Escape From Konoha

"The forbidden art of reincarnation...Does Sunagakure Village actually possess such a technology?"

After finishing Hidan's finishing work, Aya took Kaoru and Yamazaki Ku, and found Haruka Hanami, who also came to support them, and Kirie, who was a shrine maiden affiliated with the Demon Country, in a forest clearing not far away.

Hanami Haruka heard from Hanami Haruka that the retired elder of Sunagakure Village used the reincarnation forbidden technique to resurrect Gaara who had been deprived of one of his tails. Instantly, Aya and the others opened their eyes in surprise, feeling extremely excited about this news. surprise.

Forbidden magic is a double-edged sword. Both its practice and its execution have risks and hidden dangers that affect the practitioner, but it also means that the effect of the magic technique is extraordinary.

For example, the art of spiritualization, the Eight Gates Dunjia, and other forbidden arts that have been recorded in various villages.

Among these forbidden arts, there are extensions of abilities involving sealing, defense, attack, soul, etc. However, forbidden arts that reverse the cause and effect of life and death are very rare.

Currently, the only forbidden technique that reverses the cause and effect of life and death that is well known to the senior officials of each village is the Reincarnation of the Earth, which was pioneered by the second Hokage of Konoha.

But even the reincarnation of the dirty land is not actually a true reversal of life and death, but a fight to turn the dead into the living dead.

Before that, Aya had only gotten some news by chance while chatting with her mother. Her father Shiraishi seemed to have mastered this kind of forbidden reincarnation technique, which could reverse the cause and effect of life and death and truly resurrect the dead.

Apart from this, Cai had never heard of a second ninja in the ninja world who mastered such a forbidden technique.

Of course, the destroyed Miaomu Mountain seems to have a corresponding inheritance.

Shigu Forest, which has also been passed down for thousands of years and is named for medical treatment, does not have this kind of technique.

"It seems that the evaluation of Sunagakure Village's strength will be improved in the future. If such a forbidden technique is used on key figures, it may be able to reverse the direction of a war."

Cai started to mutter.

What an incredible thing it is to bring the dead back to life.

Unexpectedly, Sunagakure, who was at the bottom of the big country ninja village, would have such skills, which made Sai couldn't help but sigh at the strength of these big country ninja villages. Even though it has been weakened over the years, its foundation still exists, and it is not a behemoth that small countries can contend with.

"But using such a forbidden technique seems to consume one's own life force... Even if Konoha's Jinchuriki seems to be partially offset by Mt. Myoboku's senjutsu, I think that the elder Chiyo has only a few years left to live. ”

Hanami Haruka expressed his opinion.

When Chiyo performed the forbidden technique of reincarnation, she was on the spot and witnessed the entire process.

As a senior medical ninja, she naturally knew the price Chiyo paid to save Gaara.

Otherwise, as the opponent's medical ninja, he might still be able to survive for more than ten years before he dies.

"As expected, the reincarnation technique is a forbidden technique, and every time it is used, a corresponding price must be paid. If the opponent does not have the inheritance of the immortal technique of Shigu Forest, it cannot convert the immortal technique into vitality to offset the side effects of the forbidden technique. "

Cai nodded, then frowned, and a look of confusion flashed in her eyes.

"What's wrong, Cai?"

As if she felt that Cai had something on her mind, Huajianyao asked curiously.

"It's a little weird."

Cai touched her chin, thinking about something.

"strangeness?"

"I heard that Chiyo has a strong personality and is extremely cold. Even if she reaches the age of retirement, she will not be the type of ninja who would sacrifice herself to help others. After all...a Jinchuriki who has lost his tailed beast , is no longer a Jinchuuriki."

Or is that Chiyo really optimistic about Gaara's future? Cai secretly guessed in her heart.

Although Gaara's strength is indeed very strong, with his own strength alone, he can fight at the level of the Five Kages at this age, and his potential is endless.

With a little training, he will undoubtedly become the new pillar of Sunagakure.

But when I think about the various rumors about Chiyo when she was young, and the close relationship between her and Gaara... she is so generous that she sacrifices her own life force to save the other person? Cai Bai was puzzled by this point.

This is not like the style of the elder Qiandai.

No one wants to die if they can live.

Death seems simple, but the more difficult it is to do.

"What complicated reasons could there be for this? Maybe you feel that your own time has passed, paving the way for future ninjas?"

Yamazaki Hisashi said this.

"The relationship between Gaara and the Fourth Kazekage is not good. It would be a good thing if they don't cause trouble to Sunagakure Village."

Cai shook his head. He knew that Gaara had secretly assassinated his father during this operation, which showed the huge gap between father and son.

Therefore, even if Chiyo resurrects Gaara, it does not mean that Gaara's power will definitely be used by Sunagakure Village.

After thinking for a moment, Cai still didn't understand, so she said: "Forget it, don't think about it so much. These are Sunagakure's matters and have nothing to do with us. Next, go talk to the Kazekage and let's return to the Kingdom of Ghosts. .”

"yes."

Everyone was led by Cai and followed his orders.

This operation was quite smooth and the harvest was not small.

The complete body of Akatsuki member Hidan, an arm of Iwagakure rebel ninja Deidara, and the special poison of the Red Sand Scorpion, these are all very precious experimental materials.

It was already an established fact that he would become a Jonin, but life would not be too easy from now on.

"It's been such an eventful time... It seems I have to continue to improve my strength. I'm still too weak now."

At least I have to catch up to the realm of my sister Ichiji. This is how Cai sets her own goals.

His current strength is incomparable to his sister Yi Ji from a few years ago, which cannot make him a chess player on the chessboard.

It's cruel to say that, in terms of strength alone, he is barely capable of fighting against the Five Kage level ninjas. He is just a slightly important piece on the chessboard of the Kingdom of Demons.

Without his parents' level, once faced with a real crisis, it would be difficult to retreat.

Whether it is for your family, your country, or your own future, you must become stronger!

Everyone couldn't help but be speechless when they heard Cai's murmur.

If he is weak, what are they? A cannon fodder that is inferior to the weak?

…

Luo Sha didn't think much about Cai and others' resignation, and just nodded in agreement.

At the moment, Gaara is still sleeping. It's hard to say when he will wake up, but he will feel at ease when he returns to the Kingdom of Wind. There is no time to waste here.

Furthermore, it can be said that Sunagakure's situation at this time is not good at all. This time, he, the Kazekage, almost died in the battle. The betrayal of Yura, the high-ranking jounin, also made Rasa realize that among the top leaders of the village, There are certain signs of instability.

In the end, the loss of Ichibi made Sunagakure even worse at this time. Faced with a terrifying enemy in the darkness, Rasa had no good solution at this time.

"Thank you very much for your help this time. Thank you to your father for me."

Luo Sha said to Cai.

As for how much sincerity there is, Cai doesn't know.

As the most senior military leader of the Kingdom of Wind, Luo Sha has long been accustomed to saying these words.

"I will bring you these words. Then, please forgive me for taking my leave, Lord Kazekage."

Cai bowed slightly, turned around and said goodbye to Luo Sha, met up with Xiang Lin and others who were waiting for him not far away, and left using the teleportation technique.

Luo Sha looked at the direction where Cai and the others were leaving, and sighed slightly, her expression fluctuating, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Kazekage-sama, don't you go and ask about that organization?"

There was a voice from behind.

Nara Shikaku, the Jonin squad leader of Konoha, appeared behind Rasa and asked.

The Konoha team he led was the last to arrive, and he was responsible for the search on the other side. When they arrived here, the battle was over.

Regarding the loss of Ichibi in Sunagakure Village, he could only mourn in silence.

Although Sunagakure's personnel did not suffer much loss in this operation, the loss of Ichibi was enough to cause a huge blow to Sunagakure.

Although Sunagakure cannot officially put the tailed beasts into the battlefield and use them as handy weapons, if it falls into the hands of outsiders, that is another matter.

"No need, I tested it a while ago, and they kept a lot of important information and didn't disclose it to us. And... this young man is not simple. Even if I want to capture him, I will probably have to go through a lot of troubles. .”

The 'young man' in Luo Sha's mouth is naturally Cai.

As a Kazekage, he felt a strong threat from Cai's body.

Even if he is not a ninja of his own level, he is probably not far behind.

Even Gaara would probably lose a little to the other party.

"The Kingdom of Ghosts not only has a cultivation system that is not inferior to ours, but also has the inheritance of immortal arts. Even the younger generation should not be underestimated. In today's era, it is really becoming more and more difficult for people to understand."

Shikaku also sighed sadly.

Once a systematic inheritance method is formed for the legendary power of senjutsu, many outstanding ninjas can be cultivated, which will play a non-negligible role in improving the country's military strength.

Now the Ghost Country has become a trend, and it is no longer a behemoth that can be shaken by just two big countries.

If this continues, will other major countries really have a place to survive?

In the current international situation, in Shikaku's view, the Kingdom of Ghosts is a unique existence, aloof from the world.

After that, there are the traditional five major countries, and then there are the small countries with certain military power, such as the Kingdom of Iron, the Kingdom of Grass, and the Kingdom of Rain.

The last class is the small countries that do not have a complete chakra cultivation system. The richer these small countries are, the more they will become fat on the chopping block of the big countries.

"Why, does the Fire Country want another Fourth Ninja War?"

Luo Sha turned around and asked with interest.

"Kazekage-sama is joking."

Shikaku smiled bitterly, another Fourth Ninja War? The last time, Konoha had already suffered a loss. Not only did Konoha lose thousands of ninjas, but it also directly killed its most important ally, Mt. Myoboku.

If Danzo hadn't accidentally intervened later, he and Jiraiya would have probably become prisoners of the Demon Kingdom.

"The current situation may change a little. This organization is so interested in even the Kingdom of Ghosts, and if they allow it to grow bigger...I'm afraid..."

Lu Jiu didn't say anything further, but he believed that Luo Sha understood what was going on.

This organization dared to extend its magical hand to the tailed beasts of the great country, and even plundered four of them. This means that the other party's research on tailed beast technology is far more complete than that of the ninja village of the great country, and it can use the tailed beasts more effectively. the power of.

Four tailed beasts, a large number of S-class rebellious ninjas, and a 'leader' who can suppress so many terrifying beings... This makes Shikaku wonder, when did there ever be such a powerful person in the ninja world? A character?

Although Chiba Shiraishi in the Kingdom of Ghosts is mysterious, the growth process can be traced after all, and it does not suddenly pop out of the cracks in the stone.

But this organization seems to be different.

Who could be the 'leader' who can suppress so many dangerous and rebellious ninjas?

Ren Lujiu thought about it like this, but he still couldn't guess what kind of person he was, with such terrifying energy, who could do these things.

"I will focus on this matter, but it may require Konoha's help."

Luo Sha directly explained what he meant.

We can't just forget about Ichibi.

Shikaku nodded and responded: "I will let Lord Hokage respond to this matter later."

Reached contact with Kazekage Rasa.

◎

It was already a day later when I returned to a station in Sunagakure on the border of the Kingdom of Wind.

The people of Oni Country and Konoha had separated and returned separately a day ago.

But Sunagakure's follow-up matters are not over yet.

In particular, Sunagakure obtained the body of the traitorous ninja Red Sand Scorpion. This may be the biggest gain in this operation.

"Is Elder Chiyo in there?"

"Yes, Master Kazekage, Elder Chiyo is inside disposing of the body."

Facing Luo Sha's question, a Sand ninja guarding outside the tent nodded and answered respectfully.

"I know, go down, you don't need to guard here anymore."

Luo Sha paused and said to this and the surrounding Sand Ninja.

"yes."

When the surrounding sand ninja heard this, they all left respectfully. Only a few Anbu who followed Luo Sha were scattered around the tent, prohibiting anyone from approaching here.

Luo Sha knocked on the door and walked in without waiting for the person inside to respond.

Inside the tent, the space had been transformed into what an operating room should look like. On an operating table in the middle, a corpse lay quietly - it was Sunagakure's S-class rebel ninja.

The two blades that were originally inserted into the 'core' position have been removed, and the wounds have been carefully bandaged to prevent further bleeding.

Although some joints of the corpse were still modified parts, in Luo Sha's view, this puppet-like body was as realistic as a human corpse.

"Is this the current body of Scorpion? Speaking of which, this is the first time for me to see it up close. Compared with twenty years ago, there is no change at all."

Luo Sha walked to the opposite side of the operating table and spoke to Chiyo on the other side of the operating table, but her eyes were fixed on Xie on the operating table.

The other party's appearance still retains the traces of being fifteen or sixteen years old, and has not been baptized by any years. It is as if time has completely stopped and is frozen in the true meaning of 'eternity'.

"Human puppets are originally transformed from the corpses of living people. In theory, they are completely different from ordinary puppets. Furthermore, the power of Yin-Yang Escape, secondarily based on the basics, may also create a connection between human puppets. It’s a potential change that even practitioners don’t know about.”

Chiyo said calmly.

His face was pale, and his turbid eyes were staring at Xie's youthful face, his eyes flickering on and off, full of strangeness.

Luo Sha nodded. As a Kazekage, he was naturally familiar with human puppet technology.

This was a theory put forward by the first generation puppet master Monzaemon very early. Some puppet masters in Sunagakure Village began to explore this field for this reason, and Chiyo was once one of them. Unfortunately, given that this technique was unethical and had not made any substantial progress for many years, it was abandoned by Sunagakure's senior management and became a useless semi-finished forbidden technique.

But no one thought that this technology would be perfected by Scorpion, who was only a teenager at the time, twenty years ago. Although he was standing on the shoulders of his predecessors, he could complete a semi-finished forbidden technique by himself. One can imagine the opponent's superb talent in this field.

The third Kazekage of Sunagakure was the first few victims. I have to say, this is a huge irony.

"So, can we get the secret about the scorpion from the corpse?"

Luo Sha asked with concern.

Chiyo shook his head and said: "The sealing technique in his body is very strong, locking up all the secrets of various techniques in his mind. I suspect that this sealing technique can easily seal even the tailed beast's consciousness. .The person who uses this technique is very powerful."

Hearing this, Luo Sha was a little silent.

Sure enough, things won't be that simple.

"I understand, then, if there is no other matter, I will leave first."

After Luo Sha said this, she felt the urge to escape from here and planned to leave quickly.

However, as soon as he turned around and left, Chiyo's voice sounded behind him:

"Luo Sha, I want to ask you a favor."

The tone of the voice was so calm that Luo Sha felt that something was not right about the atmosphere at this time.

He turned around and looked seriously at Chiyo's increasingly older face. His lips moved. There were some words that he, as a Kazekage, really couldn't say.

He was still facing a senior whom he respected immensely.

"Elder Chiyo, I am Kazekage."

Luo Sha glanced at Xie on the operating table, sighed helplessly, and lowered his head, as if he didn't see Chiyo's gaze at this time.

"You owe me a favor regarding Gaara."

Chiyo's words made Luo Sha twitch her lips.

"I know that even if you retire, it is impossible for you to sacrifice yourself to accomplish the good deeds of others, let alone someone like Gaara who is not close to you. However, I do not recommend that you do this. .”

Luo Sha glanced at Xie, who was lying quietly on the operating table, with a hint of complexity in her eyes.

He guessed what Chiyo would do next.

"Now, I often wonder, if I could have discovered Scorpion's inner affairs in advance in the past, and cared more about his inner health in matters other than puppetry, instead of indulging his behavior, would it have prevented all the things that are happening now? Where’s the tragedy?”

As if he didn't hear Luo Sha's words of admonishment, Chiyo's tone was full of regret and sadness.

Luo Sha did not respond. He also had his own relatives, and his own children were as ruthless as him and almost killed him.

But...for Gaara, who was determined to kill himself, Luo Sa had no anger in his heart, but only guilt.

He could probably understand Chiyo's inner struggle and wavering, as well as her feelings of regret and regret.

The drama of cannibalism with loved ones is definitely a more painful thing than death.

"As for Gaara, I'm very grateful... But, I want to ask, are you really ready to wake up? In your current situation, if you use that forbidden technique again... In addition, Elder Ebizo , do you already know?"

Luo Sha had to state this again.

"I've already notified Ebizo in advance. I'll leave the rest to you, Luo Sha..."

Before Luo Sha could speak, Chiyo had already begun to form seals, covering Scorpion's cold body with his warm hands shrouded in green light.

It was too late for Luo Sha to stop her, her lips wriggled twice, and finally she retracted her palm, sighed, and quietly waited for the result.

…

Quickly opening his eyes, he saw that this was different from the darkness and coldness in the depths of the pool, but the light and warmth that he had not seen for a long time.

The time of deep sleep seemed to be a moment, and it seemed that tens of thousands of years had passed. When Scorpio opened his eyes and saw the things in front of him again, he suddenly felt like he was in a trance from another life.

He slowly sat up with a somewhat stiff body.

stiff?

The body of the doll should not have such a feeling. Could it be that some of the parts inside are rusty because it has been left for too long? Or is it time to apply lubricant regularly?

wrong.

Scorpion suddenly recalled that he was broken by the nine-tailed Jinchuuriki Uzumaki Naruto of Konoha, and the gate on his left chest was broken. Then Chiyo controlled the puppets of his 'father' and 'mother' and penetrated the 'core' of his left chest and died.

Before he died, he told the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki some boring things about Orochimaru...

Now I am...

Xie frowned, as if she had a huge headache, and felt that she was missing some crucial memory.

What is it... Before a new connection was made, Xie's eyes suddenly glanced at him and he accidentally saw a familiar figure.

The other party knelt on the cold ground, her hands hanging down naturally, her head lowered, and her hair covering her face so that no one could see her appearance at this time.

Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Xia clearly realized that this was his grandmother's Chiyo.

What's up with her?

Why are you kneeling on the ground now?

Why can't I feel the breath of a living person from her body?

"Are you awake?"

The sudden sound made Xion subconsciously want to twist the mechanism in his body and deal with the enemy behind him.

However, he suddenly jumped behind the operating table, turned around and faced the person who was speaking. The machine rang, but no concealed weapon was fired. Scorpion's expression was stunned.

"I'm sorry, the mechanisms in your body have been deactivated by Elder Qianyo."

Luo Sha stared at Xie as if nothing had happened.

He just looked as if nothing had happened, with a trace of vigilance hidden deep in his eyes.

"This damn old woman..."

Scorpion's tone was inexplicably irritable, and at the same time, he didn't know anything about his appearance here.

How did you get here?

Why was he lying on the operating table before?

What happened while he was unconscious?

"Unfortunately, it was the 'dead old woman' you called me who saved you. If you still want to go to hell again, I wouldn't mind giving you a ride myself."

A puppet master who has lost all his mechanisms and all his puppets is nothing to worry about.

What's more, in order to ensure that he can capture Scorpion, he has already buried a large amount of placer gold underground.

As long as there is any abnormal movement in Scorpion, he will suppress the opponent as soon as possible and send the opponent to reunite with Qianyo.

Save...

Such words penetrated into Xie's ears, causing his originally vigilant face to suddenly show an expression of astonishment, and then he asked in an almost annoyed tone:

"Luo Sha, what does it mean to save...?"

"The meaning is very simple. Elder Qianyo sacrificed his precious life to bring you back from another world as a deceased person. She... hopes that you can live well."

At the end of Luo Sha's words, she paused for a moment, her eyes fell on Xie, and she said solemnly to him.

After hearing Luo Sha's explanation, Xie glanced at Chiyo, who was kneeling there with no breath of life. He suddenly understood something and fell silent.
