"Wait, ah, Rokuro!"
"Hurry up and come back, don't act recklessly, ah!"
Seeing Rokuro leaving, the three Chunin who climbed out of the pit hurriedly tried to stop him.
Unfortunately!
It was useless!
Rokuro had summoned his mud bird and was already flying away into the sky.
Seeing this, Nagano Tani hurriedly said to Tojo Shoichi, "Quick, quick, Tojo Family Head, hurry and take your men to the Kurotsuno family's residence, otherwise the matter will truly become a massive trouble!"
Tojo Shoichi finally snapped back to reality and said in astonishment, "You three, is that child really that formidable?!"
Nagano Tani couldn't help but curse, "Nonsense! He is Konoha's Black Demon who recently slaughtered tens of thousands of bandits! What does a mere Kurotsuno family count for? If we arrive late, the Kurotsuno family might be slaughtered to the last man!"
Tojo Shoichi's eyes lit up, and he immediately said to the crowd, "Let's go, grab your weapons and set out immediately!"
Hearing this, the crowd picked up their weapons one after another.
Tojo Shoichi couldn't even wait, leading the samurai to set out immediately.
Nagano Tani followed along feeling very helpless, while simultaneously dispatching one of his companions to quickly find Konoha's intelligence organization to send a message, reporting everything that happened here to Lord Hokage.
The group of people!
The Kurotsuno family.
Just outside a nearby village, they had enclosed a large piece of land to serve as their family grounds.
It was pretty much the exact same situation as the Tojo family.
After spending two hours, the Tojo Family Head and the others hurriedly arrived at the Kurotsuno family's residence outside the village. But what they saw was merely a group of terrified, crying villagers, and the vanished Kurotsuno family main residence—the kind that completely vanished without a trace.
Staring at the missing Kurotsuno home, Tojo Shoichi gulped and said to a subordinate to the side, "Hurry up, grab a couple of people and ask them what exactly happened! Where is the Kurotsuno family?!"
The subordinate hurriedly ran over to find those villagers to ask about the situation.
Very quickly!
The subordinate asked and got it clear!
He ran back, looking terrified at Tojo Shoichi, and said, "Family Head, the Kurotsuno clan is thoroughly finished. Those villagers just now said that an hour and a half ago, this place suddenly turned into a swamp. All the people of the Kurotsuno family, along with the buildings, sank into the ground. Those villagers just came over to look for their relatives who work at the Kurotsuno house."
Tojo Shoichi's eyeballs practically popped out.
He turned his head to look at Nagano Tani, whose face was equally ugly, and asked, "Mr. Nagano, this... that..."
Tojo Shoichi was completely incoherent, not knowing what to say.
Nagano Tani had long guessed that the Kurotsuno family had already sunk underground, because the effects of the ninjutsu were still very obvious; the ground was still somewhat soft and squishy, not having completely recovered yet.
He just hadn't said it earlier.
He also wanted to wait for that subordinate to come back to see what exactly happened.
Now he could confirm that the Kurotsuno family had truly been sunk underground. This made Nagano Tani feel extremely conflicted, because this matter would cause a very bad impact on Konoha Village.
Furthermore, this matter.
Happened right under their noses.
Although they couldn't be blamed for this, after they returned, they would definitely be scolded bloody by Lord Hokage. Just thinking about the consequences made Nagano Tani want to vomit blood.
He was just trying to earn some extra pocket money.
How did he get dragged into this kind of crappy mess?
He truly wanted to cry but lacked tears, ah.
Nagano Tani smiled bitterly for a moment, turned his head to look at Tojo Shoichi, and said, "This... if I say this matter wasn't done by that child, Tojo Family Head, would you believe what I say?!"
Tojo Shoichi repeatedly shook his head and said with a face full of excitement, "I understand, I understand. You guys want to keep it a secret and not let people know about that child's matters, right? Rest assured about this, I guarantee I won't spread it outside. I understand the rules that Konoha's geniuses need to be kept secret!"
Nagano Tani covered his forehead, feeling truly helpless!
They couldn't hide from it!
Them getting a harsh scolding was inescapable!
Regardless of what Nagano Tani was thinking, Tojo Shoichi's enemy had already been eliminated, and right now he felt completely refreshed and clear-headed. He said happily, "Mr. Nagano, you guys can rest assured about this matter. I won't let the little Konoha genius exert his effort for free. Tomorrow I will send 50 million to Konoha Village as a reward!"
Nagano Tani's expression twitched. He cupped his hands to Tojo Shoichi and took his leave:
"Then we must head back to report to Lord Hokage first. Konoha will send people over to handle the aftermath of this matter!"
Tojo Shoichi nodded repeatedly.
"No problem, no problem! I will wait respectfully at home for the arrival of the Konoha Lord Ninjas!"
Nagano Tani sighed and left with his companion, his back looking very melancholy.
And Tojo Shoichi was extremely happy, even waving his hand at them:
"When you two return, you must help me properly thank Lord Black Demon! When I have time in the future, I will personally go to thank Lord Black Demon!"
Hearing this, Nagano Tani felt even more depressed, and the two quickened their pace and ran off.
