Chapter 73: INAZ - 72

This was a type of food similar to something made from rice. He really hadn't eaten it in Konoha.
"Right? Then what about the mission I gave you?" Shinji accepted the snack Deidara handed over, but his mouth didn't stop.
"This..." Deidara was momentarily stunned by Shinji's words. He was just playing today; where did he find the time to think about the mission Shinji mentioned?
"Jūgo, you tell me," Shinji sighed. Looks like asking Deidara about this kind of thing really wasn't reliable.
"Okay, Lord Shinji. Karin and I mainly observed the streets and houses where the villagers gathered today. Deidara, on the other hand, disappeared from the beginning," Jūgo stated calmly. These were the details he grasped throughout the day. After all, Otogakure currently had few people, so gathering information was still simple.
"Jūgo, you!" Deidara looked incredulously at Jūgo. Good grief, you sold me out right from the start!
"And then?" Shinji ignored Deidara's surprise, continuing to look at Jūgo.
"Most villagers still have fear in their hearts, but it's slightly better than last time. It seems their confidence in Otogakure has risen a step," Jūgo continued.
"Then what about those who lack confidence in the village or came with other purposes?" Shinji leaned back on the reclining chair and asked.
"There are some, but the proportion is relatively small. This is the list," Jūgo took out a small notebook. Recorded on it were the villagers whose inner thoughts seemed different, sensed today.
