Escape From Konoha

The maid prepared the tea and then went down. Only Shiraishi, Uchiha Shifang, and the Uchiha Jonin guard were left in the living room.

After finishing the tea, Uchiha Sifang looked around the living room, and then said: "There are still no obvious changes here from the past. Since she was a child, Liuli has been a rather special child. How about getting along with her? Isn’t it difficult sometimes?”

He had a friendly smile on his face.

"I didn't find him particularly difficult to get along with."

After Shiraishi finished speaking, he secretly observed all directions of Uchiha.

Wearing an outdated but finely crafted black kimono, he has a full head of white hair, obvious wrinkles, a thin face, and a beard on his chin.

The figure should be considered relatively thin, and the body is also a little rickety, but it does not give people a body full of wounds, but a majestic aura.

When he was young, he must have been a experienced ninja.

Even though he is retired now, the majestic demeanor belonging to an elite ninja has become more and more precipitated at this age, making him appear extraordinary.

"Elder Sifang came to see Liuli for something?"

"It's not something important. The main reason is that I haven't been out for a long time. I happened to pass by here today, so I came in to take a look."

Elder Sifang said casually.

Because Baishi didn't know this Sifang elder well, he wasn't sure whether he really came here for a casual stroll.

It's just that this reason is quite reasonable and makes it difficult for people to see the flaw.

However, he had heard Liuli say before that this Sifang elder was the leader of the radical faction of the Uchiha clan, and his status in the Uchiha clan was even higher than that of the clan leader.

It is said that he was once a follower of Uchiha Madara. Since the death of the second-generation Hokage Senju Tobirama, the Hokage family headed by the third-generation Hokage have also been very afraid of the old man's ability.

Although on the surface, this is just a reclusive old man who was once prosperous, but now retreats to the second line and does not care about worldly affairs.

Baishi just answered the Sifang elders' chat-like questions one by one. In any case, he was Liuli's mentor and could not be neglected easily.

"Have you ever considered getting married?"

Elder Sifang asked suddenly, as if it was just the same as before, just talking casually.

"ah?"

Shiraishi was stunned for a moment.

This kind of question didn't surprise him, but the sudden suggestion of such a thing gave him a very strange feeling.

"Young people today don't know why they have become so mother-in-law. In our era, as long as both parties fell in love, they would get married in the first or second year."

The elders from all directions seemed to be complaining.

Shiraishi smiled awkwardly.

"You two will be eighteen years old after this year. It's time to think about getting married. Ninja is a highly dangerous profession. It's not surprising if you die anytime. It's better to leave offspring as early as possible. "

Elder Sifang muttered this in a low voice, no different from ordinary old people who are eager to hug their grandchildren.

Such words seem to be cursing others to death, which is really unlucky. Shiraishi complained in his heart.

But since the other party was an elder, Shiraishi could only complain in his heart.

"That, Liuli and I will seriously consider it."

Elder Sifang then smiled with satisfaction and continued to drink tea.

"Okay, it's almost time, it's time for me to leave."

"So soon? Why not stay and have dinner?"

Baishi stood up with Elder Sifang and persuaded him to stay here for dinner.

"No need to go to such trouble. I just wanted to go out for a walk and see if the village is any different from before. As people get older, they become obsessed with things in the past."

Shiraishi could only nod in agreement.

In front of this elder of the four directions, even the Third Hokage would call himself a junior, let alone a new generation of ninjas like Shiraishi.

Just thinking about having to worry about the affairs of the Uchiha clan at such an age, and also serving as the leader of the Uchiha radical faction, this elder of the Four Directions may not be as weak as he appears, at least the ambition of his youth has not been eliminated in his heart.

Letting Shiraishi stay at the door, the elder Sifang continued walking forward with the Uchiha Jonin guard beside him. He did not return the same way. Was he really out for a walk?

Baishi stood at the door and thought. He really couldn't figure out what the elder of the Sifang was thinking about. Anyway, it had nothing to do with him. There was no need to be obsessed with such things.

"Do you really want to do this? Elder Sifang?"

As they continued to move forward, the Jonin guard beside the elders couldn't help but ask.

"Li Huo, this is the only way out for the Uchiha clan now."

The friendly smile on Elder Sifang's face disappeared and became extremely deep and indifferent.

"If Liuli finds out, you will die. You should know better than me what kind of person she is."

"For the sake of a younger and more powerful Uchiha flame, shouldn't I feel lucky that my old bones are still useful at this age?"

The guard jounin Uchiha Rihuo sighed.

Yes, as Liuli's mentor, how could the Sifang elders not understand the other party's character.

It was only after the other party understood this that he made the decision to sacrifice himself to protect the clan.

"The current Uchiha clan is just like me walking on this path. Senju Tobirama forced our clan to only follow this path."

The old man was walking on a road covered with darkness, unable to see the light.

"But the Third Hokage is working hard to repair the relationship between the village and our clan."

Li Huo had some unbearable expression on his face.

The Sifang elders at this age should have enjoyed their old age in peace, instead of continuing to fight in the political arena and sacrifice their lives to light up the future of their clan.

"They're just like the same raccoon dog. This kid, Hiruzen Sarutobi, is either thinking of a solution or in the process of thinking of a solution. It's never possible to get a definite answer from him. Sooner or later, Uchiha will be destroyed in what he's thinking In this hesitant political stance, even though he is Hokage, Wuying's decisiveness and responsibility are far inferior to those of Senju Tobirama."

Elder Sifang snorted coldly.

Li Huo was silent.

He thought of the conflict between Genbu and Liuli a few years ago.

I thought of many things from earlier.

The Hokage maintains a balance every time, but some things involving village principles cannot be condoned and must be balanced.

As the elders of the four directions said, one can believe in Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's loyalty to Konoha and his love for the entire village, but one cannot believe in his ability to govern.

The root can be said to be the darkness born under his connivance and hesitation.

"The only way forward for Uchiha is to save themselves. Don't place the hope of the clan on outsiders. Even if Uchiha men and women die, they can only die on the battlefield. Let's go, Li Huo."

◎

Night, ten past seven.

"Are you back? You've been working hard outside on missions. Come over and eat quickly. If you don't eat, you'll be cold."

At the dining table, Shiraishi had already set out the dishes and was waiting for Liuli to come over and enjoy dinner together.

Liuli didn't say anything, just sat at the dining table as usual, eating dinner with Shiraishi.

"How was the mission today?"

"It's a very ordinary C-level mission. Next year I will take those three brats to take the chunin exam. As long as they pass, they can go on A-level missions. There is nothing worthwhile about C-level missions."

When Shiraishi heard what Ruri said, he could only express his condolences for the three genin in Ruri's team.

C-level and D-level missions will not involve ninja battles, but starting from B-level missions, the difficulty of the mission will increase qualitatively, and you will encounter battles between ninjas.

As for A-level missions, you will encounter Jonin-level enemies. If you are not careful, you will fail and the entire army will be annihilated.

Chuunin are indeed qualified to accept B-level and A-level missions.

Generally speaking, for a Jonin team whose members have just become chuunin, the captain will also carefully choose B-level tasks to accumulate experience before performing A-level tasks.

But Shiraishi thought that with Ruri's temperament, when the three genin in the team became chuunin, they would probably choose to start accumulating experience directly from A-level missions.

Ruri prefers to have fun for herself rather than leading genin.

A-level missions are indeed much more interesting than B-level and C-level missions, although for new chunin, they may lose their lives at any time.

No matter how bad a jounin is, he can still carry out a crushing battle against a chuunin.

The gap between each level of ninja is very large.

"By the way, Elder Sifang came to see you today. You were not at home. He drank a cup of tea here and left."

Baishi thought of something and told Liuli about the elders from all directions visiting here in the evening.

"Elder Sifang?"

Liuli's eating movements paused, and then she frowned.

"What, aren't you happy? I remember that he once taught you various ninja fighting skills. You respect him, right?"

"Just a rotten old man who is dying."

Liuli snorted coldly.

"This is really rude."

"Did he say anything outrageous to you when he came here?"

Liuli's eyes showed dissatisfaction.

Nowadays, those who hold important positions in the Uchiha clan are all radical ninjas, and Uchiha Shifang is the leader of the Uchiha radical faction.

In her eyes, the radicals all have brain problems.

They are extremely passionate about the power of the village, and seem to think that becoming Hokage is the only way to save the Uchiha clan.

Indulging in the glory of the past, it can be said that they are stupid guys who combine strength and arrogance, but only have no brains.

Although Liuli did not clearly set a boundary with them, she also knew that she could not fit into such an atmosphere.

My own power and ideas are incompatible with the environment there.

She hasn't seen even the elders from Sifang for a long time.

Even though Elder Shifang had the method to open the Mangekyou Sharingan in his hands, she did not want to meet anyone who made her dissatisfied. When she went to the Hokage, it was business-like and she did not want to have too much contact. The rejection and dissatisfaction were clearly written on her face.

Moreover, after practicing the sage mode, how about the Mangekyou Sharingan? Do you need it? I am not so keen on this legendary eye technique.

More importantly, after practicing the magic of immortality, Liuli felt that she could calm down many times and think about problems with a calm mind.

Of course, there are also moments when you can’t calm down.

Thinking of this, Liuli glared at Shiraishi with displeased eyes and took two hard bites of food.

Bai Shi looked confused. He didn't know where he made her angry again?

Could it be because we missed thirty seconds of kissing when we hugged each other two days ago?

How about making it up tonight?

"How could it be? He just came here to take a look. I think he is a very kind old man."

Shiraishi told the truth.

Ayane said that the elders of the Hyuga clan were very old-fashioned and mean, always following rules and regulations, which made her feel very bored, but they always had to keep a smile on their faces.

And through such a comparison, Shiraishi found that although the Sifang elder held an important position in the Uchiha clan, he had a good personality and did not object to the matter between himself and Liuli, but rather agreed with it.

What an enlightened elder.

"Don't be fooled by his kind appearance. His political skills are more terrifying than the Sandaime. Until now, I can't see clearly what he is thinking and what he is plotting. In short, be careful. "

Liuli looked serious.

"It's not that scary, is it?"

"He is a tough guy who can chat and laugh with you one second, and get rid of you with a smile the next. He is an extremely cold-blooded old guy. He already has the useful and useless things in the family in his heart. decision."

Baishi was a little surprised when he heard Liuli commenting on the kind and kind elder Sifang.

"In the early years, many Uchiha tribesmen opposed him becoming the leader of the radical faction. However, within a few years, he was the only voice left in the Uchiha tribe. Those tribesmen who expressed objections and targeted him are now all There are no more left, either he died during the mission or he disappeared mysteriously. Among the Uchiha clan, he is the most feared guy by the Hokage clan."

"Yeah?"

Knowing that Liuli would not exaggerate, it seems that the Sifang elder is really an amazing person.

To be too old to die is to be a thief...that's what it means.

After all, the other party is also an old antique who has gone through the Warring States Period, the Konoha Establishment Era, the first and second generation Hokage died, and is still alive until the third generation Hokage is in power now.

It is not an exaggeration to call him a witness of the times.

But...what does this have to do with him?

He is the man that the future star of his family likes. No matter what happens, he will not set his sights on him, right?

Thinking of this, Shiraishi felt much more at ease.

◎

December passed quickly and it was January.

Because of the arrival of the New Year Festival, Konoha Village began to become lively.

The tasks at hand of the ninjas stopped, and only the ninjas with special professions were still working overtime at their posts.

Many Konoha ninjas who were defending the national border also returned to the village to celebrate the New Year.

However, the situation in Sunagakure Village was still calm, and there was no consciousness of starting a war.

If it weren't for the large amount of medicines and supplies purchased by Sunagakure on Shionka Company's orders, Shiraishi would still be asking Shionka Company to step up the production of medical supplies, not just medicines, but also medical gauze, medical cotton, bandages, etc., Shiraishi They all doubted whether Sunagakure Village had given up the idea of ​​attacking the Country of Fire.

Could it be that Sunagakure Village also wants to celebrate the New Year happily, hold a lively New Year Festival, and then start a war after the New Year?

If you think about it this way, the Third Kazekage-dono seems to be quite humane.

It's like not wanting to see blood during the Chinese New Year. After all, it's ominous to start a war during the Chinese New Year.

On the night of the Konoha New Year Festival.

"How about it?"

After changing into her kimono, Ruri turned around slightly, showing her beautiful figure to Shiraishi.

Her long hair, which is as black as silk, is flying. The light blue kimono is fresh and elegant, with some beautiful and bright patterns printed on it. The moon-white silk belt around her waist is tied into a bow at the back, which adds a touch of sophistication. He is very agile, without his usual indifference, and his eyes are much gentler.

"It's beautiful."

Shiraishi replied somewhat dazedly.

It seems that leaving Konoha after the Chinese New Year is a good choice.

Just how to explain to Liuli and when to confess... Shiraishi had an even bigger headache.

Obviously I am not a hesitant person, why did I lose my temper at such a critical moment?

Holding hands with Liuli, they walked out of the Uchiha clan's territory.

When we arrived at the commercial street in the village, we saw a sea of ​​people.

Rather than calling it village, Shiraishi prefers to use the word town to describe the size of Konoha Village.

I bought some barbecue from a barbecue stall and ate it while walking. However, we openly started eating each other on the street.

Although he was a little ashamed and embarrassed, seeing Liuli's blushing and happy look on his face, Shiraishi became shameless.

"Ahem..."

Because I ate too quickly, I choked.

"Idiot, you ate too quickly."

"Sorry, it's just too delicious."

“What’s so delicious about that?”

Liuli looked up at Shiraishi.

With the beautiful and lively festival as the background, the girl's long black hair hung straight down to her waist, like the gentle moonlight and elegance, her eyes flickered.

"Um……"

This question is really philosophical. Is food more delicious, or unmarried girls?

When Shiraishi was about to answer, a familiar voice intervened, and he said very rudely and with a bit of ridicule:

"You two brats, is it fun to set off flash bombs in a place like this?"

Tsunade wore a blue kimono with light yellow flower patterns on it, giving her a bit of a ladylike temperament.

And he has a great mind that can make countless warriors break their heads.

Next to her was Shizune, who was also wearing a small kimono, staring at Shiraishi and Ruri with curiosity.

I didn't expect that such an ordinary person like Shiraishi-senpai would have such a beautiful girlfriend.

I really underestimated him.

This is what she had in mind.

"Tsunade-sensei, and Shizune, are you two here too?"

"How can I be worthy of such a lively festival if I don't come out and have a feast?"

Tsunade's bold voice directly destroyed her ladylike temperament.

"Is that so?"

How to get drunk at such a happy festival?

When Shiraishi saw Shizune standing there with a helpless expression, he knew how hard it would be for her tonight.

"Hey, Tsunade, you are here."

Another voice intervened.

Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, took off his ninja uniform and put on casual clothes. He looked quite mature and manly.

Although the smile on his face is still carefree.

And his eyes kept peeking at Tsunade's great mind.

goat.

Next to him was a man with pale skin, giving off a cold-blooded feeling like a snake.

Orochimaru is also a Sannin.

Is it a Sannin party tonight? Shiraishi thought interestingly.

But since there were these two people, he didn't have to worry. After Tsunade was so drunk, Shizune worked hard to send Tsunade home alone.

"It's you, Jiraiya. Didn't you agree to celebrate this festival with Minato?"

Tsunade asked.

"Stop talking, young people nowadays are really more powerful than the other. Minato and Kushina are together, and me being a light bulb in the past will only embarrass them."

Jiraiya smiled helplessly.

"You idiot, do you still have time to consider other people's moods?"

Tsunade was unforgiving.

"How about it, are you going to have a drink tonight? Orochimaru is coming too. We haven't had a drink together for a long time, right?"

Jiraiya didn't care about Tsunade's sarcastic attitude, but invited Tsunade to go over for a drink.

"Don't drag me along."

Orochimaru frowned as he had a headache. These two were the best drinkers at every party, and they would drink until they couldn't walk without caring about other people's troubles.

Bad character makes the wine even worse.

"Does it have anything to do with it? You've been getting colder and colder towards me recently. Now is the time to rekindle our friendship."

Jiraiya hooked Orochimaru's shoulders and laughed.

"Fool."

Orochimaru snorted and turned his face away.

"It doesn't matter if one person drinks or three people drink... Well, by the way, Shiraishi boy, can I ask you a favor?"

Tsunade looked at Shiraishi.

"Busy? What are you busy with?"

"The three of us are going to drink, and Shizune will be asked to take care of you."

Tsunade pushed the overwhelmed Shizune out.

Just as Shiraishi was about to say something, Tsunade was already drifting away from Jiraiya and Orochimaru on the street, and he could only see her waving her hand in greeting.

"Then I'll spare your trouble."

"..."

Don't give him an excuse to refuse.

Shiraishi scratched his head in distress.

Damn it, this way, there would be no way to secretly do something embarrassing with Liuli.

Tsunade-sensei, you devil! You are not a medical ninja who helps people in distress!

"Well, senior Baishi and senior Liuli, I will trouble you. Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble for you."

Shizune walked over and bowed meekly.

"How can you say it's troublesome? In fact, I think the more people there are, the more lively it will be."

Shiraishi continued to scratch his head and smiled.

"hypocritical."

Liuli interrupted abruptly.

Walked towards a clothing store.

Shiraishi said to Shizune: "Shizune, how about you play by yourself first? I'll pick you up after a while."

Shizune thought about it and knew that following Shiraishi and Liuli, she could only be a light bulb. Not only would the other party be embarrassed, but she would also be embarrassed herself, although she nodded.

"Then I'll have something to eat there."

Shizune pointed to the barbecue restaurant not far away that Shiraishi and Ruri had just visited.

"Okay. I'll leave it to you then. When Liuli and I finish shopping, we'll come and pick you up."

Shiraishi took out the money from his wallet, put it in Shizune's hand, and told her to have a good meal.

◎

hateful! hateful!

It's obviously the last festival in Konoha, but I can't kiss Shiraishi-kun together!

This is the thought in Hinata Ayane's mind.

Although she was wearing a kimono given to her by Shiraishi, it still could not satisfy and fill her empty body.

There were a lot of things in front of her, such as takoyaki, kebabs, and fried noodles, and she stuffed them into her mouth one by one to vent her dissatisfaction.

"Boss, here are fifty skewers of takoyaki and ten bowls of barbecued pork ramen! Hurry up!"

"Okay, okay, please wait a moment."

She is obviously a very cute girl, but why is she so good at eating? The shopkeeper looked at the girl eating in the shop with horrified eyes, feeling uneasy in his heart.

If this continues, it feels like his store will go bankrupt.

After all, he was the one who wrote the slogan ‘You can eat for three hours without paying’ on the door of the store.

In order to attract people, I finally caught a real big-stomach queen.

Now the other party has been eating continuously for an hour and a half, eating every minute and every second, and can't stop with his hands and mouth.

"Although Mr. Hizu allows us to have a little more fun, you don't have to eat like this."

Working with Ayane on the side, Hinata Touma, the jounin of the Hyuga branch, was a little stunned as he watched the mountain of food in front of Ayane disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If Ayane's identity hadn't been confirmed, he would have really suspected that Ayane was a spy sent by the Akimichi clan to the Hyuga clan.

No, even among the Akimichi clan, there are few things that are so edible.

"Anyway, our group is not the only one that protects Master Rizu. Why don't you, Senior Touma, come over and eat together?"

"No need. My mission is to protect Lord Hizu."

"oh."

Originally, she meant for him, and Ayane didn't want him to sit down and eat together. She was quite self-aware of this.

Just thinking about not being able to spend the last festival in Konoha with Shiraishi tonight, but also doing some shameful things with Ruri, hugging, kissing, and then...

Ayane's heart turned to grief and anger again, filled with dark emotions.

Tremble, all Konoha restaurants holding free tasting events for big eaters tonight!

See the Byakugan power of the Hyuga clan!

Ayane took a bite, ugh...

◎

Humans are really noisy creatures.

This is the only thought in General Tu's mind.

He just doesn't have the ability to speak, but he's not mentally retarded.

He buried himself in the soil and could feel the hustle and bustle of Konoha at the moment.

So, because of this hustle and bustle, he lost the motivation to swim freely in the soil.

In such a noisy world, I could go deeper underground, where no sound would come from swimming, but why should I yearn for such noise?

There was light in his dark eyes, and he just stayed in the corner of the mess, silently watching the Konoha festival.

It would be great if one day I could participate in such an event openly...

The child ran over his head and stepped on his head.

"..."

The kid in Konoha is so annoying.

Maybe if he stuffs a few detonating charms into his house some other time, it will calm down.

However, there are no tasks today, so I have so much free time.

He was usually used to running errands, but now that he was suddenly free, General Tu didn't know what to do.

Sister Tianyu and brother Raimingmaru work in the Kingdom of Ghosts, and sister Shadow Dancer is always like a little child who has not grown up, clinging to her father and mother and acting like a spoiled brat.

Although he is only three years old, his father said that he is no longer a child, but a mature adult.

Therefore, I cannot act coquettishly or be childish like my younger brothers and sisters.

A man who loves his work is a mature man.

Even if it is a festival, you must be vigilant and not be careless.

The native general worked conscientiously.

◎

Halfway through the festival, Shiraishi and Liuli came back early.

You can still feel the lively festival atmosphere in the village here. The activities are still going on and should not end until midnight.

The sound of explosions sounded in the night sky, and extremely brilliant firelight bloomed in the sky, depicting colorful and beautiful patterns.

"It's so beautiful."

"yes."

Although the sporadic sparks are fleeting, the gathering of all the sporadic sparks will make people moved.

Just like human beings, the light that one person can shine is limited after all. However, when everyone gathers together, the light that blooms will form the beauty of the night sky at this moment.

If one person's spark is fleeting, then ten people, a hundred people, a thousand people, ten thousand people, or more people send out sparks together, and that is the light that starts a prairie fire.

Villages, countries, and the world are all made up of this.

What Shiraishi saw was not fireworks, but human beings' love and struggle for life. They were all trying their best to pursue their own happiness.

In the somewhat quiet courtyard, Shiraishi and Liuli watched the fireworks that continued to bloom in the night sky. Although they were far away from the hustle and bustle, they also shared the joy and excitement with the people of Konoha.

Baishi couldn't help but pull Liuli into his arms, and Liuli obediently blushed and fell on Baishi's shoulder, clinging to each other, secretly savoring the happiness that belonged to the two of them.

Shiraishi gently combed Liuli's silk-like hair.

Gradually, all the surrounding sounds seemed to disappear. Even though the fireworks were still exploding, the sounds were no longer visible, and there were only fragments of firelight shining in the eyes.

Only each other's heartbeats can be heard clearly.

Liuli took the initiative to kiss him.

Shiraishi also hugged her slender waist and kissed her passionately.

The skin is smooth and tender, and the body is soft, like a warm fire.

Then, the position suddenly reversed.

"?"

Shiraishi stared blankly at the girl riding on him, his face flushed.

At this point, there is no need to question or understand anything.

Come and do it. There was such a soft whisper in my ears.

Shiraishi, who understood everything, untied the kimono ribbon around Ruri's waist.

Against the background of the night and fireworks, the girl's half-naked figure is particularly attractive.

us……

Let's sink in together.

◎

At the end of the festival, the bustle and bustle fade away.

"Well, little girl, our store is closing, why don't you leave?"

The owner of the barbecue restaurant shouted to Shizune who was sitting outside with the cold wind blowing.

Shizune didn't seem to hear the barbecue restaurant owner's shouting. She just sat blankly on the street blown by the cold wind, looking ahead.

Why……

Why……

Why hasn’t Shiraishi-senpai come to pick me up yet?

Didn't you agree that you would pick me up after shopping with Senior Liuli?

Senior Shiraishi, you big liar!

I'll tell Tsunade-sama about this, and just wait and die, Shiraishi-senpai!

Shizune's heart was filled with grievance and anger.

(PS: I revised it many times and finally released it to my satisfaction.

Genshin Impact 1.3 will be updated tomorrow. I am both happy and disappointed because Master Ke is not the first one to be UP.

Grandpa Lu and Young Master Lu can only eat ashes in my warehouse, so what does it mean to be a mandrill?

Stop talking, Master Ke, serve me a bowl of beef offal! )
