Fallen Angel

Chapter 6: The Crowd

Hinata has the Kaguya's Fruit and is now setting off to Fire Country with Neji . Hamasaki left to get back into his ship. Hinata was filled with remorse over killing Salvi. He was a poor priest who could barely lift a kunai, much less a sword!

"It was necessary Hinata."

"But..."

"But nothing! Salvi is a dangerous man and a Templar! That makes it worse. He had the Kaguya's Fruit. You should be proud of yourself Hinata."

"Perhaps."

The pair flew to Tanzaku Town where security was tight in every turn.

Hinata made it to the Assassin section of Tanzaku Town and she, Shizuka and Neji discussed Crisostomo Ibarra who Hinata recognized as the late Rafael's son and also Damaso and the manuscript.

Hinata made her way to Tanzaku Hall where she blended with the crowd who was listening to a speech.

Eduardo San Juan

The speech lasted for five minutes then Eduardo spoke with a man named Capitán Tiago.

"A rousing speech Master San Juan! But do you truly believe the Fire Daimyo will allow these villages autonomy?"

"He has little choice, Master Tiago. You know this situations gravity better than most."

The two spoke of something about an experiment then San Juan left.

Meanwhile Tiago was told by a Konoha nin that the Fruit was delayed causing him to get angry and threatened the nin to deliver the Fruit post-haste or he will have Damaso scalped.

With that he left.

"I'll take that you Templar dog." Hinata said smugly while she leaned over to pick up the manuscript.

"No!" Damaso shouted when she picked it up, "you have no idea what you're doing fool."

"Keeping the people free from your control." Hinata accused.

"How free will you be when the other nations undermine these squabbling villages?" Damaso challenged.

"These villages would be far better off without the Templars pulling the strings." Hinata countered.

"We bring order from chaos. If everything is permitted, no one is safe." Damaso said before succumbing to his wounds.

"Even the devil can quote scripture to suit his own purposes." Hinata muttered while she pocketed the manuscript and walked away.
