Escape From Konoha

"Mangekyō Sharingan?"

Liuli frowned upon hearing the regretful sigh from the Sifang elders.

"What does that have to do with anything?"

She didn't understand the inevitable connection between the assassination of Shiraishi and the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Elder Sifang had a calm expression and said nothing. He just hunched over and walked to the side.

He was seen making seals against a stone slab, which floated up, revealing a dark passage leading underground.

"Come with me, I'll tell you the ultimate secret of our Uchiha clan."

Elder Sifang walked down first. Liuli hesitated for a moment and followed him down the underground passage.

The basement connected by this passage was not very deep, but Liuli could feel that the stone slabs surrounding this space were all special stones with very strong resistance to pressure.

On both ends of the wall in front of this basement are printed the Uchiha clan's Uchiha fan logo, and in the middle is an ancient stone tablet half as tall as a man.

The stone tablet was engraved with strange and dilapidated glyphs, which did not look like words that could be read normally.

"Do you know this place?"

Elder Sifang asked.

"I've heard of it, but this is my first time coming to a place like this. Is there anything special here?"

Ruri looked around carefully with his Sharingan, but found nothing.

Except for the stone tablet, the rest of the place is normal.

"This stone tablet records the secrets passed down from generation to generation by our Uchiha ancestors. You can use the Sharingan and Mangekyo Sharingan to interpret the contents in sequence and gain the power of the taboo."

Elder Sifang used his Sharingan to look at the content on the stone tablet and said to Liuli.

"Forbidden power? Mangekyō Sharingan?"

"That's right, because the Sharingan can only see the upper part of the content, and the later content requires a more advanced Mangekyo Sharingan to be able to see... And the way to open the Mangekyo Sharingan is to kill... Dearest relative!"

At this moment, the kindness on the faces of the Sifang elders disappeared and became extremely ferocious, with evil and deep colors also revealed in their eyes.

The answer to opening the Mangekyou Sharingan made Liuli open her eyes in shock, staring at the elders from all directions with disbelief, her expression stagnant, and her body standing there seemed to be petrified, stiff and unable to move.

"Kill... a close relative?"

As if to confirm this question that made her feel extremely nonsense, Liuli was stunned for a while and then asked.

"Yes, Ruri, this is how to open the Mangekyou Sharingan. But in fact, it is not particularly accurate to kill close relatives. For example, friends who are as close as family members are also acceptable. Madara-sama and Izuna-sama also used this method at the beginning. A way to open your eyes."

As if he was nostalgic for something in the past, Elder Sifang narrated in a faint tone.

After listening, Liuli clenched her fists, frowned and stood there without taking any action, but her eyes showed disgust and anger.

"You said they used this method to activate the Mangekyō Sharingan... Could it be that they..."

It goes without saying that Uchiha Madara's name is not mentioned. His younger brother, Uchiha Izuna, is also a powerful ninja in the Uchiha clan. When he was still alive, he was second only to Uchiha Madara in the Uchiha clan. The number two person.

He was also a ninja who dominated the Warring States Period under the name of Mangekyo Sharingan.

The elder Sifang looked directly into Liuli's eyes, pulled out a sinister smile from the corner of his mouth, and said word by word: "That's right. Madara-sama and Izuna-sama originally wanted to gain stronger power to lead the Uchiha clan, so He killed his closest friend in the clan and activated the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Liuli stared at the Sifang elders coldly, and for some reason, she suddenly felt disappointed with this family.

I am also extremely disappointed with the legendary power of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

"But, not everyone can use this method to open their eyes. After Senju Tobirama passed away and that brat Hiruzen Sarutobi came to power, I realized that the opportunity for the Uchiha clan had come. In order to rebirth the clan, I I used the Mangekyo Sharingan to control Konoha, but... it failed."

Elder Sifang talked about this past event with deep regret.

Liuli clenched her fists tighter, recognizing for the first time the old man in front of her who was always pleasant to people.

Liuli understood what 'failure' he meant.

As a member of this family, all Liuli felt was nausea, which shocked her into a cold sweat.

This old guy must have used coercion in the past to force the tribesmen to open their eyes and let those tribesmen kill their friends and relatives.

But under his leadership, none of the coerced tribesmen opened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

It failed for some reasons.

"Their qualifications are not enough. Although they have the emotional stimulation of losing something important, their own abilities are too poor. After all, Madara-sama and Izuna-sama were already famous in the town before they opened the Mangekyo Sharingan." A ninja. When I was disappointed, you appeared, Liuli."

Having said this, the elders of the four directions stared at Liuli with fanatical eyes, or rather her pair of sharingan eyes that were full of bright red color and full of bright and shining colors.

As if he believed that those eyes would eventually transform into the Mangekyō Sharingan.

"I know that with your personality, it's difficult to make up your mind. So I think that having someone else kill that man in front of you is no different from killing it yourself. But Li Huo's mission failed. It’s beyond my expectation.”

Ignoring the almost twisted words spoken by the elders from all directions, Liuli walked directly to the stone monument and stopped.

"Sure enough, you are also a member of the Uchiha tribe, and you will pursue power at any cost. We are all the same. Take a look at the content on this stone tablet."

Elder Sifang said with a smile.

"shut up."

Liuli's voice was low.

The elders from Sifang smiled and said nothing, but their faces were sure of victory.

Ruri observed the stone tablet with his Sharingan, scanning it from the beginning, but it suddenly stopped when he was about a quarter of the way through.

The following content requires stronger eye power to read.

Ruri frowned and concentrated Senjutsu chakra on his eyes to further enhance the power of his Sharingan.

Elder Sifang on the side didn't know why, but suddenly felt that his body became very heavy.

Especially my Sharingan, this feeling is like facing Sharingan of different levels.

It was an indescribable force of oppression.

"Sure enough, you, like Madara-sama, your Sharingan is already so powerful in the three-magatama state. What, I'm not lying to you. With your eye power, you can see far more content on the stone tablet than I can." , I must have learned a lot of secrets about forbidden techniques and the Mangekyō Sharingan."

The elders from all directions were almost dancing with excitement on their faces.

I felt extremely excited that Ruri had such a powerful Sharingan.

"Now that you know all this, Liuli, then go and complete the work yourself. Use your own hands to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan, and experience bathing in the blood of the person you love most, so that you will have a greater chance of opening your eyes. !”

The elders from all directions spoke excitedly and incoherently.

"I know that you and Master Madara are very similar. You are both people who do whatever it takes for power. If you can achieve your goal, it doesn't matter how many people die or what you sacrifice. For people like you, only power is True eternity. For yourself, for Uchiha, and to snatch the position of Hokage from the Senju clan, this is the path you must take!"

He grabbed Liuli's shoulders and spoke more and more excitedly.

Snapped!

Liuli coldly shook off Elder Sifang's hand that grabbed her shoulder, and said coldly: "I don't want to obey orders from a guy like you."

"W-what?"

The elders from Sifang looked at Liuli in disbelief.

"Have you seen the deeper secrets of the stone tablet?"

He's confirming.

"So what?"

"It's impossible... you can't lose interest in this kind of power. Just like Madara-sama, you should not hesitate to get this kind of power and obtain the legendary pupil technique. You can't possibly lose interest in this kind of power. Indifferent…”

Elder Sifang seemed a little confused and couldn't believe that Liuli could resist the temptation of this power.

As long as you get that, becoming Hokage will be easy.

"Power is indeed tempting, but I am not a slave dominated by power. The power gained through this method will only make me feel sick."

"Evil, disgusting? That is the legendary power, Liuli, do you know what you are talking about? Don't you want to be a peerless ninja like Madara-sama? The strongest power that can rival the God of Ninja... Faced with this How could you refuse the power?”

"You have lost your mind. Calm down. Don't be confused by such things."

Liuli hoped that Elder Sifang could calm down.

"Enough! I don't know what happened to you. But, Ruri, you must activate the Mangekyō Sharingan. The Uchiha clan needs your power now. The third ninja war has begun, and we must use this opportunity to get Naruto position! If you miss this opportunity, you may never get it again! Don’t you understand such a simple question? "

The elders from all directions were shouting hysterically.

Bloodshot eyes already appeared.

Looking at the old man who was in a state of madness, Liuli just sighed.

How sad.

Were you confused by the power of Uchiha Madara's Mangekyō Sharingan?

Or maybe it's because he covets the position of Hokage.

Although it is for the sake of the Uchiha clan, if I really use this method to open my eyes... I can even ignore my true love and ruthlessly abandon it for the sake of power. In this way, I who pursue power at all costs will really do harm to the entire family. Responsible?

It will only make the entire Uchiha clan fall into an even more hopeless situation.

"That's your own business. I don't need the position of Hokage. If you want to fight for it, just fight for it. Don't involve me."

For the first time, I expressed my thoughts about not pursuing the position of Hokage.

Liuli sighed, it was really disappointing.

When he turned around to leave, the sinister voice of the elders from all directions came from behind:

"If you don't do it, the assassinations will continue. Unless you kill all the Uchiha who belong to the radical faction under my command."

Liuli stopped, her eyes filled with murderous intent, and turned around, her cold gaze piercing the elders from all directions like a blade.

Elder Sifang knew that his provocation was successful, and smiled sneerly:

"Not only that, your parents will also be included in my assassination plan. If it doesn't work once, do it twice, and if it doesn't work twice, do it three times. It will always open your eyes. The relatives, lovers, and friends around you will be killed by me. Kill all that are left.”

"Shut up!"

boom!

The body made contact with the ground, making a huge vibration.

Elder Sifang coughed up blood from his mouth, and his wrinkled face was extremely pale.

Liuli grabbed his throat and pinned him to the ground, with a smile still on his face and looking into Liuli's Sharingan eye.

"Are you angry? Yes, kill me and it will be over. Come on, if my life can make you awaken, that would be the best. You don't have to bear the pain of your lover and relatives dying in front of you. Kill me if that pleases you."

Cold sweat broke out on Liuli's face. To be honest, she was a little shuddering when facing such elders from all directions.

"Why, don't you take action? You have to know that most of the Uchiha clan are under my command now. As long as it is my order, they will execute it without hesitation. Either you kill them all, or Kill me, or cut it off yourself...otherwise, the assassinations will be endless around your closest relatives."

"Don't force me!"

Liuli's hand holding his throat became stronger and stronger.

The elders from all directions laughed and coughed.

"Haha... It's like this. Even an old guy like me is reluctant to kill you. You are too reluctant and nostalgic for feelings, Liuli. Coupled with your talent, if you can be ruthless, you can use The perfect material to activate the Mangekyō Sharingan!”

The elders from Sifang saw through all Liuli's thoughts, making Liuli break out in cold sweat.

He was deliberately provoking himself.

From the beginning, I was part of his plan.

If he killed him, it would be exactly what he expected.

Falling into darkness and becoming the second Uchiha Madara for the sake of power.

"You're such a madman."

"Because this is the only way to save the clan... The current Uchiha needs a new pair of Mangekyō Sharingan to win the position of Hokage in the village. Compared to Fugaku, you have more potential to open your eyes."

Regarding Liuli's evaluation, Elder Sifang smiled indifferently.

Liuli fell silent, forcing herself to calm down and not be induced by the other party's words.

Liuli let go of Elder Sifang's neck and stood up.

The elders from all directions did not show happiness, but showed anger.

Liuli took a breath of the crisp air in the basement, walked towards the stairs, and walked up.

"Have you made your decision? If you don't kill me at this time, then from now on, the assassination of your family members will continue forever until you open the Mangekyo Sharingan! You are not the kind of person who likes to threaten Save them for the last one! Come on, kill me! Then you can protect them! Why don't you kill me?"

Ignoring the angry roar of the mad beast behind him, Liuli felt a chill as she stepped onto the stairs.

Walk out of the basement and open the door to the inner conference room.

In the square of the shrine, a large number of Uchiha jounin gathered there.

After Liuli came out of the inner meeting room, most people stared at Liuli with cold and angry eyes.

She silently accused her of being rude to the elders from all directions.

They passed by Liuli without saying a word, and poured into the conference room with a cold breath.

Liuli walked forward a little distracted.

Going against the grain of the clan.

"team leader."

Several Uchiha ninjas did not go in, but came over to care about Liuli, with confusion in their eyes. They didn't know what conflict happened between Liuli and the elders from all directions.

"Don't ask, it's not good for you. I'm tired, I'm going back to rest first, you should go back and rest quickly."

Liuli finished speaking softly and walked down the steps of Nanga Shrine step by step.

Looking at Liuli's walking back, the Uchiha ninjas who were directly under Liuli looked at each other in confusion.

"what to do?"

"Looking at the captain's lost expression, it's quite a shock. I've never seen the captain's expression like that."

"After all, he is the Sifang elder, the one who speaks the truth in the clan."

Several Uchiha ninjas believed this deeply, and they felt fear from the bottom of their hearts towards the elder who led the radical faction.

Being able to tame the ninjas of the radical faction, the terror of the Sifang elder was beyond their imagination.

◎

After coming back, Baishi felt worried when he saw Liuli sitting in the corridor without saying a word, staring blankly at the night outside.

Although he didn't know what happened after Liuli went to see the Sifang elder, it was the first time he had seen Liuli look so shocked.

Whether it was because she was set up by Genji and was surrounded by the Sunagakure ninjas, or because of the anger and helplessness of the Hokage's high-level favoritism and ignorance, or when Sakumo passed away, she had never seen such a devastated expression.

"have a rest."

After the daze ended, Liuli suddenly turned around and said.

Shiraishi seemed stunned for a moment, then nodded.

When sleeping, Shiraishi quietly held Liuli in his arms. Liuli closed her eyes in Shiraishi's arms, seeming to be very tired.

I went to meet with the elders of Sifang. What happened after that?

Shiraishi had no way of knowing.

But the plan to leave Konoha is tomorrow, and I must confess to Ruri tonight no matter what.

Just seeing Liuli's tired look at the moment, when she was in such a low mood, was it a bit inappropriate to suddenly talk to her about leaving Konoha tomorrow?

If I had known this, I should have stopped her before, and I wouldn't have been so entangled.

However, we cannot delay it any longer.

If you miss this opportunity, you won't get it next time.

Just when Shiraishi mustered up the courage to tell Liuli what happened, Liuli's voice reached his ears first.

"Let's get out of here."

There was a sense of weariness and sadness in his tone.

Eh?

Shiraishi's expression was stunned for a moment.

What?

What is Liuli talking about?

"Leave here...where do you mean?"

"Konoha."

Liuli gave Shiraishi an accurate answer.

Shiraishi took a deep breath, trying to calm down.

He should be the first to bring this up. Why would Liuli bring it up first?

"I don't want to stay here any longer. This village and this family are full of people who make me bored and bored."

After Shiraishi listened, he lowered his head and looked down. Liuli opened his eyes at some point, and the bright red Sharingan that shone like a gem was exposed.

Shiraishi hugged Liuli tighter, and he could feel Liuli's disappointment and helplessness about this place.

This is a decision made only when there is no other way out.

He didn't know what Liuli had talked about when he met the Sifang elder, which could make Liuli suddenly make such a decision.

"Did something happen?"

Liuli just squeezed into Shiraishi's warm embrace and didn't answer.

Shiraishi patted her back lightly and did not ask any further questions.

Ruri's determination to leave Konoha... no, or rather to stay away from her family, was so strong.

Shiraishi can feel it clearly.

That's understandable.

Regarding the matter between Nebe and Sakumo, Ruri had already been completely disappointed with those high-level officials in Konoha.

The reason why she still calls herself a Konoha ninja is because of the entangled relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha.

What happened in the past was because she was still a ninja of this clan, so she had no choice but to endure it.

But at this moment, this patience has run out.

"Ah, let's go together, leave this place and start a new beginning."

In the embrace, only the soft sound of Liuli sleeping soundly could be heard.

Shiraishi scratched his head, this should be considered a relatively happy ending.

Although he felt that he had no decisive role in it.

However, Liuli knew that he was determined to leave Konoha from the beginning. After all, she also had an informant in the organization.

After all, she directly proposed to leave Konoha with him without communicating in advance... It was obvious that she had already noticed something.

Forget it, let’s not think about this kind of thing.

With the help of Ruri's Sharingan, tomorrow night's actions will be even more certain.

◎

The next day was also the day Shiraishi prepared to plan his plan to leave Konoha.

at noon--

In Liuli's house, in an inconspicuous secret room.

The Uchiha fan logo is engraved on the wall, with three black magatama as a foil on both sides.

Liuli sat at the top of the seat, and in front of her, there were a total of twelve people sitting.

Three of them were jounin, sitting at the front, and the other nine were chuunin, sitting a little further back.

Liuli scanned these people's faces one by one, without any nonsense, going straight to the topic, and said to these people:

"I plan to leave Konoha. Whether you plan to stay or choose to follow me, you can make your own decision."

After Liuli said this, the twelve Uchiha ninjas all looked at each other, and they could see the surprise and hesitation in each other's eyes.

Even if they were asked to make this decision, the time would be too sudden.

"Captain, let's not talk about leaving Konoha for the moment. If we really leave the village, where will we settle down?"

One jounin asked hesitantly.

This is also a concern for the rest of the world.

"Don't worry about this. I have made proper arrangements for the retreat plan and subsequent resettlement issues. Moreover, there is a good-sized force in that place now, which I organized. Even if you all go there, you will still be completely safe. There is room left.”

Liuli replied.

This can relieve their worries.

Seeing the struggle and hesitation on these people's faces, Liuli also understood their difficulties and suddenly asked them to make this decision.

"No matter what decision you make, just don't make yourself regret it. If you choose to continue with me, report to me before three o'clock in the afternoon. I will arrange everything for you."

"Yes, Captain."

Just as Liuli was about to leave, another jounin asked: "Well, captain, can I ask a question?"

"Do you want to know why I left the village and my family?" Liuli murmured to himself, which could be regarded as an answer to the Jonin's question: "The reason is very simple, because the radicals can no longer accommodate me. They are going to seek wood next. Ye's position as Hokage will either be reborn from the ashes, or...just like the Senju clan, lose the name of the clan. Or, it will be an even more tragic ending."

Everyone was shocked.

This time the war suddenly broke out, and the radicals couldn't bear it anymore.

What they are waiting for is this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Walking to the next room, Shiraishi was waiting for her there, drinking tea with a calm expression.

"Can we not follow them? They may expose our actions."

"No problem, I have confidence in them and I don't look for incompetent subordinates."

Liuli said with confidence.

He walked to sit down next to Shiraishi, poured himself a cup of tea, and took a sip.

"The operation time is eleven o'clock in the evening. How are you preparing there?"

Facing Liuli's question, crystal clear water surged from Baishi's body and was slowly condensing.

"It's okay, this kid can't wait any longer."

(PS: The war starts tomorrow, and the preparations are finally over. It’s almost annoying me to death. Every day, people ask when the fight will be...

I think so too, but the minefield of fan books is that in addition to the protagonist, the supporting characters are particularly prone to stereotypes. The lack of tension in the prelude leads to the collapse of the plot and the inexplicable climax.

I have experienced this kind of thing many times, so I would rather have a slower pace than force myself to skip the foreshadowing part, make the supporting characters look like characters, and the narrative is incomplete, like a running account. )
