Escape From Konoha

The war came suddenly.

The Country of Fire is close to the border between the Country of Grass and the Country of Rain. The ninja troops stationed there were almost completely wiped out. Only a few Konoha ninjas escaped death and passed the news of the attack of the Sunagakure ninjas back to the Konoha Village.

Although they were furious that the Sunagakure ninjas were provoking war against the Land of Fire, the top management of Konoha, headed by the Third Hokage, immediately made war arrangements and mobilized ninjas in the village to form troops and march toward the border to begin support.

At this time, the peace treaty signed between countries is nothing more than a piece of rotten paper.

Compared with those ninjas who have experienced great ninja wars, genin who have just graduated from school do not feel too many crises.

Although they knew that many people would die when the war broke out, they still held a naive and optimistic attitude before witnessing the real war, and had no idea what kind of hell would await them next.

In the hell called war, Chunin's life is in danger at any time, and Jounin will soon die tragically on the battlefield if he is besieged.

Kunai and shurikens flew in from nowhere, or they were blown up by detonating talismans.

In the large-scale war launched by Ninja Village and Ninja Village, no matter how strong the ninja is, he dare not say that he can survive to the end.

Therefore, most Konoha ninjas have a pessimistic attitude towards war.

Once the war breaks out, it means that they will be separated from their relatives, lovers and friends.

But even if you are pessimistic, you must rush to the front line regardless of your own safety and fight the enemy to the end for the village and the country.

◎

The sudden outbreak of the war made the atmosphere on the streets of Konoha much more deserted. Everyone prayed at home for their loved ones who went to the battlefield, and prayed for their safe return.

"Liu Li, do you want to go out now?"

Seeing Liuli who was about to go out, Shiraishi walked behind her and asked.

"Well, there is a patrol mission, and the location of the activity is around the village."

"Will you come back tonight?"

Shiraishi paused and then asked again.

"The shift changes around eight o'clock in the evening. I will be back by then. What's wrong?"

Liuli felt that Bai Shi seemed to have something to say to her, and tilted her head slightly.

"It's nothing. The main thing is that I want to tell you something. But since you have something to do now, I'll wait until you come back to discuss it later in the evening."

"I know, be careful."

The Sunagakure spies who have infiltrated the village, or the roots led by Danzo, are all things to pay attention to.

Although he knew that with Baishi's strength, he didn't need to worry about any danger from him, he still couldn't help but remind him.

After watching Liuli leave, Baishi paused at the door for a moment, then returned to the room to rest.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Shiraishi started to go for a walk.

The place for the walk was very random, as if I were really out for a walk to relax, without any purpose.

Great, no changes here either. He thought to himself.

Every time Shiraishi went to a place, he used the sensory ninjutsu to investigate. He re-investigated the locations that were planned to break away from Konoha and create disturbances one by one in detail to see if there were any omissions.

It was determined that there were no changes in the patrol teams in these places, and patrols continued along the same route as before. Even the time for cross-replacement of duties after every half hour was consistent with before.

but……

Shiraishi looked in a certain direction, and he could clearly sense that there were four more guards in that direction.

A class of ANBU.

Including the original ANBU squad, there were a total of eight ANBU ninjas.

Because of the war, there must have been more forces protecting that place.

After that, Shiraishi wandered around to other places, and at about 3:30 in the afternoon, he strolled towards the ninja school.

The school was not affected at all. It can only be said that the graduates in recent years were not lucky enough to catch up with this kind of war era.

Whether they are crying or laughing, from the day they become real ninjas, they have the obligation to go to the battlefield.

However, all this has nothing to do with him, a chuunin who works as a logistics medical ninja in Konoha. He has not received any transfer orders from the village.

His current superior is Tsunade, and Tsunade is currently serving in the ninja school and seems to have no plans to go to the front line...

Although Shiraishi is confused, after all, the war is coming, and according to his prediction, the probability of Tsunade going to the battlefield is very high. On the battlefield, her medical ninjutsu can play a great role.

Why stay in the village?

Moreover, there was no order from the higher-ups of the village, which was really strange.

Is there any special reason?

Although I am very confused about this, because of this, I can now stay in Konoha without any worries.

Otherwise, he would have been looking for excuses to stay in Konoha.

He originally had his words ready, but he didn't expect to use them at all.

"Senior Shiraishi."

When he arrived at the school office, Shiraishi saw Shizune first, smiled and nodded at her.

"You're here."

Walking into the office, Tsunade who was sitting there raised her head, her face was red, she must have been drinking before.

"Really, Tsunade-sensei, why don't you drink at this time?"

"What does it matter? It won't affect class anyway."

Tsunade waved her hand and said not to worry. She was only slightly drunk and her consciousness was still very clear, so it would not affect the class.

"I'm not worried about this... Well, forget it, you won't listen anyway. But at the front line, it would be a little bit to rely on Orochimaru-senpai alone..."

"Jiraiya will lead the other troops there tomorrow, no problem."

Tsunade said.

Sure enough, the village's senior officials are already rapidly preparing a second unit and will go to the battlefield tomorrow.

So, tomorrow night is the best time to do it...

With Tsunade's revelation, Shiraishi was even more certain of this.

"Tsunade-sensei, is it really okay not to go with us? I heard that Sunagakure Village is coming fiercely this time, and over there on the front line..."

A look of worry appeared on Shiraishi's face.

Shizune hesitated to speak on the side, but after thinking about it, she still didn't say anything. After all, this matter is an important secret in the village and cannot be easily exposed to irrelevant people.

She also knew a thing or two because she lived with Tsunade.

This is top secret information in the village.

"I said it's okay, so you don't have to worry. With the abilities of the two of them, they should be enough to stop the Sunagakure ninja. And I'm tired of fighting. This teaching job was forced on me by Sarutobi-sensei."

Tsunade put an end to the topic cleverly and stared out the window, feeling absent-minded for a while.

It was obvious that no matter how calm he pretended to be on his face, he was still worried about Orochimaru and Jiraiya in his heart.

Not wanting to bother Tsunade, Shiraishi sat in his own seat and started preparing lessons, while Shizune prepared two cups of hot tea and placed them on the table in front of Tsunade and Shiraishi.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, the classes in the school ended. After answering some students' questions about medical care, Shiraishi left the school and continued to wander around the village.

After wandering around until it was completely dark, Shiraishi returned to the Uchiha clan when he saw that time was almost up.

Today's inspection work is over. As long as we do another inspection tomorrow night before the official action, there will be no problem.

As long as there are no major changes in the plan, there is no need to adjust it, but the biggest problem now is how to explain it to Liuli at night.

Shiraishi wasn't too sure about whether Ruri would leave Konoha with him.

The relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha is very deep, and Ruri is a ninja of the Uchiha clan. The relationship between Uchiha and Konoha is also the relationship between Ruri and Konoha.

In short, no matter what the outcome is, just accept it calmly.

It's time to say goodbye to this village.

He asked the person in charge of Shionhua Company to transfer the precious drug research data to Konoha on the condition that Konoha organizes the training of medical ninjas. This was the final gift.

Go back and have a rest, and then wait for Liuli to come back and confess that he is leaving Konoha. This is the choice Shiraishi makes in his heart at this moment.

With this decision in mind, Shiraishi returned to his room, quietly waiting for Liuli to come back after the patrol mission and confess to her.

"It's half past seven..."

I remember Liuli said that she changed shifts with other teams around eight o'clock, and there was only half an hour left.

Baishi smiled bitterly. To be honest, he didn't know why, but he felt uneasy.

If you think about it carefully, it's not a big deal. All you need to do is explain it clearly. As a result, I was already so nervous before the rightful owner came back.

Really, go wash your face first, calm down, and sort out your thoughts.

Shiraishi thought for a while and headed towards the bathroom.

There was a light on in the corridor, so the scene in the corridor was clearly visible. Walking towards me was a maid carrying food on a tray.

"Well, dinner is already prepared, do you want to use it now?"

said the maid.

"Leave it in the restaurant, Liuli will be back soon."

"yes."

After the maid finished speaking, she suddenly raised her head and met Shiraishi's gaze, with a sharp scarlet light flashing in her eyes.

In the scarlet light, three black magatama rotated, releasing powerful eye power.

After the illusion was successful, the maid took out a short knife from under the dinner plate and stabbed Shiraishi in the heart without mercy.

The expression on Shiraishi's face did not loosen at all.

The short knife in the maid's hand did stab him in the body.

But in an instant, the scene suddenly began to change.

A huge water ball enveloped the maid, which contained a large amount of chakra, making the water pressure in the water ball extremely heavy. The maid felt that her body and limbs could not move, and she struggled painfully in the water ball, spitting bubbles.

"That's it."

A cold voice came from directly behind Shiraishi.

If you don't dodge, you will definitely be killed. The source of that murderous aura is far more terrifying than the maid who attacks you.

Moreover, the maid's frozen state at the moment indicated that the reason why she assassinated her was that she was obviously controlled by illusion.

And after controlling the maid, he also set up a Sharingan genjutsu in the maid's eyes.

This is a double illusion release.

Within the Uchiha clan, the ninjas who can do this are all elite jounin with countless names.

"!?"

The sneak attacker's eyes widened, and a dark shadow appeared out of nowhere, appearing in a physical form. It was a pair of strange-shaped black shadow blades, each one capable of killing a person, and attacked him .

The sneak attacker broke out in a cold sweat and jumped back, keeping a safe distance from Shiraishi.

So, what is that?

shadow?

He touched the blood on his face and found a cut on his face at some point.

If it had been slower, his head would probably have been separated from his body by now.

There was neither sound nor mass. If his own pain sensation hadn't come into play to remind him that he was under attack, he wouldn't even have known that he had been attacked by a counterattack.

Isn't this guy a medical ninja?

This should be recorded in the intelligence, right?

Why is there no information about that black shadow’s ability at all?

Shiraishi turned around, and the black shadow swirling around his body disappeared. The mysterious ninja wearing a black mask in front of him revealed a pair of three magatama sharingan eyes.

You can see that this mysterious Uchiha jounin has a look of surprise and wavering in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, but little tricks like genjutsu are of no use to me. Also, who are you? I shouldn't have offended anyone in the Uchiha."

Shiraishi looked at the Uchiha ninja who launched a sneak attack on him with some confusion.

He really didn't quite understand why the Uchiha ninja wanted to assassinate him.

The murderous intent just now and the illusion spell cast on the maid were obviously serious actions and not a joke.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

Instead of answering Baishi, he used Fire Release to attack Baishi.

The huge fireball rushed from the front, causing the surrounding air to become scorching.

Shiraishi sighed and scratched his head.

There is really no way, what is this?

As he scratched his head, the shadow seeped out from the shadows, forming a dark shield wall in front of him, bouncing the fireball away.

Behind Shiraishi, the Uchiha ninja wearing a black mask appeared there using the teleportation technique.

The fireball technique was just a feint, this was his real purpose.

Although the method is very simple, it is a very effective technique in actual combat.

Whether it was the use of ninjutsu or timing, the opponent knew it very well.

However--

"ah!"

cried out in agony.

Blood flew.

Waiting for him in front are still a large number of shadow blades, and the adjustment of the direction of the shadow shield wall and transformation into a shadow blade attack is only completed in an instant.

That kind of terrifying speed, even if the Sharingan sees through the pattern, it can't keep up with the attack speed that exceeds human common sense.

The Uchiha ninja's body was scratched and bruised, and he flew backwards.

He fell to the ground and rolled over, leaving spots of blood on the floor.

"You guy...were you merciful at the beginning?"

Even with the three Magatama Sharingan, he couldn't keep up with the speed of the shadow technique's attack.

Even if the Sharingan can see through the attack patterns of those shadows, his neurological reflexes are far inferior.

This also made him understand one thing. Shiraishi had no intention of killing him from the beginning.

If there were any thoughts of killing him, his body and head would have been separated during his first sneak attack.

He thought that he relied on his quick reaction to retreat safely from the Shadow Blade's attack at the cost of a gash on his face.

If you use your Sharingan carefully to gain insight, you can break the Shadow Blade.

Unexpectedly, all this was because the other party had shown mercy from the beginning.

"Just take it as such. After all, this is your Uchiha clan's household affairs, and I have no right to interfere."

Shiraishi was troubled and didn't want to get involved in this muddy water.

Hearing what Shiraishi said, the Uchiha ninja wearing a black mask stiffened. Knowing who Shiraishi was speaking to, he turned around.

In his field of vision, the girl had long black hair and a face as cold as frost, showing off her bright red three-magatama Sharingan.

It was Liuli who had just returned home after a patrol mission.

She also did not expect that the ninjas of her family would assassinate Shiraishi at this time.

If you are dissatisfied with him, just express your opposition to them being together at the beginning.

The assassination came at this time, which gave Liuli a bad feeling.

The Uchiha ninja wearing a black hood just glanced at Ruri's Sharingan, his legs went limp, and he knelt down on the floor of the corridor.

Liuli walked towards him, slowly squatted down, and took off the black mask on his face, revealing an expression that was indeed the case.

"I hoped my perception was wrong, but I didn't expect it was really you."

Uchiha Rihuo.

The personal bodyguard of Uchiha Shifang, the leader of the radical faction of the Uchiha clan.

"Yeah...I didn't expect that your Sharingan illusion could be so terrifying...it only took a moment to catch me..."

It was obviously a three-magatama sharingan of the same level, but he didn't know that at the moment of contact, his three-magatama sharingan ended in complete defeat.

You know, he himself is an elite Uchiha jounin who is good at illusion and fire escape.

As a result, when faced with the invasion of Ruri's Sharingan power, he surrendered without the slightest resistance.

He had a feeling that there was an almost essential difference between Ruri's three-magatama sharingan and his three-magatama sharingan.

That shocking power was already in another dimension, looking down at him.

Shiraishi didn't show any surprise. From the very beginning, he knew that this was Uchiha Lihuo, the guard next to the elder from all directions.

Because he has memorized the chakra of this Uchiha jounin, even if he is wearing a mask, if he senses it carefully, he can use the chakra to determine who the other person is.

"Sure enough... Elder Sifang is right, you are the future of Uchiha. As long as you use this power well... you can kill me..."

Li Huo smiled with an expression of resignation, with only death in his eyes, and it was difficult to utter these words from his mouth.

"I can't bear this kind of praise. Can you tell me, what is the reason for you to do this?"

Liuli fell silent.

It is impossible for Li Huo to come and assassinate Shiraishi without authorization, because in the entire Uchiha clan, only the elders of the four directions can command him.

There is an order from the elders from all directions behind this.

"...for the future of the clan...and...your future..."

Li Huo's face was slightly twisted in pain. He was able to persevere after being corroded by the illusion to such an extent, which made Liuli look at him slightly.

Then stronger pupil power was injected.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Howls of pain echoed down the corridor.

Liuli stood in front of him expressionlessly, with her hands folded on her chest. Li Huo's eyes were dull, saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his whole body was twitching and shaking.

"Answer me, what is your purpose? Depending on your answer, I can spare your life."

"...No...can't say...I...can't say...kill me...Liu Li...kill me..."

Li Huo spoke intermittently, begging Liu Li to kill him.

Liuli frowned, anger appearing in her eyes.

kill him?

How can it be so simple?

To be honest, I have been putting up with these idiots for a long time.

It’s good for this village and this family.

Do these people really like to challenge her little patience?

Be it the root, the Hokage, and now some people in the family.

There aren't many sane guys around.

Liuli's patience had disappeared. She raised a palm and was about to perform some kind of magic, when someone held her palm to stop her.

The person who stopped her was Shiraishi.

Liuli showed a hint of displeasure on her face.

"what are you doing?"

"Okay, just pretend this never happened. After all, he is one of your tribe. If you continue to use illusions on him, he will have a mental breakdown and die."

Shiraishi originally planned to confess to Liuli tonight, but she really didn't want to ruin her relationship with her family because of this kind of thing.

Liuli shook off Shiraishi's hand holding her arm, her face cold.

"It would be best for this kind of trash to die. I tolerated what happened at the beginning, and I tolerated the ridiculousness of the third generation there, but these idiots are my clansmen, and as a clan jounin, I have I am qualified to know the truth. Do you want to stop me from this?"

Seeing that Liuli was determined, Baishi also knew that nothing could be said to dissuade her.

Li Huo's kneeling body fell forward, hit the ground hard, and lost consciousness.

"Throw this piece of trash out to me. I'll come back as soon as I go."

Liuli dropped these words, covered her face with a layer of frost, and left using the teleportation technique.

"What are you doing? It's such a mess..."

Having said that, why do you want to assassinate me at this time? How strange. Shiraishi was confused and scratched his head in confusion.

Looking at the direction Liuli left, Baishi sighed quietly.

Hope nothing happens.

However, Liuli doesn't like to suffer losses, so it's just a hope that she won't cause trouble.

◎

Nanga Shrine.

When the war started, the Uchiha clan had an obligation to contribute to Konoha.

Regarding who to send to the battlefield to participate in the battle, a large number of Uchiha jounin gathered here to hold an emergency meeting at night and obey the orders of the radical leader Uchiha Quartet.

"The war has started, which has advantages and disadvantages for us. Although many people will die, it also means that our Uchiha clan is one step closer to becoming the Hokage."

Uchiha Sifang sat on the front cushion, his face covered with wrinkles, and he spoke in a calm manner.

"The Sandaime has reached the age where he is about to abdicate in favor of others. In order to accumulate enough fame to become the Fourth Hokage, I hope that everyone can work together."

"yes!"

"The era of Senju's rule will eventually come to an end, and the future of Konoha belongs to us Uchiha."

The Uchiha Quartet glanced at the faces of the Uchiha jonins participating in the meeting one by one, seeming to recognize their momentum and strength, and nodded with satisfaction.

These are all the elites of the clan. This force is also a powerful capital to protect the clan and deter outsiders.

"Don't talk about these things in your sleep until you wake up. Are you stupid or not? The Hokage is just like a child."

The sudden words reached the ears of all the Uchiha Jonin present. Many people showed angry faces and looked towards the source of the sound.

Liuli walked out of the shadows. Amid everyone's puzzled and surprised eyes, she walked towards the front step by step, not knowing what she was going to do.

There was some movement in the expressions on the old faces of the Uchiha.

Liuli walked up to him without saying a word.

boom!

Everyone's expressions were dull and their minds were blank. The scene before him made him unable to turn around.

I saw Liuli quickly grabbing Uchiha Sifang's neck with his palms, and pressing hard against the wall, making a hole.

The old faces of the elders from all directions immediately showed a look of pain, and their old faces wrinkled up.

"Wait, Liuli, what are you doing?"

"Don't mess around!"

"Hurry up and release Elder Sifang!"

"Are you trying to rebel, Liuli? Let go!"

The Uchiha jounin stood up one after another and surrounded him, either to dissuade him or to threaten him with force to make Liuli put down the elders of the four directions.

"...no...that's not right..."

Elder Sifang squeezed these words out of his mouth.

"No? Are you trying to say that I am wrongly accusing you?"

Liuli's tone was full of danger.

He didn't pay any attention to the dissuasion or threats from those jounin of his own race.

"...Your eyes...are wrong..."

The elders of the four directions looked at the three magatama Sharingan revealed by Liuli and said something of unknown meaning.

"Eye?"

Liuli raised an eyebrow.

What's wrong with the eyes?

"So that's it...even a medical ninja can't solve it. That loser...did the mission fail?"

Elder Sifang's face suddenly showed a look of enlightenment, as if he understood something.

"Stop rambling here and changing the subject. You've completely pissed me off, old man."

Faced with Liuli's threat, the elders from all directions turned their heads indifferently and said to the Uchiha jounin who were about to step forward to subdue Liuli:

"You all get out."

The Uchiha jounin looked at each other, wondering why the elders of the four directions issued such an order.

"Go out, I have something to talk to Liuli alone."

Those jounin just hesitated for a moment and chose to obey the orders of the elders from all directions. Before leaving, they stared at Liuli with threatening eyes to tell her not to go too far.

Although they didn't know what conflict happened between Liuli and the elders of Sifang, this was not the reason why she could attack the elders of Sifang casually.

After the Uchiha jounin left the room where the meeting was held, only Ruri and Elder Sifang were left in the empty room.

"Ahem."

Liuli let go of Elder Sifang, letting him cough and gasp greedily.

"Have you breathed enough?"

In Liuli's opinion, this was just a show for her.

Elder Sifang glanced at Liuli and suddenly sighed and said, "It's such a pity. It would have been better if you had killed me as soon as you came in.

Liuli looked at the elders from all directions in confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"This is because... you haven't awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, Ruri."

The elders from Sifang stared deeply at Liuli, with endless regret in their cloudy but bright eyes.
