Escape From Konoha Chapter 579

  Chapter 579 Half a Year

  Only Sai and Sakura were left in the single ward, while Naruto and Tenzo left the ward first.

   There are only two people in the room, which is a little quiet, and it is easy to cause embarrassment.

  However, Sai didn't think about it, he just kept his usual smile and asked Sakura, "Why, Sakura, don't you leave with them?"

   Didn't pay any attention to Sai's words, Sakura just looked at Sai with serious eyes, and said solemnly: "Your words just now were intended to provoke Naruto."

  Although it was doubtful, Sakura looked very sure, staring at Sai with eyes that see through everything.

  Sai asked back with a constant smile: "It's an interesting response, but I think you must be wrong. Moreover, you don't know anything about roots. Everyone who joins this organization is the brother of Lord Danzo. There is no such thing as 'I', so feelings are also a drag."

   "Then, why do you still carry this kind of picture book with you?"

  Sakura lowered her eyes and looked at the picture book in Sai's right hand.

   Hearing these words, Sai subconsciously squeezed the drawing book tightly with the fingers of his right hand.

  Although there is still a smile on his face, this kind of smile is not even a fake smile, but cold.

   "Naruto is right. Ninjas are also human beings, and human beings cannot give up their emotions. No matter who they are, when faced with major decisions, they say that they should be rational, but most of the time, people still tend to choose the emotional side. Absolute rationality does not exist in this world. That picture book is a precious memory of you and your brother in the past, and it is also proof of your existence."

  Sakura said so.

  Humans are easily infected by emotions, and they are highly impulsive animals.

  Saiguchi said that 'I' does not exist, that he is Danzo's brother and does not need to think... However, when he carried this picture book with him, he was already instinctively resisting this kind of 'rationality'.

  His original heart does not agree with the root idea.

   Sai fell silent.

   "You want to prove your existence desperately, and you want to remember yourself as a younger brother... For you, the fact that this bond of brotherhood exists is more important than your own life."

   "...bond?"

   Seemingly unfamiliar with and curious about such a fresh vocabulary, Sai could not help but murmur.

   "You should think about this problem carefully."

  Sakura left these words and left the ward.

   "What a strange bunch of people..."

  Looking in the direction where Sakura left, Sai thought of Tenzo and Naruto again.

  Maybe, I am the really weird one?

   Lowering his head, Sai stared at the drawing book in his hand, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"elder brother…"

   "Damn it! Damn it! That guy actually said something like that! I don't want anyone to protect me!"

  In the uninhabited woods, Naruto kept beating the trees with his fists until the bark was cracked, the skin on his fists was cut by the rough bark, and blood flowed out. Naruto didn't stop, but continued to hit the trees.

   Stimulated by Sai's words, Naruto only wanted to use this method to vent his dissatisfaction.

   Naruto stopped punching until the tree was hit by a fist.

  Blood dripped down the fist and onto the ground.

   "It's really embarrassing for a person to come here to vent his emotions, kid."

   A teasing voice suddenly came from behind, making Naruto turn around subconsciously, and saw Jiraiya who appeared not far behind him with a smile, walking slowly towards him.

   "A lecherous fairy?"

  Naruto looked at Jiraiya in surprise.

   "Why do you look so surprised? After inheriting Mt. Miaomu's psychic contract, how can you say that you can be regarded as my student... Isn't it normal for a teacher to come to comfort a student when he sees his loss?"

   Jilai also said with a smile.

   "I'm not lost."

  Naruto's stubborn mouth hardened.

   "Really? I heard everything you said to that kid at Nebu."

   "So, lecherous fairy, you also think that guy's words are very ugly?"

  Naruto looked expectantly at Jiraiya.

   And Jirai did not disappoint Naruto, he nodded, but soon, he shook his head again.

   "What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?"

   Naruto became depressed.

   "Idiot, of course half agree and half disagree. Compared with this immortal, you still have a lot to learn."

"cut."

   Naruto didn't seem to care about Jiraiya's preaching, and turned his head very unhappy.

   "Don't be convinced. The organization at the root is not as simple as you imagined. The boys who join your team are quite normal. The ninjas who join the root must undergo cruel training to destroy emotions, so that they can be turned into first-class killing machines."

   Jiraiya patted Naruto on the head and said so.

  He could see that the child named Sai still had a desire to break free in his heart.

   It's just because the root idea is too deep-rooted for him, and it is by no means so easy to break free from such shackles.

   One is psychological pressure, and the other is practical pressure.

   It's okay to say the former, but if Danzo finds out about the latter and becomes suspicious, what greets Sai will be destruction in reality.

   Even as Tsunade of Hokage, it is difficult to keep the opponent.

  The current Danzo is no longer what it used to be, and it still needs the root leader who relies on the power of Hokage.

  Since the Third Ninja World War, Danzo's power has gone out of control.

  After the Uchiha extermination, another round of expansion was carried out.

  Otherwise, the other party will not control Hokage to achieve the goal of controlling Konoha.

  The opponent's ambition has long since lost any respect for Hokage.

  Danzo like this is not only a deterrent to Hokage and ninjas, but also an unprecedented deterrent to Gen's insiders, so that those Genbu ninjas who still have feelings in their hearts can only further suppress their inner feelings and dare not reveal any emotions.

   "This kind of thing... why don't you deal with it? I have lived so hard since I was a child, and they did it..."

  Naruto lowered his brows, his eyes somewhat lost.

  In his opinion, this so-called root is basically an evil organization.

  Turning humans into killing machines is completely different from the Konoha he knew in the past.

   Moreover, since I was treated as a demon fox since I was a child, it seems that I have nothing to do with this organization.

  Although I pretended not to care, I still felt a little unhappy when I thought about these things.

  I cannot identify with such an organization, and I am also my partner.

  Jirai was also slightly silent.

  He didn't know how to explain this to Naruto.

  He also tried hard to appeal to his teacher Hiruzaru Sarutobi in the past, and withdrew the root organization from Anbu, and disbanded the root before it posed a threat.

  However, his teacher Hiruza Sarutobi not only did not obey, but instead planted Orochimaru in the roots, and even provided funds and talents.

  The growth of the roots is inseparable from the indulgence of his mentor.

  “If you don't like it, try to change it.”

"Change?"

  Naruto raised his head and looked at Jiraiya who became serious.

   "That's right, isn't your dream to become Hokage? As long as you become Hokage, you can change everything."

   "Can I do this?"

  Naruto was a little unconfident.

  Although he lacks common sense, he also knows that during the ruling period of the third Hokage, this root organization was still alive and well. Now that the fifth generation of Hokage is in power, the other party can still place personnel in the seventh squad, which shows that this organization still has a very large influence...

   In other words, the opponent is a powerful existence that Hokage is difficult to defeat.

  Become Hokage, can you change all this?

   "Of course, because you are the son of prophecy in Mt. Miaomu's prophecy."

  If even the world can be saved, from Jiraiya's point of view, Konoha's problem is just a trivial problem to Naruto.

   Besides, given Danzo's physical condition, I am afraid that the remaining time for activities is limited.

  By the time Naruto becomes Hokage, Danzo may have already been lying in the coffin.

  As long as Danzo is dead, it will be much easier to merge the power of the roots and the fighting faction.

   "Also, you don't have to pay too much attention to the regulations on protecting you. You are indeed special to Konoha."

   Seems to have hit Naruto's pain point, and Naruto's face was a little unhappy.

   "How can you not care about..."

   "Do you know who the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was?"

   Regarding Naruto's stubbornness, Jiraiya ignored it and asked instead.

  Naruto showed a hesitant expression, obviously thinking of something.

   "I remember it was..."

   Obtained the inheritance of his parents, Naruto naturally knew some secrets.

   "That's right, it's your mother Uzumaki Kushina."

   Jilai also told Naruto the answer, and then continued:

   "When your mother was young, she was attacked by enemy ninjas more than once because of this identity, and countless Anbu sacrificed to protect her. What you are experiencing now is not fundamentally different from the protection your mother received back then."

"how come…"

"This is a fact."

   "Then did she accept it?"

   Naruto asked urgently.

"Accepted."

   Jiraiya's answer broke Naruto's inner expectations.

"Why?"

   "Why?" Jiraiya reversed this sentence, "There are not so many reasons, such sacrifices are worthwhile. It is precisely because of the sacrifices of those people that your mother survived the weak period smoothly."

   "Did she not resist?"

   "When I first found out, it was really sad. After all, let a stranger give everything for herself... Your mother is very kind, and she couldn't agree with such a thing at first. But she is not as self-pitying as you are. Her heart becomes stronger in the crisis after crisis, and finally chooses to turn the crisis into strength. Since this kind of protection is inevitable, then as long as I work hard to become stronger, I can reduce the burden of others to protect myself, so that more people can survive... This was her choice at the time. In the end, she became Konoha's most powerful seal ninja Or, even the sealing technique of your father's Fourth Hokage was taught by your mother himself."

  After Jiraiya's narration, Naruto's eyes were in a trance.

   In my mind, I couldn't help but outline the real picture of my mother growing up gradually.

  Thinking of this, Naruto couldn't help feeling ashamed.

  While he was still complaining about what others did for him, his mother had already chosen to make herself stronger, to lighten the burden on the Konoha ninja who protected her as much as possible...

  That's right, if such protection is inevitable, then try to live on and become stronger, no longer let others protect yourself one-way, but you can also protect those who protect yourself.

  Such a contribution is meaningful.

   "So, let's work hard to become stronger in the future. You have to work harder than before. Only in this way can you be worthy of these people who protect you... Try to reach the threshold where you can cultivate natural energy within the next six months."

   Jiraiya touched Naruto's hair and smiled peacefully.

  Strictly speaking, there is only one condition for practicing immortal art, and that is the need for chakra that is far superior to ordinary people.

   In other words, it requires a strong physique.

  Because the stronger the chakra, the stronger the body is needed as a container for storing chakra, otherwise the container will explode due to too strong chakra.

   This condition, Naruto has met.

  But Naruto also needs a second condition, that is control.

  Generally speaking, the stronger the ninja, the control power of Chakra basically has no problem, and it grows synchronously with the strengthening of Chakra.

  But Naruto's growth is different from most ninjas, it is the opposite.

  His powerful Chakra is born, coupled with the occasional interference from Nine-Tails, making his Chakra control level extremely poor.

  As long as this defect is overcome, Naruto will only have time on the road of practicing immortal arts.

   Jirai is also looking forward to the moment when Naruto learns the art of immortality.

   It will definitely be Konoha's strongest Nine-Tails Jinchuriki beyond the previous two generations.

   Naruto's emotions were appeased, and Jiraiya left, and came to another open space.

   "Thank you very much, Master Ziraiya, I was just thinking about how to comfort this kid."

  Tianzang walked out from the bushes, and smiled gratefully at Jilai.

   "You're welcome, this is my duty to perform. Next, Naruto needs to be managed by you. I can only take time to guide him occasionally."

   Jilai also turned around and said.

   As a Sannin, he has a very heavy task.

  Not only to collect information about the kingdom of ghosts, but also to secretly collect tail beast organizations, which is also a huge hidden danger.

  Different from the Kingdom of Ghosts, this organization operates in a more mysterious style. It has not revealed any clues so far, and only knows the identities of a few core members, but their whereabouts... To be honest, I am not absolutely sure.

   "Yes, next I will train his alertness, and then arrange him to learn the tricks of chakra control... In half a year, it should be almost finished."

  If you use normal teaching, Tianzang is not sure.

  But Naruto's shadow avatar assists the practice method, which has a great promotion effect, and he can't help but sigh Kakashi's mind, which is a perfect match for Naruto's practice method.

  Because many of Naruto's hidden dangers are shared by Kyuubi... Although the principle of shadow clone training seems simple, only enough chakra is needed, but if there is no Kyuubi in the body to bear part of the mental pressure, I am afraid it will not take long. Ninjas who practice in this way may have mental breakdowns and become idiots if they continue for a long time.

  However, even for Naruto, there are risks in practicing in this way.

  That is, it will unnaturally reveal the Nine-Tails Chakra, leading to Naruto's Tailed Beast.

   Therefore, when Naruto practiced with shadow clones, the number could only be kept within a few. If this amount is exceeded, Naruto will become a tailed beast, making it difficult to control himself.

   And his role is reflected.

  His wood dun has the effect of suppressing the tailed beast chakra. Even if Naruto doubles the shadow clones on the original basis, his wood dun can avoid the risk of Naruto becoming a tailed beast.

  With the combination of several effects, and Jiraiya coming here to give guidance from time to time, Tianzang is confident that within the next six months, Naruto's strength will be raised to the standard Jonin level, and it is not impossible to even go further.

   Then you can go to Mount Miaomu to practice the so-called fairy art.

  Tianzang also couldn't help but sigh that Naruto's future growth has unlimited potential.

   At that time, it will also be Konoha's powerful deterrent weapon to the outside world. For Konoha today, the importance of Naruto is self-evident.

  Sai is right, in order to achieve this goal, he, the top executive of Anbu, can also sacrifice himself to protect Naruto.

   "Then I will trouble you. This is an auxiliary cultivation medicine specially made by Tsunade for Naruto. You should give it to Naruto regularly when you practice in the future."

   Jiraiya took out a medicine bottle from his arms and put it in Tianzang's hand.

   "Is it the medicine made by Naruto-sama himself?"

  Tianzang took the bottle of medicine in surprise.

  He naturally wouldn't think that this was some suspicious drug.

  With Tsunade's mind, he will not make any cultivation medicine with huge side effects. It is likely to be a cultivation medicine that will be effective in the long run, rather than damage Naruto's foundation for short-term benefits. This is just not worth the candle.

   Waiting for Naruto to grow up, Konoha can still squeeze out this little time.

   "Of course, the other two can also be used by them. After all, as a guide, you can't favor one over another, otherwise it will not be conducive to the team's running-in."

  At the end, Zilai also added this sentence.

"I see."

  Tianzang nodded seriously, stuffed the medicine bottle into the ninja bag, and kept it carefully.

   Konoha 61, end of October.

  Spring goes to autumn, and suddenly, half of the year has passed.

  In the name of military exercises, Konoha used the six months or so to conduct a military exercise at the border almost every month. The number of ninjas participating in an exercise ranged from a thousand to as many as two thousand.

  Although at the beginning, the small country adjacent to the Nation of Fire still feared that the Nation of Fire would launch a war of external expansion. But when he found out that Konoha Ninja Village was really serious about carrying out military exercises without any external expansion, he couldn't help but feel at ease.

  Small countries are peaceful, but big countries are not so peaceful.

  Because of Konoha's sudden move, other major powers had to use the same name of military exercises to reinforce their own ninjas to the front line to prevent Konoha's move.

  Among them, only the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Ghosts did not make any moves.

  The former is an alliance with the Fire Nation, and Sand Hidden Village is also relieved of Konoha Ninja Village. It symbolically reinforces a hundred ninjas on the eastern border, which is to echo Konoha Village's military drama.

  The latter country of ghosts is simply not necessary to guard against the military exercises of Konoha Ninja Village, because the distance between the two countries is too far.

  Whether walking by land or by sea, it is not easy for Konoha to reach the kingdom of ghosts smoothly.

  Especially the ninja villages in the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth will not allow Konoha's ninjas to invade their territory.

  With such natural protection, it is reasonable for the Kingdom of Ghosts to have no reaction to this.

  In general, the big countries tend to be stable, most of the small countries are content with the status quo of peace, and a small number of small countries have begun to experience chaos. For example, some civil organizations have obtained a batch of black arms from nowhere, and conflicts with the local ruling nobles have begun.

  According to reliable sources, there are ninjas among these rebels.

  Although their strength is not very strong, they are stronger than ordinary people, and they have caused a lot of trouble to the ruling nobles of the country.

   This is very strange, because in the past, there were no ninjas in these small countries. The only armed force was the samurai group who joined the nobles and served the nobles.

   At this time, ninja forces appeared in the country, which caught the ruling nobles a little off guard.

   According to the investigation, these ninjas are indeed from the country.

  A year or two ago, they were just ordinary people.

   Regarding the reasons for the emergence of these ninjas, some countries are uneasy, some countries are furious, and some countries choose to remain silent and focus on self-preservation... because they all have a vague guess in their hearts, which force secretly cultivated these civilian ninja groups ruled by reactionary aristocrats.

  —The country of ghosts.

   It must be them.

  They secretly funded civil rebel organizations in some small countries. They not only provided assistance with weapons, but also selected suitable members from these rebel organizations to train them into ninjas and further strengthen their armed forces.

  For a while, the strength of these rebel organizations was directly equal to or even faintly surpassed the armed forces of the country's aristocratic group.

  Although some small countries filed complaints to the other big countries, asking them to put pressure on the ghost country together to prevent such chaos... However, the letters of appeal were placed on the desks of the big names of the big countries, but what greeted them were only superficial words.

   This made the daimyo of the small country disturbed by the ghost country feel angry, thinking that these big countries are all colluding and want to use war to profit from the small country.

   At the same time, they also cursed the short-sightedness of the daimyo of the big country. The kingdom of ghosts is so hostile to the aristocratic group. If the aristocratic group of these small countries fell, the interests and prestige of the aristocrats of the big country would inevitably be affected.

  Despite the curse in their hearts, the rest of the big countries almost ignored the matter, and they had no choice but to hold together for warmth, relying on their own strength to deal with the ghost country's strategy of encroaching on small countries.

  —The military jurisdiction of the ghost country, located in the large conference room on the fourth floor of the office building.

  The top military officials of the Oni Country gathered here.

  On the front wall, there is a detailed and complete ninja map.

  The names and domains of all countries and neutral forces are marked on it.

  Even those small countries with little reputation in the ninja world, or even isolated from the world, are clearly marked on the map.

   Some of the small countries are painted in red, and some of them are marked with red crosses.

  Back to everyone present, Shiraishi stood in front of this Ninja World map, staring at a small corner on the map, as if thinking about something.
