Chapter 743: , actually I am one of your own
Perhaps because of her age, the girl might be lacking in experience and inevitably not very knowledgeable about some things.
But this does not mean the girl is a fool.
Seeing Hanzō of the Salamander narrow his eyes and his tone become unkind, she knew that the other party really had killing intent.
If her answer could not satisfy the other party, then she would likely not end well today.
And the secrets she carried were of great importance; once exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
As for fabricating a reasonable excuse, that was even more difficult.
Because she was basically a "person without household registration," and the things she made up would likely not stand up to verification.
At that time, once the lie was exposed, she would be even less likely to escape disaster.
Fortunately, last night, she was not just sitting there blankly; after a night of thinking, she had come up with a "foolproof plan."
Now, her top priority was to "go back."
So she only needed to be able to secure an opportunity to activate the jutsu formula and let her "go back."
Therefore, what she needed was not to escape from the Rain ninjas' imprisonment and an explanation that would satisfy Hanzō of the Salamander, but to temporarily scare Hanzō of the Salamander and buy time to find an opportunity to "go back."
And the girl was unfamiliar with the place and was also a "793 person without household registration"; with her Jonin strength, how could she scare Hanzō of the Salamander, who was the leader of the Rain ninjas and possessed super-Kage strength?
Undoubtedly, whether in terms of strength or influence, the girl could only be crushed when facing Hanzō of the Salamander.
But in one aspect, the girl had an advantage that Hanzō of the Salamander could not compare to—information.
Just like Mizunuki Ryosuke, the reason he could be far-sighted and plot the situation of the Ninja World from behind the scenes was not his own strength, but information.
In a situation where the information held by both sides is unequal,
many pieces of intelligence that were considered "top secret" back then are merely fodder for people's after-dinner conversation years later.
And at this moment, in terms of strength, although the girl was at an absolute disadvantage.
But in terms of information and intelligence, the girl possessed an almost crushing advantage.
At this moment, Hanzō of the Salamander knew nothing about her.
And she knew Hanzō of the Salamander almost like the back of her hand, and she even knew many secret intelligence and war trends regarding this war between the Rain ninjas and Konoha.
What Hanzō of the Salamander knew, she basically knew.
And what Hanzō of the Salamander didn't know, she also knew.
With the help of the gap in information, the girl quickly thought of a way and a statement that could make Hanzō of the Salamander feel wary and successfully delay time.
And her method was also very simple to say, which was "borrowing power."
Thinking of this, a sharp glint burst out in the girl's eyes.
She couldn't scare Hanzō of the Salamander, but that didn't mean others couldn't.
And what she had to do was to "borrow" that person's name to "use for a bit."
Because as far as she knew, at this time node, Hanzō of the Salamander should have already been influenced by "that person."
Immediately, the girl forcibly calmed her heart and then spoke unhurriedly.
"Lord Demigod, actually I am 'one of your own'."
The girl said to Hanzō of the Salamander with sincere eyes, the shining Iwagakure forehead protector on her forehead seeming to insult Hanzō of the Salamander's intelligence.
Immediately, Hanzō of the Salamander was stunned, then his eyes turned cold, and the look he cast at the girl on the opposite side was like looking at a dead person.
"One of your own"? He didn't remember ever having "one of his own" among the Iwagakure ninjas.
Was this woman treating him like a fool?
A trace of thin anger flashed in Hanzō of the Salamander's heart, and a cold chill spread from his sturdy body.
"Don't be in a hurry to get angry, listen to my explanation!"
The girl hurriedly added an explanation, fearing that if she spoke too slowly, she would be directly split by Hanzō of the Salamander's Iaijutsu.
"Actually, my name is 'Mizunuki Haruko', and I am one of 'that lord's' people!"
"So we are one of our own!!!"
The girl explained at a rapid speed, and her words made Hanzō of the Salamander's (cede) expression directly freeze; the original anger in his heart also dissipated without a trace, replaced by shock and being caught off guard.
