Escape From Konoha

In the office, the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen rushed here overnight to deal with the sudden attack on Konoha Hospital.

There are currently two squads of ANBU stationed at Konoha Hospital, dealing with traces of the battle. As the new head of ANBU, Kakashi came over to report on the mission to Hiruzen.

After listening to Kakashi's report, Hiruzen's frown relaxed slightly.

Because in this attack, no one was killed in the line of duty. Asami Masumi, the director of the pharmacy department, was attacked and slightly injured and is currently recuperating in the hospital.

As for the attackers... Hiruzen held the medical ninja files that were urgently transferred from the hospital.

——Da Shanshun.

He is a student of the eighth class of Konoha Ninja School's medical ninja training class. He is twenty-three years old. His parents died due to the war in his early years, so he appears to be withdrawn in personality. But he usually has no bad habits, and has been working diligently for the village since graduating from the ninja school.

If this incident hadn't happened today, Hiruzen would have thought that this was a medical ninja who was loyal to Konoha.

"Are you sure he is from Qianye Baishi?"

Hiruzen was silent for a moment and asked Kakashi.

No wonder Hiruzen thought so.

Oyama Jun is the eighth student of the medical ninja training class, and Chiba Shiraishi is the first student of the medical ninja training class. If the other party wants to leave a shadow in the village, as a junior, and it is Chiba Shiraishi is familiar with the field, and it is easy to find opportunities to attack Dashanshun.

Now that Dashan Shun has been exposed, it is easy to think that the country of ghosts has begun to take action.

Kakashi answered truthfully: "It's not certain yet. According to Asami Masumi's testimony, Oyama Shun seems to have the power of the curse seal. And by the time I chased him... the other party had already been captured in the secret passage leading outside Konoha. The detonating talisman was blown up and only a few incomplete body parts could be found.”

"Curse seal?"

Hiruzen's relaxed brows knitted together again, thinking.

He didn't know if Chiba Shiraishi had studied curse seal-type techniques, but when talking about curse seals, he quickly thought of his disciple Orochimaru who had defected from the village.

When the other party was in Konoha, he studied the curse seal very deeply.

His disciple Mitarashi Anko also had traces of curse seals on his body. Even if he used sealing techniques to suppress it later, he could not stop the erosion caused by that curse seal technique at all.

It can be said that it is a very tricky technique and difficult to resolve.

"Yes. It will take some time for the specific analysis results to come out. If it is determined that the power of the curse seal on Oyama Shun and the curse seal on Mitarashi Anko are from the same source, then it can be determined that it was Orochimaru. "

Kakashi replied.

Hiruzen nodded. Since it was a curse seal, he had to suspect Orochimaru.

Moreover, Orochimaru also has the ability to place personnel in the hospital without anyone noticing.

Compared to Chiba Shiraishi, Orochimaru was more prestigious when he was in Konoha, and it was easier to recruit subordinates.

But now Orochimaru has also intervened in the situation, giving Hiruzen a headache.

It’s really a wave of ups and downs.

"Continue the search and try to find more of Dashan Shun's accomplices."

Whether it's Chiba Shiraishi or Orochimaru, these two guys are not easy to deal with.

The spies they left behind in Konoha must be dug out as much as possible and eliminated as soon as possible.

If you stay here for one more day, there will be no peace within Konoha.

"yes."

Kakashi took the order and went down.

◎

It's quiet at night.

This is an extremely empty street. The cool night wind blows the extinguished lanterns hanging in front of the store, and there is a whistling sound in the ears. The atmosphere is particularly cold.

This is the residence of the Uchiha clan.

Kabuto naturally knew this place. After the genocide incident, he sneaked in a few times, but found nothing, so he didn't pay more attention.

The main reason is that people from the Anbu and Roots often pass by here. If you are accidentally discovered by these people, you will not be able to explain how many words you have.

After all, the Konoha Uchiha clan was not completely wiped out, there was still one last survivor - Uchiha Sasuke.

Kabuto didn't expect that Orochimaru would bring him to this place, and for a while he couldn't figure out what Orochimaru's purpose was.

However, thinking about Orochimaru's failed sneak attack on Uchiha Itachi and being injured by the opponent and escaping, Kabuto felt slightly awe-inspiring.

Is it for sharing eyes?

Apart from Oni no Kuni and Akatsuki, Konoha is the only one left with a successor to the Sharingan.

Thinking about it this way, it is not surprising that the last Uchiha survivor of Konoha is targeted by Orochimaru.

Losing to a boy who is more than thirty years younger than himself is undoubtedly a shame and sorrow for a genius among the three ninjas.

Although there was no frustration at all on Orochimaru's face, Kabuto subconsciously thought so.

He semi-retired from the organization and did not meet Uchiha Itachi because he was afraid of him.

Kabuto followed Orochimaru calmly and jumped to the roof of a residential building. He looked past the guardrail and the window of the residential building next door. He could clearly see the boy sleeping in his bedroom - Uchiha Sasuke.

There was a steady sound of breathing coming from the other party's nostrils, and he was sleeping deeply. Even though he was watched by Orochimaru and Kabuto, he showed no sign of waking up.

Kabuto pressed the frame on the bridge of his nose and asked with a smile: "Does Lord Orochimaru like this orphan of the Uchiha clan very much?"

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, looking at Sasuke who was sleeping soundly, with a look of covetousness in his eyes.

He did not hide his true intention and answered Kabuto's doubts: "Yes, I like him very much. Kabuto, don't you think it is a waste of his talent to cultivate this child in Konoha? There is no such thing as him here. Room to grow quickly.”

After listening to Orochimaru's words, Kabuto didn't know what his plan was, but he still nodded.

There was also a hint of sympathy in the eyes he looked at Sasuke.

But the trace of sympathy quickly disappeared from the eyes.

Unlike himself, who had nothing from the beginning, Uchiha Sasuke always gained something and lost it later. The feeling of despair of being forced to the edge of a cliff, ready to fall into the abyss at any time, and fall into a situation of no return, has always been with Uchiha Sasuke. about.

And until revenge is successful, this despair will not leave Uchiha Sasuke.

Such is the life of an Avenger.

But on the other hand, he felt that Sasuke was happy.

At least he knows who his enemy is and has a clear motivation for revenge.

As for himself, he didn't even have a target for revenge.

He can only be like an empty shell without a soul, looking for his true self in this world full of hypocrisy and pretense.

"What does Oshemaru-sama mean?"

Open your mouth and ask.

"Let's list him as an observation target."

Orochimaru said lightly, with an unpredictable smile on his face.

Kabuto's body trembled, and a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

Being listed as an observation target is not something that can be easily brushed off.

This means that Orochimaru has really paid attention to the orphan of Konoha Uchiha, and may even use forbidden techniques to invade the opponent's body and take over the opponent's blood inheritance limit as his own.

"Are you surprised, Dou?"

Orochimaru squinted at the bag, and asked with interest.

Kabuto quickly lowered his head and replied calmly: "No, I just think this is too hasty? In any case, the other party is just a child under ten years old. The talent he has shown is comparable to that of his contemporaries. Compared with Uchiha Itachi... If it's for writing sharing eyes, Uchiha Itachi's body I think is better."

Indeed, although Sasuke Uchiha is also called a genius, there is a gap between geniuses and geniuses.

In terms of ninja talent, Uchiha Itachi is almost comparable to the fourth generation of Naruto Namikaze Minato.

At least when Namikaze Minato was thirteen years old, it was difficult to fight against a ninja at the level of Sannin.

But Uchiha Itachi was able to defeat Orochimaru with the power of Sharingan.

It has to be said that Blood Successor Boundary is indeed domineering.

But Dou believes that as long as Orochimaru wants to get Uchiha Itachi's body, there are many ways, not necessarily to defeat the opponent head-on, and then plunder the body.

"It's too troublesome, and Itachi is still useful to the organization, so it's not easy to start now. I originally wanted to get the secret of the Sharingan from Uchiha Ruri, but after I saw the tip of the iceberg of Hyuga Ayane's strength, I knew Uchiha Ruri is not a ninja that I can deal with for the time being. The War of the Wind Country also proved this."

A layman only saw Chiba Shiraishi's power to wipe out thousands of sand ninjas in an instant.

However, on the battlefield of the Land of Wind, according to statistics, it was Uchiha Ruri who caused the greatest casualties to Sahid.

If Matdai of Konoha hadn't used the life-threatening forbidden art Eight Door Dungeon and successfully injured Uchiha Ruri, three thousand Sunagakure and Kazekage Rasa would have been wiped out by Uchiha Ruri alone.

This is no longer a field he can peek into.

That's why he shifted his target to Itachi.

He just didn't expect that a thirteen-year-old kid could possess terrifying power that made him fearful.

Sharingan is terrifying, far beyond his imagination.

The more this happened, the more Orochimaru felt angry and regretful.

The limit of blood inheritance... Even as a genius, I couldn't help but feel strong jealousy.

Come to understand.

It can't deal with Uchiha Ruri, nor can it deal with Uchiha Itachi, and the rest of the Uchiha tribe are all over there in the Kingdom of Demons, and they can't infiltrate either.

Therefore, if you want to study the secret of Sharingan, the only one left is Uchiha Sasuke, the orphan of Konoha Uchiha.

This is Orochimaru's choice.

"I understand, Lord Orochimaru, I will arrange to send Uchiha Sasuke away from Konoha as soon as possible."

Kabuto answered quickly and took the initiative to take on the task.

"No, let Uchiha Sasuke stay here."

The smile on Orochimaru's face was a little weird.

"Stay here? With all due respect, the education in the ninja school cannot be compared with the elite education of Master Orochimaru. From a growth perspective, I don't think Uchiha Sasuke can get a good education here."

Take a look of loyal consideration for Orochimaru.

"Kabuto, you still don't understand the specialness of the Sharingan. Although Konoha cannot cultivate Uchiha Sasuke into a talent, it can allow Sasuke to obtain the so-called bond of the will of fire... Then use power to induce Sasuke, so that By cutting off these bonds with his own hands, Sasuke can gain immense darkness in an instant, and his Sharingan will be sublimated as a result, and he may even open the Mangekyo Sharingan."

Orochimaru laughed sinisterly, extremely evil.

"Really? Now that Lord Orochimaru has made his choice, I will try my best to pay attention to the growth of Uchiha Sasuke."

Dou shrugged his shoulders.

"This is Danzo's method of taming Uchiha Itachi. I'm just borrowing it for now. However, I'm very pleased that you can observe the child Uchiha Sasuke on my behalf. I won't argue with you about Oyama Jun's matter. Well, after all, your talent is above that of Dashanshun, and it won’t be the same for others."

Orochimaru looked at Kabuto with his snake eyes, an appreciative smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

Kabuto knew that he was safe for the time being and would not be liquidated by Orochimaru.

Orochimaru nodded with satisfaction, formed seals with his hands, and disappeared on the roof of the building in a puff of smoke.

"Just a shadow clone has such a terrifying aura... He is truly worthy of Orochimaru-sama..."

Kabuto sighed and glanced at Uchiha Sasuke, who was still sleeping peacefully in the bedroom of the residential building across the street. His figure flickered and disappeared.

◎

next morning.

"I didn't expect that not only the Roots and Anbu, but now Orochimaru is also involved. The situation is getting more and more complicated."

In the ward, Masumi Asami, who was recovering from her injuries, was standing by the window in a white coat, looking at the scenery outside the window.

"It has nothing to do with Orochimaru, it's just that guy Kabuto Yakushi who made his own decision. He seems to be interested in the magic of Mt. Myoboku."

Kakashi stood not far away, leaning against the wall and answered.

"Kabuto Yakushi? The adopted son of Yakushi Nonou?"

Asami Masumi seemed to remember something.

"you know?"

Kakashi glanced at Asami Masumi in surprise.

"In the past, in the first medical ninja training class at the Ninja School, one day a transfer student came who was a few years older than us, Yakushi Nonou. Because she joined halfway, I paid a little attention to her. But after a few Within a few weeks, the other party suddenly left. Later, I kept hearing that she was working in other departments, and then went to become the director of an orphanage... After that, I rarely heard about her. "

Asami Masumi thought of these old things.

"She is Danzo's subordinate."

Kakashi replied.

He has read some files in the Roots and knows some of the secrets of the Roots in the past.

Among them was recorded information about 'Yakushi Nonou', but the records were ominous and had obvious traces of graffiti.

At the end of the file, there is also the word "Sacrificial".

It is conceivable that pharmacist Nonoyu has died in the line of duty because of his root mission.

When exactly it happened, there is no detailed record in the file. There is also no relevant record of what task he died on.

It can be said that he is a quite secretive root member.

"I know that later she did not join the Konoha hospital system. It must have been Danzo's arrangement for her. After all, the underground power of the root organization is very large, and it is difficult to obtain its secrets."

There are many secrets in the roots that outsiders don't know. Even Kakashi doesn't know everything about the roots.

There are only two people who truly know all the secrets of the roots.

One is the founder Danzo.

The other is Danzo's deputy, Aburame Ryoma.

Neither Danzo nor Aburame Ryoma are easy to mess with.

Needless to say about Danzo, Aburame Ryoma Kakashi has never seen him take action, but he was entrusted with important tasks by Danzo not only because of loyalty issues, but also because of his strength.

If you want to serve as Danzo's deputy, without absolute strength, it is difficult to gain a foothold at the root.

As for Aburame Ryoma serving as the deputy leader of the root, the other root members have no objections. It is conceivable that Aburame Ryoma's strength and prestige are worthy of recognition.

"So, is there any possibility that he can be recruited? This kind of lost and struggling lamb is the most suitable person to be on our side."

Asami Masumi said with a smile.

Refers to the pharmacist's pocket.

If the opponent can be valued by Orochimaru, there must be no problem with his ability.

It's just that because of the spy mission, he deliberately behaved inconspicuously in Konoha so as not to attract attention.

Kakashi pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head and replied: "Not for the time being. Kabuto Yakushi is too afraid of Orochimaru, and if he contacts him rashly now, he might betray him."

Unlike spies like him who deliberately stay away from all forces, the other party is obviously denying himself.

Although it is possible to win over such a person, it is not suitable to win over now because they are unstable.

Instability means that accidents are prone to occur, and accidents may cause mistakes in their work, and they will be targeted by people above.

In Kakashi's view, Kabuto Yakushi is such a person at this stage.

Even if it is confirmed that he is someone who can be recruited, it is definitely not now. We still need to wait for a suitable time.

"That's a pity..."

Asami Masumi said regretfully.

Since Kakashi said this, he could only suppress this idea for the time being.

"How's your injury?"

Kakashi asked again, asking about Asami Masumi's injuries.

"It's okay. In order to appear more realistic, I will return to normal work in two days."

Asami Masumi's face was calm.

She didn't pay much attention to Dashan Shun's sneak attack.

If there are a few more guys of this level, it won't be a problem to deal with them.

If it weren't for the ANBU stationed around, she would have chosen to directly control Dashan Shun last night, interrogate the information personally, and then deal with it secretly.

Now that the hospital has been completely monitored by the Anbu, many of her actions will be restricted, especially the need to hide her true strength.

"Then I'm relieved. No, this should be expected."

Kakashi didn't really believe that Asami Masumi would suffer a serious injury because of that level of sneak attack.

"So, what is the purpose of Orochimaru sneaking into Konoha this time?"

Asami Masumi asked.

She needs to collect more information, modify the plan of the recent action, and try to avoid the influence of Orochimaru in Konoha as much as possible, so as not to reveal her identity.

"We don't know yet, and the person who entered Konoha should be just a clone of Orochimaru, and his true body has not come. However, if you pay attention to Yakushi Kabuto's movements later, you can probably guess who Orochimaru is coming to Konoha this time. What is the main purpose?"

It is unrealistic to stare at Orochimaru, the breakthrough can only be opened from Yaoshi's pocket.

"Next, I'll find someone to watch over the pharmacist's pocket, and don't relax on your side."

"Understood. After talking about the matter, I will leave first. There are still many things for me to deal with in Anbu."

Kakashi nodded, then turned and left the ward, leaving Asami Masumi alone to rest in the ward.

◎

a week later.

The country of ghosts, the military research institute.

Shiraishi held the research materials sent from Konoha. Not only the research data on drugs to eliminate chakra poison, but also the analysis data on the Pseudo Immortal Talisman was also sent over for Shiraishi to read after the analysis was completed.

Although there is no sample of the pseudo-Sage Talisman, as long as you know the composition and operation of the spell, it is not too troublesome to use Senjutsu Chakra to imitate the spell.

"Is this the senjutsu information from Mount Myoki, Teacher Shiraishi? The composition of the technique is somewhat different from the senjutsu we use."

Shiraishi's disciple Nohara Rin also stood next to Shiraishi, watching the magical information on Miaomu Mountain with him.

After a quick glance, Lin kept it in mind and had a preliminary grasp of Miaomu Mountain's magic.

After all, no matter how much magic changes, its essence remains the same.

That is the combination of chakra and natural energy.

"Indeed, but we don't need to learn the magic of Miaomu Mountain. We only need to simulate the magic in the Pseudo Immortal Talisman. It will be much easier to find a way to crack it when the time comes."

"Yeah, it's ugly to turn into a toad."

Lin touched her nose. She was also a girl and cared about her appearance.

The magic of Miaomu Mountain will cause some of the characteristics of human beings to shift towards toads, especially the nose will be swollen, which is not very beautiful for girls.

"Then I will assist Mr. Shiraishi and simulate the composition of the Pseudo-Sage Talisman as soon as possible."

Lin volunteered.

Shiraishi smiled at Lin and shook his head and said: "No, I just have nothing to do recently. I can finish it by spending some time alone. And you have been working by my side these years, either practicing immortality or doing tail work." Controlling the beast chakra, let yourself relax once in a while.”

"But even if I relax, I don't know how to relax at all."

Lin tilted her head, a little at a loss.

She has become accustomed to the research work here from morning to night at the institute. After all, this is her job.

Researching tailed beast technology also assists in drug research and development to further improve the medical system of the Demon Country.

"Where's that kid Obito? You can go out and play together."

"We went out together on our days off... However, I don't know if it's a misunderstanding, but the way he looks at me lately seems to be getting more and more obscene."

Lynn thought about it.

"After all, you are not young now, are you? That boy has always been lustful but not courageous. It's really hard for him."

Shiraishi meant something.

"Well?"

Lin looked down at her figure, which was becoming more and more feminine, and realized that she was no longer the little girl she used to be.

"What does Teacher Shiraishi mean?"

"There happens to be a task in hand that is suitable for Obito to go out to do. You can disguise yourself and go out with Obito for a trip. After all, the Uchiha clan has such a small population now. As young people, you should also take the initiative to set an example. "

"More than this, Teacher Shiraishi probably wants to gain more control over Obito."

Lin seemed to see through Shiraishi's inner thoughts for a moment, and laughed.

"Ahem, there is no such thing. It's just that the current national policy happens to encourage young people to have children. Compared with big countries, the population of the Ghost Country is still a little too small. I am thinking about the future of the country."

"I still feel suspicious."

"Well, there's no need to doubt my purpose. After all, Obito is a very good man, isn't he?"

"Well, he is quite obedient, just like having a puppy at home."

Lin thought for a moment and said this.

"..."

Shiraishi didn't know where to complain.

"So, what is the mission given to us?"

Lin asked about business.

Shiraishi took the research information Fang Xi in his hand and replied: "In the deal with Akatsuki, they previously ordered a batch of arms from the Kingdom of Ghosts. I thought about it and Obito's Space-Time Eye Technique can be used to load the goods. You can save a lot of money on shipping.”

"That's it. I didn't expect that not only the five major countries, but also the Kingdom of Rain has started to take action?"

"Then I'll leave it to you. The transportation costs saved can be used to sponsor your travel."

Lin nodded, said goodbye to Shiraishi, and walked outside the laboratory.
