Chapter 220 The arsonist...

Kakashi and Kai took the injured Yume Shiwei back to the stronghold on the border of Kusanagi Village, handed over the wounded to the medical ninja, and then immediately told the experience of the three to Jiraiya, who was temporarily in charge of the front line.

Jiraiya immediately brought a medical ninja, a ninja from the Hyuga branch, and together with Kakashi and Gai, went to the Grass Ninja Village again.

When a group of five people came to the village, they were completely stunned by the sight in front of them. There were corpses piled up in every street, and some houses had been burned.

After Jiraiya inquired about the residence address of the leader of the Grass Ninja Village, he immediately rushed there - they had to communicate with the person in charge of the Grass Ninja Village as soon as possible, otherwise, even if they wanted to help the Grass Ninja Village, there would be no legitimate reason. reason.

"The war is over, there's no point in us staying, right?" Kai asked confused.

"You can't say that." Kakashi shook his head, "The vitality of Kusanagi Village has been seriously injured. In a short period of time, it will be difficult to be self-sufficient. If you don't help them, the refugees will enter Konoha. But they are not from Konoha Village. Whether to find a job or temporarily live in Muye Village is an unstable factor. In the case of lack of board and lodging, if you do something desperate, it will be the villagers of Muye Village who will be injured. Therefore, we have to Providing help to the best of our ability to the Grass Ninja Village is also for the stability of the Leaf Village."

Kai suddenly realized.

"However, judging from the current situation, it is not very easy to complete the reconstruction." Jiraiya looked at the scene of Kusanagi Village and felt pressure.

The three people came to the residence of the leader of Kusanagi Village and saw the collapsed house at a glance.

This is a house similar to a hall. Although it has collapsed, it is not difficult to judge from the ruins that it was very large before.

Generally speaking, such a house is very resistant, and it is difficult to imagine how much force it would take to collapse it.

The Kusanagi hurriedly moved away the collapsed wooden piles and bricks, trying to rescue the people trapped inside. Jiraiya asked the ninjas of the Hyuga clan to use their Byakugan to determine the location of the injured.

"There is still one person alive, but his aura is very weak." said the ninja of the Hyuga clan.

Byakugan's auxiliary ability exceeds that of other ninjutsu, especially in terms of detection. With this function, the location of ninjas buried under the ruins can be determined.

This is more convenient than the Ninja Dog search.

After determining the location of the injured, rescue is much simpler.

After the injured were rescued, the medical ninja immediately followed and began to treat the injured.

"Did Akatsuki do this?" Kakashi frowned.

There were not many members of 'Akatsuki', but they killed hundreds of grass ninjas.

Although there were some Chuunin among these people, their strength was mediocre, but even so, the number of dead was still a bit scary.

"This matter is not that simple." Jiraiya shook his head, "Compared with the intervention of 'Akatsuki', the bigger problem is not who invited 'Akatsuki'? But from the perspective of people from other villages, no matter how many people are killed or injured, These are all matters within the Grass Ninja Village, and 'Akatsuki' only accelerated the process."

"But, what to do with the dead!? Did they die in vain?" Kai disagreed with Jiraiya's answer.

"Do you know the origin of 'Akatsuki'?" Jiraiya asked.

Kai and Kakashi shook their heads, not sure what this matter had to do with "the origin of Akatsuki".

"This goes back to the Second Ninja World War... In a sense, it should be a product of the Second Ninja World War. It was born in the village of Ukage and fought against Hanzo. During that time, Ukage Two kinds of forces appeared in the village at the same time, that is, the traditional forces represented by Hanzo, and the emerging forces represented by 'Xiao'. The two sides will inevitably decide a winner, and then rule Yuyin Village. In this process, the casualties inevitable.

"Is it very similar to Cao Ninja Village today? Tell me, who is responsible for the civil war in Yuyin Village at that time? What can the people from other villages do for such a war? Are they going to intervene in civil wars in other countries?"

After saying these words, Jiraiya felt extremely uncomfortable inside.

He knew that he was "defending" Xiao.

From his personal point of view, this is not the "Tao" he identifies with, but these phenomena do exist.What makes Jiraiya feel even more helpless is that participating in the war as a "mercenary" does not only happen to "Akatsuki".

In fact, all major ninja villages, including Konoha, rely on conflicts between other ninja villages or countries to obtain benefits. This is also one of the main ways for ninja villages to obtain benefits.

In order to rationalize these actions, the ninjas need a valid reason - either the existence of a client or the pursuit of justice.

But who defines “justice”?

When they intervene, it is "justice", and when other ninja organizations intervene, it is "evil"?
Such a standard is too illogical.

What's more, the targets of "Akatsuki" are only ninjas, not civilians. They are just fulfilling the "contract".

Kakashi thought more, and soon realized the meaning behind Jiraiya's words, and rubbed his forehead helplessly.

"However, they destroyed the 'Ghost Lantern City' and many prisoners died." Kakashi said bravely, trying to make a final effort.

Jiraiya quickly turned his head and was about to ask for details when he heard Kai say: "But, they didn't admit it."

"Do you have evidence?" Jiraiya asked Kakashi.

Kakashi shook his head, "They are the only ones near Ghost Lantern City. If they didn't do it, who else could be there?"

"What if...they think so too?" Jiraiya asked.

"Ok?"

"They said it was Konoha who did it, how do you refute it?" Jiraiya saw that Kakashi was speechless and shook his head helplessly, "Evidence, unless there is complete evidence, even if we know that it was them, we have no idea. There is no way.”

Kakashi puffed his cheeks and lost his temper.

He knew what Jiraiya said was true.

Moreover, even if there is evidence, the Leaf Village cannot use this as a reason to start a war with "Akatsuki" - the Leaf Village will not do anything that is not beneficial.

At this moment, two people wearing masks ran in in a very embarrassed manner, but were stopped by the grass ninja who was maintaining order.

"Let me go!" The monkey-headed man took off his mask. He was a middle-aged man with green hair, and the headband on his forehead bore the mark of the Grass Ninja Village.

"Lord Oiwa, you are not dead yet!?"

"Do you really want me to die!?" Oyan said angrily.

"Don't dare..."

"Hurry up and contact other ninja villages, Ghost Lantern City has been set on fire!"

"Do you know who burned it?" Kakashi asked quickly.

"Who are you..." Oiwa saw the mark on Kakashi's headband and immediately guessed that he was a ninja from the Leaf Village. His face changed slightly and he said bravely, "It's the grass ninja Murakami, Wuwei."

That bastard Wuwei actually wanted to kill him... unforgivable!
Oiwa clenched his fists.
