Escape From Konoha Chapter 529

  Chapter 529 The sharp teeth that put out the fire (2)

   Konoha Severe Sentence Room.

  The torture room shrouded in pale moonlight is built along rivers and cliffs. Instead of the raging wind, it seems to gather the screams of countless prisoners, making the already gloomy place even more gloomy.

   Lu Jiu led a team of Anbu, passed the inspection of the guards here, confirmed his identity, and was allowed to enter.

  In the huge building where the torture room is located, cells made of stone and iron bars are built on both sides. Each cell is powered on, but the place where the power is powered is just a light bulb that emits bright yellow light. Due to the very small range of light, most of the interior of the building is still shrouded in darkness, extremely dark.

  In each cell, a prisoner is held, as if to prevent people from conducting secret talks to escape from the prison, this method of detention is adopted.

  Some prisoners have already started snoring and sleeping, and some prisoners hold the iron bars in their hands and look out in a daze. They were wearing thin gray-blue prison uniforms, and the exposed arms and calves had very rough skin, which was obviously caused by frequent rough work.

  If you can't vaguely detect their breathing, grabbing the iron bars and looking at the prisoners outside, it's like frozen corpses, which is extremely weird.

   Lu Jiu, who was used to the scene, only frowned slightly, then continued to move without saying a word.

   And Anbu behind him is used to following Lu Jiu's footsteps, turning a blind eye to the indifference, pleading, and pain in these people's eyes.

  The prisoners held here are not worthy of sympathy.

   These people are all criminal ninjas who committed serious crimes or leaked important secrets of the village.

   Didn't execute them directly, it was merciful enough. For these people, they must be strictly managed and restrained by violence until they die of old age here.

   This is the last mercy that Konoha can give these people.

  Passing over the outermost prison, Lu Jiu and others headed deeper into the torture room.

   On the road, I also met Konoha ninjas on patrol. They stayed up all night and took turns to patrol here. They were alert to the tricks of the prisoners here and escaped from here.

  Although the chakras of these men in handcuffs were blocked, the patrolling ninjas still stood firm to eliminate the last trace of luck of these prisoners.

   Soon, Lu Jiu led Anbu to the end of the outer and middle prisons.

  The road is getting narrower and narrower. On the ceiling, every ten meters, there is only a light bulb with a very small illumination range.

  The door of the cell is not an iron bar, but a heavy iron door that is sealed, and on the iron door, there is only a small window that can be stretched out.

  The ground is damp and cold, and the cold wind blowing into the trousers, even Lu Jiu is a little uncomfortable with the environment here.

   Arriving at the deepest cell, Shikahisa and Anbu stopped in their tracks.

  In front of the iron gate of the cell, ninjas wearing similar clothing to Anbu stood on both sides of the iron gate, like loyal guards, protecting the cell.

   "I have some things that I want to discuss with Elder Danzang."

  Lu Jiu stared at the root ninjas stationed on both sides of the iron gate.

  Although it is a bit difficult to say, it is the truth. People like Danzo, even if they are supervised in the severe punishment room, are not easily seen.

  The caretaker of the severe punishment room can only turn a blind eye and close one eye, acquiescing to all this happening.

  The two root ninjas are only superficial guards, and there are more root ninjas hiding around, locking on every move of Shikahisa and Anbu ninja.

  Once they have any abnormal behavior, they may be attacked by root ninjas.

  The general situation is that the office location has been transferred from the root base to the severe punishment room.

   Lu Jiu smiled wryly.

  If you were the rest of the prisoners, the process would not be so complicated and tricky.

   "Let him in."

  An old voice came from the inside of the iron gate.

  A root ninja turned his head, as if he had confirmed something, then turned his head again, and nodded slightly to Lu Jiu.

  He twisted the handle of the iron door, gently pushed the iron door open, and made a gesture of inviting Lu Jiu to enter.

  Lujiu immediately moved towards the iron gate, and the Anbu ninja behind him wanted to follow in, but was intercepted by the root ninja, and was under the cold surveillance of the root ninja.

   "You guys just stay outside, I can go in alone."

   Lujiu shook his head at Anbu behind him, indicating that he can go in alone.

  The Anbe ninja had no choice but to back down. Looking at these arrogant root ninjas, he felt extremely humiliated.

   Not only was he previously controlled by Genbu, but even if Danzo was imprisoned, Genbu's power surpassed that of Anbe, and he has become the most uncontrollable force in Konoha.

  Because behind the root is the fighting faction of the entire Konoha.

   Anbu who lost Hokage is indeed unable to restrain the roots.

  Nowadays, the control of Anbu is temporarily managed by two consultants and the Jonin squad leader.

  Passing through the iron gate, Lu Jiu's figure stood completely in the prison, and the iron gate behind him shook slightly and closed tightly.

  The moment the iron door was closed, the candles placed on the candlesticks around the walls in the originally dark cell suddenly lit up, driving out the darkness in the cell.

  At this time, Lu Jiu also discovered that in the cell, besides Danzo sitting on the seat directly in front of him, there was also an old man with gray hair sitting there with his head hanging down in the corner.

   Judging from his weak breathing, the old man is still tenaciously alive.

  In the room, there are not only chairs, beds, desks, tea tables, pens, paper, lamps and other things, but also everything that one expects to find.

  In the depths of the room, it seems that a secret door can still be vaguely seen.

  There is no doubt that this is a special cell, and it is likely to be transformed by Danzo himself.

  Even the cell space is cleaner and more spacious than other cells.

   This is not to suffer at all.

  Although he was slandering in his heart, Lu Jiu could only turn a blind eye to these things.

   A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, no matter how poor Danzo is, it is not a terrifying existence he can bring down.

   "Elder Danzo."

   Shikahisa stopped in front of Danzo.

   "Are you here to see the old man in despair?"

   Danzo raised his head and stared into Lu Jiu's eyes.

  Lu Jiu shook his head and said: "No, I don't have such a plan. I came here just to ask Elder Danzo one thing."

   "Is Tsunade's whereabouts?"

   Danzo seems to have seen through Lu Jiu's thoughts.

  Deer remained silent for a long time, and settled down by default.

   "The Land of Iron, Southern Forest."

  Danzo said this place name.

   Shikahisa, who was still thinking about how to get Danzo to let go, was stunned when he heard Danzo tell Tsunade's whereabouts so simply.

   "How's the progress of the outside investigation?"

  Danzo continued to ask.

  Lu Jiu hesitated for a moment, then took out something from his pocket.

   is a video tape.

   "This thing is the same as what was broadcast in the open air not long ago, and it was deliberately copied many copies, scattered in the village."

  Lu Jiu subconsciously said that even if he wanted to recycle, it would be impossible.

  There are many jounin who want Danzo to fall. They will definitely use this kind of thing to fight Danzo to the end and will not let go easily.

   The charges of attacking Hokage and manipulating Hokage are not small.

  This stain is placed in front of everyone, and it is difficult to renege on it.

   What's more, there are some shrewd Jonin who noticed the strange behavior of the third Hokage himself and doubted it.

   As for whether the Third Hokage himself is under the control of illusion, this kind of thing can be known by using the secret art of the Yamanaka clan to probe the memory and do a little investigation.

   What's more, Danzo's right eye also needs to be explained.

   That kind of eyes, no matter how you look at them, are very similar to Sharingan.

  Kaleidoscopic Sharingan is also clearly recorded in Konoha's information.

   These things simply cannot withstand investigation.

  The only fortunate thing is that Danzo chose to take refuge temporarily. If he insists on going his own way and forcibly suppresses the speech in the village, I am afraid that the civil war in Konoha has already broken out.

  Thinking of the consequences like that, Lu Jiu couldn't help being frightened.

   "Really... It seems that the old man has completely lost this time..."

  Danzo's tone was quite calm, so calm that Lu Jiu began to shudder inside.

   Just when Lu Jiu was about to say something, there was a burst of laughter from the side.

   "You like to play tricks and tricks, but now you are plotted against by tricks and tricks. It really fits the fate of you, the leader of the root, Danzo."

  Speaking is an old man with gray hair who has been sitting in the room with his head down.

  Even when he was mocking, he kept his head down and didn't show his face.

   Lu Jiu glanced at the old man, frowning slightly.

   Judging from the tone of the old man, the other party and Danzo are familiar, and have a lot of troubles.

   But in his memory, there is really no memory of this old man.

who is he?

  Why here?

  Why did Danzo choose to be imprisoned with him?

   "However, this cell was originally built by you, but now you imprison yourself... Hehe, isn't this very interesting?"

   On the face and eyes covered by the gray hair, there is a faint **** light shining in the hair, which makes people feel uneasy.

   "Elder Danzo, he is..."

   Lu Jiu couldn't help asking.

   "It's just a remnant of the old era, don't pay attention to him."

  Danzo didn't care about the old man's sarcastic tone, but there was already a trace of displeasure on his face.

  Lu Jiuzhi didn't bring the topic to this old man.

   "Then, if possible, can Elder Danzo recount to me verbatim what happened in the next few days, as well as the plan made by Root? I need to confirm some things. Only in this way can Konoha get through this difficult time smoothly."

  Listening to Lu Jiu's request, Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Lu Jiu's firm face, and finally opened his lips lightly:

"as you wish…"

  The sound of the blade trembling made Hizan's eyes open again from the dark room.

  The light reflected from the blade in the darkness was so chilling, like frozen ice, without the slightest warmth, directly shining on Hizhan's face brutally and directly.

   Sun Zhan has no doubt that this is a knife that can cut iron like mud.

  Because it is made of a special chakra alloy, adding wind attribute chakra or thunder attribute chakra will make the sharpness of the knife to a higher level and reach the realm of invincibility.

  The human body will be easily torn apart by this blade.

  Hizan looked at the blade, and he clearly understood that this was not the short knife that Kakashi often used.

  The owner of this sword, Hirizan also knows who it is, Kakashi's father - Hatake Sakumo.

  Konoha Shinobu died of rumors and committed suicide by suicide.

   It used to be Konoha's sharp knife that bit the enemy.

  As if recalling those past events passed down in the past, a trace of dazed emotion flashed in Hirizhan's eyes.

  It was just Hizhan who was Hokage, but he didn't expect that when this sword saw the light of day again, it would no longer bite Konoha's enemy, but him, Konoha's Hokage.

  Is this a punishment from God?

   Or the redemption of oneself?

  The nostalgia in Ri Zhan's eyes gradually became complicated.

  He stretched out his hand forward slowly, and finally, under Kakashi's gaze, he held the handle of the short knife and made a decision.

   With a clang, the blade was pulled out from the ground.

  The white light reflected from the blade shone horizontally on Hizan's eyes, causing his cloudy eyes to narrow slightly.

  In an instant, the energy and spirit of his body seemed to be sucked by the knife, and the aura on his body became more depressed and downcast.

   "What will be your choice, Third Generation? Agree or reject?"

  Even though Hirazan holds the short sword in his hand and has a weapon that can be used for fighting, Kakashi still takes it calmly, as if he doesn't care whether Hirazan has a weapon or not.

  Hearing Kakashi's words, Hirazan looked away from the blade, raised his head again, and stared at Kakashi's eyes without emotional fluctuations.

  Just as he was about to speak, a figure suddenly flickered in front of Hizan, flickering the candlelight, and inserted horizontally between Hizan and Kakashi.

  Holding a chakra blade in each hand, the expression on his face is serious and serious.

   "Asma, why do you..."

  Seeing the true face of the figure standing between him and Kakashi, Hizan's expression changed slightly.

   "I'm sorry, Hokage Dai—no, old man, as the Son of Man, I only have this matter, and I can't just sit idly by."

  Asma didn't turn her head back, and watched Kakashi with vigilant eyes.

   "Asma, this has nothing to do with you! Get out of here!"

  Hi Zhan, sitting cross-legged on the ground, shouted in a deep voice.

  The tone revealed the meaning of asking Asma to leave here quickly.

  He didn't want to involve his son with this old grievance.

  He is very aware of Kakashi's strength, no, Kakashi's strength is stronger than he imagined, and may even surpass him, the Hokage. With Asma's strength, it is absolutely impossible to compete with Kakashi.

   Once the two fight, Asma's fate can be imagined.

  He has already lost a son and does not want to lose another.

  Asma laughed, with no fear of death in her eyes, and said: "It's a pity, old man, I am different from my elder brother. I have been a not well-behaved child since I was a child. It is the same this time. Please allow me to be a bad child who is not well-behaved in the end."

"what are you up to?"

  Under the horrified gaze of Ri Zhan, Asma slowly put down the chakra knife in his hand, and threw it on the floor.

  He took a deep breath slowly, looked straight at Kakashi's calm lake-like eyes, and showed a fearless smile, a smile that made people feel at ease and calm.

   "Kakashi, let me bear the revenge you have endured for twenty years instead. Because I die, this old man will definitely die because he lost all his sons. How about this kind of revenge? Doesn't this kind of revenge satisfy you more? Don't you want to see his miserable appearance that life would be worse than death?"

   This kind of revenge can indeed make Ri Zhan feel boundless pain.

  However, Kakashi's heart did not fluctuate.

   "This has nothing to do with you, Asma, get out of the way."

  Just as Hizan didn't want to involve his son in this grievance, Kakashi also didn't want to involve this grievance on Asma, an irrelevant person.

   "No, it has something to do with me. Although he has done a lot of stupid things, he is still my father after all. I can't just watch him die. I think if it were you, you would make the same choice."

   Asma stared at Kakashi and said.

   Before Kakashi could speak, Hirazan's voice came from behind Asma:

   "Enough! Asma, I am Konoha's third Hokage, and I haven't fallen to the point where I use the sacrifice of my own child to fulfill myself. Since this matter started because of me, I, Hokage, will end it myself."

  Hi Zhan made up his mind in an instant, holding the handle of the dagger with both hands, aiming the tip at his heart.

"etc-"

  Asma's complexion changed drastically, she turned around, and rushed towards Ri Zhan, trying to stop him from committing suicide.

  However, before he could take a step forward, a forceful chakra that had condensed into substance suddenly erupted from Ri Zhan's body, like a torrent erupting violently, constantly squeezing Asma's body.

   "Damn—"

   Asma roared angrily.

  He watched his father Hirizan raise the dagger in his hand, and smiled at him as if saying goodbye, probably because of the long-lost happiness he felt because of the child's protection.

   "Old man, stop it, you are Konoha's Hokage, don't mess around—"

  Asma continued to growl, the veins on his temples began to bulge, and he also erupted the chakra in his body, colliding with the chakra of Sun Slash.

  However, the quality and quantity of the two chakras are not on the same level.

  No matter how you say it, Hizan is also recognized as a doctor of ninjutsu in the ninja world.

  Among the Konohas, apart from the so-called blood succession limit, even the secret arts of various races can be handcrafted by Five Kage level ninjas.

  Even if it is a pure chakra outbreak, it is by no means a Jnin like Asma, and it can be compared.

  However, in Asma's view, Sun Zhan is so reckless to explode chakra, but also to prevent him from moving forward, there is no doubt that it is already prepared to die.

  Kakashi watched this scene expressionlessly, and saw Asmana act like a clown, trying his best to prevent his father from committing suicide, but in the end he couldn't do anything, and suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

   But even so, Kakashi did not step forward, just watched silently.

  He didn't know what kind of feelings he should have at this time.

  But Kakashi knows one thing, that is, he has no reason to step forward to stop it, and it is impossible to step forward to stop it.

  Finally, the roar, the roar of the airflow produced by the eruption of Chakra, and the sound of a blade piercing into the flesh, everything came to an abrupt end.

  As the pressure in front of her suddenly decreased, Asma unconsciously staggered two steps forward.

  The dagger pierced Hizan's chest, who was still smiling, and penetrated the heart with precision and without mistakes.

   "Old...old man..."

  Asma felt that the world collapsed, and all the sounds and pictures turned into lifeless gray and white.

  As pale and fragile.

   Can't believe it.

  Hi Zhan smiled, as if he had lost the strength to support his whole body, and his body fell sideways.

  Asma flickered, as if instinctively predicted the position where Sun Zhan was about to fall, appeared there, hugged the body that was losing temperature constantly, and let him lie in her arms.

   "Old man..."

   "...A...As...Ma..."

  Hi Zhan's eyes gradually closed, as if he was in a cold world with boundless darkness.

   With trembling palms, he groped for this unknown dark world.

   "I'm...I'm here, old man..."

  Asma choked on the moisture in her eyes, and grabbed Hirizan's skinny, wrinkled palm covered with chicken skin that was groping for warmth.

  “…take care of the village and everyone…don't hate…”

   With the help of Asma, Sun Zhan finally touched Asma's face with his thin palm.

  Asma's tears flowed out unconsciously, falling on Hizan's face.

  Hi Zhan's cheeks were very cold and began to stiffen, and he no longer had the spiritual touch of his youth.

  Therefore, Asma hugged Hirazan's body, using even more strength, as if she wanted to use this insignificant warmth, hoping for a miracle to happen.

   However, the miracle did not happen.

  Hizan, who was pierced through the heart with a short knife, lost his vitality at such a speed that even Konoha's top medical ninja would feel helpless.

   "...don't hate..."

   Such a weak, unquiet, inaudible voice broke into the ears of Asma who was in tears again because of grief, but very clearly.

   Breathing is weak.

   Ri Zhan longed for his son in his heart, and after losing him as a father, he couldn't keep wandering in the dark abyss of revenge.

  The ninja who went to extremes due to revenge and eventually self-destructed, such a ninja, Hirazan has seen countless times in his long life.

  He didn't want his son to embark on this road of no return.

   Therefore, until his death, Ri Zhan always had a smile on his face.

   It seems that he died in such a posture, not ashamed of his identity as Hokage.

   Even in the face of death, you must behave calmly and not let anyone look down on you.

   "—From now on, you are the third Hokage of Konoha!"

  In his mind, Hirizhan couldn't help recalling this sentence.

  The voice of the teacher's thousand-handed door, even if it spans endless time and space, is still so sonorous and powerful.

  Unfortunately, until the end, I also failed to fulfill the duties of a Hokage...

  If Kakashi can exchange for Kakashi not to attack Konoha with his own death, then he, Hokage, can finally do something insignificant for the village.

  All grievances begin with him and end with him.

"old…"

  Before Asma finished speaking, Hirizaki's skinny palm slipped from his face and fell down powerlessly.

  Asma stared blankly at all this happening, probably because the scene in front of him exceeded his prediction of reality, so that his brain could not accept this kind of real cruelty.

   Therefore, he suddenly opened his mouth, as if to exhaust all the strength in his body, even if the salty tears flowed into his mouth, he couldn't stop it.

   "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

  The pain was almost like howling, completely liberated from Asma's mouth.

  Kakashi watched all this happen with a blank face, neither cheering nor ashamed, just as calm and serene as looking at an empty dead thing.

  Amidst Asma's roar, Kakashi turned around and moved towards the outside.

  The candle on the candlestick burns to the end of its life.

   goes off.

  Endless darkness eroded this world, and Kakashi's figure was involved in it.

   "What a void..."

  Perhaps, this is the life of an Avenger.

  Kakashi deeply understood this truth.

   However, this is not over yet.

  In the darkness, Kakashi seemed to have come to an end, and pushed open the door.

  The moonlight outside was gentle and beautiful, falling on her face.

  Although there was only a little light, Kakashi knew that this empty night would come to an end sooner or later.

   Only by surviving this long night can we see the more brilliant and beautiful scenery in the early morning.
