Escape From Konoha Chapter 97

"Escape from Konoha (

"This time the mission is a B-level **** mission."

In Kakashi's team, Joinin led the team to stand at the gate of Konoha Village and said to the three team members with a serious face.

"Class B **** mission? It's really rare."

A Chunin looked surprised when he heard the words of the leader of the team.

Another Chunin in the team also nodded in agreement.

The general **** tasks are mainly C-level, and the B-level tasks have already involved the battle between ninjas.

"Then who is the target to be escorted?"

Kakashi doesn't care about the task level, he just wants to understand the task content quickly and complete the task as soon as possible.

After Kakashi finished speaking, the two Chunin members in the team looked at him and took a step back, obviously not wanting to stay with Kakashi.

Seeing this scene, led the team, and sighed quietly in his heart.

knew it would be so.

He stuffed Kakashi into his team, which was also a helpless move. On the one hand, it was Hokage's entrustment, and on the other hand, his team's combat effectiveness was indeed a bit insufficient.

Adding Kakashi to the team can just make up for the lack of combat power.

Unfortunately, Kakashi's problem wasn't his lack of strength. It was a bit too appalling to be a Chunin at this age.

This also proves that Kakashi is strong, otherwise it would be impossible to pass the extremely difficult Chunin exam.

"The caravan in the land of ghosts."

The leader of the team said.

"The country of ghosts? Is it that far?"

Not only Kakashi, but even the other two Chunin frowned.

The country of ghosts is a rare neutral country in the ninja world. It is adjacent to the country of snow and land in the north, the country of seclusion and the country of bears in the south, and the country of water and thunder across the sea to the west.

Although it is adjacent to many countries, it does not border the land of fire.

The Kingdom of Oni and the Kingdom of Fire are separated by several countries, and it takes a long journey to get there.

"Don't worry, this mission is not for us to go to the country of ghosts. In fact, we just need to wait for the caravan in the country of rain."

Seeing that the three people in the team were unknown, he led the team to explain and said: "Because the country of fire and the country of ghosts are far apart, the other party has hired Yannin for the journey from the country of ghosts to the country of rain. Escort. As for the second half of the journey, we will be escorted by our Konoha ninjas. This matter has been discussed by Hokage-sama and Tsuchikage-sama in secret, and there will be no diplomatic problems."

After listening to the explanation of the team leader, the three of them understood.

Indeed, in the early days of the last Shinobi World War, Iwa Shinobi was also a participant in the war. He fought with Konoha a few times in the Land of Rain, but Iwa Shinobi's main strength was to deal with Hanzo in Yuyin Village, and the friction with Konoha was not deep.

However, Konoha and Yanyin are not allies, and their relationship has always been lukewarm.

This kind of special task that requires two village ninjas to hand over and **** together does require the leaders of the two parties to negotiate in advance, so as to avoid some diplomatic disputes.

"If there is no problem, let's set off now."

In the Great Forest of the Land of Fire, the Konoha team of four ran fast inside.

"Speaking of which, Captain, why did the caravan from the Land of Ghosts come to the Land of Fire?"

A Chunin player caught up with the lead Jounin and couldn't help asking.

In the process of rushing, it is actually very boring, and I can only find some topics to talk about.

The leader of the team, Joinin replied: "Not all right, the caravan we escorted this time is settled in our Konoha Village."

All three of Kakashi were surprised.

"Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Technology Company, have you heard of it?"

"Well, I heard. Although it was established recently, the drugs developed by this company are much better than those on the market. They have been sold in several surrounding countries and have made a lot of money."

"That's right, the caravan escorted this time is a delegation from Shionhua Company. They plan to open a branch pharmacy in our Konoha. This matter has been approved by Daimyo and Hokage-sama."

"It's really amazing, it seems that this company has been established for less than half a year."

The chunin said with emotion.

"This is someone's ability. If the drugs they developed were ordinary, they would not have obtained the approval of the Daimyo and Hokage-sama."

Of course, the neutral status of the country of ghosts also provides a lot of convenience.

If the backstage of Shi Yuanhua Company is the land of the land, the land of wind and other big countries, the big name of the land of fire, and their Hokage-sama, no matter what they say, they will not agree.

This is like the country of iron can open a ninja shop in Konoha. Neutral countries do not participate in the war of the ninja world, and the reputation of the country of iron has always been recognized by all countries, so Konoha will open the door of convenience.

Not only that, many Ninja villages have weapons merchants from the Iron Country settled in, opening branches and providing sophisticated weapons.

And the current business method of Shiyuanhua Company is just the same as that of the Kingdom of Iron.

Good reputation, neutral country status, and strong drug research and development capabilities are the important reasons for getting permission to settle in.

"I heard that the monthly turnover of this company is very terrifying. It must be a number that ordinary ninjas like us can't imagine."

"Then try to complete the task."

The leader Jounin said encouragingly.

"Captain, it's only a few dollars for the task."

The chunin complained.

Not to mention the D-level and C-level tasks, the rewards of thousands or tens of thousands of taels are accumulated and after replenishing the ninja tools, there is not much money left.

"Then I can't help it. Maybe you can find a part-time job during normal times."

"It's impossible to do it at all. You still need to practice at ordinary times. After all, ninjas need to exercise their strength before they can choose higher-level tasks, and then the rewards will be higher."

Kakashi said at this time.

"makes sense."

The leader of the team nodded.

Vice versa, the lower the strength of the ninja, the lower the level of quests that can be received, and the reward or something, barely able to live on their own.

Thinking about it carefully, the profession of ninja really has no money.

Only when it comes to Shangnin will it change a little.

For an level mission, the minimum is a hundred thousand taels.

And the S-level task, complete one, at least several hundred thousand taels of reward.

"Okay, let's speed up, we have to get to the meeting place in the Land of Rain as soon as possible. Be careful when you arrive in the Land of Rain, the environment there will be very chaotic."

"Yes."

After leading the team, the three Kakashi were all in awe.

Although they haven't gone deep into the country of rain, they also know that the country of rain is currently in turmoil, bandits are rampant, and even rebels and wandering ninjas are mixed in it, there are three religions and nine styles.

The Land of Rain, the northern border.

When the Konoha Ninja Squad arrived here, it was already around three in the afternoon the next day.

At the entrance of a rainy town, I saw a caravan delegation from the Shionhua Company from the land of ghosts.

There are a total of twelve carriages used to transport medicines, and each carriage is filled with precious medicines.

After handing over the task with Iwanin's four-person team, Konoha's leader, Joinin, signed the document, and the Iwagakushi Joinin left with three Iwanin teammates.

Afterwards, the leader of the team, Junin, looked at the representative of the Shi Yuanhua company's caravan.

It was a young man with a short body, about twenty-three or four years old, with round-framed black sunglasses on his face, a spotless black suit on his body, and an umbrella in his hand.

The young man's name is Cardo.

The president of Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd., a big businessman with extremely powerful business methods.

In less than half a year, he went from an unknown person to a big businessman in the world today. The four Konoha did not dare to underestimate him, an ordinary person who was not a ninja.

As a rookie representative among the businessmen, his head has been offered a reward of five million taels in the underground black market.

This is already a very expensive bounty price for an ordinary person.

Presumably, as the rolling funds of Ziyuanhua Company become larger and larger, the price of his head will also rise, rising to more than tens of millions of taels.

Because of the sudden entry of Ziyuanhua Company, many small companies in the pharmaceutical industry are on the verge of bankruptcy, squeezing the interests of others, and it is natural for Cardo to be offered a reward in the black market.

"Everyone in Konoha, let's take a night's rest in this town tonight. I've already booked a hotel. How about starting tomorrow morning?"

After Cardo shook hands with the leader Jounin friendly, he pushed the black sunglasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingers and smiled calmly.

"That's fine. It's really not suitable to walk at night at this time."

Besides, the carriage was full of precious medicines, and it would be bad if an accident happened.

Looking at the two guards beside Cardo, they were wearing black trench coats, and on the back of the black trench coats, the mark of Shionhua was printed, and I knew that these people were not ordinary guards.

Not only that, but next to the twelve carriages filled with items, there were nearly two dozen guards, all wearing black trench coats of the same style, with the mark of Shionhua on the back.

Means they are from the same faction.

After thinking about it for a while, the leader of the team was relieved.

Although Shiyuanhua Company has not been established in the country of ghosts for a long time, it is only a matter of time before it becomes a giant company in the pharmaceutical industry.

There must be a special department that trains armed personnel to protect their own goods.

However, with so many guards, it seems that the total value of this batch of medicines is so high that an ordinary person cannot imagine that so many guards are needed for protection.

In short, this is not something to think about.

The task of my team is to **** the caravan delegation of Shiyuanhua Company to Konoha safely.

The remaining business cooperation, that is Hokage's work.

The next morning, the Konoha four-person ninja team, together with the guards of Shionhua Company, escorted twelve carriages loaded with medicines to set off towards Konoha, the land of fire.

Because of the **** of these valuable medicines, the speed of the convoy was slow.

It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that I slowly felt the junction of the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire.

"Mr. Cardo, go through the canyon ahead, and after a while, you will be the land of Fire Nation."

Leading the team, Joinin pointed to the huge canyon sunk in the rain ahead, and gave Cardo the direction.

"Let the people behind you move faster."

Cardo nodded and said something to the guard next to him.

The guard went down and conveyed Cardo's order.

"When you reach the border of the Land of Fire, you don't have to worry about the problem of bandits on the road. We have Konoha's border guards on the border."

The leader said with a smile.

"The ability of Konoha ninjas has always been the best in the world of ninjas, which our company can trust. In fact, we came here with a win-win attitude."

Cardo responded with a smile.

Between the words, the convoy has slowly entered the canyon.

When we got here, the rainfall began to decrease, but there was still a muddy road under our feet. Not only was it difficult to walk on foot, but the speed of the convoy had to be reduced to ensure the safety of the medicines in the carriage.

In this regard, the team led Jounin and Kado didn't say anything. A country like the Land of Rain, which has been in chaos for years, cannot even guarantee the safety and life of its own people, let alone invest excess funds into road construction. .

"team leader……"

Kakashi and the other three Chunin came up at this moment, and whispered softly beside the leader.

"Ah, I know."

Since entering the canyon, the leader of the team has noticed that the atmosphere here is not right, and there is a cold taste mixed in the rain.

boom!

The explosion came too suddenly, but the guards who escorted the convoy, as well as the Konoha Ninja, were not too scared.

As the flames burst on the rock wall, huge blocks of rock fell from above.

Kakashi took the lead in pulling out the white-toothed dagger behind his back, and swung hard at the falling rock.

The rock was divided into two halves from the middle, and then with the help of the still falling rock as a pedal, it started to attack the top of the rock wall.

Behind him, the captain of the jounin and two chunin teammates also rushed up.

They were greeted by a large number of Kunai and Shuriken thrown from the sky.

Cardo stood in the team calmly, and the two guards in black trench coats standing beside him also had the same expressions, like stone pillars standing in the rain.

Half of the guards wearing black trench coats left behind to protect the vehicle, and half of them cooperated with the four Konoha ninjas to fight to annihilate the incoming enemy.

"Really, I couldn't help but want to do it when I got here. It seems that these people are too overestimated."

Cardo sat on the pedals of a carriage, and was not shaken by the sound of fighting in his ears.

Since he took over the company, he has been attacked by several such assassinations every month, but he is still alive and well, which is a testament to the strength of Shionhua Company.

"There's no other way, after all, the value of this batch of medicines is too tempting."

"It's worth watching as a sideshow. Let's solve it quickly."

"Yes."

It is Cardo's task to develop the company and make it profitable.

It is their job to destroy the enemy.

Kakashi, who was fighting with the attackers, immediately understood the identities of these people through the way of fighting. They came from samurai, and knew some chakra applications. Some people were wandering ninjas, and they knew a little more practical low-level ninjutsu.

For him, who had learned the white-toothed sword technique, these people were not strong enough to pose a threat.

But for those two Chunin companions, it might be a little troublesome.

Seeing that the two of them were fighting hard, they were almost hit by enemy attacks several times, but Kakashi just glanced at him and made sure that his leader Joinin was not far away, and the two of them would not be in any danger to their lives.

Therefore, Kakashi simply ignored the hard battle that the two faced.

Rather than thinking about this kind of thing, destroying the enemy faster and completing the task as soon as possible is what he has to do.

As Kakashi fell one by one and shuttled through the rain curtain, the blood on the White Fang dagger in his hand was continuously washed away by the rain, turning red and white, white and red, and changed repeatedly.

The battle was over after ten minutes.

At the cost of a few minor injuries, all these people were defeated, and some people saw that the situation was not good and fled directly, and everyone did not chase.

"Mr. Cardo, we can continue on our way."

Leading the team, Jorin wiped off the blood on his shoulders and clothes, and the pungent smell of blood was very weak in the rain.

When Kado pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and ordered the team to move on, Kakashi seemed to have a dispute:

"Hey, Kakashi, what's the matter with you? Didn't you see that we were sending you a support signal just now?"

After the battle, the two chunin who cooperated with Kakashi for the first time were very dissatisfied with Kakashi's indifferent attitude just now.

Because of the large number of enemies besieging the two of them, a lot of color was hung on them.

"With the strength of the two of you, I feel that even without my assistance, you will be at peace with each other."

Kakashi told the truth.

The strength of these two people is also there, and in the case of being surrounded, it is enough to defeat the besieging enemy.

To be able to destroy as many enemies as possible, considering the situation at the time, Kakashi believes that this is the best choice.

Eliminating the enemy sooner means that the safety of this batch of medicines will be out of danger sooner.

"What did you say? Do you want to say it again? Aren't we a teammate?"

The chunin grabbed Kakashi's collar.

"I said, I judged that when the two of you are not in danger of life, destroying the enemy as quickly as possible was the top priority at the time. The longer the delay, the more dangerous the team will be. Compared with you, The safety of this batch of medicines is even more important.”

The faces of the two Chunin were ashen, and they were completely ugly.

"Okay, the three of you, don't make it like this the first time you cooperate. I was watching it at the time, and the three of you won't be in trouble."

The leader Jounin smiled apologetically at Kado, and then walked helplessly to the side of the three to discourage the relationship between the three from further deteriorating.

"Cut. It's totally incompatible with this kind of person."

The two Chunin just gave up and started to deal with their wounds.

"I'm just trying to minimize the risk of mission failure."

Kakashi also turned his head to one side, and it seemed that he still thought his choice was the right one.

The captain of Shangin scratched his head, and his head was extremely painful.

He knew it was like this, Kakashi was more difficult to deal with than he thought.

It is estimated that he will not be able to stay in his team for long.

I really hope that some Junin can educate this genius kid, and then get it out to perform the task.

Otherwise, a team will not be able to form a good collaborative relationship at all.

"Laughing, Mr. Cardo, let you see such a humiliating side of our Konoha."

"It seems that Junin doesn't work well either."

Cardo said with a smile.

The Shang Nin captain gave a helpless smile.

He really wasn't very good at being this kind.

But he can also understand why Kakashi became like this.

But he found that Kakashi's psychological problems were more serious than he thought, and he gave up the idea of ​​​​correcting him.

Two days have passed, and the captain of the shinobi has successfully arrived at Konoha with the target escorted by the mission.

After abandoning the three of Kakashi, Captain Josin went to the Hokage Building to report his work.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Hiyazaki smiled at the name Jounin.

"It's nothing. Although there was a little accident on the road, it's not a big problem."

"I've probably figured it out."

Ri Zhan took a look at the work report presented by the Shangnin captain, and his face became condensed.

"Lord Hokage, do you have anything to add?"

"Kakashi, is there really no way to correct his problem?"

Hirohito asked the question that he cared most about.

"With my personal ability, I can't correct his problems. I don't know how long I can keep him in the team, but Kakashi is like this... It is estimated that at most a month, he needs to find another family."

Captain Jōnin answered truthfully.

Kakashi is understandable for being like this, but he doesn't want members of his team that destroy team relationships.

After all, he had to act in the interests of the entire team, not just Kakashi.

"I know, I'll think about it. You go down first."

"I beg your pardon, Hokage-sama."

Captain Jōnin bowed to Hizan and walked out of the office.

After Captain Jōnin walked out of the room, Hizan pondered.

"Do you really want to put him in Anbu?"

too young.

Experience is not enough either.

Not up to the passing level of Anbu.

And Kakashi entered Anbu in this state, which made Hizan even more worried.

The answer to the question of which is more important, quests or companions...

Ri Zhan sighed in his heart, he was really shameless to tell Kakashi the answer to this kind of question.

Because if you tell Kakashi one answer, you must deny the other.

Sakumo's death, how to explain?

This is an extremely contradictory question.

In other words, he himself does not have a standard answer for reference.

"Lord Hokage, Mr. Cardo, the head of Shionhua Company, wants to see you."

An Anbu walked in from the outside and reported to Rijian.

"I see, let him in."

Ri Zhan sorted out his sad face and instructed Anbu.

Now Shiyuanhua Company has cooperated with Yanyin and Shayin, and successfully opened branch pharmacies in the two Ninja villages. It is said that the problem of insufficient medicines in the two villages has been greatly alleviated, and the effect is considerable.

Therefore, this business cooperation is also very important for Konoha.

Then he can't be rude in front of the guests.

In the evening, Konoha Cemetery.

Only Kakashi stood here alone, standing in front of his father Sakumo Hatake's tomb, staring blankly at the black and white photos placed there.

The man looked at himself with a gentle smile, and his eyes contained the love for the world.

But this kind of loving gaze made Kakashi have the urge to flee.

He is neatly dressed at the moment, but the overall impression he gives is that of a stray dog ​​with nowhere to live.

"Father, tell me...why..."

Kakashi's eyes flashed blankly.

He couldn't understand.

I can't figure out what to do and how to do it now.

The father who saved his companions and abandoned the mission was insulted and slandered, and he chose to commit suicide and die.

Then he chose the task first and his companions second, why was he still rejected by others?

Kakashi couldn't understand this question, how to answer it.

As an honor student who graduated from the ninja school at the youngest age, Kakashi was the first to be puzzled by a question to such an extent.

The will of fire he has learned should start from the basis that everyone in the village is a family.

Everyone in the village is their own companion, a family-like existence, something that must be protected even if they die~www.mtlnovel.com~ But...his father committed suicide.

Because of his behavior of saving his companions, the mission failed.

Therefore, ninjas should give priority to tasks, just a tool to perform tasks, and tools do not need to be too loving, so when necessary, the lives of companions can be freely given up.

Then what is the use of the will of fire that I learned at school...? Kakashi was taken aback by his own rebellious thoughts.

As a result, the words "companion" and "task" kept jumping in his mind, and he began to do the most intense and cruel struggle.

At this time, Kakashi suddenly covered his head and his face became contorted.

Not anymore.

Couldn't hold on.

The pain in the head is about to burst.

This is the only thing Kakashi can feel right now - pain.

Which is the correct answer?

Why did I choose the mission and they still didn't accept me?

If I am wrong, then my father is right, why did my father commit suicide?

Should I choose companions or missions?

What is the will of fire?

Kakashi, who was tortured by these two thoughts to the point where his will almost collapsed, finally couldn't hold it, so he knelt in front of the tomb with his hands on the ground, and the cold sweat on his face kept dripping down.

"Ha...ha...the head hurts...it hurts..."

In the woods next to the cemetery, a figure was backed by a tree, only half of its face was exposed, while the other half was shrouded in darkness.

This is the face of a young male.

It was Shiraishi.

He leaned against the tree like this, with his hands in his trouser pockets, and quietly listened to Kakashi's faint murmur of pain.

After stopping there for a moment, he disappeared from behind the trees, leaving no trace.

Chapter end
