Escape From Konoha

With a heavy heart, Mabuyi walked along the long corridor, holding a pile of unprocessed documents in his arms, towards Lei Ying's office.

In front of Lei Ying's office door, she first took a deep breath, and then stretched out a hand to twist the office door which was not locked from the inside.

"Huh?"

The expected thing did not happen, which surprised her as Lei Ying's secretary.

I saw Lei Ying sitting at the desk honestly, holding Lei Ying's special seal, stamping the documents in an orderly manner, as if he was serious about his work.

Such an impossible scene made Mabui feel a little unreal.

Because the Erwei Jinchuriki disappeared in the country of Nami, she knew that as Raikage himself, the pressure on her body can be imagined.

In addition, some old stubborn people in the village kept coming over to apply eye drops because of this incident. A few days ago, Lei Ying's office was almost as noisy as a vegetable market. Basically, every two or three hours, she would give The Raikage arranged the new desk.

"What are you doing there, quickly put the file over here, Mabui!"

Seeing Mabui standing at the door of the office like a stake, Fourth Raikage thumped the table with his fingers to express his dissatisfaction.

I wonder if my secretary is too lazy today?

"Ah, okay, Raikage-sama."

Mabuyi hesitated for a moment before realizing the fact that Raikage from home was working seriously.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but secretly shed tears of emotion.

Since she served as Raikage's secretary, it was the first time she saw Raikage who worked so hard.

Normally, Lord Raikage is either exercising or on the way to exercising. He is always thinking about how to strengthen his muscles. Let him hold a pen holder like a civil servant and work at his desk. No matter how you look at it, it is very illegal. and things.

So much so that Mabui sometimes ignored Raikage, thinking that the other party was just a muscular general who knew how to manage the village.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the reason why Yunyin attaches great importance to military power.

Raikage in the past has always been a fighting school full of aggressive thoughts. After so many years of fighting thoughts, there are only three or two conservatives in the village.

Even her secretary, after years of training, has completely transformed into Raikage's shape, and will often support Raikage's fighting ideas.

It's just that she understands better that the basis for supporting her own Raikage's external expansion is to ensure the stability of the rear and sufficient supplies in the rear.

"Well, Lord Raikage..."

Mabuyi put down the documents in his arms and spoke hesitantly.

"What's up?"

The Raikage glanced sideways at the other person.

"Did something good happen today? You usually exercise your muscles in the office..."

Thinking of this, Mabui began to think about whether the place where Raikage should work is an extremely serious office or a gym.

Fortunately, this office is so big that there is enough space to display it, half of which can be used for office work, and half of which is filled with fitness equipment.

"Even I take a break once in a while."

The Fourth Raikage replied.

In his eyes, work and rest are equated.

Anyway, just hold the seal and keep stamping it.

Compared with bloody and sweaty training, working in the office is almost like resting.

"I see."

Azabu nodded understandingly.

A very Raikage-like speech.

"Furthermore, the strength of my physical body has reached the current bottleneck. Even the Hyuga Clan's Soft Fist will greatly reduce the damage to my internal organs. There is no way to break through for the time being. Just take advantage of this time to calm down... Is there still no news from Yumu Ren?”

Because it has been getting stronger over the years, the aggressive factor in the fourth generation of Raikage's body is also gradually ignited.

Sending troops, in the name of Ziyuezhong, an underground black market, to the Kingdom of Waves to steal weapons research materials from the Kingdom of Ghosts is a test of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

First, because Yunyin's power has accumulated enough, compared to a few years ago, it has grown exponentially.

Secondly, the powerful and complete industrial system of the ghost country made him salivate. If Lei Zhiguo and Yunyin want to break through the original limitations, they must pay attention to the development of the industrial system.

How can it be faster to plunder others to develop by oneself?

Aside from the already weak Fire Nation and Konoha, the Oni Nation is now the number one enemy of Cloud Yin and Thunder Nation.

He thought so before the two-tailed Jinchuriki Niu Yumu disappeared.

"No."

Mabuyi answered simply.

Fourth Raikage took a sip of tea lightly, waiting for Mabui's next words.

"According to the information provided by Konoha Jiraiya Jonin, the two ninjas who forcibly abducted Yumuren from the ninjas of the ghost country that day belonged to a mysterious organization. Members of this mysterious organization will wear black and red clouds The coat is decorated, and a ring with a code name will be worn on the finger. After these days of investigation, the identity of one of them has been determined."

Azabu obeyed and took out one of the documents that had been put down.

"who?"

"The name is Didara, and he is fifteen years old. He used to be a member of the blasting team of Yanyin Village, a disciple of Mr. Onogi, but he left Yanyin a few years ago due to some incidents, and became a wanted criminal of S rank. According to the intelligence, he is a dangerous traitor who is good at using long-range bombs."

"How old was he when he left Iwagakure?"

"She seems to be eleven or twelve years old."

"In other words, the old man from Iwagakure Village can't even deal with a kid playing with bombs? He is as good as the Hokage of Konoha."

Opposite to this is Itachi of the Konoha Uchiha clan.

He also became famous at a young age, and is also an S-rank rebel.

With Konoha's "jewel in front", it seems that Iwagakure is not willing to be lonely, and wants to surpass Konoha in the gimmick of genius rebel ninja.

"In a way, that's a good thing."

After all, the genius who was finally cultivated rebelled against the Ninja Village, which was tantamount to weakening his own power in disguise.

Mabuyi felt that it was reasonable for this to happen to Konoha. After all, this was not the first time this kind of thing had happened to this village.

First it was the three giants of the Kingdom of Demons, then it was Orochimaru among the three ninjas, and then there was Itachi, the genocide...

It's just that she doesn't understand, why is Yanyin Village coming in to join in the excitement?

"Where's the other person?"

The Fourth Raikage asked.

"It's an unidentified puppet master. The puppet master can use a puppet that can use sand iron ninjutsu. The appearance of the puppet... seems to be very similar to the third generation Kazekage of Sunagakure who disappeared in the past."

The Third Kazekage was definitely a pain point that the ninjas of Sunagakure Village were least willing to recall.

During the ruling period of the second and third generations of Fukage of Sand Hidden Village, the village style of Sand Hidden Village was very barbaric and cruel.

During the Second Kazekage period, in order to strengthen the power of the Ninja Village, the Second Kazekage Salmon devoted himself to the research of Ichibi Shukaku and developed a magnetic escape blood succession limit unique to Sunagakure Village.

The third generation Kazekage inherited the legacy of the second generation Kazekage and developed the blood-inherited boundary of magnetic release and sand iron. He was invincible on the battlefield and made a great name in surrounding countries.

The same aggressiveness is more aggressive than the previous generation of Kazekage.

It was such a talented Kazekage who mysteriously disappeared on the eve of the outbreak of the Third Ninja World War.

The missing Kazekage also became the trigger for the third Ninja World War. Let Sayin have an excuse to frame the country of fire and Konoha, and brazenly launch a war of aggression. From then on, the third ninja world war was like a group of wild horses running wild, uncontrollably rushing around, involving several big countries.

It is undeniable that the missing three generations of Kazekage are of great historical significance to this war that has swept through most of the major powers in the ninja world.

Similarly, it was also a huge loss of military power in Hidden Sand Village. If the Kazekage had not suddenly disappeared, the pattern of the Third Ninja World War might have been different. Sunagakure Village would not have been restrained by Konoha in the early and mid-term, but would have been directly led by the Third Kazekage. , united with Yan Yin, and directly invaded the hinterland of the country of fire.

Now that there is a suspected existence, it's hard not to let people care about it.

After all, the disappearance of a generation of Kazekage, until now, is a big unsolved case in the ninja world.

"Sandai Kazekage...have you confirmed the identity of the puppet master?"

Fourth Raikage tapped the table with his fingers, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Under investigation. After all, the profession of puppet master is very special. If you want to investigate, you only need to start with Sunagakure. According to the information provided by Konoha, the members of this mysterious organization are basically extremely dangerous. The ninja from Li Village. Sha Yin... the puppet masters from Li Village, after such an investigation, it won't take long to roughly determine the scope of the search."

Mabuyi said this.

Although there is no way to directly obtain information from Sha Yin, but with Yun Yin's intelligence system, it is only a matter of time before the identity of the puppet master is screened out.

"Then continue to follow up, and we must find out this group of secret mice."

"Having said that, since this organization can recruit so many dangerous traitorous ninjas, it must also have a certain amount of armed force. In fact, it is a good choice to cooperate with Konoha on this matter. After all, there is some information that Konoha has We concealed it, and only by cooperating can we get more information."

Mabuyi suggested.

An organization secretly staring at Renzhuli, if it is not so stupid that it is hopelessly stupid, it means that this organization has several brushes. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so bold as to attack Renzhuriki. This is tantamount to violating the taboos of the major ninja villages.

Once it is exposed, it will inevitably be jointly suppressed by the major ninja villages.

Fourth Raikage narrowed his eyes, thinking about it.

"No, I have already rejected the Hokage on this matter. Now I want to discuss cooperation. I can't lose face like this. Moreover, Konoha's internal intelligence system frequently makes mistakes, and the intelligence they collect may not be correct. Also Exposure to the potential risk of the ghost country."

The Fourth Raikage snorted coldly.

"That's right, but in this way, it's impossible to find Yumuren in a short time..."

Moreover, even if it is found, it may not be possible to see a living person. At that time, a new Jinchuriki will be needed to seal Erwei's container.

It's just that the new Ertail Jinchuriki, although there are some ninja candidates in Yunyin Village, none of them are the best candidates. After all, the existence of Renzhuli requires a special physique.

The premise is that we can successfully welcome back to the second tail.

"I will send out another detachment of ANBU, plus twelve jounin, and a joint investigation team composed of a hundred chuunin. No matter what, the missing jinchūriki and tailed beasts must be found, even if it is a corpse! Find the old lair of that organization and get rid of them all at once. Yun Yin's majesty does not allow anyone to provoke him!"

Fourth Raikage clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were beating with fierce lightning, as if he was showing signs of losing control.

"Understood. Also..."

"Is there anything else?"

"Yes, there have been frequent armed fights in some small villages on the border recently."

There was also a strange look on Mabuyi's face.

"what happened?"

Fourth Raikage looked puzzled.

"I'm not sure. It seems to be caused by some conflicts. Do you want to set up an investigation team to go there?"

Mabuyi didn't know whether this kind of thing was important.

Fourth Raikage thought for a while, and said directly: "The most important thing at present is the joint Chunin exam, and the recovery of the missing Jinchuriki and Tailed Beast. Let the people at the Daming Mansion handle such trivial matters. It’s probably just some hooligans making trouble unreasonably.”

Are the gangsters making trouble? Azabui looked at the report on the file.

If it was just hooligans causing trouble, why did this happen in multiple villages?

Mabuyi had never encountered anything like this before, and it was hard for Mabuyi to understand, and her mind was filled with confusion.

◎

boom!

The tea cup on the table was thrown away and smashed to pieces on the ground.

The officials sitting on both sides were silent and did not dare to breathe.

"It's really lawless, this group of pariahs!"

Because he was too angry, the thin and bitter face of the Water Country Daimyo was filled with an extremely terrifying and twisted look.

In the castle tower of the Daming Mansion, which best displays the majesty of the daimyo, there is an extremely depressing atmosphere.

The piece of information presented before him was the source of the anger of the Daimyo of the Land of Water.

The reason was that half a month ago, a group of villagers who didn't know why they were making trouble killed the village head of a small village, which triggered a riot on a small scale.

While waiting for the nearby army to suppress them, the group of villagers mysteriously dispersed and hid somewhere unknown.

Subsequently, riots in villages and towns in the southern part of the Water Country got out of hand.

In just half a month, there were about fifteen villages and three small towns, and a large number of residents fought fiercely with weapons, and some officials were involved and accidentally "sacrificed".

This trend seems to be spreading further.

Panic is not enough, the first feeling of the Water Kingdom daimyo is that his ruling power has been unprovoked by some people.

Although the army was dispatched to suppress the incident afterwards, only some irrelevant people were captured. The real mastermind seemed to have been hidden for a long time, and just like the villagers of the first small village where the riot occurred, they mysteriously disappeared.

The Daimyo of the Land of Water didn't know if allowing this kind of riot to continue would lead to the 'sacrifice' of more officials, but when the authority of the noble class was questioned, the first thought was naturally to fight back violently.

But he thought that these low-level untouchables who participated in the riot seemed to have a big hand controlling their actions secretly. As a result, the armies he sent over were met with failure every time and gained very little.

"Daimyo, please calm down. Anger will not help when something like this happens. The most important thing right now is how to appease this matter."

one official said.

"Of course I know this kind of thing. I even suspect that the reason behind this matter is related to the Kingdom of Ghosts."

The daimyo of the Kingdom of Water looked gloomy, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes.

The land of ghosts!

Although the Kingdom of Water is located overseas, it is not completely ignorant of things on the mainland.

After all, the Mizukage who belonged to Kirigakure Village in the Land of Water was also present at the Five Kage Conference a few years ago.

And later, the Kingdom of Oni became the sixth largest country, because the Kingdom of Oni ceded some of its benefits to the Kingdom of Water, and he also signed the agreement, recognizing the status of the Kingdom of Oni as the sixth largest country.

After all, the fierce fighting between the countries on the mainland has little impact on the Kingdom of Water. Even if the Kingdom of Ghosts is recognized as a great power, it will not cause much damage to the Kingdom of Water.

But he didn't expect that the Kingdom of Ghosts would secretly attack the Kingdom of Water.

As a daimyo of the land of water, this was something he had never expected.

"Is... could this be a mistake?"

One official hesitated.

It is not a wise thing to rashly frame a big country. Although he thought so too.

Because three years ago, the Country of Waves was instigated step by step by the Kingdom of Ghosts. Violent activities by workers and farmers occurred across the country, overthrowing the old aristocratic class of the Country of Waves.

A similar situation is now occurring in some towns in the southern part of the Kingdom of Water. The workers and farmers at the bottom have rioted on a large scale, which is very similar to the tactics deployed by the Kingdom of Ghosts in the Kingdom of Waves.

"Except for the Kingdom of Ghosts, I can't think of any other country that would do such boring things. How dare you think of it, do you think that my Kingdom of Water is the Kingdom of Waves?"

A sneer appeared on the mean face of the water country daimyo.

This kind of thing just surprised him with a little anger and panic? It's simply not necessary.

Unlike the Land of Waves, the Land of Water has an extremely powerful militarized ninja village.

Do you really think that if you fan your emotions at the bottom, you can treat the Land of Water as if it were the Land of Waves?

The reason why the Kingdom of Waves is unable to resist is because there is no strong military support.

The Land of Water will never become the next Land of Waves!

The daimyo of the country of water is very confident in his country.

"Daimyo, do you mean..."

An official looked solemn.

"Send an order to Kirigakure to send ninja troops to suppress the turmoil as soon as possible, and to find the mastermind and execute him immediately. In addition, we must also take precautions against the ghost country. It is best to catch the ghost country through this matter. Little braid, as long as their people enter the country of water, they will definitely leave a handle."

The Daimyo of the Kingdom of Water said firmly.

You cannot hesitate at this time, you must take it seriously.

Although it is only a guess that the kingdom of ghosts will intervene, it is undeniable that the kingdom of ghosts is most likely to do it.

Therefore, it is necessary to dispatch the ninjas of Wuyin Village at the first time to completely suppress the flames of the riots that have just risen.

At the same time, I can also tell some people that the Land of Water and the Land of Waves are fundamentally different and cannot be compared!

◎

"As Mizukage-sama expected, that daimyo really intends to let us Kirigakure handle this matter."

In Mizukage's office in Kirigakure Village, Terumi Mei, who has officially nominated a candidate for the fifth generation of Mizukage, is holding a letter sent from the Daimyo Mansion in the Land of Mizukage. For a playful smile.

That way, it's like seeing something interesting.

The riots of workers and peasants at the bottom of the townships in the southern part of the country of water can be said to be the riots instigated by Wuyin Village.

Because those rioting workers and farmers were the grassroots backbone trained by Wuyin Village from the very beginning.

The officials of the Daming Mansion of the Water Country suspected that this matter had something to do with the Ghost Country, and it could only be said to be a perfect misunderstanding.

No one would have thought that Mizukage of Wuyin Village is the biggest rebel of the old forces in the Land of Water.

After all, whether in the eyes of their own people or outsiders, the interests of Kage and Daimyo are consistent and unshakable when fighting against foreign enemies.

Because of this trust, even if the relationship between Kirigakure and the Daming Mansion began to deteriorate, the Daimyo of the Land of Water still believed that Kirigakure Village would help the Daming Mansion suppress the flames of rebellion. Just because Mizukage is also a member of the vested interests.

If the Daming Prefecture had not cut its financial support to Kirigakure Village in the past, and thus supported Kirigakure Village's Blood Mist Reform in disguise, allowing the Kirigakure radicals headed by Xiguashan Fugugui to come to power, and then wantonly communicate with foreign enemies and harm the village compatriots, Daming Prefecture would have There is nothing wrong with the decision.

However, times have changed now.

Kirigakure is no longer the Kirigakure he used to be.

The ninjas of the current Mizukage faction, who were the initiators of the coup in the past, no longer want to try to be economically controlled by others.

"I say I'm not afraid, but in my heart I still don't know about the Kingdom of Ghosts. But thanks to the Kingdom of Ghosts' previous actions in the Country of Waves, the people of Daming Mansion had such a misunderstanding."

Yagura, who was still serving as the Fourth Mizukage, crossed his hands on his desk and said in a calm tone.

"What do you say from the Kingdom of Ghosts?"

"They will cooperate with each other to let this misunderstanding continue perfectly. Anyway, the trust of various countries has been completely destroyed by the deliberate instigation of the military leaders of the Demon Country. In addition, Akatsuki's actions are becoming more and more public, and sooner or later they will be Pay attention and become a target that attracts the attention of all countries. Now is the time for us Kirigakure to take action and strengthen our linkage with grassroots organizations."

Yagura has been preparing for this moment for a long time.

Just like the coup in Kirigakure Village in the past, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Victory often comes only to those who are well prepared.

Ever since the war in the Kingdom of Wind settled down four years ago, he knew that the rise of the Kingdom of Demons was unstoppable, which meant that the alliance between Kirigakure and the Kingdom of Demons would continue and maintain a highly cooperative relationship.

It was at that time that he started preparing everything.

Before the Kingdom of Ghosts intervened in the affairs of the Kingdom of Waves, he had already begun to take advantage of his identity as a water shadow to infiltrate the lower-level workers and farmers in the towns and villages of the Kingdom of Water, cutting off the power of the powerful people in the Kingdom of Water to control the grassroots. Slowly dismantling the foundations of their rule.

In the past, all he lacked was an opportunity to officially come to the stage of the Kingdom of Water.

Now, this blade that will cut off the future of the vested interests of all nobles in the Kingdom of Water, the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Water has personally sent this sword over, and personally delivered it to the hands of his executor.

Yagura thought that the daimyo of the land of water had already reached this point and even raised his head. He must not let down the trust of the daimyo of the land of water.

"In the next two years, the goal is to cut off the connections between the powerful people in the Kingdom of Water and the more than 60% of workers and farmers at the bottom. In the third year, we will start to send power to the city. I will handle this matter personally. As for the The matter of the Joint Chunin Examination will be left to you to meet with the Demon Country."

Yagura said these words.

As Terumi Mei grew up, he gradually began to let go of the power of the Mizukage.

At that point it will just be a matter of peaceful transition.

But putting down the Mizukage's responsibilities does not mean that his mission is over.

Whether it was linking up with the workers and farmers at the bottom of the Water Kingdom or Akatsuki organizing the capture of the tailed beasts, it meant that he was far from relaxing and resting.

The former is the foundation for Kirigakure Village to rule the Kingdom of Water in the future, while the latter is a terrifying force that will inevitably be hostile.

Yagura will feel at ease only if he personally takes care of it.

"yes."

Terumi Mei responded sternly.

Yagura nodded with satisfaction. After being trained by the elder masters and himself, Mei Terumi already had the abilities and strength that a Mizukage should have.

In this way, he has no worries and can give it a try.

He took out a badge from the drawer and played with it carefully in his hand.

On the back of the badge, there is also written a line of small but very clear words - President of the Workers' and People's Cooperative of the Water Country Branch of the International Workers' and People's Cooperative.
