Escape From Konoha - Vol 2 Chapter 140
The man who appeared in front of Sasuke was Mizuki who was rated as an excellent elite teacher in the ninja school in the past.
He is especially good at teaching students how to use shuriken and kunai. With his handsome appearance and gentle attitude, he can always listen to the students’ complaints with the most patient attitude. Therefore, he is completely different from the strict Iruka. , he is more popular with students.
The premise is that he does not become a traitor.
Everything in the past is a disguise, so the nature of this person deserves to be questioned a little.
A defected ninja who was judged by Konoha to be dangerous, Sasuke once thought that the other party had already been captured by Konoha’s chasing troops, and put him in the Konoha severe punishment room for transformation… Suddenly, this guy and Kakashi were seen. There is also an unspeakable connection between them.
Thinking of this, the corners of Sasuke’s mouth twitched. Could this guy also be a spy planted in Konoha by the land of ghosts?
“Don’t be so vigilant, I came to meet you on purpose.”
For the vigilance in Sasuke’s eyes, Mizuki smiled indifferently.
Sasuke snorted and said nothing.
Kakashi said: “Indeed, this guy doesn’t need to pay attention.”
“You really like sarcasm.” Mizuki snorted, then leaned against the wall and asked, “So, when are you going to set off next? The borders of the country of fire have been blocked. It seems that the Uchiha clan’s Orphans are still very important to those high-level executives.”
Kakashi handed Sasuke the lunch in his hand, and then said to Mizuki: “In order not to have too many dreams at night, I will leave early tomorrow morning. Is there any problem on your side?”
“Of course not, but when it comes to Orochimaru, this kid’s life may not be easy. Besides, Orochimaru is also one of the three ninjas, can this kid really handle him? If the mission fails, my reward can be no more.”
Mizuki looked at Sasuke suspiciously.
Whether Sasuke lives or dies, whether the mission fails or succeeds, has nothing to do with him.
But if Sasuke caused him to lose an important job, he would have nowhere to cry.
After finally getting to where he is today, he doesn’t want to give up all his efforts and start all over again.
Sasuke was about to speak, when Kakashi held Sasuke down and said in his place: “No problem, Sasuke’s ability, as his guide, I am sure.”
“If that’s the case, even if I fail, I don’t want to take any responsibility. When I fail, remember to leave me alone. Of course, if you succeed in killing Orochimaru, just mention my name a little bit, I won’t ask for much.”
“It’s really like your style of doing things.”
“I’m not like you, I’m a family man.”
“…”
Kakashi choked.
Suddenly I feel that this guy Mizuki has also become disgusting.
“Then you can continue to rest here, I went out to watch the wind.”
After that, Shuimu pushed open the door and walked out of the stone room.
“This guy looks like he’s not alone in the ninja school.”
Sasuke said suddenly.
He vaguely remembered that Mizuki in the ninja school was not such a utilitarian teacher.
Or, after leaving Konoha, he doesn’t need to hide and restore his original nature?
“Don’t pay attention to what he said, he probably came over to complain because he was bored at work. But he was right. It’s very dangerous in Orochimaru. If you want to retreat, I can arrange for you to go to the land of ghosts. , where you can steadily become stronger and not be threatened by anyone. But when you cross the national border tomorrow, you can only choose the route of Orochimaru, which will be full of murderous intentions and threats.”
Kakashi glanced at Sasuke, ready to give Sasuke a chance to make a final choice.
“No, there is danger, and there is a strong motivation. Putting me in a comfortable environment may not be a good thing.”
Hearing Sasuke’s answer, Kakashi continued:
“If that’s the case, then I’ll tell you how to get along with him when I see Orochimaru.”
◎
“Too reckless.”
In the Konoha Hospital, in the ward, Shikaku taught Shikamaru, who was lying on the bed, in a stern tone.
“I originally planned to report to you, but was stopped by Anbu and could not enter.”
Shikamaru, who had woken up, still quietly defended his actions.
“Even so, it shouldn’t be so risky, and it’s still pulling a group of people into a place like the root.”
“The situation was urgent, so I could only arrange it that way. As for the superior’s order, didn’t I ask Ino to come back?”
Lu Jiu stared at Shikamaru for a while, and finally sighed and said nothing.
“As for your departure, we will talk about it after you are healed.”
“Then Sasuke’s side…”
“I haven’t found it yet, and it should be hiding somewhere in the country of fire. But there is little hope of finding him next. Moreover, behind the whole thing, it is not as simple as you think. This incident, someone is behind it. .”
Kakashi had a solemn expression on his face.
Compared with Shikamaru, he collected more clues on his side. Knowing that Sasuke escaped, someone was secretly making trouble.
It can be said that Shikamaru’s group is also the object of being used by others.
“I know, just accept the punishment. I will reflect on my mistake this time.”
Shikamaru did not argue any further, and calmly accepted the decision of the superior.
“Accepting and changing is meaningful. Simple repentance is worthless. In such a situation of incomplete information, still chasing the enemy deeply, if this is on the battlefield, all of you have been killed, rather than lying here accepting treat.”
Probably thinking that the preaching is almost too low, Lu Jiu ended the topic, continued to look at Shikamaru, and asked:
“When you entered the base, you probably didn’t steal anything, did you?”
Lu Jiu’s expression became very serious and serious, and the color in his pupils also became cold and scary, implying a warning.
Although Shikamaru tried his best to maintain his expression, his appearance made Shikahisa even more suspicious.
“Take things out, don’t think about putting them in your hands, and do unnecessary things.”
Hearing what Lujiu said, Shikamaru had to take out a scroll in his arms and hand it to Lujiu.
Lu Jiu took the scroll, opened it, and glanced at it casually. From beginning to end, his expression did not change.
As if determining something.
Finally, he rolled up the scroll, looked up at Shikamaru and asked, “Have you seen the above? Or… have you seen it for the rest?”
He wants to make sure of that.
If only Shikamaru saw it, it wouldn’t be a big problem. But if it is seen by other people, it is bound to cause some trouble.
“Don’t worry, I haven’t had time to watch it, and I’ve never shown it to others.”
Shikamaru answered honestly.
“Better so.”
“And even without looking, I can guess what’s written on it.”
Shimura Danzo, the leader of the root, has a writing wheel.
Dozens of corpses of Uchiha clan ninjas were not buried, but were concentrated in the dark bases, and without exception, they were dug out of the writing wheel.
In addition, Sasuke made the decision to leave the village after reading this scroll, which is enough for Shikamaru to think of a lot of content.
Therefore, even if the scroll was not opened to read, Shikamaru knew roughly what was written on it.
“…There is no need to intervene in this kind of thing.”
Shikaku was silent for a moment, then said to Shikamaru.
The Konoha Uchiha family has disappeared into the dust of history, and even the last orphans have made the choice to leave Konoha, and it is meaningless to continue to be held accountable.
The most important thing right now is to rebuild Konoha.
Sasuke Uchiha, for him, is just a more troublesome episode.
Compared to the mess left by Danzo and the third Hokage, this is nothing, and it can’t be rotten any more.
“…Sasuke, he will come back for revenge sooner or later.”
When Shikuku lifted his foot and left, Shikamaru’s voice came from behind firmly, as if he saw that future.
Lu Jiu paused, sighed, and left the ward without saying a word.
◎
Naruto Building.
In a small meeting room on a certain floor.
“I can’t believe that this long-held secret file is still known to the Uchiha family. This time things will become very difficult.”
When Shikajiu held the scroll he got from Shikamaru and spread it out for the two senior advisors of Konoha to watch, the two advisors frowned suddenly.
At the same time, they also understood why Sasuke suddenly made the decision to leave Konoha.
“The root ninja in that stronghold has been cleaned up in advance. It is obvious that someone is inducing Sasuke Uchiha. Do you have any good suspects?”
Lukisa asked, staring into the eyes of the two advisors.
After Mito Menyan and Chuan Koharu looked at each other, they both shook their heads. They couldn’t guess who had deliberately sent Sasuke to the base of the base and obtained the sealed intelligence files from there.
“Is that so? It seems that there is one more trouble to deal with. However, Sasuke Uchiha’s departure has become a fact, and it is too late to recover. I would like to ask whether Uchiha Itachi will still stand in the village. this side?”
Lu Jiu weighed the scroll in his hand and looked directly at the two of them.
Konoha now has enough enemies now, the land of ghosts, Orochimaru, if there is one more Uchiha Itachi, Shikajiu just thinks about it and feels that his head is big.
And what makes Lu Jiu think nonsense the most is that these enemies were once Konoha ninjas and were cultivated by Konoha.
Lu Jiu wanted to complain, but he didn’t know where to start.
Before Sasuke leaves, Konoha can restrain Itachi’s actions and positions in the name of protecting Sasuke.
But now that Sasuke has left Konoha, there is a question mark on whether Itachi will still abide by the ‘agreement’ with Konoha.
Lu Jiu was not involved in Uchiha’s genocide, so he couldn’t know some of the details.
So you can only ask the parties for evidence.
“This… To be honest, we are not particularly aware of this aspect. The channel to communicate with Itachi has always been in the hands of Hizen and Danzo. Now that Hizen has passed away, the only one who knows how to contact Itachi People, there is only Tuanzang.”
After hesitating for a while, Mitomon Yan replied.
Only a very few people know that Uchiha Itachi is a Konoha spy.
Lu Jiu also confirmed this after reading the root file.
Before that, he was also one of the members who was kept in the dark.
After all, the real inside story of the Uchiha clan’s genocide is the product of a failed political struggle, and the immediate bitter result is that Konoha’s military power began to decline rapidly.
There is right and wrong in it, and Lu Jiu doesn’t want to be involved at all.
“Elder Danzo? I know, I will go and explain to him later. In addition, there is the most important point, I want to know more things.”
Kakashi’s eyes lit up.
“More things?”
“Yes, when the third generation of adults was in power, what else did I do that I don’t know… I want to know all the details here.”
To be honest, Lu Jiu really had no sense of security for Konoha at this time.
First, Danzo conspired to ascend to the throne, then Hokage was forced to commit suicide, the Minister of Anbu was a spy, and then the Uchiha family broke out an amazing inside story. Lu Jiu was deeply afraid that another bomb would hit him, and he was devastated and caught off guard.
For this reason, he must know more about the inside story in the village that he didn’t know before, and when things break out, he can take preventive measures in advance, so as not to let the village be tossed to death again.
There have been countless ninjas complaining about these days. Many ninjas lost their jobs and the quest delegation system was directly paralyzed. Many clients were dissatisfied with Konoha, and the number of quest delegations in other villages increased by 20% on average, earning a large amount of money. Amount of development funds.
And these, originally belonged to Konoha.
It is estimated that these Ninja villages are all in their hearts at this moment, and they can’t help but feel grateful to Konoha.
And this kind of gratitude, Lu Jiu would rather not.
“This…it’s not necessary. Anyway, everything has passed, and it has been so long. If we go to investigate now…”
There was a lot of cold sweat on the faces of Koharu and Mito Kadoka when they went to bed.
“Then, when things happen again, will the two elders be able to take on their responsibilities as advisors?”
Lu Jiu looked at the two of them sharply, and questioned the exit rudely.
Obviously, Lu Jiu did not believe in the ability of these two to act.
If they really have the responsibility of consultants, Konoha will not be like this, and he will be suffocated by a mere Orochimaru.
This kind of remark made the two advisors go silent.
They also knew that they could not take such responsibility.
However, as Konoha’s advisor, he still felt a little embarrassed and angry when he was pressed by Lu Jiu’s junior like this.
So, the scene stiffened for a while.
◎
The next day, nine in the morning.
Kakashi, Sasuke, and Mizuki, who avoided the sight of the Konoha garrison on the border of the Fire Country, successfully crossed the line of defense and entered the territory of the Country of Field.
This is a typical small country.
Surrounded by land on three sides, only the north faces the sea.
Focusing on the development of forestry and agriculture, the national name is known to be a greedy name in the world. According to Kakashi, the Yin Nin Village of Orochimaru was successfully established after bribing Tian Zhi Guo Da Ming with a lot of money. .
But in essence, Yinin Village does not serve the aristocratic group of Tian Zhiguo, but only serves Orochimaru alone.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to regard the ninjas of Yinin Village as private soldiers trained by Orochimaru.
The resident of Yinin Village is located in the north of Tianzhiguo, near the sea. Mostly due to the abnormal weather in the country of iron, the climate of the country of Tian is much colder than that of the country of fire.
At about three o’clock in the afternoon, Sasuke followed Kakashi and Mizuki to the resident of Yinin Village.
Unlike Konoha’s crowded Ninja village, the first feeling of Yin Ninja Village is depression and dullness.
The scale of the village is not large. There are no civilians or shops here, and there are ninjas with cold eyes and malicious intent everywhere.
These ninjas uniformly wear the forehead guards of Yinin Village. The youngest are about eleven years old, and the oldest are forty or fifty years old.
Some of them, after seeing Sasuke, clearly showed a chilling murderous look in their eyes, and silently walked around behind Sasuke, trying to kill Sasuke.
Jealousy, greed, hatred, these people make no secret of their hostility towards Sasuke.
Just when some of them couldn’t help but want to do it, a cold voice came:
“You **** have nothing to do? Don’t embarrass me here!”
Appearing in front of Sasuke and the others was a boy with six arms.
The skin is slightly darker, and in terms of age, he looks two to three years older than Sasuke.
He exudes an aura that is different from ordinary ninjas.
On the back of his neck, there is the same curse mark as Sasuke.
As soon as he came, he sternly stopped these voices from overbearing behavior.
I can’t even see the basic difference between the enemy and me, thinking that in the future, I will continue to practice this group of useless soldiers.
At least play the role of cannon fodder.
“But, Lord Kitomaru…”
“Didn’t you hear what I said?”
The boy named Guidoumaru, with a terrifying murderous look in his eyes, stared at the talking voice like a dead man.
He was clearly in his twenties, but being stared at by Guitong Maru, his face suddenly turned pale, and he didn’t dare to breathe.
Although the rest of the people were unwilling, they had to temporarily restrain their hostility towards Sasuke because of Guitong Maru’s strength and his status as Orochimaru’s personal bodyguard, but in their eyes, it seemed that they were still saying ‘this matter is not over yet’. kind of words.
In their opinion, a kid who just arrived, can directly gain the respect of the Lord Orochimaru they admire, which makes it difficult for them to accept.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Sasuke, Mr. Kakashi, these guys have caused you trouble.”
In the face of the weak, Kidomaru naturally didn’t care, but he was very respectful to Sasuke and Kakashi.
As for Mizuki, he was ignored.
“Don’t talk nonsense, show me the way now.”
Sasuke said impatiently.
According to Kakashi, the more arrogant you speak, the worse your tone will make Orochimaru happy.
“certainly.”
Kitomaru didn’t care about the dissatisfaction in Sasuke’s tone, but just nodded with a smile, seemed very patient, and led the way.
“Shui Mu, you can leave now.”
Halfway down the road, Kitomaru suddenly said to Mizuki who was following him.
Mizuki shrugged his shoulders slightly and turned away indifferently.
He didn’t want to see the slimy and gloomy man in Orochimaru.
As if afraid of Sasuke’s misunderstanding, Kidoumaru said: “Otonin Village follows the rule that the weak eat the strong, and the strong have absolute dominance over the weak. A guy like Mizuki is simply not enough to be in the core, he is to Sasuke-sama. ,like water off a duck’s back.”
“Meaning, are you useful to me?”
Sasuke sneered.
“Of course, as the four of us, we are not only the most trusted guards of Orochimaru-sama, but we have also developed the curse seal to the level of state two. Even if we face two full-fired Shangin at the same time, can also be resolved.”
Kitomaru said in a proud tone.
“…”
Sasuke was speechless.
In other words, the so-called sound and ninja group of four, the combined strength is about stronger than two johnin, but when facing three or even four johnin, the outcome is unknown.
To be honest, the strength of the trusted guards around Orochimaru… Sasuke did not expect to be so weak.
Even so, they are among the best ninjas in the Oninin Village, which can be seen from the attitude of the surrounding Oninin towards Kitomaru.
Thinking that Yinin Village is just a small place, Sasuke feels that he can’t be too demanding of this village.
He somewhat regretted not choosing to go to the land of ghosts.
In such a place, can you really make yourself stronger quickly?
Isn’t Kakashi fooling him?
After all, this is not the first time Kakashi has done this, and there are many previous convictions.
“Then, take me to see Orochimaru. I heard from Kakashi that I came here on purpose to gain more power. If it doesn’t satisfy me, I don’t want to stay.”
“Yes, but this can’t be done. Lord Orochimaru is temporarily out of the village, not in the village. I’ve been exhausted, you two should rest here today, I’ll let someone prepare dinner. Meeting with Lord Orochimaru, tomorrow How about that?”
Kidoumaru asked with a smile.
“Hmph, then wait for him for a day.”
“I’m so grateful, Sasuke-sama.”
Kitomaru smiled and led the way ahead. In this way, he was initially in contact with Sasuke, and he moved faster than the other three of the group of four.
His position in Yinin Village will be even more unbreakable.

Ghost country.
Compared with the hustle and bustle of the outside world, here is a leisurely afternoon tea time.
“Three generations committed suicide, Danzo lost power, and now Konoha is only relying on Shangnin squad leader Nara Shikahisa, and two advisors to maintain. Tsk tsk, that’s really pitiful. It’s a pity that I didn’t witness the tragedy of Konoha with my own eyes.”
Ayane, who was sitting on the sofa opposite Shiraishi, had a look of sadness and pity on her face, but her tone revealed a kind of schadenfreude.
“It’s Orochimaru who should be thanked. If it wasn’t for him, we would probably have done it ourselves. We’re so lucky to be able to remove it from it now.”
Shiraishi laughed.
Konoha’s ending like this, from his standpoint, is indeed a happy thing.
No one would have thought that the internal contradictions of Konoha would be stimulated to such an extent.
If the three generations of Hokage are strong enough to weaken the strength of the roots, no matter how much they stimulate conflicts on their side, it will be difficult to disintegrate Konoha’s morale from the inside.
How long will it take Konoha to recover from this situation?
This kind of thorny problem, let Konoha handle it by himself.
“What, what’s on your mind, Liuli?”
At this time, seeing Liuli standing by the window, who was taciturn, Shiraishi asked.
“No, I can’t say it’s a concern. I just feel a little regretful that I didn’t solve the third generation myself. In his capacity, dying on the battlefield is the destination.”
Liuli turned around and responded to Shiraishi.
“Sure enough, it’s your style. Compared with this method, you prefer to fight with real swords and guns.”
“Well, because I want to try the level of Doctor Ninjutsu~www.mtlnovel.com~ Ruri did not deny this.
“It’s still in the preparatory stage, and it’s not appropriate to make a big fight for the time being. But before the plan starts, there should be a chance for you to make a scene.”
It seemed that he also felt that he owed Liuli, so Shiraishi had to acquiesce.
“Oh?”
Liuli raised her eyebrows and looked at Shiraishi.
Shiraishi didn’t answer, but stood up from the sofa and stretched.
“Okay, I’ve finished the afternoon tea. Next, I’m going to go out. Just in case, I’ll take the three clones of Shadow Dancer, Innocent and Fire Elf with me. For the affairs of the headquarters, please temporarily. You guys help me deal with it.”
“Shouldn’t we follow?”
“No, for things like road exploration, the fewer people the better. What’s more, I’m fully prepared.”
Under the gaze of the two, Shiraishi stepped forward and left the room.
