Escape From Konoha

Returning to the temple in Longdi Cave, the White Snake Immortal was sitting on the throne, holding a pipe in his mouth, and began to smoke clouds happily.

Different from the posture during the battle just now, although the current White Snake Sage still exudes amazing magic chakra from time to time, his aura seems harmless, and the aura of magic chakra is no longer violent, but full of peace.

Baishi and Liuli stood in front of Immortal White Snake, but compared to Immortal White Snake's comfort, although their injuries were not serious, their postures looked a bit embarrassed.

After looking at each other, Shiraishi was the first to speak: "White Snake Immortal, can you tell me in detail about Miaomu Mountain?"

Immortal White Snake seemed to know that Baishi would ask such a question. After Baishi said this, he puffed out a puff of smoke and said leisurely, "Human, how much do you know about Miaomu Mountain?"

Baishi thought for a while, and replied to the White Snake Immortal: "He holds immortal art, and there are many powerful beings in it. Their common leader is the Great Toad Immortal, who has the magical ability to prophesy. It is said that the Six Paths Immortal a thousand years ago also said this. Eye-catching, has a lot to do with Immortal Toad."

"You know a lot."

Immortal White Snake nodded slightly.

For ordinary people, knowing that Mount Miaomu can use fairy arts, and the leader is a big toad fairy, and possesses the power of prophecy, is enough to be called a deep understanding.

But the relationship between the other party and the Six Paths Immortal is unknown. This is very top-secret information.

After all, the era thousands of years ago is too long for people today, and much of history was lost in wars.

"Since you know that the stinky toad and the Sage of the Six Paths were a very good old acquaintance, then you should also know that that stinky toad never does meaningless things, and doesn't bother to do such things. Its prophecy ability It’s also genuine and not something used to deceive people.”

When the White Snake Immortal said this, he took a deep look at Bai Shi.

"Of course, I never thought that that kind of prophecy was just a fictitious thing. It's just that it was only something that the big toad fairy himself believed. The white snake fairy can think that I don't believe in fate very much, and I don't like my own. Life is defined by other people's 'prophecies'... If everyone has to act according to the so-called 'script' of the Great Toad Immortal, including you, the White Snake Immortal, would you be willing?"

Shiraishi cleverly changed the topic and looked at the White Snake Immortal with a faint smile.

He actually didn't take Miaomushan's prediction very seriously at the beginning. At first, I just thought prophecy was more interesting. To put it bluntly, Miaomushan's prophecy is just an application of fairy magic.

Even though he was regarded as the so-called 'Son of Destruction', Shiraishi laughed it off. As long as his bottom line is not specifically touched, there will definitely be a mentality to be on guard against Mount Miaomu, but it will not be completely opposed... After all, it is a holy place that has been passed down for thousands of years, and Baishi does not want to provoke too many enemies for no reason.

The situation in the human world is already complicated enough, and there is no need to involve psychic beasts. However, Miaomushan's subsequent behavior broke this bottom line and went to the opposite side of the ghost country. This is the main reason Shiraishi had to attack him.

The White Snake Immortal continued to smoke the clouds with the pipe in his mouth, and did not mind Shiraishi's disrespectful words.

It doesn't bother to pay a single glance to the weak, but the two humans in front of it are rare talents, and it doesn't mind communicating with them on an equal footing.

"Foretelling this kind of thing, those who need it, will regard it as a treasure, like a person who fell into the water, grabbing the last straw; Worthless... Mt. Miaomu's "Tao" is to make a choice in the future, and be optimistic about a certain destiny that will exist in the future, and then use one's own power to interfere in the material world, and finally find a certain core person to facilitate that A result is born.”

"This core figure is the Son of Prophecy, right?"

Baishi was thoughtful.

Liu Li on the side also snorted softly, as if feeling very dissatisfied with Miaomu Shan's behavior.

Immortal White Snake nodded his huge head, and continued: "That's right, the Son of Prophecy represents a certain 'established future' in Miaomushan's prophecy. And sooner or later, such a guy will have very powerful power to push The result of the prophecy appeared. Just like thousands of years ago, the stinky toad assisted the Sage of the Six Paths and defeated Otsutsuki Kaguya."

"But, Immortal White Snake, what does this have to do with my attack on Mount Miaomu?"

Shiraishi frowned puzzled.

He is not very interested in the matter of the Son of Prophecy, or in other words, his goal is only to let Miao Mushan withdraw from the stage, not to deal with the so-called Son of Prophecy.

In Baishi's view, the Son of Prophecy might just be an object used by the Great Toad Immortal, and is essentially just a 'tool' to realize that 'future', and he has no need to deal with such a 'tool'.

Immortal White Snake smacked his mouth, exhaled smoke rings, and stared at Baishi with his pair of golden vertical pupils: "Your purpose is to unite with the old body and force Miaomushan to not interfere with you in your subsequent actions. It is possible to annihilate Miaomu Mountain's vital forces and complete your own strategic goals... This kind of strategy is very good, every step is very calm, you have never overestimated yourself, and you have never underestimated others. But I still want to tell you one thing - if you do this, it is tantamount to Meaningless."

"Meaningless?"

Shiraishi frowned even more tightly.

"After the accurate results of observing the 'future' from Mount Myoboku are obtained, it means that your biggest enemy in the future is not Mount Myoboku, but the 'savior' identified by Mount Myoboku."

"The so-called 'savior' in the prophecy is just a tool used by the toads. I have no interest in these things. I just need to achieve my goal. The problem must be dealt with at the root, not on the surface. s things."

Baishi looked at Immortal White Snake and expressed his thoughts.

"Is this the root of the problem?" The White Snake Immortal seemed to sense the firm belief in Bai Shi's heart. He didn't know whether he agreed or rejected it, but just continued: "Well, I'll stop here. Since you still have to be stubborn, I I will not interfere with your decision. So, I will give you two options now. The first option, as mentioned before, is that attacking Miaomu Mountain is meaningless and you need to give up this idea. "

"What about the second option?"

Shiraishi skipped this option without thinking.

"I can agree to attack Mount Miaomu with you, but I can't guarantee success."

The voice of Immortal White Snake calmed down.

"What's the meaning?"

The expression on Shiraishi's face was a little surprised.

Immortal White Snake didn't say anything clearly, but let go of the pipe in his mouth, spit out a scroll from his mouth, and rolled it in front of Baishi.

"This kind of thing can't be explained for a while. The specific information is written on it. After you take it back, study it carefully. If you still choose the second option then, join forces with me to attack Miaomu Mountain. Also follow the results of the previous temptations and stay with us until the end. When we attack Mount Miaomu, just send someone over to let us know."

After Immortal White Snake finished speaking, he stopped talking, slowly closed his vertical pupils, and fell into a deep sleep.

Baishi picked up the scroll on the ground, didn't take it apart to check it immediately, but bent over to Immortal White Snake.

"Then, Immortal White Snake, I will take my leave. When the time comes, I will send someone over to make an announcement."

After all, Baishi didn't disturb Immortal White Snake's rest, he exchanged a glance with Liuli, walked along the red steps, and began to return to the way he came.

After Baishi and Liuli left and the aura disappeared from the temple, Immortal White Snake opened his eyes again.

"Pity……"

These two human beings are rare strong men among humans, and their power has far reached its peak, and there is still room for further advancement.

However, what makes the White Snake Immortal regretful is that they don't seem to be very interested in the Longdi Cave Contract. And after learning the magic of immortality, it doesn't make much sense to learn the magic of Longdi Cave.

As an immortal, it must maintain its majesty and cannot personally invite humans to sign a contract with Longdi Cave.

Miaomu Mountain, Shigu Forest, and the Longdi Cave it leads all have their own set of codes of conduct. It is impossible for it to take the initiative to sign a contract with humans.

Therefore, although he felt regretful, the White Snake Immortal quickly cheered up and returned to his normal appearance.

The rest of my life is still very long, and maybe in the near future, other outstanding humans will come to Longdi Cave again to seek the power of immortality.

I just hope that the seekers will not be misled by the "power" itself and become the slaves of "power". In that case, they will not be able to inherit the magic of Longdi Cave and will only become food in its belly.

"Humans... are really interesting existences. Stinky toad, it seems that you have met your opponent this time. Anyway, rather than dying in the hands of humans, it is better to let me see you off for the last time."

The golden vertical pupils of the White Snake Immortal were filled with cold murderous intent, almost freezing the entire space.

Although Shiraishi's answer has not yet been given, Immortal White Snake knows that this human being will not give up easily.

A battle with Mount Myoboku is bound to happen!

"Give you the ultimate glory..."

◎

Where the Wolf Cries.

The originally magnificent building has been reduced to ruins.

The cold air frozen in the air was bone-chilling, making this place feel like a prison.

The people lying on the ground were all on their knees, afraid to take a deep breath.

In front of them, stood a girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, followed by a wandering miko from the Kingdom of Ghosts, and several ninjas from the Kingdom of Ghosts wearing chakra armor.

"Really, don't ask me to repeat the same thing multiple times. Hand over all the principals and accomplices who attacked the ghost country's medicine caravan that day, and pay three times the cost of the medicine lost that day. This matter will be settled. It’s past, Mr. Village Chief.”

The girl, that is, Kazuhime, who rushed to the Crying Wolf in accordance with Shiraishi's order to deal with the attack on the medicine caravan in the Kingdom of Demons, she said to the man kneeling in front of her.

The man who is the village chief is about forty years old. He is a little fat, but it is not puffy, but the muscles have expanded, making his body look very big. It is conceivable that this man usually pays great attention to his own exercise.

However, even this powerful force is as fragile as a paper tiger in front of Yiji.

The man never thought that this little girl, who seemed to be less than one-third of his weight, could easily surpass him in strength.

However, even though he was not the girl's opponent, the village head man did not show any fear in his eyes. Instead, he raised his head stubbornly and stood up slowly under tremendous pressure, showing that he would not give in to violence, and replied with a righteous attitude:

"Miss, I don't know what you are talking about. But your behavior has seriously damaged the stability of the Crying Wolf. If you don't stop, I will ask the great names of the Water Country and the Fire Country, Jointly prosecute your charges and bring you to justice!"

Facing the village chief's stern words, Ichiji's face remained unchanged. Knowing that this man would not admit to attacking the Ghost Country caravan, she turned to the wandering miko next to her and asked: "The identities of the principal and accomplices." Has everything been investigated?"

After all, this attack was very bad. Dozens of people from the caravan who came to Cry Wolf to buy medicine were injured and one person died. Due to emotional and rational reasons, the attackers here need to give an explanation.

The Wandering Witch nodded, indicating that the investigation was clear. She silently pointed her finger at the village chief man in front of her, and then pointed at some of the people around her, indicating that these people were the principal and accomplices of the attack on the Ghost Country caravan that day.

After being identified by the wandering witch, the village chief's expression changed, and then he thought of something and began to calm down.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I will truthfully report this matter to the daimyos of the Fire and Water Kingdoms."

"In that case, I'll ask you to stay in the prison of the Kingdom of Demons for a while. As for the external negotiations with the daimyo of the two countries, I won't bother you, the village chief. Take these people away."

Ichiji gave the order indifferently.

"yes!"

Ninjas from the Kingdom of Ghosts wearing chakra armor walked forward and detained the people they just identified. Ignoring their struggles and resistance, they were all taken back to the Country of Ghosts for trial.

Seeing that the matter was over, Yiji no longer wanted to stay here any longer, so she prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, when he saw the man turning around, a glint suddenly appeared in the eyes of the village chief. When the ninja from the Kingdom of Ghosts was not paying attention, he quickly took out a blowpipe from his arms and put it to his mouth.

"Miss! Be careful!"

It was too late for the Ninja of Ghost Country to go up and stop it.

I saw a marble flying out of the blower and hitting Ichi Ji's back.

Kazuji seemed to be aware of it, turned around quickly, and drew out the Kusanagi sword from her waist to block the bullet that was fired at her.

"Haha, idiot!"

When the village chief saw Yi Ji's defensive actions, he burst out laughing mockingly.

The marble hit the blade of the Kusanagi sword and exploded instantly, erupting into thick flames, swallowing Ichiki's body into the firelight generated by the explosion, and the flames burned fiercely.

"I call you arrogant. Now you finally have a taste of how powerful I am. As long as there is this kind of weapon, it will be a country of ghosts..."

The village chief man held the blowpipe tightly in his hand, with an extremely excited smile on his face.

"Even if it's a kingdom of ghosts... how about it?"

A plain voice came from the firelight and fell clearly into the ears of the village chief man.

After hearing this familiar voice, the smiling face of the village chief man froze.

He couldn't believe it as he looked at Yiji who walked out of the fire unscathed, and began to stutter: "How, how could it be possible? How could you stop it!?"

He asked as if he was crazy. All the ninjas he had sneak attacked in the past were all injured by the explosion of this weapon. Even if they did not die on the spot, they were seriously injured to the point of dying.

In the face of such an explosion, how could it be possible to remain unscathed?

Fake! All are fake!

The man who was the village chief raised the blowpipe again and put it to his mouth, preparing to attack Yiji again.

However, when he put the blowpipe to his mouth, Yi Ji had already held a short flintlock gun in his hand, aimed the gun, and then ruthlessly pulled the trigger.

boom!

There was almost no gap, and the explosion occurred in the chest of the village chief man.

Suffering the impact of the explosion, the village chief man flew out, vomiting blood, and rolled several meters on the ground before he could stop.

The blowpipe that fired explosive marbles also broke away from his hand and rolled to the side of the road.

"It seems that my bullets fire faster."

Yi Ji put the smoking flintlock gun back into the gun clip on her waist. Ignoring the unconscious village chief man lying there, she walked to the blowpipe and picked it up.

"Is this the firearm you used to deal with ninjas in Wolf Cry? It's a little more boring than you thought. Although it's powerful... it always feels like a product from the last era, and it's too inconvenient to use."

Yi Ji played with it twice, and then threw it aside out of boredom.

"Take them all away."

Seeing the trembling looks of the other prisoners, Yiji knew that the overall situation here was decided.

"yes!"

After Yi Ji's intimidation, these prisoners who were engaged in attacking the Ghost Country caravan actually calmed down, knowing that there was no point in resisting. Therefore, the next escort work of the Ninja from the Country of Ghost became very smooth.

…

As the villagers of Wolf Cry Village watched, Kazuhime and a group of Ghost Country ninjas escorted a dozen people from Wolf Cry Village away, and put chakra-limiting torture devices on them to prevent accidents on the way. .

Faced with this situation, although the people in Wolf Crying Village were determined to come to the rescue, they did not have the courage to fight against the ninjas of the Demon Country who could easily deal with the armed forces of Wolf Crying Village.

Moreover, this kind of thing was originally their fault. Who let their village chief dare to provoke even the people of the ghost country by taking advantage of the foxes and tigers of other big countries? He even thought that what he was doing was secret enough that the Kingdom of Ghosts couldn't find out at all. Therefore, it is only natural for others to come to the door to settle the liquidation.

In the final analysis, it was just jealousy of the arms business of the Ghost Kingdom, which was so booming, that the firearms in the Wolf Crying Village were not interested in the firearms. Crying Wolf, who obtained huge wealth by selling medicinal materials, also wants to obtain more wealth and enrich his life by selling arms. Then, the Kingdom of Ghosts is their biggest obstacle in the arms market... The root cause of everything that is happening now has actually been laid long ago.

"It seems like it won't be long before this village will also fall under the surveillance of the Kingdom of Ghosts."

Kisame, who watched all this in the crowd, laughed, looking at this kind of thing from the perspective of a passerby.

"Follow-up processing is very troublesome. After all, the Wolf Crying Village has a deep cooperative relationship with other major countries. We will not let the Kingdom of Ghosts do whatever they want. It might cause another turmoil, but we don't know who will benefit in the end."

Itachi, who was standing next to Kisame, lowered his head as much as possible and covered his face with a bamboo hat. Only the sound came out.

"The diplomatic confrontation between major powers has nothing to do with us, and it is not something we can get involved in." After Kisame finished speaking, he turned to look at Itachi: "How is it, Itachi, have you got the medicine you wanted to buy?"

Itachi nodded.

"We've got it, now it's time to return to Yuyin Village and have a good rest. Let's wait until the next year to discuss our next actions."

After saying that, Itachi turned around and walked, quickly disappearing from the crowd.

Kisame shrugged helplessly and followed Itachi's footsteps.

◎

Fire Nation.

Daming Mansion, in the castle tower.

Two figures sat opposite each other on the floor, with a tea table in the middle. After making the tea, the maid in kimono bowed and left, leaving only the two of them.

"Your Excellency Fire Daimyo, the Ninja Village in your country has been in a lot of trouble recently. Is there really no problem if this continues?"

After the maid left, the slightly fat man picked up the tea cup and took a sip, with a sharp gleam in his narrow eyes.

The thin man opposite, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, was frowning in distress and said: "I didn't expect such an accident to happen to Danzo. It seems that he really didn't. It suits the Hokage. However, fortunately, Tsunade has returned to Konoha now, which has temporarily stabilized people's hearts and prevented things from getting to the worst point."

"So, do you need me to hunt down Orochimaru together?"

"I don't need your help for the time being, Mr. Feng Daimyo. One Orochimaru can't make any waves. Our biggest enemy right now is the country of ghosts."

The fire country daimyo said lightly.

The slightly fat Daimyo from the Country of Wind showed a thoughtful expression.

"Speaking of which, what happened in Crying Wolf should not have been leaked, right?"

"Don't worry, although that greedy guy caused some accidents in the plan, I sent people to eliminate all the 'evidence' in advance, and the Kingdom of Ghosts will never notice it."

The fire country daimyo responded with a generous tone.

"In this way, the medicines needed for the war are basically ready. Moreover, the daimyo and water shadows of the country of water, because of the popular riots in the country, hate the country of ghosts and begin to agree to our plan. The land of the earth The country also plans to come in and get a share of the pie, but the Kingdom of Thunder..."

When the name of the Kingdom of Wind said this, he frowned visibly.

Obviously, he was rejected by the country of thunder.

"As long as our four countries unite, the Kingdom of Thunder will surely come to take advantage of us. This is unquestionable. They have had this kind of face in the past."

"So, is this the right time?"

The daimyo of the country of wind asked a question.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire nodded and said: "Only the Hokage has not been informed, because Tsunade has just taken up the position of the fifth Hokage, and the third Hokage Hiruzen was unfortunately killed, so she is not aware of our plan. . Find a time in the next year to let her know the plan here. Her medical ninjutsu and her psychic beast can play a key role in the war."

"Then please. But I still didn't expect that a rebel ninja could grow to this point. The Kingdom of Wind suffered from his calculations and lost so much territory. It's really hateful!"

The daimyo of the country of wind couldn't help gnashing his teeth.

The Daimyo of the Country of Fire calmly watched the Daimyo of the Country of Wind gritting his teeth. Until the other person's expression softened, he slowly took a sip of tea and said in an indifferent tone:

"Yes, the harm of Qianye Baishi does not lie in one country or one village. He is shaking the great foundation that our ancestors have spent thousands of years building. He is making an enemy of the entire world. It must be controlled now. As he and the Kingdom of Ghosts grow, all the people and things related to him must be eradicated, and no one left behind will be wiped out!"

(PS: I’m going to pick up the computer today, and the update will be restored to the normal evening time tomorrow... Also, it’s almost the last volume, and there’s not much content left. Finally, I won’t write Boruto, so don’t ask anymore.)
