile:

"It's terrible."

Tachibana Sakuta's expression was almost distorted, and a hint of fear gradually rose in his eyes as he looked at Aida Masaki.

"Crack."

A light snap of the fingers.

His throat suddenly relaxed a little, and his breathing became a little smoother.

"Hey, I don't understand what you're talking about."

Tachibana Sakuta suppressed the fear with difficulty and whispered: "I owe a debt and was bribed by Kumogakure's people. The total is fifteen million taels. That's all."

"Give me a pleasure."

Hearing this, Xiangtian Jianghui squatted in front of him, tilted his head slightly, met his lowered gaze, and spoke in a gentle tone:

"Tachibana-kun, you are a jounin after all."

"You should know what the saying 'captured ninjas have no secrets' means, right?"

"."

Tachibana Sakuta trembled when he heard the words, but still lowered his head and refused to say more.

However, Aida Masaki was not discouraged, and instead stated: "Tachibana Sakuta, now twenty-one years old. He is a jounin, specializes in hidden weapons, is not good at getting close, and has a cheerful personality. His parents died young and he has no brothers. He has grown up since he was a child.

At the Konoha Orphanage."

"The current address is Building 3, Tsumi Town, Konoha. He lives with his girlfriend Kanda Kyoko and plans to hold a wedding ceremony in July next year."

"The dream is to bring her a stable life."

"Right?"

Hearing this, Tachibana Sakuta suddenly raised his head, his eyes astonished: "When did you investigate me?"

Aida Masaki's smile gradually cooled down and he said calmly:

"Intelligence is the life of a ninja."

"How can I feel completely at ease when I go on an international mission with strangers?"

"What's more, your information has already been placed in someone else's case book. All I need to do is find the right time to get it."

Tachibana Sakuta's expression gradually became embarrassed, as if some secret had been revealed.

"I"

Just when he was about to speak out, Aida Masaki's voice suddenly interrupted him, but his plain tone made people even more convinced:

"Listen, you only get one chance."

"If you don't give me an answer that satisfies me, then let Kanda Kyoko die with you."

"I kill people, I don't need to provide evidence."

"If you kill a loser who barely reaches the chuunin level in the village, no one will notice."

"What I want is revenge, understand?"

The moment he heard Kanda Kyoko's name, Tachibana Sakuta's breath stagnated, and his voice suddenly became a little faster:

"It has nothing to do with her!!"

Aida Masaki's face instantly darkened, his pupils so cold that they seemed to reflect frost, and he spoke word by word:

"What does it have to do with me?"

When gentle and good-natured people turn against each other regardless of everything, their ferocity and malice are far more intimidating than tough-looking gangsters.

Tachibana Sakuta was immediately shocked by the surging murderous intent, and his lips trembled.

Their eyes met, and their eyes were frozen for more than ten seconds. His spirit seemed to have finally collapsed.

He lowered his head seriously and gave up struggling:

"."

"A curse seal was planted on Jingzi's body. Danzo said that as long as I kill you, it will be released."

"When I set up the trap, I left a chakra guidance mark."

"I attracted the people from Kumogakure and Genbe."

"There is no evidence. The curse seal seems to have been planted by insects and should still remain in Jingzi's body."

"That's all I know."

At this point, I heard him begging: "Jingzi really doesn't know anything. Please."

Aida Masaki still stared at him calmly and did not speak for a long time.

It wasn't until a long time later that he slowly stood up.

He turned his head and asked behind him:

"Did you hear that, Minato?"

Tachibana Sakuta was startled when he heard this, and subconsciously raised his eyes.

Then, next to the originally blank campfire, all the people who were supposed to be sleeping stood there silently.

The soft girl who was rescued by Namikaze Minato had an incredible expression on her face and covered her mouth tightly.

Everyone was silent and stood on one side silently.

Everyone was born and raised in Konoha Village, and no one wanted to believe the fact that they were forced to sacrifice themselves in the high-level struggle of Konoha.

"."

"I will inform the Third Generation Jiraiya-sensei later."

Namikaze Minato was silent for a long time, and his voice was a little difficult to speak.

As a Jonin, he has a very clear understanding of the high-level personnel structure of Konoha.

At the same time, he also has enough sense.

As the Third Hokage, will Sarutobi Hiruzen be unable to grasp the root movement situation of dozens of people?

Could he not know about the mobilization of Konoha's border troops?

Is he completely unable to detect the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki's incursions around the Land of Fire?

As early as when he asked these questions to himself, Namikaze Minato already had the answers in his heart.

He just didn't know who to tell.

"laugh."

Hearing this, Tachibana Sakuta, who lowered his head, sneered lightly and mocked in a hoarse voice:

"it's useless."

"Jiraiya-sama, if he could really take care of things, he wouldn't leave Konoha."

"As for the Sandaime"

As he talked to himself, Tachibana Sakuta's emotions seemed to be suppressed to the extreme, and his speaking speed gradually increased.

"If the Sandaime can be relied on, why am I here?"

"Or does it mean that watching others do evil without stopping it, or joining in, is already goodwill from a superior?"

"Bullshit!"

His eyes were red, his voice suddenly rose, and he roared: "They are basically the same group!!"

"The same goes for you, Aida Masaki!"

Tachibana Sakuta had lost his mind, his eyes were bloodshot, and he complained loudly: "Without you, Kyoko would not have been planted with a curse seal! I would not have been sent to die!"

"Why must the life of a genius be more important than others?"

"I want to live too."

By the end of the sentence, he felt as if his bones had been pulled out. He gritted his teeth and lowered his head unwillingly, his eyes so red that they seemed to be bleeding.

It is very difficult for an ordinary ninja like him who has not been trained by the Roots and Interrogation Department to endure the threat of death until now.

Everyone present was silent and said nothing.

Only Aida Masaki, who had personally created this scene, watched quietly from one side, carefully observing everyone's expressions.

This is why Aida Masaki spent so much effort to get Tachibana Sakuta to admit these things personally.

If everyone could barely deceive themselves and others by saying that there was "no evidence" when they encountered the previous scene, then Tachibana Sakuta, who was uncovered naked by Aida Masaki in front of everyone, seemed too explicit.

So much so that they didn't even have any room for self-comfort.

But that's the reality.

If the cruel reality is not put in front of everyone, then everyone will always have an ostrich mentality of muddling along, unwilling to face the truth captured in the subconscious.

After all, ninjas are people too and they all have to live.

But similarly, as long as you are a human being, who doesn’t have a few weaknesses?

Masaki Aida laid it out like this to make everyone clearly feel the powerlessness when their 'weakness' is caught.

Only when they feel powerless will independent people want to join forces - to hold each other together as 'ordinary people'.

This is his ultimate goal.

It wasn't until he took in everyone's reactions that Aida Masaki turned his head again and whispered to Tachibana Sakuta:

"yes."

"Who doesn't want to live?"

"But, do you think Danzo will let Kanda Kyoko go if you do this?"

The moment they heard his voice, not only Tachibana Sakuta, but everyone present felt that their breathing became heavier.

It felt like there was a stone blocking my chest.

It was as if the person unable to face this moment was not Tachibana Sakuta, but themselves.

Human beings are animals that understand empathy.

This feeling of empathy is especially strong among people of the same class.

Aida Masaki's tone became calmer and lighter, and he stated a simple fact:

"After all, you are the traitor who killed everyone."

"Tachibana-kun."

There will be another chapter in a moment.

I feel numb. There are a lot of people in the office happily asking for leave. There are only four people working, and the workload has doubled in an instant. I feel like vomiting. This is a hell of a day, and it’s another day where I want to quit my job.
