Throughout the entire process.
Uchiha Kuo's attack had been witnessed directly by Kusagakure's patrolmen, leaving them utterly unable to stop it or call for help.
Throughout the entire process, Uchiha Kuo formed seals with one hand, forming only a single seal, and attacked with a Fire Style known for its speed and explosive force—the Dragon Fire Technique.
The instant squad captain Cao Siren opened his mouth, the scorching flames had already sealed off every sound wave he could have transmitted.
In but a moment, he and his teammates had been turned into charred husks, their fluids burned dry, blackened lumps of useless waste.
Amid roaring flames and deafening explosions, the once quiet and peaceful little village instantly descended into chaos and panic.
The raging inferno ravaged every corner of the village like a demon, mercilessly devouring all life and property. The terrifying blaze unleashed by the fire dragon's explosion was like the coming of doomsday, bringing endless disaster.
In an instant, countless villagers screamed as they died, and the entire ninja village seemed to have become a living hell.
"Gods! Who could be so outrageously bold as to attack our Kusagakure? Does he truly not fear death? Everyone, move at once! Search with all your might for those damned attackers!" Kusagakure's village chief, Grass Awn, roared himself hoarse, his fury blazing. While ordering everyone to search for the attacker, he also activated the village's emergency combat preparations.
Throughout the whole process, he himself did not go out.
Rather than rushing out himself to face an unknown enemy brazen enough to challenge an entire ninja village alone—
It was better to wait until all the ninja in the village had gathered, found the so-called intruder, and then attacked together.
No matter how weak Kusagakure was, it was still a ninja village.
