Escape From Konoha - Vol 2 Chapter 144

Iron country.

The goose feather snow falling from the sky obstructed the vision in front of him.

The ferocious north wind slashed like a blade, blowing on people’s faces, as if their flesh was torn apart.

The road is rough in a forest covered in cold snow and ice.

Naruto shrank his body and shivered, and the nose water that slipped back was also cold, so he rubbed his nose until the tip of his nose turned red, but he still couldn’t feel the slightest warmth.

Although the weather in the country of fire is also starting to cool down, it is still only autumn in the end.

However, entering the territory of the Iron Country, it directly changed from autumn to extremely cold winter climate. This extremely different environment made it difficult for Naruto to adapt to it.

He never imagined that the place where Zilai also brought him would be such a bad weather.

It’s only November, and the weather is like a cold winter. In December, the cold wave will come further, and I’m afraid it will be even colder here.

“Hey, lecherous fairy, haven’t you reached your destination yet? It’s too cold here, isn’t it?”

Naruto rubbed his arms back and forth, trying to bring a touch of warmth to himself.

Because when he came, he only wore a coat outside and a thin shirt inside. In such a bad environment, he would indeed feel uncomfortable with the air-conditioning here.

“Naruto, your body is too delicate. As a ninja, you can’t go on like this.”

Jirai also looked at Naruto’s pale face, stopped and said helplessly.

Compared with Naruto, the clothes on his body are lighter, but his body is warm, and the cold wind here hardly has any negative impact on him.

“I don’t want to, but it’s really cold here. Let’s find a place to rest.”

Naruto suggested.

As he spoke, his snot sounded again.

“Control your chakra well enough to keep out the cold.”

Said also.

“It’s too much, knowing that I’m not good at controlling Chakra…”

“So, this kind of exercise makes sense.”

Jirai ignored Naruto’s resentful expression and smiled.

Just when Jiraiya planned to continue walking with Naruto, four figures came over from one side.

It was Togen and others who followed Jiraiya and Naruto.

Because of their identity as roots, they were met with hostility and vigilance by Jiraiya along the way, but fortunately, the two sides did not have any conflict during the journey, but maintained a delicate atmosphere.

Along the way, they kept a distance of fifteen to twenty meters from Jiraiya and Naruto, and now they suddenly stepped forward, obviously there was something to discuss.

“Lord Jiraiya, the temperature in the Iron Country at night is much lower than in the daytime, and these winds and snows also seriously obstruct the view. It’s better to find a place to rest for the night as soon as possible.”

Take the root proposal.

“There’s no time to linger here now. What if Tsunade had an accident?”

“Even so, I suggest to stop for a while to repair.” Togene glanced at Naruto, then swept into the depths of the snow-covered forest, then turned his head, set his eyes on Jiraiya, and said: ” Also, someone was following us all the way.”

“Ok?”

“It’s the wandering witch in the land of ghosts, and our whereabouts have been exposed.”

Take the root said.

Zilai also glanced at the depths of the forest, where it was shrouded in darkness, like a black hole, spitting out a cold gust of wind.

“It’s really haunted. The eyes of these wandering witches are too sharp.”

Zilai also clenched his fists and tapped lightly on the forehead, quite distressed.

“This is something that can’t be helped. Even if we travel all night, we won’t be able to reach the northern part of the Iron Country for a while. Tsunade-sama’s side is protected by our people, so there will be no danger for the time being… and Iron The northern part of the country will be even colder, so it’s better to prepare more clothes to keep out the cold on the road.”

“Okay, then go to the nearest town to rest overnight, and then leave tomorrow morning.”

Hearing that Jirai also agreed, Togen let out a sigh of relief, and then looked at the three companions behind him.

The three root ninjas understood and left the place with a teleportation technique to find the nearest town and stay for one night.

◎

In a daze, Tsunade felt someone shaking his body lightly.

So, there was a dissatisfied humming in his mouth, and he ignored the person who came.

Yesterday, she gambled until late at night, and when she returned to the hotel to rest, she was exhausted and fell asleep directly. Even now, the image of the dice is still rolling in her mind.

“Lord Tsunade, Lord Tsunade, please wake up, it’s already dawn!”

The shaking motion is bigger.

Tsunade opened his eyes, impatiently lifted his upper body lying on the table, and looked at the person coming.

I was about to scold the other party, but when I saw the appearance of the person who came, I was suddenly surprised.

“It’s mute, what, did the root guy let you out?”

Tsunade yawned and rubbed his eyes.

It was just dawn outside, and it was still early morning.

“Yeah, those guys let me out.”

Holding his pet dolphin in Mute’s arms, he said helplessly to Tsunade.

“More than that, it seems to have gotten a little fatter… Those guys seem to have raised you well.”

Tsunade glanced at Mute’s face carefully, and suddenly pinched his chin, making fun of him.

“Please don’t make fun of me, Tsunade-sama. Not to mention that I’m not fat at all, and the people of Genji imprisoned me, no matter how you look at it, it’s not a good thing. Those guys are really annoying!”

Mute gritted her teeth bitterly, and a deep resentment flashed in her eyes.

Thinking of the fact that she has been confined to a small space for the past month, even though she has not abused her in terms of food and accommodation, her behavior of imprisoning her can still be described as excessive.

Thinking back to this day, I still feel very angry.

“Well, the roots of Danzo’s leadership have always been this way, just get used to it.”

“I don’t want to get used to this kind of thing at all! In other words, they suddenly let me back now, shouldn’t it be Master Tsunade, what conditions did you promise them?”

Mute stared at Tsunade’s face, suddenly worried.

Although Tsunade did this, she was indeed moved, but the ninja at the root had always eaten people and never spit out bones, so she didn’t want Tsunade to do it for herself, so she would take herself up.

In the world of ninjas, it is not uncommon to use hostages to threaten compromise. It is Konoha’s Jōnin who is mute well. He has been a ninja for so many years, and he is already ready to sacrifice at any time.

“That’s not true.” Tsunade waved his hand and stretched his waist, but still said with a dazed expression: “After all, I’m not stupid, this kind of thing has been compromised for the first time, and there will definitely be a second time. Before you came back, I had been dealing with them… The reason why they let you back now is not because I promised them any conditions, but because a major accident happened in the village, and the people at the root had to do it. What, that The kid in the mountain family, didn’t you explain it to you?”

“No.”

“Is that so, then I’ll tell you in detail after I wake up.”

After speaking, Tsunade’s upper body lay directly on the table in front of him, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

“Wait, Tsunade-sama—”

I wanted to stop Tsunade, but seeing that Tsunade fell asleep so quickly with a tired look on his face, he was silent and hesitant to say anything.

He finally sighed and had to let Tsunade fall asleep again.

“Forget it, Tsunade-sama has been worried about my safety these days and is already very tired. Let her rest.”

Mute tried to convince herself that way.

The time soon came to noon, and Tsunade woke up hungry.

He wiped the corners of his mouth and started to shout, “Mute, mute!”

As if on call, there were hurried footsteps outside the house immediately, and then the door was opened, and silence appeared at the door.

“What’s the matter, Tsunade-sama?”

“what time is it now?”

“Well…it’s almost twelve noon.”

“Uh, have I slept that long? I’m just hungry, let’s go out to eat. Have you eaten yet?”

“not yet.”

“Then let’s go together.”

Tsunade stood up from the floor and scratched the back of his head, which made the messy hair even more messy, and many of them started to curl up, making them look extremely sloppy.

Around the eyes, there are even serious dark circles. It is estimated that these days, I must have stayed up late until very late.

“You are too decadent.”

Silent couldn’t help saying.

“It’s not because I’m worried about you, so I haven’t slept well for a while.”

“Yes Yes.”

Knowing that Tsunade became so depressed and decadent, a large part of the reason came from himself, and Mute had to be soft on Tsunade, and did not blame Tsunade for his image problem.

The two walked out of the hotel and came to a pub not far from the hotel. The weather outside has improved a lot, and the gray sky is falling with light white snow.

Before the waiter served the meal, Tsunade also briefly explained the current situation to Mute, so that Mute could have a general understanding of the current situation.

After listening to the silence of the whole thing, he sat in his seat in amazement, stunned, and it took a long time to recover from his absence.

However, because the process of the whole thing was too complicated and shocking, shock flashed from time to time in Mute’s eyes.

She never imagined that such a big thing would happen to Konoha while she was being held by the people at the root. However, whether it was the fall of Danzo, or the death of the third Hokage…everything is enough for people to do it. A moving event. Now that they broke out together inside Konoha, it is conceivable that Konoha’s situation is now.

“I see. I didn’t expect so many things to happen when I was detained. That Danzo, I didn’t expect…”

“This is entirely his own fault. The superior means are not clean, and there are too many handles and black materials left behind. His downfall can be said to be brewed by himself.”

“Then what are you going to do next, Tsunade-sama? Are you going to follow the village’s arrangement and go back to take over the position of the Five Hokage, or are you going to the land of ghosts and accept the invitation from the other side?”

Mute pretended to be calm and asked, as if she was simply taking the lead in Tsunade.

“You’re still really bad at lying, mute. You’re worried that I’ll surrender to the land of ghosts, right?”

Tsunade saw through Mute’s little thought at a glance.

“No, I’m just thinking about Tsunade-sama.”

“Your facial expression muscles are too stiff.”

Mute lowered her head like a mistake.

“Forget it, it’s dinner time, so don’t discuss these unhappy topics.”

It seems that Tsunade is not in the mood to discuss with her anymore because Mute’s interest is not high.

Soon, the service staff delivered the meal to the table, and the two at the table ended their communication, only the sound of eating came.

Compared to Tsunade, who was feasting over there, Mute looked preoccupied.

As a Konoha ninja, she never thought about betraying the village.

But from Tsunade’s words just now, she could hear a different taste.

If Tsunade-sama betrayed the village, what should I do then? Silent was flustered.

Even as Joinin, she doesn’t know how to deal with such a thing.

And at this moment, a hurried voice came here:

“Tsunade!”

Hearing this familiar voice, Tsunade raised his head subconsciously and glanced in one direction.

“Jilai also?”

There was surprise in his tone.

Immediately, Tsunade’s expression returned to calm.

This is a matter of course, in order to allow her to safely return to Konoha as the fifth Hokage, it is much more reliable to have Jiraiya come to run errands.

Although in Tsunade’s view, Jiraiya is also a person who is often out of tune.

“Finally I find you.”

As Jiraiya spoke, he walked towards Tsunade and the silent dining table with Naruto, who was looking at Tsunade suspiciously.

The two came to the table, and Mute took the initiative to move to one side, allowing Jiraiya and Naruto to sit opposite Tsunade, making it easier to communicate with Tsunade.

“What do you mean by the end? You’re running towards me, right? Besides, when did you start to get into trouble with the root people?”

Tsunade sneered.

His eyes swept to the corner of the izakaya inadvertently, where two people were dining there.

One of them wore a mask on his face, revealing only his mouth and nostrils. This person Tsunade did not know, but the other, Tsunade, did. It was Yamanaka Feng.

Obviously, the Konoha ninja who can communicate so harmoniously with Yamanakaka is naturally a ninja who belongs to the root.

“This is a non-existent matter. These guys followed up with shameless shame. I didn’t ask them to come together.”

Jiraiya also refuted Tsunade’s words.

“So, are you here to let me go back?”

Tsunade tapped lightly on the table with the chopsticks in his hand, and his eyes fell on Jiraiya’s face.

Jirai didn’t feel embarrassed either, nodded and said, “Yes, the village has already decided that you are the fifth Hokage. If there is nothing else, let’s get out of here as soon as possible. Now there are no dragons in the village, which is just right for her to show off her skills. .”

“You’re not ashamed at all for speaking so confidently about doing chores.”

Tsunade was a little speechless.

“Well, the current situation of the village, I think you also learned from the people of the root, there is indeed a little trouble in the situation.”

“Is it really just a little trouble?”

“How do you say that, I admit that it is a little more serious. However, if you are the Hokage, you can easily handle these things. Besides, this time, there is no root block that you have always hated.”

Jiraiya also coughed, not daring to meet Tsunade’s eyes, pretending to be calm and pouring himself a glass of wine to warm up.

“Even if Danzo falls, that old man is not so easy to deal with. Rather, he is the most unstable bomb in the village now. Even if he stays in prison, he is just as dangerous.”

Tsunade smiled coldly.

Let the people from the root come to win over him, even at the expense of revealing the intention of the root to surrender to her. He doesn’t know what Danzo is calculating in his heart, but it will definitely not be a good thing.

Zilai is also silent.

Some things do not need to be stated, people at their level also know it clearly.

Danzo seems to be down, but only the qualification to stand in front of the stage has been deprived.

But he is still the most powerful martial arts leader in the village, the only leader at the root.

His secret power, there is not much loss.

Even if he loses power, no one in Konoha dares to force Danzo to disband his roots, and Danzo will not do that either.

This principle is the same even if it is Tsunade.

In order to appease the mood of the martial arts faction, Danzo could not move.

This is also the most important reason why the public trial of Danzo has not been announced for a long time. The public trial was postponed by high-level officials for various reasons, and at the same time began to create a complete chain of evidence, pointing the finger at Orochimaru, diverting attention, and minimizing the negative impact of Danzo.

“That’s why the village needs your strength, and now only you can suppress Danzo.”

Just as the rest of the senior management were worried, Jiraiya was also very worried.

Danzo dared to attack Hokage this time, and even controlled Hokage with the illusion of Sharinyan, so there is no guarantee that the same thing will not happen in the future.

Although the high-level executives also asked Danzang to hand over the writing wheel on the grounds of the danger of the writing wheel… Danzang did hand over the writing wheel according to the order, but it was only a three-goose jade writing wheel. It’s not the kaleidoscope that Danzo owns.

The ability and power possessed by Danzo have seriously hindered the ruling power of those in power in Konoha.

Tsunade did not respond to Jiraiya, as if he was thinking about something.

Jiraiya did not disturb Tsunade’s thinking, allowing her to have sufficient consideration.

Naruto sat on the side, and also looked at Tsunade secretly, especially the snow white that was about to come out of his chest, Naruto felt that his breathing was beginning to be unsatisfactory.

Ru Jirai is exactly the same as what he revealed, she is indeed a famous…beautiful.

It was impossible to tell that she was a fifty-year-old woman of the same age as Jiraiya, twenty-five… no, she might even look younger.

The white and tender skin is like a girl’s, without the slightest wrinkle.

“Speaking of which, who is this kid who is staring at my chest? Dumbly, is it your illegitimate child?”

Naruto thought he was doing something very covert, but in Tsunade’s eyes, his actions could be said to be completely defenseless.

Naruto’s face turned red, as if he had been discovered because of his embarrassment, so he had to turn his eyes to the side, blow the whistle, and look innocent.

“Doesn’t it seem that you still have charm? Even young people can’t stop your charm as a woman.”

Zilai also laughed.

His eyes also lingered on Tsunade’s chest for a while, and then he shifted his gaze naturally, and he was quite skilled.

“I’m a fifty-year-old woman, and I’m still a little girl.”

Although he said that, Tsunade couldn’t help but smile, and he was in a good mood.

Jirai also sees all this in his eyes, and the woman really likes it very much.

“But Naruto is not my illegitimate son. You know, I have always been devoted to my feelings, and I don’t want to give up my virginity casually.”

He also said generously.

“A fifty-year-old man is still a virgin. You are a failure as a human being.”

Tsunade laughed loudly and began to taunt Jiraiya.

“Yeah, I wonder if the fairy in front of me is willing to give me a favor?”

“I reject!”

In the face of Jiraiya’s shameless show of love, Tsunade chose to refuse without hesitation, and his attitude was quite firm.

Jirai also sneered, although he knew this would be the result, but Tsunade refused so firmly, which still made him feel lost.

Then, Tsunade set his eyes on Naruto, as if he remembered something, and said, “Is the name Naruto? Speaking of which, this name, I remember…”

Jiraiya also replied: “Well, as you think, Naruto is the child of Minato and Kushina, and he is also the man of the village.”

“It’s frank enough now, but is it too late to say it at such a time?”

Tsunade said very annoyed.

“The disputes in the village are really indescribable. However, you should understand that the problem now is not Naruto. Let me just say it directly, Tsunade, you must go back to serve as the fifth Hokage.”

Jiraiya’s expression became extremely serious, no longer the one with the hippie smile just now.

“I have been away from the village for so long, and I seldom go back these years, and I seldom have contact with Konoha ninjas. It is estimated that the new generation of ninjas do not know me as a person… You really think I can manage such a big one. the village?”

Tsunade was not frightened by Jiraiya’s serious tone, and asked lightly.

“It’s all right with your words. You are quite popular among the Jōnin. Besides, Mr. Sarutobi has been secretly promoting you in the village these years. Many villagers in the village also believe in your character and ability.”

“…But, that guy from Chiba Shiraishi also came to invite me yesterday. You all think of me as a fragrant bun.”

Tsunade stared at Jiraiya’s face and said helplessly.

“You promised him?”

Jiraiya narrowed his eyes.

“I’m thinking about it.”

In other words, there is a possibility of taking refuge in the land of ghosts.

This is what Tsunade revealed.

Zi Lai also had a solemn expression on his face.

“Say in advance, that guy and the person you used to know are no longer the same person. He has betrayed the village and his companions. Over the years, he has been abusing the power in his hands, causing disturbances all over the ninja world. I am afraid, he has now Dissatisfied with the appropriation of small countries, he began to target big countries, and if this goes on, the Fourth Ninja World War will break out sooner or later because of him.”

“But according to my investigation, the living environment of the people in the country of ghosts is very good. This is not a lie.”

“But that’s just the country of ghosts. He never thought about using his power to benefit the ninja world, but like a cold-blooded machine to promote the military power of the country of ghosts, which is more domineering than Yun Yin’s approach. And cold.”

In order to further convince Tsunade, Jiraiya continued to talk about his thoughts.

“His behavior will only bring endless pain and death in the end. You who have experienced the war in the ninja world should understand how cruel the war is. Compared with Danzo, he is the greatest evil.”

“Don’t agree?”

Tsunade read something from Jiraiya’s serious eyes.

“I definitely don’t agree. The big toad fairy said that he is the root cause of the chaos in the world, and he has spared no effort to promote the military development of the country of ghosts over the years, which has led to the fact that countries have to step up the production of armaments, which has seriously increased the burden on other countries and the people. Many People are displaced because of this kind of thing, and their wives and children are separated, which just proves that.”

“It’s like something you would say.”

Tsunade shook the bottle in his hand bored.

“I’m looking at the problem based on reality, and I haven’t stayed in place all these years. But the more I investigate, the more I can feel that the war is imminent.”

“yes?”

Tsunade said in surprise.

Jirai also thought that Tsunade was too naive, not realizing the seriousness of the matter, nor how cold-blooded and dangerous the enemy Konoha was facing.

“Yes, chaos has begun to appear in many small countries now~www.mtlnovel.com~ It is rumored that the kingdom of ghosts is leading behind the scenes. They secretly provide weapons and food to the rebel groups in those small countries, disrupting the stability of the country. order to control the war market and make huge profits from the war.”

Seeing that Tsunade didn’t say a word, Jiraiya chased after the victory and said: “I don’t want you to be deceived by his rhetoric, you better think about it carefully. Naruto, you stay here, I’ll go out to do something, soon return.”

Jiraiya had a gloomy face, and left the izakaya under Naruto’s puzzled eyes.

“The lecherous fairy, where is he going?”

Naruto blinked, not understanding why Jirai left suddenly.

“Master Tsunade, Master Jiraiya is not planning to…”

Mute looked at the direction in which Jiraiya left, and seemed to think of something, and his face changed.

“That idiot, even though he is so old, he still likes to play with his temper. Forget it, let him go, mute, and let’s continue drinking.”

As if not worried about Jiraiya’s safety, Tsunade poured himself a glass of wine and savored it carefully.
