Godo ate his food with a delighted smile on his face. His daughter was also eating it with him too this made the food more delicious.

The two were now sitting under the shade of a big tree. They hadn't had a chance to spend much time together lately because of the war.

"It's very delicious Otou-chan"

"If you like it you can eat more, Otou-chan isn't that hungry."

"Really, Thank you Otou-chan!"

Because of the war there was not much food left in the village. all the food they have they need to send them to the front line.

Now even with his status. He could only feed them so only for them to not be hungry. They can not eat extravagantly.

And as the two ate lunch together, they hear a warning sound that resounded loudly through the whole village.

"Enemy!"

Godo stopped eating and stood up with haste. He looked at Yuffie before ordering her.

"Go home now!"

The warning sound meant that the enemies were approaching the Village and might break through the defense at any given moment.

Yuffie was scared but she still did as she was instructed. She ran home as quickly as possible to tell her mother about the danger.

Godo, After he was sure that Yuffie actually listened to him. Then he went to the wall of the village. He was ready to fight to the death. and when he was on the wall. He breathed in the cold air.

There was a group of strangers that he had ordered his people to kill. They came to the village with the people he sent out to kill them. They had been badly beaten but were not dead yet.

"What should we do, Master?"

A young man said to him with anxiety. There's people he knew inside the group that were taken hostage now.

He needed to tread this carefully otherwise there might be an infighting. and with the danger roaming around them. He can't let it happen.

"Let's talk to them and ask what they want. I'll be the spokesperson."

Jaune and his team were now infront of the village of the ninjas that attacked them.

Jaune wanted to use his spear and broke through the wall and beat the one who sent the ninjas to kill him and his team.

They didn't even check first if they were enemies or not. They just want to kill them and get rid of the problem if they were spies or not.

Now they knew they weren't Shinra soldiers. but the opposite force that would fight Shinra if needed.

Ifalna convinced him to heal those who still didn't die yet to let them be the bargain chip for them.

"What do you want?"

A middle aged man asked Jaune after he jumped down from the wall with his guards. They looked at Jaune and his team warily.

Jaune breathed out a little before speaking. There was a spark here and there around his body. He was ready to fight with the thunder breathing technique. the quickest and deadliest technique he had.

"Who sent these people to kill us?"

Jaune asked directly.

The middle aged man was silent a little before he sighed and told him that it was him who ordered them to kill him and his friend.

"It was me who sent them to kill all of you. If you want revenge then kill me and let them go."

"Master! You can't do that!"

All the ninjas around them were ready to die for this man.

Jaune snorted when he saw everyone were ready to fight for the middle aged man.

"Do you think you all can stop me if I want to kill him?"

Jaune then gave them an example.

He thrust his spear very fast and the wall behind the middle aged man was punctured. There was a big hole through the stone wall.

"Can you really stop my spear before it reaches his head?"

No one can answer that. They knew the answer was no. They can't even see his attack. How can they defend against it?

And as the tension was climbing to a very high degree, A woman then spoke out.

"Jaune, please. We come to negotiate, not to kill them."

The woman who spoke to Jaune was Ifalna. She will act as a good cop here. She was going to play with their minds a little bit.

She knew that they were far away from where her daughter was. They need their help if they want to cross the continent.
