Escape From Konoha - Vol 2 Chapter 126

The sultry heat left over from the summer has gradually disappeared from the air.

The autumn wind was bleak, and when he woke up in the morning, Kakashi noticed that the weather today was a little colder than the previous days.

The rumors have been fermenting for three full days.

After the vigorous suppression by the Anbu and the garrison, the situation has gradually improved.

If on the basis of this rumor, if the ultimate move is not released, it will not be long before this matter can be revealed.

In any case, it was Hokage who was in charge of Konoha on the bright side.

If you want to use this kind of unpopular rumors to shake the righteousness of Hokage, it is too much to look down on the painstaking management of the three generations of Hokage for so many years.

What’s more, behind the three generations of Hokage, there is the giant Sarutobi clan.

Before him, Anbu, an important department, was run by ninjas from the Sarutobi clan. No one knew what kind of terrifying power this ninja, who usually does not show the mountains and waters, would erupt at a critical moment.

Even today, some important positions in Anbu are still occupied by ninjas from the Sarutobi clan.

Not to mention, the three **** supporters of the Sarutobi clan, the Zhuludie clan.

Before the fall of the three generations of Hokage, the status of these four ninjas was more stable than that of the Hyuga clan, which had the limit of blood.

Konoha is the world of the ninja.

All high-level decision makers are from the ninja family.

With the so-called rumors, it is extremely difficult to shake the rule of the ninja.

“It should be almost the case that things have fermented to this point…”

Kakashi looked out the window at the street where the autumn wind was blowing, which was much cooler than before.

Get out of bed and get dressed and put on your forehead guard.

Kakashi pushed open the door and planned to go out.

But when he walked to the door of a room, he suddenly stopped.

The door panel was locked, and the doorknob and iron lock were covered with dust.

There was also a thick layer of dust accumulated in the crack of the door.

Obviously, this room has been sitting here for a long time without opening.

Kakashi turned around, and after a brief hesitation, put his hand on the iron lock and twisted it gently.

The iron lock was directly deformed and broke from the middle.

Kakashi twisted the door handle and pushed the door in.

The dust was everywhere, the windows were closed, and the curtains blocked the scenery outside the window, making the light in the room very dark, and many corners, as well as the beds and cabinets, were covered with cobwebs, like a haunted house.

Not only that, but in the center of the room, there was a pool of black and dried blood clots that had not been cleaned up.

Judging from the traces, no one has cleaned it for a long time.

With every step Kakashi took, a large amount of dust was thrown up in the room.

He didn’t care about this, his goal was clear, and he stopped in front of the cabinet on the wall.

Open the drawer of the cabinet, there is very little dust in it, and a short knife with the same blade style as the one he is holding is quietly placed in the drawer.

Kakashi picked up the dagger, raised it to a position higher than his eyes, and with a clang, pulled the dagger out of the scabbard.

The icy sword light was reflected on Kakashi’s black and white pupils. Because the sword light was too dazzling, he squinted his eyes subconsciously.

At the edge of the blade, there was a faint feeling that a scarlet color was flowing past.

“It’s time for you to come out…”

◎

“Hokage-sama, there is news from Tsunade-sama!”

Anbu’s sudden intrusion sounded in the room.

In Hokage’s office, Rizan and Lujiu, who had stayed up almost all night, were instantly refreshed when they heard the news, as if the tiredness was swept away from their bodies, and they sat up straight in their own seats. .

“Hurry up and show it to me!”

Hizan quickly got up, walked quickly to this Anbu Ninja, and took the scroll in Anbu Ninja’s hand.

Lu Jiu also got up, walked to Hizan’s side, and looked at the content on the scroll.

There are only a few lines on the scroll, indicating that Jiraiya and Anbu have discovered traces of Tsunade in the Iron Country, and they will be able to contact Tsunade in the next two days.

Seeing this, whether it was Hizan or Lujiu, the tensed muscles on his face loosened.

Jiraiya who went out and the news from Anbu, like timely rain, quenched the fire of calamity that was burning wildly in their hearts.

In any case, I finally saw the key to breaking the game.

“Continue to keep in touch with there, and let Jiraiya tell Tsunade about the difficult situation the village is facing now. Also, tell Tsunade that the daimyo has agreed to her succession as the fifth Hokage!”

Rolling up the scroll, Hizan said solemnly to the Anbu ninja in front of him.

This time, things were different from the past, and Tsunade could not tolerate another pushback and rejection of Hokage’s position.

“Yes!”

Anbu Ninja responded and left quickly.

“Hokage-sama, since there is news from Tsunade-sama, then we only need to stabilize the elder Danzo, and we cannot stimulate him.”

Kakashi calmly analyzed.

For them who have mastered the trump card, at this time, it is not appropriate to have too much conflict with Danzo, and unnecessary changes will occur.

Hidden nodded in agreement.

Lu Jiu’s thoughts coincided with him.

Danzo has already planned to go all out. Although there is a head-on conflict, he is not afraid as Hokage, but in that case, it will definitely provoke a strong rebound from the martial arts faction.

For him, who wants to buy time with all his heart, it is not suitable for him to escalate the conflict with Danzo at this time.

At least Dayi is on his side. In the face of Danzo, which has always lacked this foundation, he has a huge advantage in name to operate.

As long as Hokage himself doesn’t make mistakes, Danzo can’t do anything about it.

“Just follow what you said, and then focus on stabilizing the speech within the village. The rest will be discussed when Tsunade comes back.”

When Ri Zhan said this, he had sufficient confidence.

It was as if he had returned to the glorious years when he was young, and his mind was calm.

No matter what, he is always Hokage. As long as he occupies this name and has a huge ruling base in the village, it is difficult for Danzo to launch a coup by force.

If Danzo really wants to imitate Yakura, the fourth generation of Mizukage Yutachi, who succeeded in the coup d’etat, or the Uchiha clan who were the losers, Hiiza wouldn’t mind letting Danzo suffer from a fiasco at that time.

At that time, I might be able to solve the root, the biggest curse inside Konoha, once and for all.

Just then, the office door was pushed open again.

Still an Anbu ninja wearing a mask.

As soon as he came in, he shouted eagerly: “The big thing is bad, Hokage-sama, outside… rumors outside…”

“The rumors outside? What happened to those rumors?”

Seeing the Anbu ninja rushing in in such a hurry, Hizan immediately asked.

Although the news of Tsunade gave him a little more confidence, he still didn’t dare to be careless in the face of Danzo.

As a close friend from childhood to adulthood, he is very aware of the difficulties of his old friend.

“The direction of the rumors outside began to change, involving… involving…”

The Anbu Ninja also seemed to be very flustered and did not dare to continue talking.

“What’s involved? Come on!”

Seeing Anbu hesitating, Hiizhan and Lukisa’s faces sank.

Ordinary rumors don’t panic Anbu ninja so much.

And now Anbu Ninja is acting in such a chaotic manner, it is obvious that the rumors outside involve more sensitive matters.

“It involves… four generations of Hokage-sama…”

Anbu Ninja said these words, as if he had drained all his strength, and the clothes behind him were soaked in cold sweat.

“Watergate?”

Ri Zhan and Lu Jiu both took a breath, their bodies trembled, and a deep uneasiness emerged in their hearts.

Although they knew that Danzo was bold, they didn’t expect that Danzo would bring out the fourth Hokage who died twelve years ago.

“How did those rumors spread…”

Ri Zhan suppressed the panic in his heart, barely calmed down and asked.

“Those rumors said that it was Lord Hokage who deliberately delayed the rescue time when Nine Tails attacked Konoha twelve years ago, and deliberately caused the death of four generations of Hokage-sama…”

After hearing that, Ri Zhan took a step back and coughed violently, as if his body had been hit hard.

There was a cold murderous aura in the cloudy eyes, causing the temperature in the room to drop several degrees.

Anbu Ninja swallowed his saliva and shuddered, feeling the terrifying murderous aura that Hizen continued to release, and felt uneasy.

“Tuan – Tibetan -”

Ri Zhan almost gritted his teeth and said the name, his eyes were red, and killing intent shot out.

Lu Jiu smiled wryly, gaining a new understanding of the boldness of this ninja’s darkness.

Not only the third generation, but even Minato, the deceased fourth generation Hokage, dared to speak up.

You must know that there are many die-hard sects in the village who used to follow the fourth generation of goals. Did Danzang dislike that the trouble was not big enough, and came here on purpose to add fuel to the fire?

It seems that this is not just a battle between the root and the Hokage faction, I am afraid that even the Konoha ninja who used to be loyal to Minato will not be lonely to stand up.

If the scale is not well grasped, Lu Jiu shudders just thinking about it.

“Anything else to say besides that?”

Sensing that the Anbu ninja seemed to have something to say, Shikahisa had already made the best preparations.

“… Rumors also say that in order to cover up the fact that the fourth generation of adults is plotting against the fourth generation, Lord Naruto has been covering up the identity of the fourth generation of adults’ children for 12 years, treating them as demon foxes, completely suppressing the reputation of the fourth generation of adults, and putting everything in the fourth generation of adults. erase…”

“…”

There was a dead silence in the office.

Deer was stunned.

I thought I had underestimated Danzo’s audacity, but now it seems that the estimation just now greatly underestimated Danzo’s audacity.

Not only the fourth Hokage, but even the son of the fourth Hokage was involved, and the secret was made public.

Naruto, because of the nine-tailed man Zhuli, was originally very sensitive in his identity in the village, and now he has announced his identity as the son of Hokage…

The corners of Lu Jiu’s mouth twitched, his eyelids twitching.

As the think tank of Konoha, for the first time, he didn’t know how to deal with such a thing.

Even in the face of the behemoth of the Kingdom of Ghosts, no matter what, he can come up with some countermeasures.

But he really didn’t know how to deal with such a complicated matter.

How to stop such rumors?

In particular, the rumor itself has a certain factual basis, but some important details have been revised.

But in any case, Naruto’s identity is beyond doubt.

He is the son of Hokage, and he should have been treated like the son of a hero, instead of being scolded and hated by the villagers.

Lu Jiu only felt that he was one head and two big now.

Not to mention the third generation of Hokage, Hibiki, the killing intent in his eyes has turned into reality, causing the Hokage office to fall into a quagmire-like depressing atmosphere, making people breathless.

“…how dare he…how dare he…”

boom.

The office door was pushed open again.

The ones who came in were Shikahisa’s Akido Dingza and Yamanaka Kaiichi.

Looking at their eyes, it was obvious that they also got the rumors from outside, and they rushed in anxiously.

When they were about to speak, Lu Jiu smiled bitterly and said, “No need to report, this side already knows.”

Ding Zuo and Hai Yi were slightly startled, looked at Sun Zhan, who had lost their minds, and had no choice but to look at Lu Jiu for help, and asked, “Lu Jiu, what should I do next?”

“You ask me? Who should I ask?”

Lu Jiu could only smile bitterly again.

It can only be said that this time the group has made too much trouble.

He also wanted to ask, how did Danzang end?

In other words, has Danzo considered how to end it?

Even Lu Jiu began to wonder if the Uchiha clan, who disappeared for no apparent reason, would have to take it out and announce it if things were allowed to go on…

Lu Jiu could never imagine that a high-level elder dared to be so bold.

What’s even more ridiculous is that this tiger grew up under the eyelids of three generations of Hokage.

The power of the martial arts faction, or the power of its roots… has it gotten out of control to such an extent?

Ding Zuo and Hai Yi looked at each other and both saw the sigh in each other’s eyes.

The three clans of pigs, deer and butterflies are prosperous, and they are all lost. This is a covenant that has been upheld since the Warring States Period.

The three clans have long been as close as one clan.

Compared with the Sarutobi clan, the relationship between the three clans is obviously closer.

This time, they were invited to come here, on the one hand, to fulfill the contract with the Sarutobi clan. As the patriarch, they must do their part and must lead by example and not break their trust.

But on the one hand, it is also considered for the family’s retreat.

Could it be that you really have to consider the worst plan?

Ding Zuo and Hai began to think about this issue.

The biggest question is, will Konoha, who is in charge of the darkness of the ninja, really tolerate the growth of the ninja clan?

“Go, go to negotiate with Danzo…”

In the office, Ri Zhan’s bitter voice suddenly sounded.

The joy of finding Tsunade disappeared in an instant.

Hearing the arrangement of Hi-Zhan, the three of Lu Jiu were silent.

They could hear from Ri Zhan’s difficult tone that this meant a compromise.

“Tell Kakashi to return immediately.”

Shikaku instructed the Anbu ninja beside him.

Anbu Ninja was stunned for a moment, then looked at Hizan, who closed his eyes and nodded.

“Yes.”

Anbu Ninja left directly and went to find Kakashi.

“When Kakashi comes back, I’ll go with you, Hokage-sama.”

Kakashi said in a low voice.

Now their only chance of winning is Tsunade, who has not yet returned.

No matter how this negotiation goes, the hungry wolf Danzo must be fed, in exchange for enough time for Tsunade to return.

“You make arrangements.”

Three generations of Hokage took a deep breath, turned and walked to the window, looking at the scenery outside, silent.

“Then we’re going down too, Hokage-sama.”

Ding Zuo and Hai Yi bowed slightly and exited the office.

In the corridor outside, Ding Zuo and Hai Yi had very solemn expressions.

“I didn’t expect the situation to be so serious.”

“Yeah, with Lu Jiu’s arrangement, I’m afraid he’s already prepared for the worst. When the time comes, we…”

Hai’s eyes darkened.

“If Hokage-sama fails, the contract with the Sarutobi clan will end with the three of us.”

Ding Zuo also sighed.

Like Haiyi and Lujiu, he was ready to sacrifice to save the family.

But even in death, one must not lose faith in others, fulfill the contract with the Sarutobi clan, and fight for it until the blood is drained.

“Fuyue… It was also this dilemma that he faced at the beginning.”

Hai Yi suddenly said an unexpected name.

Ding Zuo was slightly surprised.

Hai Yi smiled and said: “Even if it is as strong as the country of ghosts, it is still incapable of killing a huge ninja clan in Konoha silently. Do you think, Dingzuo, that a Uchiha Itachi can do all this?”

A huge family was wiped out under the nose, but Anbu didn’t realize the fact that the Uchiha family was wiped out until the next day.

If Anbu’s action is really slow to this extent, then Hokage has been successfully assassinated countless times.

“Yeah, Uchiha made his choice, now it’s our turn to choose…”

Ding Zuo nodded, but his mood calmed down.

When they made the decision to bring a part of the family to assist Hizan, they had a sense of sacrifice.

Since there is this awareness, then, what is the fear of the so-called death?

At least in this way, the family can be preserved.

“The Will of Fire… The elders of the family, the most regrettable thing is to let us young people enter the ninja school to study this matter…”

While joking, Ding Zuo and Haiyi walked further and further, disappearing from the end of the corridor.

The next road, the worst is nothing but death.

Therefore, the two walked very calmly.

◎

In the wide and huge space, countless corridors hang in the air, criss-crossing, seemingly messy but arranged in a certain pattern.

Below the crisscross corridors, there is a bottomless darkness, like a giant beast with a **** mouth, which makes people shudder.

Feeling the dampness and coldness in the environment, Niizhan couldn’t remember the last time he came to Genbu’s headquarters and when was it.

Maybe ten years ago, maybe twenty years ago… Every time he came here, Ri Zhan was in a complicated and painful mood.

This time is no exception.

Because the rumors circulating outside are more than just rumors.

What he is involved in is not just the battle between the two factions, but also the marginalized four generations of Hokage supporters, and the neutral nine-tailed man Zhuri-Naruto.

Among them, Naruto is the weakest, but he is also the most worried about Rizhan.

Danzo dragged him in, and no matter how angry Hiyashiki was, it wouldn’t help.

He could only come to the root headquarters in person and negotiate with Danzo to prevent the further outbreak of rumors in the village.

At least to suppress the influence to a minimum, and to buy enough time for Tsunade to return.

Therefore, on the way here, Hizen was ready to compromise with Danzo again.

As long as Danzo’s demands are not excessive, he can try to accept them.

If Danzo’s persecution is too ruthless… Ri Zhan’s eyes flashed a stern look.

He is still Hokage!

Under the protection of Kakashi, Shikaku, and a group of four Anbu Junin, Hizan personally led the team to one of the corridors and walked towards the huge iron gate at the end of the corridor.

Just when he reached the middle of the corridor, Ri Zhan stopped.

Countless silhouettes shuttled through the dimly lit space, and a large number of root ninjas wearing painted masks appeared on the rest of the corridors, staring at Ri Zhan and his group with sharp eyes, as if there were no emotional machines.

Everyone’s breath is very good, which proves that every ninja is quite extraordinary, at least the beginning of the ninja.

Even among the chunin, I am afraid it is the kind that stands out.

Among them, there is an unknown number of Jōnin.

From their eyes, it can be seen that the ninja at the root has no respect for the Hokage, Hizan.

It’s just that Hokage, who has a high position in Konoha, is regarded as the prey that was about to be hunted by the roots in the past.

One… Thirteen… Twenty-one… Forty-seven… Shikuku silently counted the number of ninjas at the base.

Even so, there are many more root ninjas, hidden in the dark and not revealed.

Therefore, the more he counted, the heavier Lu Jiu felt.

Although I knew that the root was very powerful, I didn’t expect the root to grow to this extent.

This scale is similar to that of Anbu, and it may even be stronger.

It can be said that as long as Danzo becomes Hokage, the root can immediately take over all the work of Anbu, and manage Konoha Village in an orderly manner, and there will be no shortage of manpower and the predicament that the order cannot be implemented.

This also means that when Danzo comes to power, the dependence on the ninja will be greatly reduced.

At this time, the huge iron gate at the end of the corridor slowly opened.

A one-eyed old man of the same age as Hizan, leaning on crutches, walked slowly with a limp, surrounded by four root ninjas.

Although his walking posture was a little crippled, when his steps landed on the ground, he was very calm and did not flinch at all.

The exposed left eye is as sharp as a blade, piercing the heart.

Just looking at it, Lu Jiu felt his eyes sting, and looked away, not daring to look at Danzo.

After walking for half a minute, Danzo stopped three meters in front of Hizan, surrounded by four root ninjas.

“Sun Cut.”

“Tuanzang.”

The two called each other’s names and stared at each other, never relaxing.

Then, Danzo’s gaze stayed on Lu Jiu’s body for a while, until the other party lowered his head, and then turned his gaze to the right side of Hizan, which was where Anbu was.

The standard Anbu costume, wearing an animal mask, silver-white hair and a white-toothed dagger, revealed his identity – Hatake Kakashi.

As for the other four Anbu Junin, they were actively ignored by Danzo.

“I’m here, you should be clear. The rumors outside cannot be ignored.”

Rijian and Danzang are straight to the point, and there is no time to waste time with Danzang here.

“I need a place.”

Danzo also spoke without hesitation.

“Location?”

“That’s right, we will add another advisory elder, and the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hizu, will take the post.”

Danzo said.

Ri Zhan’s face sank. He did not expect that the collusion between the Hyuga clan and Danzo had reached this level.

Or, is this just a side of Danzo’s own words?

In fact, the Hinata clan had no such consideration at all.

If so, Danzo must have other arrangements.

“Yes. However, the rumors outside must stop!”

Sun Zhan said in a deep voice.

No matter what, let’s settle the rumors first. As for the extra advisor position, it can’t be implemented in a while.

“Give me three hours.”

“Okay, three hours later, I will hold a high-level meeting and add a consultant position.”

The two of them exchanged words like swords and swords, and they were very neat.

They all know that the time at the moment is very precious. All that can be shelved, and those that cannot be shelved, must be dealt with after treatment, and cannot be dragged.

Seeing Danzo agree, Ri Zhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was about to leave, Danzo suddenly said:

“Then let’s begin.”

start? What to start with?

Whether it’s Hiizhan or Lujiu, they’re all confused.

Suddenly, Kakashi, who was on the right side of Sun Zhan, suddenly burst out.

The icy sword light shredded and ripped through the air, mercilessly slashing at the back of Ri Zhan.

Blood spurted out.

The action is complete.

So that when the pain came, Ri Zhan was stunned, shocked, unbelievable, and confusion flashed through his eyes.

Before he could react, Danzo stepped forward quickly, took advantage of Rizhan’s weakness, stretched out his hand, and grabbed Rizhan’s throat fiercely.

The black restraint incantation walked from Danzo’s wrist like a snake, wrapped around Hizan’s body and controlled it.

The four Anbu Junin on the side reacted and stepped forward to stop Kakashi.

Suddenly, one of the Anbu Jōnin suddenly fell behind, and with a quick swing of the ninja blade, the sharp wind blade turned sharply from the blade, covering the surroundings.

puff!

The three Anbu Junin were stabbed in the back one after another, lost their strength to resist, and fell to the ground.

Lu Jiu’s expression changed greatly, this scene happened so suddenly that his mind was blank.

When he returned to his senses, the four root ninjas who followed Danzo drew out their ninja swords and put them on his neck, making him dare not act rashly.

“Why…why…”

Compared with the stab wounds on the back, what hurt Hizan even more was Kakashi’s betrayal.

why…

Why is Kakashi betraying himself…

As for the question of Sun Zhan, Kakashi did not say a word, holding the blood-stained white-toothed dagger, jumped down toward the dark abyss next to him, and disappeared into the vast darkness without a trace.

“I won, Rijian.”

Danzo’s cold voice sounded.

“Tanzo, you…”

“By now, you wouldn’t think that the one who sent back Tsunade’s news was your Anbu?”

The strength in Danzo’s hand increased again.

Ri Zhan’s pupils shrank, his old face distorted in pain.

“If you don’t do this, there will be no hope for you. You, who have no way to retreat, won’t come to negotiate with me at all… Let me tell you, the hope in your heart never existed from the beginning!”

The strength of Danzo’s arm increased again, and Rizhan’s entire face began to turn red.

Because his body was controlled by Danzo’s spell, he couldn’t even do basic struggles.

“It’s time to inject new ‘hope’ into you…”

Danzo raised his other hand and undid the bandage covering his right eye.

The ferocious writing wheel eyes, among which three hooks began to connect, became a more complex style.

“Write, write wheel eye!?”

Lu Jiu was horrified.

He never imagined that Danzang’s hidden right eye turned out to be a writing wheel eye, and that style…

Kaleidoscope writing wheel eye!

He was forced to look up and looked at Danzo, and after looking at each other for a minute, the struggling look in his eyes slowly returned to calm, exuding a strange and peaceful aura.

Seeing Hiyazaki, who had been controlled by the Kaleidoscope Shaker, Danzo let go of the palm that was choking his neck.

Ri Zhan fell weakly on the corridor, his weak appearance was like a helpless old man, coughing non-stop, and was in a state of depression.

“You are the beloved Hokage in the sun, and I am the root buried deep in the ground…”

The light that breaks through the darkness will dominate everything.

“Now, all the sins are caused by you.”

Only in this way, can I become the new light of the village, Rijian!

The ambition in Danzo’s eyes was no longer concealed, and he showed his sharpest fangs to the position of Hokage.

In front of him, he is invincible!

——————

The end of the chapter.

Sun Slash: Danzo, you—

Danzo: Hizan, I am Hokage!

Rizao: Danzo, you will regret it!
