The attack on the Fire Daimyo's Residence spread to every nation at once.
The Land of Fire was the wealthiest country. Its troops were strong and its horses sturdy, yet before two powerful ninja, the family guards were like bubbles, shattering at the slightest touch.
The repercussions of this incident were far from over.
At the Fire Daimyo's Residence, the daimyo had just recovered from his fright when he saw his home engulfed in flames. Humiliated and enraged, he roared:
"Which bastard dared to burn down my home?! Konoha Ninja! I demand that you catch the culprit immediately! If you cannot find the criminal, cut this year's expenses in half!"
Quite a few people were implicated by this matter, especially ninja within the Land of Fire. Whether they were Konoha Ninja or wandering ninja, all of them had to submit to investigation.

But the identities of those wandering ninja were more or less questionable, and there was no way they would allow themselves to be investigated. Numerous conflicts consequently erupted between the two sides.
Had the Konoha Ninja not arrived in time, the entire Land of Fire might have descended into even greater unrest. For a time, everyone was on edge, terrified of being falsely accused and thrown into prison.
"I wonder which reckless fool dared to attack the Daimyo's Residence. Is even the city unsafe now?"
"We should leave this troubled place quickly. Two people were enough to overturn the nobles. Suddenly, these nobles do not seem all that impressive."
"Keep your voice down. If you want to die, do not drag me down with you."
Amid this turmoil, Muzan and Haku returned at once, though numerous hidden lines had been laid along the roads
