After hearing about the situation from Godo. Ifalna then told him that they need to discuss among themselves first. and as for the hostages.

As a goodwill gesture they will be released immediately.

They didn't care much about the hostages. In fact they didn't even know what to do with them.

They're not very useful right now. If the Wutai's radical faction wanted to hurt them, They didn't care how the hostages' lives were. They will think that the hostages were the sacrifices.

What a cruel group of people.

"What do you think about this plan? We will ask for information about them. And we went to deal with Shinra's soldiers. Then we took an airplane and flew to the continent we wanted."

It was a simple plan. But it was probably the best plan available right now. If they don't deal with Shinra's soldiers first. There was absolutely no way for them to leave this continent.

"I agree with Jaune's plan!"

Pyrrha agreed, She would in fact agree to every plan Jaune made.

"Me too"

Blake after thinking a little bit. She agree too. There's nothing they could do if they didn't get rid of Shinra's soldiers first.

"Well, I agree too but can I have more quality dust ammo please? I don't have any coins right now but I promise I will return it!"

Ruby agreed, but she needed more dust ammo. because it's kind of expensive, and she used almost all of her coins on cookies from the world of food. The cookie was very delicious and good for her health. There's no way a cookie monster like her could stand its allure!

Yang could only sigh at Ruby. She tried to teach her about financial management but all in vain!

And while Jaune and everyone was talking about the plan, His ears picked something. Jaune looked in the direction of the sound he heard before using the rope tied to the rock and throwing it in that direction. A rope tied to a rock binded someone who eavesdropped on his plans.

"A little girl?"

Jaune was very surprised. He didn't think that the person eavesdropping on him was a girl dressed like a ninja. She tried to resist but her body was too weak. She looked at Jaune. Her tears spilled out.

It seemed that she was very afraid. Jaune saw that it was a girl and he immediately went to untie her.

"Good girl, don't cry. I'll give you this."

Jaune convinced the girl not to cry. and gave her some sweets. The girl immediately stopped crying when she ate the sweets Jaune gave her.

Janue seemed to be soft with the girl and wanted to let her go.

"Jaune, we can't let her go. She already knows our plan. Even if our plan didn't pose any danger to the people of the village. But if our plans leak It might be dangerous for us."

Ifalna stopped Jaune. She could not let him let her go just yet.

The girl looked at Jaune then at Ifalna. She needed to say something so that they would let her go.

"I-I am Yuffie Kisaraki the daughter of Godo Kisaraki. The one your people made a deal with. I just want to come here and see what the outsiders look like. I didn't mean any bad thing I swear!"

Ifalna heard her. Her heart hurt. She missed her little girl too but she knew that her daughter would be more than fifteen years old by now.

She then looked at Jaune. She wanted to know about his decision.

"I will let her go. I know she didn't mean any harm. and you won't tell anyone about our plan right?"

"Absolutely! I will never tell your plan to anyone. not even with my father and mother!"

"Oh! That's a good girl, Here I give you another one!"

Jaune then gave the girl more sweets. She loved it!

Looked like not many children in the village could afford to eat some sweets. War is a cruel thing.

Jaune let Yuffie go but not after two hours she went back. He knew what she wanted. so he gave it to her.

He felt like he's an uncle who lures children with sweets.
