The woman looked surprised for a moment, but then her expression changed, as if she were assessing something within Aoki. Despite being on the brink of danger, the boy in front of her showed no sign of fear—only an unusual calmness, which was remarkable even for a ninja.
"Of course, I will kill you." The woman spoke in a cold tone, her eyes radiating a cruel determination. She brought the gleaming kunai in her hand closer to Aoki's neck, just beneath his skin, as if testing the young man's courage. "I will create a disturbance and divert their attention to you. That's when I will escape without hindrance. I thought you were smart, but I was wrong."
Aoki looked at the woman, a relaxed smile spreading across his face despite the precarious position. "Do you really want to take that path? If so, go ahead. Kill me. But remember, one day you will regret it. Your clan will be driven out, you will destroy each other, until you are ultimately annihilated."
The woman's expression shifted slightly. Confusion crept across her face, though her gaze remained vigilant. "What do you mean?" she asked, slowly pulling the kunai away from Aoki's neck, her eyes narrowing suspiciously.
"You will find out later. Go ahead... kill me, if you don't care about your clan's future. But if you care even a little about their fate, perhaps you will reconsider," Aoki replied calmly, a small smile lifting the corners of his lips.
The woman fell silent, Aoki's vague threat swirling in her mind. The atmosphere around them grew quieter, as if the night wind held its breath, sensing the tension hanging in the air. The woman stared at Aoki sharply, trying to find a lie in his calm expression.
"Why should I trust you?" the woman murmured, her gaze unwavering.
Aoki merely shrugged, as if indifferent to the tension surrounding them. "You don't have to trust anyone, including me. However, if you truly want to know the fate that awaits your clan... don't kill me. If not, go ahead. Kill me and see what happens to them."
The woman fell silent again, Aoki's words echoing in her mind. She was not someone who easily believed, especially in baseless threats. However, a hint of curiosity and fear began to creep into her thoughts.
"Why will my clan be driven out... then destroyed?" Her voice was calmer now, with a slight tremor.
Aoki looked at the woman, then with a mysterious smile, replied, "If you really want to know... become my subordinate first." Aoki's words resonated in the stillness of the night, as if piercing the depths of the woman's heart. The atmosphere around them, which had been hot and tense, now shifted to a quieter and colder one, as if the night air was contemplating every sentence exchanged between them.
"Don't joke with me, kid! If you really want to seek death, I won't hesitate to give you a quick death," said the woman from the Chinoike clan in a cold tone, her sharp gaze and murderous intent radiating like a dark aura around her.
Aoki merely grinned, looking back without a hint of fear. "Joke? I'm very serious... especially when it concerns something you care about," Aoki replied, his playful smile contrasting with the firmness of his gaze.
"Is that so?" The woman narrowed her eyes, bitterness filling her voice.
