Escape From Konoha Chapter 581

  Chapter 581 Conflict

  In the country of the pond, in the wild forest.

   A group of people stopped here temporarily and sat down around an open space.

  Seeing the burning bonfire, Sakura quickly set the grill on the bonfire with skillful techniques, and then caught Naruto and Sai back with the same skillful technique. After cleaning the fish, they sprang up with wooden sticks and put them on the grill for roasting.

   After a while, the smell of fish meat wafted into the air, making Naruto around the grill growl.

   "Sakura, are you still okay? This is too slow."

   Naruto, who was already hungry and growling, couldn't wait to eat the grilled fish that Sakura personally grilled.

  However, regarding Naruto's impatience, Sakura just rolled her eyes at him, and said, "It's early, and there are still seasonings that haven't been sprinkled. Besides, you are too impatient, and the grilled fish won't run away by itself."

   "But, my stomach is already flattened."

  Naruto caressed his as if shriveled belly, wearing only a pair of large four-cornered underpants, jacket, coat and pants, all wet from fishing in the water, and they were being baked on a simple clothes hanger made with wooden sticks aside.

   Not only that, Sai is also dressed in the same way, and the clothes are put aside to bake, trying to get rid of them as soon as possible.

   "Really, if it wasn't because you had diarrhea several times on the way and wasted a lot of time, we would have already arrived in the town to receive supplies, so there is no need to eat in the wild."

  Sakura complained in a tone of voice.

   "Haha." Naruto scratched his head in embarrassment: "This is a force majeure factor."

  At this moment, Tianzang walked over from the bushes, saw Naruto and the three sitting here safe and sound, and nodded.

   "Captain Yamato, how is the surrounding situation?"

  Sakura spoke to Tenzo while proficiently using the barbecue technique she learned at her own barbecue restaurant.

   "Don't worry, the cordon has been set up, if there is any movement, I will be alert in advance."

  Because Naruto was kidnapped a few months ago, every time he came out to perform missions, especially when he stayed in the wild, Tianzang would be extremely vigilant and set up a cordon around him to prevent anyone from coming to attack him.

  Even though Naruto has received strict raid training due to previous incidents and has improved his ability to sense danger, he still cannot be careless about it.

  Once Jinchuriki is targeted, it means that the ninja who is targeting Naruto is absolutely extraordinary in strength and needs to be taken seriously.

   "Speaking of which, Captain Yamato, after returning this time, you should be able to increase the difficulty of the mission. I'm tired of doing C-level missions, either expelling beasts or escorting dignitaries. I always feel that there is no challenge."

   Seeing Tianzang come back, Naruto began to explain his appeal.

  I hope that the other party can come to Tsunade to speak and improve the difficulty of the task of the seventh class.

  With the rapid improvement of strength, Naruto is no longer satisfied with the C-level tasks.

  After all, I have been training hard for the past six months. I gritted my teeth and finished the alert training arranged above. My physical ability has also been greatly improved, and my chakra control skills are also improving day by day. Now I urgently need a real battlefield to test my current strength.

   "Naruto, it's useless for you to tell me about this matter. The final decision is made by Hokage-sama."

  Tianzang smiled helplessly.

   "However, Grandma Tsunade said that she must fully obtain the approval of the Jonin before she can perform more difficult tasks."

   Naruto muttered in dissatisfaction.

   "Hey, Naruto, that's Hokage-sama, you're always yelling like a mother-in-law, it's too rude."

  Sakura turned her head and blamed Naruto.

   "But, she is also in her fifties, she is as old as a lecherous fairy, what is it if she is not a mother-in-law?"

  Naruto tilted his head, looking at Sakura suspiciously.

  After all, he called the third Hokage Grandpa Hokage, and calling the current Hokage Granny is no different.

  In his eyes, in this era where the average life expectancy is generally less than forty, Tsunade is in his fifties, and he is already considered a genuine long-lived old man.

   "That said, that's Hokage-sama, so it's best to change the name."

   Sakura looked at Naruto with a headache.

  Among Konoha, only this guy dares to act recklessly.

   "Okay, stop arguing, you two, let's have dinner next time. This task has worked hard for you, and then I will live in the town for one night. The hot springs in this country are still very famous."

   Tianzang stopped the two of them and said with a smile.

  The grilled fish on the grill is ready to eat.

   "Great, I can finally take a break."

   Naruto cried out happily.

  The mission this time is to **** a caravan to the port of Linzhiguo, a neighboring country of Chizhiguo, safely. Because of the long distance, it is still a simple C-level mission. The robbers encountered during the period can be dealt with immediately. Therefore, during the mission, most of the time it was very boring, either on the road or on the road, and there was no exciting battle, which made Naruto completely unmotivated.

  Seeing Naruto's happy look, Tianzang couldn't help but secretly smiled wryly, and knew that the other party was a little bit suffocated recently. After all, he had this kind of thinking in the past.

   After finally succeeding in cultivation, even a normal ninja wants to find a suitable stage to show off his skills and enjoy the treatment like a star.

  However, today Zang doesn't think so anymore, he has already experienced this period of life, and with Anbu's responsibilities, he is mainly low-key.

  It is a good thing that the mission is boring. All ninjas with certain experience hope that the mission they perform will be completed smoothly.

   While the four of them were eating grilled fish, Tianzang, who was sitting on a rock, suddenly frowned, and slowly stopped chewing the fish.

   "Captain, what's wrong?"

   Sai was the first to notice the strangeness on Tianzang's face, and asked.

  I saw Tianzang jumped down from the rock, put down the grilled fish in his hand, and glanced into the depths of the forest, his eyes were deep and deep, and his face was full of dignity, as if he had discovered something.

   "Captain Yamato?"

  Naruto and Sakura also looked over and blinked.

   "Someone touched the cordon I put around..."

   As he spoke, Tianzang asked Sai to help him hold his grilled fish, and lay down on his stomach, leaning his ears lightly on the ground, as if he was listening to something.

   Then he stretched out a finger, and a finger-width wooden strip appeared on the finger, which penetrated into the ground and broke through the ground.

   After a few seconds passed, Tianzang stood up again, with a more serious expression on his face.

   "To the east, there's fighting, and there's a lot of it."

   While speaking, a loud bang came from a distance.

  The direction of the sound source is the east where Tianzang pointed out.

   Fierce flames soared into the sky, and black smoke billowed out, dispelling the chill in the forest at once.

   After the explosion, the ground was slowed down for a few seconds, and then there was a vibration, and even Naruto and the others were slightly affected.

"what happened?"

   Naruto looked at the burning forest in surprise, showing surprise.

   "This kind of explosion sound is not a detonating symbol...it sounds like..."

  Although the sound of the explosion was close to the detonating symbol, if you carefully distinguish it, there is still a clear difference, Saii judged.

  The sound of fighting sounded in the forest.

  Both sides are wearing uniform uniforms, one of them is mainly a samurai, holding a samurai sword that cuts iron like mud, and the other is wearing a simple but chilling sergeant uniform. Although he wears a saber at his waist, he holds a kunai gun in his hand that can shoot kunai.

  In just a split second, several kunai were fired from the muzzle of the gun, shooting at the samurai like lightning.

   And this is just one person, dozens of people launched a gun formation, and in an instant, there were hundreds of black raindrops like black raindrops, forming a dense killing net, and the killing came without any warning.

  The samurai relied on their swift body skills and keen eyesight to charge forward while waving their katana swords while dodging the jets of kunai.

   "Earth Dungeon Crack the Earth and turn your palm!"

  Soldiers holding Kunai guns, one of them suddenly put down the Kunai guns in his hands, and instead formed seals with both hands, performing earth escape ninjutsu.

  The ground collapsed suddenly, and the warriors who charged forward immediately lost their feet, and their bodies began to tilt involuntarily as the ground collapsed.

   And Kunai would not stop shooting as the situation under their feet became chaotic.

   Rather, the soldiers shot the samurai with heightened emotion as the ground crumbled beneath their feet.

   "Don't panic! Everyone pay attention to your feet!"

  Ninjas are strong, but they serve the daimyo of a country, each of them is the best of the samurai. It is a bit too overwhelming for ordinary ninjas to use this method to take them down.

  In this era, it is true that ninjas are strong, but the power of a down-and-out samurai can still maintain a certain status.

  And a powerful samurai, even a jonin, can kill with superb sword skills.

  Suddenly, there was a whooping sound in the sky, and the warriors looked up.

  A few projectiles fired from the depths of the forest like fireworks, mixed in Kunai's killing net, and flew to their side.

  With the sound of clicking, the projectile was instantly covered with a layer of light that was more blazing than sunlight.

  For a while, the sky was dyed silvery white.

  The eyes of the warriors were disconnected from their vision.

Oops!

  The warriors had only this thought in their minds.

   Before they could evacuate, a loud bang exploded among them, interrupting their consciousness. The warriors affected by the shock wave of the explosion rolled on the ground disoriented.

  Just as he stood up, the sound of Kunai piercing through the air came.

  The sharp blade pierced through their flesh and blood, causing them to scream terribly.

  Such screams kept coming and going, and the elite samurai troops serving the daimyo struggled in an extremely embarrassing manner under such endless means of targeting.

  The bombing and kunai explosion lasted for a minute, and there was only a mess left on the battlefield. There were less than one-twelfth of the warriors who could stay awake, but even if they could still stand up, their combat power was very weak and they had no strength to resist.

  The soldiers who defeated the samurai army went forward to capture this group of samurai who did not die. According to the above statement, these are precious labor forces. The future road construction and national construction of Chizhi Country will depend on them.

  Despite the instructions above, as long as the enemy does not lay down their arms, then no living force can be released.

  However, on the premise of ensuring the safety of our own side, we can capture the enemy's vital forces as much as possible, and there must be no waste.

  The current situation is obvious. They have won a big victory here. Even if the warriors can breathe, they have lost the power to resist. They are the most suitable labor force.

  The soldiers were very excited when they thought that the samurai, who used to be aloof and arrogant to them with the nobles, were now their prisoners.

   "Hey, what are you doing? Stop it!"

  The sudden appearance of the voice startled the soldiers who stepped forward, completely unaware that someone would approach here.

  Seeing a yellow-haired figure rushing out, some of the soldiers subconsciously pulled the trigger of the Kunai gun and fired the Kunai from the muzzle.

  However, although the kunai was fired at a fast speed, Naruto still easily dodged it, allowing the kunai with the wind attribute chakra to penetrate a tree behind him, and there was still no tendency to stop.

   "Who are you, why are you here?"

  I thought it was the support of the Daming Prefecture, but when he saw Naruto's costume which was very different from that of the samurai and soldiers of the Daming Prefecture, as well as the ninja forehead on his head, the leading captain breathed a sigh of relief.

   "I'm Konoha's ninja, what are you doing here? They shouldn't be robbers, why are you killing each other here?"

  Seeing the samurai fell on the ground, some samurai fell asleep forever, some samurai were dying, looking extremely miserable, Naruto couldn't bear to see it, so he questioned the soldiers.

   "What does this have to do with you Konoha ninjas? Get out of the way, or I will attack you together!"

  The soldier captain stepped out and confronted Naruto with a stern gleam in his eyes.

   As he said that, the soldiers behind the soldier captain pointed all the kunai guns in their hands at Naruto, ready to launch an overwhelming offensive at any time.

  Naruto's heart is also tense, he knows such things as Kunai Gun.

  In the ninja school, this weapon was introduced.

  The kunai carried in this kind of firearm is smelted from metal that can conduct chakra. The gunnai is also equipped with a chakra attachment system that attaches wind attribute chakra to the kunai, so that even ordinary people who cannot control chakra can use this weapon at will to attack existences that are far stronger than themselves.

  Even ninjas are hard to dodge under intensive attacks.

   is a very epoch-making 'automatic crossbow' weapon.

   But the power, speed, range, and accuracy of the attack far surpassed the automatic crossbow, and it was more convenient to carry than the automatic crossbow.

  If so many people shoot the kunai in the kunai gun together, even Naruto will have to work hard.

   What's more, he felt the extremely murderous aura from this army. This is definitely an elite team that has experienced many **** battles!

  Even when facing a ninja, he didn't have the slightest timidity. What he thought about was how to defeat and kill the opponent.

   "Wood escape · four-pillar prison technique!"

  Accompanied by this sound, a large number of pillars of wood were neatly erected from the ground, and a huge wooden prison was formed in an instant, imprisoning the soldier captain and dozens of soldiers behind him in the wooden prison.

  Tianzang brought Sakura and Sai to Naruto, and it was Tianzang who performed ninjutsu.

  Tianzang glanced at the warriors who fell on the ground, especially when he saw the family badges on the clothes of the warriors, he couldn't help being surprised, then he looked at the soldiers who had been locked in the wooden cage by himself, and asked puzzledly:

   "Who are you guys? Those who were injured by you should be warriors who directly belonged to the great masters of the Ikeno country. Are you too courageous?"

   Every nobleman, just like the ninja, has his own family crest.

  The coats of arms on these warriors are the coats of arms of the great masters of the Ikeno country, representing the face of the great masters.

  At the border of Ikenokuni, the samurai who attacked the Daming Mansion of Ikenokuni surprised Tenzo a little.

   "Tell you, we are fighting the samurai of famous masters!"

  Facing Tianzang's questioning, the soldier captain did not show any cowardice, and said in a deep voice.

   Not only Tianzang, but even Naruto's three heads were full of question marks.

   No matter how you look at it, this Mr. Captain doesn't look like someone with a brain problem.

   "In short, let us go quickly, you Konoha ninjas should not want to intervene in other countries' political diplomatic affairs, and bear some charges."

  The soldier captain not only did not reflect on himself, but calmly threatened Tianzang and others in turn.

  Tianzang has never seen such an arrogant bandit, not only attacked the troops of the Daming Prefecture, but also threatened Konoha Ninja Village in turn.

   But are these people really robbers?

  Tian Zang looked at the soldiers in uniform in the prison, and they were full of energy and disciplined. They didn't look like robbers who robbed houses.

  However, it is also true that they attacked the samurai of the Daimyo Mansion in Ikeno Country.

   Tianzang was a little confused.

  Tianzang was about to continue to ask questions, when two figures suddenly walked out of the bushes beside him, which immediately caught Tianzang's gaze, causing his pupils to shrink slightly, revealing a dignified look.

  The two people who appeared were young women about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a clean priestess costume, incompatible with the blood on the battlefield.

   "Mr. Ninja from Konoha, this is a domestic matter within Ikenokuni. Too much interference will put you Konoha under indifferent criticism."

  A wandering witch said to Tianzang.

"…I see."

   Sweeping the faces of the two wandering witches without a trace, although he was a little puzzled, he also knew that if people from the kingdom of ghosts intervened, he would probably cause some trouble if he made another move.

  So, he unlocked the wood escape ninjutsu and let the soldiers regain their freedom.

   "Thank you so much. So, please, gentlemen."

   After Yunyou Miko finished speaking, she stopped talking to Tianzang and the others, but went to the samurai who were not dead, and treated them with medical ninjutsu, with a holy look of compassion.

   "Captain Yamato, what is going on?"

   Sakura asked in confusion.

  I always felt that the atmosphere here became very weird after the two wandering witches came out.

  The escaped soldiers stared at them with great vigilance, as if they were afraid that they would make trouble here.

   And attacked the samurai of the Daming Prefecture, and said that this was the housework of the country of Ikeno... It is a bit weird to say the least.

   "Nothing, let's go."

  Tianzang shook his head. He didn't know what the inside story was, but in short, it was the best choice not to get involved with the people from the Kingdom of Ghosts during the mission.

  Besides, he didn't intend to stand up for these samurai at first, he was just worried about Naruto, so he had no choice but to ask about the situation.

  Since it is related to the ghost country, there is no need to inquire further.

   It is the best policy to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

   "The captain is right, it's better not to meddle in other people's business. Things will become very troublesome if people from the kingdom of ghosts target you."

   Sai glanced at the position of the Wandering Priestess, with vigilance in his eyes.

  Intuition told him that it was no accident that the wandering witch appeared here.

   But due to lack of intelligence, they don't know exactly what happened.

  Located in the port of Ikenokuni, an armored battleship made of steel, among the large number of ships, is very eye-catching and moored on the sea.

  On the deck of the battleship, Kazuhime was holding a single-lens military telescope, scanning the capital of Ikenokuni, which is the whole picture of the port city in front of him.

  The Daimyo Mansion of Ikeno Country is built in the center of the city. It is an incomparably magnificent castle. Its gorgeous pavilions towering in the castle have become the most eye-catching buildings in the port city.

  Standing in that kind of place, you can also take the whole city into your field of vision, which is an excellent location to enjoy the scenery.

   There was a sound behind him, and a Jonin from the Oni no Kuni wearing Chakra armor came here.

   "Master Ichihime."

   "Are the troops over there concentrated?"

  Ichihime did not put down the binoculars in her hand, and continued to look at the highest attic of the Daming Mansion, thinking how many shells would be needed to let off the attic as a beautiful firework.

  A building like this gorgeous, placed on a high place, and with important authoritative symbolic significance, in her opinion, is the best target to erect.

   "Yes." The Oniguno Jōnin wearing Chakra armor nodded, and continued to report: "More than that, according to the information we got, Ikenokuni Daimyo has asked Konoha Ninja Village for help. Do you need..."

   "There is no need to stop them on the road, just let them do whatever they want. Konoha's ninjas will not fight us here. Moreover, maybe they haven't met Ikenokuni Daimyo, and our deployment has been completed."

  Ichihime put down the binoculars in her hand, and the chilly sea breeze blowing from a distance also brought a cold current, but Yiji didn't care about the chill at all.

   "Let's go ahead with the notification. At ten o'clock tonight, let them break through the Daming Mansion. If Konoha Ninja really intends to intervene, we will take corresponding measures here to help them stop Konoha's ninja."

"yes!"

   Oni nokuni Jōnin nodded, and went down to summon Kazuhime's order.
