🕑 Added 2024-11-18 12:34:56 +0000 UTCThe woman stopped, her eyes widening for a moment as she realized that Aoki was not an easy opponent. However, she still held her knife to Aoki's throat, unwilling to show weakness. But Aoki could sense the hesitation within her, even though she tried to maintain her cold demeanor.
Aoki took a deep breath, and for a moment, the atmosphere became silent. Only their breathing could be heard, and the tension in the air was palpable.
"Even if you manage to escape the black market, what will you do then? They will continue to hunt you down," Aoki said in a voice as cold as ice piercing through bone.
Aoki's gaze was unwavering, as sharp as a sword ready to strike. "If you have attacked their business, you know it's not just a minor infraction. They won't hesitate to use their entire network to track you down. So what? What can you do against them?"
A heavy silence filled the room, until only the sound of held breaths could be heard.
Without warning, Aoki released his killing intent. The aura was not just fear; it was as if death itself swept through the room. The Natural Energy that Aoki channeled into his killing intent made the air feel heavy, as if bound by invisible chains. The walls of the room trembled as if sensing the hidden rage of that energy.
However, from the outside, everything appeared normal—calm, peaceful. The seal that Aoki had placed earlier enveloped the room, separating it from the outside world. No one could feel what was happening inside, no matter how intense it was.
"Listen," Aoki continued, his voice sharper, piercing through the pressure that filled the room. "I'm saying this not because I care about you, but because I don't want you to die in vain. That's all." Aoki shrugged casually, as if what had just happened was merely a small game.
The woman from the Senju Clan, standing before him, gritted her teeth. Her gaze was filled with determination, and although the pressure from Aoki's killing intent gnawed at her strength, she did not waver.
"Even so, I will still do it," the woman said firmly, her eyes locked onto Aoki's. "Just tell me where they are."
Aoki sighed deeply. "Huh, you are really stubborn. Why do you care so much about... corpses?" Aoki said casually, as if his words held no real meaning. "Besides, they are already dead. Isn't that clear enough? It's been a long time since only Tsunade Senju was left. The corpses of the Senju Clan members are nothing more than relics that are no longer relevant."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" The woman's voice exploded. Her eyes blazed like fire, filled with anger. "They are my family! We were born from the same clan! And you dare to say they are just corpses?! Don't you have any respect?!"
Aoki was not disturbed in the slightest by her outburst of emotion. On the contrary, Aoki looked at her calmly, his lips curling into a thin smile full of meaning.
"Then, what do you want?" Kurisu suddenly asked, breaking the tension. Her voice was calm, but her tone was firm, forcing Aoki to look in her direction. "What do you want in exchange for that information?"
Aoki chuckled softly. "Oh, look at this." Aoki glanced at Kurisu with sparkling eyes, like a child who had found a new toy. "Now this is a professional. Unlike that woman," Aoki said, pointing at the Senju Clan woman with his chin. "She can only scream and threaten."
The Senju Clan woman clenched her fists, but before she could step forward, Kurisu raised her hand, stopping her. "Aoki," Kurisu said in a commanding tone. "Enough with your games. What are your terms?"
