Escape From Konoha

Baishi, who was surrounded by everyone's suspicious, vigilant, and angry eyes, suddenly became the only focus of the scene.

The ice and snow were bitterly cold, whistling and blowing, and the snowflakes fluttered on people's clothes and faces, bringing a tingling sensation like a knife blade.

However, Bai Shi didn't pay attention to this. The eyes he looked at were colder and biting than the sword-like ice and snow.

"Is there anything else you need to explain?"

Tsunade looked directly at Shiraishi, took a deep breath, seemed to be adjusting her restless and irritable mood, and still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.

"Explain? Explain what?"

Shiraishi's originally cold expression melted a little, and he looked at Tsunade with a strange expression.

"Tsunade-sensei, I have long said that this world does not need innocence, nor does it need a self-righteous sense of justice. From the day you rejected my invitation, you were destined to have such a day. If you want to ask me why I am doing this Do it because you are my enemy, isn’t this reason enough?”

Tsunade's breath hitched.

"In other words, you admit that Jiraiya was attracted by you..."

"No, I just gave him the information he needed. On the contrary, he should be grateful to me. I allowed him to find his student who had been missing for many years. At the moment of his death, he was able to relive the warm and heart-warming teacher. The feeling of life. This should be something worth being happy about."

Shiraishi's tone of voice was gentle and not at all irritable, but after the truth was revealed, there was no excuse for him to continue to defend himself.

"You bastard! Shut up!"

Tsunade was about to say something, but a powerful chakra burst out from behind. Naruto's figure passed Tsunade, rushed towards Shiraishi at lightning speed, and punched Shiraishi in the face.

boom!

A violent sound vibrated in the air.

Ayane suddenly flashed in front of Shiraishi and pressed her palm against Naruto's fierce fist wrapped in Senjutsu chakra.

Chaotic air currents exploded everywhere, flying Ayane's beautiful long hair. Although she was smiling on her fair and flawless face, her pure white pupils were full of indifference, giving her a ruthless and cold-blooded look.

"He is such an impulsive guy. However, you must have picked the wrong person. I only provided information. I was not the one who actually killed Jiraiya." Shiraishi seemed not to notice that Naruto was almost killing someone. Looking at it, he then added, "Of course, if he didn't go to Yuyin to investigate as planned, maybe I would do it myself and give him a ride."

His eyes were sincere and sincere, but precisely because of this unconcerned look, Naruto was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"Shiraishi-kun, don't make sarcastic remarks to irritate him here. It's me who will solve your trouble."

Ayane turned her head slightly and said helplessly.

"Sorry for causing trouble to you, Ayane."

Shiraishi looked at Naruto seriously, and then began to apologize as if he was belatedly thinking about it.

"It doesn't matter. Who asked me to deal with a man like you? It's the wife's responsibility to solve her husband's problems."

Ayane answered without any nervousness.

Seeing the two people's expressions of "catching each other's eyes" here, not taking him seriously at all, the look in Naruto's eyes that wanted to kill became even more intense.

"You two...be serious!"

The air vibrated more violently.

The power in Naruto's fist also began to increase.

However, no matter how much his strength increased, he could not shake Ayane's body in the slightest. His palms remained motionless in mid-air, perfectly blocking Naruto from a safe distance.

The extremely angry roar made Ayane turn her head, and her pure white pupils and azure blue pupils looked at each other.

"The strength of the fist is good, but the heat seems to be a little lacking. Go back."

A stream of physical chakra was released from Ayane's palm, instantly blowing out a strong wind and knocking Naruto's body away.

Naruto adjusted his body and foot position in mid-air, stopped in front of Tsunade, and settled firmly.

Ayane raised her eyebrows and was surprised when she saw Naruto's calm posture as he landed firmly.

"Being able to remove the power of my 'God's Sky Strike', it seems that defeating Six Paths Pain was not just a coincidence. Moreover, it seems that he has grown much more than before without using the Nine-Tails Chakra."

Although the power of the 'divine air strike' released casually is very limited, not everyone can withstand it perfectly.

Judging from Naruto's appearance, he was just knocked away, but his body was not in any condition. It can be imagined that her attack had no impact on Naruto.

"Damn it! I want to avenge the lecherous immortal!"

Naruto gritted his teeth without letting go, wanting to continue his attack, and began to hold his breath.

"Stop it, Naruto. I know you're angry, but anger doesn't solve things."

Tsunade held down Naruto's shoulders, stifling his desire to continue fighting.

"But I can't forgive this guy."

"He is right. The enemy's words, no matter what method they use, are just a matter of course. If you want to blame us, we can only blame us for not being vigilant enough now, so we were fooled by the enemy."

Although Tsunade, like Naruto, held very strong resentment in her heart, anger could not solve anything.

After all, in addition to the kingdom of ghosts represented by Shiraishi, there are also powerful enemies like Nagato who don't know the depth. They cannot be carried away by anger and behave irrationally.

From the current position of the Five Shadows, it has become more subtle at this time.

Starting a war here will only make things worse.

"That's right, now is not the time to resolve your personal grudges between Konoha and the Kingdom of Demons. You are the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, right? As a ninja, you should never lose your cool, otherwise you will be close to death. Before embarking on Before the world is called the ninja world, one should have the awareness to sacrifice at any time. The three ninjas, Jiraiya, are just one of countless victims."

Onoki floated over and lectured Naruto in the tone of an elder.

"Mr. Onoki, please stop saying a few words."

Tsunade glared at Onoki dissatisfied.

"Princess Tsunade, you are too protective of your Jinchuuriki. To develop ninjas, you must not only strengthen their strength, but also keep the necessary ninja experience in mind. This should be the foundation of ninjas, obviously Mu Ye has the most complete educational institution, but it hasn’t even taught the Jinchūriki about this. No wonder your Konoha has been going downhill these years."

Onoki shook his head. Although it was the first time for him and Naruto to meet, they could see directly into each other's hearts through each other's eyes.

Such a pure look without any negativity, it is hard to imagine that it would be the look of a jinchuriki.

This kind of guy probably doesn't even have basic vigilance towards people.

However, Ohnoki also stopped talking and did not continue talking. As an outsider, he had reached his limit when he said this.

"More than this, I want to know whether what the Akatsuki leader said before is true. Your country of ghosts has secretly prepared war supplies for a hundred thousand troops in advance, and secretly mobilized elite ninja troops to station in the wind. Is there a border between the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Earth? Your Excellency, Minister of Military Affairs of the Kingdom of Ghosts, if you want to defend yourself, I can listen to you."

Ohnoki stared deeply at Shiraishi.

"Yes, the Tsuchikage's question is also what I want to ask. Have you, the Demon Country, ever done this? Please answer us, Your Excellency, Minister of Military Affairs. We will target the Demon Country based on your answer. Take appropriate measures.”

Luo Sha stood beside Ohnoki and began to question Shiraishi.

It is related to the border gateway between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth, and there is no possibility of concession here.

Not only Rasa and Onoki, but also the Fourth Raikage, Tsunade as the Hokage, and Terumi Mei as the Mizukage also had serious expressions on their faces, waiting for Shiraishi's answer.

If the answer is yes, they need to reconsider whether the Ghost Country is worthy of being included in the alliance, and the hope of easing will become very slim. While guarding against Akatsuki, we must also be on guard against the invasion of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

If the answer is no, then everyone will naturally be happy, and the previous unhappiness can be completely suppressed and treated as if it did not happen for the time being.

Everyone's eyes focused on him again, waiting for his response.

Bai Shi just stared at them calmly, his eyes were calm and there was no fluctuation at all.

"It's really interesting."

After a while, Shiraishi suddenly smiled, which was surprising.

"You said...interesting?"

Onoki and the others narrowed their eyes, and their gazes became dangerous.

The others also began to frown, unable to understand what Shiraishi meant by interesting.

"Yeah, when did a group of mercenaries who revolved around the old era learn to question people? Isn't this quite interesting?"

Shiraishi said with a smile, his expression remained unchanged despite being surrounded by powerful enemies.

"Asshole, what are you talking about? You dare to say that we are mercenaries. This is the order that our ancestors have finally established. How can you be allowed to speak so loudly here! Others are afraid of your ghost country, but we Yunyin are not afraid!"

The aura on the Fourth Raikage's body suddenly became violent, his whole body was wrapped with fierce lightning, and his eyes shot out an extremely cold gaze. I believe that if Shiraishi doesn't give a suitable reason, he will never give up easily.

Darui and Xi behind him were also in fighting postures. Shiraishi's face, which they considered very arrogant, made them unhappy.

After all, Shiraishi humiliated not only Konoha, but also the other villages, and fundamentally denied the merits of their past Kages.

Let them not accept such humiliation.

"Is it so easy?" Shiraishi's eyes widened slightly when he heard this, as if he heard some incredible words, and then he laughed again: "Interesting, isn't your village a 'replica' built to imitate Konoha? You actually said that this is the order that your ancestors have finally established... Not only is the body full of muscles, but the brain seems to have been replaced by muscles, Fourth Generation Ai."

"I'm going to tear that mouth of yours off!"

The Fourth Raikage's eyes almost burst into flames, as if he was angry and angry, as if he wanted to eat people. Without any explanation, the figure flickered on the spot and disappeared.

"Wait, Raikage, don't be provoked like this-"

Unfortunately, it's too late.

The Fourth Raikage's body swayed on the spot, and immediately disappeared from the air. The next second, he was directly above Shiraishi, and the fist wrapped in lightning was aimed directly at Shiraishi.

Without Shiraishi taking action, Ayane had already raised her head and used her Byakugan to capture the movement trajectory of the Fourth Raikage in advance. A huge amount of chakra instantly gathered in her palm, and a terrifying aura rippled in the air as if it were alive.

"God's Sky Strike!"

boom!

Buildings rumbled and exploded.

The storm air flow generated by the explosion suppressed the progress of the Fourth Raikage, and the opposite impact bombarded the Fourth Raikage's thick body, causing him to fly back and roll on the ground for more than ten meters before he could stop. Down.

The huge pothole that was originally there expanded several times again under the bombardment of Ayane's soft fist, almost leaving this area without a foothold, so the others had no choice but to retreat to the edge of the building and start to settle down.

"Hyuga Ayane, your soft fist is still the same as before, as sharp and fierce as a beast, but you are a little careless."

After the Fourth Raikage got up from the ground, the Thunder Armor on his chest was almost broken, and was shattered by the impact of the Divine Sky Strike, leaving only a thin layer of chakra armor.

A mouthful of blood spat out from the Fourth Raikage's mouth, and he stared at Ayane with gloomy and murderous eyes.

Compared to Nagato's repulsion, Ayane's soft fists did more damage to him.

His own thunder armor, which was harder than steel, was as brittle as a piece of paper under the opponent's soft fist, directly hitting his internal organs.

"You can still stand up without any injuries. It's so troublesome. Did you train your internal organs specially... What a monster."

Through her Byakugan, Ayane saw the condition of the Fourth Raikage's internal organs. It looked like he was vomiting blood, but in fact, the injuries were not serious.

The Fourth Raikage's internal organs could completely withstand the impact of her soft fists, and it would take multiple blows to produce an intuitive effect.

But such an opportunity is not easy to find. The reason why he was able to hit the target just now was because the opponent temporarily lost his cool when he was angry.

If you are in a calm state, it is not easy to catch up with the Fourth Raikage, let alone hit the opponent's body with a soft fist.

"Compared to me, you are the real monster. You may have such a weak body, but you can always burst out with such terrifying power."

The Fourth Raikage expressed his true feelings.

The body is obviously not strong. It can even be said that except for the chest, there are basically no strong parts, and the muscles are not very obvious. It does not look like a powerful ninja at all.

However, in every battle, in terms of strength, he always falls into the disadvantage.

This gap has not begun to narrow as time goes by. On the contrary, this gap seems to be even greater than before.

Ayane's face showed displeasure. Although this was true, as a woman, being called a monster meant that even she could not help but feel angry.

"Shiraishi-kun, can I kill him here?"

Ayane puffed up her cheeks slightly and locked eyes with the Fourth Raikage with dangerous eyes.

"It still has some effect. If you want to deal with it, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. There is no need to rush."

Shiraishi's words stopped Ayane from going on a killing spree here.

"Tch. You and your wife are both equally arrogant, but don't you underestimate our Five Shadows too much?"

Ohnoki flew over, his chakra gathered in his hands, and Chen Escape was activated at any time. He snorted coldly and glared at him with murderous eyes.

"With five people, it might be a bit troublesome. But today, my plan was completely ruined. Baimi is really not as good as Yishu. No matter how careful the plan is, as long as one link goes wrong, all my plans will be exposed. Therefore, I feel there is no point in staying here.”

Shiraishi sighed with a melancholy expression.

"So, do we regard your words as a declaration of war?"

Terumi Mei's eyes fell on Shiraishi, his face solemn.

"Boy Shiraishi, you plan to join the alliance, gain dominance in it, and then secretly guide the ninja villages of our five major countries to the point of decisive battle with Akatsuki, and then you, the country of ghosts, will reap the benefits."

Tsunade guessed something.

With the strength of the Demon Country, once they join the alliance, they can compete for the alliance's leader seat just like Kumogakure's Raikage. Moreover, in terms of national military strength and personal leadership, Shiraishi has a greater chance of winning against Raikage.

In that case, Shiraishi may eventually become the leader of the alliance. If the other party takes the opportunity to do something, it may lead to the weakening of Akatsuki and the five major countries at the same time, leaving the Demon Country as the dominant one.

The troops stationed at the border between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth also prove the restlessness of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

"If I said no, you probably wouldn't believe it, Tsunade-sensei."

Shiraishi continued to sigh and raised his hands, as if he had no choice but to surrender.

Then, he raised his head and glanced at Nagato, who was standing on the high platform and had not moved when he and the Five Shadows were confronting each other.

The other party seemed to be an indifferent spectator, standing there with a detached attitude. From the beginning to the end, his expression did not change, making it unclear what he was thinking in his heart.

"This time, let's just say you're back in the game, Nagato. Those White Zetsus, it seems, are not completely a bunch of idiots, they actually noticed this."

Nagato nodded, accepting Shiraishi's failure as a matter of course, and replied: "Unlike the White Zetsu who monitor the five major countries, those who monitor the Demon Country are all special White Zetsu individuals. They have stronger combat and lurking capabilities. . Even so, we still lost a lot before we found some clues. If your plan succeeds, both me and the five major countries will suffer a fatal blow."

"Failure is failure, and I won't look for excuses to sugarcoat it."

Nagato could see Shiraishi's irritation as he continued to endure it. It was estimated that the exposure of such a plan would be a heavy blow to the Kingdom of Demons.

I was so well prepared, but failed at the last minute.

At the very least, the combat strategy of letting Akatsuki and the five major nations fight each other so that the Kingdom of Demons could win effortlessly would undoubtedly end in failure.

Even if there are backup strategies that can be used, they still need to be readjusted, which is not a huge amount of work that can be completed in a short while.

Therefore, after sealing the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails, he immediately intervened in the Five Shadows Conference, not to prevent the five major nations from uniting, but to prevent the Kingdom of Demons from getting involved and allowing the six major nations to form an alliance.

In that case, the crisis on his side will be even greater.

A three-way battle was the chessboard he wanted to present perfectly.

Only in this way can Xiao break away from this chess game and become the ultimate winner.

"Then, Mr. Shiraishi, do you want to form an alliance with me? Just like how we plotted against Konoha's Nine-Tails and plotted against the Yondaime Hokage's Yellow Flash sixteen years ago."

Nagato continued to reveal this bombshell news.

Compared to those rumors, it was more convincing if he, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, said it himself.

Seeing Konoha's almost cannibalistic look, especially Naruto's, if Tsunade hadn't stopped him, Shiraishi probably wouldn't have been so simple if he wanted to leave here today.

Until this time, Nagato was still worried about him, and the exposure of their close cooperative relationship in the past deepened the bad blood between him and the five major powers.

At least Konoha would never allow him to join the Alliance Army.

The death of the Fourth Hokage, forcing the Third Hokage to commit suicide, the surprise attack on his ally Mt. Myoboku, the indulgence of Uchiha Sasuke in attacking Konoha, the deliberate guidance of Jiraiya to investigate the sacrifice of Amegakure... none of it could be separated from his behind-the-scenes control.

Coupled with the cooperation with Akatsuki, these villages whose tailed beasts were taken away by Akatsuki also began to doubt whether Oni Country had been involved in the Akatsuki organization's plot to seize the tailed beasts in the past, and their identification with him dropped to a freezing point.

"Haha, everyone is betrayed... so to speak. In short, I have remembered the lesson this time. However, Nagato, don't take it lightly because of this victory. No one knows who will stand and laugh until the last moment. Until the end. And I’m also very interested in your Rinnegan and the Infinite Tsukuyomi.”

Shiraishi's words immediately caused a strong backlash from the five shadows including Tsunade, and their expressions changed.

After Shiraishi's narration and Nagato's acquiescence, the Ten-Tails, an aggregate of nine tailed beasts, and the Infinite Tsukuyomi must be real.

Once such power falls into the hands of careerists, it will inevitably cause absolute destruction to the ninja world.

Although they also long for domination, Infinite Tsukuyomi is not domination at all, but the extermination of mankind.

Ambitions with such ideas must be stopped!

However, Shiraishi wanted to anticipate such a reaction from the Five Shadows in advance. A smiling face blurred and dispersed in the wind and snow. By the time he wanted to stop it, Shiraishi's figure had lost all traces.

Also disappearing with him were Ayane and Sai as bodyguards, who did not stay much longer.

"Escaped?"

Kumogakure Jōnin Nozomi looked at the ground where Shiraishi and the others had lost their traces, and murmured.

"No, even if we all join the war, we may not be able to keep the three of them. Let's not forget the white-eyed kid. The other two have the strength to fight a thousand people. They just think that it is not suitable to start a war at this time. They need We went back to re-formulate our offensive strategy and made a strategic retreat."

The Jonin Ao of Kirigakure who answered him shook his head at Nozomi and said seriously.

"That's right. According to the statistics we got from Iwagakure, even if we send five thousand elite ninjas to encircle and suppress the monster Hyuga Ayane, we may not be able to succeed. That is a real monster. Her man is probably as strong as On par with her, it is said that he once wiped out thousands of ninjas in an instant with a single forbidden technique."

As a genius ninja from Iwagakure, Kurotsuchi put his hands behind his head and spoke like this.

During the Fourth Ninja War, it was Hyuga Ayane who fought against Iwagakure's side.

Those indestructible soft fists and indestructible body cannot even be broken by earth escape, which brings boundless fear to the Iwagakure ninja.

Just one person killed the four border troops of the Kingdom of Earth back and forth. He fought without sleep for dozens of hours, but his chakra and physical strength were still bottomless.

There were at least two thousand Iwagakure ninjas who died directly at her hands.

If she hadn't been transferred to Mount Myoboku to fight, Iwagakure would have suffered even greater losses in the Fourth Ninja War.

Even though there are five Kages here, as well as elite jounin from each village, and nearly a hundred ANBU, it is still beyond their power to keep the three Shiraishis.

What's more, there was also the leader of the Akatsuki organization who was also eyeing him.

In this case, allowing Shiraishi and the others to leave here is, in Kurotsuchi's opinion, the most correct choice.

Under Kurotsuchi's observation, it was indeed the case. The Five Shadows did not stop the three Shiraishis from leaving. Although there was hesitation on their faces, they finally thought of something and instinctively stopped them.

"It's really letting the tiger return to the mountain."

Onoki sighed, the look of worry in his eyes getting stronger.

Although the signal for Shiraishi's departure was not stated clearly, it had already been made clear that the Kingdom of Ghosts would actively prepare for war, and the target of the attack would be one of the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth, or... both at the same time. Aiming for a big country.

Onoki, who realized the powerful military front of the Demon Country, believed that the Demon Country had the strong military power to swallow up two big countries.

There is no doubt about this.

"It's time for us to make some preparations when we go back. We must be careful of the attack of the Kingdom of Ghosts. War may come silently."

Luo Sha nodded, the worry in his eyes was no less than Ohnoki's.

"Before that, we have one more thing to deal with."

Tsunade turned around, knowing that the Demon Country was completely eliminated from the alliance, and looked at Nagato.

The leader of the Akatsuki organization is still lingering and has not left.
