Escape From Konoha Chapter 620

Chapter 620 Transaction

It was just dawn, and since the curtains had been drawn, the room was still relatively dark.

A slender arm that looked white even in the dark stretched out from the thin and soft quilt. It was not covered by any material, and the exposed shoulders, and even the position of the collarbone were in direct contact with the air.

"Is it already daylight?"

The man behind the girl gently hugged her weak and petite body in his arms. The feeling was like embracing a ball of cotton, only soft without feeling the slightest weight.

"Well, it's already six o'clock."

The girl stretched out the palm of the thin quilt to pick up the clock on the bedside cabinet, and glanced at it. The time displayed on it was a few minutes past six in the morning.

Hearing these words, the man reluctantly let go of the girl's body, sat up on the bed, and began to look for clothes.

"Are you going out? Lord Wu?"

The girl opened her sleepy eyes, as if she was greedy for the breath of the man, and was reluctant to part with his reaction to getting up.

Reminiscing about the lingering love last night, her face couldn't help but blushed with shyness, and she felt warm in her heart.

"Yes, I just received a secret mission a few days ago, and it will start to execute today."

"A time like this? Really, the festival has just passed, and the people above are too ignorant of people's hearts..."

The girl frowned, obviously not very satisfied with the arrangement of the upper echelon.

"We are ninjas, so there is nothing we can do about it."

Touching the girl's slightly unkempt hair, the smile on the man's face was always gentle.

Being touched by the man's hair, the girl's dissatisfaction was relieved, and she nodded obediently a little shyly.

"If you are tired, you can rest at home today. I may not be able to see you for a long time."

"It's okay, I will always wait for you. But be careful when performing tasks, and put your own life safety as the most important thing in everything."

Lifted up from the bed, climbed onto the man's shoulder, whispered, expressing endless sweetness and nostalgia.

"Don't worry, I'm still a member of Konoha's Jōninshu. Even if there is an accident, it's very easy to leave."

Seeing the confident look of the man, the girl's expression also felt relieved following his words.

The man suddenly held the girl's palm, and there was a warm breath from the broad palm, which made the girl feel a sense of security from within.

I just heard him say: "Besides, when my mission is over, let's get married, Masumi."

"Um."

Without any hesitation, the girl's voice of promise resounded softly in the room.

A month has passed since then.

Although he knew for a long time that this secret mission carried out by his fiancé Fujisaki Takeshi would take a long time, and he would not be able to meet him during the mission...but this time is too long.

There were several times when Asami Masumi wanted to go directly to Sandai Hokage and ask about her fiancé's recent situation.

But based on the principle of not wanting to cause trouble to her fiancé, she endured the anxiety in her heart so that outsiders could not see anything from the surface.

"It would be great if I also quickly became a jonin..."

Asami Masumi has been dissatisfied with her own strength more than once.

It is true that at a young age, I took the position of the leader of the drug development team in the pharmaceutical department. My own strength is also one of the few in Chunin, but there is still a huge gap from the level of Jounin.

The life in the drug development team of the pharmacy department is very boring. I go to work on time every day and come to the workplace to research and develop new drugs.

With the end of the Second Ninja World War, although the countries have ushered in a short-term peace, they are still competing with each other secretly. The enthusiasm of various major countries for the support of medical ninjas and the medical industry is unprecedented.

Even the ghost country, a neutral country in the far west of the mainland, has recently founded a large comprehensive pharmaceutical company and started to seize the market, hoping to get a share of it.

As the leader of the drug development team and the third team, one can imagine the burden on her.

As the youngest rookie among the team leaders of the drug development team, although her colleagues didn't say anything, they must be pointing at her secretly. Can a little girl under twenty years old really be able to hold such an important position as team leader?

Compared to the 30-40-year-old team leader of the other development teams, her age sitting in this position is indeed very criticized.

After all, she is a promising Jonin fiancée in the village, and she may have come to this position through her relationship.

This made Asami Masumi want to take out the scalpel more than once and cut open the chests of these guys.

Because of this kind of remarks, not only her, but even Takeshi Fujisaki, who is her fiance, was also accused by them.

What a blast!

"I don't know what's going on with Wu Jun..."

Having no contact for a month in a row, and also not knowing what kind of mission her fiancé was performing, in the last few days, Asami Masumi has actually felt something is wrong.

It's just that she chooses to believe in her fiancé's strength. As a member of Konoha Ninja, even if she encounters danger, it should be very easy to escape.

But on the other hand, Asami Masumi couldn't help worrying that if her fiancé failed to perform the task, she would encounter the same thing as Konoha Shirato.

Because in Asami Masumi's mind, her fiancé, like Konoha Shirato, is a man who cherishes the lives of those around him.

Besides, as the captain of the team, if he gave up on the task to protect the life of his companions, such a thing may happen.

It has been less than half a year since Konoha Baiya committed suicide, and the aftermath of this incident still lingers in Konoha Village.

Asami Masumi can only hope that her fiancé can turn the bad luck into good luck and complete the task smoothly.

"Leader Asami, someone is looking for you."

Following this voice, Asami Masumi raised her head.

Following the finger of the medical ninja who woke him up, he looked towards the door of the laboratory.

A teenager about his own age was standing at the door of the laboratory, smiling at himself.

Chiba Shiraishi.

He must be a classmate of the same period in the medical experiment class of Ninja School.

Although he was a classmate at the same time, he instinctively didn't want to have any contact with this guy.

The other party is in a different field than myself. I am good at drug research and development, while the other party has medical knowledge that cannot be compared with ordinary medical ninjas, and his practical ability is also quite good. Currently, he is following Tsunade, one of the three ninjas, and is in charge of education at the ninja school to train the new generation of medical ninjas.

He used to be a member of the White Fang team, but he has quit. People have a lot of comments on him, but most of them are mocking names like 'soft rice boy'.

After all, the person who 'nurtures' him is not ordinary, the eldest lady of the wealthy Uchiha family, and a strong contender for the next Uchiha patriarch.

There are also some gossip rumors that the other party seems to have a close relationship with a certain woman from Hinata's family.

"Long time no see, Asami-san."

Baishi smiled as soon as he came up.

As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person with your hand. Although she instinctively dislikes this guy, Asami Masumi nodded: "Yeah, I haven't seen you for a while. So, Chibsan, is there anything you need to ask me?"

"This is the analysis of drug data compiled by Mr. Tsunade, and he said that a copy should be given to all drug development teams in the pharmacy department."

Shiraishi took out a few documents under his arm, and put it in front of Asami Masumi, smiling slightly.

"Really? Sorry to trouble you."

Take the file.

"Speaking of which, Asami-san is really amazing. She was able to lead a team so quickly and take the position of team leader. In my case, it's totally impossible."

Baishi scratched his head, with a look of praise.

"yes."

responded perfunctorily.

"I heard that Asami-san, you are already engaged to someone. When do you plan to get married?"

"Probably in the near future."

Why isn't this guy leaving?

"That's it, don't forget to send the invitation, I will wrap up the red envelope."

"let's discuss it later."

There was a response without a sentence. Bai Shi seemed to have completely missed the awkward atmosphere between the two, and was about to find another topic when a voice suddenly intervened:

"Are you Masumi Asami, the fiancée of Takenin Fujisaki?"

This voice attracted the attention of Masumi Asami and Shiraishi.

A figure appeared in the corridor, wearing Anbu's clothes and a beige hooded coat, he was a sub-unit leader of Anbe.

Those who achieve this position are among the best among Jonin.

"Yes...what can I do?"

Asami Masumi saw Anbe's sub-captain personally looking for him, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

Suppressing her panic, she met the mask on the captain of the dark part.

The captain of the dark part did not answer, but just took out a blood-stained forehead and handed it to Asami Masumi.

"This is the relic of Fujisaki Jonin."

Because it was so sudden, Asami Masumi's mind went blank and she forgot to reply.

The captain of the dark part also knows that this blow is a bit big for a little girl, but he still adds the following words:

"Although it may be difficult for you to accept, this is the fact. When Fujisaki Jonin and his teammates were performing missions, they encountered an unexpected situation. His team was wiped out, and the body could not be found. At the scene, only the helmet that fell to the ground was found. Hokage-sama... is also very sorry about this."

Asami Masumi was still standing there blankly, with a very blank expression on her face, and she hardly listened to a single word that Captain Anbu said.

"Then, I will take my leave first."

The captain of the dark part knew that any consolation at this time could not offset the sadness in the person's heart, so he turned and left, and returned to Hokage.

Shiraishi looked at the captain of the dark part who was leaving, and then at Masumi Asami who was standing there blankly, with tears streaming from the corner of his eyes, and left here silently without saying anything.

Anbu, the incineration room, a place used to handle 'secrets'.

Located in a remote corner of the headquarters of the Anbu, the staff is very sparse, basically they are so-called civilians, and they are not responsible for force.

The only task of the people working here is to deal with expired or abandoned 'items' by Hokage.

These items may be some documents, or it may be the...'corpse' of a certain ninja!

Wearing a white gown with a little smell, and wearing a gas mask on his head, as an idle department in the Anbu, the ninjas working here are generally not high in strength.

But since it is in the Anbu headquarters, even in a remote corner, it is not easy to sneak in silently.

However, this kind of thing is not difficult for the general.

As an idle department in the Anbu, the defense here is useless in its eyes.

I saw Shiraishi walking out of the shadow of the incineration chamber, and glanced at the earth general who appeared from the ground, and Konoha ninja who was fainted by the earth general medicine.

Then he looked at the corner of the incineration room, where a large number of items were piled up.

A few of the items were conspicuously placed neatly and sealed with cloth bags so that no one could see what was inside the cloth bags.

Baishi walked up to one of the cloth bags, and unzipped the zipper, revealing a pale and bloodless man's face.

There is no doubt that this is a male corpse.

And this male corpse, which I still know, is Masumi Asami's fiance Takeshi Fujisaki.

At a young age, he was promoted to the position of Jonin, and it can be said that he has a bright future.

However, at this time, it was just a corpse that had already cooled down.

Moreover, it is about to be thrown into the incinerator for incineration.

Taking the corpse out of the cloth bag, Shiraishi sealed it in a blank scroll that he carried with him, and then looked at General Tu.

"You will replace him next, and then find a chance to leave."

"￥&*&...%￥#!"

"It seems that you agreed, and you have also learned to actively recommend yourself, so act quickly, time is running out."

General Tu obediently lay down in the empty cloth bag, his body began to deform and turned into a male corpse, and finally he took the initiative to close the zipper.

About a minute later, the comatose staff member sat upright from the seat, looked at the puddle of saliva on the table, removed the gas mask from his head, threw it aside, and scratched his head in a daze.

Why did I fall asleep here?

"Really, it must be because of being too tired. The work here is really boring..."

complained in a low voice.

Although he joined the Anbu, he was sent to such a remote department to deal with all kinds of 'garbage', which was completely different from what he had imagined at the beginning.

Looking at the burning incinerator, the staff put on the gas mask again, and picked up the cloth bag with heavy objects in the corner of the wall.

Judging from his years of experience, there must be corpses inside.

But in line with the principle that the more you know, the sooner you die, he didn't open it out of curiosity.

As Anbu, one must first understand that there is not only light in this village, but also darkness opposite to light.

So, like a well-programmed machine, he threw the cloth bag containing the corpse into the incinerator and burned it until it was reduced to ashes.

The rainy season in midsummer is also very cold.

Especially at dusk, when it was about to fall into the night, the sultry air dissipated from the top of Konoha Village.

Not many people attended the funeral of Fujisaki Takenin.

In addition to his fiancée Asami Masumi, there are only Takeshi Fujisaki's work partners, and the third generation of Hokage himself.

Looking at Takeshi Fujisaki's tombstone, the expression of Hirzen III Hokage seems to be more depressed than that of Asami Masumi.

Smoking a pipe that couldn't be lit in the rain, although he still has strong black hair, his face has more wrinkles than usual.

He, like Asami Masumi, was silent in the rain without saying a word. After a long time, he moved his stiff body a little. He didn't expect the air in this season to be so cold.

There is no body of its owner in the tomb, only a washed forehead.

"Master Naruto."

Asami Masumi came behind Hirzen and bowed slightly.

"Wu's matter, I'm sorry, I didn't expect such an accident to happen..."

Hi Zhan's face was very haggard. He looked at the tombstone in front of him, with indescribable bitterness in his mouth.

Whether it's Sakumo or Takeshi Fujisaki... This year's Konoha has lost two young Jonin with great prospects.

So, looking at the smiling young man in the black and white photo of the tombstone, his expression became even sadder.

"I want to know what mission Wu Jun is performing?"

The creepy calm words, in her tone, there was no sadness or regret, only an incredible calm.

Hi Zhan turned around, and for the first time seriously looked at the fiancée of his trusted subordinate... Although the lenses of the glasses were covered with raindrops, those black and white eyes seemed to penetrate layers of rain, piercing people's hearts, like sharp knives.

"It's about the safety of the village. Some confidential missions cannot be disclosed to the public. Even if they are outdated, they will only be dealt with secretly. Asa Michunin, as a ninja, I think you should understand this."

The earnest and caring words did not satisfy Asami Masumi.

She just wanted to know what secret mission her fiancé was performing and why he died...even the body couldn't be found!

It was hard for her to accept.

There is a sense of despair.

"Even I can't tell?"

"Although you are Wu's fiancée, rules are rules, and I can only say regret. Moreover, I think Wu Quan knows better, and I don't want you to fall into the vortex of hatred. For him, it is more important for you to live well. Because you are his only living relative."

This kind of consolation seems ridiculous to Asami Masumi.

But I also know that Sandai Hokage's attitude is very firm, and he will not tell himself what the mission of his fiancé Fujisaki Takeshi is, and why he died in the end.

No matter how you ask, you will probably get a sentence of "heroically died in the line of duty"!

As a wife, don't you even have the right to avenge your husband?

"The rules of the village will not be changed by anyone, and... it is very painful to fall into endless hatred. I hope you can inherit Wu's will and live well."

After saying this, Hiraku sighed sadly, and with deep guilt, missed Masumi Asami in the rain and drifted away.

Asami Masumi stood alone in the rain, the cold rainwater slid down her skin and soaked her clothes, making her look lonely and helpless.

Looking at the water-stained palm, looking at the palm lines on it, in Asami Masumi's eyes, a look of bewilderment and pain emerged.

In the end, will the right to revenge be deprived even of knowing the truth?

Next, what to do?

have no idea.

In the final analysis, I don't like the will of fire at all, and I don't like the village of Konoha. It's just because I love Wujiwu that I happen to have a connection with this place and the people here.

That Hokage-sama doesn't understand all of this at all.

Do you think that you really believe in the will of fire and will give your life for this village?

Ridiculous!

In addition to revenge, I can't think of any remaining value in my future life.

At this moment, footsteps came from my ears.

is her contemporary Chiba Shiraishi.

The other party was holding a bouquet of lilies with a solemn face, walked to the grave and put them down gently, and then mourned for several minutes.

"You and Wu Jun... also know each other?"

After the mourning was over, Masumi Asami asked this question.

Never heard that her fiancé was an acquaintance with her contemporaneous student.

I am not acquainted with him either, but I just happen to have a "contemporary student" relationship that is neither distant nor close.

In the final analysis, it is still in the category of strangers.

"No, it's just that I personally admire Fujisaki Jonin's character, so I want to come and pay homage."

His words were very strange.

Obviously they are not acquaintances, how could they have 'admiration', and even came here to worship.

To Asami Masumi's ears, there was only a sense of weirdness in his heart.

"Thanks."

Although she didn't understand the purpose of the other party's visit, Asami Masumi felt that as the hostess of the Fujisaki family, she still needed to thank the other party.

The impression of this contemporaneous student has also changed a little.

seems less annoying too.

"Dead people can't be resurrected, so let's mourn, Asami-san."

"Are you also here to persuade me to give up revenge?"

The change just now made her impression of Baishi fall to the bottom again.

"No, I didn't say that. I just think that even if you want revenge, you must have a healthy body. If you are too sad, it will be very troublesome if you hurt your body."

"You think so?"

Asami Masumi glanced at Shiraishi unexpectedly.

Shiraishi smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I think for a person who regards his fiancé as his lifelong faith and spiritual sustenance, at the moment his faith collapses, the rest of his life can only be lived in revenge, right?"

After finishing speaking, Asami Masumi's pupils shrank tightly, and she stared at Shiraishi firmly, as if she wanted to see through him.

Shiraishi, who looked at Masumi Asami with a smile in the rain, was surrounded by an impenetrable sense of mystery.

Being close at hand, yet far away in the sky, a cloud of mist enveloped his body.

"What's wrong, is there something wrong?"

Baishi took a step forward, his smiling eyes seemed to be full of aggressiveness like a beast at this moment.

Asami Masumi subconsciously backed away, and a gust of icy air rushed from his heels to his spine.

Danger!

This man is very dangerous!

He saw right through my mind!

In front of him, I can't hide anything!

Thoughts like this kept coming up in her mind, and panic and fear began to appear in her eyes.

Baishi continued to approach her, the smile on his face became more and more abundant.

"It's a pity, that Hokage-sama, seems to think that you and Fujisaki Jominin have the same goal, so you came together. You... are just a parasite redeemed by Fujisaki Jounin! A sad parasite that can't live alone without its master!"

Plop.

Asami Masumi suddenly fell to the ground flooded with rain, like a helpless woman who had been stripped of all defenses and could only be manipulated by others.

Let her forget for a moment that she still has the identity of a ninja, and she is not a defenseless woman.

The kunai in the ninja bag and the scalpel in the clothes can all be used as attacking weapons.

"No... no... don't say it... I..."

The weeping woman in the rain, with disheveled hair, wandering and helpless, paralyzed there, unable to get up.

"Even if it is a ninja, if the psychological defense is lifted, it seems that it will become an ordinary woman."

Baishi squatted down and stretched out his palm to the helpless woman in front of him.

"no, do not want…"

Holding his body tightly, he slowly moved his body backwards, as if this would give him a sense of security, and he dared not meet Baishi's eyes.

Wants to flee, but has no strength.

However, Shiraishi just put his index finger on her forehead and didn't make any further moves.

"Let's make a deal, Asami-san."
