Escape From Konoha Chapter 644

  Chapter 644 Meeting

   "It's been a long time, why, you're not staying in your own laboratory, what's the point of coming to my place?"

  In the living room of the northern stronghold, Orochimaru received the core member of the same organization as himself—Helyuhu.

   Leaning back against the soft sofa, Orochimaru smiled slightly at Hiruhu.

   Obviously curious about Beryuhu coming to find him.

  Like himself, Beiliuhu is obsessed with the research of the blood succession boundary, and he will never take another step at the door. If there is no particularly important matter, he will never leave his laboratory.

  Beliuhu didn't directly answer Orochimaru's question, but twitched his nose slightly and frowned slightly.

   "The smell of blood here is still as strong as ever."

  Although they are both researchers, Beryuhu doesn't like this kind of **** experimental place.

   Orochimaru is different here, even if it is sprayed with a lot of disinfectant and freshener, the **** smell is still difficult to get rid of.

   It is not difficult to see that this stronghold suffered an extremely cruel 'bloodbath' not long ago.

   "I can't help it. A batch of experimental subjects were disposed of before, and I haven't had time to clean it. Besides, this stronghold is almost abandoned, so I didn't think about cleaning it up again. But if you like, I can give this stronghold to you."

   Orochimaru spread his hands.

   "Forget it, if you conduct research in this kind of place, you will feel that your whole body will become bad. Let's not talk about these things, Orochimaru, the purpose of my coming to you this time is to buy some experimental raw materials through you."

   Beiliuhu said unceremoniously.

   "Didn't I just buy a batch for you half a year ago? You used it up so soon?"

  Oshemaru raised his eyebrows.

  Although they are both researchers, Beiliuhu has not developed Ninja Village power like him, so many things need to be done by himself.

   The channels for purchasing various experimental materials and instruments are quite scarce.

   "The materials have long been used up, and the synthesis of beasts consumes more resources than imagined."

   "You should save a little. The raw material market in recent years has been very difficult to do, and it has been monopolized by big countries. It is difficult for scattered people like us to get a piece of meat from this market."

   Orochimaru sighed helplessly.

  Based on the reserves of Yinren Village, there is indeed no shortage of funds to purchase raw materials for experiments. However, companies with raw materials in the market basically cooperate with big countries.

  Firstly, the capital of the big country is more sufficient, and secondly, establishing a cooperative relationship with the big country can provide a strong guarantee for the company's business development in the future.

   Small ninja villages like Yinnin village, which can't even be ranked, can occupy very little share.

  Ghost Country's family monopolizes nearly 30%, the other big countries account for 60%, and the remaining 10% of raw materials is the turn of small countries.

  However, Tian Zhiguo, which is backed by Yinnin Village, is just a member of the small country. The remaining 10% has to be shared equally with all the small countries that need raw materials. It is conceivable that the raw materials purchased every year are definitely an unsatisfactory share.

  As for snatching the share of raw materials from big countries, Orochimaru dare not even think about such a good thing.

  Whether it is the kingdom of ghosts that is now in full swing, or other big countries that are slightly declining, they are still unshakable behemoths for Yinnin Village.

   Besides, now he is being completely targeted by Yunyin's ninjas.

  Yun Yin wanted to use him to find Xiao behind him, and took Erwei back, apparently pinching him as a persimmon.

  Although in front of the extremely powerful Yun Yin, as one of the Sannin, he is indeed a vulnerable group.

   "I had no way to find your side. In the past, there were merchant alliances on isolated islands. You could find some ways from them, but the merchant alliances on isolated islands have long been taken away by the ghost kingdom. Other than that, you can only find them from the black market."

  However, the price on the black market is a huge number that Beiliuhu cannot bear alone.

  The same amount of raw materials, the price is dozens of times, hundreds of times the market price, it is simply stealing money.

   "I see, but I don't have many raw materials for you. You need to figure out the remaining raw materials yourself."

   "That's enough. By the way, I forgot to tell you. On the way I came, I found that it wasn't just the Yunyin ninja who was looking for you. The Yanyin ninja seemed to have joined the action."

  Beliuhu stood up from the sofa, suddenly remembered something, and gave Orochimaru a word of advice.

   "Yanyin?"

   Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.

  Yun Yin stared at him, which didn't surprise him.

  But Iwagakure was staring at him at this time, which surprised Orochimaru.

   "I remember that they are now restrained by the kingdom of ghosts..."

   "Because they were restrained, they need to find the missing tailed beast even more. That Tsuchikage-sama doesn't seem to want the border situation, and has been passive. Finding the lost tailed beast is their only recovery point. Be careful, I don't want to hear the news that you are suddenly killed one day."

   After speaking, Beiliuhu stood up from the sofa, patted the wrinkles on the clothes, his figure shook, and disappeared into the air.

   "It seems that this stronghold can't stay anymore, we have to change to a more concealed stronghold."

  Beliuhu left, but the news he brought made Orochimaru have to pay attention.

  I originally thought to stay in this stronghold for a while, and wait until Sasuke's practice of immortal arts was completely stabilized before moving to other strongholds.

  But now it seems that it must be transferred in advance.

   "The above, the regular meeting in February ends here, do you have any questions to ask?"

  In the meeting room, Shiraishi, who presided over the meeting, said so in a calm tone.

   There are about 20 people sitting on the seats, all of whom are high-level personnel in the military system of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

  These people manage important tasks such as combat, logistics, medical treatment, and research in the military system.

  Therefore, not all those who participated were Jnin, and even a few people were not even ninjas, but they had extremely intelligent brains, rich knowledge, and were authoritative figures in the research field. Their role in the military is high-end talents that ordinary ninjas cannot replace.

  However, under normal circumstances, these high-level people who are biased towards the research field will not express their views at the meeting.

  If they express their opinions at the meeting, then, basically, it is related to the institutional adjustment of the research department.

  At this regular meeting, as expected, they put forward the work report of this month in an abbreviated form, and sat there quietly, waiting for the end of the meeting.

  Generally speaking, if there are no special circumstances, there will only be a regular meeting at the end of each month. It lasts for about three to five hours to summarize the progress of a month's work. By the way, contact the various departments to prevent too much alienation, which is not conducive to scheduling and organization.

   Scanning around and making sure that everyone present is okay, Baishi nodded.

   "Since you have no new questions, then this month's regular meeting will officially end here. But I want to say something extra, now is a critical period, and please don't slack off in the future work. The meeting will be adjourned."

   After Baishi finished speaking, he stood up from his seat, sorted out the documents reported by the various military departments in front of him, put them under his arm, and left the meeting room first.

   Everyone has long been familiar with Baishi's vigorous and resolute attitude, and even took it for granted.

  Although for the high-level executives who are active, this simple and straight-to-the-topic meeting lacks a bit of a lively atmosphere, but for the senior executives of the research department where time is life, they are undoubtedly **** supporters of Shiraishi's meeting style.

  In the long corridor, one side is an inorganic white wall, and the other side is a window for ventilation. It is not a completely enclosed corridor.

  Baishi stood at the window, looking at the scenery outside.

  Spring is just around the corner, but the days of thaw are colder than usual.

   "You look preoccupied, are you worried about something?"

  Liuli came out of the meeting room, came to Baishi's side, looked at the scenery outside the window with him, and asked aloud.

   "I'm not worried. I just feel that it's a troubled time right now. I've been dealing with other big countries as opponents before, so I'm going to be able to handle it with ease. But I don't think the next move will be so smooth."

  Baishi let out a sigh of relief, because the current situation is partly different from the strategy formulated in the past.

   It should be the problem caused by the excessive intervention of Mount Miaomu.

  In the blueprint that he and Yakura set up at the beginning, there is actually no place for Mt. Myogi.

   Similarly, the Fourth Ninja World War is not included in the calculation.

  The overreaction of big countries such as the Nation of Fire exceeded his expectations.

  Although the kingdom of ghosts has won the victory in this war by virtue of its own excellent strength, it has also exposed too much strength and presented it on the bright side.

   These forces, Shiraishi does not want to use this kind of meaningless war.

   Meaningless is Shiraishi's evaluation of the Fourth Ninja World War.

   It is true that in the eyes of outsiders, the kingdom of ghosts is the victor of the war. A piece of flesh has been torn from the four major countries, especially the kingdom of earth, which is completely suppressed by the kingdom of ghosts. At the same time, this war also changed the international situation.

   No matter how you look at it, it should not be called a meaningless war.

   But the unplanned war, in Shiraishi's view, has no benefit except to prematurely consume and expose the power of the ghost kingdom.

  In this way, many methods will be invalidated in the future, which is not conducive to the layout.

  "Everything in the world cannot happen as you imagined. Now the kingdom of ghosts is strong enough to resist those unknown risks."

   Liuli said so.

   "Of course I know about this kind of thing. Fortunately, there is no accident on Konoha's side. As long as this remains unchanged, we will occupy a dominant position, and we can make good use of this at that time."

  Looking at the scenery outside the window, Shiraishi said meaningfully.

   Sasuke locked himself in the room alone, and after reading the information Orochimaru gave him, he threw the scroll recording the information in the trash can and ignored it.

   Then he lay on the bed without saying a word, with his hands behind his head, looking at the white ceiling, perhaps stimulated by this information, he began to fall into deep thought, recalling the past.

  The images of parents, clansmen, Itachi, Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura and others flashed across his mind, and he couldn't help but immerse himself in these past memories.

  Even though I understand that remembering these things is meaningless to me at this time, as soon as I calm down, the faces of these people will appear in my mind, and I can't get rid of them.

   Subconsciously, Sasuke took out a hand from the back of his head and placed it in front of his eyes.

  The red sharing eyes opened, observing the lines on the palm.

   Next, I will use these hands to avenge myself.

  All efforts being made now are preparations for revenge.

   And the day when he was about to kill his enemy, Sasuke felt that it was coming soon.

  I am no longer that Konoha, the naive guy who would play boring bonding games with those Konoha ninjas.

  I have learned to control natural energy, mastered the curse seal of Orochimaru, opened the Sangouyu Sharingan, and now I am still in touch with more advanced fairy arts...

  Thinking of this, Sasuke felt that his heart was not as excited as imagined, but very calm.

  Suddenly, the sound of knocking on the door broke the silence of the room, and Sasuke woke up from his meditation.

"who?"

  Sasuke's red Sharingan turned slightly, looked towards the door, and made a faint sound.

   "It's me, Sasuke. I saw that you didn't come out after returning to the room, so I was a little worried. Besides, it's time for dinner now."

  Chongwu's gentle voice came from outside the door.

   Sasuke looked out of the window, the sky outside had already turned dark.

   Exhaled lightly, Sasuke adjusted his physical condition, then got out of bed, and opened the door.

   Chonggo, who was almost a head taller than him, was standing outside the door waiting for him.

  Different from the Chongwu in the runaway state, the Chongwu in the normal state not only has a gentle voice, but even the temperament on his face has a kind flavor. Although he is unsmiling, it will make people feel at first glance that this is a gentle boy from the inside out.

   "Sasuke, are you okay?"

  Perhaps because of his sensitive nature, Shigego sensed an inexplicable change in Sasuke's state of mind.

   "It's okay, I've adjusted it, and it won't hinder my practice tonight."

   Sasuke replied calmly.

   "I'm afraid that won't work."

   Chonggo hesitated for a moment and said.

"What's wrong?"

  Sasuke frowned, slightly raised his head to look at Shigego.

   Chongwu thought for a while and said: "Mr. Dou came to me just now, saying that he will transfer the base tomorrow, and asked me and you not to practice tonight, and prepare to salute."

   "Transfer base?"

   Sasuke frowned even deeper.

   This stronghold didn't stay for long at all, why should it be transferred now?

   "Yes, I heard that Oshemaru-sama is being targeted by a group of troublesome ninjas. This kind of not-so-concealed stronghold has become unsafe and needs to be replaced."

   Chongwu explained.

  Sasuke began to ponder, making Orochimaru make such a quick move to transfer the base, it seems that the ninja who is eyeing him has a lot of background.

  Ordinary ninjas can't force Orochimaru to escape in such an 'embarrassed' manner.

   "I see. Anyway, let's go eat first."

   Sasuke didn't think long, and walked towards the restaurant.

"good."

  Shigego followed Sasuke like a loyal guard.

  In the spacious underground space, a huge wooden man rose from the ground, with ten fingers standing upright, and chains around his wrists, as if he was imprisoned.

  —Heretic golem.

  Nagato and Konan stood under the golem, jumped lightly, onto two of the fingers, and stood firmly.

   Immediately afterwards, Nagato formed a mudra with both hands, and on the other eight fingers, the air began to vibrate slightly, and rainbow-colored ripples immediately emerged.

  These rainbow-colored ripples, after a brief shake, condensed on the fingers into a human figure, male and female, firmly fixed on the fingers of the golem.

   "Huh? Is the meeting here this time?"

   Noticed that it wasn't a remote cave, or the snake nest provided by Orochimaru, but the underground space of the high tower of Yuyin Village. Kisame, who appeared here as a rainbow phantom, was quite surprised, and then regained his composure.

   "Long time no see, everyone."

  Under the gaze of the rest of the people, Nagato greeted calmly.

   "It's really troublesome. I'm conducting an extremely important religious ceremony. You really know how to pick the time."

  After Nagato said hello, Hidan's irritated voice sounded in the empty space. I believe that if he hadn't been concerned about Nagato's strength, he would have already yelled at him.

   "That kind of thing doesn't matter anyway."

   Scorpion said coldly.

  He has no interest in religion.

   "Hey, Scorpion, are you looking for fault? Believe it or not, I will curse you, an atheist, to death?"

   Fei Duan pointed at Scorpion, very dissatisfied with Scorpion's profane behavior.

   "I'm just telling the truth. Anyway, it's a long and meaningless wait. Moreover, even if you are immortal, you can't move after being poisoned."

   Scorpion smiled lowly, and glanced at Fei Duan with inexplicable eyes.

   Fei Duan felt a chill in his heart, and always felt that Xie's eyes became extremely terrifying.

   "Scorpion, don't attack the organization's companions."

  Nagato cast a sideways glance at Scorpion, warning him.

   "Isn't this very interesting? I'm actually also interested in immortality. Hiduan, do you have an idea to come to me and do an experiment?"

   Orochimaru laughed, and extended an invitation.

   I am also interested in Fei Duan's immortality.

   "It's all good, let's get to the point quickly. I have to purchase the experimental raw materials that haven't been completed. I don't have time to waste here."

  Hiruhu's impatient voice sounded, urging Nagato to hurry up and get to the main topic of the meeting.

  He had just left Orochimaru's stronghold for less than half a day, and is now purchasing the remaining experimental raw materials outside. It can be said that he was not prepared for this sudden organization meeting.

   Kisame grinned, didn't say a word, just paid attention to everyone's words and expressions, and found it very interesting.

   Itachi maintained a paralyzed face, and also ignored the communication with these people, and his sense of existence with Kisame continued to decrease.

   "Okay, now officially enter the topic of this meeting."

  Nagato nodded, there was no emotion in Samsara's eyes, and he waited until everyone's eyes were focused before speaking in a calm tone:

   "That is about the sequence of catching tailed beasts. I have already drawn up a plan, and I will make adjustments that are different from before, and then distribute the remaining tailed beasts to appropriate groups. Therefore, please keep the content of the next meeting in mind..."
