章 57: Unprepared

Chapter 57:

The flames were raging, and the sky seemed to be burning red!

"There's a fire! Help! It's my house..."

Brother Wang cried like crazy, and the others held him back and comforted him, "Brother Wang, don't be impulsive. As long as you have the green mountains, you will never be short of firewood~!"

Everyone finally managed to persuade Brother Wang to stop, but suddenly...

The whole village started to catch fire. The sudden flames could not be put out and the source could not be found.

"Oh my god, my house is on fire." "Damn it, my house is on fire too!" "Please put out the fire, my house is on fire!"

For a moment, everyone who had been very calm just now started shouting in panic...

Seeing this, Brother Wang was suddenly stunned. He stopped crying and laughed out loud: "Hahaha, Lao Li, Xiao Jiang, don't be impulsive. As long as you have the green mountains, you will never be afraid of running out of firewood!"

What a dramatic scene...

The fire in Langhuang Village was getting bigger and bigger. Even if the villagers were reluctant to leave their property, they could only flee far away. The blazing flames and billowing smoke and dust rose into the sky, and it could be seen clearly even from hundreds of miles away!

At the same time, in the cave more than 50 kilometers away from Langhuang Village...

"Captain, there seems to be something going on in the Wolf Village fifty miles away!"

"Um?"

Kaede Doi, a senior Chunin from the Sand Village, raised his eyebrows in confusion: "It looks like it's on fire, but we can't completely rule out the possibility that it was done by the Konoha ninjas..."

Kaede Doi thought for a long time and decided to send someone to take a look.

"Matsukawa Koichi, go and take a look!"

Matsukawa Koichi is the defensive expert of their team, and is extremely skilled in earth escape ninjutsu. Although he is a Genin, an ordinary Chunin would definitely not be able to take him down without some effort.

This amount of time was enough for him to issue a warning message...

"yes!"

Matsukawa Koichi not only looks honest, but also has a simple personality. After receiving the order, he said nothing, turned around and walked out of the cave, twisted his legs with chakra, and ran towards the distant Wolf Village. In just ten minutes, Matsukawa Koichi arrived at the Wolf Village...

"What's going on here?"

In just ten minutes, the whole village could not be burned completely. The villagers could only watch from a distance and dared not approach.

"I don't know. The house caught fire for no apparent reason and the fire couldn't be put out..."

Brother Wang sat on the ground in despair, looking around blankly: "Then, the whole village was on fire!"

Hearing this, Matsukawa Koichi couldn't help but frown.

I originally thought it was just a simple fire, but it doesn't sound like a simple accident...

But why would the Konoha ninjas set fire to the houses where the civilians lived? Besides exacerbating the situation, what good would this do to Konoha?

Matsukawa Mitsui couldn't figure it out, so he naturally decided to go deep into the fire scene to find out what was going on...

"Water Style—Water Entanglement!"

Chakra flowed, and two winding water columns flowed quietly around Matsukawa Koichi. This was a simple D-level ninjutsu that could barely resist some burns. Avoiding the burning flames, Matsukawa Koichi smelled a clear chakra scent...

These flames are definitely not ordinary fire, but flames emitted by ninjutsu.

"Wow~Wow~"

When Matsukawa Koichi was thinking, a sudden baby cry interrupted his thoughts.

"This is?"

Matsukawa Mitsuichi followed the sound and found a one-year-old baby huddled in a corner of the fire scene, crying loudly. The baby was lucky enough, as three thick beams crossed together and burned fiercely, creating a small living space.

Seeing this, Matsukawa Koichi almost subconsciously walked over. This has nothing to do with the status of ninjas and civilians, it is just an instinctive reaction of human nature. The survivors of a disaster are always particularly pitiful...

What's more, these are the people of his Wind Country. If there were no such civilians, their ninjas would not have such a luxurious life. In other words, the reason why the five major ninja villages are the five major ninja villages is because the five major countries are the five major countries.

Without a country with strong assets, it would be impossible to support the ninja village which costs a lot of money...

"Little guy, you are so lucky!"

Matsukawa Koichi smiled and stretched out his hand, picking up the baby in the flames: "Don't cry, little darling, what's your name?"

"My name is ..."

Li Jiexuan sobbed and tightly grasped Matsukawa Koichi's hand, grinning fiercely: "Grandpa Sand Ninja!"

"What!?"

Matsukawa Mitsui's eyes widened and he subconsciously tried to form seals with his hands.

But before he could make any move, a sharp kunai pierced his heart!

With a "bang", Matsukawa Mitsuru fell straight to the ground...

Until his death, he never understood why a two-year-old baby would wield a knife to kill him!

Li Jiexuan pried open Matsukawa Koichi's stiff hands and curled his lips in disdain: I've waited for so long, but only a Genin showed up. What a waste of my acting skills...

At the same time, a few kilometers away, Hinata Yoshiaki swallowed hard and said, "It's solved..."

Defenseless, no one would defend a baby who survived a disaster.

Matsukawa Koichi almost sent himself onto Li Jiexuan's kunai...
