Escape From Konoha - Vol 2 Chapter 162

, !

Inside the courtyard.

“Even if you want to become stronger, it’s really rare for you to look like this.”

Shikamaru, who was practising the family’s yin escape in the courtyard, suddenly heard such a sentence in his ear.

He put down Yuyin’s palm and turned to look at the person who came, it was his father Lu Jiu.

“You, the elder of the Three Dynasties, are you so leisurely?”

Shikamaru pursed his lips, as if he felt that it would be very humiliating to be seen by others as he worked hard to cultivate.

After all, his performance in the past really has nothing to do with words like hard work.

“The elders of the three dynasties…”

Lu Jiu’s mouth twitched violently at his son’s complaints.

This generalization is actually not wrong. He has gone through three generations of Hokage, four generations of Hokage, and five generations of Hokage, and he has served as an important position of the squad leader of Shangnin during their reigns. He can indeed be called a “three dynasty veteran”.

In just 12 years, so many things have happened in Konoha, and he has changed the Hokage staff several times, which really makes him, the superintendent of the Shangnin, unhappy.

“How is it, working at Shin Hokage? I heard that he is a difficult person to get along with.”

Especially with regard to women, Shikamaru immediately had a bad association. Because in his mind, a woman is the same as a tigress.

“This kind of thing has nothing to do with your genin. You should consider the Chunin exam next year.”

Lu Jiu didn’t plan to talk much with Shikamaru in this regard.

The content of his work is highly confidential, and he can still figure out what can be said and what can’t be said.

Some things, even family members, can’t reveal the slightest.

“yes?”

Shikamaru raised an eyebrow, not paying too much attention.

“So, about Sasuke, and Kakashi… Hatake Kakashi, has the preparations started?”

After a pause, Shikamaru turned to other topics.

Lu Jiu glanced at Shikamaru and asked, “Is it for Naruto?”

“No, no matter how you say it, it’s also a former companion, so it doesn’t matter if I care.”

“It’s really tough.” Shikamaru’s little thought can be seen at a glance, and Lujiu didn’t blame him, so he said to Shikamaru: “Forget it, it’s okay to talk to you. Generally speaking, such a dangerous rebellion, In principle, it must be solved as soon as possible. Because they are not only powerful, but if they are allowed to stay for a long time, the credibility of the village may decline. On the other hand, because they have too much confidential information about the village, in order to prevent these secrets The leakage may endanger the safety of the village, and this part of the risk must also be prevented and controlled.”

“But the key is that the village should not have so much spare capacity now.”

Shikamaru hit the sore spot in the village right now.

Originally, due to the change of Hokage, Konoha has become haggard now, and the internal factions have not stabilized under the reconciliation of the new Hokage… If you are dealing with general rebellion, naturally you don’t need this. , arbitrarily dispatching a chasing force is sufficient. However, this time the goal is different, and the task delegation system needs to be restored. In fact, there are very few ninjas who can move freely.

“Generally speaking, although the wanted documents for the rebellion have been released, it is an indisputable fact that the village does not have the strength to pursue them.”

In fact, in Lu Jiu’s view, there are two more important reasons, that is, the shuffling of Anbu’s cards and the game between high-level officials are still going on in secret. After all, with the size of Konoha, you can still form a large-scale chasing force with a squeeze. However, due to the changes in Anbu and the senior management, this kind of matter can only be put on hold and temporarily dispatched patrol troops to show Konoha’s attitude.

If Konoha wants to fully restore the turnover, at least until February next year. The situation is going well, maybe it can be a little earlier, but in that case, my vacation will be gone.

Thinking of such a thing, Lu Jiu couldn’t help but imagine the pain of working overtime.

Even a ninja, when he thinks of working overtime now, he can’t help but feel a lot of bitterness in his heart.

“Okay, let’s practice hard, and urge Ino and Dingji. In a short while, there may be no time for you to enjoy this peace of mind.”

After saying those words, without waiting for Shikamaru’s question, Shikaku quickly left here.

He was silently calculating other things in his mind.

That is the plan to lead the country of fire, unite the big names of other countries, and punish the country of ghosts together, and it is moving forward.

Although the plan was temporarily stagnant due to the change of Hokage, after Tsunade returned, the plan was pushed forward again.

As the squad leader of Shangnin, he has the same power to know about this plan as the higher-ups. I was also fortunate enough to follow the three generations of Hokage to go to Damingfu to participate in this decision, and part of the planning was provided by him.

But now the three generations of Hokage have unfortunately died in the middle of the line, so Tsunade, who is the successor, must inherit the legacy of the three generations of Hokage and carry out this plan to the end.

Although Lu Jiu believes that there are many uncertain risks in promoting this plan, but it has the support of several big names and half of the Five Shadows, so it is up to him to consider whether this plan should be carried out, but must be carried out. and implement it as soon as possible.

Lu Jiu sighed in his heart, and a haze flashed in his eyes.

war……

◎

Opening the door of Hokage’s office, Lu Jiu saw the pile of papers on the table at first glance.

In the corner of the office, where there was also a pile of paper, in bundles, it was clear that this too was unfinished.

Shikahisa sighed with emotion for the hard work of Tsunade as the new Hokage. Thinking of this, he didn’t feel pain when he worked overtime.

Even Hokage took the lead in working so hard, as a subordinate, how could he still be stagnant?

Thinking like this, Lu Jiu quickly walked to the desk, and then saw Tsunade lying on the table, drooling from the corner of his mouth, sleeping sweetly.

“…”

It could be a dream.

After all, Konoha is so busy up and down, how could Hokage be lazy at such a time?

It must be an illusion, an illusion.

Just when Lu Jiu thought so, he seemed to hear the movement next to him, Tsunade opened his eyes from his sleep, and asked in a daze.

“What, mute, have you bought the pork chop rice?”

“No, it’s me, Hokage-sama.”

The corner of Lu Jiu’s mouth twitched.

What is pork chop rice? It shouldn’t be lunch time now, there are at least two hours before lunch time.

“Uh, it’s Lu Jiu. Sorry, I made you laugh.”

Tsunade noticed that it was Lu Jiu, and was not at all embarrassed. He calmly picked up a tissue and wiped the very indecent-looking saliva from the corner of his mouth.

Then, she said seriously:

“First of all, I’m definitely not lazy to sleep just now, I’m just thinking deeply about the development planning of some villages. Don’t get me wrong.”

Put away the drool-wiping tissue first, let’s talk about it, Hokage-sama. Kakashi sighed inwardly.

“Since you’re tired, it’s better for Hokage-sama to go home and rest.”

Considering that Tsunade has been working at a high intensity, it is not unreasonable to find a time to be lazy for a while. After all, caring about the health of the boss is also the responsibility of the subordinates.

“Don’t worry, I’m full of energy now!”

Tsunade said that he was fine and could continue to work, posing as a hardworking boss who was serious about his work.

“…”

This sounded even more depressing.

He suspected that as soon as he left here, the other party would just lie down on the table and sleep again.

“these are……”

Shikajiu saw the stack of papers on the table in front of Tsunade, and his expression changed.

“Ah, these are medical department personnel information.”

Although Tsunade can handle government affairs with ease, she is best at things related to the medical sector. After all, this is her old line of work, and it is indeed more convenient to manage than to deal with other things.

“Are you planning to reorganize like Anbu?”

Lu Jiu’s mind moved.

“This is no use. Although there are some problems in the medical department, as long as there are no problems with the senior cadres in the department, everything is within the controllable range. Unlike Anbu, which is infiltrated from top to bottom. It’s a sieve.”

Tsunade said so.

“That can’t be said, none of us knew that Kakashi would be a spy for Orochimaru. Maybe before Watergate, Kakashi was a person of Orochimaru. I think about the senior management of the medical department, also We should investigate, maybe we can catch some big fish from it.”

Shikahisa pondered for a while and suggested to Tsunade.

Tsunade could not help but narrow his eyes when he heard these words, and began to think seriously.

Although she took over the affairs of Hokage, and from the beginning, she used her strong style to temporarily deter the two advisors, but in the end, this was only for her own convenience. But in terms of the details of the village, she still lacked some care.

And Lu Jiu can make up for these shortcomings of her. As the squad leader of Shangnin, he knows all aspects of Konoha better than himself.

“Yes, but it needs to be carried out in secret. But since we want to investigate to the end, we will secretly dispatch people from the Hinata clan and the Yamanaka clan to cooperate with Anbu’s actions.”

Tsunade did not hesitate and quickly settled on this matter.

“Okay, I’ll go to Hyuga and Yamanaka in the future.”

Lu Jiu nodded and took the matter to himself.

“Also, about this little girl…”

Tsunade took out a piece of paper from the document in front of him.

“Haruno Sakura?”

Shikaku saw the photo on the paper, it was the seventh class medical ninja Haruno Sakura.

As a new generation of medical ninjas, Haruno Sakura has a great reputation in the medical sector. In addition to the medical talisman incident, Lu Jiu also fell in love with this twelve-year-old girl.

“Yes.”

Tsunade glanced at it, and the identity information, ability information, and ninja resume of the other party were all at a glance.

“Hokage-sama means…”

“Check to see if she has been disturbed by Kakashi. In addition, her medical amulet research is very interesting. Remember to get some experimental items later.”

“Yes.”

Although he didn’t know why Tsunade made such a decision, Shikaku nodded seriously and agreed.

“You’re wrong, do it again!”

Somewhere on the back of Miaomu Mountain, there is a pond made of waterfalls, and there are stone toads of various sizes beside it.

Immortal Fukasaku sat on the head of a stone toad, holding a black stick in his hand. I don’t know if this was the first time he had corrected Naruto’s mistake in cultivating natural energy. However, after seeing Naruto after so long, he was still unable to get started, and his brows could not help but frown.

“However, I can’t feel the ‘natural energy’ that Grandpa Immortal you said at all. Then again, is there really any so-called natural energy?”

Naruto began to doubt the authenticity of the existence of natural energy in this world.

In the past, when he practiced ninjutsu, although he also encountered various problems, after several days in a row, he still had no gain at all. This was the first time that he had encountered such a situation.

“Yes, it’s just that the natural energy hidden in the earth and air is more difficult for us to discover and utilize. Even the original little Jiraiya took several years to become worthy of entry.”

“For several years!? Getting started!?”

When Naruto heard this, he immediately opened his mouth wide, looking extremely surprised.

“Well, although he is lazy, has no perseverance, and gave up halfway, natural energy is indeed not so easy to grasp. Even in Miaomu Mountain, which has accumulated rich natural energy, there are quite a few toads in it that cannot be sensed. Natural energy, not to mention the more difficult immortal arts in the future.”

Immortal Fukasaku jumped off the stone toad and said to Naruto.

“What about me? Grandpa Immortal, how long do you think it will take me to get started?”

Naruto pointed to himself and asked.

“Well… this is a bit hard to say. In terms of chakra, you have indeed reached the basic conditions for cultivating immortal arts, but your basic ability seems to be a little weak, even worse than the original Xiao Zilai…”

Immortal Fukasaku looked at Naruto carefully and said.

“Isn’t it? Am I worse than a lecherous fairy?”

“It’s hard to say. When Xiao Zilai was practicing immortality, he was different from you. Chakra’s control was already very good. With a good Chakra, he sensed natural energy very early, but he couldn’t control it freely. That’s all. That’s why his later immortality skills are only half-baked, and he needs me and the child to maintain his mother’s mother before entering the perfect immortal mode.”

“It turns out that the lecherous immortal has not fully mastered it. If I master this, will it be more powerful than the lecherous immortal?”

Naruto began to think about it.

He knows how powerful Jiraiya is. If he surpasses the other party, maybe it will be his turn to be the next generation of Hokage.

“Don’t think about these good things, even Xiao Zilai can’t enter the perfect immortal mode by himself, but in terms of human beings, he is a very great ninja. Ninety-nine percent of the humans who come to Miaomu Mountain to seek immortal skills are stuck in Below the entry level. There are only a handful of human beings who can enter the immortal mode on their own for thousands of years. And the fate of the losers has become these stone toads.”

Immortal Fukasaku pointed to the large and small stone toads around him, and warned Naruto not to be careless in this regard, otherwise the end would be miserable.

Sure enough, after hearing Immortal Fukasaku’s words, Naruto swallowed his saliva in fear.

At this moment, the two heard footsteps approaching, turned their heads to look, and saw Zilai also walking over.

“How is it, Boss Shenzuo, Naruto’s natural energy cultivation situation?”

As soon as he came, he asked.

Immortal Shenzuo glanced at the unwilling Naruto, and said without concealment: “Not at all, Xiao Naruto cannot sense the existence of natural energy. After so many days, there is still nothing to do. According to my opinion, we should wait for a while, maybe it is feasible. .”

“Does it need to be so troublesome? Can’t you use toad oil to assist your practice?”

Zilai also frowned and asked.

Immortal Shenzuo hesitated for a moment.

“Toad oil can indeed play a supporting role, but the degree to which that thing senses and absorbs natural energy is judged according to the basic ability of the person involved… If the control ability is too poor, it may immediately turn into a stone toad. ”

In other words, from Immortal Fukasaku’s point of view, Naruto’s use of toad oil to aid his cultivation is too dangerous.

“You have to try it to find out. And isn’t there the boss of you? Naruto is the son of the prophecy predicted by the big toad immortal, and this level can definitely be overcome.”

Jiraiya also has plenty of confidence in Naruto.

“…Okay. But let me say it first, if it fails, I will temporarily give up the cultivation of immortality and start from the foundation of chakra control.”

Immortal Fukasaku also felt that Naruto, since he was the son of prophecy in the mouth of Immortal Big Toad, might really be able to cause miracles.

So, it jumped to the side of the pool, reached into the pool, and covered its palms with the toad oil in the pool.

“Naruto, take off your shirt.”

Jiraiya also ordered.

Although Naruto was puzzled, he did as he did, taking off his shirt to reveal a sturdy figure.

Next, Immortal Fukasaku, who had toad oil on his hands, jumped behind Naruto and smeared the toad oil on Naruto’s back.

For a time, Naruto felt the slightest coldness, something was ramming into his body uncontrollably from the outside world.

“Uh……”

Naruto felt that his body became extremely stiff, as if he had lost control, showing a look of surprise.

“not good!”

Seeing that Naruto’s head began to swell and his body began to show signs of petrification, Immortal Fukasaku immediately took out the black stick in his hand, aimed it at Naruto’s back, and struck quickly.

“what!”

Naruto screamed in pain, feeling as if his back was ripped off by Immortal Fukasaku with a black stick, his mouth was pumping cold air, reducing the pain.

And with this blow, the uncontrolled natural energy in his body was also shot out of the body by the black stick, allowing Naruto to return to its original state.

“Can’t you?”

Looking at Naruto who was constantly puffing his air, Jirai also sighed.

Immortal Shenzuo said helplessly: “You have seen the situation, toad oil has advantages and disadvantages, but it is definitely not suitable for Naruto at this stage. Xiao Zilai, you should first get his foundation ready. Chakra can’t be controlled well, so it is impossible to control natural energy and fuse the fairy chakra.”

Magic is not that simple. Even in Miaomu Mountain, there are only very few elites who can master immortal arts.

Sensing natural energy, controlling natural energy, and then manipulating and merging with chakra, although the steps are simple, most people can master natural energy, which is a great existence.

If you want to reach the third stage and fuse your own fairy chakra, it is not a power that can be easily popularized.

“It seems that’s the only way, but don’t worry, boss Fukasaku, I will let him control his balance as soon as possible.”

Jiraiya also felt that he was too hasty.

If you want to eat a fat man in one bite, you will definitely kill Naruto indiscriminately.

The road to becoming stronger still needs to be done step by step.

“Well, then I’ll trouble you. In addition, go to the workshop and get a few immortal talismans and use them for Naruto. It can promote his growth faster, and even help him to use immortality in the future.”

Immortal Fukasaku thought of something.

“Is that thing ready?”

He was also excited.

“Almost, although it can’t be mass-produced, it’s still possible to make 180 sheets.”

“That’s great, in this way, it is equivalent to abolishing one of the enemy’s generals! Then I won’t stay here any longer, Naruto, pack up and salute, and we will return to Konoha as soon as possible!”

Jiraiya was excited and urged Naruto to act quickly.

After speaking, without waiting for Naruto to respond, he hurried towards Miaomushan’s workshop.

Foggy Village.

Water Shadow Office.

“This is a letter from the land of ghosts.”

Terumi Mei came to Yakura with a letter and said to him.

Yakura put down the matter in his hand, quickly took the letter, opened it and scanned it, the expression on his face softened slightly.

“How is the situation, Mistress Shuiying?”

Terumi Mei didn’t know what was written on it, but looking at Yagura’s expression, something good should have happened.

“The Land of Ghosts has successfully contacted Longdi Cave.”

“So, is Miaomushan’s threat relieved?”

Terumi Mei asked.

“That’s right for the time being, but we’ll have to play a game to know how. However, Longdi Cave and Miaomu Mountain are both holy places, and the difference in strength between the two will not be too big. Coupled with the assistance of the Kingdom of Ghosts, we can unite It shouldn’t be a problem for Longdi Cave to capture a Miaomu Mountain.”

Yakura tapped the table with his fingers and expressed his opinion.

Even without the assistance of Longdidong, he felt that it would not be a problem to take down a Miaomu Mountain with the military power of the Kingdom of Ghosts, but it was very difficult to operate in that way, and it would be disturbed by various unexpected factors, thus lead to certain deviations in the results.

“Next, follow me to the Daming Mansion to meet with the big name. Regarding the matter of going to the Fire Nation Parliament after the year, you need to make some preparations as soon as possible.”

Soon, Yagura also made this decision.

“So fast?”

Terumi Mei was taken aback.

“Well, maybe the war will come faster than we imagined. Originally, it was planned to let Xiao and the rest of the big countries use the tail beast as a flashpoint to weaken the strength of both sides, and then devour them in one bite… But now, the country of fire, The daimyo of the Land of Winds, and even our daimyo, seem to have other thoughts.”

Although Yakura knew that the way of the country of ghosts~www.mtlnovel.com~ will attract the attention of these daimyo sooner or later, but did not expect these daimyo to unite so quickly. The ability to perceive crisis is sharper than expected.

And according to the information revealed from the water country daimyo, the land country also seems to have plans to join the alliance and jointly punish the country of ghosts. In the first five countries, only Lei Zhiguo was left, and their position had not yet been completely firmed up, so they had other plans.

“If that’s the case, then the next move needs to be a little more careful.”

Terumi Mei thought about the answer.

“Actually, you don’t need to worry too much. This kind of alliance just looks like a lot of gimmicks, but in actual operation, it’s not so easy to break in just because of the internal trust issue. All countries have their own interests and demands, and then the real On the battlefield, I am afraid that only Konoha and Sandyin are the ones who contribute.”

Compared to Terumi Mei’s cautious attitude, Yagura’s attitude was a little more optimistic.

Shayin, who is still recovering, is still in the recovery period, but Konoha… I may not be able to specify those high-level executives, and there will be some big melons that will stun everyone.

Konoha’s strongest enemy is not outside, but inside. If this problem is not solved one day, there will always be huge hidden dangers. For himself and for the Allies.
