Night Light held the Kunai upside down and stabbed it into Mi Yi's head from top to bottom.
Since he couldn't bring himself to kill Qiao Yi, he had to bring himself to kill her younger sister.
In fact, Night Light had ample opportunity to prevent Qiao Yi from being severely injured by her sister.
But he did nothing, just waited.
Only at the last moment, when her sister was about to kill her, did he rush out and stop the murder.
If he had rashly killed Qiao Yi's sister, Qiao Yi would have hated him instead.
Blood flowed from Mi Yi's forehead, ears, and neck.
Qiao Yi had wanted to raise her hand to stop him, but Night Light didn't give her a chance to intervene.
Her abdomen and throat throbbed with sharp pain.
Thinking of how her sister had just desperately tried to kill her, Qiao Yi suddenly felt that her sister was so unfamiliar.
She had long forgotten what her sister was like.
The little child with two bouncing pigtails who used to follow behind her when they were young had died deep in her memories.
Perhaps the sacrifices she had made for her sister these past few years were only for the sister in her imagination.
The Spy's rewards and bonuses were given directly to her sister, making her sister think that everything was as it should be.
Mi Yi's corpse fell, and Night Light pulled out the Kunai, brain matter flowing from the crack in her skull.
This way, even the Yamanaka Clan wouldn't get any information, and he could write the Spy investigation report however he wanted.
Mi Yi's Iwagakure features were even more obvious, making it easy to fool others.
Night Light turned and laid Qiao Yi down, whispering:
"It's over, Qiao Yi, it's all over.
You have been abandoned by Iwagakure, and Ōnoki has attributed one of the reasons for their failure to the incorrect intelligence from you Spies.
Ōnoki is not a magnanimous hero; instead, due to his dwarfism, he is somewhat paranoid and will not change any of his decisions or admit any mistakes.
Forget Iwagakure, forget your sister, and continue to stay in Konoha.
I have connections higher up who can help cover for you for a while."
If he really couldn't cover it up... Night Light thought to himself, if he couldn't cover it up, then to protect himself, he would only be able to kill her beforehand.
The cruelty of the Ninja was concretized at this moment.
No matter how much Night Light liked Qiao Yi, if he had to choose between himself and Qiao Yi, he would only choose himself.
Night Light tore open the clothes on Qiao Yi's abdomen, revealing the wound, and while treating it, he said:
"Tomorrow at noon, you must open your shop for business, as if nothing happened.
Endure the pain in your abdomen, no matter how much it hurts.
The wound on your neck is simple; just wear a collar to cover it.
Hmm... yes, wear a collar, it's very alluring, I like it."
Qiao Yi lay on the ground, weeping incessantly.
Weeping for herself, weeping for her sister, weeping for her useless sacrifices, weeping for her sister's cruel attempt to kill her.
And weeping for the Iwagakure Spies who died around her.
Everyone's death, in the face of the Village's hatred, became worthless.
The one who ultimately saved her was an unfamiliar person from Konoha Village.
"What's your name?"
"What's my name?" Night Light recalled as he applied the medicine: "What did I tell you my name was last time?"
"Mi Qu."
"Then I'm Mi Qu."
Qiao Yi knew that Night Light wouldn't tell her the truth and didn't press the issue.
Who told her she was a Spy? She was already content that someone in Konoha could protect her and let her live.
Qiao Yi looked blankly at the night sky through the gaps in the tree canopy and said, "Tell me, why must there be mutual slaughter, why must there be war, why must there be enemy Villages, why must there be so much death?"
Night Light said:
"In the Ninja World where strength is respected, everyone believes they can make others submit with the Kunai in their hands.
The problem is, too many people think that way.
All five Great Ninja Villages think that way, and all Kage-level Ninja think that way.
There are wars between Villages, and there are life-and-death internal struggles within Villages.
Wherever there are people, there are conflicts.
This question is too grand, Qiao Yi; you just need to live well, this isn't a problem for you and me to consider.
Perhaps one day, when I become the strongest Ninja in the Ninja World, I can try to reduce the killing."
Night Light didn't even believe what he said; he was just trying to fool the young girl.
However, he was quite interested in the position of Anbu Commander now.
The Hokage was busy with myriad tasks, but the Anbu Commander could bring in personal interests, do many things, and influence many people.
The Hokage couldn't personally supervise all Anbu missions and would certainly need the Anbu Commander's assistance.
The next day, Qiao Yi opened the Izagaya's door punctually at noon.
No one came to arrest her; it seemed she had truly become an ordinary Konoha villager, running a small Izagaya.
This kind of life was quite good too.
In the afternoon, someone suddenly came in and shouted, "Madam, give me your best sake! And another plate of braised beef!"
Qiao Yi was momentarily dazed; he had walked in and was standing at the door, smiling at her.
At this moment, she found him even more handsome and captivating.
Qiao Yi blushed and retreated.
After eating and drinking, thinking that Qiao Yi was still injured and couldn't do much at night, Night Light left the Izagaya and went to Konoha Hospital.
Inside Konoha Hospital, Black Gorilla and Bai Yang had both finished their surgeries.
Black Gorilla took off his mask; he was a round-faced Fat Man, looking very similar to other Akimichi Ninja.
Black Gorilla's wife was also from the Akimichi Clan; the two should be distant relatives.
The Ninja Clans had strict genealogies, recording the family relationships of Ninja to avoid inbreeding.
Black Gorilla said to his wife, "You go out first; I need to talk to my friend."
Black Gorilla's wife didn't know Black Gorilla was in the Anbu; Black Gorilla referred to him as a friend, not a subordinate.
Night Light couldn't help but glance at Black Gorilla's wife; her chest was heavy, even more magnificent than Tsunade's.
As expected of the Akimichi Clan, who mastered the Body Expansion Jutsu; they specialized in their field, and even the Senju Clan had to bow down in this regard.
After the room was empty, Night Light said, "Captain, I'm temporarily acting as Squad Leader, and many tasks can't be carried out; the squad is too small."
Black Gorilla looked at his bandaged leg and said:
"I'll be discharged in half a month, and I'll recover my combat strength in another month and a half.
Princess Tsunade's medical Ninjutsu is truly exquisite; my aunt said that other doctors at Konoha Hospital couldn't have saved my leg.
Wait for me for a month and a half; during this time, you all can rest a bit.
I'll re-establish the Black Gorilla Squad after I'm out."
Night Light nodded repeatedly, meaning that his safety was guaranteed for the next month and a half.
He felt a little excited just thinking about it.
It was the 12th now, and the resurrection count for this full moon cycle had been used up.
If he could survive until the 14th of next month, he would use his golden finger to proactively stir up some trouble.
It wasn't easy; he had been in life-threatening situations every month since transmigrating.
No wonder Uchiha Itachi would massacre his clan for peace; peace was too precious, and war could easily force people into becoming beasts.
