Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 54 Accident
By the time Hui Li and the other person arrived at the scene, the fire had already been successfully contained.

Neighbors, dressed in pajamas and slippers, gathered in twos and threes to watch. An unknown ninja passing by spat out a stream of water, completely extinguishing the stubborn flames inside the house.

“Kai is back…”

Matt Kai's hurried return caused a commotion, with the crowd spontaneously making way for him.

There's actually no need to give way.

Even from a great distance, Matt Kai could already see the billowing black smoke.

Step over the crowd.

Kara!

The charred wooden door was washed away by the water and crashed onto the stone platform in front of it.

Inside, it was both burned and soaked in water, like a honeycomb that had been ignited by flames and then submerged in water.

Matt Kai stared blankly at his house, now a ruin, then clutched his head and collapsed to his knees. A wave of remorse pounded against his brain like a series of heavy hammer blows.

Hui Li felt that Might Guy, kneeling on the ground, was perfectly suited to a background music with snowflakes falling.

That's horrible!
He was deceived in love, his secret techniques were stolen, he was morally blackmailed, and his house was burned down.

Even Gray Glass, the instigator, couldn't stand it anymore. He stepped forward and patted Might Guy on the shoulder:

"It's okay, Kai, don't be sad. I'll just buy you another house."

Might Guy stiffly turned around and looked at Gray, who was still comforting him, his expression almost tearful: "Gray, all your money is in there."

thump.

Upon hearing this, the silver-haired, blind girl who had just been comforting others also collapsed to the ground.

He rolled his eyes, unwilling to give up, and continued to patrol the ruins.

The floor tiles, baked by the high temperature, developed crystalline patterns, and the edges of the charred wooden doors and windows were completely cracked. In such an environment, cash and banknotes were burned to ashes by the fire.

Because she lacked proper identification, all her banknotes were anonymous, and she couldn't even report them lost.

How many billions was that again?

Gray Glass's mind was buzzing.

In her past life, Hui Li was terrified of poverty. The thought of that spendthrift Kai burning through hundreds of millions of dollars made her heart ache so much she could hardly breathe.

He gave the 100,000 yuan in cash in his pocket to the owner of the ninja tool shop as a deposit for purchasing shadow clones.

Now, the Shadow Clone Technique is not paid for the final installment, and all the money he got from Peichuan Port to cover future expenses is gone!

She suddenly went from being a billionaire to a blind beggar sleeping on the streets.

"Hui Li, are you... are you alright?!"

Overwhelmed with grief, Might Guy turned to look at Gray with concern. He had never seen such despair on Gray's usually calm and intelligent face.

"Can you forgive me? Or... or you can hit me, I promise I won't fight back!"

Matt Kai's voice, which he was just learning, was so irritating.

Hui Li was so angry that his fists hardened.

The happier you are when you're morally blackmailing others, the more suffocating you feel when it's your turn.

Is this a boomerang?
Those who harm others will ultimately harm themselves. Ah Kai, I don't owe you anything anymore.

boom!
The surging water swirled and spread around Gray Glass, like two winding whips.

Matt Kai closed his eyes in remorse, awaiting the impending blow.

wow-

The water whip lashed violently at the ruined house, extending through the collapsed door frame and into the interior.

The expected attack never came.

Matt Kai opened his eyes in confusion.

"for you."

Hui Li, looking annoyed, wrapped a familiar photo frame in water and handed it to him.

The outer edge of the frame was charred, but the photo inside was undamaged except for being slightly yellowed.

"This……"

Matt Kai took the photo of himself and his father with delight, then looked up at Gray Glass, and was so moved that he couldn't speak for a moment.

"You owe me a billion. Prepare to work for me for the rest of your life to pay off your debt!"

Seeing Gray raise his hands, palms facing outwards, as if about to unleash Dust Release, Might Guy almost cried. After a long silence, he could only nod heavily in resignation.

……

"So, you mean... you want to stay at my house for a few days?" Kakashi, who was squatting at home slurping instant noodles, looked at Might Guy leading the blind girl he had been monitoring for the past few days, standing in front of him, crying and pleading. He scratched his head helplessly.

As the head and sole member of the Hatake clan, he was indeed capable of taking on the role of this 'father and daughter'.

The key is……

Kakashi's only exposed dead fish right eye looked at the blind girl standing behind Might Guy, whose eyes were completely covered.

He felt unsafe letting unidentified people into his home.

You absolutely have to help me!

Seeing Kakashi hesitate, Might Guy, with snot running down his face, had his thick eyebrows forming a pitiful inverted V shape.

Single parent with a child, living in abject poverty, and burdened with an additional debt of one billion yuan, his life was already teetering on the brink of collapse.

Seeing that Might Guy's snot was about to fall, Kakashi had no choice but to agree in his predicament:
"I do have a few empty rooms in my house, okay!"

"That's fantastic! Kakashi, you truly are my best friend!!"

Might Guy jumped up excitedly, grabbed Kakashi's arm, and shook it vigorously.

"Alas..."

Kakashi quickly covered the instant noodle cup with his hand in disgust, afraid that Might Guy's snot would get inside.

Hui Li was at a loss for words in the face of this situation.

After Might Guy reluctantly accepted the 1 billion yen debt, the flames were completely extinguished by a kind-hearted water-style ninja. Soon after, Konoha officials arrived to investigate the situation.

The fire did not spread very far.

The incident mainly occurred at Akai's own home, and there were no casualties.

The neighbors did not suffer any losses, but the houses were damp due to the subsequent water rescue.

Ah Kai usually gets along well with his neighbors.

Out of consideration for Ah Kai's impoverished circumstances and the fact that he had to raise a blind girl, everyone only complained a few times and did not pursue the matter further, nor did they demand compensation.

It's a blessing in misfortune.

At last.

The house is uninhabitable.

With little money left and starving, Might Guy had no choice but to take her to the Hatake clan's territory to seek help from his friend Kakashi.

Hairi is certainly no stranger to Kakashi Hatake.

Konoha technician, copy ninja, Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan, nicknamed "Hatake 50/50".

She instantly realized the opportunity.

At the Ninja Tool Hall, she discovered that she possessed all five nature transformations, a rare treasure, and was simply lacking a good ninjutsu teacher.

Kakashi is proficient in all five natures and knows thousands of ninjutsu.

Isn't this like bringing a pillow when you're about to fall asleep?

"What...would you like to eat?"

Kakashi quickly shoveled down two mouthfuls of instant noodles, then glanced at Might Guy, who was staring longingly at the noodle cup in his hand, and realized that the two poor guys hadn't eaten dinner yet.

"What do you have at home?" Matt Kai asked, rubbing his hands together.

Kakashi thought about the food supplies at home: "...only instant noodles."

"Okay, give me five packs of instant noodles."

Matt Kai raised his hands; after a long day of training and the events of the night, his stomach was churning.

Kakashi put down the instant noodle cup he was holding and started rummaging through drawers and cabinets:

"There's so much, can the two of you finish it?"

"This is mine."

"What about Gray Glass?"

Faced with Kakashi's question, Hui Li thought for a moment, not wanting to scare him on their first visit, and said after a little consideration: "Let's not eat too much tonight, let's start with ten buckets."

Kara!

Kakashi pulled a box of instant noodles from under the cupboard and froze. Turning around, he saw two overly familiar, lazy bums already sitting on the table, eagerly waiting.

Sudden……

I don't really want to take them in anymore.
