Escape From Konoha Chapter 386

  Chapter 386 decision

  The second day, at noon.

  The junction of the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind.

  The snow has stopped, because it is blocked by dark clouds, the sun cannot directly shine on the earth, making the sky gray.

   "You are late, the battle is over."

  On the vast snowy field, the central part seemed to be hollowed out by someone, and a shocking big pit appeared.

  The placer gold is mixed with the mud, which makes the brilliance of the gold a bit dull.

  Ayane was sitting alone on the edge of the pit, eating with a can of meat in her hand, when she heard footsteps behind her, she turned her head slightly, and she saw Shiraishi and Liuli, and said to them.

   "It seems that your side is much easier than expected."

  What Shiraishi saw was the loss of chakra and Ayane with a few traces on his clothes. He thought his image would be more embarrassing. After all, the opponent was Kazekage, one of the Five Kages, and with a large number of Jōnin and Anbu Jōnin guards. But in the end, it was much better than expected.

   "Both of us just tried it out, and didn't continue to fight. However, that Kazekage's evaluation is completely different from what you have made in the past. Compared with the time he fought with Liuli, his placer gold ninjutsu has become sharper. The water escape technique of the water dragon **** is completely useless to him, and he is on the side of being suppressed."

  Ayane recalled the previous battle scene and expressed such emotion.

   "After all, after coming out of the shadows, my state of mind has become stronger and firmer. Does this count as helping the other party?"

   Shiraishi laughed like this.

   This is also expected, Luo Sha is already at the peak of a ninja, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

  Combined with the breakthrough in the state of mind, maybe I saw a higher realm.

   "If you said that in front of that Fengying, I would probably want to beat you straight away."

  Even if one of the five shadows escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, being deliberately let go would be a very humiliating thing for one of the Five Kages.

   As a result, Shayin Village has been in a lifeless state for the second half of the previous year, wasting half a year of development time.

   "As expected, water escape ninjutsu can deal with ordinary sand, but the placer gold used to deal with Luo sand has no advantage."

   Shiraishi was not surprised.

  The density of placer gold is about 20 times the density of water. Luo Sand, who can freely manipulate such heavy placer gold, has undoubtedly the top level of chakra and manipulation ability.

   In other words, the water dragon **** needs to summon water flow twenty times the amount of placer gold, in order to barely match Luo Sha's placer gold.

  Even if the gold placer is wetted, it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the gold placer twenty times heavier, and it will not affect the speed and power of the placer gold.

  Even the sand and iron art of the third Kazekage is not as powerful as dust gold in terms of frontal attack.

  Because the density of iron is only seven times that of water, it is far less heavy than placer gold.

  Water Dragon God is only one of the avatars after all. Although the single-system ninjutsu has been strengthened and even given the ability to celestial arts, it is too much to take it for granted to want to compete with ninjas of the Five Kage level.

  However, in addition to creating water escapes, the Water Dragon God also has the characteristics of absorbing chakra, as well as the immortality comparable to the earth generals. These characteristics can be used to contain some powerful and invincible existences.

  When the water dragon **** was first given these characteristics, it was originally intended to maximize the fluidity of 'water', mainly to restrain the enemy, not to kill the enemy.

   "So, what was the outcome of the meeting?"

  Although Luo Sha and the others were successfully pushed back, Ayane was unable to go to the meeting site to know the detailed process because of this.

   "Very well, Konoha has temporarily compromised. Next, Konoha will take this opportunity to improve the national strength as much as possible."

   Shiraishi told the result.

   "Well, it's not in vain for me to delay Luo Sha. Next, do you want to organize the rendezvous between Konoha and Sand Yin? Although the meeting is over, Luo Sha doesn't seem to have the intention of returning to Sand Yin Village immediately."

   Ayane pointed to a direction, which was the direction where Luo Sha left.

  Shiraishi also looked over, and sensed the movement of Luo Sha and his group within the perceivable range of his sensory ninjutsu.

  In addition to Luo Sha, the Kazekage, beside him, there are more than a dozen ninjas with very powerful chakras, all of whom are elite jounin in Hidden Sand Village.

   Not only that, but also sensed the movements of the third Hokage Hiruzaru Sarutobi and others. At this speed, the two parties will meet smoothly in three minutes.

   Baishi shook his head and said, "No need, there is no need to attack them now."

   First of all, the strength of the opponent is not weak, aside from Hokage and Kazekage, the ninjas beside them are not simple stuff either.

  Especially Mitomon Yan and Zhuanju Koharu, although these two people belong to the grass-roots faction in the high-level Konoha, they are also disciples of the second generation of Hokage Senshou Feijian.

  As far as ninja abilities are concerned, the strength of the two of them is worthy of recognition. Maybe it will be a high-strength ninja at the same level as Danzo.

  Although the three of them teamed up to defeat Naruto and Kazekage, it is impossible to keep everyone. Once someone escapes and the news is revealed, it will be the beginning of the Fourth Ninja War.

  Now the kingdom of ghosts is not ready for this.

   Insufficient power savings.

   "The deal with the Land of Rain is over, and after that, it will be an enemy and not a friend. In order to capture the tailed beast, Nagato will definitely fight against the five major countries. Taking advantage of this time, we must also make preparations."

   "Reincarnation eye? If I knew it earlier, after killing Madara, I should have eliminated him at all costs."

   "Thinking too much. After killing Madara, the three of us were in a state of severe chakra deficiency. Ruri and your eyes have not yet evolved, and Chizi has not yet been born. If we really want to fight, we don't know who killed whom."

   Shiraishi was a little speechless about Ayane's whimsical idea.

  Because of the battle with Banana, the opponent did not use the power of the reincarnation eye.

  And the records of Nagato's past shots are limited to a few specific spells, and the real secret of the reincarnation eye cannot be seen at all.

   Only this time when the Daming Mansion of the Land of Rain was destroyed, Nagato showed a little bit the power of the Samsara Eye, but there are still too many ambiguities to judge Nagato's strength through these.

   What's more, Nagato still holds the body of the ten tails in his hands. Even through the analysis of some fragments of the body of the ten tails, Shiraishi knows that it is a monster that surpasses known attempts.

  Perhaps the legend that the legendary leader of the Ninja sect, the Sage of the Six Paths, made the moon is not a myth fabricated by later generations, but a real historical fact.

   "Really, if one day the moon suddenly falls from the sky, it doesn't seem to be a surprise."

   Baishi looked at the clouds in the sky, wondering what he was thinking.

   "Master Danzo."

  Konoba, the root of the headquarters base.

  Shan Zhongfeng came in from the outside, followed by an eleven or twelve-year-old boy. The boy was dressed in a strange attire. He was wearing black clothes and a black mask on his face. Except for the eyes and mouth, the rest of the boy was covered by the black mask.

  He followed Shan Zhongfeng to the room where Danzo was, and looked at everything in the room with curious eyes.

  Danzo, who was standing in the center of the room, glanced over Shanzhongfeng, and fixed on the boy behind Shanzhongfeng.

   "Is this the child?"

   Danzo asked.

"Yes."

  Shan Zhongfeng nodded, and then he turned his head to gesture to the boy behind him.

  The boy also came back to his senses, took a step forward, bowed slightly to Danzo and said, "Your girl takes the root, and I have met Lord Danzo."

  Danzo nodded, and said in an almost cold voice: "Zhiwei should have told you that from today onwards, you don't need to go to the ninja school, you will become a substitute member of the root."

"yes."

  Although the boy Youyou Girl Qugen is very young, he already has a very firm idea of ​​sacrificing for the village.

  Starting today, he will follow the order of the family, hide his name in the dark, become a ninja in the dark, abandon the honor of the family, and dedicate everything to Konoha.

   Even your own freedom, life.

   "Originally, the old man wanted to wait for you to graduate from the ninja school normally, and then win you over from the oil girl clan. But now the root is in short supply, and with the sacrifice of Ryoma, we have to re-select an outstanding ninja from the oil girl clan. Do you have this awareness?"

  Danzo forced the oil girl to take root with almost severe eyes.

   "I've heard about Mr. Ryoma. Although I can't compare with Mr. Ryoma now, sooner or later I will become the cornerstone of my roots."

  Younv Qugen's tone is very firm.

  The oily girl Ryoma, in the previous operation, collected intelligence in Yuyin Village, but was assassinated, and no news was sent back.

   Have to say, this is a big loss of roots and leaves.

   "I hope, Ryoma also admired you a lot during his lifetime, thinking that once you master your own abilities, you can become a powerful killer for Konoha. Next, you will receive the strictest guidance from Root, and the old man has high expectations for you. Go on."

   "Yes, Danzo-sama."

   Without too many words, Togen nodded, followed the order without hesitation and walked out of the room, leaving room for Yamanakakaze and Danzo.

   "It takes time for rooting to grow, and now we are running out of time."

   After taking root and leaving, Danzo sighed.

  Ever since he heard the news of Ryoma's sacrifice, he felt really tired and his mentality began to age.

  Even in the dark world of Konoha, it is inevitable to feel sad and lost for the subordinates who have followed me for decades and have devoted themselves to their duties.

  Even if the principle of eliminating human desire is followed at all, it is to prevent the ninja from being dragged down by unnecessary emotions during the mission.

  However, how can a creature like human beings really abandon emotions.

  I don't usually notice such emotions, but I always show my true emotions when I don't expect it.

   It's part of being human.

  Even if he is the root leader, he can't give up something.

   "Master Danzo, why should you be so pessimistic? Although Konoha is weak now, we have gained a stable space for development. Next, we need to step up and strengthen the village's armed forces."

  Shan Zhongfeng said.

   "Strengthening the village is of course a top priority, but the old man is even more worried. This so-called development space was deliberately given up to us by Chiba Shiraishi. Among the leaves, there are nails from the kingdom of ghosts, and the position in the Anbu is not low!"

  A cold light flashed in Danzang's eyes.

   "Anbe!?"

  Shanfeng looked shocked.

   "There is a problem with the civil strife in the land of waves. There is a squad of Anbu stationed there, but the Anbu team didn't send the news back until after the civil strife broke out in the land of wave. This is because someone secretly intercepted their message early, so we couldn't get the news in time in the land of wave. In the Anbu, there are five people who can do it."

  After Shan Zhongfeng heard it, his expression was awe-inspiring.

   Of the five people Danzo refers to, he naturally knows which five people are the most suspicious.

  The head of the dark department...and the four captains of the dark department.

  Only the five of them have such authority in Anbu.

   "Could it be Kakashi? It is said that Kakashi's father, Konoha Shirato, was Chiba Shiraishi's guide Jonin."

   Shanfeng asked.

   "I have thought so too, but Kakashi's position is vacillating between Konoha and Orochimaru. In addition, Hizan and I pay a lot of attention to him. He once risked his life to save Jiraiya's life. Even when the fourth generation was alive, he gave Kakashi a high degree of recognition."

   Danzo shook his head.

  Kakashi's contribution to Konoha is undoubtedly outstanding.

  And has received personal guidance from the Fourth Hokage, even if he is bewitched by Orochimaru, Danzo believes that in Kakashi's heart, Konoha will have a greater proportion.

  So, compared to Kakashi, the head of the Anbu, Danzo is more suspicious of the four captains in the Anbu.

  In addition to the minister Kakashi, the captains of the four dark sections are also high-ranking and powerful.

  As long as they use the power in their hands a little bit, Konoha can be kept ignorant of what happened in the land of waves.

   "It seems that Anbu will usher in another **** storm."

  Shanfeng felt a little emotional.

   As a branch of Anbu, Genbu fought fiercely with Anbu, but seeing that there was a big problem in Anbu's management system at this time, as a member of Genbu, he was a little unhappy.

   "Ri Zhan has already started an investigation, let our staff pay attention, and find out the sub-leader in Anbu as soon as possible, which one is the inner ghost inserted by the kingdom of ghosts."

  Anbu is an extremely important real power department of Konoha. If there is an insider in this department, or a character like the team leader, it will undoubtedly make a big mistake in Konoha's intelligence.

"yes."

   "Besides, ask Dou to contact Orochimaru. I need to start a new cooperation with him."

  Danzo was silent for a while, and gave this order.

  As Konoha's current veteran, he should cut off contact with Rebel Nin.

  But Orochimaru's genius-like thinking and creative ability are urgently needed at the root.

  Compared to using Dashewan's talents, the relationship between Root and Dashewan is more like an equal cooperative relationship between the two parties.

  Even if Orochimaru became a traitor, he still maintains such a close relationship.

  Oshemaru used to be a member of Nebu, and he knows very well that Genmo's style of acting and the way of becoming stronger by unscrupulous means are also different from most Konoha ninjas.

   This time the Land of Rain War made him realize that the power at the root is still insufficient.

   The will of the ninja, lost to steel.

  In the past, this was something Danzo could not have imagined.

  Using unknown technology, the kingdom of sky was also destroyed by the ninja attack of Konoha.

  But the industrial technology displayed by the ghost country now made him feel a strong crisis.

   How much of a weapon like this is hidden in the ghost kingdom?

  He didn't think that the war in the Kingdom of Rain would force the Kingdom of Ghosts to go all out.

   "With the sudden end of the War in the Land of Rain, the traditional arms markets of various countries will be hit like never before. Especially the Iron Country, which is famous for its iron smelting techniques, it is estimated that from next month, the share of the arms trade will be reduced a lot. Many factories in the Iron Country will go bankrupt as a result, and countless traditional craftsmen will lose their jobs as a result."

  The part of the loss will be squeezed out by the army of the ghost country.

   How much this will benefit the Kingdom of Ghosts, Danzo can't imagine.

  According to his idea, he wanted to show other countries the power of the tail beast capsule developed by Root, so that Root could obtain more research funds.

  The promotion plan of Tailed Beast Capsules can be said to have failed.

  Although it will not reach the state where no one cares about it, the arms of the ghost country are definitely the most popular.

  The walls inside the cave are like snake skin, and even the candlesticks used for lighting are also in the shape of snakes. The sculpture-like snake opened its vertical pupils like a living thing.

  For those in the know, these snake-like candlesticks are not only lighting objects, but also monitors.

  The dark yellow light makes the road in the cave base full of eerie feeling.

  In the room at the end of the road, there are various large-scale experimental equipment. There are several cylindrical glasses more than two meters high, which are filled with a miserable green solution. In this strangely colored solution, not only humanoid creatures but also various animals are soaked. Judging from the fact that they are still breathing when they are closed tightly, they are in a strange state of deep sleep.

   "No matter how many times I look at it, this place is like another world."

  The boy wearing black-rimmed glasses felt sincerely after seeing the things presented in this room.

   "Why, are you also interested in my reincarnation technique, Dou?"

   Call out the name of the boy with glasses, Orochimaru's voice is hoarse, full of charm and magnetism, the transparent skin is like a candle, and there is no trace of blood that a normal person should have.

   "Where, I am still very young, and I don't have such a strong need for immortality. Besides, that is the research result of Master Orochimaru, isn't it?"

   Pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, he smiled slightly.

   "You are still as dishonest as ever. Sure enough, it was a very correct choice to bring you out of the roots."

   Orochimaru looked at Kou with admiration. He has always been full of expectations for talented ninjas.

   After saying this, Orochimaru also paused for a short while before talking about business.

   "Then, is it important for Danzo to ask you to return to me at this time? Generally speaking, it is not necessary for you, a correspondent, to return to me in person."

  The importance of the pocket is undoubtedly very important.

  He is the only important person who stays in Konoha and can talk directly with Danzo, and he is not an abandoned child who can be discarded casually.

   Moreover, Dou's medical ninjutsu also helped him and Danzo solve many problems.

   "Danzo hopes to get technical help from Oshemaru-sama."

   said with a smile.

   "Is it because he saw the industrial technology of the ghost country, so he felt out of his composure? Indeed, he is also an old man. Even though his body has undergone surgery, the power of Mutun and Sharingan is too strong. Another ten years is his limit."

   Orochimaru sighed.

  Life is a fragile thing.

  He could really feel Danzo's inner anxiety.

   Maybe Danzo still has many backers, but time waits for no one.

   For today's young people, Danzo's generation is already an antique character.

  The reason why Naruto Sarutobi Hiruzen is still known to everyone is because of his identity as Hokage.

  If you really retire, within a few years, unless you are an acquaintance, you will become uninterested.

  Danzo has been directly hidden in the dark for decades, this forbearance is indeed scary.

  Compared to myself as a snake player, Danzo is the poisonous snake that really hides in the dark. It will come out of its hole and bite at any time, regardless of time and place.

   "The answer of Oshemaru-sama is..."

   Orochimaru didn't respond directly, but walked to the shelf beside him, took a scroll from it, and threw it in his pocket.

   Unknown, he raised his head and looked at Orochimaru.

  Oshemaru explained: "About thirteen or fourteen years ago, the ninja world was in the period of the third ninja world war. At that time, there was a mysterious force that used the ninja world war to hide its identity and visited talents who had talents but were not valued by the country in various parts of the ninja world. These people have a variety of knowledge. Talents with knowledge in biology, military industry, light industry, architecture, astronomy, history, etc. were all invited by this force. And there was only one place where they finally gathered."

  Following Orochimaru's eloquence, Dou's heart was awe-inspiring, and he had a guess in his heart.

  These learned people are going to the country of ghosts.

   Orochimaru looked directly into the pocket, and said: "Do you think my wisdom alone can be compared with the entire national machine? Technological innovation requires not only brains, but logistics resources are also an extremely important part. Without materials and solid enough basic knowledge as support, it is also difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. In biology, I can think that I am not inferior to the kingdom of ghosts, but military industry and other fields are not what I am good at."

  Like the kingdom of ghosts, even if you have strong knowledge and technology, you can't imitate the eyes of reincarnation because of the lack of materials and sufficient basic knowledge.

  Many of the things Akatsuki owns are blind spots in the kingdom of ghosts.

  Similarly, many of the knowledge and technologies possessed by the Ghost Kingdom are also blind spots of the Akatsuki Organization and other countries.

  Everyone and every country focuses on different areas.

   Even though Orochimaru is conceited, he also knows that the military industry is indeed not his field of expertise.

  That's why he longs for longevity and uses time to make up for his lack of knowledge.

  Because only by living long can we have enough time to pursue the truth.

  On the contrary, in a short hundred years of life, just exploring in one field is already exhausting.

   To achieve outstanding results in different fields, you can only rely on time to accumulate.

   This is also Orochimaru's answer to Danzo.

  If you want to manufacture military-industrial weapons comparable to the kingdom of ghosts, you must first have a strong industrial foundation.

   And these are exactly what the Xiao organization and the five major countries lack.

  In the past, they never thought that the so-called steel could match the will of a ninja.

   But the reversal of reality is often full of surprises.

   "This is good. Different things touch together to sputter sparks called wisdom. Compared with the power of ninjas, this is an important thing that we humans should pass on. It is precisely because of wisdom that this world is so wonderful."

  The expression on Orochimaru's face was very happy, using new things to impact the old things, the will that burst out at that moment made him feel that a new wind was being passed on in the ninja world.

  Although the wind was weak at first, it will inevitably form a hurricane that sweeps the entire ninja world.

   "In this case, how should I respond to Danzo?"

  Doudo sighed.

   It's not that he doesn't understand Orochimaru's thoughts, but Danzo will be very angry if he looks like this.

   "Give the things in your hand to Danzang, and it will be considered as an answer to him."

   Orochimaru said indifferently.

   Tilting his head, he looked at the scroll in his hand.

   "What is this scroll..."

   "Just a fun little thing."

  Suppress the curiosity in my heart.

   "Of course, it's okay for you to peek."

   Orochimaru looked at the pocket with a half-smile.

  Oshemaru saw through his thoughts, and immediately stiffened.

   "Okay, I'm just kidding you, I'm going to a place now, and I'm going there to find some research materials. You should also hurry back to Konoha and send the things to Danzo."

  Dou returned to his normal demeanor.

   "The place Oshemaru-sama is going to is..."

  A look of exclamation appeared on Orochimaru's face.

  "Because of the continuous outbreak of wars for thousands of years, many ancient secrets have been annihilated. This time I am going to an ancient country that has been passed down from the time of the Six Paths Sages thousands of years ago. In that country, there are many ancient documents hidden, and there may be a lot of interesting things from there."

   If there is anything in the ninja world that can make him, the Sannin, feel interesting and put it into action, it is the unknown history and the dust-covered secrets of ancient times.

  It is not so easy to complete the experiment that Nagato gave him.

  The eyes of reincarnation, ten tails, everything points to the millennium ago—the age of the Sages of the Six Paths.

  Because of this, for Orochimaru, the past history still has great exploration value.
