Godo sighed and felt a headache was coming.
"What is the meaning of this Godo! We can't let the outsiders inside our village like this. Do you still remember the teachings of our ancestors!"
One of the elders said to him with great contempt. He was the opposition to him in politics.
Godo looked at the elder before answering.
"I remembered, But the lives of our people matter more. Do you think the teachings of the ancestors just taught us not to let outsiders in? You are just using our ancestors as an excuse to make the matter more complicated. The ancestors taught us to take care of our people and be better. Be like water!"
The elder who wanted to defame Godo grit his teeth. That's right he just wanted to make the matter become more complicated so that he could get the position he wanted.
Godo just counter attacked him with a caring people card. and it was super effective because many people now looked at him with displeasure.
The people who didn't like him were those who got their family members or friends back. If Godo didn't go and negotiate with them. They might not get them back.
And there might be someone who didn't feel the same, those were people whose family members and friends were killed. but they understood because they were ninjas. Death comes with the job.
The elder couldn't stop now that he already started.
"So what do you want to do with them? Are you going to let them leech off our food? We don't have much food to feed them!"
The elder tried to use the shortage of food as an excuse now.
Godo heard that, and he laughed out loud. It seems like he didn't keep up with the information very well.
He just came here and wanted to defame him by the little thing he knew. That's why he didn't get the position he wanted.
He's way too stupid.
"You want to play with that? Do you know half of the food in our storage right now comes from them and you have a face to talk about food when it is your responsibility. The crops are very bad this year. If it weren't for them sharing their food with us. We might not survive the winter."
"You lied! They are only few people how could they-"
"Mastered Space Materia."
"..."
Godo sighed.
"Can you stop trying to find fault with me? We are at war with Shinra right now. or Do you want to make a mess with me so that the Shinra would win this war?"
Godo tone was sharp. He would kill the elder right now if he spoke nonsense or did anything that made him angry again.
He had the authority to kill people that he deem to be a spy from Shinra.
And he leaned towards him being one.
The elder's face went pale. He knew that he had stepped on a landmine right now. If his answer wasn't convincing enough. He might be charged as a suspect for being a spy.
Even though he will not be killed. but he would live his life in shame.
And his face matters to him the most.
And as he was to say something stupid again. Someone came up and spoke to Godo.
"Okay, Tell them to wait for me I'll be there in a minute"
"Yes,sir"
Godo then looked at the elder. He didn't want to hear him speak anymore.
"Send him and his people to jail. Waiting for investigation"
"You can't do that to me! I am from royal blood. If you touch me you will be executed!"
"Whatever."
Godo just stood up and went to the guest room. He didn't care about him being of royal blood or not. If he was proven to be a traitor. His life was forfeited.
'Why are there so many idiot in my village *sigh* I miss my wife and my beloved daughter.'
Godo went to the guest room and he was shocked.
"Yuffie, what are you doing with the guest!"
Yuffie was now sitting in Jaune's lap while drinking cola and watching cartoons from his scroll.
It looked like Yuffie had now become one with the group. She took the teachings of their ancestors to heart. Be like water.
