'He knows!'
"I...I didn't sell her, I don't know..."
Things have come to this but he still wanted to quibble.
A cold look flashed in Satoru's eyes, and then he increased his grip strength, Ran's neck made a "click" sound, and it was as if it would break in the next moment.
Ran's eyes rolled, his tongue fell out of his mouth uncontrollably.
Satoru relaxed again, allowing the oxygen to re-enter his body.
Ran who just survived a catastrophe burst into tears and wanted to cough, but his neck was not completely released.
"No, wait! I really don't...I really don't know!"
Hearing this, Satoru's eyes darkened.
He came all the way here while avoiding people, obviously something was going on, but Ran still wanted to continue to deny it.
"I'm giving you one last chance, who you gave Sakura to? If you don't tell me, I'll break your neck right here and right now."
"I will say, I will!"
Aoi, who was staring at him at all times, and Satoru, who was strangling his neck and was about to kill him, Ran could only choose one person.
"I will tell you, please relax your grip a little, I can't talk... cough cough!"
He coughed twice half-truthfully, Satoru still put him on the ground.
"You can't run away."
"Yes, I know, the person who kidnapped Sakura is..."
Before he finished speaking, Ran's body suddenly moved forward!
His speed was very fast, the fatal situation really stimulated, he rushed into the crowd in the blink of an eye, and ran through, even crawling through the crowd thinking about victory.
"Stupid."
He had the residual power left by Satoru on his body, even if he runs to another part of the world, Satoru could still find him.
Satoru followed after him, but he saw many people gathered together on another street, as if they were sighing.
"Isn't this the owner of that hotel?"
"Yeah, it seems to be Ran, he never gets drunk on the street, what's the matter?"
In order to make money, the shopkeepers in this town never indulge in these things themselves easily as they were unwilling to let go of every opportunity to earn money each day, especially for a good old man like Ran.
Satoru pushed through the crowd and walked in.
He saw Ran fell on the ground, his body was in a mess, mud was everywhere, there were some vomit-like things around his mouth and face, and his face was flushed like drunk people.
'Something's wrong…'
But Satoru realized something was wrong.
His lips were dark purple and his chest was not heaving. Satoru couldn't even hear his breathing.
'He died?'
Satoru came to Ran and fiddled with him a few times, his tongue fell out and his eyes were rolled.
"Ah!"
The people who were watching seemed to have been splashed by cold water, and they retreated one after another. Their neat movements were amazing.
They could naturally see that Ran was not drunk, but dead.
In this town, people who get drunk, sometimes even die from overindulgence, and such a scene could be seen every other day, but people like Ran, who had a clean history in the eyes of others and never indulged in such things, died suddenly, which felt very strange to them.
"Get out of the way!"
A few people turned out from nowhere, wearing uniform black uniforms, and carried the Ran's body onto the stretcher. Their movements were merciless, as if they were dealing with the corpse of a wild animal, or as if it was rubbish that clearly damaged the appearance of the city and thus they took it away.
Satoru did not follow, Ran died in such a timely manner, the meaning was self-explanatory.
Maybe he was poisoned a long time ago, or he died on the way of his escape.
No matter what, he died.
Satoru turned his head and looked at Aoi's Palace.
Here, it was like a room full of flowers. People would be confused by the beauty here, but forget that under the abundance of flowers, there might be thorns hidden.
…
"Wake up! Wake up quickly!"
Naruto was awakened by a muffled call and several kicks in the ass.
He opened his eyes dimly, and saw Sasuke lying beside him with the rope still wrapped around his body.
'What's going on here?'
He subconsciously wanted to get up, and just as he straightened half of his body, he fell heavily and his body made a clumsy sound on the tatami.
"You idiot, keep your voice down!"
Sasuke said to Naruto, "We have been kidnapped, let's quickly untie each other's rope."
"Oh, okay."
No matter how confused Naruto was, he would have come to his senses by now.
The two have cultivated a good tacit understanding by their day-to-day battle. They back to back, in a place where they could not see anything, struggled to untie each other's rope one by one.
"Sasuke, how did we get here? Do you remember?" Naruto asked.
"I don't know, I just remember, I really wanted to see flowers."
"Flowers? There were flowers everywhere."
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"
After much effort, Sasuke's rope was finally untied.
Just when Sasuke was about to untie Naruto's rope, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Sasuke quickly let go of Naruto and ran to the door, Naruto also quickly closed his eyes, pretending that he never woke up.
The door was pushed open, and a maid in kimono walked in. Seeing that there was one person missing, she cried out in surprise.
"Ah! He ran away alone!"
The next moment, the back of her neck was severely attacked, and then her eyes went dark, and her body fell to the ground.
Sasuke's heart is about to jump out.
He hurried over to help Naruto untie the rope, the action was already very fast, but for some reason, there was always a sense of foreboding in his mind.
Sasuke vaguely felt that a very powerful presence was approaching.
Naruto also realized something, dodged Sasuke's movements, and said urgently, "You go, I will stay here by myself, run!"
"What are you saying?! Stop joking!"
Sasuke cursed and continued to help untie the rope.
But Naruto's body suddenly stopped, staring blankly at the direction of the door.
He seemed to be bewitched by something, his body was motionless, and even his heartbeat became extremely slow.
Sasuke realized that the dangerous existence was behind him.
He wanted to know who was behind him, after swallowing, Sasuke suddenly turned his head.
But, he seemed to see flowers again.
"Send them to the cave."
A charming female voice sounded.
"Yes." The tall man agreed, then picked them up from left to right, and jumped out of the window.
On the other side, Satoru returned to the hotel, and was surrounded by a bunch of people before he entered the door.
"Did you kill Ran-san?"
"Ran never made enemies with anyone, he died as soon as you came, and someone saw you strangle his neck there. You must be the murderer!"
"Murderer, get out of our town!"
"Get out!"
They came so aggressively that they didn't even let Satoru inside.
"I didn't kill him." He could only defend himself like this, and even he himself felt that he lacked credibility.
Sure enough, those who took the lead said, "Heh! If it wasn't for Konoha's sake, I would have handed you over to the guards long ago!"
'The guards! The ones who carried Ran's body away? They looked like they're the guards of this place, or... were they the scavengers?'
And what Satoru cared most about was another thing in that sentence.
He suddenly grabbed the man's collar and asked with a smile, "I never said I came from Konoha, so how did you know?"
Except for Ran, he never told anyone that he was from Konoha.
So, where did these "just" residents get the news?
