Hokage: Let Suffering Never Fly

Chapter 27 Set fire to the mountain and sit in jail

Nara Shikaku took off his forehead protector, looked at the intact forehead protector, and had a clear understanding in his heart.

Gaia wants to create civil strife by crossing out the forehead... What if all the foreheads are crossed out?

Whether it is a commoner or a student of the family, if they all wear a forehead that has been crossed out, it will naturally destroy Gaia's purpose.

Not only that, but it can also force everyone to choose the last way to graduate - to eliminate Gaia.

"Minato, I have an idea..." A moment later, when Minato heard Nara Shikahisa's idea, everyone was surprised by the almost crazy behavior of the other party.

But thinking about it carefully, this seems to be their last chance.

Take the initiative to cross out the amount of protection, so that the goals of everyone on your side are unified.

Only by breaking the deadlock of internal opposition can they have a chance to win.

"Minato, I need your help." When Minato heard this, he naturally knew what he was going to do.

Most of the people who still keep the full forehead protection are civilian students, and if they want to take the initiative to cancel their forehead protection, someone must persuade them.

Nara Shikajiu couldn't do it, but Minato could.

In the ninja school, Minato is extremely popular among civilian students.

No one can reject a sunny and cheerful boy who was born in the same ordinary place as himself, has good talents, is handsome and treats people very kindly.

Minato left, and Nara Shikaku found other family students whose forehead protectors were still intact. After explaining the stakes, the other students thought for a moment, took off their own forehead protectors, made a determined effort, and drew a line on it with a kunai. Horizontal line.

If they are already genin, this behavior is not intended to betray the village.

But at this moment, this group of students who are still in the graduation examination know that this is the only way for them to get rid of Gaia's conspiracy.

A moment later, Minato brought the commoner students together with Nara Shikahisa and others.

Looking at the forehead protectors on the heads of the people around him, Nara Shikaku knew that now, they were a team again.

……

"The new generation of Konoha...are so courageous!" Outside the field, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was paying close attention to the assessment, sighed.

For a student who has always been proud of being a ninja, it undoubtedly takes a lot of courage to take the initiative to cross off the forehead protector.

But what ninjas need most is this kind of adaptability.

Not to mention, their actions this time also virtually avoided a bad incident that affected the reputation of the village.

Without Nara Shikaku, this incident might have fermented quickly... Although it will not shake the foundation of Konoha, it will still have an impact.

Gaia, what a scheming ah.

……

"It's time." Twenty kilometers up the river extending from the Death Forest, Maruhoshi Kosuke stood on the river bank, holding the poison Gaia had given him before in his hand, looking at the rippling water reflected in the water. The clouds covered half of the moon's shadow, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Shenshu-kun, tell me... how would Gaia-kun feel if he found out that he had been deceived?"

"Huh?" Behind Kosuke Maruhoshi, Nasuki and Matt Dai heard this and almost couldn't hold back.

I co-authored what you said to let young people feel the dangers of the ninja world...do you mean to let Gaia feel it?

"Hey, hey, I'm just kidding. I, Kosuke Maruboshi, am an ordinary genin. How dare I disobey Gaia-kun's request?" Kosuke Maruboshi laughed a few times and poured the poison in his hand directly. Among the rivers.

A few seconds later, large and small fish floated out of the river silently.

If it hadn't been confirmed through Nakoki that the poison was indeed from Tsunade, and the toxicity was not fatal, Maruhoshi Kosuke would not have dared to do such a thing.

Perhaps, the assessment should end today.Maruyoshi Kosuke seemed to think of something interesting, looked in the direction of the death forest and chuckled a few times.

Gaia-kun, you must not be able to sleep today.

……

What the hell!

Gaia, who was resting, suddenly straightened up with a carp.

Oops, will Kosuke Maruhoshi trick me?

He is a powerful Jōnin-level man. Instead of going to the battlefield to make a name for himself, he just works as a jungle genin in this small mountain wilderness. Thinking about it, he feels that this person is somewhat mentally disturbed...

No, how could I, who was usually such a cautious person, choose to believe him so easily at that time?

Thinking that the opponent is also good at illusion, Gaia even felt that he should have been tricked at that time.

Gaia tapped her temple with one hand, she was careless.

……

After the students solved the hidden dangers, they were not careless, but still arranged people to patrol in an orderly manner.

Strangely, Gaia didn't seem to take advantage of this opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Let them enjoy a rare night of peace.

The next day, people resting in the camp were awakened by a scream.

Everyone woke up quickly, followed the sound, and found dead fish, large and small, whitish floating on the river.

It turns out that Gaia has a back-up plan.

Use the forehead protector to plunge yourself into civil strife, and continuously send clones during the day to interfere with the efficiency of our food collection.

Then poison them and completely cut off our food source.

When we get into civil strife due to the shortage of foreheads and food, Gaia is absolutely no match.

Nara Shikahisa looked up at the sky without a trace of the sun, and shook his head.

If everything goes according to Gaia's plan, then this kind of weather that is suitable for the opponent's blood avatar may be the last day of the assessment.

But unfortunately, I have seen through your tricks.

The hidden danger of civil unrest has been solved, as for food... There is also a solution.

"Set fire to the mountain." After Nara Shikahisa and his companions cleared out an open space, they began to set fire in the forest in a planned way.

Wildfires began to spread gradually in the death forest.

Under the arrangement of Nara Deer Blossom, the flames spread throughout the death forest in only three hours.

Countless giant trees were burning fiercely in the raging fire, and pieces of woods fell down in the flames...

……

"Huh? What's going on?" Waiting until midnight, Gaia, who had just rested for a while after finding out that Kosuke Maruhoshi had indeed poisoned, suddenly realized something.

Gaia, who emerged from the underground secret room, looked at the surrounding trees that had started to burn, with question marks in her head.

fire?Not so...

Or is it that the students want to find their own position in this way.

The arsonist should really be locked up and let him know that setting fire to the mountain will put him in prison!

Without the shelter of the trees, it is really not easy to hide, and... there is another key factor, that is, after the wildfire burns, the remaining ashes will cause the temperature in the entire forest to rise a lot.

This also made his blood avatar useless at all.

Is it unintentional?Or is it premeditated?

If it's the latter, it's really interesting.

Gaia got up quickly, and started running towards the high tower in the middle of the forest while the fire was still not strong.

He is alone, but he doesn't have the ability to clear out a vacuum area in which he can hide in a short time.
