Escape From Konoha Chapter 299

  Chapter 299 Prelude

  A convoy is heading towards Shayin Village.

  The sand ninjas who were carrying out protection work around the convoy glanced around vigilantly. Every sand ninja became sensitive and began to check the surrounding environment to avoid accidents on the way back to the hidden sand village.

   At this moment, a sharp-eyed sand ninja suddenly looked at the sky, and found a black spot gradually enlarged in his field of vision, his face immediately changed drastically, and he shouted loudly:

   "Enemy attack, prepare to fight!"

  After he shouted this sentence, the rest of the sand ninjas also noticed this and took action one after another.

  The two sand ninjas closest to the convoy took out their scrolls and summoned a beetle puppet with a feathered blade and a huge salamander puppet from the scrolls.

  When the black spot passed over the convoy, a violent gust of wind suddenly rolled up on the sand, and the sand hit the window of the car, making loud noises.

   Sand Shinobi, who controls the giant salamander puppet, immediately unfolded the shield on the back of the salamander, blocking the raging sand and protecting the carriage behind him.

  The beetle puppet with the feathered blade was also under the control of the puppeteer at this time, rattled and rattled, rushed into the sky, and fought against the enemies of the raid convoy.

   It was a petite girl in a shrine maiden costume.

  In the pupils of inorganic matter, it gives people the feeling of a dead object.

  As for this girl who appeared in the air, many sand ninjas would not be able to forget this hateful face.

  Although the name is unknown, it is undoubtedly one of the minions belonging to the army of the ghost country.

  Belongs to the dangerous criminals that Sahid focuses on guarding against.

  The beetle's limbs were exposed with a sharp blue poisonous blade, aiming at the body of the Sky Feather Girl, it was slashing down hard, mercilessly, in an attempt to kill her with one blow.

  The storm barrier formed by Tianyu Girl around her body directly blocked the blade. You could hear the blade being attacked by the storm, and there was a slight sound of breaking in the middle.

boom!

  The Featherblade Beetle puppet flew back backwards, but under the skillful control of the puppeteer, during the process of flying backwards, it readjusted its posture and quickly flapped the Featherblade wings behind it.

   A blade coated with toxin was shot at Tianyu girl, and it slammed into the storm barrier, and the storm barrier was also on the verge of breaking under the combo of the blade.

  When Tian Yunu saw this scene, her body floated backwards, easily getting herself out of danger.

  Her focus is always on the carriage surrounded by sand ninjas. The things inside should be very important to sand ninjas.

   Otherwise, they wouldn't have tried so hard to protect the carriage.

  Thus, a scroll immediately fell from the white sleeve of Tian Yu Nu and landed in her hand.

  The faces of the sand ninjas changed drastically when they saw this scene.

   "Be careful! It's a fusion attack of Wind Dun and Fire Dun!"

  Even though they knew what Sky Feather Girl was going to release next, they had absolutely no ability to stop each other.

  Even the beetle puppet that can fly freely in the air is inferior to the Sky Feather Girl in terms of mobility.

  After all, a puppet is a dead thing after all, unless it is a top puppeteer who can change this disadvantage from basic techniques.

  According to Tian Yunv's knowledge, among Sand Yin, only Chiyo, the former Sand Yin high-level consultant who has retired, has such an operation method.

  As the sand ninjas expected, Tianyu girl opened the scroll that fell out of her sleeve, and immediately summoned a steady stream of fire sources from the scroll. Cooperating with Tianyu girl's own wind escape ninjutsu, it directly formed a sea of ​​​​fire in the air and spread towards the sand.

  The fire was raging, shining on the faces of every sand ninja, making them feel the hot power brought by the flames, their skin became hot, and their mouths were dry.

   "Don't underestimate Sand Shinobu!"

  Under the control of another puppeteer, the huge salamander fish stood in front of the carriage, erected a huge shield, split the sea of ​​fire, and flowed past both sides of the carriage without causing any damage to the carriage.

   "This puppet is a large-scale shield puppet transformed based on the artwork created by the talented stylists of our Sand Ninja Puppet Troop. It can be protected from water and fire, and even the artillery of your ghost country can easily resist it. I advise you not to waste your energy."

  When he said this, the puppeteer showed a very confident smile on his face, and he had very high confidence in the Sanjiao puppet he controlled.

  Nv Tianyu didn't even blink her eyes, she seemed surprised by the puppet's defensive power.

  However, Tian Yu Nu soon swooped down and rushed towards the salamander puppet.

   "Stupid! It is said that your attack is ineffective against my puppet!"

  The puppet master saw Tianyu girl's swooping down, and wondered if the other party's brain was stimulated because the attack was blocked, so she made such an irrational move.

   But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore.

  Nv Tian Yu's body flew along the horizon quickly, and a more violent storm was generated around her body than before, blowing up all the sand and soil in the entire area.

"Oops!"

  It seems that she also knows what Tianyu girl's plan is, and it is too late for the puppet master to stop it.

  The giant salamander and all the sand under the chassis flew into the sky, like a kite with a broken string, falling towards the distance.

   The puppeteer wanted to jump back to dodge, Tian Yunu quickly grabbed his shoulders and flew into the air with him.

   The puppeteer let out a cry of panic, and the convoy on the ground, in his eyes, had become the size of a sesame seed.

  Nv Tianyu let go of her palm without hesitation, allowing the puppeteer to fall freely in the air facing the sand below.

  The puppeteer's face was pale, and he completely lost his ability to think. He had already anticipated the horrible scene where he would fall to pieces on the sand and die.

  At this time, the beetle puppet flew from a distance under the control of another puppeteer, and the puppet master who fell to the sand sat down on the back of the beetle puppet, panting heavily, feeling lucky to survive the catastrophe.

   Tian Yunu didn't care about these, or she had already expected such a result.

  Taking this opportunity to land from the sky, she clasped her hands together and glanced indifferently at the sand ninjas on the sand, as well as the carriage under the protection of the sand ninjas. A large amount of chakra and natural energy began to gather.

  A large expanse of white light directly enveloped the sky.

  Sound, picture, dissolve in the white light and disappear.

   At the same time, the sand on the sandy ground undulates under some powerful force, like waves.

  Boom!

   Two powerful energies produced a violent explosion in the collision.

  The air vibrated, and the invisible shock wave was repelled in all directions. Although many sand ninjas rolled out on the sand, they were lucky enough to save their lives.

   Grains of sand rain down from the sky.

  The mild wind blows over the sand, giving people a pleasant comfort.

  No matter how terrible the wind is, after raging, it will eventually return to silence.

   "Ahem!"

   There was a coughing sound, the carriage was torn apart, and the person inside rolled out. It was a man with a pale face and weak breath, barely standing, panting.

  He had a bandage wrapped around his chest, and the wound that was still healing had recurred after the strong ninja exercise just now, staining the bandage red.

  He twisted his face in great pain, as if he was trying his best to endure the injuries in his body, while staring at the Sky Feather Girl in the sky with resentful and unwilling eyes, as if resenting her for discovering his decline.

   This man is none other than the Fourth Kazekage Rasa.

  Suddenly, Luo Sha coughed up blood, and knelt down on the sand with one knee, but still raised his chin stubbornly, and looked at the sky feather girl in the sky, as if he didn't want to expose his weakness as one of the five shadows in front of the enemy.

  After confirming that the other party was Luo Sha herself, Tian Yunu saw Sand Ninja who was protecting Luo Sha once again, and the two puppet masters also launched a battle, ready to fight.

  After a little hesitation, Tianyu girl flew up into the sky, flew towards the distance, and disappeared from the sand ninjas' sight.

  The sand ninjas breathed a sigh of relief.

  Although they still have the power to fight, they don't want to entangle the enemy more in this situation.

   "Master Kazekage, are you alright?"

  A sand ninja came up and asked worriedly.

   "It's okay... Go back to the village as soon as possible. In order to prevent them from attacking us again, we need to change the route back to the village."

  Luo Sha gritted her teeth and said with all her might.

  But he was secretly happy in his heart. In this way, the country of ghosts should also believe that he, Kazekage, is seriously injured at this moment.

  If you want to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive your own people. The sand ninjas here don't even know his arrangement.

  Only in this way can the trick be performed realistically, and the enemy will fall headlong into the trap he has carefully arranged.

   No matter how cautious the enemy is, it is impossible to expect his serious injury to be part of the surprise attack plan.

  And this plan is arranged together with Konoha.

  The Kingdom of Demons never expected this, and they didn't know that Sand Shinobi had already figured out the reality behind the Kingdom of Demons. The Hinata Ayane who overwhelmed Raikage, one of the Five Kages, was not on the front line. For Sand Yin, this was a godsend opportunity.

  Being able to die in the same trap as the three generations of Raikage back then, for these rebels, Luo Sha believes that this luxurious funeral can already highlight the magnanimity of a big country.

  The gradual retreat of Shayin has brought great panic to the local residents in the northwest region of the Kingdom of Wind.

  Before the war with the ghost country broke out, the people of the wind country did not have a pessimistic attitude towards this war.

  Even if the attack is not good at the beginning, but after being serious, the ninjas of Sand Hidden Village should quickly defeat the ninja army of the ghost country with a destructive attitude.

  Unfortunately, such a thing only exists in the fantasy of the residents in the northwestern region of the Kingdom of Wind.

  With the further conflicts in the war, Shayin Village retreated steadily. Kazekage Luosha was seriously injured in the battle with the rebels, and has been sent back to Shayin Village to recuperate.

   Such rumors are not groundless. Under the deliberate propaganda of the Kingdom of Ghosts, the residents of the northwest region of the Kingdom of Winds spend their days in fear.

  Although I think such news is false, how could a big shot from the Five Kages lose to a ninja from a small country?

   But with the passage of time, Fengying Luosha disappeared from the frontline battlefield, and Sayin kept retreating. Under the fierce pursuit of the ghost country, she had already retreated to the border of the northwest region. Such news cannot be faked.

   If the retreat continues, the entire northwest region will fall and be invaded by the kingdom of ghosts.

  So, the retreat of Sha Yin naturally caused panic among the residents in the northwestern region of the Kingdom of Wind.

  The Land of Winds is a sparsely populated country, and the economic development in most places is not very good, especially the northwest region, which is one of the poorest areas in the Land of Winds.

   There are hardly any decent large towns, but scattered villages, where the locals live on a small amount of food and water.

  Because there is no money to hire ninjas to clean up the bandits, the problem of banditry in the northwestern region of the Kingdom of Wind has not been effectively improved.

  And now they not only have to face the increasingly serious problem of banditry, but also face the ninjas of the ghost country who are more terrifying than bandits.

  They have all heard the cruelty of war.

  The ninjas in Hidden Sand Village have already retreated, completely abandoned them, and lost their land to the ninjas of the ghost country who invaded the country of wind. It is conceivable that the butcher knives of the ninjas in the ghost country will swing down from their heads soon, plundering their lives, robbing their belongings and women, and finally burning their villages to the ground.

   Therefore, when the Sand Hidden troops began to withdraw from the northwest region, many residents had already started to move their families to towns in the hinterland of the Kingdom of Wind to avoid being poisoned by the ninjas of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

  However, when the ninjas of the ghost country passed by, it was another situation.

  Because the ghost country troops advancing to the southern part of the country of the wind completely ignored the low-level people of the country of the wind who had no power to restrain the chickens, and just built a military base on their own and quickly built the defense project.

   Majestic and eye-catching base buildings rise up in the desert. These later-built bases are branches of the main base and serve as warnings and protections for the main base.

  However, as the war gradually transitioned to a fierce stage, under the command of Shiraishi, the Ninja Troop of the Demon Country was also split into several squadrons and stationed in branch bases.

   Guarantee that each branch base can have a sufficient force of two hundred ninjas in the initial investment.

  So many base buildings are built on the desert, even the local residents can't hide it, let alone the Sand Ninja reconnaissance team who often wander around the edge of the cordon.

  Although their Kazekage has been seriously injured and needs to return to Sand Hidden to heal and recuperate, it does not mean that Sand Hidden Ninjas will give up and directly hand over the land of the Wind Kingdom.

   "This is the last area in the northwest of the Kingdom of Wind, and it is an important resource area. It must be taken down."

  In a branch base on the front line, Baishi pointed to the northwest boundary on the map of the Kingdom of Wind, which is an extremely rare oasis in the desert environment of the Kingdom of Wind.

  In the land of the wind where the desert is becoming more severe, the water sources, vegetation and crops in the oasis are all precious and incomparable wealth.

  It can meet the self-sufficiency of local residents, and can effectively relieve the pressure of water and food shortage in the land of wind.

   But for the kingdom of ghosts, it is also a rare and rich resource area, which has great development and utilization value.

   "When to attack?"

   Liuli is not very interested in resource utilization in the area, she is only responsible for fighting.

   "The next day after the air force from the headquarters arrives here, the attack can be launched. The specific time is 10 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow."

   "What about the attack method? Is it still the same as before?"

   Liuli asked.

   "No, there is no need for a feint attack this time. This is the last attack. After such a long stalemate, it is time to draw a perfect end to this war. I believe Sha Yin has also made reasonable arrangements. There is no need to procrastinate."

   Liuli nodded, and understood Shiraishi's hidden meaning.

  Shiraishi continued: "So, you and I will be the bait this time, and it doesn't matter if we use our full strength."

   Liuli was a little surprised.

   "I thought you would let me continue to hide my strength and reserve some means. After all, the guys in Akatsuki may monitor the battlefield here and collect our intelligence."

  Although Akatsuki and Akatsuki have reached a truce agreement, it does not mean that the two sides will not collect intelligence on each other.

  To the extent conditions permit, to collect as much information as possible about the other party is also an undisclosed unspoken rule in the agreement.

  The battle between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Ghosts is so loud, and the international repercussions are also very strong, it is impossible for Akatsuki's people not to come to collect information.

   "This is a problem, but if you keep your strength in the next battle, it will inevitably lead to another accident. Even you, it is impossible to deal with such a huge force at once."

   "Well, I'll be more careful."

   Liuli did not refute.

  She won't say such unrealistic nonsense that one person can solve Sand Ninja and Konoha.

  Although Susano is strong, it also consumes Chakra extremely. Turning on Susano for a long time is a huge test for Chakra.

  Especially in the fourth stage of Susanoo, it will also have an extremely heavy load on her body.

   Even if the Kaleidoscope Sharingan is turned on, this problem cannot be avoided fundamentally.

  Quick battles can only be implemented in theory. In actual combat, theoretical calculations may mislead one's own judgment, thus allowing the enemy to take advantage.

  Ninjas master all sorts of strange techniques, and their strengths vary. The data calculated in theory can only be used as a reference, and cannot be directly applied to actual combat.

  Baishi acts as a 'bait' with her, and the pressure on her body will also be reduced.

   "Please, next, I will leave it to you to command. I will go to the basement to check the operation of the operation, so as to avoid accidents during the battle the day after tomorrow."

   Liuli nodded and watched Shiraishi leave the conference room.

  Two days later, at nine o'clock in the morning.

  The three of Lu Jiu who left the kingdom of ghosts enjoyed breakfast in the morning tea room near the hotel.

  Since they came to the Kingdom of Ghosts, they have been in communication with Konoha from the Kingdom of Fire every two days.

  Report the situation behind the Oni Country to Konoha's senior management at any time.

   As for these, the guards of the Kingdom of Ghosts did not stop them. As long as Lu Jiu and the other three did not show obvious attack intentions, the order given above was that they only needed to monitor, which gave Lu Jiu and others great room for manipulation.

   While eating breakfast, Lu Jiu estimated how far the situation on the frontline battlefield had progressed.

  Judging from the news sent back from the front line to the Kingdom of Ghosts, the ninja troops of the Kingdom of Ghosts are in full swing at this time, occupying the northwest region of the Kingdom of Wind at an extremely fast speed, and the Sand Hidden troops retreat steadily, greatly stabilizing the internal turmoil in the Kingdom of Ghosts.

  But unlike the jubilant citizens of the Ghost Country, what Lu Jiu saw was the potential hidden danger behind the victory of the Ghost Country.

  The country of ghosts is in full swing, which means that the arrangement on the side of Shayin has been launched, and the implementation effect is very good. The country of ghosts rushed forward under the inflated desire for victory. Although it successfully boosted morale, it also successfully stretched the front line.

   Once the battle line is stretched, it means that the defense force of the ghost country will become weak, which will eventually lead to the collapse of the entire battle situation, and it is easy to be cut off by Sand Hidden.

  The Konoha Squad hiding in the Kingdom of Wind will also become a sharp blade piercing the heart of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

  The time for Konoha to unsheath this sharp blade, in Lu Jiu's view, should be within two or three days.

   Delay too long, you will miss the best time.

   Fengying who can arrange such a perfect strategy is definitely not a person who is indecisive.

  Analyzed in this way, the outcome is decided.

   "Mr. Lujiu, good morning, Mr. Ding Zuo and Mr. Haiyi too."

  At this time, the laughter from the ear interrupted Lu Jiu's thinking.

  Lu Jiu put down the bread in his hand, looked up and saw Ayane walked into the morning tea room alone, and looked over with a smile.

  I don't know when, all the guests in the morning tea room left, even the boss and the clerk disappeared from the morning tea room.

  In the morning tea room, there were only four of them left.

   "What's the matter, Ms. Ayane? These days, we have all been honest and have not done anything out of the ordinary. Even you, who are in charge of the security forces of the Oni Land, can't be unreasonable and have no reason to arrest foreign envoys."

   Lu Jiu said jokingly.

   These days, he has figured out the structure of the upper layer of the ghost kingdom.

  The Uchiha clan controls the economic power of the Oni Land. The president of the Shionka Chamber of Commerce, a large international chamber of commerce, is a Uchiha clan member who is not recorded in the Konoha archives, and has inextricable relationships with Uchiha Ruri.

  As for Chiba Shiraishi, he is the commander-in-chief of the Oni Country's military, holding the most powerful military power in the Oni Country.

  As for the guards of each city and town, including the guards of Ziyuan City, the highest ranking officer is Ayane.

  But in the guard, not all the ninjas of the Hyuga clan, it is better to say that there are not many ninjas of the Hyuga clan in the guard, and there are mixed Uchiha and Uzumaki clan members, as well as civilian ninjas without ninja background.

  The composition system is very complicated.

   "Don't worry, I'm not that stingy yet, I'm just here to inform you two."

   "News? Is it news from the frontline battlefield?"

   Shikahisa stared at Ayane's face, trying to read something from her expression.

  Unfortunately, what I see is always a very professional fake smile face.

  Ayane smiled and said: "No, I'm here to tell Mr. Shikahisa that Tsunade-sama left Ziyuan City last night."

  The news came out of Ayane's mouth, and the three of Lu Jiu were stunned.

   "You said Tsunade-sama left Ziyuan City?"

   "Well, it's true, many people in the security team have seen it."

   "Did Tsunade-sama say where she's going next?"

   Lu Jiu hurriedly asked.

  He was smiling wryly in his heart, he didn't know why Tsunade made such a move, but undoubtedly, if Tsunade wasn't here to sit in charge, then Hinata Ayane, a dangerous existence, would have no way to restrict her and keep her in Ziyuan City.

   Once she is freed from the shackles and goes to the frontline battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind, it may become a new turning point in the battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind.

  Now I can only hope that Shayin will start action as soon as possible, and don't let new changes appear on the battlefield.

   "I didn't ask. After all, Tsunade-sama is Konoha's ninja. If I asked, it would be very rude, right? Besides, as Konoha ninjas, you should know the whereabouts of Tsunade-sama the most? As an outsider, how could I know such a thing?"

   I don't know if this counts as adding salt to Konoha's wound.

  In short, Lu Jiu felt the badness of Ayane's character.

   It's true that which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted.

  Seeing Lu Jiu's depressed face, Ayane didn't stop, and continued to laugh: "About the second news, I would like to congratulate you first."

"Congratulations?"

  Lu Jiu and the others looked at Ayane in doubt.

  Ayane smiled and nodded.

   "Yes, congratulations on successfully completing your mission in the Kingdom of Ghosts. After you have breakfast, you can leave Ziyuan City."

   "What mission? We are just following the orders of Hokage-sama and Daimyo to visit His Majesty the Priestess of the Oni Land. Did Ms. Ayane misunderstand something?"

  Lu Jiu didn't know if it was Ayane who was defrauding him. Before the next order from the village, he still felt that it was not appropriate to act rashly, so as not to let Ayane notice something.

   "Really? However, I think Mr. Shikahisa misunderstood what I just said. What I mean is, if you rush to the Land of Wind with all your strength now, you should be able to collect the corpses of the Konoha ninjas on the battlefield of the Land of Wind faster. If you understand, just leave."

   After saying this, Ayane left the morning tea room with a smile on her face.

   Lu Jiu and the three beside the dining table looked as if they were in an ice cave at this moment, their faces pale.
