Escape From Konoha Chapter 315

  Chapter 315 Daughter's time

   "I'm coming in."

  After knocking on the door, Ten Zang walked into the office from the outside without getting permission.

  Yakura, who was sitting at the desk and working, hadn't opened his mouth to speak yet, but Kami Ninaka, who was beside him, glared at Tozo with dissatisfaction.

   "Hey, this is the sacred place where Mizukage-sama works, and it's not a vegetable market. It's not advisable to come here wherever you want."

  As the elder Jonin in Kirigakure Village and the current Mizukage's right-hand man, Ao unceremoniously taught Juzo about his disrespectful behavior.

   "But, I came here only after receiving an order."

  Ju Zang said with a smile, completely ignoring Qing's lesson.

  Ao was about to continue talking, but Yakura interrupted Ao's speech, shook his head, and put down the work in hand.

   "Forget it, Qing, this guy's personality is like this, it's not a big deal."

  As long as you can add bricks and tiles to Wuyin Village, make contributions, and have a little personality, it will be a unique symbol of the strong.

  After all, Ten Zang is one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Wuyin Village, and as a Jōnin, he can be regarded as the veteran of Wuyin Village.

   "Thank you, Mizukage-sama, for being magnanimous. So, what's the matter with asking me? I'm about to lead the team to carry out the next mission."

   Tozo asked with a smile.

  Currently he is in a team of lower ninja, serving as a guide to the upper ninja.

  The difference is that the members of this ninja team are not ordinary guys.

   It's the bone vein again, it's from Bingdun again, and there is a little girl whose strength is even more unfathomable, maybe much stronger than herself.

   I really don't know where such a monster came from.

  Because there are no detailed records in the Ninja database of Wuyin Village.

  Yakura listened to Juzang's question, picked up the pen and tapped twice on the table, and then slowly said: “There is no rush to perform the task. As for the member of your team, Kazuhime Mahiru, I will separate her. In other words, I will find another ninja to replace her in your team.”

  Hearing what Yakura said, Tozo was slightly taken aback.

  Mahiru Kazuhime is the most monster in his ninja team.

  Obviously not a blood-successor limit ninja, but possesses powerful physical arts that are no less powerful than the Kaguya clan. He is also proficient in two types of escapism, fire escape and water escape, and can also use the extremely rare auditory illusion.

  Chakra is so much that Ten Zang doubts life a bit.

   Compared to Kisame Kisame, who has left Kirigakure, he might be more abundant.

  Juzo didn't know where Yakura got such a ninja.

   All I know is that Yakura was suddenly placed in the ninja school and started studying in the fourth grade. After that, he graduated from the school normally like the rest of the students.

  According to expectations, this year is likely to be directly promoted to Chunin.

   As a result, Yagura now asks the other party to be independent from his team?

   This made Shi Zang very confused.

   "Well, can I ask why, Mizukage-sama?"

   Tozo asked curiously.

  Yakura thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter if I tell you about this matter. Mahiru Kazuhime is a pseudonym. Her real name is Chiba Kazuhime. She is the daughter of Chiba Shiraishi, the military leader of the Demon Kingdom, and Uchiha Ruri. According to the agreement, the other party can leave Kirigakure."

  Shi Zang suddenly realized.

   As the elder, he has also dabbled in the matter of Kirigakure's secret alliance with the Ghost Kingdom.

   I just didn't expect that the other party had such a deep background.

  In this way, the other party is still a ninja who inherited the Uchiha clan's writing sharing eye blood succession limit boundary.

  If this is the case, the strength shown by the opponent now is probably far from its limit.

   "Regarding Chiba Kazuhime's identity, please keep it a secret. Currently, including you, there are no more than ten people in Wuyin Village who know about it. The files about her in the ninja school will also be completely deleted."

   "That's it, I understand."

   "Well, it's great that you can understand. Regarding the replacement of Chiba Kazuhime, the ninja who added to your team is called Onito Suigetsu. He is Manyue's younger brother, a member of the Onito clan, and an outstanding graduate of the school."

   Yagura said.

   "It's that brat, I have a little impression."

   Tozo clicked his tongue.

  Ghost lamp Shuiyue is an arrogant little devil who covets his beheading sword.

   It fell into his hands this time, but he had to 'train' him well.

  It's not good for Shinobu to be so arrogant.

   "Besides this, there is another thing."

  Yakura took out a document from the drawer.

  Tozo came over and took the document from Yakura.

   is an application.

  After seeing the above content, Ten Zang's eyes widened.

  Yakura smiled and said: "As you can see, this is a challenge application. Momochi in the village will not kill Jonin, and wants to initiate a fair duel with you to determine the ownership of the beheading sword. Ten Zang, what do you mean? Agree or refuse?"

  The masters of the seven ninja swords in Wuyin Village are not fixed.

  In the past, because of the system, the Seven Ninja Swords were often changed to different ninjas.

  But after Yagura came to power, the control of the Seven Ninja Swords became stricter.

  Although the challenge system has not changed and the winner holds the ninja sword, in order to be more fair and just, Mizukage will make official arrangements for the replacement battle of the seven ninja swords to host the competition.

   "Of course I don't have any objections. It's just a good time to teach the younger generation who is ignorant of the sky and the earth, and let him know how terrible the senior is."

  Ju Zang smiled maliciously, showing his sharp teeth, without any fear in his eyes.

   The beheading sword was taken from the previous sword master. Now that someone challenges him, he has no reason to be timid.

   This Kirigakure Jōnin called Momochi Zabuza is very courageous.

   "It's good that you don't have an opinion. However, Buzhan Jonin is very strong, and I am looking forward to the duel between you. The duel will be held in three days."

   Regarding this kind of thing, Yagura did not take sides.

  Although Juzang is the elder of the village, the beheading sword in his hand will be taken away by others one day.

  The alternation of old and new is the reason of natural existence.

   Just like his Mizukage position, sooner or later it will be transferred to the next generation of Mizukage.

   "Yes. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

   "Well, go, call Chiba Kazuhime, it's time for her to leave Wuyin Village. Keep her here, I'm worried that something will happen."

  Ju Zang nodded and walked out of the office.

  There are many things to be done in the Kingdom of Ghosts next.

   It is necessary to submit a diplomatic letter to the Land of Fire and send a mission to Konoha to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

  Now the rebels in the kingdom of ghosts have been "released" by Konoha, and they can no longer act in the same way as the rebels. In such a game, they must act according to the rules.

   There is also a truce and compensation agreement to be signed with Sand Hidden Village in Kazami Castle in the Land of Wind.

  The land one hundred and twenty miles north of Fengjian City belongs to the Kingdom of Ghosts.

   Also got the 13-year garrison right of Kazami Castle.

   Therefore, in the agreement, the Kingdom of the Winds was not required to make any compensation, as long as the loans owed in the past can be repaid in full and in a timely manner according to the interest.

  The remaining things can be dealt with later, and there is no rush.

  In the office, Shiraishi was sitting on the chair, and began to process documents related to negotiations with the Fire Country and Konoha.

  The main purpose of visiting Fire Country and Konoha this time is to fulfill the contract.

  After all, the Kingdom of Fire and Konoha are required to remove their renegade identities, and at the Five Kages Conference, they assisted the Kingdom of Oni to gain an advantage, and the next last deal—recovering the legacy of the Konoha Uchiha Clan, must be fulfilled.

   After completing these, the Kingdom of Oni will release Jiraiya and complete the agreement.

  Honestly speaking, Jiraiya is not a big threat to him. Although the celestial arts are very powerful, and the two sages summoned from Mt. Myoki seem to be very powerful, but the activation time is slow, and the two sages cannot leave Jiraiya's body. Shiraishi only feels that Jiraiya's sage mode is full of loopholes.

  In addition, Chiko's ability, to a certain extent, can limit Jiraiya's sage mode, and forcibly destroy the "balance" between Jiraiya and the two sages, making it impossible for Jiraiya to enter the sage mode.

  Therefore, there is another consideration in keeping it.

  With Jiraiya's karma, the pursuit of Orochimaru will sooner or later reveal the secret.

  Then, Nagato's identity might also be exposed.

  It may be feasible to have a direct conflict between Konoha and Akatsuki.

   When there is no way to determine the specific strength of Nagato, it is a feasible solution for Konoha to test it out.

   Right now, we are still working on envoys to the Fire Country and Konoha, and things like receiving the inheritance of the Uchiha clan will be handed over to Ruri.

   Therefore, Liuli will lead the missions to the Kingdom of Fire and Konoha.

  After processing the documents in this area, Baishi leaned back on the chair and took a long breath.

   "Next..."

  At this moment, there was an inaudible sound from the window, which made Baishi turn his head away.

  The moment he turned his head, with the vibration of the air, the sword wind stabbed towards his neck.

   Without any movement, the shadow dancer's shadow blade protruded from the shadows.

  Under the attack of the sword wind, a gap visible to the naked eye appeared on the hard shadow blade, barely blocking the sword wind, causing the attacker to retreat involuntarily, to a relatively safe place for Baishi.

  The Shadow Blade then made up for the gap, split into four, and cut towards the attacker's limbs respectively.

   "Stop."

  Baishi's voice sounded, and the Shadow Blade stopped attacking, and slowly retracted into the shadows.

  Shiraishi looked at the attacker. It was a young girl of twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a tight-fitting black attire with some inconspicuous blue-purple lines drawn on it.

  A head of long black hair, with an immature face, but already has a somewhat beautiful and awe-inspiring temperament. In the dark pupils, it seems to contain unmelted ice and snow, which is a bit indifferent.

   Facing this girl, Shiraishi's thoughts suddenly drifted back to the scene when he first saw Liuli at the Konoha Ninja School more than 20 years ago.

  The temperament and demeanor of this girl are very similar.

  A scabbard hung from the girl's waist, and she held an unsheathed blade in her hand. Even at a safe distance, Shiraishi could feel the sharpness of the blade, which made his eyes feel a little stinging.

  Baishi looked helplessly at the girl who wanted to 'assassinate' him, and said, "You don't need to come back and greet me in such an exaggerated way?"

   This girl is the daughter of him and Liuli, Chiba Kazuhime.

  As an 'international student' sent to Wuyin Village to study in the ghost country, it is almost the period of success and consummation.

   "But it still doesn't pose a threat to you, does it?"

   Seeing Shiraishi withdrawing his hand, Yiji had no choice but to put the blade back into the scabbard, without any sign of apologizing.

   Shiraishi was no stranger to this.

  If you were someone else, you would definitely not let him off easily.

  However, considering how cute my daughter is, I just forgive her.

   "I really can't do anything about you. Have you been there at home?"

   "Well, I just went back and took a look, and the two of them were fighting. You are really sinful, old man."

  Ichihime looked at Shiraishi with disdain.

  In the past, because she didn't understand these things, she always wondered about the relationship between her mother and Auntie Ayane.

  Why Auntie Ayane's child will be her and Asuka's brother or sister.

  But after growing up, with the increase of experience, some things will be understood naturally.

   "I've said it all, I'm only in my early thirties, and I'm not old yet."

   "Isn't it good to go home and live up to your old age? Or should I give you a ride?"

   Baishi sighed, not to dwell on this aspect.

   "Yakura asked you to come back, so there should be something for you."

  Ichihime took out a scroll from the ninja bag and put it on the table in front of Shiraishi.

  Baishi picked up the scroll, but didn't take it apart immediately, but threw it into the drawer next to it.

   "Where do you plan to work next?"

   Shiraishi asked this question.

   As for Ichihime's basic education courses, it has already ended, and I have also experienced a few months of formal ninja life in Wuyin Village. I must have accumulated some experience in performing tasks.

  But because of his request, there has been no one in Yagura's team, where Kazuhime is, to perform difficult tasks above B level.

   Even B-level tasks are rarely performed, and most of them are D-level and C-level tasks.

  Because in Shiraishi's view, these two levels of tasks are the closest to the real world.

   Missions of B-level and above, that is only a field that ninjas can touch.

  The country of ghosts is different from other countries. The welfare and security system for the domestic people has already polished the foundation, and the people, the government, and the military are closely combined.

   Instead of adopting the one-country-one-village system to manage the country like the five major countries.

  In Baishi's view, such a system has fatal flaws.

  Representing military power is seriously divorced from the popular base.

  Ninja Village is self-sufficient, and the source of soldiers is only generated from within the Ninja Village, and will not be drawn from the rest of the country.

  Ninja Village, which represents a country's military power, is connected with the outside world by means of money transactions.

  Outsiders pay, and Ninja Village pays for the ninja labor.

   It belongs to the trading transaction between merchants with clearing money and goods.

   Such a method cannot be said to be wrong, but too indifferent and too profit-oriented.

   Therefore, Baishi is not worried at all, how much the people in the northwest of the Kingdom of Wind will reject the Kingdom of Ghosts.

  Many ninjas were sacrificed in Hidden Sand Village, is it related to those people?

   Nothing!

  Their connection with Shayin belongs to the business transaction between merchants, and there is only money and interest transactions, without too deep a connection basis.

  Because the ninjas in Hidden Sand Village are all selected from within Hidden Sand Village.

  They will not expand their enrollment abroad, and form a huge network of relationships with people across the country.

  During the period when the Kingdom of Ghosts attacked the Kingdom of Wind, it did not cause any harm to the ordinary people. Even if they took over that part of the population, they would only be out of adaptive rejection, not hatred, and there would be resistance forces.

  The ninja troops of the Oni Land have always been selected from all over the Oni Land, and after formal training, they have formed a large scale, with a network of relationships spread all over the Oni Land.

  Sometimes, ordinary people who look inconspicuous and fragile are also the "eyes" of the ghost kingdom to monitor the enemy.

   Not only the local population of the ghost country, but a considerable part of the military troops of the ghost country are people from other countries.

  The country of fire, the country of earth, the country of rain, and even the country of wind also have proportions.

  Shiraishi hopes that the kingdom of ghosts will stick to this route and select the most elite ninjas from all over the country. People who cannot become ninjas can also engage in other businesses and contribute to the construction of the kingdom of ghosts.

  Shiraishi also hopes that Kazuki can take this route.

  Before reform, we must first clarify who is our friend and who is our enemy.

   This point, I believe Kazuki is already very clear.

  Konoha is a traditional one-country-one-village system.

  Wuyin Village is breaking away from such a system and starting to shift to the public route.

  The Kingdom of Ghosts has achieved such a basic goal.

  Three different types of countries, Kazuhime has personally used her own eyes and ears to see and hear.

  Hearing Shiraishi asking where she was going to work next, Yiji was also taken aback for a moment, knowing that this might be a tougher test than ever.

   And next, there will be big moves in the kingdom of ghosts.

  The Kingdom of Ghosts' footsteps will not stop arrogantly just after defeating the Kingdom of Winds and gaining the strength to make the rest of the big countries recognize the Kingdom of Ghosts.

  The next thing may be more difficult than defeating the sand hidden ninja in the land of wind.

  The one-country-one-village system established by the first generation of Hokage further stabilized the power of the daimyo and the nobility, and knocked the people down to dust unconsciously.

  Even if Ninja Village is merged into the country, the connection with the people still relies on 'employment' to maintain contact.

   Such a connection is fragile and extremely sad.

  People, that is a humble power that has never been developed by anyone.

  What they need is not love, but resistance, fighting, and taking back what belongs to them.

  My father Shiraishi is pioneering such a path.

  In the future, this is also the path she will follow her father's generation and stick to.

  Stand at the top of the world and take a look. This is a scenery that has never appeared in the ninja world for thousands of years.

  Baishi took out a map, on which the locations of the two small countries were marked.

   "Since you haven't made up your mind, let me choose for you, Tang Country and Wave Country, you choose a region, armaments and money, and I will prepare them for you. Within the range of these small countries close to the big countries, build up the power that belongs to 'our'. When the Fourth Ninja World War begins, they will become a sharp knife that pierces the heart of the big country!"

   "The Land of Waves?"

  Yi Ji looked at the map, the small island-shaped country between the land of water and the land of fire, thoughtfully.

  Although the Land of Waves is located between the two great nations of Water and Fire, it is closer to the Land of Fire.

  This small island-shaped country is likely to become a sharp knife for the kingdom of ghosts to deal with the kingdom of fire in the future, piercing the heart of the kingdom of fire.

   "Exactly."

   "What excuse do you want to enter?"

   Ichihime asked.

  In the situation where there was no way to block the Kingdom of Waves in the early stage, it would be bad if countries noticed the evil intentions of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

  The same is true for this Wind Country War.

  Even if the kingdom of ghosts wiped out thousands of ninjas in Hidden Sand Village, it did not encounter international condemnation.

  Strength is one aspect, and the most important thing is to be famous.

  Sha Yin Village first attacked the border towns of the ghost country, ignoring the warning from the ghost country military, the ghost country is a self-defense counterattack, and it is the party of justice.

   Now, in a sense, the Kingdom of Ghosts has become a key target of concern for all countries. If there is no suitable excuse, it is impossible to find troubles in the Kingdom of Waves and infiltrate this country.

   "This country, like the Kingdom of Winds, borrowed a large loan and failed to repay it on time. Because it involves the next step of the Kingdom of Ghosts, I didn't ask Kadozu to collect debts from the daimyos and nobles of the Kingdom of Waves. I will use this excuse to settle in the Kingdom of Waves. If they don't agree, let them agree. At that time, I will ask Kado to assist you. In this regard, you have to listen to his opinions."

   Shiraishi didn't care about Kazuhime's worries, and expressed his opinion.

   Cardo? Yiji was taken aback.

   Immediately, an image of a short man wearing black sunglasses but always showing a sinister smile appeared in his mind.

  The other party is the veteran of the Ziyuanhua Chamber of Commerce. More than ten years ago, he was a loyal veteran cadre under Baishi. He initially held an important position in the Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Company.

   Has now been transferred to Ziyuanhua Shipping Company as the president.

   is a money-greedy and insidious guy.

  But it is undeniable that the opponent's ability, with this guy to assist him, presumably the road in the Kingdom of Waves will be much more convenient.

  "Although the Kingdom of Waves is a small country and there are no ninja forces, don't take it lightly. Konoha will definitely take precautions at that time, and take it slowly... The most important thing is that the people of the Kingdom of Waves who instigate rebellion must be well-known. You have to wait for those nobles and daimyo to make mistakes, and let the people of the Kingdom of Waves resist. You can remotely control it behind the scenes, and don't let anyone catch it."

   "I see." Yi Ji looked at Shiraishi with a strange expression.

  I always feel that my old man's ability in planning a rebellion is unexpectedly high.

  She had seen Shiraishi's top-secret information during Konoha's period, and after thinking about it carefully, she didn't take it seriously.

  According to what Auntie Ayane said, her old man began to lie to her when she was six years old, and planned how to defect to Konoha. Until the eve of leaving Konoha, he was still recognized by Hokage as the successor of the Will of Fire. After that, he became the number one dangerous wanted criminal to be wiped out in Hokage.

   "Okay, after these things are ready, it will take about half a month. After signing the agreement with Sand Hidden Village, I will arrange for you to go to the country of Nami. Now, you and your mother will go to Konoha and set off in the afternoon to bring back the heritage belonging to the Uchiha clan. It is considered to be a trip to relax."

   "Understood, then I'm leaving."

  Ichihime nodded and disappeared from the room.

   After Yi Ji left, Shiraishi breathed a sigh of relief.

   "Finally clean..."

   Then Shiraishi opened the drawer and took out a stack of manuscript paper.

   It was the confidential 'information' intercepted from Jiraiya.

   I don't know what kind of top secret is recorded on it, will it endanger the national defense security of the ghost country, as a military leader, I have to strictly review this top secret information.

  Liuli is going to be an envoy to Konoha in the afternoon, so she can only use Ayane's white eyes to unlock all the secrets above.

   Find her to study in depth at night.
