Escape From Konoha

"destiny……"

In the deep hall of Miaomu Mountain, an old-looking toad is none other than the toad leader of Miaomu Mountain - the Great Toad Immortal.

It seemed to feel something, and its deep yellow eyes looked outside the hall at the mountains and forests full of natural atmosphere.

"Master, what happened?"

Fukasaku Sage, who was meditating next to him and practicing senjutsu, opened his eyes, interrupted his senjutsu practice, and looked at the giant toad sage.

"Watergate……"

"Watergate?"

"...That kid Minato is dead..."

"!?"

Fukasaku Sage's eyes widened and he looked at the Great Toad Sage with a shocked expression.

"Minato...is dead?"

"Go to Konoha and get something back."

"thing?"

Before he could recover from the shock and sadness, Fukasaku Sennin was filled with doubts when he heard the order from the Great Toad Sento again.

"You will know if you go to Konoha..."

The Great Toad Immortal closed his eyes and began to sleep.

"..."

Fukasaku Sennin lowered his head and thought for a while, then jumped off the training platform. At the entrance of the hall, he looked back at the Toad Sennin who was even weaker there.

What technique was the elder using just now? To have become so weak... Fukasaku Sennin was in awe.

The Great Toad Sage has survived from ancient times and is the founder of the Mt. Myoboku Holy Land. Deep as a sage, he reveres the Great Toad Sage from the bottom of his heart.

But sometimes, I feel that some of the unusual behaviors of the Great Toad Immortal are incomprehensible, and I am deeply confused.

◎

Konoha, in the emergency room.

Minato was lying on the operating table with a pale face, and several medical ninjas were surrounding him to provide first aid. Tsunade on the side was giving instructions with an equally pale face, as if she was afraid of the blood flowing out of Minato's body.

The medical ninja who used medical ninjutsu to save Minato's life was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. The nurses were also coming and going, very busy.

"It's no longer possible. The heart and lungs are damaged to this extent. It's already..."

A medical ninja said with great frustration.

Although the other medical ninjas were still rescuing him, they also knew that Minato's chance of surviving was zero.

Miracles are impossible.

Half an hour later, Tsunade took a deep breath, with a sad look in her eyes, and said to them: "Okay, let's end it here. You have done your best."

"Tsunade-sama?"

The medical ninja looked at Tsunade.

"The person who did this is a medical ninja just like you. Do you think he would be stupid enough to let you rescue the person?"

Tsunade slammed her fist against the wall and gritted her teeth.

That bastard kid!

His fists were trembling, and his eyes showed a complex and bitter look.

After knowing that the person who caused the riot last night was Shiraishi, Tsunade still can't believe it.

That person would do something like this.

Tsunade fell into remorse for her stupidity.

She failed to protect the rope tree, break it, and the village her grandfather left behind.

What does he want to do? Tsunade was helplessly angry and confused.

Why would Shiraishi do such a thing.

Is it Danzo and Sakumo's business to take some members of the Hyuga clan and Uchiha clan away?

And why should we hide our strength?

What else did he do behind the scenes that he didn’t even know about?

Now that Minato is dead, how will he explain to Jiraiya?

Tsunade's emotions were very complicated now. She finally took a deep breath and finally recovered. She glanced at Minato, who could already be called a 'corpse' on the operating table, and she couldn't bear to look directly at him, and walked outside.

Didi——

Tsunade was startled.

The medical ninjas were also stunned.

The lines on the screen rippled and were no longer a straight line.

"Alive...alive?"

"How, how is it possible?"

"Wait, what is this?"

The medical ninja stared at this scene with wide eyes. From Minato's body, an engraved spell appeared. In the middle was a spell with the word 'celestial being'. It emitted a glistening green light and enveloped Minato's completely cold body. .

Minato's face began to turn rosy again, his heartbeat started to pick up, and his fingers were moving slightly.

They could understand that this charm with the word 'immortal' engraved on it was trying its best to save Minato's life.

Isn't that the Immortal Talisman of Mt. Myoboku... Why is it on Minato? Tsunade frowned.

She was vaguely aware that the truth of the matter was not as simple as it seemed.

She made a contract with the slug in the Shiggou Forest, one of the three holy places. Because the slug has a gentle temperament, and has lived from ancient times to the present, it knows many secrets in the ninja world, and occasionally tells her some secrets in the ninja world.

Here there are things about the two holy places of Mt. Miaomu and Ryūchi Cave.

According to Slug, there is an immortal talisman with mysterious power in the hands of the big toad immortal in Miaomu Mountain.

It is the most precious immortal treasure in the entire Miaomu Mountain, and it can bring people back to life.

But because it has the effect of bringing the dead back to life, its use must come with a heavy price.

Why was this extremely precious treasure that would cost the practitioner a huge price to use, so why was it specially placed on Minato? What was the big toad sage planning to do? Tsunade's eyes narrowed and her mind became active.

It seems that it is necessary to go back to Shigu Forest and ask Slug about the Great Toad Immortal. She thought to herself.

◎

noon.

"Elder Sifang, are you feeling better?"

In the courtyard, Li Huo walked over and saw Elder Sifang sitting leisurely on the corridor drinking tea while admiring the rainy scene outside.

The heavy rain has not stopped since last night. This kind of gloomy weather is quite unique to watch now.

"It's getting better. Sit down. How were the casualties in the village last night?"

Elder Sifang coughed and indicated that he was fine, but his face was weak.

Li Huo sat across from him, took out a report, looked at it, simplified the content and said: "According to the latest statistics, the number of injured is more than 500, and 86 people were killed. Among them, the Hyuga clan is said to have lost several Jonin. If you include the ninjas who defected and left..."

This is simply like using a knife to bleed and cut flesh on the Hyuga clan.

Li Huo expressed his condolences for the Hyuga clan, which is also a blood-successor limited ninja clan.

Compared to the Hyuga clan, the Uchiha clan's losses were nothing at all, not to mention that it was originally done intentionally by the elders from all directions.

"For their clan, the more Jonin they lose, the safer their status in the village becomes, right? This should be a good thing."

Elder Sifang took a sip of tea indifferently, disapproving lightly.

"Let's not mention this, the village is quite critical of our Uchiha clan."

Lihuo put away the statistics table, glanced at Elder Sifang and said.

"Because the Uchiha clan didn't participate in the battle last night?"

"Yeah. They're upset about it."

"The job of the security team is to focus on the safety of the people in the village. We are just doing things according to the regulations. If you need to argue, let that brat Danzo come over in person. I am an old man and don't want to move."

Elder Sifang snorted coldly.

He didn't need to think about it and knew who was deliberately spreading it.

No one but Danzo would do such a thing.

Even if some people want to do it, they don't have the guts to do it.

Li Huo nodded, but didn't express his opinion. He didn't have bad feelings towards the village's senior management, but he didn't have any good feelings either.

He just needs to do things for his clan.

"Then, is it really good not to tell Liuli the truth of this matter? When she left, she must also have the mentality of loathing and hating you."

Li Huo looked at the rain in the courtyard with a sigh.

The rain became lighter.

It's still raining.

"This kind of thing doesn't matter. Do you know why I didn't let Liuli go find trouble with Root?"

Elder Sifang pondered for a moment, put down the teacup in his hand, his eyes were deep and peaceful.

"In order to make Liuli completely disappointed in the village's senior management?"

Li Huo tilted his head and asked tentatively.

In the past, Liuli was bound by the clan and the village, but after experiencing the incident of being ambushed by the root, Liuli only had one clan in her heart.

For her, the village is only because of her karma with the clan, so she swallowed her anger and continued to exist as a Konoha ninja.

Elder Sifang personally cut off her thoughts about the clan before, making it impossible for the village and the clan to accommodate her will, and leaving was an inevitable choice.

This is Li Huo's view.

Elder Sifang's cloudy eyes revealed nostalgia for the past.

"This is just one of them. In fact, the will of fire passed down by Senju Hashirama is not suitable for our Uchiha clan. It is not that it is not tolerant enough, but that it is too weak. The blood of our clan can only be strengthened in battle. Shine brilliantly, Konoha... has restricted the nature of our clan. And fighting is human nature at all times. To protect the rich land of Fire Country with a weak attitude, that's why Konoha makes enemies everywhere."

"In other words, the reason why you chose Liuli is because she is very similar to the person you once admired?"

"Madara-sama? He is just an alien."

The Sifang elders made this comment.

Li Huo was surprised.

"Alien?"

"Would you worship a guy who kills his friends for the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan? At that time, I only felt fear towards Madara-sama and Izuna-sama."

Elder Sifang gave Li Huo a cold look.

Li Huo lowered his head in silence.

It's true that I don't admire such a guy.

"If Ruri is willing to harm herself and her loved ones in order to gain the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, then I will use this to destroy her at all costs."

Elder Sifang took out a medicinal glass bottle from his arms.

Stored inside is a pair of eyes.

A pair of Sharingan eyes with complex patterns.

It's called the Mangekyo Sharingan.

The supreme eye power of the Uchiha clan.

Elder Sifang looked at these eyes and said in a complicated tone: "Although I opened these eyes, I was enslaved by the power and curse of these eyes. I could not control such darkness, so I used the eyes of the dead tribesmen. Replaced it.”

He understands the darkness and power contained in these eyes better than the current tribesmen.

When he felt that his will, even his arrogance and extremeness, were being guided by these eyes, he gave up these eyes without hesitation.

He had a hunch that if he continued to use the power of these eyes to dominate the Uchiha clan, he would sooner or later lead the clan into the abyss.

"Senju Hashirama's will is weak love. Although it is strong, it has lost its blood. Master Madara's will is extreme love. Although it is tough, it is not popular. No matter what kind of will it is, it is not the hope for the future of the clan. .”

Although the current radicals retain their bloody nature, they have been induced by Senju Hashirama's will. They can't help but yearn for the position of Hokage.

This proves Uchiha's power.

He founded this village with the Senju clan, and the ninjas of the Uchiha clan are deeply proud of this.

The conservatives within the clan have completely become lackeys of the Will of Fire.

Although he holds the glory of his family, it has been eroded by this weak love.

He started on the battlefield during the Warring States Period, followed Uchiha Madara through the bloody storm, and then founded Konoha with the Senju clan.

After that, Uchiha Madara left Konoha and started a life-and-death battle with Senju Hashirama in the Valley of the End.

As the loser, Uchiha Madara died from then on, Senju Hashirama won, and passed away within a few years of returning to Konoha.

Then, the First Ninja War broke out, and the second Hokage Senju Tobirama was killed in battle, and his disciple Hiruzen Sarutobi succeeded him as the third Hokage.

All the elders from Sifang have personally experienced these things.

He is an old man who witnessed the transition from the Warring States Period to the One Country, One Village era.

Take the attitude of a bystander to see all these things happening.

So, I have been thinking about how to save the family.

"Sure enough, you have been setting up the trap a long time ago."

Li Huo didn't know the whole process of the plan, but he could guess some.

If the Sifang elders had been planning when Liuli was ambushed by Genbu... No, or if they had been planning earlier, maybe Genbu's actions were within the scope of his expectations.

Including the series of responses and countermeasures of the high-level, as well as Liuli's psychology of hating the high-level, was also guided at that time.

The "ignorant" high-level members of the family gradually began to feel disappointed, so her rebellious psychology prompted her to look for like-minded companions in the family.

As everyone knows, those so-called "companions" are also prepared by the Sifang elders in advance to rebuild another team of the Uchiha clan for her.

What a cunning guy. Li Huo sighed in his heart.

"But among all these plans, the biggest question is whether Liuli will hurt the people around her in order to gain power. This is what worries me the most. She is also obsessed with power, and I am worried that she will go the way of Madara. My lord's path. Fortunately, Liuli's choice did not disappoint me in the end."

Everything can be arranged, but there is only one thing that the elders of Sifang are most worried and uncertain about.

That is Liuli's obsession with power, whether her original heart will change in the face of power.

The former Uchiha Madara brothers did not resist the temptation and killed their friends.

A person who can even abandon his relatives and friends will never feel the warmth of the world and use a heart full of love to understand everything in the world.

Nor do they care about their own people.

All they see is darkness and extremes, and they are induced by extreme paranoid feelings, and call it, that is the truth and truth of the world.

Accept the 'curse' of a family frankly, saying that this is the unchangeable fate of a family.

Rightfully arrogant.

He used to be a fool who combined arrogance and ignorance, so he has a deep understanding.

It was precisely because of this that he would let Liuli lead those clansmen with peace of mind.

The charisma and strength of a leader are just one of them, and the benevolence and tolerance to those around them are also necessary qualities.

"But, there's one thing you didn't say."

Li Huo said suddenly.

"What didn't you say?"

Elder Sifang frowned, he must have made no omissions.

"That's why you didn't tell me that that medical ninja named Chiba Shiraishi would be such a powerful guy."

Having said this, Li Huo looked at the Sifang elders with complaining eyes.

To be honest, he was really surprised when he went to sneak attack Baishi.

He originally planned to beat Shiraishi half to death and delay it until Liuli came back by talking nonsense.

As a result... he was severely punished by Shiraishi, the assassination target, and tortured by Liuli for a long time with illusions. Looking back now, he felt a chill coming over him.

"If I told you in advance, how could the play be performed realistically?"

Elder Sifang drank tea with a smile, it turned out that this was what happened.

"You already knew that, right?"

Li Huo's eyes became more complaining.

"Who knows. Also, are all the lines on Sosuke and Miyoko's side broken?"

Uchiha Sosuke and Uchiha Miyoko are Ruri's parents.

This time he knew in advance that Sunagakure was going to attack Konoha and devised the plan. The two of them also contributed a lot.

But it is also because of this that all clues must be cut off and all traces must be cleaned up.

Even if it is a one in 10,000 possibility, it must be eliminated.

"Not yet, I'm thinking, if there is any problem with Uchiha in the future..."

"Now that we have left Konoha, the Uchiha over there has nothing to do with this side. Danzo's little devil has a very good nose. Cutting off the grass must remove the roots, whether it is combat or intelligence work."

The tone of the Sifang elders was extremely firm.

The sound of rain gradually subsided, and water gathered under the eaves and dripped.

"Okay, I will deal with it later. From now on, they are no longer the Uchiha of Konoha. The resources of both parties will no longer be shared with each other. Speaking of which, they have also accumulated a lot of wealth over the years. , and the connections accumulated by Uchiha in the past are enough to rise in the Kingdom of Demons."

Li Huo let out a sigh of regret.

"In this way, I can also retire with peace of mind."

The elders from Sifang let out a sigh of relief.

"Retirement care?"

Li Huo looked at the elders from all directions in surprise.

"What are you surprised about? I'm already so old, I should have retired and ignored these trivial matters long ago."

"But...who will the clan want next..."

Li Huo was a little overwhelmed.

The Konoha Uchiha clan, which has lost its four elders, doesn't know what it will become.

"That boy Fugaku will do. Leave it to him. From now on, he will be the leader of the Uchiha clan."

Hearing what Elder Sifang said, Li Huo always felt that the position of clan leader was arranged too casually.

"Does Fugaku have this ability?"

Li Huo didn't question Fugaku's strength. In fact, Fugaku's strength was superior to him.

But Fugaku's character is not suitable for leading radicals, but is suitable for conservatives.

The problem is that the radical faction is the most powerful among the Uchiha clan now.

"For radicals to get involved in the position of Hokage is to die. Fugaku still has a chance to win the position of Hokage, because like Uchiha Kagami who I killed, he is one of the few in the family who respects the will of fire. Ninja. The will of Senju Hashirama is still affecting the current Uchiha. It depends on whether Fugaku knows how to use it."

Elder Sifang remembered some unpleasant past events and snorted coldly.

Li Huo sighed and said nothing. He was the one who was tired and suffering.

"Take this with you, I don't need this power anymore."

Elder Sifang put the medicinal glass bottle containing a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan into Li Huo's hands.

After Li Huo took the things, he left Elder Sifang's residence.

The rain stopped completely, the sun slowly showed its head, and there was still some moisture in the air.

Elder Sifang looked at the increasingly clear sky and thought to himself that Liuli and the tribesmen were almost at a safe place.

Konoha couldn't gather any decent pursuit troops at the moment, and it was already exhausted just to deal with the war.

The timing is just right.

"The future of Uchiha will be left to you, Ruri..."

Senju Hashirama's will is too weak, and Uchiha Madara's will is too extreme.

However, those who can overcome the shackles of that curse and remain unwavering in their firm belief in the face of the most powerful force will never become a slave to power, causing their souls to become dusty.

"People with dark thoughts will never see the brilliance of human nature, and will only criticize the world from a dark and pessimistic perspective. The Sharingan is the eye that reflects the soul. Move forward towards the path firmly in your heart, Liuli, this I don’t know if the so-called curse will happen sooner or later...but maybe I can’t see that day coming.”

Elder Sifang sighed and smiled, why did he think so much?

This new era is no longer something he, an old antique from the old era, can interfere with.

Konoha has all kinds of disadvantages, but it is very suitable for him to retire here.

In this village where Uchiha can no longer find any sense of existence and has restricted Uchiha's nature, the survival of the four elders does not matter.

Just the thought that this village may be slowly corroded by power, and seeing the will of Senju gradually falling into the abyss, is the supreme joy for him as an Uchiha clan member.

If you think about it, there is nothing more worthy of applause than this.

Walking towards the house, the door was closed tightly.

◎

Hinata's family.

In the corridor of the corridor, Rizu sat there calmly.

In front of him was a birdcage with a bird in it.

When he opened the cage, the bird didn't know if it had forgotten how to fly in the sky. It was indifferent when it saw the open door and pecked at the food in the cage.

"Aren't you leaving yet? She's gone, and it's meaningless for you to stay here...Fly, leave here."

Rizu's questions received no response.

He vaguely remembered that the day he bought the bird was also the day he met Ayane for the first time.

He never thought that Ayane would really break out of the birdcage one day and fly out of the family birdcage.

But...why...this bird can't fly out?

But he stayed obediently?

"They left yesterday, and you are free and can fly out."

Nizu once again urged the caged bird to leave.

The bird was just pecking at the food.

"Brother, no matter what, it is impossible for a bird to respond to your question."

A young man who looked similar to Rizu walked up the aisle and said here.

It was Hinata Hizashi, Hiashi's younger brother.

"I know that the ones imprisoned in the birdcage are only birds, not people. The biggest difference between people and birds is that people are animals that can break free from the shackles of fate."

Nizu turned his head and looked directly into Hizashi's eyes.

Hizashi's face was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Hizashi to say such words.

"Is that guard that important to you?"

"She's a very special being."

"It's best not to say this to the elders. When she left last night, she killed many clan members."

"I understand. I am the leader of the Hinata clan. But so many birds flew out freely last night, and there will be more in the future. I can't imagine that kind of thing. Once a person's free nature is liberated, it is a With such unparalleled will and spirit, death does not seem worthy of their fear and retreat.”

Rizu said in an awe-inspiring tone.

Close the birdcage door.

If you don't want to leave, then stay.

One day, this bird will want to fly out.

"The biggest difference between humans and birds is that humans are animals that can escape their fate."

Hizuru stood up, lifted the birdcage, repeated this sentence, and left towards the end of the corridor.

——Only those who are not reconciled to fate can paint various colorful paintings in the world.

Will the future Hyuga Clan be able to draw such a colorful blue sky? Let these birds fly together freely... Hizuru looked at the clear sky and buried this big doubt in his heart.

(PS: Minato is not dead here, to draw Tsunade's doubts about some things. If Minato is dead, I don't have the strength to continue the plot.

It is impossible for Destiny's Child to be on the side of the protagonist. If they all sided with the protagonist, there would be no need to fight... You can just declare the end.

However, there will be huge changes in the plots of Obito, Lin, Nagato and others, which can be disclosed in advance.

Also, I rarely read the comment section.

I have a glassy heart and can't stand stimulation.

I don't want to fight, and I don't want to argue, because now I really don't have the energy and hobbies, and I don't give money...

If you are interested and have free time to be the discipline management and operations officer of this book, you can come to me at any time. If you are a free prostitute, forget it.

Concentrate on the original god...ahem, coding...)
