Chapter 393: , a girl full of secrets

Thinking of these things, Hanzo of the Salamander’s heart became increasingly curious.

He looked at the Stone ninja girl on the opposite side with a probing gaze, and in his heart, he wanted to test this female Stone ninja.

There was once a saying like this.

When bandits kidnapped "hostages" up the mountain, in order to maximize the value of the "hostages," they would use a special method to distinguish the family background of these hostages, so as to identify who was a child of a wealthy family and who was a child of a poor family.

And the method the bandits used was also very simple.

They would starve the newly kidnapped "hostage" for three days.

Then they would prepare a fish for them to eat; if the "hostage" went straight for the belly, tail, and other meaty parts of the fish, it could be determined that this was undoubtedly a child of a poor family.

If the "hostage" went straight for the fish face, fish eyes, or fish fins with their chopsticks, this was undoubtedly a child of a wealthy family.

The method Hanzo of the Salamander was about to use had the same effect as the "bandits'" method.

Whenever a person enters a predicament, it is inevitable that they will unconsciously feel pressure.

There are many reasons why people feel pressure, and a required course for a person in power is to know how to use their power and majesty to create pressure for subordinates and enemies.

And Hanzo of the Salamander was also a master of this, and as the leader of the Rain ninjas, using his own aura to suppress others was something Hanzo of the Salamander was extremely good at.

Not only that, Hanzo not only possessed the strength of a super-Kage level at the pinnacle of the ninja world, but because he was proficient in the way of Iaijutsu, Hanzo of the Salamander also had a unique sharp aura in his momentum.

Facing the aura suppression fully unleashed by Hanzo of the Salamander, a ninja with insufficient ability and psychological quality would likely collapse on the spot.

In the original work, the fledgling Naruto and Sasuke were also scared to the point of being unable to move under Zabuza Momochi’s murderous intent.

To resist murderous intent, one only needs to fight more and see more blood.

And to resist the aura of a superior, there are two direct methods.

Either you are a superior yourself.

Or you frequently deal with superiors and are already accustomed to this kind of suppression.

Next, Hanzo prepared to use his aura to suppress and intimidate the female Stone ninja before him, so as to identify the girl’s status level.

Thus, Hanzo of the Salamander did not say a word, and a powerful, sharp aura suddenly rose from his body, pressing straight toward Kurotsuchi.

This superior’s aura, carrying a sharp breath, had already appeared, and even the four Rain ninjas in the courtyard, who were like sculptures, had their breathing slow down for an instant.

"Drip, drip."

Raindrops kept falling from the gloomy sky, drifting into this exquisitely furnished small courtyard.

Silence, a long, wordless silence.

It was precisely under this silence that the suppressive power on Hanzo’s body became increasingly terrifying and powerful.

Hanzo, who was sitting kneeling, and the four elite Rain ninjas, who were like sculptures, did not move or say a word.

"Aura"—this thing is mysterious and profound.

It is invisible, intangible, yet it truly exists and is difficult to describe.

If one had to explain it, the strength of an "aura" is related to factors such as status, personal strength, mindset, willpower, and so on.

Compared to Hanzo of the Salamander, who intended to "test" the girl’s background first, the girl’s thoughts were much more straightforward.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do; panic and worry cannot solve any problems.

And under Hanzo of the Salamander’s aura, the girl appeared indifferent.

She glanced with a strange look at Hanzo of the Salamander, who was sitting kneeling in the room without speaking or moving.

"What’s wrong with this guy?"

"Bringing me here should be because he wants to get information out of me."

"But why isn't he talking?"

Although Hanzo of the Salamander was strong, very strong, the girl still had no awe for Hanzo of the Salamander in her heart.

Because once you have seen the abyss 20,000 meters under the sea, you will likely feel indifferent to the depth of any inland lake.

Compared to that man, Hanzo of the Salamander was still more than a notch behind.

In her "original place," the girl herself had a high status and was quite resistant to this kind of aura.

Adding the two together made the girl very unimpressed by Hanzo of the Salamander’s suppression.

Their gazes met briefly for a moment, and then the girl shrank her neck.

This was not because she was affected by Hanzo of the Salamander’s aura, but because a cold raindrop drifted into the girl’s collar, which made her shiver suddenly.

A strange look flashed in the girl’s eyes, and she thought to herself that the weather in the Land of Rain was really annoying.

"Forget it, since he won't talk, I'll just go over."

"It’s better than standing here in the rain."

Immediately, the girl covered the top of her head with a small, fair hand, ran into the room where Hanzo of the Salamander was kneeling, and then naturally chose to sit cross-legged opposite Hanzo of the Salamander.

And this posture also made the corners of Hanzo of the Salamander’s eyes twitch constantly.

Not only that, even the other four Rain ninjas were shocked; in front of the "demigod," this female Stone ninja was actually so presumptuous?

In their surprise, they even stood frozen on the spot, just watching as the girl ran to the opposite side of Hanzo of the Salamander.

Looking at the girl before him who was so unceremonious and struck such a composed posture, Hanzo of the Salamander felt complicated.

Could it be that his aura was malfunctioning?

Even if this girl’s identity was not simple, it shouldn't be that she had no reaction to his aura at all.

To date, Hanzo of the Salamander had only seen one person who had no reaction to his aura.

Thinking of that unfathomable man, Hanzo of the Salamander felt a faint chill in his heart.

Hanzo of the Salamander turned his eyes to look at the other side, at the elite Rain ninja standing in the courtyard.

With just one glance, relying on Hanzo of the Salamander’s keen hearing, he clearly heard this Rain ninja’s heartbeat skip a beat.

And this shows that his aura and suppressive power were not malfunctioning, even the Rain ninjas around him every day would be affected.

This was the first time he had encountered a situation like the girl’s.

Even Hanzo of the Salamander did not know whether this female Stone ninja was missing a screw or was truly born with strong psychological defenses.

Immediately, Hanzo of the Salamander shook his head secretly, thinking to himself that it seemed he had done something unnecessary.

Since one plan failed, Hanzo of the Salamander couldn't be bothered to continue making useless probes; since no results could be tested, it was better to just ask directly.

Before that, Hanzo of the Salamander pointed a finger lightly at the girl, and the technique known as "Iaijutsu" was used by him.

A sharp aura flashed and vanished, and the bindings on the girl’s arms were directly cut off.

Being able to launch such a subtle Iaijutsu showed that Hanzo of the Salamander’s control over his own power had long since reached the point of perfection.

Seeing this, a flash of surprise appeared on the girl’s face, but she was not afraid at all.

Instead, she calmly moved her wrists, which were a bit stiff from being bound for a long time.

"Speak, who are you?"

"I don't think you can afford the price of lying."

"So you had better tell the truth."

Hanzo of the Salamander narrowed his eyes; although the probe failed, relying on the qualities displayed by this female Stone ninja, Hanzo of the Salamander judged that the other party was definitely a "big fish."

If the answer given by this female Stone ninja did not meet his expectations, then in the world of ninjas, there has never been any talk of "cherishing the fair and pitying the jade."
