Escape From Konoha

The joint investigation team of Konoha and other villages ceased operations in the Land of Rain. Such a quiet move did not bring the slightest danger to the temporary head of Amegakure, Konan. On the contrary, because of the silence of the investigation team, he became more vigilant.

Before the storm, the sea is always calm.

The previous investigation in the Land of Rain was just an appetizer, and the next action against Yugakure was the real test to be faced next.

As for this test, Yugakure has no way of providing an 'examination venue', so no matter what measures are taken, all the ninjas of the joint investigation team must be blocked and they cannot be allowed in again.

"How many of the Bai Jue summoned back can be mobilized and used in battle?"

Xiao Nan asked about Black Zetsu and White Zetsu who had just returned after going out to get information.

When things have progressed to this point, Xiaonan no longer has any hope of evacuating the villages of Konoha and not actively interfering with Amegakure's actions. Therefore, on the one hand, we must strictly reject the unreasonable demands of the four villages, and on the other hand, we must prepare for battle in advance.

As for the ninjas in the Rain Hidden Village, not only are they few in number, but their average strength is not high. Letting them go to the battlefield is just a matter of death.

The real elite of Amegakure had already been surrounded and wiped out by Sunagakure in the Third Ninja War.

After that, the elite forces left behind in the village were bloodbathed several times by Danzo's roots. The remaining ninjas were basically three or two big cats and kittens. The remaining genin cannot be used as combat power, and they are weak as cannon fodder.

Later, Nagato took over Amegakure. Although he also wanted to change the current situation of Amegakure's weak military strength, he still focused more on food.

Because there is no food, it is a problem for the people of the Rain Country to survive. There is no room to develop the military.

To solve the problem of food and clothing, we must also develop the economy so that business can revive in the Country of Rain. Development in the military field still has to lean back.

Therefore, sending Amegakure ninjas to fight was tantamount to risking death, but Bai Zetsu had no such concerns.

Xiaonan won't feel distressed when using it.

More importantly, Bai Zetsu has no idea of ​​low morale and will only follow orders. Although the average strength is only at the chunin level, very few can reach jonin, and there is only one individual like Xiang A Fei. Even so, it shouldn't be a problem to defend Yugakure in a short period of time.

The premise is that the villages in Konoha will not send large armies to suppress it.

"About six hundred, of which only seven or eight special individuals who have reached the level of Jonin can be mobilized. However, A Fei's injury has recovered, and his strength is enough to contain a main force of these villages. Kisame and Beilihu can also be dispatched at any time, and if used properly, they can last for half a month."

Hei Jue replied like this.

But that also means that Amegakure will be completely exposed to the eyes of several villages, and the conspiracy of the Demon Country will succeed.

"Only half a month?"

Xiaonan was not satisfied with this estimation result.

"Yes, this is the result of not taking the people of the Country of Rain as hostages in these villages. If they take some threatening measures within the Country of Rain, how are you going to deal with it?"

Hei Jue asked back.

Xiaonan's body stiffened and she was speechless.

There are too many weaknesses that the Kingdom of Rain can take advantage of, and every one of them is her weakness, and they can take advantage of her seven inches.

"The investigation team that came first will not come, but their army has assembled in a short time, and there are at least more than 20,000 ninjas. Even if they fight independently and put pressure on Yugakure, the village can be instantly shattered and destroyed. .”

To block 20,000 ninjas from attacking Yugakure from all directions at the same time, in Hei Zetsu's view, unless they have a defense system of the same level, it is impossible to do it alone.

Even if the God of Ninja is resurrected, he still cannot do this.

Unfortunately, Yugakure's defense system is basically tied to individuals rather than groups, and there are many loopholes that can be exploited.

"This is the worst possibility. We must prepare in advance. Although the detonating charms you placed around Amegakure are hidden, there are many sensing ninjas in villages like Konoha. There will always be one who can detect something is wrong and lure the enemy deep into them. You won’t fall into the trap either.”

Hei Jue's words made Xiaonan's heart even worse.

The strength of the Ninja Village of the Great Country does not lie in their military strength, but in the fact that their various internal systems are very complete and sound.

Scientific research, medical, intelligence, reconnaissance, barrier, sealing and other departments all perform their own duties, forming a huge and sophisticated war machine.

Military power cannot all be attributed to force. Logistics and supplies are also a very important part.

In addition, the Kingdom of Rain does not have much deep territory, which eliminates the possibility of a protracted war.

"Anyway, let's set up defenses first. Kisame, Beiruhu, and Abi also need to be deployed. From now on, inside Yugakure, I will conduct comprehensive surveillance and expel the enemies that have infiltrated. I’ll leave it to you to direct the outside.”

After Xiaonan finished speaking, cracks appeared on the skin of her body, and her body turned into pieces of white paper, like white snowflakes flying in the sky. Each piece of white paper folded into a butterfly and flew to every corner of Yuyin to prevent anyone from infiltrating. Yu Yin.

boom!

After the orange-red chakra lost control, it immediately exploded on the spot, destroying an entire patch of ground, revealing a huge irregular pit.

Naruto was exposed in the pothole, his chest heaving up and down, and he lay panting in it, staring blankly at the sky.

The body was wrapped with orange-red chakra like water mist, and then these orange-red chakra disappeared in the air like rising flames.

"Hey, Naruto, are you okay?"

Tenzo jumped in and saw Naruto lying motionless in the pit, looking at the sky absentmindedly. Apart from that, there seemed to be nothing else, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Since returning from Amegakure's mission that day, he had been transferred from the front line and began to cooperate with Naruto in training to tame the Nine-Tails chakra.

When Naruto loses control, he will suppress it with the power of Wood Release.

"Ah, it's okay, Mr. Yamato. He just can't control the power of the four-tailed state no matter what. He can only support the three-tailed state at most... Sure enough, that smelly fox is a bit strong."

Naruto sat up from the pothole. The clothes on his body were torn a lot, but in that level of explosion, there were not many wounds. It can be seen that his physique is very tenacious and his body bones are also very strong. He does not look like a human being. Humanity.

Tenzo guessed that this was probably related to the continuous training of tailed beast chakra.

If you don't have an extraordinary physique, you will die in endless pain just by being eroded by the tailed beast's chakra.

Especially when entering the half-tailed beast stage, the jinchuriki's skin will be torn open, exposing the flesh and blood, and the bones of the whole body will be roasted in the fire... Therefore, the jinchuriki who experienced this level survived in the end, and his will Strength and physique, to a certain extent, have begun to move towards the inhuman realm.

The limit that Naruto can achieve is to remain completely awake in the three-tailed state without being deprived of his sanity by the malice in the nine-tailed chakra. When entering the four-tailed stage, his sanity can only last for about ten seconds. There will be fewer and fewer, and finally they will become beasts that only know destruction.

If it weren't for the cooperation of the seal in Naruto's body, Tenzo wouldn't be able to guarantee that he could control Naruto in this state with his wood escape skills.

Chakra of that magnitude cannot be suppressed by him alone.

"Okay, Teacher Yamato, let's do it again now. After the previous failure, I seem to have grasped a little trick. As long as I calm down and turn myself into a 'dead person', I seem to be able to avoid the interference of the tailed beast's chakra. This It should last a little longer at a time.”

Saying that, without waiting for Tenzo to react, Naruto directly detonated the nine-tailed chakra in his body again. The orange-red chakra instantly covered his body, and then the chakra transformed into dark red, with four tails like giant pythons. , stirred into the sky, and set off a violent strong wind.

However, compared to the four-tailed state in the past, the current four-tailed state seems to be a bit more peaceful, but such peace still looks like a violent and ferocious attitude to outsiders.

"Hey, Naruto, wait, I'm not ready yet-"

Tenzo's shout was already too late, so he had to jump back, distance himself from Naruto, and at the same time began to form seals, preparing the technique in advance. Once Naruto lost control, he would use the sealing technique to suppress it.

…

"Between one minute and thirty-seven seconds to one minute and thirty-eight seconds... Ha, taming this chakra is really exciting."

Naruto lay exhausted on the ground. After a whole day of tossing, the chakra in his body finally bottomed out. All the bones in his body began to throb, especially the muscles. There was a burning tearing feeling that stimulated him. Nerves throughout the body.

However, from the first few seconds to now, he could last for one minute and thirty-seven seconds, and could maintain his sanity in the four-tailed state. Naruto couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

Although the use time of this trump card is somewhat short-lived, at least there is a new choice.

It's just that after transforming into a tailed beast, the image is a bit unacceptable.

And these growths are what he has completed in more than a month. Judging from the speed of a jinchuriki, it shouldn't be too slow.

From this point of view, he is really grateful for Myobokuzan's senjutsu and Fukasaku Sennin for teaching him the techniques of using natural energy.

After letting his mind empty out, he was able to suppress the malicious erosion of the tailed beast's chakra to a certain extent.

And integrating tailed beast chakra into senjutsu will greatly increase the power of the spells, although there is a small risk that these spells will fail and injure themselves.

——It’s really gratifying to grow up, Naruto. At this pace, maintaining sanity for five minutes in the four-tailed state should be achieved very quickly. After that, you can move on to the next stage of training.

Minato's voice rang in Naruto's mind.

The Nine-Tails' chakra was unusual. He had fought against other tailed beasts in the past, such as the Eight-Tailed Beasts, which ranked second in strength among the tailed beasts. However, he finally discovered that the chakra of the two tailed beasts, including the malice contained in the chakra, was not at all Not a magnitude.

Even if the Nine-Tails is only divided into half, its chakra seems to belong to another dimension.

Minato guessed that among the nine tailed beasts, the nature of the nine tails was different from that of the other tailed beasts. There was an extra thing that the other tailed beasts did not have, which made the chakra of the nine tails far stronger than that of the other tailed beasts. beast.

——Dad, does it have to be five minutes?

Naruto asked.

——Kyuubi’s chakra is no small matter. I am now training you to resist the tailed beast’s chakra. If you fail to pass this point, and you enter the final stage rashly, you will easily be swallowed up by the will of the Kyuubi. If you want to become a perfect Jinchuuriki, it is fundamental to keep your own will and not be transformed into a beast. However, your magic skills are better than mine, and your ability to sense natural energy is also very strong. It should take much faster time to tame the Nine-Tails.

Minato finally relieved himself.

He knew that Naruto was eager to become stronger now, but the process still needed to be done step by step.

——Furthermore, now that your resistance to the Kyuubi's chakra has become stronger, you can withdraw a large part of the chakra that was originally used to suppress the Kyuubi and put it into use in battle. Many of your moves require a lot of chakra to use, which is also a good thing for you.

This makes Minato very helpless and envious.

If he had Naruto's level of chakra during the Third Ninja War, he might be able to make his tactics more flexible and diverse, and penetrate the battlefield more easily. Instead of needing to take a break every time a battle is fought, the cycle repeats, which immediately slows down the pace of the war a lot.

Naruto thought for a while, that was really the case.

After his resistance to tailed beast chakra has become stronger these days, he can use more and more chakra. Others increase it through exercise, but he regains his own chakra by increasing his resistance to tailed beast chakra. .

September 22, noon.

In the land of rain, heavy rain falls.

"Jiraiya, Jiraiya!"

The voice summoning the frog appeared and stopped Jiraiya, who was hiding in a cave halfway up the mountain and cooking alone.

The weather outside was gloomy, with heavy rain covering the road and the forest at the foot of the mountain. You could still faintly see the distant sky, with lightning gleaming.

"It's you, have you eaten? I just made something to eat."

Jiraiya warmly greeted the frog and prepared to share the fresh food with it.

"Then I won't be polite."

The summoning frog was not polite. It came all the way and was indeed a little hungry.

Especially since Jiraiya made broth, it even attracted the saliva in its belly.

Picking up the bowls and chopsticks prepared on the side, he summoned Frog to serve himself a large bowl. After eating, he served another bowl, barely filling his stomach.

The summoning frog was lying on the ground, patting its round belly, looking like it was full.

Jiraiya ignored its expression of not wanting to speak for the time being and continued to eat.

After a long time, the summoning frog slowly sat up in an anthropomorphic manner, burped, and said: "Jiraiya, I already have some clues about the organization you asked me to investigate in this country. That organization, and this country , there seems to be some connection.”

"Oh, so fast?"

Jiraiya's eyes lit up, but he didn't put down his bowl and chopsticks. He just ate and asked what news he got from Summoning Frog.

Summoning Frog nodded and said: "I accidentally learned from some businessmen in the Kingdom of Rain that the reason why they have been able to do business stably in these years is all thanks to the so-called 'god' of Yugakure. Then they mentioned that that 'god' is the leader behind a certain organization and has some connections with the rebel ninja."

Jiraiya stopped eating and looked serious.

The thing you least wanted to hear happened.

He did not expect that the organization he had been pursuing would actually operate under the noses of the three major powers, and they would actually take away several tailed beasts.

These people are too bold.

"So, that 'god' has also betrayed Ninja?"

"No, it's not clear yet. They said very little, and they seemed to be very taboo about the village of that 'god'. Then they mentioned the name of the organization, which seemed to be called 'Akatsuki' or something."

The summoning frog shook his head and told the information he got.

"dawn?"

Jiraiya felt that he had heard the name of this organization somewhere, but maybe it was because it was so old that he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

Then, an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered something. He had heard the name "Xiao" somewhere before.

During the Third Ninja World War, an unofficial organization was formed by a group of young and passionate ninjas from Rain Hidden who were active in the multi-party war situation in the Land of Rain.

This organization is committed to the concept of peace and has prayed to various countries for peace talks and an end to wars.

However, because the war was at its most critical stage at that time, the organization's request was not heeded.

Eventually, this organization was affected by the war.

After the defeat of Yugakure, this organization was also suppressed at the root, and its leaders and members were wiped out, which kicked off the bloody rule of Yugakure.

The leader of this organization is none other than Yahiko, one of the three disciples he accepted in Amegakure about thirty years ago.

"How could it be Xiao? Impossible, this is impossible... This organization should have been..."

Jiraiya's mind suddenly became confused, and his low murmurs were filled with things he couldn't believe.

Everything about Xiao, with the moment of Yu Yin's defeat, had been lost in the dust of history and forgotten by people.

How could it still be going on to this day?

"Jiraiya, what's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong with the name of this organization?"

Summoning Frog was full of surprise. He didn't understand the name of this organization and what kind of magic power it had, which made Jiraiya fall into this almost crazy state.

This was the first time it saw Jiraiya so flustered.

"It can't be them...it can't be..."

Jiraiya's repeated answers made the Summoning Frog even more confused. Could this guy be crazy?

And Jiraiya vaguely recalled something.

Before the death of the Great Toad Immortal, there was another prophecy——

There is another darkness brewing in the ninja world, which may destroy Konoha. The brewer calls himself...'God'!

Jiraiya's body seemed to be electrocuted and he couldn't move.

The destruction of Konoha... Kami... Amegakure... Akatsuki...

This is a blood debt!

Suddenly, Jiraiya suddenly understood something and stood up from the ground suddenly.

Although there are more things that he has not figured out, it does not hinder his other judgment.

Amegakure will be detrimental to Konoha!

Therefore, before such a thing happens, he, as a ninja of Konoha, must go and stop it!

There is also this war that may break out soon!

If his guess is not wrong, the true form of that 'god' is probably...

Jiraiya immediately took out a blank scroll, took out a pen, and started writing quickly.

About ten minutes later, Jiraiya finished the scroll and placed it in front of the Summoning Frog.

"Summon Frog, send this scroll to the investigation team, and then ask them to hand the scroll to Tsunade. Next, I will enter Yugakure to investigate."

"Eh? Are you in such a hurry? That's probably the enemy's base camp. You're messing around like this..."

Summoning Frog thought Jiraiya's approach was too random.

"No, if it is really what I guessed, then only I can stop them!"

Jiraiya's firm words made the Summoning Frog not know what to say, so he nodded, bit the scroll, and set off for Konoha.

"Please, Summoning Frog, if I am in Yugakure..."

Jiraiya watched the summoned frog leave, took a deep breath, and made some determination in his heart.

…

Summoning Frog was running all the way, almost using up all his strength, trying to find the Konoha survey force in the Land of Rain in the shortest possible time and deliver the scroll.

Just when it was about to jump to the next landing point, the sound of breaking wind hit it, making it suddenly startled and ducked away.

A meteor hammer covered with thorns flew through the air, smashing the ground into pieces and splashing out a large amount of gravel and mud.

Jumping into the air, the Summoning Frog escaped the blow with lingering fear. Fortunately, it dodged in time, otherwise its body would have been smashed to pieces by the meteor hammer.

It glanced away and saw a red and white witch wearing a mask appearing not far away, holding a chain connected to the meteor hammer in her hand. The eyes under the mask seemed to have some kind of smile.

Oops! The Summoning Frog noticed something, but it was already in mid-air and was unable to dodge.

The blue light was like a thin slice swiping from behind the summoning frog.

Summoning Frog felt pain in his body, and before he could scream, his body was cut into two parts, and the two parts fell down.

The young man, whose lenses were stained with rain, casually wiped away the blood on the chakra scalpel in his right hand. Without even looking at the corpse of the Summoning Frog, he shouted to the miko:

"Dean, it's been taken care of."

"Thank you for your hard work, Kabuto. Next..."

The miko came over, picked up the scroll that had fallen to her feet, spread it out and glanced aside, then waved her palm to eliminate all the speculative words on it, and then picked up another one of the same style as Jiraiya The pen is attached with chakra and imitates the aura of Jiraiya's chakra to write on it.

Forging glyphs and simulating chakra is not a difficult task for a senior spy who has conquered other villages' intelligence systems.

——Tsunade, I probably won’t be able to go back. The organization’s name is ‘Akatsuki’. Please contact the allies immediately to form a ninja alliance and reveal their horrific conspiracy to enslave the whole world...

After finishing writing, the miko looked it over carefully and nodded with satisfaction after finding that there were no problems.

"Leave it to you. In another seven or eight hours, it will be sent to Konoha."

The miko threw out the written scroll.

A black shadow jumped out and bit the scroll.

It's a toad with similar patterns and body shape to the frog summoned before.

The toad glanced at the summoning frog that had been broken into two parts, and felt sad in his heart.

"Don't forget our agreement, I will help you complete this matter, and you are not allowed to do anything to Miaomu Mountain again."

The toad glared at the witch, and because he was holding the scroll in his mouth, his voice could barely be heard clearly.

The witch nodded: "Don't worry, God is kind to you. As long as you keep your peace in the future and don't interfere in the affairs of our country of ghosts, we don't want to completely ruin things and cause too much killing."

Although Toad didn't believe it, for the safety of the remaining clan members, he could only obey the arrangement, bid farewell to the witch and leave here. Although the current residence of Myoboku Mountain is hidden, no matter how hidden it is, it cannot be as hidden as the original Myoboku Mountain. If the Demon Country really wants to look for it, it is impossible to find it. The only difference is whether it wants to exterminate them all.

The witch didn't pay attention to the toad's departure.

"The curtain is about to begin, Kabuto, after being out for so long, it's time for us to go back..."
