Escape From Konoha

Kakashi left from Shiraishi, holding the appointment document Shiraishi gave him, but at the first moment, Kakashi did not think about going to the work place for secret observation immediately, but walked towards the medical department. .

This feeling of being able to walk on the road openly made Kakashi feel comfortable that he had not seen for a long time.

Although he himself doesn't mind continuing to work in the dark, if he can change to a more respectable job, normally no one would squeeze into a shady industry. After all, it not only means that you need to hide all interpersonal relationships, but also isolate yourself from the outside world except for tasks, but it also means that there are hidden dangers to your own safety.

Even in this ninja world, there are very few ninjas who can threaten him, but if you are too negligent, this head may one day be removed and sent to the underground black market for a bounty.

His head fetched a generous reward of 150 million taels on the underground black market. The bounty amount was tens of millions taels higher than the amount of rewards his father Hatake Sakumo had at his peak. Among the ninjas, those with higher bounty amounts than him are basically Kage from each village. It is basically impossible for ordinary ninjas to reach this level of bounty.

Thanks to this high bounty, when following Orochimaru, he was attacked by bounty hunters in the underground black market more than ten times a year.

However, even though he is now officially employed in the Kingdom of Ghosts, there still seems to be some gap between truly standing under the sun.

The wanted order against him in Konoha and many countries has not been eliminated, which is of a different nature from the bounty on the underground black market.

The internationally wanted person is a real criminal, especially a criminal like him who is charged with "assassinating" Hokage. His nature is so bad that even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Demon Country can only deal with Konoha and the Fire Country. The country is delaying time by avoiding the most important issue.

Help him intercept the condemnation of Konoha, the Country of Fire, and other countries. This will definitely take a hit on the reputation of Shiraishi and the Country of Demons.

Kakashi could figure this out.

Countries that are hostile to the Kingdom of Ghosts will inevitably cling to this point and attack on the pain points.

Although it won't cause substantial trouble to the Kingdom of Ghosts, it can cause trouble.

For this, Kakashi has no good solution. The traitorous ninja cannot prove his innocence, nor can he clear the name of the traitorous ninja on his own. The initiative lies in the hands of Konoha and the Land of Fire. He can only trust Shiraishi now. Can handle it all.

Not just him, but Sasuke too.

With this thought, Kakashi came to the medical department unknowingly. It seemed that he had calculated the time. When he came to the medical department, it happened to be the time for the staff inside to change shifts and get off work.

At the gate of the medical department, Kakashi caught a glimpse of Sakura walking out of the gate.

The other party's long cherry-colored hair began to be cut short, and he wore a white coat outside his clothes. He was a little less immature and more calm, especially his sharp eyes, which made Kakashi really feel that the other party was already there. As he grows up, he seems to be a trustworthy medical ninja.

"Sakura."

Kakashi paused, then walked over and said hello to Sakura.

"Um?"

When Sakura's name was called, she slightly raised her head and looked forward. Kakashi's figure suddenly came into her eyes, and her pupils suddenly dilated, showing a look of surprise.

"Kakashi-sensei!?"

"It's me, it's been such a long time—"

Kakashi nodded, revealed his identity, and came to Sakura.

However, before he could finish his sentence, Sakura raised her arm and struck out with a beautiful straight punch, causing the strong wind to scatter Kakashi's silver hair.

"..."

Kakashi looked at the straight punch thrown from the side of his cheek. If he hadn't been able to dodge quickly, this punch would have definitely broken his nose bone and caused him to fly out in a parabolic trajectory.

He retracted his previous comments. It seemed that his student's growth was not limited to medical ninjutsu.

"Even if you meet a teacher you haven't seen for a long time, there is no need to have such a grand welcome ceremony. Are you planning to murder your teacher?"

Kakashi raised his hands in surrender and took an invisible step back.

"What? It's indeed Kakashi-sensei."

Sakura retracted her fist as if nothing had happened and smiled at Kakashi, but behind the smile, there was an aura that made Kakashi shudder.

"Was that punch just now a test?"

Kakashi couldn't figure out what Sakura was thinking. After all, she was a teenage girl, so it was normal for her to have weird thoughts.

Kakashi comforted himself like this.

"Yes, it's to confirm Kakashi-sensei's identity. You see it's so close to the hospital, Kakashi-sensei will definitely feel the warmth of home."

After hearing this, Kakashi felt indescribably moved.

Sure enough, this student loved him.

"Okay, let's go out and talk. It's embarrassing to be looked at here."

Not to boast, but Kakashi felt like he was a celebrity.

His appearance is not a secret in the eyes of many people.

While chatting with Sakura, many people had stopped and noticed his true identity.

With his silver hair and mask, and the short sword on his back, he was an all-too-familiar figure.

Although people here would not think of using his head to pay back the money, he still felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by so many people.

"Well, it just so happens that I also want to have a good time catching up with you, Kakashi-sensei."

Sakura didn't refuse.

After communicating with Sasuke that day, I learned from Sasuke that Kakashi would also come to the Kingdom of Demons.

Therefore, Sakura was surprised at first by Kakashi's arrival, but then she immediately regained her composure.

After leaving the medical department, Kakashi and Sakura wandered around aimlessly.

It's not accurate to say that he was just wandering around. Kakashi wanted to get to know the environment here, so having Sakura come with him would be the best thing.

"Where should I start? How much do you know about me, Sakura?"

Kakashi, who didn't know how to speak, could only use this aspect as an entry point.

However, Sakura replied calmly: "With a lot of guesswork and the information provided by the Intelligence Department, I basically understand everything."

"As expected of you, among the three of us, your analytical mind is the best, especially for such detailed work."

Although he had been working in Orochimaru's stronghold over the years, he still learned a lot about Sakura through Shiraishi.

A rising star in the Demon Country Medical Department, he is undoubtedly an outstanding talent with a bright future in the medical ninja industry.

"Stop talking about these things, I want to know, Kakashi-sensei, what are you going to do next? Do you plan to continue to take revenge on Konoha?"

Sakura is concerned about this topic.

Although she had no choice but to join the Kingdom of Ghosts, she still didn't want to fight with her former companions.

Kakashi touched his chin and replied without thinking: "You may have misunderstood something. The moment the Third Hokage died, I lost interest in Konoha. In addition, I will not take action against Konoha."

"Hey, why?"

Sakura looked very confused.

"I don't know if you understand this part of the truth, Sakura. The death of the Sandaime was not caused by me, but by him. Before he died, he asked me not to take action against Konoha. So, I won’t do anything to Konoha again, and it will be the same if I join here.”

Kakashi didn't hide it and chose to tell the truth.

"Where's Sasuke? What will happen to him?"

Sakura asked about Sasuke again.

Although she knew some things from Sasuke, she couldn't guess what Sasuke was thinking.

"Sasuke's character is more stubborn than mine. He probably won't let go of his inner burden until his revenge is complete. Before that, no one can stop his pursuit of revenge."

"Will you take action against Konoha?"

Sakura fell silent.

She learned something through the Intelligence Department of the Ghost Country.

Although we don't understand everything, as long as enough key information is given, some secrets can be figured out.

The destruction of the Konoha Uchiha clan was related to the political struggle among the top leaders.

Unfortunately, the Uchiha clan was the loser.

Kakashi nodded, looking at the sunset in the distance, squinting his eyes.

"Yes, this crux can only be solved by himself. Outsiders can't help him. Konoha's current peace is based on the blood and bones of Uchiha. Even after death, his people will not be able to help him. Peace. He has the responsibility to repay this blood debt."

In other words, the possibility of getting both sides on good terms is almost zero.

Perhaps the most tragic result is until one party dies.

Neither of these two outcomes was what Sakura wanted to see.

But as Kakashi said, she had no reason to stop Sasuke, nor was she qualified to stop Sasuke from seeking revenge on Konoha.

That is the fruit of the hatred between Uchiha and Konoha's top management. As long as Sasuke does not give up this idea, this battle between Uchiha and Konoha will continue endlessly.

Just like the Senju and Uchiha in history, they fought with each other, entangled each other, and killed each other for thousands of years.

The destruction of the Uchiha clan may be a continuation of the struggle of will between these two families.

Stopping on the roadside, looking at the sunset that was the same as Kakashi's eyes, Sakura's expression was a little sad, and her heart was very confused. Even if she knew this, she couldn't do anything.

"Kakashi-sensei."

"What?"

Kakashi turned his head.

"In the world of ninjas, isn't there the possibility of peaceful coexistence?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I have been to the frontline battlefields for internship before, and I saw the fighting between ninjas. Such battles are completely different from the battles I encountered between missions in the past."

Although it is only a local conflict, it is common for battles to break out, but the scale will not be as huge as the Ninja World War, and due to orders from superiors, even fighting will be as restrained as possible.

Even so, violence and blood are still everywhere.

Where there is fighting, there must be death.

"Although I really want to say that this is the fate of ninjas... However, such a simple explanation is too perfunctory. I can definitely tell you that the Ninja World War has been carried out four times so far. And local conflict wars, since It has been going on since the death of the First Hokage. During the transition from the Warring States Period to the present, there was only a brief and peaceful period of peace during the reign of the First Hokage Senju Hashirama. What do you think is the reason for this, Sakura?"

Kakashi asked.

"Will of Fire?"

Sakura thought for a while and gave this answer.

"No, that's because the power of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama is almost that of a god. As long as he is alive, all ambitious people will not dare to take the lead. Konoha also relied on this solid foundation to become the winner of the first three ninja wars. By."

"..."

Paths never imagined.

Sakura felt that this was completely different from the Will of Fire she had learned in the past. In other words, reality was completely different from what was discussed in books.

Sure enough, if you just become a medical ninja, you can't save more patients, you can't make the world a better place, and even when bad things happen, you can only watch and not intervene.

Sakura subconsciously clenched her fists hard, making them as hard as steel.

"Kakashi-sensei."

"Um?"

"I have decided that I want to apply to go to the front lines of the battlefield and continue to go there for practical learning."

Not only ninjas and ninjas, but also various conflicts between small countries.

Under the plan of the Ghost Kingdom, the balance of peace has been broken, and he must do something.

On the battlefield, Sakura felt that she should go there, instead of staying in the stable rear area and living a protected life as a matter of course.

…

After parting ways with Sakura, Kakashi was a little worried about Sakura's mental state at this time, but he also knew that this was a necessary process for Sakura to grow up.

Compared with the war years, today's era can be considered relatively peaceful. Even so, the battlefield on the front line is no joke, nor is it a battlefield for ninjas.

Life will be born and pass away, and the repeated cycle process has caused the mental collapse of countless people who pride themselves on their perseverance.

It was an act of violence in which all parties involved in the war could only win and must become the victor.

If he did go there, he hoped that Sakura would be able to survive by then.

Stopped in front of a huge square-shaped building.

This is where Kakashi will be working.

The Intelligence and Security Inspection Department of the Kingdom of Ghosts is also an extremely important intelligence department of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

All kinds of information collected from all over the ninja world are collected here and sorted and summarized. It can be said that as long as you understand everything here, most people and places in the ninja world will be transparent in your eyes.

Kakashi is a paratrooper here, and the position Shiraishi gave him is security advisor.

He is directly subordinate to the Minister of Military Affairs and has the right to access all information and intelligence here, check for omissions and fill in the gaps, and monitor those who have problems, but he does not have the right to arrest.

The specific real power is not high, and personnel transfers cannot be made within the department. Even so, this is a position that many people are trying to get.

With this identity, you can directly contact the highest level of the military. Entering the core of the military in the future is a sure thing, and there is no doubt.

But Kakashi felt that Shiraishi wanted to put himself on the fire rack for barbecue, and leisurely sprinkled some cumin and pepper there.

As an airborne personnel, it is already a bit eye-catching to work in such an important department all of a sudden, and as a result, it is given such great convenience. Although he has no real power, it can let him know all the important information about the Kingdom of Demons and the Ninja World as soon as possible... One can imagine the importance of this location.

Information, intelligence, this is the basis that must be understood before any action can be taken.

His original intention was to start working in a relatively secretive espionage department so that he could have some leisure time before considering promotion.

It seems that Shiraishi has already planned his future path.

"Safety consultant...this job doesn't look safe at all."

With such a conspicuous location, is it really unlikely that anyone would be jealous?

Kakashi complained, took the appointment documents, and entered the building under the watchful eyes of the doorman.

I came here today not to work, but to get to know the environment and roads here, and to confirm the location of each cadre's office, so as not to find the way here later.

Subconsciously, Kakashi recalled that he seemed to be in the same state when he was sent to Konoha ANBU by his mentor Minato.

◎

Past, future, present.

Which one is the real me?

The stream used to draw water in the forest conveyed the fresh smell of flowers and plants. Kabuto looked at his own reflection reflected in the water. This face was expressionless, as if it was blank and did not exist in this world.

Danzo, Orochimaru, Konoha, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, Sunagakure, Kumogakure, and even an unknown small country... Kabuto recalled his past experiences. It can be said to be rich and colorful, and he has experienced many things that many people have never experienced in their lives. Way to imagine wonderful things.

Using all his wits and fighting to the death, he wears different masks and travels around the world with various identities.

Unknowingly, his career as a spy has left traces on so many people and so many countries.

But each of these traces is not worth his staying time for too long, nor is it worth his efforts to remember.

"Lord Orochimaru seems to be really dead."

Kabuto's tone was full of regret and sadness, and also revealed a bit of confusion.

More than a week passed and he walked through all the Tian Country strongholds and found no trace of Orochimaru.

Even the existence of Otogakure Village disappeared silently from the ninja world.

Kabuto felt shuddered at this result.

The more you understand Orochimaru, the more you understand how terrifying he is.

However, such a terrible person, who claims to want to master all ninjutsu and gain immortality, actually behaves so weakly in front of a stronger person.

Orochimaru died, and he lost his goal in life again.

He once again became a ‘nameless one’.

Where do I go next?

What to do?

Looking at his reflection on the water, Kabuto's eyes behind his lenses were filled with confusion.

Unable to think, my mind went blank.

Suddenly, his ears twitched.

A sound broke through the air.

Immediately afterwards, a stone fell into the water.

The reflection of his face on the water was disrupted, causing ripples and ripples.

Kabuto jumped back in shock, condensed chakra in his hand, formed a chakra scalpel in his palm, and stared ahead.

On the other side of the stream, a figure appeared at some point.

Wearing a red and white dress, wearing a blank mask, her slightly dull yellow hair was flying in the wind.

The eyes under the mask shone with a calm luster.

"Is the miko from the Kingdom of Ghosts... here to clean up?"

Kabuto put away his confused expression before.

For a multiple agent like him, it is not difficult to put on a new mask anytime and anywhere.

He looked at the miko with a look full of vigilance.

He knows best what kind of role the wandering witches in the Kingdom of Ghosts play in various countries.

In the past, he had directly fought with several of the wandering witches over some matters.

They are a group of ninjas who are highly skilled in medical ninjutsu and master various strange secret techniques. They are extremely troublesome to deal with.

They wear the clothes of witches, but never do the work of clergy. They are the sharp fangs of the Kingdom of Ghosts that penetrate into the realms of various countries.

The most frequent places are small countries where civil war is breaking out.

The miko on the other side of the stream did not speak in the face of Kabuto's question. From her pure white sleeves, a sickle connected by an iron chain slipped out. Hard spiked bolas.

The entire holy body exuded an ominous aura.

Compared to a miko, the other party at this moment looks more like a demon from a picture book about the Kingdom of Ghosts.

The combination of the sickle and the meteor hammer vividly demonstrates this bloody violence.

Kabuto moved slowly, trying to distance himself from such a dangerous person again.

As soon as he made a move, the miko seemed to sense something and flicked her arm hard.

The spike-covered bolas immediately cut through the air and flew towards Kabuto like a meteor.
