Escape From Konoha

Because he had formulated a complete and feasible kaleidoscope fusion plan in advance, Shiraishi was not worried that this operation would end in failure. Even if it fails, he has his own medical ninjutsu to take care of it, which can at least guarantee that the operation fails and will not affect Sasuke's original strength.

Moreover, Sasuke's eternal kaleidoscope is not only related to Sasuke himself. Once the fusion of the kaleidoscope is successful, it also means that the second or even third ninja with the eternal kaleidoscope will appear in the country of ghosts in the future. As a result, the military strength of the Kingdom of Ghosts will inevitably increase exponentially.

Although the Kingdom of Ghosts is now at its peak and is invincible in the fields of diplomacy and commerce, the foundation of its prosperity is based on the strong military support of the military. Once the Kingdom of Ghosts loses its powerful minions, there will be countless enemies who want to come up and share a bite of food.

Although the country's power is strong, it is far from contented and comfortable.

Therefore, Shiraishi attaches great importance to this surgery that incorporates kaleidoscope.

About an hour later, with the joint efforts of Shiraishi and Lin, the operation was finally over.

After wrapping Sasuke's eyes with a piece of white cloth, Shiraishi put down the scalpel in his hand.

Looking at Sasuke, whose eyes were covered with a white cloth, he looked like a corpse lying on the cold operating table. If it weren't for the fact that he was still having a heartbeat, with his pale face, he would have looked like a dead corpse.

"Teacher Shiraishi, can Sasuke successfully fuse?"

Lin, who was standing on the other side, seemed a little uneasy.

Although it has been deduced more than once before performing this operation, the possibility of failure also exists.

After all, the Eternal Kaleidoscope is just a concept mentioned in the data for the Kingdom of Ghosts. They have no finished product and can only simulate and deduce it by collecting data. But such derivation is only on paper after all. When it is actually implemented, no one can guarantee that it will be successful. It can only be as perfect as possible.

"I don't know, it depends on his own destiny. But I think it should be no problem. Isn't there a successful case like Uchiha Madara? Moreover, Madara's situation is similar to Sasuke's. Both brothers have awakened Mangekyō. Rinnegan, and then fuse it. Since Madara can do it, there is no reason why it can’t be done on Sasuke.”

Shiraishi glanced at Sasuke, who was still sleeping peacefully, and expressed his opinion.

Lin nodded and said no more.

"Looking at his current situation, it will take a long time to fuse the power of the other pair of eyes. Lin, I leave this to you. If there are any problems during the fusion process, remember to notify him in time."

After the operation, Shiraishi didn't plan to stay here. He still had a lot of things to deal with, so he decided to entrust Sasuke to Rin's care and let her keep an eye on Sasuke to avoid accidents.

The surgery has been completed, but the next fusion is the key.

This is like the training of a perfect Jinchuuriki. If you want to make the tailed beast obedient, although you can use external assistance, the most important thing is to rely on yourself to tame the wildness of the tailed beast.

The same is true for Sasuke's current situation. If he wants to truly use his new pupil power for his own use, he needs to completely tame this external pupil power and make it his own, so that his kaleidoscope can further grow. Outsiders cannot interfere with this process and can only rely on Sasuke to complete it without giving too much help.

"I understand, Mr. Shiraishi, I will keep a close eye on him. As long as I am here, there will be no problems."

Lin knew that Shiraishi was busy with official duties, so she took over the matter.

When Bai Shi heard this, he left with satisfaction.

◎

"It seems that the matter on Sasuke's side has been resolved."

Kakashi was waiting for Shiraishi's arrival on the sofa in the office. After seeing Shiraishi come back, he slowly stood up and talked to Shiraishi casually.

As soon as Sasuke returned here, he left in a hurry. Kakashi knew without thinking that Sasuke's purpose was Shiraishi's research institute, and he wanted to integrate the power of another pair of Mangekyō Sharingan to evolve the Mangekyō into the Eternal Mangekyō.

Although Sasuke has grown a lot compared to the past, Kakashi can still see that the other person is still very persistent in the pursuit of power and never stops.

This may be something engraved in the genes of the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha was feared by high-level officials in Konoha because of his Sharingan, but it can also be seen from the side that the terrifying and powerful nature of these eyes is by no means unfounded.

"Yes, but the result is hard to say. After all the preparations have been made before, I can only say that there is a certain success rate. But even if it fails, it will just waste a pair of kaleidoscopes. There is another pair of spare kaleidoscopes in the laboratory."

Shiraishi didn't know whether he was answering Kakashi's question or comforting himself.

It would be great if this fusion surgery was successful, but if it failed, Shiraishi told himself that it would be just a matter of gaining experience.

"This is a report on this mission. The intelligence agencies in some places have indeed begun to corrode, but overall, they are still developing healthily."

Kakashi started to talk about some general aspects. As for the details of the task execution, they were recorded in the report document, and Shiraishi would look at it slowly later.

"Because these places are far away, even if some things go wrong, there is no way to deal with them in time. However, as long as the roots are still there, it is not a big problem. And after this beating, I think the local intelligence agencies will be able to deal with it in a short time." There will be no more problems. Besides, the next focus will not be on these local intelligence agencies."

Shiraishi walked to the seat, put the report aside, then sat down and made himself a cup of tea.

"Maybe, anyway, the environment outside is not very stable. To be honest, Kumogakure's power is a bit too strong now."

Kakashi thought of something and expressed his opinion.

With its complete industrial system, the Kingdom of Ghosts has achieved overtaking in the military, economic and other fields.

Because of this, other countries have begun to pay attention to industrial technology, especially countries with ninja villages.

Any country with ambitions will not be willing to succumb to others.

Among them, the Kingdom of Thunder is the one that learns and imitates the Kingdom of Ghost the most.

While most countries in the ninja world still need to purchase arms from the Kingdom of Demons, Kumogakure of the Kingdom of Thunder basically has its own industrial system. Although it is not perfect, the ninja tools produced seem to be good. It was not satisfactory, but Kakashi could tell that if Kumogakure continued to develop, he would soon be freed from the control of the Demon Country in the arms market.

Even now, some industrial products, Yunyin has begun to be semi-detached from the restrictions of the Demon Country, and can barely achieve self-sufficiency, instead of continuously delivering money and resources to the Demon Country and relying on imports from other countries.

"It is only a matter of time that others imitate and learn from them. Kumogakure just pays more attention to this than other villages and accelerates the process. In terms of external force, they are much more united than Konoha is now."

Shiraishi had considered this day when he was opening up the ninja arms market.

In the ninja world, apart from pornography, gambling and drugs, arms can also dominate the list of profitable businesses.

Moreover, developing industry can increase a country's military strength more quickly. With the minds of the people in Yunyin Village, how could it be possible for only the Kingdom of Ghosts to dominate? Naturally, they wanted to come in and get a share of the pie.

Even Konoha, which is currently fighting among itself, has begun to pay attention to the construction of the industrial system and wants to fundamentally get rid of the control of the Kingdom of Demons.

It's hard to say for small countries for the time being, but big countries like the Fire Country will only be controlled by others for a while, and will never want to be inferior to others permanently.

The outbreak of the Fourth Ninja World War more than two years ago was not only caused by the conflict between the consciousness of the old and new powers, but also by the uneven distribution of interests.

The cake in the ninja world is only so big. When the country of ghosts becomes stronger and stronger and eats more and more cakes, the share of the other countries will naturally shrink, and then they will be dissatisfied, and finally a war will break out to take back the country that has been taken away by ghosts. part of the benefits taken away by the country.

"So, what are you going to do with Kumogakure? I got to know this village when I was in Konoha. Although there are some internal factions, judging from their fierce behavior, the village is basically full of martial arts. The fighting faction. Once they are angered, they will not take the overall situation into consideration and swallow their anger like Konoha does."

Kakashi said.

The Kingdom of Ghosts is currently secretly fighting with the Kingdom of Thunder, and some small countries are the stage for the two big countries to fight.

As the military representative of the Kingdom of Thunder, Kumogakure is naturally a huge stumbling block on the road to the military of the Kingdom of Demons.

And judging from the current situation, Kumogakure's stumbling block is more troublesome to deal with than Konoha.

"This village is indeed difficult to deal with, but they are tracking Akatsuki's traces and want to recapture the second tail. As long as their bottom line is not touched, they will not aggravate the conflict with us for the time being. Moreover, I am currently considering whether to take Akatsuki's Let some information out and let the villages like Yunyakure smell the blood, so that they won’t keep spinning in circles.”

Shiraishi put down the tea cup and looked directly at Kakashi.

Kakashi was slightly stunned, then recovered and understood what Shiraishi meant.

——Use the villages like Kumogakure that have lost their tailed beasts to become pawns to explore the path of the Kingdom of Demons.

"Akatsuki's current actions are very covert, and Kisame placed there cannot get any useful information for the time being. As for testing Akatsuki, there are huge risks in the process. If not done well, many people may be sacrificed, and Kumo Gakuin, We can save a lot of trouble by trying it out in villages like Konoha.”

Bai Shi said this and said no more.

Obviously he has a general idea in mind, and the most important purpose is not to waste a single soldier, diverting trouble to the east, and getting the information he wants.

Kakashi didn't see anything wrong with this.

This is the natural advantage of having more information. You can take advantage of the information gap between the two parties to mobilize the power of Kumogakure and other villages to deal with Akatsuki, while you sit back and watch, being the last oriole.

Moreover, once Shiraishi throws out this bait, it means that the ninja world will never be peaceful in the future, and will become more undercurrent and fall into a bloody storm.

"What are you going to do?"

Kakashi asked.

Shiraishi glanced at Kakashi, with a smile on his lips.

"Speaking of which, I remember Jiraiya of Konoha. There is still a master-disciple relationship between him and Nagato. It should be a good thing for their master-disciple to renew their relationship."

Although Shiraishi was smiling, Kakashi couldn't see any smile on his face, only endless coldness.

◎

It’s mid-August and the hot summer continues.

Located in Kumogakure among the lofty mountains, an earthquake soon occurred in the office where Raikage was located.

"What, Mabuyi, are you saying that you have traced the whereabouts of that organization!?"

The Fourth Raikage, who was still at work, suddenly stood up from his seat when Mabuyi revealed that he had found out the whereabouts of the organization, and slammed his hands on the desk, making a loud thunder-like sound.

Mabuyi glanced distressedly at the desk that was almost broken by the Fourth Raikage. It was not difficult to see that she would soon arrange a new desk for the Raikage.

With the opponent's strength, even a desk made of steel cannot withstand the torment.

However, fortunately, Mabuyi only glanced at him with distress, then turned to the Fourth Raikage with a serious look on his face.

"The specific situation needs to be confirmed after investigation, but the intelligence sent by the investigation team explains this."

Last month on July 10th, the three villages of Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure held a secret alliance in Konoha to form a special operations team to search for missing jinchūriki and tailed beasts.

Each village dispatched about ten jounin and hundreds of chuunin to search the radiation areas of various major powers. They must find traces of the mysterious organization as soon as possible, including those who were kidnapped. The jinchūriki and tailed beasts.

Mabuyi respectfully handed over the scroll recording the information. The Fourth Raikage didn't even look at it and said directly: "You don't need to show it to me. You can explain to me directly whether the source of the information is trustworthy?"

Mabuyi twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "The information came from Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas of Konoha. He was investigating alone, but because of the alliance, he still shared this information with us. I guess Sunagakure , Iwagakure almost knows about it too.”

"Where are the people from that organization!"

The Fourth Raikage's eyes were burning and he asked without vomiting.

After several years of searching, he finally had a reliable result, which gave him a refreshing feeling of clearing away the depression in his heart.

"In the land of rain."

Mabuyi gave the answer.

"The Land of Rain?"

The Fourth Raikage was stunned for a moment, then realized that if he remembered correctly, that was the country where Hanzo the Sanshouyu took shelter.

But later Sansho Hanzo died on the battlefield, and Amegakure was once occupied by Konoha. In order to better control Amegakure, it was rumored that Hanzo's blood relatives at that time were wiped out by Danzo's blood, and the entire Amegakure was under the bloody reign of terror. middle……

Later, this country did not know how to win over the Kingdom of Ghosts, which defeated the Kingdom of Wind at that time, shattered the strategy of the Kingdom of Fire and Konoha to control the Kingdom of Rain behind the scenes, and returned from slavery to independence.

As for what follows... this country has always been very low-key, so low-key that if Mabuyi hadn't mentioned it now, he would have forgotten that there was this powerful small country that once shined in the ninja world.

"Yes, according to the information collected by Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, the organization that kidnapped Yuki may have taken root in the Country of Rain. And even if their headquarters is not in the Country of Rain, they may still stay in this country. Significant traces, so worth a try.”

Mabuyi nodded.

Although it was only possible, if it came from that Sannin, in Mabuyi's opinion, the probability should be quite high.

After all, according to the information Mabuyi had, Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, was very capable in the field of intelligence.

Moreover, even if there was a 10% chance, Mabuyi felt that her boss, the Fourth Raikage, would not mind turning the Land of Rain upside down.

The Fourth Raikage fell into thought.

After a long time, he asked: "What is the current situation in this country?"

If it were an ordinary small country, he wouldn't mind being more unscrupulous.

But the Kingdom of Rain and the Kingdom of Thunder are not bordering each other. Not only are they not bordering each other, they are also quite far apart. What's more, the Country of Rain is an independent country and has a ninja village. Even if this village is weakened, it is not an existence that can be bullied.

Judging from their determined attitude in wooing the Kingdom of Demons to resist the Kingdom of Fire and the slavery of Konoha, the ninjas and people of this country do not lack the spirit of blood and resistance.

"It is said that it has stabilized. Since the Daming Mansion was suppressed and monitored by the leader of Yuyin, it is Yuyin Village who now rules the country and issues various decrees."

Mabuyi briefly told this piece of news.

In the past resistance battles of uniting the Kingdom of Oni, Yuyin directly entered the surrender faction's Daming Mansion and forced most of the powerful people in the Kingdom of Rain into Yuyin for supervision. Subsequently, the country's political orders began to be dominated by Yugakure.

Surprisingly, after that, the situation in the Country of Rain became more and more stable. It was no longer as chaotic as when the Daming Palace was in power. The country was full of capitulationists, colluding with the Daming Palaces of several surrounding big countries, and betraying the interests of the country.

However, after all, because of its small territory and sparse population, this country did not receive much attention even if it gained independence.

In the current ninja world, the sense of existence is very low.

However, because the sense of presence is very low, once something goes wrong there, it will take a long time for other major countries to get the real situation in their country.

"Who is Yuyin's current leader?"

The Fourth Raikage sat down, tapping his fingers on the table and frowning together.

Mabuyi glanced at the intelligence document in his hand, turned to one of the pages, and said, "The name is Payne. There are rumors that he is the successor of Hanzo's will."

"Penn?"

The Fourth Raikage's brows furrowed even more, as he had never heard of this name.

Mabuyi continued to scan the intelligence files and replied: "Yes, his identity is unknown for the time being, but his strength should not be weak. Judging from the intelligence collected, he has taken very few actions, and the only positive record was in , he destroyed the Daming Mansion of the Land of Rain with one person, and it can be inferred that he mastered a very destructive ninjutsu."

"Other than that?"

"Other than that, there are some rumors that are not worth trusting. Some people say that he is a god, and some say that he is a devil from hell. He has power that no one in the world can match. And he has completely surpassed that. Hanzo, the Sanshouyu, is the undisputed god of ninjas in our time."

Mabuyi calmly spoke out this information without expressing his own opinions, looking at it from a third party's perspective.

The Fourth Raikage knocked on the table more and more frequently, and when he reached a peak, he finally stopped.

"It seems that it is just some nonsense that is not convincing enough. Send people to Konoha, join the envoys from other villages, and meet the 'god' of Amegakure Village to see what he has."

The Fourth Raikage snorted coldly, with disdain in his eyes.

god?

What an ignorant guy.

Mabuyi saw the reaction of the Fourth Raikage in his eyes, and the other party's behavior was not unexpected.

After all, Cloud Hidden Village is a village that worships force, especially the village's Raikage.

And calling him the God of Ninja is obviously an offense to the authority of Kumogakure and Raikage. This title is not a name that everyone can use.

◎

Yu Yin.

The lighthouse in the dark night begins to shine brightly in the rain.

Today's rain seems to be heavier than yesterday.

Looking down from the platform of the high tower, one can see that the village, which was originally struggling in the heavy rain, has become full of vitality.

And this beautiful scene of people living and working in peace and contentment should have made Xiaonan satisfied and proud of it.

However, something happened that made her very unhappy. In the past few days, according to Bai Jue's report, someone had spread some unfavorable news about Yugakure.

Some people do not assert that Payne, the current leader of Hidden Rain Village, is the god of ninja who has surpassed Sansho Hanzo and is invincible in the ninja world.

Such news became more and more outrageous in the turmoil of rumors, and eventually even evolved into an omnipotent god who could reverse time at will, see through the future, and control life and death. He was the last god of ninjas. The reincarnation of Senju Hashirama.

This left Xiaonan speechless.

I don’t know who is so boring and spreads such outrageous and exaggerated rumors.

Although she knew that Nagato's Samsara Eye could resurrect the dead, but going back in time and seeing into the future... was this something a ninja could do? The last Great Toad Immortal of Mt. Miaomu who could see into the future has been reduced to ashes by the Kingdom of Ghosts.

But fortunately, they are just some rumors among the people, which are not enough for people to believe.

As someone who exists in the cracks between big powers, Xiaonan has also learned how to keep a low profile in recent years, and will never use the name of Rain Hidden Village or the Country of Rain to do something very high-profile.

Before Nagato's plan is fully prepared, he will not rush forward and attract attention.

I hope these rumors will disappear automatically after being spread for a while. Xiaonan could only hope so in her heart.

After all, Xiaonan couldn't send anyone to control these rumors.

The power of the Kingdom of Rain can be said to be very strong, but it can also be said to be very weak, but no matter whether it is strong or weak, it is currently limited to the Kingdom of Rain. Outside the country, no one would take the Rain Country seriously.

So we can only let these unreliable rumors slowly dissipate, naturally causing everyone to divert their attention away from the Kingdom of Rain.

Just when Xiaonan was frowning and thinking, someone behind her seemed to deliberately make a noise to make Xiaonan turn around.

As expected, it's a mixture of Black Zetsu and White Zetsu. They stick together in a strange image. It seems that there is only one person, but they are two separate individuals.

Xiaonan and the others seemed to dislike each other, staring at each other. No one took the initiative to speak, leaving the atmosphere in a wordless silence.

In the end, it was Hei Jue who took the initiative to break the silence:

"Xiaonan, we just received important news here. Konoha will join forces with Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure to send envoys to Amegakure. The envoys will arrive on time in three days."

Xiaonan's mind was confused.
