Escape From Konoha - Vol 2 Chapter 143

After Shiraishi left the room, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became depressed.

However, this depressing atmosphere can’t make Yamazaka feel pressured. Rather, being in the same room with Shiraishi is far more stressful than facing Tsunade.

The reason for this is that Shiraishi is Konoha’s enemy, and Tsunade is Konoha’s ninja no matter what. Although he is very strong, he will not attack people in his village at will. Although sometimes there is a terrifying momentum, that momentum does not carry the slightest murderous aura.

He’s a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person. Yamanaka Feng judged so.

It is basically the same as the information collected by the root.

However, you can’t force the other side over and over again. After all, there is a limit to everyone’s endurance. If Tsunade is irritated, maybe another Sannin Jiraiya will end up like this Best testimony.

“Sir Tsunade, don’t you really believe what that man said?”

After confirming that Shiraishi had left this room, Yamanakakaze seemed to be cautiously testing.

“That kind of thing doesn’t matter. After all, it seems good to go to work in the country of ghosts.”

Tsunade glanced at Shan Zhongfeng, and fiddled with the teacup on the table, as if he was really thinking about the suggestion that Shiraishi just made.

“Are you serious?”

Shan Zhongfeng continued to ask.

He raised his head and stared at Tsunade’s face with a serious look.

“Yeah, at least you don’t have to clean up Konoha’s mess. Besides, after all, his medical ninjutsu was first learned from me, and I will get due respect as his teacher there. And treatment. On the other hand, on Konoha’s side, there is always intrigue. No matter who it is, they have actually made the right choice in their hearts.”

Tsunade glanced at Shan Zhongfeng with his head sideways, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“This is not like what Konoha Ninja should say. If you do this, you will only let the blood of the ancestors go in vain.”

“Anyway, it’s been in vain for so many years, and it’s not too bad. If it wasn’t for you, Konoha wouldn’t be like this. It’s only now that I remembered that I should go back to clean up the mess, and let me go back and clean up in the village. Is it rubbish?”

Speaking of this, Tsunade’s words undoubtedly carried a bit of a sharp breath, as if questioning.

“…”

Shan Zhongfeng was speechless.

“Danzo-sama’s actions sometimes go a little too far, but it is also a means to protect Konoha. Since the second generation of adults passed away, Konoha has been implementing the appeasement policy advocated by the third generation of adults… As a result, Konoha, who was the victor of the second and third ninja wars, not only did not get the benefits he deserved, but intensified pressure on the ninja villages of various countries. Even Sandyin, who is now an ally, used to be the same. If It’s not the rise of the country of ghosts, but Konoha is still isolated and helpless in the international arena. Tsunade-sama understands such an end, right?”

Although Yamazaka Kaze never participated in the Second Ninja World War, the Third Ninja World War was also missed because he was too young at the time and was still receiving education and training… But he had read the information and literature of the roots and knew that the The conservatives headed by the three generations of Hokage did not satisfy many Konoha ninjas with regard to the settlement of compensation in the later period of the war.

Obviously it is a victorious country, and it also has the power to fight multiple Ninja villages at the same time. As a result, not only did it fail to maintain its own advantages, but instead tolerated the enemy many times in order to seek stability. This also led to the intensified attacks on Konoha, even in the remaining villages that were the defeated side.

Tsunade sighed and said nothing.

“The reason why the martial arts faction has grown so far is because there are more and more Konoha ninjas who are dissatisfied with the appeasement policy implemented by the third generation in the late third ninja war. If the third generation is strong enough to the outside world, you can say it bluntly, In the face of the three generations of adults who hold the power of the two factions of conservative and martial arts, Danzo-sama will never have the confidence to stand in the sun. Danzo has come to this point, it is no longer his personal appeal, but the entire martial arts faction. His voice, the voice in the village is getting louder and louder, and it is the bitter fruit that the three generations of adults can’t suppress. Danzo-sama is not so much advancing by himself, but rather being pushed forward by the martial arts behind him.”

In this situation, even Danzo couldn’t help himself, he could only keep moving forward and couldn’t go back.

The current Konoha needs a strong leader of the martial arts faction to sweep away all the humiliation the village has suffered before.

“You mean, it’s all caused by Sarubi-sensei’s inaction?”

Tsunade narrowed his eyes.

“Although there are also very important external factors after the Third Ninja World War, those are not the main problems… If the internal can be unified quickly, then no matter how cunning outsiders are, they can’t penetrate the village so deeply. It’s just My personal humble opinion, please forgive Tsunade-sama. If Tsunade succeeds the five generations of Hokage, it will be enough to ensure the strength of the village to the outside world. The ninja of the root and martial arts faction is a weapon in the hands of Tsunade-sama, suppressing all disobedience. sound!”

Yamakaze took a deep breath, then lowered his head and apologized to Tsunade.

“This doesn’t look like something Danzo would do. It’s the work of his life for most of his life.”

“This is absolutely true, there is no falsehood!”

Shan Zhongfeng looked solemn.

“Forget it, I’m tired today, let’s talk about it another day. I’ll go out and try my luck first.”

Seemingly unable to bear such a serious atmosphere in the room, Tsunade stood up directly from the seat cushion, stretched out, and left the room under the watchful eye of Shan Zhongfeng.

◎

Inside a small room with no gaps, the roots are used as a temporary meeting point.

When Shan Zhongfeng came here, there were already several root ninjas waiting for his arrival.

“Feng, has Tsunade-sama promised to return to the village?”

A root ninja came out and asked Shan Zhongfeng.

Shan Zhongfeng shook his head and replied: “Not yet, but it can be seen that Tsunade-sama has a lot of things to do, and I may not be able to make a decision in a short time.”

This result was not unexpected, so it did not cause any backlash.

“Then why Chiba Shiroishi came to find Tsunade-sama…”

“In order to win over Tsunade-sama, invite her to join the country of ghosts.”

Mountain strokes are not concealed.

“Surely that’s the reason? It seems that the situation is worse than expected. Without the leadership of Hokage, the village can’t concentrate on fighting the country of ghosts.”

“Then, will Tsunade-sama betray?”

Another root ninja was worried.

It’s nothing more than that they are worried about this situation. There is already a precedent for Sanren’s defection, so it is not strange to defect another one.

“Although there is such a possibility, but her body is always flowing with the blood of the first generation of adults, it is impossible to cut off all cause and effect with Konoha.”

The mountain wind judged so.

“There’s always a precaution.”

“That kind of thing is not necessary, it will only make Tsunade-sama even more disgusted with returning to the village. We are already very annoying. Before the order from above, it is better not to do such unnecessary things, so as not to steal. Chickens can’t eat rice.”

Shan Zhongfeng shook his head and denied his companion’s suggestion.

“But it’s not the way to stay here all the time. How about drugging her? Take her back to the village while she’s unprepared.”

“…No, let’s not say that she has a high degree of vigilance against us. She is a medical expert when it comes to drug use. Even Sandyin’s poison master Chiyo, who has used various poisoning methods, has been attacked by her. Once it’s cracked, it’s not an easy task to drug her.”

Moreover, Shan Zhongfeng is very worried that if the medicine fails, he will unknowingly fall into Tsunade’s trap.

Since ancient times, medicine and poison have not been separated, and Tsunade, who has superb medical technology, is probably also very terrifying in the field of detoxification, preparation and use of poison. It’s just that these powerful abilities are overshadowed by her medical ninjutsu.

Seeing that everyone was silent, maybe he really couldn’t think of any feasible solution. Therefore, Shan Zhongfeng did not feel lost, but continued:

“The next task is to monitor Chiba Shiroishi, so that he does not do any damage in secret. Our first task is to protect the safety of Tsunade-sama. As for the task of bringing back Tsunade-sama, we should wait for the village. Let me tell you the next step.”

The rest of the root ninjas had no choice but to nod in agreement, this was their only way out at the moment.

Although I had also thought about how good it would be if the plan went smoothly, but unfortunately it didn’t work out, and now I have to make up for it in time.

But the people at the root know that this kind of consistent thinking can only be maintained at this time. Once the village is stabilized again, it will be a matter of time before the conflict between the martial arts faction headed by the root, and the three generations of conservative remnants in the village.

There is no end to the power struggle between the fighters and conservatives.

◎

the next day.

Taking the position of the main entrance of Konoha as the starting point, Jiraiya, who has left Konoha for four hours, is taking Naruto and the task of Konoha high-level officials on the road to find Tsunade.

It is said to be searching, but in fact, Tsunade’s position has already been locked, and it is located in the northern area of ​​the Iron Country. Then just go there and bring Tsunade back.

On the way to the Iron Country, Jirai also saw that Naruto was not in high spirits, and his face was full of reluctance, so he asked with a smile:

“What’s the matter, looking like someone owes you money? Or are you still confused by what I told you yesterday?”

“Of course! Kakashi-sensei defected with Sasuke, and Grandpa Hokage died…how can I believe it?”

Naruto shouted, but the loss in his eyes could not be concealed.

This incident dealt a heavy blow to him.

Good friends, respected teachers, and the three generations of Hokage who don’t know what complicated feelings he has about him, these people have left him one after another… It’s hard for Naruto to accept this fact.

It was as if the brain had been violently stirred with chopsticks, and there was a lot of paste inside, and I was at a loss.

“It’s really too early for you. But long pain is worse than short pain. These are top-secret news and haven’t been announced yet… However, since you have a close relationship with these parties, I don’t think it’s okay to hide it from you. What a good thing.”

Jirai also touched Naruto’s head as a sign of comfort.

For a long time, he was used to all kinds of hardships.

The death of a loved one is not his first experience.

It is also not the first time to be betrayed by a friend.

“The lecherous fairy…Aren’t you sad at all? Are you a disciple of Grandpa Hokage?”

Naruto lowered his head and asked.

He was crying secretly last night, and if he hadn’t been guarding him directly in the morning, he might have just sneaked out of the village and set foot on the road to find Kakashi and Sasuke.

Jiraiya held the generous palm that was placed on Naruto’s head, and still smiled and said, “Of course I’m sad, but I have experienced this kind of thing countless times, and the tears in my eyes and the tears in my heart have already flowed clean. So, I will no longer cry, no matter how painful and sad things are, it is what we living people should do to endure and inherit their legacy to survive.”

“I don’t know.”

“I hope you don’t understand too.”

Zilai also said meaningfully.

But in the world of ninjas, this is the truth that has to be understood.

When Naruto understands this, it will be time for him to mature.

Growing up is a long process of enduring grief.

This process is innate until death.

“Well, I’m not against you looking for Sasuke and Kakashi, but even if you find them, what can you do now? You can’t even beat Sasuke Uchiha, let alone Kakashi. Now Your only task is to become stronger. Also, let me reveal one more thing to you.”

Zilai also said mysteriously.

“what’s up?”

“The person we are going to look for this time is called Tsunade, and she is a peerless beauty.”

“Isn’t this the time to watch beautiful women? My interest isn’t this, it’s better to teach me stronger ninjutsu!”

Naruto stared at Jiraiya in dissatisfaction.

“Hmph, a kid is a kid and doesn’t understand the charm of women at all. She is a member of the Sannin just like me. Next, she will be the fifth Hokage of the village.”

Jiraiya also put his hands on his hips.

“I’m the same as you… That’s at least a fifty-year-old old woman, isn’t it? Great beauty… lecherous immortal, do you have such a strong taste?”

Naruto was astonished as if he had met Jiraiya for the first time.

“No, from the outside, she should be only in her twenties. In order to avoid debt, she sometimes turns into a teenager or younger to confuse others. It can be said that she is all about loli, girls, and adult women. Beautiful all in one.”

Naruto listened to Jiraiya’s straightforward analysis, and took a step back with a chill.

“……abnormal.”

“You who developed seduction techniques should not be qualified to speak to me. I heard that you were peeking at bad books when you were at the ninja school.”

Jiraiya also looked at Naruto with contempt.

Just when Naruto was about to refute, Jiraiya’s face suddenly became solemn, and he swept to the tall bushes beside him, his voice became cold:

“Who is it, come out for me!”

As he said that, he protected Naruto behind him, with murderous intent in his eyes.

“Eh? What happened?”

Naruto, who didn’t understand what happened, didn’t understand the current situation.

The bushes trembled, and four figures walked out of them.

The four were wearing Anbu costumes, and three of them wore masks that were more vivid and richer than the usual Anbu.

The leader did not wear a mask, but also wore a black half-face mask on his face, only showing his nostrils and mouth.

All over the body, only this part of the skin is exposed, and the rest of the body is covered by clothes.

“Please don’t let go of the murderous aura, Lord Jiraiya, I am the oily girl, and I am the captain of this team.”

Fetching raised his hands to signal that he was not hostile.

“Why are the root people here?”

Jiraiya frowned, although the murderous aura subsided, but the vigilance in his eyes did not disappear.

“We are a team sent by Danzo-sama to protect the safety of Naruto Uzumaki. This matter has also been approved by Mr. Shikaku.”

He took out a document and spread it out for Jiraiya to watch.

“Don’t, it’s not the first time you have forged documents. In the past, even Hokage’s documents dared to forge. The documents you have now are not at all convincing.”

Jirai was also polite and pointed at the root, with distrust clearly written on his face.

“…”

Take root silent, speechless.

This does seem to be a problem.

I didn’t expect that the usual excesses would be met with rhetorical questions here.

“Also, Naruto doesn’t need the protection of your roots, please go back. If you continue to follow, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”

Although Naruto is a drag on the oil bottle, Jiraiya is confident that he can suppress these four root ninjas.

“This can’t be done, Lord Jiraiya. We must ensure the personal safety of Ren Zhuli. In the case of Anbu’s shortage of manpower, this part of the work should be taken over by our roots. Moreover, the Iron Country is not a safe area, according to There was a message from there not long ago that there was a tricky guy there.”

Take the root said in a deep voice.

“Tricky guy?”

“Chiba Shiraishi!”

“what!?”

Jiraiya’s pupils shrank, and his face became horrified.

“That man, like us, is also looking for Tsunade-sama, and he is trying to be rude to Tsunade-sama.”

“Damn, how did it become like this?”

I thought it was a leisurely mission, but I didn’t expect such a thing to happen, and cold sweat broke out on Jiraiya’s face.

“That’s why we have to follow. The inside of the village is not stable, but the outside of the village is equally unstable. Even if you are one of the three ninjas to protect yourself, it may not be able to ensure the safety of Ren Zhuli.”

“hateful!”

Not wanting to listen to what Gen had said, Jiraiya grabbed Naruto’s shoulder, disappeared from the spot, and ran forward at the fastest speed.

“Now is not the time for a leisurely walk, come with me quickly, Naruto!”

“Wow ah ah ah, lustful fairy, what are you doing all of a sudden!”

Jiraiya was like a chick who was picked up, and Naruto didn’t realize the seriousness of the matter, so he was dragged away by Jiraiya.

Fetchen and the others looked at each other and followed.

◎

Although it was only November, the sky above the Iron Country had already fallen heavily with goose feathers.

In this extremely cold permafrost town, Shiraishi is staying in one of the hostels.

The sky outside had dimmed, and it was already night.

When the white snowflakes fell, their shadows could be vaguely seen on the window paper.

The night in the Iron Country is more severe than the daytime. Shiraishi, who came to attend the Five Shadows Conference in the past, naturally understands this.

And because there was no special reason to go out at this time, Shiraishi just sat in the room, under the protection of the warm fireplace, took out a notebook and wrote words on the paper with a signature pen.

When writing words, Shiraishi will also inadvertently make thinking actions.

A while ago, because of the gift left by Indra, Shiraishi has been studying the materials left by Indra during this period, after dealing with the government affairs at hand, so as to further understand the existence of seal and art. idea.

Although it is the foundation, today’s various ninjutsu, except for the blood and the limit, including any known secret techniques, have evolved based on this foundation.

Without this foundation, ninjutsu and esoteric art are just unrealistic castles in the sky.

The ancestors of the ninja were also inspired by it and created various techniques.

Because of pure chakra, it is difficult for ordinary people to control and release it finely. Only by balancing it with the way of printing and art can it be more convenient to use chakra.

The most important thing is that Shiraishi found the possibility of living in Chakra with consciousness in order to achieve immortality.

Although this feasibility is still very slim, the conditions of demand are also very harsh.

Even Indra, in the endless years, keeps losing his chakra, and sooner or later will usher in the true end of his life.

“Even if you think so, this is almost impossible for humans to do. You must borrow other media. Like Orochimaru?”

Chakra has a time-limiting nature. Any kind of ninjutsu cannot be preserved forever, and will be wiped out by the power of time.

Even the seemingly stable sealing technique is the same, but the timeliness of the sealing technique is very slow, and it may be difficult to feel it in a few years or decades.

If someone continues to supply chakra in the middle of the process, then the sealing technique can indeed last forever in theory.

But that’s just theory.

“In short, let’s start with the soul level that I am best at. Maybe I can make my spiritualization technique go further and derive other things…”

His energy is limited, instead of developing a completely unknown field, it is better to develop further in the existing field.

His spiritualization technique has long since been separated from Konoha’s original spiritualization technique. Although it maintains the same name, its essence has already changed.

Incorporating yin and yang, and even adding the power of yin and yang, now, you can also try to incorporate Indra’s concept of seals and techniques.

If you’re lucky, you might be able to make a trump card.

Just as Shiraishi was writing the thoughts in his mind, footsteps appeared outside the door, and someone was standing outside.

“Is it the Wandering Witch?”

Shiraishi raised his head and asked the person outside the door.

“Yes, Shiroishi-sama.”

There was a sound of pushing the door, and a figure knelt on one knee on the floor of the corridor outside.

He is about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a handsome face, with beautiful long black hair on both sides, with white butterfly hairbands on both sides, wearing a red and white witch costume, his face is cold, giving a sense of holiness that is difficult to approach.

Judging from her age, she graduated from the ninja school in the land of ghosts less than two years ago. She is obviously a novice among the wandering witches~www.mtlnovel.com~ It is estimated that she will not be dispatched to work in the country of iron for a long time.

But the Wandering Miko is not a witch in essence, but a ninja in the skin of a witch.

They are good at medical and espionage work, and because of the danger of their work, they also have a good fighting ability.

It is not an exaggeration to call it an elite unit of the Oni Land Military.

In addition, the country of ghosts has been updating and iterating on weapons over the years. It is estimated that this young witch is carrying a large number of weapons that can kill people.

“Tell me, it’s so late, what’s the report?”

Shiraishi put down the pen in his hand and closed the notebook.

The Wandering Miko kept her head bowed in a respectful attitude, because of the quiet atmosphere in the room, her voice became extraordinarily clear:

“According to the report of another wandering witch on the southern border of the Iron Country, Jirai, one of the Konoha Sannin, also brought the Nine-Tailed Man Zhuli into the Iron Country’s border half an hour ago.”
