Chapter 785: Rock ninjas will never be servants!

Land of Rain, in a village at an unknown location.

Ever since she realized she could no longer "go back," Kurotsuchi seemed to have completely resigned herself to her fate.

After a period of decadence and depression, she pulled herself together once more.

Her naturally optimistic disposition restored her vitality, and she began to think about how to face everything before her.

Right now, her status had changed from "prisoner of the Rain ninjas" to "little maid of the Great Demon King."

Her situation had transitioned from "miserable" to "tragic."

Kurotsuchi did not want to just accept this fate and spend the rest of her life as a maid for a lecherous and cruel Great Demon King.

She could not accept such a bleak life!

Even if she couldn't go back, she could not just sink into the hands of the Great Demon King!

She had to escape! The further away, the better!!

Kurotsuchi clenched her small fists, swore secretly in her heart, and made a firm decision.

After Mizunuki Ryosuke placed her under house arrest here, he left alone, his destination unknown.

Although this village was filled with sentries and appeared to be guarded very strictly, this was the best chance for escape!

Otherwise, once the Great Demon King returned, she would have absolutely no way to escape!

For the sake of her "escape plan," Kurotsuchi began hiding in the room every day, observing every move of the Mist ninjas guarding the place, looking for a chance to flee.

Through observation, Kurotsuchi discovered that the ones responsible for guarding her were two Mist ninja squads, totaling eight ninjas.

The good news was that these two squads were not elite; they were just ordinary Mist ninja squads.

This meant the combat power of these two squads consisted of two Chunin and six Genin.

A direct confrontation was definitely out of the question.

For one, with Kurotsuchi's current strength, it would likely be difficult to defeat them head-on.

After all, although Kurotsuchi had been trying to break through the seal in her body almost without sleep or rest, the seal had not been completely removed. Now, she could only use half of her chakra to fight, which meant she had barely recovered half of her strength.

Dealing with ordinary, casual Chunin was no longer a problem, but dealing with two ninja squads that coordinated perfectly was beyond her reach.

Not only that, Kurotsuchi had not forgotten that there were more than just these eight Mist ninjas in this village.

Recalling the number of Mist ninjas she encountered along the way when Mizunuki Ryosuke brought her here, Kurotsuchi felt a chill in her heart.

According to her estimation, there were at least nearly a hundred Mist ninjas in this village!

Even in her prime, it would be impossible to fight them all!

Since a frontal assault wouldn't work, she could only use wit, so Kurotsuchi waited silently.

Finally, after two days of waiting and observation, she finally waited for an opportunity.

"Ugh."

"Sorry, Captain, I ate something bad recently and need to go to the latrine."

A Mist ninja Genin responsible for guarding Kurotsuchi reported to his squad leader, a look of urgency on his face.

"You kid, you always drop the ball at critical moments!"

"Don't you see what time it is? This is a mission personally arranged by Lord Mizukage!"

"If you delay Lord Mizukage's affairs, I'll skin you alive!"

The Chunin captain scolded, his tone carrying a hint of frustration at the subordinate's incompetence.

"I... I... I..."

The Genin's face turned pale, and his legs were pressed tightly together, twisted into an 'eight' shape.

Seeing this, a flash of helplessness crossed the Chunin captain's eyes; after all, nature calls, and he couldn't just watch the kid have an accident right in front of him.

"Go quickly!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, the Genin acted as if he had received a golden decree, running wildly toward the latrine with a look of ecstasy; anyone who didn't know better would think he was possessed.

The Genin didn't have time to choose; the closest latrine to him happened to be located within the courtyard of the house.

Without delay, the Genin stepped directly into the courtyard and headed straight for the latrine.

·· ····Seeking flowers··· ····

After a while, the Genin pulled up his pants and walked slowly out of the latrine, clutching his stomach.

After walking out of the latrine, he glanced at the house right in front of him, a look of curiosity in his eyes.

Since arriving here, the Genin had never seen what the person he was guarding actually looked like. ===== CHAPTER 787 =====
