He only killed one lower-ranked ninja, so Aoi naturally didn't want to stop easily.
After disposing of Matsukawa Kōichi's body, Aoi turned around, parted the fire, and squatted back down...
Seeing this, Yūya from afar couldn't help but twitch his mouth and sighed: "Captain, he's squatting again!"
Everyone exchanged glances and couldn't help but sigh: "He's so despicable..."
Meanwhile, fifty kilometers away, in a cave...
"What's going on? Why hasn't Goro come back yet?"
Fūta Dōhi frowned, a strange sense of unease rising in his heart...
"Probably nothing. Konoha doesn't dare come out now!" His subordinate looked optimistic, relishing the days of pressing Konoha hard—so satisfying!
Another ten minutes passed, and Fūta Dōhi suddenly stood up: "Let's go and check it out!"
The Sand shinobi had bet everything on this war. Their team alone had ten members—two Chūnin and eight Lower-ranked ninjas.
Only one Chūnin and three Lower-ranked ninjas remained, while the others followed Fūta Dōhi rushing toward Wolf's Wretchedness...
When Fūta Dōhi arrived, Goro was still sitting on the ground, dazed: "When my wife comes back, I'll definitely kill him."
"What's going on here?"
Goro repeated what he had said earlier, and Fūta Dōhi frowned: "And that ninja who came earlier?"
"Fire was blazing at the time. He went in, and then he never came out!"
"Did you hear any fighting sounds?"
"No..."
Goro nodded affirmatively.
Hearing this, Fūta Dōhi's brow furrowed even tighter.
No fighting sounds?
With Matsukawa Kōichi's ability, it was impossible for him to be killed silently by a lower-ranked ninja.
Could it be an elite Jōnin?
But soon, Fūta Dōhi quickly dismissed this possibility. If it were an elite Jōnin, why resort to such sneaky methods? They would have charged directly—under their strength, resisting would be impossible.
Eliminate all possibilities. The remaining explanation, no matter how unbelievable, must be the truth!
Matsukawa Kōichi was burned to death!
Hearing this, Fūta Dōhi and his team headed straight into the fire. The flames had already subsided considerably, with only some residual embers quietly burning. But after searching around, they still couldn't find Matsukawa Kōichi's body.
Suddenly, a faint crying sound emerged...
"Waa waa..."
Like a baby's cry, but the sound was very faint.
Fūta Dōhi followed the sound, parting the wreckage, and unexpectedly found Matsukawa Kōichi's corpse. His body had already been burned into a piece of char.
A sharp beam of wood pierced straight through his chest, but that beam was also burned into charcoal, making it impossible to tell its original shape...
As he parted Matsukawa Kōichi's corpse, a battered and scarred Aoi slowly opened his eyes, weakly opening and closing his mouth: "Uncle, don't leave me..."
Seeing this, the brave man shed tears, and the Buddha's compassion seemed to fill the scene...
The case was solved!
Matsukawa Kōichi must have been trying to save this child. The broken, scorched beam at the end collapsed and directly pierced his heart.
So, before dying, Matsukawa Kōichi used his body to create a small space of life for this child...
Matsukawa Kōichi, you're amazing!
Everyone couldn't help but feel a deep respect. Although Matsukawa Kōichi was usually a little silent and reserved...
He was a hero!
"Quickly, carry the child out!"
Fūta Dōhi frowned. This group of Lower-ranked ninjas had no eyes—completely clueless.
The only female ninja in the team volunteered to carry Aoi out, and her broad chest made Aoi suddenly tremble.
Indeed, two years old and twenty years old feel completely different...
But Aoi wasn't in a hurry. When Tsunade turned twenty, Aoi was afraid he wouldn't be able to control both hands!
Raising a child required patience, but right now, Nara was the priority...
Aoi weakly opened his eyes and stretched out a hand toward the chubby Fūta Dōhi: "Kōichi, Uncle..."
"Don't want a beauty, want Uncle!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment. The female ninja holding Aoi looked a little aggrieved: her chest was so broad, and children loved to come here...
"He probably thinks I'm Matsukawa Kōichi..."
Fūta Dōhi nodded proudly: "Good boy, you have good eyes. Come, Uncle will hold you!"
"Uncle Kōichi!"
Aoi looked at him expectantly, stretching out both arms and grabbing Fūta Dōhi's arm fiercely.
Feeling the strength from the arm, Fūta Dōhi was stunned: "This kid is so strong..."
But Fūta Dōhi didn't mind. He just thought Aoi was excited for a moment, and affectionately hugged him: "Little guy, Uncle Kōichi went far away. You won't see him again!"
"Such gentleness, Captain!"
"Captain, I'm so touched I could cry…"
This was supposed to be a warm, family moment, but Aoi suddenly nodded coldly: "I know!"
"What?"
Fūta Dōhi looked at Aoi in confusion. He wasn't quite sure if he heard right.
Poof...
Suddenly, a sharp kunai pierced straight through Fūta Dōhi's heart.
Aoi gently pushed Fūta Dōhi away, grinning: "I won't see him anymore, but I'm going to send you to see him!"
