Escape From Konoha Chapter 675

  Chapter 675 Yinyin Village

   "You bastards, hurry up and go to work, don't think about being lazy!"

  In the empty stone hall, a man's impatient command voice came.

   Probably fed up with this group of subordinates who always like to fight against him, he decided to give this group of people a look.

   Sure enough, following his scolding, although most of the people obeyed the order to dispose of the sundries, there were still a few people who narrowed their eyes and showed unkind expressions towards the man.

  The light in his eyes kept flickering, as if he was thinking about how to get rid of the man in front of him without anyone noticing, and replace him with a more obedient branch manager.

"Ah."

  It seems that he also noticed the malicious eyes of some people. The man—that is, Mizuki, had a rather ferocious smile on his handsome face, which ruined the handsome beauty of his face.

   "Why, are you planning to discuss secretly, **** me secretly? Do you think who is here to feed you, drink for you, and even help you get benefits from Master Orochimaru?"

   Sure enough, as he said these words, the maliciousness in some people's eyes dissipated a lot, and they acquiesced in the correctness of Mizuki's words.

   As combatants and handymen, they are undoubtedly qualified.

   But as management, not only do they not understand, but they often make a mess of things.

  The manager who originally guided them was because the management of the branch bases was always in a mess. As a last resort, they merged with other bases, and then handed over to this Mizuki management who seemed to only rely on the prestige of Orochimaru.

  Although the opponent is not strong, they can definitely take down the opponent easily in the case of swarming, but in that case, they will lose their stable living environment, and they will be completely abandoned by their respected Orochimaru.

  For them who regard Orochimaru as a god, this is a crueler thing than death.

   "Okay, if there is no problem, let's go to work and see you make a mess here. If you leave me, you can't do anything."

   Mizuki mercilessly began to sneer lightly.

   What responded to him was the silence of a group of people, who silently picked up the tools in their hands and started to work.

   Mizuki has long been familiar with such a scene. This group of people is not only not smart, but also fearless of death. Only with the help of Orochimaru's name can they completely shock them and let them do things obediently.

  Although Mizuki doesn't think Orochimaru is a wise and powerful leader, the unrestrained human experiment also proves that the other party's bottom line is very low, but the cohesion he gathered by using people's hearts cannot be underestimated.

  Many people here know that he is a more terrifying figure than the devil, but in this kind of world where survival is difficult, they can only guarantee their own survival if they associate with the devil.

   Over time, they began to believe in the devil, and kept hypnotizing themselves, making people like Orochimaru their belief in living.

  In these years, Mizuki has seen countless such things. And every time, Orochimaru can succeed.

   It can only be said that compared with the lords of some countries who take over the bottom, even a guy like Orochimaru can be called a perfect 'saint'.

  If you want to be stable, you must either rely on a powerhouse in troubled times like a big country, or gamble your life.

  The people who took refuge in Orochimaru were more or less betting on their lives.

   "Well, but this group of guys are lucky to meet a branch manager like me."

   Mizuki stroked the hair on his forehead, and smiled narcissistically.

  After many selections, he finally got his wish under Orochimaru, obtained the manager's authority from the manager of a branch stronghold that was crusaded by Yunyin Anbu, and arrived at a brand new branch stronghold to take the post of manager, with hundreds of people in charge.

  Among these hundreds of people, more than half of them are ordinary people, and there are even many old and young women and children. There is also a small half of them who were cursed by Orochimaru, and thrown here are unfortunate and lucky experimental subjects.

  The reason why they are called unlucky or lucky experimental subjects is because once selected and engraved with a curse, life and death are extremely unpredictable. Judging from the information that Mizuki obtained, the survival rate of a curse-sealed experimental subject is about one-tenth.

   That is to say, out of every ten normal test subjects, only one can survive smoothly.

  In this turbulent era, there are a large number of floating populations between small countries, and many times you can see homeless people who are forced to migrate and leave their homeland. Orochimaru only needs a little inducement, and can continuously obtain fresh experimental subjects with a negligible amount of food.

  The branch stronghold is the base that is allowed to be established based on this environment.

  However, unlike the rest of the branch bases, this base managed by Watergate is a very standard 'nursing home' and a concentration camp for abandoned people.

  The old, young, women and children who are not considered excellent labor force, and a group of curse-sealed experimental subjects who were abandoned here to fend for themselves, and who fantasized about returning to work under Orochimaru all day... Mizuki spent a lot of time in order to manage this place well.

   Just blocking the mouths of hundreds of people with food almost made him bald.

   During the most difficult period of land reclamation, he, the manager, ate wild vegetables together.

  Compared with other branch stronghold managers, in order to ensure sufficient food for the branch strongholds, he deliberately reduced the population of the strongholds and only allowed the strong to have food, but he treated them equally.

  Because of this, coupled with the prestige of Orochimaru, he can accumulate enough prestige here to command hundreds of people to act.

  After all, the food problem is the top priority. The food allocated to the branch every year is not enough for consumption. After all, Otogakure Village, headed by Orochimaru, is a small village that no one cares about. In addition, Orochimaru has spent all the resources on a certain Uchiha descendant unrestrainedly over the years, and the rest of the people live in a very difficult life.

  Thinking of this, Mizuki couldn't help sighing that people are really different.

  Sometimes if you don't work hard while you are young, you don't know what real despair is.

  Working under Orochimaru, if there is no excellent blood, there is no future at all. Mizuki has already seen this.

   "I thought you couldn't control the people here, but it seems I'm overthinking it."

  The voice suddenly came from behind, and it sounded quite emotional.

"Um?"

   Mizuki turned his head and looked at the person behind him, with silver hair and a breathable mask covering most of his face. The other person was leaning his back against the wall leisurely, holding a copy of the latest version of "Intimate Paradise" in his hand.

   "It's you, Kakashi. Why are you free to come to my place?"

   Mizuki felt a little relieved when he saw that it was Kakashi coming.

   "It's the end of May now, why do you think I came here?"

   "Huh? Is it already this time? Sorry, I've been working here all day, and I almost forgot the time."

  Hearing Kakashi's words, Mizuki couldn't help scratching his head.

  He is a spy placed here in Orochimaru by the kingdom of ghosts, so he naturally knows what the next day will be.

   "However, for this kind of thing, wouldn't it be okay for you to let the people under your hand come over? You don't have to come over in person."

   While speaking, Mizuki took out a relatively thick booklet from the ninja bag and handed it to Kakashi.

  Kakashi put down the "Massacre in Heaven" in his hand, and it turned out that this thick booklet was a little damaged at the corners.

  Opened and quickly filtered, page after page of character resume information, flipped through Kakashi's fingers.

   There is no doubt that this is a roster of characters.

   "Is there nothing missing?"

  Kakashi looked up at Mizuki.

   "Of course, in order to get this roster, I risked my life a lot and was almost killed."

   Mizuki's words did not convince Kakashi.

   It must have taken Mizuki a lot of effort to get this kind of roster, but it would be an exaggeration to say that there is any risk to his life.

   "In a few days, someone will take over this stronghold. You should prepare for it in a few days, so that there will be no accidents."

   Kakashi nodded, put away the roster, carefully put it in his ninja bag, and said to Mizuki.

   "Are you leaving now? I still want to treat you well."

   "Don't be so troublesome, there are still many days to work together in the future. Then, I will count on you here."

  Kakashi made a mudra with both hands, and with a whoosh, the figure disappeared from the wall.

   "It really came and went without a trace, this guy's strength has become stronger again."

   Mizuki sighed.

  With his strength close to that of a jounin, he didn't notice it, which shows that the opponent's strength has reached the level of ordinary jounin, and it is difficult to guard against it in the first place.

  If an indiscriminate assassination is carried out...

  Just thinking about it made Mizuki shudder.

  If the target of Kakashi's assassination is himself, he will probably be wiped out silently in his sleep.

   Fortunately, this is his own person. If he stands on the opposite side, it will be a headache.

   "Sasuke Uchiha, I hope there will be no accidents over there. If there is an accident, all my investment will be in vain..."

  Mizuki sighed. Although he was calm on the surface, he was still a little nervous inside.

  In any case, a ninja at the level of Orochimaru is quite deterrent to him.

  The name of Sannin has been deeply ingrained since he was very young.

   Among the three ninjas, the most dangerous one is undoubtedly Orochimaru. Once the opponent actually makes a move, it means that he is fully prepared.

  In contrast, it is undoubtedly a big gamble to place all your bets on junior ninjas like Sasuke Uchiha.

  If he wins, he will have a better foothold in the kingdom of ghosts and can be promoted quickly.

  If you fail, although you will not be punished, but if you want to go further, with your own talent, the road to promotion will be a bit difficult. And in a new environment, without mutual support, it is difficult to go far.

boom!

"ah!"

  As the body hitting the wall began to vomit blood and scream, the battle in the corridor of the stronghold finally came to an end.

  The walls and the floor were stained with a lot of blood, and entered the cursed experimental body, like a corpse lying on the ground, motionless.

   It looked like a dead person, but the perpetrators didn't do anything ruthless, leaving these people alive and making the experimental subjects unable to move.

   "The number of riots has become more frequent these days. If this continues, it will be endless. Is there no solution once and for all?"

  The hot-tempered Zuojin seemed to have had enough of suppressing riots. He sat on an experimental subject lying on the ground as a rest, and looked at the other three of the four, hoping that they could come up with an effective suggestion.

   "No way, not all the ninjas who have been cursed are like us who can control the power of the curse. Most of them still passively explode their own curses and fall into madness."

   Kidomaru, who had six hands, smiled, and casually threw the 'corpse' aside, ignoring it.

   "So, if they are all executed, won't there be no such troubles?"

   Zuo Jin let out a sigh of relief, looking extremely irritable.

  Of course, this kind of talk is just a talk, it is impossible to really do it.

  Although there are many experimental subjects in Yinyin Village, they are not to the point of being squandered.

  Especially the experimental subjects that have been successfully planted with the curse mark are extremely precious materials.

   Unless it is really useless, or it is at the end of the road, generally speaking, the experimental subject with the curse seal can still live.

   On the other side, Jirobo, who was the weakest of the four, did not join in the communication between Sakon and Kidomaru, but silently obeyed the position of the last of the four, and began to deal with the experimental subjects lying in the corridor, sending them to new cells one by one.

   "Tayuya, you seem to be a little dull recently, is it because you are not feeling well? Could it be because of that?"

  Zokon looked at Tayuya who was standing against the wall, she was also the only woman among the four, and said without hesitation.

   "Do you want to die once, Zuo Jin?"

  Although he was the strongest among the four, Tayuya didn't intend to give the other party a good look, and cast a cold glance at Zuo Jin.

   "It seems that you are very confident in your own growth, do you think you can challenge me? Huh?"

   Zuo Jin chuckled, with evil intentions in his eyes.

  In the past, the four of them have always respected his orders, no matter who they are, they dare not resist his orders.

   But all of this, with the arrival of a certain bastard, all changed.

  Whether it is the love of Orochimaru or the respect of the other members of the four, they seem to be wandering around that person, taking away everything that originally belonged to him.

   Hateful Sasuke Uchiha! A coldness flashed in Zuo Jin's eyes.

  Listening to Zuo Kon's provocative words, Tayuya, who didn't want to entangle with Zuo Kin, silently took out his flute and prepared to do it.

   "Sakin, please stop talking." Kidoumaru couldn't stand it anymore, and then looked at Tayuya: "Tayuya and you too, don't be provoked by him, it's not like you don't know how Sakin is."

  As the calm faction of the four, Kidomaru has always maintained a neutral attitude.

   "Hmph, I just find this guy a bit unpleasant."

  Tayuya put down the flute in his hand, but did not restrain the murderous look in his eyes.

   "Is that guy who is showing off his might here by relying on his blood really that good? Anyway, I can't understand that guy, and I don't know what to expect from that kind of person, why the people here have to respect him. In the end, he is just a lost dog who was hunted down by Konoha. It is really embarrassing to be so arrogant here."

  Sakon spread his hands and put on a very disdainful face, somewhat mocking Tayuya's hostility.

  Since Uchiha Sasuke came to Otoyin, everything revolves around him.

  The same is true for the four of them. Although nominally they are still the guards of Oshemaru, the leader of Otogakure, in fact, they have been led by Uchiha Sasuke, a latecomer, in recent years.

  Among them, Tayuya and Jirobo are the closest to each other.

   Kidomaru is a middle-of-the-road, always inside and muddy.

  He is a hostile faction and wants to regain the authority to lead the four.

   "However, that guy's good days are coming to an end. There are not a few days left until Oshemaru-sama's 'new life'. Here, no one can resist Oshemaru-sama. If you don't want to be removed from the group of four at that time, you'd better follow my command now. Or do you want to go against Oshemaru-sama's will?"

  Zako glanced at Kidomaru, Tayuya, and Jirobo who had just returned after throwing the experimental subject into the cell, as if he wanted them to decide their position now.

  As Orochimaru's confidantes, they know more or less about the so-called reincarnation.

  I also know that Orochimaru's "new life" is not far away.

  However, after he finished speaking, Tayuya turned and left without saying a word, as if to distance himself from the other party.

   Seeing Tayuya not giving himself face in this way, Zuo Jin's face darkened.

   "Women always have long hair but short knowledge. After that guy is devoured by Oshemaru-sama, I will fix her up and throw her into prison for punishment. So, what about the two of you?"

  Zokon stared at Kidomaru and Jirobo.

  Jirobo glanced at Tayuya's leaving back, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'm going back to my room first, you can call me if you have anything to do."

   After finishing speaking, Jirobo left quickly without waiting for Zuo Jin to speak. The oppressive atmosphere here made him feel suffocated.

   Zuo Jin's face became even colder.

  Seeing this, Kidomaru spread his hands helplessly, but he didn't leave, but said: "I think it's better not to judge this kind of thing too early. I always feel that the aura of Sasuke-sama is more unfathomable than that of Orochimaru-sama. Maybe Sasuke-sama will be the final winner."

  Unexpectedly, upon hearing Kidomaru's words, Sakon burst out laughing, and even burst into tears.

   "Kidoumaru, I didn't expect you to tell jokes. Are you crazy? You actually think that Oshemaru-sama will lose. Oshemaru-sama is omnipotent, and he will definitely be the final winner! I have clearly seen such a future!"

   Zuo Jin's confident words resounded in the corridor.

  Kidoumaru knew that Sakon didn't listen to his words, and he wasn't angry, he just folded his six arms in front of his chest, and sighed.

   There is no doubt that the interior of Yinyin Village is now broken.

  As the alarm clock rang, Dou opened his eyes on the bed and woke up from his sleep.

   Turned his head and glanced at the time of the alarm clock, it was four in the morning.

   "It's almost time to go."

  Doudou murmured, and got up from the bed. All the luggage had been prepared the day before, so there was no need to tidy it up.

  The experimental data, including important intelligence documents, are also stored in the backpack without any omission.

  He has always been a very regular ninja, and this kind of self-discipline is a behavior he has had since childhood.

  He was born in the war of troubled times. At that time, if he wanted to survive in the cruel world, he had to learn and grow desperately, so that he could have skills and no time to waste.

  Because of this kind of self-discipline and good talent, he stood out from many orphans very early and became the deputy of the director of the orphanage at that time.

  Although because of this, he entered an extremely dark world, became a multi-faceted spy, and was used and manipulated by many people, but also because of this, the time without intrigue was so precious.

  Put on your clothes and look at yourself in the mirror.

   "Who am I today?"

   After speaking, he laughed at himself.

  I am used to wearing various masks, but gradually forget my original appearance, which is really ironic.

   Not immersed in such loss for too long, Dou quickly sorted out his emotions, washed his face with clear water in the basin, and made himself sober.

   "Let's go quickly, I'm afraid I can't wait for Oshemaru-sama."

  The stronghold of the reincarnation ceremony is not here, but at the junction of the country of Tian and the country of iron. It is a large hidden stronghold with a complete defense system, plus many Otogakure ninjas, turning it into a "paradise".

   To break through the defense system there, at least thousands of elite ninja troops must be dispatched.

  Because of this, Orochimaru will hold the reincarnation ceremony there, in order to avoid being disturbed during the ceremony.

  Because this reincarnation ceremony is extremely important, unlike previous reincarnation ceremonies, it is an important step for Orochimaru to enter longevity, and he will never allow any accidents to happen.

   Only in this way, the defensive capabilities of the remaining strongholds will decline.

  According to the information obtained by Dou, the recent movements of the other strongholds are a bit strange.

  And these strange actions faintly hinted that the powerful country in the far west of the mainland was manipulating behind the scenes.

  Thinking of this, Dou couldn't help feeling heavy in his heart.

  The current Yin Yin does not have the power to confront the kingdom of ghosts head-on.

  In addition, the relationship between Yin Yin and Akatsuki has become a lot more distant recently. If Xiao Xiao hadn't restrained the kingdom of ghosts, Yinyin would undoubtedly be a piece of fat exposed in the eyes of the kingdom of ghosts.

   What's more, after Ichibi's actions, Oni no Kuni and Akatsuki have officially torn their faces. There is no longer a so-called ambiguous period between the two parties, and it is perfectly normal to target each other.

  However, he also knew that Orochimaru had no interest in these things.

  For the current Orochimaru, apart from Sasuke, there is nothing that cannot be given up.

  The plan is safe if it succeeds, but if it fails...

  Shaking his head, trying not to think about the consequences of this incident, he put on his backpack, opened the door, glanced left and right at the corridor, and walked towards the exit.

   Just as the figure of the bag disappeared at the end of the corridor, a woman wearing a red and white priestess costume and a mask walked out slowly from the shadow of the corridor.

  She stared straight at the direction in which Dou left, and remained silent.
