That's never going to happen Moji. The prisoners won't be sent from here until the kid starts walking here." Yoshiro said. He knew not to trust Moji at all. He was glad to see that the kid was unharmed but he and the old man were confused by one thing and that was neither Hideki nor did any other leaf shinobi call him out nor did the kid cry or smile like a typical 12-year-old. The kid was just looking at the people around.

"Alright Moji since they have already agreed to release numerous of your men in exchange for one kid, let's trust them a little and let the kid go." Jiro said.

'He is really good at acting.' Moji thought as he saw Jiro playing the mediator. Moji looked at Yami and said "Kid go toward them but no sudden movements. One step at a time."

Yami nodded quietly and started walking toward the bloodline clan leaders. On the other side, the prisoners were also walking one step at a time toward Moji and his people.

Everyone was waiting for a single instance where one party lets it guard down and then start the war but contrary to what Moji expected, the exchange was going quietly...too quietly and that was worrying for Moji.

'How can things go this smoothly? We do not have a single distraction right now that I can launch an attack. I thought Riko would attack my people just by provoking him with a few words but he has gained self-control and Asami is doing a good job of calming him down. On the other hand, the kid is walking quietly and not even crying...that's what a civilian kid should do. If he was a shinobi then I would have sensed the chakra fluctuations leaking from his body. I am sure this kid must be related to a big merchant or something.' Moji thought.

As quietly as things were happening, both sides were getting more and more tense. Mei and Kana were focused on Yami who was walking toward them.

'Just a few steps Yuta and then you would be safe.' Kana thought. But then everyone saw Priest Ji running toward Yami. They didn't know what he was doing or what he was planning on doing. Jiro and Moji were about to cuss at him loudly because Ji had finally made a mistake.

"What the hell are you doing?" Moji yelled as he looked at Ji. By this time, Ji had gone and grabbed Yami and kept a dagger at his throat. His eyes were getting redder and saliva was dripping from the sides of his mouth.

Seeing that Ji had stopped Yami from coming further, Kana tried to rush toward him but Mei and Santo quickly grabbed her.

"Don't make this mistake Kana. We can't interfere in this." Santo said.

"B-But Santo...Sister Mei, he is so close to us now...we can save him from that lunatic." Kana said.

The bloodline clan leaders heard that but they knew that this isn't the right time to move. They couldn't compromise their entire war for a civilian kid. Mei remembered the hard choices her father had told her about.

They all looked at Kakashi and the other hidden leaf shinobis as they could easily make their move as they were from the same village as Yami.

Jiro who had stopped himself plenty of times from killing Ji because he was useful, was now regretting his decision. He couldn't say that Ji was not from his village and was from a cult as it would mean that the hidden stone supports such a cult. Ji had now worn a hidden stone uniform so if he does anything to Yami then it was the hidden stone's doing.

"Ji, LET THE KID GO THIS INSTANT." Jiro shouted.

"Hehe...do you think I am scared of you or something?" Ji said in a maniac tone.
