Escape From Konoha

In the ward, time passed slowly.

Suddenly, an illusory spirit body wrapped in emerald green light rushed out of Sasuke's body on the hospital bed. Then Shiraishi, who was standing in the seal posture in front of the hospital bed, slowly opened his eyes. There was no trace of waves in his black and white eyes. .

When Ruri, Lin, and Obito saw Shiraishi open his eyes, they knew that his previous spiritual transformation technique had produced results.

Liuli was the first to ask: "How is it? Have you found any results?"

Ruri was quite concerned about Sasuke, the only member of the Konoha Uchiha clan.

With the destruction of Uchiha in Konoha, the blood of the Uchiha clan has become less and less. After all, there were only a very small number of Uchiha clansmen she took away from Konoha. Even if she implemented the policy of having more children and raising more children, But in terms of population, the total number of Uchiha clan still cannot increase.

And most of them are children. If you want to multiply into as large a number as the Konoha Uchiha clan, it is difficult to do it without time accumulation.

Therefore, Ruri is very concerned about every remaining Uchiha clan member. After all, in her opinion, Sasuke will be of marriageable age in a few years and can dedicate his life to the Uchiha clan's population expansion. share of strength.

Probably because it took too long to use the Spiritual Transformation Technique this time, Shiraishi waited until the numbness in his body slowly disappeared before he answered calmly:

"The specific reason has been figured out, but this is not the place to talk."

Hearing Bai Shi say this, Liuli looked surprised.

"Is it difficult?"

"It's not difficult to say, it's just that this child's situation is more complicated than we thought."

Shiraishi looked at Sasuke on the hospital bed with emotion. To be honest, he didn't quite believe that Sasuke would actually get entangled with the son of a fairy from thousands of years ago.

Of course, this does not mean that Sasuke is the reincarnation of Indra.

Because the souls of Indra and Sasuke are independent, at most Sasuke's personality will be affected by Indra, but generally speaking, Indra is Indra and Sasuke is Sasuke. The two are not the same person.

Moreover, even without his help, Sasuke can successfully become a famous ninja by relying on the "seed" of power left by Indra. At most, the road will be more bumpy... No, Sasuke's original path is very It was a rough time, and the hatred of genocide was always an obsession in his heart that he couldn't get over.

To untie the bell, the person who tied the bell must be tied. If you want to completely untie the knot in Sasuke's heart, I'm afraid Itachi Uchiha needs to come forward.

There is also the involvement of Konoha...

The most important thing is that he learned part of the information about Black Zetsu from Indra.

He initially thought that Black Zetsu was just a mutated individual among White Zetsu and had a close connection with Uchiha Madara, but now it seems that things may not be that simple.

If Black Zetsu has really lived for thousands of years, and started deliberately provoking a fight between Indra and Asura thousands of years ago, what is his purpose?

Baishi frowned, puzzled.

The lack of information is too little to deduce the specific purpose of Black Zetsu.

At this moment, Sasuke's fingers on the hospital bed suddenly twitched slightly twice, and he seemed to be showing signs of waking up.

Naturally, this detail was clearly seen by Shiraishi and others. Shiraishi gave up thinking and signaled the three people next to him with his eyes. The four people immediately used the teleportation technique and disappeared from the ward silently to avoid being noticed by Sasuke.

"Master Ziraiya, so you are here."

In a quiet corner of the clubhouse, Kakashi found Jiraiya, unable to move forward on his own initiative.

"I originally wanted to go find you later, but I didn't expect you to be so anxious. This is not like your style, Kakashi."

Jiraiya turned around and said to Kakashi with a smile.

It can be seen that he is in a pretty good mood.

Since the Kingdom of Ghosts came to power, he has been feeling depressed and depressed, and all kinds of pressure from the outside world have made it difficult for him to breathe.

After all, this era is no longer an era where Sannin can thrive. As ninjas, the Sannin are actually half a hundred years old. Judging from the average life span of humans in this era, they have already entered the The procession of old people.

When I do anything, I start to worry about gains and losses, and I don't have the momentum to move forward like I did when I was young.

"Well, there's something I'm quite concerned about."

Kakashi meant something.

"Is it because of Naruto?"

"Well...there's something wrong with Naruto's tailed beast state. It seems...it's not his own power."

Kakashi hesitated for a moment, staring at Jiraiya's face, as if he wanted to see something from Jiraiya's face.

But to his disappointment, Jiraiya just slowly put away his smile, shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, you asked the wrong person about this kind of thing. Although I initially guided Naruto to use the Nine-Tails Chakra, That kind of strange state is beyond my control. If you hadn't asked that, I would have thought you were up to something."

"You think highly of me, but I don't have that ability."

Kakashi denied it.

Jiraiya nodded, he didn't think Kakashi had the ability to do it.

In this way, Naruto's secrets were worth pondering.

Is it Sarutobi-sensei? Jiraiya guessed.

Then he shook his head secretly and rejected the idea.

He knew that as Hokage's mentor, he had a very complicated attitude towards Naruto. On the one hand, he wanted to take good care of Naruto out of guilt for Minato, but on the other hand, he had to consider Naruto's importance as a Jinchuriki and hoped that Take control of a powerful weapon like Naruto.

Now that Konoha's high-end power is gradually declining, it can be said that Naruto, as a jinchuriki, will be Konoha's most important combat force in the future.

From the fact that Naruto was entrusted to Kakashi's care, it can be seen that his mentor Sarutobi Hiruzen has already begun to deal with his own funeral affairs.

Thinking of the old body of his mentor Hiruzen who had been coughing from time to time in recent years, Jiraiya felt even heavier.

With the opponent's waning energy now, I'm afraid he doesn't have much time to secretly guide Naruto to use the power of the Nine Tails.

"I will investigate the secrets in this area."

Zilai also said calmly.

In fact, after excluding the answers to several questions, there is only one result left - that is, some kind of agreement has been reached between Naruto and Kyuubi.

The Nine Tails no longer interfered with Naruto's chakra, and began to actively help Naruto.

Although this guess is a bit unrealistic, there is no other answer that can explain Naruto's abnormality.

The blue-eyed boy playing with the nine-headed beast... Recalling the future predicted by the Great Toad Sage, Jiraiya became even more convinced that Naruto was the legendary son of the prophecy.

Because the future is beginning to get closer to the reality predicted by the Great Toad Immortal.

Naruto will be the key to changing the world.

"Then I will trouble you."

Regarding Naruto's affairs, Kakashi also knew that he would not be able to interfere too much in the future. The third generation intended to transfer Naruto's guidance to Jiraiya. This was no longer something he, as the ANBU minister, could control. Something happened.

Besides, he had more important things to do next and didn't have much energy to take care of Naruto.

Now Naruto is not a fledgling who just left the ninja school. He has already learned the preliminary flight. The rest of the way can only be completed by himself.

"Kakashi, your next task is to protect Uchiha Sasuke. According to my investigation, after Orochimaru left Konoha, he began to work on forbidden techniques such as reincarnation. His purpose is probably to kill Sasuke. He took possession of his body as his own and obtained the bloodline of the Uchiha clan."

While Kakashi was thinking, Jiraiya reminded him of this again.

Although Jiraiya didn't have much dealings with the Uchiha clan in the past, he also knew how powerful this family's Sharingan was.

If a dangerous person like Orochimaru were allowed to obtain the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, the consequences would be disastrous.

After Orochimaru placed a curse on Sasuke, it is conceivable that Orochimaru's ambitions have become obvious, and he has made no secret of his coveting of Sasuke.

The Uchiha ninjas that exist today, Orochimaru from the country of ghosts, dare not touch easily.

Uchiha Itachi is also a member of the Akatsuki organization and is not an easy target.

In contrast, it is reasonable for Sasuke, who has not yet grown up, to be listed as the optimal hunting target by Orochimaru.

The Kingdom of Ghosts has already made Konoha very overwhelmed. If Orochimaru, who is hostile to Konoha, is allowed to expand his power by another circle, Jiraiya will feel dizzy just thinking about it.

If Tsunade hadn't traveled around the world and been missing all year round, the pressure on him would have been reduced by at least half.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of that."

Kakashi promised to come down.

"please."

Although there were still many things that he wanted Kakashi to help with, considering how to deal with Orochimaru and the various ANBU affairs, Jiraiya knew that Kakashi's burden was not much easier than his own.

After all, there are too few ninjas with strong deterrent power in Konoha today.

After discussing with Kakashi for a while, Jiraiya left in a hurry.

His affairs are very busy, investigating the mysterious organization and Orochimaru, paying attention to the trends in various countries, teaching Naruto to become a useful person, and then he has to find Tsunade and bring her back to Konoha to succeed the fifth generation of Hokage... because Jiraiya understands that Teacher Ape Hiruzen's body is declining day by day, and he is no longer able to deal with Danzo's fighting faction. He must quickly decide on the next Hokage.

And Tsunade is the only candidate to succeed the next Hokage.

"Congratulations, you have won the grand prize!"

The kingdom of forest far away from the kingdom of ghosts.

In a casino, Tsunade sat in front of a gambling machine and looked blankly at the special prize displayed on the gambling machine. Her first reaction was not joy, but a sinking heart.

For her who is often defeated, winning the lottery is not a good sign. On the contrary, it is some kind of premonition before the bad omen comes.

And it's a special prize... Will I suffer a bloody disaster recently?

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. Sitting in front of the gambling machine, Tsunade began to fidget.

"Shizune!"

No response.

According to past habits, after she shouted this sentence, Shizune would immediately appear holding the pink pig Dolphin.

But not now.

"Really, does it take that long just to buy a lunch box?"

Tsunade bit her fingers and started to shake her legs. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong, and she was so confused.

With the silent speed, it won’t take that long to buy a packed lunch.

Moreover, with Shizune's skill as a jounin, if a battle broke out, it would not end silently. There would definitely be a commotion, giving her time to provide support.

At this moment, a voice came from my ear:

"Sister, is your name Tsunade?"

Tsunade turned her head and looked to the side.

He was a boy in plain clothes, with black ash on his face, which he probably accidentally touched while playing.

"I am, what's the matter?"

The boy glanced at Tsunade's chest and swallowed subconsciously. The man who asked him to come over was right. He was indeed the most beautiful one in the casino and had the biggest breasts.

"Well, an uncle asked me to give it to you, sister. He said he would give it to you personally."

The boy also knew that it was rude of him to stare like this, so he quickly came to his senses, took out a letter from his pocket, and handed it to Tsunade.

Tsunade calmly covered the surface of her palm with a layer of chakra. In this strange place, even a harmless boy could not be easily trusted.

Although she is a medical ninja, some poisons cannot be removed instantly. She must be careful when going out to avoid capsizing in the gutter.

After taking the letter and finding no poison on it, Tsunade opened it with confidence, took out the letter paper inside, unfolded it and glanced at it.

It didn't take long for Tsunade's face to darken.

The Kingdom of Fire, Daming Mansion.

In a cool courtyard corridor, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire lay down on his side, with the back of his head resting on the thigh of a kneeling maid. There were also several beautiful maids holding cattail fans, fanning them lightly.

Just when the Fire Country Daimyo wanted to take a nap, a messenger came over in a hurry, as if he had something urgent to report.

"What's up?"

The Fire Country Daimyo was slightly displeased, and his turbid eyes swept over the waiter's face.

"Elder Danzo asks for an audience."

The messenger did not dare to neglect and expressed his intention quickly.

The tiredness on the Fire Country Daimyo's face quickly disappeared, he sat upright on the maid's lap and waved.

The maid and the envoy withdrew wisely, leaving only the Daimyo of the Country of Fire alone.

Not long after, an old man with a gloomy face who was about the same age as the Fire Nation Daimyo walked straight up with a cane.

"Are you coming to see me this time, Danzo?"

The Fire Country Daimyo said to the gloomy old man.

Danzo frowned slightly at the Fire Country Daimyo's remarks, but was quickly relieved.

"It seems that Ri Zhan has been to your place recently."

Generally speaking, as a Hokage, if Hiruzen wanted to visit the Daming Mansion, he could not do it secretly, and he had to have detailed regulations. And in this way, every time the Hokage travels, it means that it is impossible to hide it from everyone's eyes and ears.

But now that Danzo has not learned about this, it can be known that Hiruzen carried the advisory group and the roots on his back, traveled lightly, and came to the Daiming Mansion to have some kind of cooperation with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

"After all, he is too old to do anything anymore. It is indeed time to find an heir."

The name of the Land of Fire has not been concealed.

With Danzo's mind, he could guess it quickly, and there was no point in hiding it.

"Has your lord agreed?"

"Konoha can't stand the trouble now, let alone..."

Just as the Fire Country Daimyo was about to say something, Danzo interrupted forcefully:

"Konoha must rise from the ashes. Conservative ideas have corroded Konoha for many years. It's time to make changes."

The tone is decisive, and the posture is also aggressive.

It seemed that he was also frightened by Danzo's aura, and the Fire Country Daimyo fell silent slightly.

"But I think..."

Although the Daimyo of the Land of Fire did have some fondness for Danzo in the past, now that the situation in Konoha has gradually stabilized, as a Daimyo of the country, he has to recalculate the gains and losses in his heart.

Originally, he had planned to treat the original deal as non-existent if Danzo didn't come to him.

Unfortunately, Danzo arrived as promised, leaving him in a dilemma.

"The Fifth Hokage, no one can do anything but me!"

Danzo took a step forward with a fierce momentum, looking towards the Fire Country Daimyo with burning eyes.

"..."

The face of the fire country daimyo sank slightly.

As Damingfu's ninja troops suffered heavy losses in the Rain Country War a few years ago, he had been in a passive position for the most part during several negotiations with Konoha's top brass, no longer active or equal.

Danzo's attitude towards him now and his attitude towards him a few years ago have naturally changed.

This is already forcing him to make a decision.

But soon, the dissatisfaction on the Fire Country Daimyo's face disappeared, and his face became sleepy again, as if he had lost his energy.

"Don't go too far. I don't want to see a chaotic Konoha."

"I will handle this matter properly. The daimyo just needs to wait for my good news."

Danzo nodded with satisfaction, and even his aggressive aura softened, although the dark and gloomy aura on his body still made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Then, I'm busy with my affairs, so I won't disturb the daimyo's rest. I'll take my leave."

Danzo bowed slightly, as if the previous grudge did not exist at all, turned around and left without any fuss.

Rather than talking, Danzo seemed to be here to inform, not to seek the opinion of the Fire Country Daimyo.

"It's an eventful autumn..."

The Daimyo of the Fire Country watched Danzo decisively leave and sighed quietly, as if he was worried about the future of the Fire Country.

Danzo's unstable bomb couldn't help but explode in Konoha after all.

"I hope you will be safe and sound in the future, Hiruzen..."
