Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

"ah?".

Upon hearing Xia Yan's question, Kawajiri Koji was taken aback.

He never expected that someone from the ninjas, who always focused on results, would care about such a question.

However, in the face of life, all these things are insignificant.

If he could survive, he wouldn't hesitate for a second even if asked for his wife's 3D measurements.

"Lord Cloud Ninja, actually..."

"Actually, I had my eye on a courtesan and wanted to redeem her and take her as my concubine. But a member of a faction that was close to the Land of Fire beat me to it, and he said some nasty things to me."

"In a fit of anger..."

"So it was because of a woman..."

Xia Yan shook his head, somewhat speechless.

He had initially hoped for a deeper meaning in Kawajiri Koji's explanation, but it turned out to be surprisingly superficial.

However, the reason I asked this question was simply to satisfy my own curiosity.

It has no practical significance.

From a certain perspective, this easy-to-follow answer might be more in line with Xia Yan's expectations. 12

"Then, second question."

"You've been in business for so many years, you must have accumulated quite a bit of wealth. Forget about fixed assets like real estate and land, just hand over all your other assets to me, and I'll spare your life."

"R-Really! If I hand over my property to Lord Yunren, will you really spare my worthless life?"

Although Kawajiri Koji's heart was breaking upon hearing Xia Yan's request, he still managed to put on a surprised and delighted expression.

It must be said that these businessmen and politicians are quite adept at controlling their facial features and emotions.

At least on the surface, you can't tell that he was unwilling.

"Ah, of course it's true. I swear on the name of Kumogakure!"

Xia Yan said in a very serious tone.

Seeing his serious expression, Kawajiri Koji finally felt relieved.

After all, in his mind, although ninjas were just a group of tools, they all inexplicably loved their village from the bottom of their hearts.

If the oath is made in the name of the village, then it will definitely be kept.

While his idea may be a stereotype, it does have some merit.

Although the Will of Fire is unique to Konoha, other ninja villages that were established in imitation of Konoha naturally also had corresponding indoctrination education.

Thinking about things like the Will of Rock, the Will of Water, or the Will of Lightning.

After all, the benefits of doing so are obvious, and the leaders of other countries are not fools.

This led many ninjas to prioritize the village's interests over their own lives.

They swore an oath in the name of the village, and if they failed to fulfill it, it would damage the village's reputation, so they would do so even at the cost of their lives.

However, Xia Yan didn't care about such nonsense.

After all, as a transmigrator who has received higher education and has his own mature values, even if he was also brainwashed by the Will of Fire from childhood, he would not be affected by such a low-level brainwashing method.

Moreover, he swore an oath in the name of Kumogakure.

What does the reputation of Kumogakure have to do with a Konoha ninja like him?

From the perspective of the future Hokage, the worse the reputation of other villages, the better it should be for him.

Koji Kawajiri naturally didn't know Xia Yan's true identity; at least until now, he firmly believed in Xia Yan's fabricated identity as a Jonin from Kumogakure.

So after receiving assurances, he also revealed the whereabouts of his liquid assets.

Of course, he didn't honestly reveal all his assets; instead, he held back about two-thirds, hoping to get away with it.

However, Xia Yan dug out all the things he had hidden using Soul Extraction.

After all, Xia Yan never intended to let him go from the beginning.

The reason they lied to him, saying they would spare his life if he paid them money, was simply to trick him into thinking about where those things were kept, so they could easily use mind control to see them.

Even if he didn't think about such things, Xia Yan's current level of mind manipulation would allow him to gradually uncover the truth.

But it's not as convenient as doing it this way.

"My lord, these are all my assets except for my houses and land."

Koji Kawajiri spoke with complete sincerity.

If Xia Yan hadn't been able to see through his thoughts, he might have actually believed it.

However, Xia Yan did not find him to be hypocritical.

After all, he wasn't a good person either, so naturally, one wouldn't have high expectations of others.

"Is that so? Well done, Mr. Kawajiri!" Xia Yan patted Kawajiri Koji on the shoulder with a satisfied expression. "Now there's just one more thing to do before I can leave."

After hearing Xia Yan's explanation, Kawajiri Koji breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord Cloud Ninja, please speak, and I will do everything in my power to fulfill your request..."

“Puwa——”

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Blood was uncontrollably gushing from his mouth.

"Since Mr. Kawajiri is so understanding, then I won't stand on ceremony with you. I still need Mr. Kawajiri's head to take back and complete the mission. I believe Mr. Kawajiri will still be willing to part with it."

As he spoke, Xia Yan pushed the kunai in his hand inward again and twisted it.

Feeling intense pain, Kawajiri Koji looked down in disbelief as he watched the kunai in Natsuhiko's hand pierce through his chest.

Judging from its location, it's clear that the heart has been pierced.

"Why...why!?"

"You clearly swore an oath in the name of the village, aren't you afraid of bringing shame to Kumogakure by doing this?!"

As if in a final burst of energy before death, Kawajiri Koji, while coughing up large amounts of blood, uttered these words with great emotion.

Then Xia Yan performed a magic trick right in front of him, making people disappear for free.

boom--

A puff of smoke drifted by, and Xia Yan deactivated his transformation jutsu. To the astonishment of his opponent, he reverted to his original handsome face and those eyes—the Hyuga clan's signature bloodline limit, almost universally known throughout the ninja world.

White eyes.

"What a pity, Mr. Kawajiri Koji. I told you from the beginning that I am a Jonin from Konoha, and I even explained the mission very clearly, but it seems that none of you believe me..."

Upon hearing Xia Yan's words, Kawajiri Koji's eyes widened, and he stared intently at Xia Yan with a gaze filled with resentment.

He lay on the ground, his eyes wide open in death.

"So--"

"What should we do with you next?"

After removing Kawajiri Koji's head and preserving it with a sealing scroll, Natsuhiko turned his gaze to a girl who appeared to be an orphan of the Uzumaki clan. She had been silent ever since the death of the Chunin from Kusagakure, standing motionless like a doll.

Facing Xia Yan's gaze, the girl did not show any fear.

But it wasn't because of bravery.

It's more like someone who doesn't care about life and death, and even sees death as a relief, which is why they don't care.

"Hey, what's your name?"

The girl remained standing still.

It appears to be a non-violent non-cooperation approach.

But her posture actually piqued Xia Yan's interest.

"So that's how it is, aren't you afraid of death...?"

He walked up to the girl, grabbed her chin, and forcefully lifted her head, which had been hanging down, despite her struggles.

Her dirty little face, hidden beneath her red hair, was revealed.

"Look closely, wow! Isn't she quite cute? I didn't expect her to be such a pretty little girl."

"Looks like I'm in good luck..."

As he spoke, Xia Yan gently wiped away the mud that had been deliberately smeared on the other person's face, revealing a very obvious, malicious smile.

Upon hearing Xia Yan's words, the girl, who had previously acted as if she didn't care about anything, visibly trembled.

At her teenage years, she clearly understood what Xia Yan's words and facial expression meant.

Although she was not afraid of death, she did not want to be humiliated before she died.

The girl pulled out a kunai and, without any hesitation, stabbed it into her heart.

The movements were decisive and skillful, clearly indicating that the artist had rehearsed them countless times, both mentally and in practice.

However, her little tricks would naturally not succeed in front of Xia Yan.

Before she could even thrust the kunai halfway out, Xia Yan easily snatched it away.

He then used the Byakugan's pressure point ability to seal the girl's chakra and remove all her armor.

"If you dare touch me, I will kill myself without hesitation!"

Realizing she had no room for maneuver, the girl uttered the most cowardly words in a fierce tone.

Xia Yan almost burst out laughing.

"You don't actually think you'd have the ability to commit suicide in front of me, do you?"

"You can't watch me every second! And if all else fails, I'll go on a hunger strike! I'll definitely die for you!"
