Chapter 125 Close the door, release the bugs
Without the Whirlpool Elixir, the medical standards of the Grass Ninja Village have plummeted. Several days have passed, and the wounded are still not fully treated.
"Chief, this is the application submitted by the hospital. They need to purchase a large quantity of medicine and equipment."
Shinnosuke took the report, glanced at it, and was startled by the numbers on it.
"Why does it cost so much money?"
Are you sure there's nothing wrong with this report?
"Could someone have sabotaged this place?"
The Jonin hurriedly explained, "Recently, due to the war, the prices of all related supplies have skyrocketed. Especially medicines, which have practically gone up to the sky."
"The village didn't have many supplies to begin with, and the few remaining stocks were all forcibly bought up by Iwagakure."
"At the time, we were concerned about the presence of the mother and daughter from the Whirlpool, and since the village wasn't involved in the war, the demand for these medicines wasn't that high, so we didn't restock immediately. We thought we could replenish them after the war ended and the prices dropped."
"Who knows————"
"Damn Uchiha! Damn Rain Country!" Shinnosuke slammed his fist on the table and cursed angrily, but the Jonin only added fuel to the fire.
"Because of what happened before, those merchants also suffered considerable losses. They tallied up the lost personnel and goods, made a list, and joined forces to demand that the village compensate them at the original price."
As he spoke, the Jonin took out another report and placed it on the desk in front of Shinnosuke.
"What?!" Shinnosuke was even angrier, pacing around the office in a rage. "This is taking advantage of someone's misfortune!"
"Those unscrupulous merchants, not a single one of them is any good!"
His gaze swept over the two reports several times, and he really didn't want to sign them. The ninja could tell what he was thinking from his expression, and hurriedly advised, "As you know, those merchants are all influential figures, and the village really doesn't dare to offend them."
"Especially in the current situation, if the caravans cut off the supply lines, the villagers might not even be able to afford rice balls."
Shinnosuke's face turned pale and then red, clearly furious. But after panting for a while, he could only sigh and pick up his pen to sign both reports.
After signing the document, Shinnosuke was completely deflated. He leaned back in his seat and waved his hand weakly.
"Alright, get on with it."
The Jonin bowed and accepted the report. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard an explosion coming from the village gate. Immediately afterward, the alarm sounded again throughout the entire village.
"Who's here now?"
Shinnosuke was both surprised and angry, and jumped up from his seat.
Through the window, he could clearly see that the towering Susanoo had once again appeared at the village entrance, while the entire village was engulfed in flames.
"Uchiha An!"
Shinnosuke let out a heart-wrenching scream, grabbed his long sword, and rushed out of the office, heading towards the main entrance.
"Hey, the Grass Ninja Village is just ahead." An stood on a tree, pointed towards the distant Grass Ninja Village, and began assigning tasks.
"Haku and Hiruko stayed behind to protect Karin and her mother, while Yashiro and the others went with me to kill them."
"Wait, why should I stay?" Hiruko protested. "Why can't Yatsushiro and the others stay?"
"Because you are strong enough." An was pleased with Hiruko's initiative and explained in detail, "Now we are going to take revenge. Once the people of Kusagakure find out, they will definitely send people to cause trouble for Karin and her daughter."
"I'm asking you to protect them outside, so that they won't get into trouble while we're killing people inside."
Hiruko frowned and thought for a moment, then finally nodded reluctantly, "Alright, anyway, I didn't come here to avenge her, so it doesn't matter whether I enter the village or not."
"Ah, right, right, right." An called Bai over again and instructed, "You're still young, and you don't have much chakra."
If enemies come, there's no need to fight them head-on; just take Karin and run away.
"I understand, sir, please rest assured." Bai solemnly promised, "I am your tool, sir, and even if I die, I will protect Miss Karin."
"Forget about tools, they're your subordinates!"
An rubbed Bai's head before leading Yashiro and the others away, heading towards Kusagakure.
Meanwhile, Haku and Hiruko each carried Karin and her daughter to the treetops, looking out over the three of them—An and Yatsushiro—who were wreaking havoc in Kusagakure.
An came here specifically to kill people, so when he arrived at the gates of Kusagakure, he started fighting without saying a word.
After activating Susanoo, he kicked the door open and strode inside.
The half-meter-thick bluestone gate shattered like paper, and the flying rubble turned several nearby guards into sieves, leaving pools of blood on the spot.
He casually took the gourd off his back, tilted it down, and poured out all the phosphorus worms inside.
One of the important reasons why Anbulang Biluhu came over was this.
The impure earth body is not afraid of phosphorus-destroying insects, but Hiruko is probably not. If he encounters this thing, he will most likely suffer a great loss.
He had previously collected a lot of phosphorus worms from Yu Nu Qu Gen, but he was not good at cultivating the worms and had used them many times, so now he had almost used them all up.
This time, he didn't have to worry about accidentally injuring any insects, so he simply released them all, letting them run around and reproduce freely.
Maybe after the battle is over, the number of insects will return to its peak!
These insects poured out of the gourd like a waterfall, and once freed from its restraints, they spread out in all directions like mercury flowing across the ground.
Wherever it passed, purple immediately spread out, like a colorful cloud, beautiful yet deadly.
"What is this thing? Ah—"
Those grass ninjas had never seen such highly poisonous nanobots before. Before they knew it, they were turned into purple-haired people on the spot, their corpses lying haphazardly on the ground, without even a chance to resist.
The exaggerated toxicity terrified all the grass ninja, who fled in panic, not daring to even approach the poisonous insects. They only dared to use ninjutsu from a distance to burn the insects with fire.
But when burned, the purple insects turned into purple smoke, which filled the air.
Under the sunlight, the entire Kusagakure village seemed to be shrouded in a dreamy purple mist.
The insects are dead, but the poison remains and has spread.
"Gurgle—uh—"
Those ninjas who accidentally inhaled the poison gas immediately had difficulty breathing, their faces turned purple, they reached out and choked their own throats, collapsed to the ground, struggled in pain for a while, and then completely lost their breath.
"Take the antidote immediately!"
"Beware of toxins in the air!"
A group of grass ninjas were shouting in a hurry, making the scene even more chaotic.
But they soon discovered that the antidote was ineffective, and people were still dying, which only fueled the panic.
"Quickly put on your gas mask!"
"Blow the bugs away with the wind, don't let them come near!"
After joining the Wind Release ninjas, they finally managed to contain the spread of the insects, but before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, a fire dragon spewed out from behind them.
