Escape From Konoha

"White pupil technique..."

What was placed in front of Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, was a detailed and complete battle intelligence.

Information about the combat capabilities of the S-class defected ninja Hyuga Ayane was passed here from the front line one by one through ANBU personnel.

It cannot be said that this operation gained nothing, but Konoha paid for the precious lives of twelve root ninjas in exchange for information on the enemy's strength that may change in the future. For now, it is not special. worth.

The support tactics with the Flying Thunder God as the core were also exposed in this operation. The enemy will be wary of it later, and even use corresponding ninjutsu to target and crack it. The next time you want to encounter such a good opportunity, you can only rely on luck. .

And most importantly, this is just one person.

Thinking that there were two other people, and using these three people as an imaginary enemy, Hiruzen simulated it in his mind. I was afraid that the so-called intelligence might not be of much use.

"Next, how do you plan to deal with the aftermath of this incident, Hiruzen?"

Standing in front of Hiruzen's desk were two consultants, Koharu Koharu and Mito Monobu. They stared at Hiruzen, as if they had something to say.

"Duanzo took away half of the root's total manpower for this operation. However, only a few of the root personnel who were brought there survived by chance. The personnel must be replenished as soon as possible."

During the war, the role of Danzo's roots cannot be ignored. Whether it is harassing or spying on enemy intelligence, it can bring tangible benefits to Konoha.

Otherwise, his ANBU personnel alone would not be able to take care of all aspects of the battlefield.

During the war, ANBU was responsible for the internal affairs, while the ANBU was responsible for the external affairs. This was also a tacit understanding cultivated among their senior leaders over the years.

Now the roots have suffered heavy losses, and the leader Danzo has been seriously injured. Even if he recovers, his strength is not as good as before, which is a headache for Hiruzen.

"But there are not many outstanding ninjas left in the village now, and most of them are quite critical of the existence of the roots. I am afraid that we will not be able to replenish the manpower of the roots in a short time."

Xiaochun went to bed and answered the question about the current internal situation of the village.

"There's no need to worry about this. Danzo only took away half of the root's strength this time, and half of the manpower remains in the village. It can barely keep functioning in a short period of time."

Mito Kabuto spoke at this time.

"Okay. Danzo is unconscious at the moment, and the leader of the Roots is temporarily managed by Jounin Aburame Ryoma. I will get in touch with him as soon as possible."

Ryoma Aburame is an outstanding jounin of the Aburame clan with great military exploits. During the Second Ninja War, he entered the root and became Danzo's right-hand man.

Now that Danzo has lost his ability to command, his roots cannot let go. A temporary leader is needed to stabilize the situation.

Aburame Ryoma was recognized by Hiruzen as Konoha's outstanding jounin in terms of strength, commanding ability, and more importantly, loyalty.

"So, regarding the issue of the Hyuga clan's white eyes... what do you think, Hiruzen?"

Mito Kadenen looked at Hiruzen and asked.

Ri Zhan remained silent.

After turning to bed, Koharu said: "Hyuga Ayane's Byakugan Technique is a type I have never seen before. So far, it is fundamentally different from the Hyuga clan's traditional Byakugan ability and the soft fist."

As advisers, they naturally also know the information about the battle.

"The Suppression Eye Technique can release mental shock silently. Even a Jonin may be killed instantly if he is not careful. What is even more frightening is that it also has the Soft Fist that can cover all directions and make people unable to escape. The technique... Even if you can't witness it with your own eyes, you can still imagine the desperate situation Danzo faced at that time."

When Mito Menyan said this, he took a gentle breath, with a cautious look in his eyes.

"Do you think the Hyuga clan is deliberately hiding their clumsiness? It's impossible. The Hyuga clan has been rooted in Konoha for decades. If they were deliberately hiding their clumsiness, it would be impossible for Hashirama-sama and Tobirama-sensei at the time not to notice it."

Hiruzen replied that he did not think that the Hyuga clan deliberately concealed some extremely important information from the village.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for his teacher, the former Hokage Senju Tobirama, not to leave a few words to warn them of the Hyuga clan's Byakugan.

"The function of the Byakugan on the battlefield is very important, but it is only functional. If a terrifying alien like Hyuga Ayane is born in this clan... it will destroy the balance within the village."

For the Blood Successor Limited Ninja Clan, a powerful Uchiha is enough to give them a headache. If the Hyuga clan is allowed to experience such instability again, they will have to change their strategy towards Hinata.

Now is an extremely critical period of war, and Konoha cannot withstand such turmoil.

And as consultants, they are not so worried.

Hyuga Ayane's Byakugan Eye Technique and the soft fist skills displayed have surpassed their common sense about the Hyuga clan.

"I don't agree with that."

"Hiruzhan, we have to ask about this matter. It is very important to us whether the Byakugan of the blood successor's limited pupil technique has any ability that we don't know about. I suspect that Hyuga Ayane's Byakugan has undergone some kind of transformation. Beyond the limits of normal Hyuga ninjas. Just like..." At this point, Mito Kadoyan paused, looked directly at Hiruzen seriously and said: "The difference between the Sharingan and the Mangekyo Sharingan."

Upon hearing these words, Hiruzen immediately showed hesitation on his face.

"There is nothing to hesitate about. Whether it is accidental or there is a clear mutation and evolution route, we have to verify it with the Hyuga clan. If this mutation is the only nature, it is okay to say, but if the other Byakugan can also undergo mutation evolution... Now this is the case I did it just in case.”

The Byakugan and the Sharingan are both blood-limited pupil techniques.

Sharingan can evolve into a kaleidoscope Sharingan, so it seems reasonable that Baiyan can also evolve and mutate.

Just because it didn't happen before doesn't mean it didn't happen. If the Hyuga clan does something secretly because of Hyuga Ayane's incident, it will have some bad effects on the balance of the village.

"I'll think about it for a while."

At a time like this, Hinata didn't want to lose the trust of the Hyuga clan.

If we were to investigate the Hyuga Clan at this time, it would inevitably cause some unnecessary conflicts with him, Hokage.

After all, the possibility of Baiyan mutating is just speculation without actual evidence.

If we could study Hyuga Ayane's Byakugan and get accurate data, it would be okay, but based on this speculation, we had to investigate the Hyuga clan, which Hiruzen felt quite repelled by.

Even so, Hirizhan also tends to say that the two best friends, Koharu and Mito Menyan, are going to sleep together.

Like Sharingan, Baiyan possesses some unknown mutation and evolution abilities.

However, as the Hokage, he couldn't just rely on inferences and destroy the strong friendship between Hinata and the village.

"This opportunity is not to be missed."

"Don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter. In short, Hinata needs to reassure them first and don't force them. This is different from Uchiha's problem. I'll think about it again and I will definitely come up with a solution later."

Hiruzen felt a headache as he picked up the cigarette rod on the table, took a long puff, and blew out the smoke.

Seeing Hiruzen like this, Koharu and Mito Kadeni knew that they would not be able to find a breakthrough from Hiruzen for the time being.

After returning, Koharu went to bed and said, "I always feel that Hiruzen and Danzo said the same thing. His attitude towards handling things recently has become more hesitant than before."

"Yes, I have hesitated before, but I will not delay us like this. And the matter of the Hyuga clan cannot be delayed. If the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan really has the possibility of mutation and evolution, what changes will it cause to the future of the village? , it’s hard to predict.”

The power of the Blood Successor Limited Ninja Clan is too terrifying.

The reason why the Hyuga clan is so valued and trusted by high-level officials is because of the strategic significance of the Byakugan and its combat effectiveness, which is inferior to that of the Uchiha clan.

But if the Byakugan also has the same problem as the Sharingan and undergoes a deeper transformation, it is inevitable that it will not become the second Uchiha of Konoha.

By that time, Byakugan will be more than just a strategically important trait.

"It's a pity that Tobirama-sensei didn't leave much information about Byakugan."

"It's not too late to know now. Hiruzen can't use it as a breakthrough, so we can only rely on ourselves."

"You're thinking……"

After turning to bed, Koharu looked at Mito Kadoyan in surprise.

"Duanzo is not here, and Hiruzen may not listen to our words. We are also considering the future of the village, and Hiruzen will understand our good intentions. The problem with the Hyuga clan can only be solved by being frank and honest immediately. "

Mito Kadoyan looked into the distance, which was the direction of the Hyuga clan's territory.

◎

"Two advisors, here are the ancient classics passed down by our Hyuga clan."

In the huge library of the Hyuga clan, an elder of the clan led the way, leading Koharu and Mito Monoto to the deepest corner of the library, where there were important collections left by the ancestors of the Hyuga clan.

Now, with the permission of the clan elders, a special opening has been made for high-level consultants.

"Please forgive me, we have no choice but to do this."

Unexpectedly, he passed the Hyuga clan's permission so smoothly and came to the Hyuga clan's library to read the materials here.

Following the two of them, there were several jounin who came to assist the two of them in processing intelligence.

After all, there is so much information that it would take just two people to process it.

"You're welcome, this is also caused by our clan's poor handling. It is a matter of course to eliminate Hokage-sama's concerns. We already know about the frontline matters through Hizashi's reply, and we can understand the concerns of the two consultants. Regardless of Whenever possible, we Hinata will unconditionally support Hokage-sama’s decision.”

The clan elder said.

Not long after, he asked Koharu, Mito Menyan and a group of cronies to stay here, and walked out alone.

Outside the library, there were several clan elders waiting here.

When he saw someone coming out, he pulled him aside and asked in a low voice: "Is it really okay to do this? It is the hard work of our family. There must be no accidents."

Many clan elders are uneasy about opening the Hyuga clan's library to high-level officials and reading the family collections recorded by the Hyuga clan for hundreds of years.

"After all, it is Lord Hokage's order. And by doing this, we can also eliminate Lord Hokage's concerns about us. We are different from Uchiha."

"I'm afraid this is not an order given by the Hokage himself."

One clan elder made a surprising statement.

The other clan elders were slightly startled, and then they understood the reason after thinking about it.

In other words, the two advisors came here to inspect, not under the direct instruction of the Hokage, but directly overstepped the Hokage's authority and directly interfered with their Hyuga clan?

"Lord Hokage is the leader of the moderate faction in the village. Considering the importance of our clan in the village, he will never issue such an unreasonable order."

The clan elder said in a low voice.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter who gave the order. It's more important now to ensure the clan's status in the village."

"Hisashi-sama, will he agree?"

"Master Rizu is on the battlefield right now, so we can take charge here. He is still too young. We can leave matters such as going to the battlefield and fighting the enemy to the branch family. As the leader of a clan, it is safest to stay within the family. After all, our clan’s precious white eyes cannot allow any accidents.”

"Yes, Mr. Rizu is a young man with strong blood. It is understandable that he wants to make achievements and not waste his youth. However, this matter is indeed not handled well. As the head of a clan, there is no need to compromise for the sake of those who are separated from the family. Protection. Our clan has a natural obligation and responsibility to separate the clan."

As clan elders, they felt a lot of dissatisfaction with the fact that Rizu went to the battlefield in person.

The collective defection of ninjas from separate families has already caused serious losses to the Hyuga clan. If another accident occurs to the leader of the clan on the battlefield, there will only be more chaos within the Hyuga clan.

Since it is to appease the people of the separated families, there is no need to go to this extent.

"In this way, our status within the clan and in the village has finally been stabilized, and we can sit back and relax."

A clan elder breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, being remembered by senior executives is not something to be happy about.

Given the current situation of the Hyuga clan, it would be better to be on the safe side, as they really cannot withstand too many twists and turns.

"What are you doing?"

On the external corridor, the sun is shining here, and the sun is trying its best to share its light and heat with the earth.

Ruri said this to Ayane when she and Ayane met by chance in the corridor.

"What?"

"There is no need to get into this situation if you show up specifically to the Country of Grass just for the pitiful bounty."

According to what Liuli knew, when Ayane left the Hyuga clan, she took away a lot of reserve funds from the Hyuga clan, which was enough for the Hyuga clan members in the Demon Country to live a carefree life.

Ruri was very dissatisfied with the fact that Ayane assisted Iwagakure in starting a war with Konoha.

"Well, what is it? Maybe it's just a whim, or maybe Konoha is a little naive and unhappy? So what is it?"

It was obviously Liuli's question, but in order to hide it, Ayane answered with the same question and smiled.

She pointed her finger at her chin, with an innocent look as if she had no idea what she was doing, which made Liuli very angry.

"If the location here is exposed because of something like this, you should know the consequences."

Liuli frowned.

"Oh, I was just joking. You don't need to be so serious. Anyway, the more intense the Ninja World War is, the more beneficial it will be to the development of our side."

"To be honest, I hate your character very much."

I don’t know what I’m thinking at all, and I often do unreasonable and dangerous things.

How far would that bastard go to let such a woman go?

Just thinking about it made Liuli very angry.

It's not because Ayane showed up on the battlefield of Grassland. To put it more appropriately, every part of this woman's body is disgusting to herself.

Especially the breasts!

"I hate you too."

The emotion lingering in her heart, close to jealousy, made Ayane raise her lips and reveal a brighter and more innocent smile.

No matter how much you hate someone, or you want to show your jealous and hateful face, it is more important to show an impeccable smile.

"I've told you many times, don't show that fake smile in front of me. I should have warned you before."

"I just thought that when I came back, I happened to have a very good time, so I was happy. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't care."

"It seems that you are just innocent on the outside, but your nature is really promiscuous."

"Oh, you who have taken up more time, are you qualified to say such things to me? Washboard."

Washboard! Fire almost burst out of Liuli's dark pupils.

A certain nerve in my brain was completely broken.

In terms of words, he completely lost the battle.

"Ahem, I'm sorry, it seems that I said it a bit too much. In fact, it might be more vivid to use a teapot lid as an analogy. After all, the difference between a washboard and a teapot lid is still a bit big, isn't it?"

Feeling the huge hostility, Ayane's lips turned up even more cheerfully.

Defeated under the tongue.

The two stared at each other in the corridor, and the distance gradually became closer.

Even so, the two people's eyes were fixed on each other.

Not only that, the distance between the two became shorter and shorter, and then they began to bump each other's chest hard with their chests.

There seemed to be fire and lightning in the air where the eyes met.

——In the office, the staff is reporting the recent work progress to Shiraishi.

"——The above is a summary of the work so far this month."

"Thank you for your hard work. Come on down."

"Yes, Master Shiraishi."

The staff exited the door and closed it gently.

Shiraishi closed the plan book in front of him, walked to the window, looked at the distant scenery, exhaled a long breath, and relaxed his body.

After sitting down like this for a long time, my body becomes a little numb.

It seems that I need to exercise more in the future.

After all, farming at night is also very hard.

"What a peaceful scene..."

Seeing the beautiful scenery in front of him, a smile appeared on Shiraishi's face.

boom!

On the top of the mountain in the distance, an explosive flash suddenly appeared, blooming brilliantly on the top of the mountain.

Under Shiraishi's own eyes, the mountain disappeared into thin air.

"..."

◎

The land of water.

This is an island country with a special region and its own unique culture.

It is located across the sea from the largest continent in the Shinobi World, and its land and sea area combined makes it a large island nation that can compete with great powers such as the Fire Nation.

Because the country is surrounded by the sea on all sides and there are many high mountain areas inland, it is buried in thick fog all year round.

Also because they live outside the mainland and are separated from the mainland by the vast sea area, since the First Ninja War, the Kirigakure Ninja Village of the Water Country has never intervened in the Ninja War during the Second Ninja War. world war.

And recently, in this country that has been shrouded in thick fog all year round, the ninja village in the country, Wuyin Village, has gradually spread the bloody name of "Village of Blood Mist".

On a path wrapped in thick fog, a caravan was slowly moving forward.

The four-wheeled vehicle was loaded with important goods, and the escorts were wearing black hooded windbreakers with aster flowers embroidered on the back.

A caravan from the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Because the ghost country has recently carried out military reforms, strictly speaking, these guards already have a new identity-the ghost country military.

Although this kind of thing has not yet circulated in various countries, there is actually no need to deliberately publicize it.

They transported important goods and walked forward, and after another two hours, they could reach the largest port city in the country of water.

You can return to the ghost country safely by passing the ghost country military cruise ship in the port city.

"This country is such a mess."

One person said this sentence as if he had been holding back for a long time on the road.

"What?"

"Of course it's Wuyin Village, it's really scary. If you open a branch there, as long as you leave the shop, you will be monitored."

Not only that, every night can hear the faint screams.

There were ninjas who died fighting.

"This is the internal affairs of other countries and has nothing to do with us. We are only responsible for selling drugs."

"Having said that, this village is too bad. I heard that there is only one graduate of the ninja school this year, and the rest all died."

Although this kind of thing is forbidden to spread in Wuyin Village, in fact, some rumors will be revealed to some extent.

Otherwise, if it is suppressed for a long time, the people in the village will be suffocated.

"Is that little kid called 'ghost man'? It's really sad."

They communicated without saying a word, all complaining about the bad situation in Wuyin Village.

For the personnel assigned here, opening a pharmacy in Kirigakure Village would not be life-threatening, but having to monitor even going to the toilet was too much.

Distrust, blood, cruelty, and distorted atmosphere filled the village.

Just as they were transporting goods and moving forward, the sound of metal collision suddenly came from the bridge covered by fog in front of them.

It was the sound of fighting as weapons intertwined.

There are also very strong chakras colliding with each other and the water flowing under the bridge is gathering. Several water dragons belonging to different camps are biting each other, and rain is falling all over the sky.

There was a chill in the air, and both sides attacked each other without mercy.

Ninjutsu, shuriken, and detonating charms were also ferociously bombarding the opponent.

Both sides are Kirigakure ninjas, attacking each other's companions.

Because of differences in ideas and camps, we are stained with the blood of our compatriots!

"Here it comes again, the battle in the blood mist."

(PS: The blood mist was not caused by Obito. Zabuza graduated at the beginning of the Third Ninja War. The ninja school in Kirigakure Village adopted the rule of 'killing each other'. Later, the Kirigakure ninjas arrested him. Nohara Rin also said the words "Inside the Blood Mist" and was proud of the Blood Mist Ninja. The characters of the Water Country will remain unchanged, and the plot and settings will be adjusted and rationalized as much as possible to match the Third Ninja World. The war is about to begin. And it is too boring to keep writing about the farming development of the Kingdom of Demons. The Kingdom of Water can serve as a spice before the decisive battle with Madara. I originally wanted to win over the Kingdom of Earth as an ally, but after thinking about it, Kirigakure, who is in internal turmoil, The village, Kirigakure Village, which needs comprehensive reform, is more suitable as an ally. The fate of some tragic characters like Kisame will also be adjusted to a greater extent. Killing girls cannot be tolerated.)
