Chapter 495 Stealing Corpses

Sora didn't seem to want to answer Kakashi's question either as he still had that arrogant look.

Looking at him, it was like seeing Sasuke as a child.

At this time, Chiriku also asked: "Sora, why are you here? Today is not your duty for patrolling. At this time, you should have rest in the Zen room."

Sora won't answer the others' question, but Chiriku is the abbot of the Fire Temple, and he had watched Sora grow up from an early age, so Sora respected him very much.

Therefore, Sora would not fail to answer Chiriku's question.

"Abbot-sama, I came here to find some clues. After all, I'm the one who found those people."

"You fool, with the strength of those people, even if you find out about their location, you will be killed in vain!"

"But..."

"Okay, stop messing around. I have entrusted this matter to Konoha's Shinobi, so you don't need to worry about it."

"We're relying on them? Is it okay?" Sora expressed his doubts.

But turning his head to look at the shattered stone, he felt that they might be able to do something.

'Not to mention the others, just the silver-white haired man is terribly strong.'

"Hey, what do you mean by that! Don't you believe in our strength?" Naruto said angrily.

"It's hard to say about the others, but you, a coward, must be unreliable." Sora taunted.

Obviously, the scene of everyone's mischief just now was seen by Sora.

"What did you say!"

"I say, you are a coward!"

"Damn it! You really deserve a punch!" Naruto rolled up his sleeves and wanted to attack Sora.

"Come, I won't lose to a coward like you."

Seeing that the two are about to fight, Kakashi said at this moment: "Okay, Naruto, you should stop messing around."

"You too, Sora."

"Yes, Kakashi-sensei."

"Yes, abbot-sama."

Naruto and Sora had to give up when they heard this, but they glanced at each other, then snorted and turned their heads.

Kakashi felt a little helpless when he saw this, 'Is this two enemies in their previous life? How can they quarell as soon as they met?'

"Sora, follow us first, and then, we will go back together later." Chiriku said.

This place is some distance away from the Fire Temple. Now there are unknown Shinobi around the Fire Temple, it is too dangerous for Sora to go back alone.

Therefore, Chiriku chose to take Sora with them as it is safer.

"Yes, abbot-sama!" Sora said excitedly.

He originally thought that he would be told to go back by Chiriku, but he didn't expect to be able to stay.

Sora came out this time to investigate those unknown Shinobi.

He felt that this was the information he had discovered, and he had the responsibility to investigate it clearly.

But what he didn't expect was that not long after he came, he saw the abbot Chiriku coming with a few strange people.

Sore subconsciously chose to hide, because he knew that if he was discovered by Chiriku, he would be scolded.

He didn't expect that it didn't take long before he was discovered.

'I clearly didn't show any flaws when hiding.'

Thinking of this, Sora couldn't help but look at Kakashi again. 'How did he find me?'

"This cemetery is not big. We should work in pairs and find clues separately. If any of you find clues, yell immediately," Kakashi said.

"Yes!"

Then, Sasuke and Sakura were in a group, Naruto and Sai were in a group, Chiriko and Sora were in a group, and Kakashi was by himself. Everyone then scattered around.

After Kakashi saw that everyone has left, he bites his right thumb, and blood instantly ooze out.

He then formed hand seals with both of his hands!

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" (Summoning Technique)

Bang!

"Yo, Kakashi."

"Pakkun, can you smell something strange around here?"

"No problem."

Pakkun said, and then ran out, looking for clues.

Kakashi stood up and looked around. 'This place is really gloomy.'

'Just, why would anyone come to the cemetery to find something? What are they looking for?'

'There will be no good things buried in here.'

'And some of the corpses maybe have become skeletons.'

'Wait, the corpses?'

Kakashi eyes lit up as he seemed to think of something.

At this moment, a scream came from a distance.

"Aaah!"

Kakashi was taken aback, and hurriedly ran over the direction of the scream.

"That voice is Naruto. Is he in danger?"

The rest of the people also heard this voice and ran over immediately.

In just a few moments, Kakashi has already arrived at Naruto's location.

He then saw that Naruto was screaming and running, and behind him, there's a bunch of green flames that followed after him, which looked quite strange.

On the side, Sai also had a solemn face, because in front of him, there were also several clusters of green flames.

"This is..." Kakashi was slightly surprised.

"Kakashi-sensei! There are ghosts! Look, those are hitodama!"

Naruto screamed loudly when he saw Kakashi, and then ran over towards him.

Hiding behind Kakashi, Naruto instantly felt safe.

At this time, the others have also arrived. Looking at the scene in front of them, they were surprised.

"What is that?" Sakura asked in surprise.

Sasuke frowned slightly as he was also somewhat puzzled.

Those green flames looked very strange.

After Kakashi observed it for a moment, he said, "Well, Naruto, this is just a natural phenomenon, not a hitodama."

"Natural phenomenon?" Naruto asked in confusion.

Hearing this, the others also looked at Kakashi.

"There are a large number of corpses in the cemetery. And the bones in the corpse contain phosphorus. When the corpse decomposes in the soil, phosphorus will produce phosphorus oxide when it reacts with water or alkali. This kind of thing has a very low ignition point, and the weather is very hot and dry now, so it burns right now. As for why it follows you, it is because its mass is very light, and the air flow caused by your running will make it follow after you."

After listening to this, Naruto's expression became even more confused.

And, Sakura and the others looked thoughtful.

Seeing Naruto who was still confused, Kakashi felt a little helpless, 'This guy's theory ability is really bad. Making him understand something like this is like teaching a pig to fly.

"You just need to know that this thing is not a ghost."

Kakashi said and then stepped forward to the place where the hitodama gathered.

Looking down, Kakashi couldn't help but frown.

"This is..."

Kakashi squatted down and touched the dirt.

'This soil seems strange. Has this place been recently dug up?'

Thinking about this, Kakashi then asked Chiriku: "Chiriku-san, whose graveyard is here?"

"It's Nauma's and the others'."

Hearing Chiriku's answer, Kakashi secretly thought, 'Sure enough,' then, he quickly formed hand seals.

"Doton: Retsudo Tenshō!" (Earth Release: Tearing Earth Turning Palm)

The ground in front of Kakashi split instantly, exposing the contents inside.

Chiriku was shocked, apparently did not expect Kakashi to suddenly dig the grave.

"Kakashi-san, what are you doing!"

Chiriku called and ran over. The ones buried here are all his former comrades-in-arms, so it is a bit too much for their graves to be dug out.

"Look."

When Chiriku heard this, he immediately looked over.

Then his pupils shrank.

It was empty and there was nothing inside.

"How could this be? Where are Nauma and the others? I obviously buried them here myself." Chiriku said in surprise.

"Just now, I saw that the soil in this cemetery was all new mud, so I guessed that this cemetery should have been dug up recently. As expected, there's nothing inside the graves."

"Damn it, who is the one stealing Nauma and the others' corpses!" Chiriku was really angry at this moment.

Years of meditation can't offset his anger at this time.

Kakashi narrowed his eyes and said, "Probably, those unknown Shinobi are here to steal the corpses."
