Kakashi and Gai took the injured Aburame Shimi back to the stronghold on the border of Kusanagi Village, handed the injured to the medical ninja, and then immediately relayed the experiences of the three people 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 Kai, went to the Grass Ninja Village again.
When a group of five people came to the village, they were completely shocked by the sight before them. Bodies were piled on every street, and some houses showed signs of being burned by fire.
After Kakashi asked about the residence address of the leader of the Grass Ninja Village, he immediately felt where it was - they had to communicate with the temporary person in charge of the Grass Ninja Village as soon as possible, otherwise, even if they wanted to help the Grass Ninja Village, they would not be able to help the Village.
There is no valid reason.
"The war is over, there's no point in us staying anymore, right?" Kai asked confused.
"You can't say that." Kakashi shook his head, "The Grass Ninja Village has become like this, and its vitality has been greatly damaged. In a short period of time, it will be difficult to be self-sufficient. If we don't help them, refugees will enter Konoha. But they themselves are not Konoha.
The people of Leaf Village, whether they want to find a job or live temporarily in Konoha Village, are an unstable factor. In the absence of food and accommodation, if they do something desperate, Konoha will still be injured.
The villagers of the village. We help the reconstruction of the Grass Ninja Village and let them stay in the Grass Ninja Village for the stability of Konoha 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 arrived at 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. Now that it is like this, it is hard to imagine what it suffered before.
The Kusanagi hurriedly moved away the fallen wooden piles and bricks, while Jiraiya asked the ninjas of the Hyuga clan to use their Byakugan to determine whether there were any injured inside.
"There is still one person alive, but his aura is very weak." said the ninja of the Hyuga clan.
Byakugan's auxiliary ability far exceeds other ninjutsu, especially in terms of detection. With this power, the location of ninjas buried under the ruins can be determined.
This is more convenient than collecting Ninja Dogs.
After the location was determined, the efficiency of the rescue increased. When the injured were rescued, the medical ninja immediately followed and began to treat the injured.
"Did Akatsuki do this?" Kakashi frowned.
But in terms of combat power, there are not many members of Akatsuki, but these people killed hundreds of grass ninjas.
Although there are still some chunin among these people, the number is still a bit scary.
"This matter is not that simple." Jiraiya shook his head, "Compared to the intervention of 'Akatsuki', isn't the bigger problem who invited 'Akatsuki'? From the perspective of people from other villages, no matter how many people are killed or injured,
People are all matters within the Grass Ninja Village, and 'Akatsuki' only speeds up the process."
"But, what to do with the dead!?" 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 matter can be traced back to the Second Ninja War... In a sense, it should be a product of the Second Ninja War. It was born in the Hidden Rain Village and fought against Hanzo. In this state, Rain
Two forces emerged in Hidden Village at the same time, namely the traditional force represented by Banzai and the new force 'Xiao'. Both sides must decide a winner to rule Yuyin Village. In this process, casualties are inevitable
.
"Is it similar to today's Kusanagi Village? Tell me, who is responsible for the civil war in Amegakure Village? And what can people from other villages do for such a war? Do you want to intervene in the civil wars of 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 really happen.
What makes Jiraiya feel even more helpless is that the situation of participating in the war as a "mercenary" is not limited to "Akatsuki". In fact, all major ninja villages, including Konoha, have to rely on other ninja villages.
Or the country's conflicts to obtain benefits, this is also one of the main ways for the ninja village to obtain benefits.
In order to rationalize these actions, ninjas need a valid reason - either a client or a desire for justice.
But who sets the definition of “justice”?
When they intervene, it is "just", and when other ninja organizations intervene, it is "evil". This standard is too general.
What's more, the targets "Akatsuki" is targeting are only ninjas, not civilians. They are just fulfilling the "contract". At the same time, their client, "Kusa no Hana", is also the weak side in this battle.
Kakashi thought more, and immediately heard the hidden meaning in 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 the reason in detail when he heard Kai say: "But, they didn't admit it."
"Do you have evidence?" Jiraiya asked.
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.
"Um?"
"People say it was Konoha who did it, how do you refute it?" Jiraiya saw Kakashi speechless and shook his head helplessly, "Evidence, unless there is complete evidence, even if we know it was them, we have no idea.
There is no way. This is reality.”
Kakashi puffed out 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 hurriedly ran in in a very embarrassed manner, and were immediately 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. The headband on his forehead bore the symbol of Kusanagi 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 Konoha Village. His face changed slightly and he said bravely, "It's a grass ninja, Murakami Ninja, Wuwei."
That bastard Wuwei actually wanted to kill him... unforgivable!
