When Zephyr returned to the camp, he happened to see Xianglin's mother holding up a kunai.
From her eyes, you can clearly see some emotions of panic and anger.
But in her current state, she couldn't harm an ANBU ninja like Nanaba.
"We are not bad people, we are ninjas of Konoha, and we rescued you."
Qiye raised his hands and opened his palms to show the other party that he had no ill intentions.
"Of course I know you are Konoha ninjas, and I will never forgive you!"
"Forgive us?" Qiye frowned and didn't understand why Xianglin's mother had such an idea.
If they hadn't come to rescue her, she would definitely have died in the Country of Grass.
It would be fine if she didn't thank Konoha, but instead spoke harshly.
"You guys, don't you think those trash are your companions?" Qiye replied coldly.
She did hear anecdotes about people falling in love with each other after being tortured.
"Had it not been for Konoha's betrayal, our country of Whirlpool would not have perished."
"Anyway, you brought us out from the Country of Grass because you took a fancy to our abilities."
Xianglin's mother didn't care about the life or death of those grass ninjas.
Helping them treat the wounded was just to keep their daughter Xianglin alive.
But in her heart, she always hated Konoha.
Since the time of the First Hokage, Konoha has formed an alliance and marriage with the Country of Uzumaki.
The first Hokage's wife is the princess of the Country of Whirlpool.
"At that time, the first Hokage-sama made an oath that he would be on good terms with the Country of Whirlpool for generations to come."
"But when other ninja villages invaded our country of Uzumaki, where were you in Konoha?"
"Where were you when we asked you for help?"
"Where were you when the entire Kingdom of Whirlpool was destroyed?"
Although Xianglin's mother kept shaking her hands, she showed a strong side in front of Qiye.
After all, even though the Grass Ninja Village tortured her for a long time, Konoha was still a villain in her perception.
After these words were blurted out, Qiye froze on the spot.
She never dreamed that Xianglin's mother would know about the demise of the Whirlpool Kingdom.
And he hated Konoha because of this incident.
"I didn't expect Xianglin's mother to know about this..."
Zefeng, who happened to be back at the camp, heard it clearly.
In the impression, Kushina was brought to Konoha because of the demise of the Uzumaki Kingdom.
And Uzumaki Mito was still alive at that time.
Regarding this matter, Hefeng actually felt strange in his heart.
The Kingdom of Whirlpool is geographically adjacent to the Kingdom of Fire.
If you start from Konoha Village, you can reach the Country of Whirlpool in a day or two at most.
And that period should be shortly after the end of the Second Ninja War.
It was the Sannin of Konoha who made their name famous.
It was also the time when the Third Hokage pushed Konoha to its heyday.
But that's under that premise.
Konoha allowed the country of Uzumaki to perish.
And got Uzumaki Kushina and Ghoul Seal.
"Although I really don't want to look at the demise of the Whirlpool Kingdom with conspiracy theories, but..."
Ever since the Third Hokage came to power.
The Thousand Hands clan inexplicably withdrew from the stage of history.
The Kingdom of Whirlpool was brutally destroyed.
The Hyuga clan was suppressed.
The Uchiha clan was wiped out.
There are so many connections among them that it is hard not to think of conspiracy theories.
"We in Konoha also have our own troubles in Konoha."
But no matter what, Xianglin, mother and daughter, play a key role in her next plan.
"Konoha was in danger at that time, so we couldn't help in time."
"And we have been collecting intelligence over the years to find out the whereabouts of the survivors of the Uzumaki clan."
"After learning about your situation, we rushed to the Grass Ninja Village and rescued you two."
Hefeng took three steps and two steps at a time, walked in front of Xianglin's mother, and made a gesture at the same time to ask Qiye to retreat.
"However, I don't expect you to be grateful to Konoha."
"Let's talk about something practical."
"As long as you and Xiang Rin agree to join Konoha, we will provide you with shelter."
"Keeping you safe."
"You will not be treated as medical tools, nor will anyone deprive you of your dignity as human beings."
"Your daughter can have her own princess room and play in the sun."
"If she wants to become a ninja, we'll get her enrolled."
"In addition, we will also provide you with living expenses and financial subsidies every month."
As long as people have things they value, they will have weaknesses.
And Xianglin's existence is her biggest weakness.
"Actually, you know it very well, right?"
"Those rubbish from the Country of Grass don't regard you as companions at all."
"Once you die, they will force Xianglin to become the next medical tool, and maybe force her to marry someone else to give birth to more medical tools for the village."
"As a mother, do you want Xianglin to live such a life?"
"No, that can no longer be called life, because people who live in that way cannot be considered human beings at all."
Just as Zephyr expected.
When he told these things, Xianglin's mother's psychological defense was completely defeated.
The trembling hands could no longer hold the kunai.
Snap!
With a crisp impact, the kunai fell to the ground.
"But you must feel strange in your heart, since we are not interested in your abilities, then why do we provide those guarantees."
"Just to repay the debt of the year?"
"Of course not."
"Our condition is that we hope that your daughter will be the Jinchuriki of Konoha, just like Uzumaki Mito-sama back then."
Kaoru's mother is different from Kushina, she knows more truth than the latter.
Hefeng speculated that Xianglin's mother was taken away by her mother when she left the Country of Whirlpool.
It was due to the influence of my mother that I developed such hatred.
This also means that Kaoru's mother knows about Mito and the Jinchuuriki.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
When she heard the word Jinchuuriki, her expression became tense again.
"What did you say?!"
"Let Kaoru be the jinchūriki?!"
Ze Feng nodded, "Although I have ten thousand ways to accomplish this, I still chose the method of trading with you."
"Not so much a deal, of course, but I can guarantee it."
"No one in Konoha will reject Kaoru just because she is a Jinchuuriki."
"This matter will be kept top secret and will not be known to anyone."
"She not only gets to have a happy childhood."
"You can also get our protection and stay happy as a human being."
"This is the condition I offer."
Hefeng sat cross-legged on the ground and handed the choice to Xianglin's mother.
Humans are like pigeons.
If one flies to the right, all the others will fly to the right.
It doesn’t matter if it’s this guy or that guy.
They only focus on their own interests.
And nothing in this world can move her interests more than Xianglin's happiness.
"Jinchūriki..."
In fact, Xianglin's mother knew it very well.
Mito Uzumaki lived his life happily as a jinchuriki.
And she knew it in her heart.
How miserable life would be as a medical tool.
She didn't want to see any teeth on Xianglin's body.
I don't even want to see Xianglin become a fertility tool for a ninja village.
Becoming a Jinchuuriki means you can at least maintain your dignity as a human being.
"But why should I believe what you say?"
Xianglin's mother gritted her teeth and finally asked Hefeng.
One more reason.
As long as there is another reason, a reason to believe in him.
Just promise him!

I haven't had a good rest recently. My mind was confused and I wrote the wrong chapter name. But it doesn't matter. Today is the sixth update...
