Chapter 391: , what's the point of fighting? I surrender, I surrender

Compared to the girl who was unfamiliar with the place, the Rain ninjas undoubtedly knew the terrain of the Land of Rain like the back of their hands.

Facing the girl’s blind panic, the Rain ninjas were happy to see it, even finding it amusing, and simply played along.

Thus, like a lamb driven by a shepherd in a sheepfold, the girl was driven by the Rain ninjas into a dead end with nowhere to retreat.

Not only that, the most fatal part was that the gathering Rain ninjas grew more and more numerous, increasing from dozens to nearly a hundred or more.

With such numbers, even an elite Jonin would likely have to drink the cup of hatred on the spot under human-wave tactics.

Densely packed Rain ninjas surrounded the girl in a small mountain hollow.

For a time, traces of Rain ninjas were everywhere—southeast, northwest, front, back, left, and right.

It was not that the girl had not fought back, but her counterattacks seemed so powerless compared to the dense mass of Rain ninjas.

Although the girl was not old, she did possess the strength of a Jonin.

If, at the very beginning, the girl had not chosen to run blindly but had instead fought back, there might have been a chance of survival.

But now, facing the seemingly endless Rain ninjas, one could only say that even the gods could not save her.

The Rain ninja side was not in a hurry either, constantly tightening the encirclement bit by bit, using the safest and most foolproof method to trap the girl tightly in the hollow.

"Unable to escape even with wings"—using this phrase to describe the poor girl was simply the most appropriate.

Finally, the encirclement tightened bit by bit, and a dozen Rain ninjas appeared within dozens of meters of the girl, forming a circular perimeter.

The girl did not act rashly, because behind that perimeter, there were seven or eight similar ones.

Hesitation leads to defeat!

The girl gritted her teeth, intending to fight to the death! To secure a glimmer of survival.

But just as the girl intended to fight to the death, a figure that appeared before her with slow steps completely dispelled her thoughts of resistance.

The girl still has that scene filled with despair engraved in her mind; the past scene seems as if it were right before her eyes.

The dense mass of Rain ninjas slowly dispersed, all of them welcoming the arrival of this man with a posture of respect bordering on servility.

The dark green hair, the iconic respirator, and a flying sickle carried on his shoulder already explained this man’s identity.

The leader of the Rain ninjas, or rather, the current "demigod of the ninja world"—Hanzo of the Salamander.

A person’s name is like the shadow of a tree.

The girl’s understanding of Hanzo of the Salamander far exceeded that of an ordinary person; she even knew something else.

Strictly speaking, the current Hanzo of the Salamander was still in a "low tide" period; it was only after "that incident" that Hanzo of the Salamander truly reached his peak.

And it was only after that that everyone in the ninja world understood just how terrifying this hero of the Rain ninjas, who rose from the grassroots, truly was.

At the same time, the clever girl also understood why the Rain ninjas were not in a hurry to act, and why they would mobilize so many people to hunt down a single "Stone ninja spy" like her.

Because it was very likely that these Rain ninjas were not here to catch her, but to "watch the show."

Is there a possibility that it wasn't that the Rain ninjas valued her, this "Stone ninja spy," so much?

But rather that, in her own blind panic, she had run into the Rain ninjas' lair?

The appearance of Hanzo of the Salamander was the best explanation.

Otherwise, the dignified demigod of the ninja world would never have taken action for a mere "Stone ninja spy" like her.

It was just that she had delivered herself into the tiger's mouth, and they were just cleaning her up while they were at it.

How could she still fight this? Better to just be straightforward and surrender.

And so, the moment she saw Hanzo of the Salamander, the girl did not hesitate at all, directly raising her hands high and shouting toward Hanzo of the Salamander.

"Don't do it, I surrender!"

Her straightforwardness also made Hanzo of the Salamander feel quite surprised.

Because he had never seen a ninja with such poor fighting spirit who surrendered so "justifiably."

Not to mention, it was a Stone ninja, who were always known for their tenacious fighting spirit.

"Could this be a 'fake Stone ninja'?"

Hanzo of the Salamander frowned.

That’s right, in Hanzo of the Salamander’s view, the girl’s surrender seemed to carry a hint of being "justifiable."

Hanzo of the Salamander’s gaze was somewhat strange.

In fact, just as the girl thought, the reason Hanzo of the Salamander came in person was simply out of curiosity.

Because he couldn't understand how there could be such a "stupid" ninja in the world who would run all the way into the enemy's lair.

He had indeed seen a ninja who walked right into a trap and surrendered so justifiably for the first time.

Little did he know, the girl was indeed a Stone ninja, but not the Stone ninja Hanzo of the Salamander imagined.

Seeing this, since the goal had been achieved, Hanzo of the Salamander couldn't be bothered to waste more effort; he gave a look to a Rain ninja beside him.

Immediately, this Rain ninja stepped forward, unceremoniously binding the girl’s hands and simultaneously applying a sealing technique to her.

With her hands bound, it meant the girl’s means of performing ninjutsu were sealed. [752] And the sealing technique meant the girl could not use her chakra, and her physical strength and agility were all significantly reduced.

As for the sealing technique, it rendered the young lady unable to use her chakra, while her physical strength, agility, and other attributes were all significantly reduced.

In other words, the girl had become an ordinary person at this moment.

And regarding the Rain ninjas' binding and sealing, the girl appeared exceptionally well-behaved, without a single bit of resistance during the process.

Seeing this, Hanzo of the Salamander’s expression became even more strange; he was also seeing such a "cooperative" captive for the first time.

Perhaps because of the girl’s cooperative attitude, for some reason, a trace of compassion flashed in Hanzo of the Salamander’s heart.

Hanzo of the Salamander certainly knew what kind of miserable treatment captured ninjas generally suffered, not to mention a female ninja.

"Take her down, keep a close watch."
