Escape From Konoha - Vol 2 Chapter 139

“really……”

Leaning against the wall, proceed cautiously.

The number of ninjas patrolling and guarding began to decrease, and many important positions were vacant.

With his familiarity with the route of the root headquarters base, Tou easily bypassed the Anbu cordon that controlled this base.

Now that the root ninjas are restricted from moving, the defense of this area, which was originally the highest alert level in Konoha, is becoming fragile.

Moreover, due to the lack of manpower in Anbu, the Anbu control of the root can only be barely controlled on the surface. Many places have become full of loopholes because of staff vacancies.

Pocket was waiting for this moment.

In the past, although he was able to freely enter and leave the root base, his every move was also monitored by Danzo’s subordinates. In such a place, it was impossible to avoid the eyes of the root.

According to Dou’s investigation, many places in the root base have set up barrier barriers, which even the naked eye can’t see through.

Perception ninjas are here, and if you don’t know the route, it’s easy to get lost in such a place.

“Next, it seems that there will be no more accidents…”

Tou has been avoiding the pursuit of the roots these days. Although it was very hard to hide, and he was almost pulled out from the shadows by the people of the roots several times, it was all worth it for today’s huge harvest.

Tou walks silently on the floor like a cat. Every route here is familiar to him. For this moment, he has been waiting for many years.

Even if he has become a plaything in Danzo’s hands over the years, he has done a lot of dirty things for him that he doesn’t want, and he is willing to do anything.

Soon, Dou arrived at his destination.

This is a large cold room.

It is also commonly known as a mortuary and a mortuary.

However, this is not the place to keep experimental corpses.

The corpses preserved in this room are all Konoha ninjas who once belonged to Gen.

After their sacrifice, if the body is not lost, it will be transported here for preservation, so that they can obtain final rest and tranquility.

And in order to ensure that these root ninjas get the final peace after death, each corpse is stored in a separate coffin.

The top of each coffin is marked with a number, the original name of the victim, and a code at the root.

There are a total of 113 coffins, which means that there are a total of 113 elite ninjas here, who died as an unknown Konoha ninja.

It is also the number of people killed in the mission for decades.

In terms of the strict requirements of the root for the strength of official members, this is undoubtedly an astonishing number.

After all, those who can be absorbed into the root must be special ninjas who control secret techniques or the boundaries of blood.

Pocket swept over the top of each coffin, skimming the names and codes of these people, and kept looking for his own target.

Eventually, he stopped in front of coffin number 81.

Under the number, the name ‘Pharmacist Ye Naiyu’ is engraved.

She was the eighty-first root ninja who died in the mission, and her medical skills were among the best among Konoha in the past.

Because my heart is too longing for the light, during the Third Ninja World War, I half broke away from the root, and with the support of Konoha’s three generations of Hokage, a wartime orphanage was opened, which can be said to be an alien in the root. But even so, because of her powerful medical and espionage abilities, she was reactivated by Danzo, so she could not erase her traces from her roots until she died.

After her death, the corpse was still recovered by the people at the root, so as to avoid the secrets in the corpse from being probed, and kept in the morgue of the root headquarters. This is also a natural result.

“Long time no see, Dean, I’m really looking for it.”

Dou took off the glasses on his face, and a flash of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.

Although the current self, tentatively found the meaning of life, such as the meaning of existence given by Orochimaru, but the person who gave himself the original meaning and name and made him live strong is this woman lying in the coffin.

Just like the transcripts released in Ninja School, people will only pay attention to the first place, often ignoring who is the second place.

The same is true for the bag.

Initially and later, this is a well-established definition in mind and will not change over time.

Therefore, whether it was Orochimaru that gave him the meaning of existence, or whether he regarded Orochimaru as a substitute for the most important woman, he couldn’t tell the difference.

But only one thing, pocket is very clear.

That is, in his heart, the status of this woman is irreplaceable.

Some people will spend their entire lives repaying the pain of childhood.

And some people can use childhood to heal their whole life.

Pocket undoubtedly belongs to the latter.

From this point of view, he is also one of the luckiest people in the war years.

As a war orphan, she spent a happy and carefree childhood under her company when she was the most lonely and helpless.

It is also because of this period of childhood that I can survive tenaciously in this cruel world.

Tou took a deep breath, put on his glasses again, then stretched out his hand tremblingly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and an excited and happy smile appeared on his face.

He slowly lifted the heavy coffin board and let the light shine into the darkness like an abyss.

In a trance, a gentle smile appeared in Dou’s mind.

The memory is so clear, the blood is like a countercurrent, and it begins to boil hot.

However, all this came to an abrupt end when the coffin board was opened.

A smile froze on his face.

Inside the coffin, it was empty.

“How is this going……”

Sakura and Shino, who arrived here, were surprised when they saw that the surrounding trees and land were destroyed in a large area.

The sky in the far sky was overcast, and there was a faint thunder light shining from the dark clouds, and the air was full of damp breath.

At this moment, it seemed to hear a faint moan.

Sakura and Shino looked towards the source of the sound, and immediately saw Ya and Akamaru lying on the ground with scars.

“tooth!”

Sakura and Shino ran over to check Ya and Akamaru’s injuries.

“It’s you… I’m so sorry, we failed to intercept Sasuke…”

Tooth barely opened his eyes, and when he saw that it was Sakura and Shino, he said with difficulty.

“how so……”

“Leave me alone, I can hold on, hurry up and find Hinata…”

Toa stops Sakura from performing medical ninjutsu on her, and asks her to go to Hinata.

“Hinata?”

Sakura was taken aback.

“That **** Sasuke… hurry up and go!”

After saying this, Tooth fell directly and fell into a coma.

When Sakura was at a loss, a bug flew over and landed on Shino’s fingertips.

“Sakura, come with me. Hinata seems to be in danger.”

Shino flew in one direction without waiting for Sakura to respond.

“Wait for me, Shino.”

Glancing at Tooth, who had passed out unconscious, Sakura had no choice but to follow Shino.

Soon, Sakura, who followed Shino, stopped in a clearing.

Seeing Hinata who was bleeding heavily from her chest, her face was as pale as a dead person, and Sakura’s face suddenly changed.

Although Shino was worried about Hinata’s situation, she also knew that she could not disturb Sakura at this time to avoid her making mistakes in the first aid process.

He scattered his own bad worms and distributed them in the surrounding woods, looking for traces of Shikamaru and others while being vigilant.

Ya and Hinata are both here, so the rest should be here too.

Judging from the battle traces here, it is likely that the mission to pursue Sasuke failed.

Soon, news came from the bad bugs, and Shikamaru and Dingji found it.

Although the injury is serious, it is not fatal, only Hinata’s situation is very bad.

Judging from the amount of bleeding in her chest, she was probably seriously injured.

About half an hour later, Sakura sat down on the ground as if she was collapsed, sweat dripping down her face, and let out a sigh of exhaustion.

“how is the situation?”

Shino stepped forward and asked.

“The injury has barely stabilized. There is a special chakra that runs in her body to prevent Hinata’s injury from continuing to deteriorate, but she needs to be transported back to the village as soon as possible for the second course of treatment. Fortunately, it only hit the shoulder and lungs. The position between, if the position is deflected a little more…”

Sakura didn’t say anything, but Shino knew what Sakura said about the consequences.

If it is biased to the heart, I am afraid that it will be killed immediately, instead of leaving people with the opportunity for first aid like this.

Hearing what Sakura said, Shino was also slightly relieved, and asked:

“Can you tell what kind of ninjutsu that injured Hinata?”

Shino’s question silenced Sakura.

Seeing this situation, Shino didn’t ask any further questions. Both of them knew what the answer was. As a result, a flash of anger flashed through the eyes behind the sunglasses, and the palms Shino put down slowly clenched into fists.

At this moment, one after another silhouettes flashed in the open space, causing Sakura and Shino to turn their heads to look.

“Hey, are you all right?”

The people who suddenly appeared here were dressed in the attire of Konoha ninjas, and in the team, there were three ninjas in white clothes.

On the backs of these white-robed ninjas are embroidered with the word “medicine” enclosed in a circle.

A medical ninja from the Konoha Medical Department.

In addition to these three medical ninjas, there are also four other ninjas, one is jounin and three are chunin.

The first person to ask the question was the leader of the team, Jounin.

“You are……”

“I’m Shangnin Zhucun, a high-level advisor, and I’m here to support you.”

The name Junin said.

Sakura and Shino’s expressions relaxed.

“Thank you for your support. There are several seriously injured people here. Please transfer them back to the village as soon as possible.”

Sakura knew that there was progress on Ino’s side, and immediately told them that there were wounded here who needed first aid.

“Of course, that’s what we’re here for.”

Takemura Kamijin commanded his subordinates and medical ninjas behind him, and asked them to go around and bring the wounded.

“That, and the other one is Naruto Uzumaki. I don’t know where it went for the time being. It is very likely that I will continue to look for Sasuke…”

Before Sakura could finish speaking, Takemura Kamijin said:

“Please rest assured, Naruto Uzumaki has already been handled by Lord Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, along with the perception ninjas of the mountain family. Sasuke Uchiha should also be brought back smoothly.”

Takemura Kamijin’s task is to deal with the possible casualties during the pursuit. As for Naruto’s safety and bringing back Uchiha Sasuke, Sanren personally came forward.

Although there are still some doubts in this, Takemura Kamijin will not ask about these things, he only needs to complete his work.

Sakura and Shino looked at each other and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to pursue Sasuke and find Naruto.

◎

Valley of the End.

The rain wets the forest and the earth.

When Jiraiya waited for the others to arrive here, only Naruto was seen lying on the muddy ground covered in blood.

There were three people who followed Jiraiya.

They are the Shannaka clan and the Inuzuka clan, respectively, responsible for perception and tracking in the team.

The last person was the squad leader of Anbu, wearing an Anbu ninja outfit and a beige hooded coat, an expert in assassination and medical care.

He walked up to Naruto who was lying on the ground, squatted down, his hands were covered with emerald green light, covering Naruto’s wounds.

I saw that the wound on Naruto’s body was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, but due to ischemia, his face was still pale, but his breathing finally calmed down.

“How’s it going?”

Zilai also stepped forward and asked.

The dark part captain stood up and replied, “Even if you don’t use medical ninjutsu, there is no danger. It should be related to the Nine-Tailed Chakra. Probably you can live and dance tomorrow.”

In the case of the symbiosis between the human column force and the tail beast, once the human column force is in danger, the tail beast will provide its own chakra to protect and fight.

This is also the case with Naruto now. In order to ensure that Naruto does not die, Nine Tails will do his best to save Naruto’s life and prevent him from dying.

As a medical expert, he only needs a simple follow-up treatment.

At the same time, he was also shocked by Naruto’s resilience. Even with the assistance of a tailed beast, it would be difficult to recover from such an injury within a day.

Perhaps there is also his own physique at play.

The huge vitality of the Vortex Clan.

“That’s good. This kid is really messed up and leaves the village rashly. If he encounters someone from that organization, it will be bad.”

Jiraiya carried Naruto on his shoulders and complained to Naruto in a low voice.

First, there was an accident in the village, and then the teacher Sarutobi was killed. If Naruto had a problem now, he really didn’t know what to do.

Fortunately the worst didn’t happen.

“What should I do next? Are you going to chase Sasuke Uchiha? It seems that he has left. Judging from the traces of the battle, it will take at least half an hour.”

The captain of the dark part said.

“I want to **** Naruto back to Konoha, and the task of chasing Sasuke Uchiha is left to you. You can try to contact the troops on the border. It is not that simple for that Uchiha kid to pass there. ”

Jiraiya instructed the Yamanaka clan and the Inuzuka clan’s Joinin.

Nowadays, the internal management system of Konoha is very chaotic, and many places need to be controlled by Shangnin.

For this support mission, being able to squeeze out a few jounin is already the limit.

After all, in Konoha, the unstable bomb of Danzo still exists, causing the energy of Anbu and many Jōnin to be temporarily placed on internal stability.

Another point, compared to Uchiha Sasuke, Naruto’s importance, whether in his eyes or in the eyes of the high-level, is the highest priority.

“Yes.”

After receiving Jiraiya’s order, the Yamanaka clan and the Inuzuka clan immediately nodded their heads and launched a pursuit operation.

“come in.”

In front of a huge rock with no entrance, Kakashi stopped, put his hand on a raised stone in the rock, and turned it slightly.

On the huge rock, tremors immediately appeared, and a stone gate was opened. Inside the stone gate, there was an underground staircase that connected to the ground.

Sasuke panted and followed Kakashi into the inside of the rock, and walked along the underground stairs towards the ground.

After about ten meters deep into the ground, the underground stairs reached the end.

Then there is a smooth passage.

There are many intersections in the secret road. On both sides of the secret road, there are snake-like candlesticks, and the candles on them have long been extinguished.

Kakashi could only take out the lamp in the ninja bag and illuminate the road ahead.

Occasionally shine on those snake-shaped candlesticks, giving people a ghastly feeling, as if a live snake was twisting there.

“here is……”

Sasuke endured the strange and rancid smell here and asked Kakashi in front of him.

“Orochimaru was placed in a stronghold in the country of fire. It was probably created during the Third Ninja World War. However, after Orochimaru left Konoha in a hurry, this stronghold has been abandoned. It is said that before, this place was It’s where Orochimaru was used for human trials.”

As Kakashi walked forward, he explained to Sasuke who followed.

“That’s pretty nasty. No wonder there’s a rotten corpse smell in the air. How many corpses is that guy dealing with here?”

Sasuke covered his mouth and nose, disgusting the smell here.

“I don’t know. There were too many people missing during the war, so it’s difficult to make accurate statistics. However, at that time, Orochimaru had not defected to Konoha, and the living bodies used for human experiments were all enemy ninjas.”

Although the middle and low levels of the village are not very supportive of human experimentation, human experimentation is an inescapable part of developing medical technology and studying various forbidden and secret techniques.

Among Konoha, there are ninjas who are keen on human experimentation to bring strength, especially Danzo and Orochimaru.

In order to win the war, the two do not care what means are used.

“Arrived.”

Kakashi turned several intersections and took Sasuke to the door of a stone room.

Kakashi entered the stone room first and lit the candle in the stone room.

There was only one bed for rest, and the rest was nothing.

Sasuke found that this place was not as dirty as he imagined, and even the dust on the bed and the floor had been cleaned up. It didn’t look like a place that had been abandoned for more than ten years.

“Only here is clean. I specially asked someone to come over to clean it a few days ago. Tonight, we will rest here.”

“What should I do with dinner then? I’ve run out of ration pills on me.”

Sasuke said.

There is still a lot of time until tomorrow.

He left Konoha non-stop today, and did not eat breakfast or lunch.

He needs to recover his physical strength and chakra now, and he must get enough food.

“Someone will bring it after dinner.”

Kakashi also considered this issue, reassuring Sasuke.

After Sasuke listened, he took out a portable medical box from his ninja bag.

When he took it out, Sasuke did not open it immediately, but fell into some kind of memory.

“Sakura gave it to you, this medical kit.”

Kakashi said.

He knew that for the safety of the members of the team, including his guide, Jōnin, Sakura had all sent a self-made medical box, which contained medical equipment that could be used to stop bleeding, heal wounds, and remove poison. Compared with Konoha’s unified standard medical box, each has its own merits.

“It’s pointless.”

Sasuke opened the medical box, took out the medical bandage, and skillfully wrapped it around his arms and abdomen.

“The movements are quite skilled, just like a real medical staff, is this also what Xiao Sakura taught you?”

“…”

For some reason, Sasuke was very angry.

“Now you can tell me who you are. You are not from Konoha’s side at all.”

If it was on Konoha’s side, before that, he should have been brought back to Konoha by Kakashi to be interrogated by the higher-ups.

But Kakashi didn’t do this, but chose to take him away and sent him to the stronghold abandoned by Orochimaru in the Land of Fire, and… Kakashi’s identity is probably far more than that.

“Didn’t you investigate me secretly?”

Kakashi asked back.

“Yeah, I secretly investigated you out of curiosity in the past. You were originally a disciple and cronie of the fourth Hokage, but after the death of the fourth Hokage, you were a popular person around the third. That’s all I know. .”

Moreover, this is also something that many ninjas in Konoha know, and it is not a secret.

“Fourth Hokage… It’s really a long-standing title. You are right. After the fourth generation passed away, I worked under the third generation, but on the other hand, I was also relying on Danzo and Orochimaru to do the work for them. A lot of things. For example, helping them to ambush nails among the Anbu and the garrison, and for example, handing them the movements of the three generations of Hokage, so that they can always grasp the traces of the third generation’s actions.”

“You are really scary.”

After listening to Kakashi’s narration, Sasuke couldn’t help but be shocked by Kakashi’s boldness.

The fourth Hokage, the third Hokage, the high-level executive called Danzo, and the S-class rebel Orochimaru, each of them can be said to be important figures, but Kakashi lives like a duck to water among these people. Both are difficult.

“It’s nothing, it’s just out of mission.”

“Mission? Speaking of which, I remember you mentioned the land of ghosts before…”

“It’s rare for you to remember this. That’s right, the reason why I acted as a multi-faceted spy among the four of them was on the one hand for my own reasons, on the other hand, because Chiba Shiraishi gave me this task. He It can be said that it is my direct superior. The intelligence station of the country of Oni in Konoha was established by me and others, of course, with the convenience of Anbu’s identity.”

As Naruto’s direct cronies, even if they are an unemployed person in Anbu, they have priority over many Jōnin in terms of status and function, because this represents Naruto’s authority. Therefore, in normal operations, as long as you make good use of Anbu’s identity, it is enough to pry open a hole in Konoha.

With the continuous promotion of positions in the Anbu, it is naturally easier to establish an intelligence station.

“Then the chaos inside Konoha this time is also the land of ghosts…”

Sasuke’s face was slightly surprised.

“No, it has nothing to do with that side. It’s purely a conflict within Konoha, even if there is no ghost country, this conflict will break out sooner or later. The Konoha martial arts faction is getting stronger and stronger, and Danzo wants to seize power in Hokage. Either this year or next year. I just triggered this conflict in advance, and pushed Orochimaru in front of Konoha by the way, and let him bear the anger of Konoha instead of me.”

This is also the reason why Kakashi does not plan to return to the land of ghosts for the time being.

What he did in Konoha has already caused public anger. If he returns to the country of ghosts, the kingdom of ghosts will definitely be held accountable by Konoha in this regard, and it will also cause panic in other countries, which is very detrimental to the country of ghosts.

But Orochimaru is different.

He is just betrayal, forbearance has no credibility, and he cannot make his own voice in the world.

Orochimaru disturbed Konoha, and the rest of the countries would not only not be afraid, but would only applaud and ridicule Konoha.

For Kakashi, Orochimaru was the scapegoat he found and the safest haven.

After Sasuke listened, he almost understood most of the things.

“Then what led me to investigate Uchiha…”

“That was arranged by me. However, the person who connected with Mizutsutsuki Teak was not me, but another intelligence officer of the same level as me.”

“Asami Masumi?”

A flash of light flashed in Sasuke’s mind, as if he had grasped some important information.

He suddenly remembered the woman who was the director of the pharmacy department at Konoha Hospital. Her existence is too mysterious, and there are also unknown secrets between Kakashi and her.

Through Kakashi’s words, the other party is working for Konoha on the surface, but it is very likely that he is serving the country of ghosts behind the scenes.

Kakashi didn’t speak, as if acquiesced.

“Tell me so much, are you not afraid that I will leak it out?”

Sasuke asked.

“It’s okay to say it. Neither me nor her, strictly speaking, are not the most important part.”

In this way, it will be easier for Sasuke to have the idea that we are our own people.

“…”

Sasuke was speechless.

That is to say, among Konoha, there is an equally powerful ‘inner ghost’.

“Tomorrow I will take you to Orochimaru. The next target for the country of ghosts to clean up is Orochimaru. If you can get this certificate at that time, you can quickly gain a certain status in the country of ghosts. Future promotions will also be very helpful. And I am responsible for your assessment and protecting your personal safety at Orochimaru.”

Kakashi did not ask whether Sasuke is willing to join the country of ghosts.

In fact, there is no need to ask.

Sasuke, who knows the truth, and Konoha have an irreparable gap.

Orochimaru is willing to take in Sasuke, not out of sincerity, but for another purpose.

Can accept Sasuke, and only the country of ghosts is left. There are his kinsmen there, and it is the only place in this world that can make him feel intimacy.

Homeless people and homeless people have completely different moods and ways of thinking when faced with difficulties.

Seeing that Sasuke was silent, he seemed to be thinking. Kakashi didn’t bother, and let him think quietly for a while, but it would be more effective.

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the stone chamber, followed by a knock on the door.

“Anyway, let’s eat something to fill our stomach first, the food delivery person is here.”

Kakashi said ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and went to open the door of the stone room.

A person walked in from the outside, carrying a pouch in his hand, and it could be seen that there were several hot lunch boxes inside.

“Kakashi, you are really good at making people, don’t say it’s unpalatable, I bought it according to the one-to-one match of meat and vegetables. I don’t want to go out for a run again.”

The person who came in handed Kakashi the pouch, scratching his head and complaining.

Obviously dissatisfied with Kakashi letting him run errands.

“You are……”

Sasuke raised his head and saw the food delivery person, his eyes widened in surprise.

This is an acquaintance.

“Hello, Sasuke-kun. What, just haven’t seen each other for more than half a year, have you completely forgotten about the teacher?”

When the visitor saw Sasuke’s stunned look, he immediately grinned, making people feel bad malice.

“Mizuki!?”
