Chapter 392

Hanzo of the Salamander, who had been silent, spoke his command; for his orders, the Rain ninjas from top to bottom naturally dared not disobey.

Therefore, the girl was simply taken down and kept under watch; she was neither interrogated nor subjected to any harassment.

Instead, she received a dinner that could be considered sumptuous, which counted as a luxury among the resource-scarce Rain ninjas.

Despite eating well, sleeping well, and receiving "high-quality" captive treatment, the girl still couldn't be happy.

On the contrary, her sadness was simply "flowing like a river."

The "experiment" was a success, and the cause the girl had been striving for was successful; this was huge good news.

But soon, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse; not only could she "not go back," but she had also unluckily become the target of the two major forces active in the Land of Rain.

Leading to her eventually becoming a prisoner of the Rain ninjas.

Could there be anything more unlucky than this?

She was practically crying without tears.

But fortunately, the girl possessed an optimistic and unyielding personality, so she did not give up lightly.

She believed that after discovering she "could not go back," her father must have already noticed the abnormality; perhaps there were some problems with the "793" technology—after all, it was just an "experiment," and problems were inevitable—her father must already be thinking of a way.

Perhaps now, "over there," the problem had been ruled out, and she could already use the "technique" to return.

The girl originally wanted to try now, but her hands were bound and her chakra was sealed, which made it impossible for the girl to activate the return technique.

"It seems I can only trick the Rain ninjas into untying my bindings first."

"Then find a way to perform the technique and go back."

She said secretly in her heart.

Just then, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the dark dungeon, stinging the girl’s eyes so she couldn't open them.

"Lord Hanzo wants to see you, get up quickly!"

In a daze, the girl only heard an unceremonious voice reach her ears.

The girl covered her eyes and slowly rose from the corner.

She understood that this was the other side preparing to "interrogate" her.

And judging by this Rain ninja’s words, the one interrogating her was Hanzo of the Salamander himself.

The girl pretended to be well-behaved and obedient, honestly following the Rain ninja’s orders and walking toward the outside of the dungeon.

Seeing the girl so cooperative, the Rain ninja did not make things too difficult for her, but instead led the girl toward the destination.

After passing through strict sentry posts and questioning.

Before long, escorted by two Rain ninjas, the girl arrived at a quiet small courtyard.

By the looks of it, this should be Hanzo of the Salamander’s temporary residence; if anyone had been to Hanzo’s residence in the Rain Village, they would find that everything in this small courtyard was basically a one-to-one match with everything in Hanzo’s residence in the Rain Village.

Following the escort of the two Rain ninjas, one in front and one behind, the girl was sent into the courtyard.

After stepping into the courtyard, the girl glanced calmly at the layout and environment of the courtyard.

In the quiet courtyard, Hanzo of the Salamander, having removed his armor, wore a black kimono and sat kneeling in a room with the screen half-open.

And in this Japanese-style courtyard, besides Hanzo of the Salamander in the room, there were four cold Rain ninjas wearing black rubber-like feather cloaks and carrying sharp blades standing in the courtyard.

These four Rain ninjas were filled with murderous intent, and one could tell at a glance that they were by no means ordinary people.

The war caused the village’s combat power to be constantly consumed, but it also forged a group of top experts through tempering.

With just one glance, the girl could see that the strength of these four people was probably above hers, likely at the level of elite Jonin.

These four Rain ninjas were the top talents of the Rain ninjas forged during this half-year-long war.

A drizzling rain kept falling into the courtyard, and the four Rain ninjas just let the raindrops fall on them without moving, like lifeless robots.

Hollow, cold, ruthless.

From these four elite Rain ninjas, the girl read such information.

These four were likely the kind of Hanzo’s death squads known as "killing tools."

One super-Kage level expert, four elite Jonin—such combat power made the girl, who only had the strength of a Jonin, directly abandon any unrealistic thoughts of escape.

After bringing the girl to the location, the two Rain ninjas responsible for the escort bowed respectfully to Hanzo of the Salamander, then withdrew.

Hanzo of the Salamander slowly stood up and turned his eyes to look at the girl on the opposite side...

The reason he personally interrogated this "Stone ninja spy" was, on one hand, out of curiosity, and on the other, from his contact with the girl yesterday, he judged with his seasoned experience that the girl’s identity was likely not simple.

Is "surrender" a simple matter?

No, surrender often requires great courage, and some ninjas would rather commit suicide than surrender in a desperate situation, precisely because they fear the miserable treatment after surrendering.

In the ninja world, there are plenty of secret techniques for torture and means to pry into memories.

And once a captured ninja loses their value, the outcome is often even more miserable than dying in battle.

Like this girl before him, Hanzo of the Salamander had indeed seen a ninja who surrendered so "justifiably" for the first time.

What does this explain?

It explains that this female ninja is very confident; she has a value that will not be easily "disposed of."

No matter what she is thinking, at least the things at her subconscious level cannot deceive people.

Furthermore, Hanzo of the Salamander, as the leader of the Rain ninjas, is also the initiator of the current chaos in the ninja world.

How could an ordinary ninja face Hanzo of the Salamander calmly?

With Hanzo’s observational skills, he could naturally discover that before he appeared, this female ninja clearly intended to fight to the death.

And after he appeared, the other party immediately gave up resistance.

This shows that the other party knows his identity, and Hanzo clearly remembers that when this female ninja looked at him, her eyes were very calm.

There was absolutely no nervousness that one should have when seeing a "legendary figure."

Such eyes seemed as if she were playing a game and, seeing she couldn't win, decided to surrender to save time.

Similar to: It’s Hanzo of the Salamander, can’t beat him, surrender, surrender.

What does this explain? This explains that this girl perhaps frequently interacts with people of the same or similar status as Hanzo, which is the only way to be immune to the pressure brought by such a superior.

And such calmness made Hanzo of the Salamander conclude that this girl’s identity was definitely not ordinary!
