Escape From Konoha Chapter 703

  Chapter 703 The wind rises

  On the third day after arriving in Nami Country, Sasuke's injuries had basically healed, even if he did some strenuous exercise, it wouldn't burden his body.

   Perhaps it was because of the awakening of a higher-level Sharingan. After recovering from his injury, Sasuke felt that his physical condition at this time was better than ever. The dynamic vision of the eyes, including the strength of Chakra, has been significantly improved compared to himself when fighting Itachi.

  If he fights Itachi again, it should be much easier in terms of the result.

  During the time in the land of waves, Sasuke stayed in the stronghold of the Leiguang regiment and did not go out.

  In addition to the necessary recuperation, Sasuke focused his energy on how to sneak into Konoha.

  The country of fire where Konoha is located is one of the big countries.

  Compared to the past, the strength has been reduced, but this reduction is compared with the big countries of the same era. Its overall strength far exceeds Konoha during the third Ninja World War. This is the conclusion Sasuke reached through the information sent by the Lei Guangtuan.

   As far as Sasuke's observation is concerned, Lei Guangtuan's judgment is very pertinent.

   As a member of Konoha Ninja, he knew how deep the water in this village was.

  Under the seemingly peaceful appearance, there is an undercurrent of turbulence inside. If you are not careful, you will be eaten to the bone.

   Sneaking in rashly, not only can't find Konoha's high-level executives to avenge their revenge, but also put themselves in it.

  Therefore, there must be a careful action plan.

   For this reason, it is time for the four of them to shine.

  The purpose of their following is to make his revenge plan go smoothly, and weaken the strength of irrelevant personnel for him, or in other words, they are targets used to attract firepower.

   "Sneak attack on Konoha's patrol force?"

  In a wooden house arranged by Lei Guangtuan, the door panels are closed, only the windows facing the sea are okay, and occasionally a comfortable sea breeze blows in.

  This is the place where Sasuke used to hold a temporary meeting. The four of them, Shigego, including Hoshino Miko, who was supported by the kingdom of ghosts, were also among them.

  After the battle with Itachi, they also followed to the land of waves.

   Now hearing Sasuke's new arrangement, Kidomaru, among the four, couldn't help frowning in confusion.

  If they are here to attract attention, even if they attack Konoha's patrol troops, it will be difficult to cause too much noise.

   Not to belittle yourself, but it is.

  In the territory of a big country, to attack the local Ninja Village patrol forces requires extremely fast skills and fierce means. These abilities are barely possessed by the four of them. However, among the patrolling troops, there are bound to be strong Jonin guards. Once they encounter these Junin, it may be difficult to end the battle quickly with their abilities.

   There is no need for Konoha's high-level executives to carry out special meeting planning, and the patrol force itself is enough to deter all accidents from happening.

   "That's right, what's the problem?"

   Sasuke asked lightly.

   "I want to ask, is it only us, Sasuke-sama?"

   Kidomaru hesitated for a moment, then continued to ask.

   "This manpower is enough. I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, now is the critical period for holding the joint Chunin exam. Konoha's senior management absolutely does not want to see security problems in the territory at this time. Even if they make a big fuss, they will divert a considerable part of their attention to this matter."

  Listening to Sasuke's explanation, everyone's brows eased.

  Indeed, the joint Chunin exam will start in Konoha soon.

  In normal times, even if there is a problem with the patrol team, it will be temporarily handled by the patrol team themselves, and then reported to Konoha's senior management. But the situation is different now. With the joint Chunin Exams unfolding, any slight disturbance will inevitably arouse the heightened vigilance of Konoha's senior management, causing a scene of jitteriness.

   And this is exactly the result of Sasuke's needs.

  At the minimum cost, it attracted the attention of Konoha's senior management, and mobilized a part of Konoha Village's troops.

  Although it is only a part, this is the limit of what four people can do.

  If they directly make trouble inside Konoha, they will probably be captured by Konoha ninjas soon.

   "If that's the case, you can give it a try. However, to what extent should it be done, Sasuke-sama?"

   It was Hoshino Miko who asked the question.

  Her comprehensive strength is the lowest in the team, only the strength of the Chunin, but as a medical ninja, she has the strength of the Chunin, which is enough to protect herself. What's more, even if there is a battle, she doesn't need to take the initiative to play.

   "Look for the weakest patrol teams, kidnap these Konoha ninjas, and cause disappearance cases. Or symbolically attack the candidates who go to Konoha to take the exam, as long as they can attract attention and give them the illusion that you have a lot of people. Teams in trouble should focus on guerrilla warfare and don't be pinned down by the enemy. Chonggo, if an uncontrollable accident occurs, you are responsible for breaking the rear."

   Sasuke looked at Shigego who had been taciturn.

  As the No. 2 character with the highest rank in the team other than himself, Chongwu's strength is not a problem for him to deal with several junin at the same time after learning the art of immortality.

  Even if you meet a ninja at the Five Kage level, you can delay for a while.

  Having him in the team is enough to ensure the safety of the team and prevent them from falling into siege and being wiped out.

  The four of them still have room to grow, and given their age, there is still a possibility of further progress in the future. Therefore, the dangerous tasks after the accident can only be handed over to Shigego, who is the most powerful.

  Shigego nodded, indicating that he understood.

   "So, next, is Sasuke planning to sneak into Konoha alone?"

   Then, Chongwu asked the most critical question.

  With him in the team, at this critical point, the task of attracting the attention of Konoha's senior management is not difficult. What is difficult is the follow-up Konoha Ninja encirclement and suppression operations, which need to be hidden.

   But Sasuke has a different mission.

  He directly attacked the headquarters of Konoha Village, where there are tens of thousands of conservative ninjas, and dozens of ninjas on the bright side, not to mention the elite dormant in the dark and root.

  Maybe it can cause chaos to Konoha at the first time, but when Konoha reacts, Sasuke will inevitably be besieged by Konoha ninjas and fight alone.

  That kind of situation is extremely unfavorable to Sasuke.

   "This time is different from dealing with Itachi. The enemy is a big country village. Your task is to reduce some of the power of the Konoha Village headquarters for me. Then I will sneak into Konoha secretly, release the giant psychic beast of the Ninja Clan, and attack the important facilities of Konoha Village to cause chaos."

   In this way, the defense force protecting Konoha's high-level will be further weakened.

  Although the helper of the ninja cat clan summoned by psychic techniques, since most of his chakra will be used on the high-ranking Konohas, there will not be much chakra left for the ninja cats, but as long as it can cause chaos in the early stage, he will end the lives of those high-ranking Konohas as quickly as possible.

  With this pair of kaleidoscope sharing eyes, he can do it.

  Now he has enough self-confidence to assassinate Konoha's top management in a very short time.

  First the two advisors, and then the root leader Shimura Danzo.

   It only takes the psychic beast of the Ninja Clan to restrain Konoha Ninja for half an hour, and he can complete Uchiha's revenge.

  After hearing Sasuke's arrangement, Shigego felt a little relieved.

   "Then, has Master Sasuke found a way to sneak into Konoha?"

   At this time, Hoshino Miko asked.

   "In Itachi's memory, there is a secret door that can sneak into Konoha smoothly."

   Sasuke replied without thinking.

   "But that secret door is probably one of the results of the transaction between Itachi and Konoha's high-level executives. Now that the two sides are separated, it is hard to say whether the secret door exists. Even if it exists, there is no guarantee that the defense there will remain the same as before."

   Hoshino Miko's words caused Sasuke to think deeply.

  As Hoshino Miko said, this is indeed a problem.

  The secret door was the result of the transaction between Itachi and Konoha's high-level executives, in order to facilitate Itachi to return to Konoha and contact the high-level people.

  But Konoha executives have unilaterally abandoned Itachi now, so the existence of this secret door may not be a trap.

"you mean…"

  Sasuke looked at Hoshino Miko with a calm face.

  The opponent is a wandering witch from the kingdom of ghosts, a medical staff who was temporarily arrested by the army of the kingdom of ghosts and arranged to join his team.

  However, due to the particularity of wandering witches, they cannot be simply regarded as simple medical personnel.

  They travel all over the ninja world, interspersed in the battlefields of various small countries. They are not only fighters, but also medical ninjas, and they are also the eyes of the ghost country to monitor all countries.

  Information and secrets are the most valuable things in the hands of wandering witches.

  Hoshino Miko said this, she must have known that the secret door through which Itachi communicated with Konoha's high-level officials no longer existed.

  Enter from there, in all likelihood, you will be besieged by Konoha ninjas as soon as you enter.

   "If Sasuke-sama doesn't mind, I will contact the people on our side in Konoha Village and open another secret door for you. That secret door can not only avoid Konoha ninjas, but also won't be sensed by Konoha Village's barrier, so you can sneak in perfectly."

   Hoshino Miko said seriously.

  The expressions of the rest of the people were only surprised for a moment, and then returned to normal.

   It is already an open secret in the ninja world that the kingdom of ghosts has placed people in Konoha.

  Sasuke pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, then please go and contact the people over there. I will start to act during the first exam of the Chunin exam, and let him get ready for work an hour in advance."

"yes."

   Hoshino Miko bowed slightly, walked out of the wooden house, and contacted Konoha's informant.

   July 6th.

   There are still four days left before the joint Chunin exam held in Konoha Village.

  Hundreds of candidates from various countries in the ninja world began to rush towards the land of fire one after another, and headed to Konoha under the leadership of the leader of the ninja.

  However, a piece of news came that attracted the attention of Konoha Hokage.

   "A candidate from Caoyin Village was attacked by an unknown person, which almost killed the candidate. In addition, there are three patrol teams in the west. A total of twelve people lost contact for a day, and the murderer has not been found so far."

   Tsunade looked at the information that was not good for Konoha, and suddenly two grew up.

   When an accident occurs is not good, but at this time.

   No matter how much he deceived himself, he knew that this was not a coincidence. Most likely, someone took advantage of this opportunity to secretly target Konoha and carry out some unknown action.

   "Although I have a hunch, it is really bold and careful to use candidates to cause panic. If it is not handled carefully, it will cause more trouble."

  When he came to Hokage's office, Lu Jiu, who got the first-hand information, also sighed.

  If there is only a problem with the patrolling force, then this problem will only extend to Konoha himself.

  But if it affects people from other countries, even at this time, even if they know it is a trap, they have to jump into it with their eyes open according to the wishes of the attackers.

  At least give a reasonable explanation to the personnel from other countries, so as not to cause a bigger disturbance during the exam.

   "What is Hokage-sama going to do? Is it an order to the border guards to send some of them out?"

  The number and strength of the attackers are uncertain. The candidates in Caoyin Village survived. Their testimonies may not be accurate, and the enemy may be suspicious.

   Therefore, rash actions will trigger new crises.

   Care must be taken.

   "Some ninjas were drawn from the village to form a temporary patrol force, led by ten ninjas."

   Tsunade said directly.

  The border guards cannot be easily mobilized. Although there has been no war recently, the deterrent force to the outside world must not act rashly.

  And from the perspective of the target of the attack, although the strength of the attacker is not weak, it is not to the extent that border guards are required to intervene.

  These attackers are mostly fire attractors released in advance.

   "Doing this, isn't it a bit..."

  Ten Jonin, plus a few Chunin, this patrol force is not weak.

   "That's it. Candidates participating in the exam, if this kind of thing happens, if you want to silence these people, you can't just pretend. Moreover, I also want to know who is going to attack Konoha at this time."

  A sharp look flashed in Tsunade's eyes.

  Actually, she already had some guesses about the manipulator behind the attack, but due to some things, she didn't directly say it.

  After all, Konoha's face cannot be wiped away by telling the matter about that person in the open.

   What's more, this is just speculation, and there is no conclusive evidence to confirm it. Maybe the truth of the matter is not what I thought, but what others did.

  Lu Jiu sighed and didn't speak again.

  His guess is basically consistent with Tsunade.

  Uchiha Sasuke, could it be this guy?

  The movement that happened in the forest country before, and the battle that happened in the Uchiha stronghold...

   After all, it has been a month since the other party solved Orochimaru, and there has been no news about the other party in this month. Such patience and dormancy, it is hard not to make Lu Jiu feel worried.

  Because of the conflict between the two parties, there is no way to resolve it.

  Especially in the stronghold of the roots, the corpses of those Uchiha people, the lost Sharingan, there is no way to explain it...

  Although it is disdainful, Shimura Danzo, who has concentrated the power of the roots and the martial arts faction, must not lose.

  No matter whether the other party's target of revenge is Konoha's high-level executives or the entire Konoha, once the corresponding action is launched, what he has to face is all of Konoha's power, not just the high-level ones!

   On this point, Lu Jiu is very sure!

   "In this case, Hokage-sama, the two advisors should also send more people there. I will ask the Barrier Department to conduct a careful reconnaissance of the security of the village to prevent anyone from sneaking in."

   Didn't open the door, but both Shikajiu and Tsunade knew it well.

   It's okay if the guess is wrong. Once it is correct, arrangements must be made in advance to prevent them from being caught off guard in the event of an accident.

  Fire Country, West Canyon.

  A man-made stronghold.

   Four people, Shigego, and Hoshino Miko are gathered here.

  During the two days they sneaked into the Fire Nation, they launched a total of six attacks.

   Three of them attacked Konoha's patrol team and took its personnel away. The other three times were candidates from other countries who attacked other countries and entered the Land of Fire.

   This incident must have attracted Konoha's attention.

  At this juncture, even if it is to appease the candidates from other countries who have been attacked, Konoha will definitely take action to arrest the attackers, instead of simply putting on a show and continuing to arouse the dissatisfaction of candidates from other countries. After all, these candidates represent the face of other countries. If an accident occurs in the land of fire, Konoha will bear full responsibility.

   "Counting it all together, Konoha will almost send additional manpower. Next, it will be a very difficult battle."

  Everyone sat down around a pile of burning firewood in the secret room of the stronghold.

  Because this stronghold has not been lived in for a long time, the air is humid and cold, and it is necessary to burn fire to expel the cold.

   This was originally a stronghold abandoned by the staff of the Ghost Kingdom, and now it is just right for waste to be used.

   Kidomaru picked up a branch and fiddled with the fire at will.

  The strength on their side is not too strong compared to the entire Konoha patrol force. It was only by catching the opponent by surprise and acting quickly that the fate of being besieged was avoided.

  But we can't launch an attack rashly. With some precautions, Konoha's patrol forces will be more closely linked, and there will definitely be a lot of reinforcements. At that time, even if it is Chongwu, it may not be able to retreat completely.

   "Then, from now on, we will focus on guerrilla warfare and avoid contact with Konoha's main patrol force."

   Tayuya suggested.

   "However, it is not easy to do this."

   Zuo Jin frowned.

   After all, they have no way to tell which one is the main force of the patrol force and which one is not.

   "Moreover, the captives held here also have some functions and need someone to stay and guard them."

  Shigego also said at this time.

  When necessary, these captured Konoha ninjas can become their life-saving tools.

  So, while fighting guerrilla warfare with the Konoha patrol forces, people also need to stay behind to watch over these prisoners.

   "Jirobo, you and Hoshino will stay and guard."

   Kidomaru said.

   Hoshino Miko is not good at fighting, it is safer to stay inside the stronghold than to follow them.

  In addition, they also have medical charms on their bodies. As long as they are not seriously injured, there is no need for Hoshino Miko to perform medical ninjutsu treatment.

  The strength of Jirobo is the lowest among the four, and his escapism characteristic is that he can absorb the chakra of the target, which can effectively control these prisoners and keep them in a weak state at all times.

  Jirobo and Hoshino Miko nodded without any objection.

  The country of ghosts.

  The deepest part of the research building.

  Located in one of the morgues, the temperature is very low, and the edge of the corner can be seen, covered with a thin layer of frost.

   Huge cabinets made of steel are arranged here in an orderly manner, with numbers marked on them, and each number represents a corpse.

  Wearing a white coat, Shiraishi ignored the cold air and walked to the innermost part of the morgue.

  Compared to these corpses outside, the deepest corpse is the most valuable existence.

  Using the corresponding Indian style to untie the barrier, the originally flat white wall suddenly split a gap in the middle, and slowly pushed towards the inside, forming an open white iron door.

  Different from the outside, the space inside is extremely small, and the corpses stored are all lying quietly on stretchers, but the whole body is wrapped in a special plastic bag.

   And the number is very small, only a dozen, but the rarity of each corpse is far more than the corpses outside.

  Baishi walked to one of the corpses, slightly tore off the string of the special plastic bag, exposing the face of the corpse.

  Long black hair, nasolabial folds on both sides of the nose, even in death, his face is very serious, giving people the illusion that he seems to be alive.

  The corpse was well preserved, and the fatal wound was treated without any damage.

   This corpse is none other than Itachi Uchiha.

  One of the holders of the Uchiha Clan Kaleidoscope Sharingan.

   In terms of strength, he can be regarded as a very rare genius among the Uchiha clan.

  His ninja talent seems to be a little stronger than his wife Liuli.

  He died of serious injuries after a battle with Sasuke.

   Afterwards, he was transferred to the kingdom of ghosts and kept here.

   Without thinking too much, Baishi carried the corpse, walked out of the morgue, came to the laboratory, untied the special plastic bag, put the corpse on the operating table, and lay quietly.

   "Kaleidoscopic Sharingan..."

   Regarding the research on these eyes, Shiraishi has obtained sufficient information.

   But the eternal kaleidoscope above this, due to the lack of real objects, he doesn't know much.

  The only Uchiha Madara who has a finished product, his eyes are still on Nagato, which has caused his research in this area to be very slow.

  Although before Itachi, he still kept another pair of kaleidoscope Sharingan with unknown origin, but due to various hidden dangers, he was not in a hurry to use this power for Liuli.

  According to the information he has obtained, the kaleidoscope Sharingan between direct blood relatives has a higher fusion rate, and there are successful examples.

   But the Kaleidoscope Sharingan that is not directly related by blood, whether it can fuse, how repellent it is, what the success rate is, and what will happen after failure... About these things, Shiraishi doesn't know anything.

   So, he has been waiting for the right opportunity.

  Waiting for the first person who gets the crab in his hands.

   And this person, now finally came.

Sasuke Uchiha.

   Uchiha Itachi.

  It can be regarded as a replica of the Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Quanna brothers.

  Both brothers, they are both holders of Kaleidoscope Sharingan.

  If the Uchiha Madara brothers can successfully produce a pair of eternal kaleidoscopes, then there is a high probability that Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi's kaleidoscope Sharingan will also be successful.

  Thinking in this way, Shiraishi began to take out tools, and stretched his hands towards Itachi's eyes.
