Escape From Konoha

"Where did these stinky brats come from?"

In the dark and empty forest, a man was running away in a panic.

From the sound of running footsteps, it can be heard that the man is running very fast.

He gritted his teeth resentfully, but at the same time couldn't help but look back.

There was darkness in the depths of the forest, and in the darkness it seemed that there was a ferocious beast that had already opened its mouth wide, chasing after him and biting it tightly.

The man gulped his saliva, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, then he shook his head and ran even faster.

Along the way, the man kept searching for large plants that could cover him, hoping to use the natural and complex environment in the forest to hide his figure.

Soon, he found a hiding place, hid behind a tree, stopped his running behavior, and began to pant behind the tree, his face pale.

The corner of his eye began to shift to the side and back, and he did not see the pursuer. He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he was in a safe environment for the time being.

"Damn it, there is no way to go on like this. One of them seems to have white eyes... It is a waste of time to set up a trap to delay the pace."

The man kept activating his brain and began to think about how to escape from the ninja with white eyes.

Although he defected to Sunagakure Village more than ten years ago, he was still a ninja who participated in the Third Ninja War, so he naturally knew how powerful the Byakugan was.

Today, the ninjas with white eyes in the ninja world are divided into two family systems.

One is Konoha's Hyuga Clan, which is also recognized as the orthodox Hyuga Clan in the ninja world.

The other Hyuga clan with the Byakugan belongs to the new great nation of Oni. Although it is not the Hyuga orthodoxy recognized by the ninja world, it is still a powerful force that can rank among the upper class in the Oni country.

Its leader, Hyuga Ayane, is a powerful ninja comparable to the Five Kages. In this regard, even Konoha's Hyuga orthodoxy should be ashamed.

"Hinata from the Kingdom of Ghosts..."

The man panted lowly, behind the trees, trying to suppress his sense of existence.

At the same time, he took out the Bingliang pill from the ninja bag, stuffed it into his mouth and took it.

The physical strength and chakra recovered a little, which made the man's complexion much better.

But the crisis is not over yet.

He knew that once Bai Yan locked his position, it would be difficult to get rid of Bai Yan's pursuit.

In terms of search ability, it is much more powerful than the perception ninjutsu used by perception ninjas.

However, there are also disadvantages, that is, the search range of the Byakugan is not very far. Although the accuracy is more accurate than the Sensory Ninjutsu, the Byakugan's blind spot detection ability has a much narrower range than the Sensory Ninjutsu.

If you want to get rid of Bai Yan's pursuit, you can only make good use of Bai Yan's weakness, which is not considered a weakness.

As for why the kingdom of ghosts sent ninjas to chase and kill him, the man was at a loss.

It stands to reason that the ghost country and bounty hunters like him who have long since defected from Ninja Village basically do not offend each other.

The big man behind the underground black market had never thought of provoking the Kingdom of Ghosts when he was fighting with the Kingdom of Ghosts in the past.

As a member of Hidden Sand, he is well aware of how powerful and terrifying the military power of Hidden Sand Village is.

The kingdom of ghosts who can defeat sand hidden from the front, its military power has already surpassed the kingdom of wind.

Only fools and idiots, or those who are truly not afraid of death, would be bold enough to confront a big country.

Facts have proved that the underground black market has shrunk severely. Even the big shots behind them have no choice but to withdraw the black market forces in the western part of the mainland to minimize the conflict with the Kingdom of Ghosts and avoid greater losses.

"Could it be that I offended people from the Ghost Kingdom in a reward mission in the past?"

The man continued to speculate on the question.

If this problem is not solved, even if you can escape the pursuit of the ninja behind you this time, the Kingdom of Ghosts may send more powerful ninjas to hunt you down next time.

However, as a man who has roamed the underground black market for more than ten years and has not yet been arrested by the Shayin Anbu, he has always lived according to the principle of being cautious and not causing trouble.

Once the reward task is beyond his ability, or if he wants to make enemies with some terrible forces, he will not accept it.

From this point of view, the Kingdom of Ghosts has no reason to keep an eye on him.

…

"The other party stopped."

The twelve- or thirteen-year-old boy with long black hair, the veins protruding next to his eyes, and his pure white pupils did not contain any impurities. After penetrating layers of obstacles, he accurately found the place where the target was hiding.

"Chakra is very disordered, and the nerves seem to be tense."

On the side, a girl with long red hair, about twelve or thirteen years old, adjusted the red-rimmed glasses on her face. After releasing her sensory ninja, she sensed the target's chakra status at this time. It can even detect that the target's nervous system is in a tense state based on the fluctuation of the target's chakra.

"The opponent's physical strength should be almost exhausted after chasing to this extent. Cai, report his direction, distance, and how many obstacles there are."

The boy wearing a monocle was older than the man and woman next to him. He took out a kunai from his ninja bag and played with it casually. Around his body, a trace of electricity seeped from the atmosphere. And out.

Especially holding the palm of Kunai, the blue lightning flickered faintly, and then disappeared quickly.

"Well... the distance is 120 meters at 11 o'clock ahead. If we attack from Brother Asuka, there will be four trees blocking the road as obstacles."

With white eyes, he immediately reported the direction, distance, and obstacles on the way of the other party.

"Four trees, one hundred and twenty meters... In this case, Chakra cannot be saved, and it is barely within my attack range."

Asuka muttered the information reported by Cai, a dense electric light suddenly gathered in his palm, and the air around him was also filled with densely packed tiny electric snakes, making a sound like an electric leak.

"Go ahead."

Asuka threw the kunai out of his hand vigorously, and the dazzling lightning flashed away from the kunai, and the kunai, which was flying forward quickly, lost its trace in the blink of an eye.

I only saw a big tree not far away, with a bowl-sized hole cut out from the center. Through this hole, I could clearly see the scenery on the opposite side.

boom!

The sound of explosions on the ground.

Amidst this violent explosion, people's screams of pain were also heard.

"superior!"

Taking this scream as a signal, the three Asukas immediately launched the teleportation technique, disappeared from the place, and ran forward quickly to pursue the enemy.

The man hiding behind the tree rolled on the ground in a state of disgrace. The left side of his body was dripping with blood. There was a piece of flesh on his shoulder that looked like it had been cut out, and it was bloody and bloody.

The paralysis caused by the electric current made the man move extremely slowly, and his left arm was completely disabled and could not be used.

Big beads of sweat kept flowing down his face, and his teeth clenched together tightly, holding back the pain and not screaming again.

Can't stop here! The man thought to himself.

Being able to attack here from a distance proves that his position has been exposed.

Staying here will lead to death.

He looked at the kunai that had blasted a crater on the ground in horror, and was leaning into the small explosion crater intact.

The man stood up and jumped, preparing to escape in the distance.

However, just as his front feet left the ground, a flash of light flashed past him.

The sharp breath cut the skin on his face.

boom!

A large piece of rock ahead was shattered.

What was inserted there was still a standard kunai that was dark and reflected light.

Although the appearance is the same as that of ordinary kunai, after such a terrifying energy burst out and the rock was shattered, there was still no damage, so we knew that this was not a kunai made of ordinary materials.

The man's body rolled to the side, and the impact airflow generated by the explosion was too much for his body.

Blood was still flowing from his left arm. The blood loss was very serious. The man's lips had turned white, and the color of the skin on his face had begun to turn gray.

"Bagua·Kongzhang!"

The air flow was quickly compressed in the palm of the hand, and then launched out like a cannonball, hitting the man's body directly.

The man kicked off the ground and barely dodged the air cannon attack.

Flexible physical reflexes are reflected in him.

Cai saw that the man had dodged her attack, but she didn't pay attention. Instead, she leaned forward and concentrated chakra on her legs. The speed of the explosion made the man only see an afterimage approaching her quickly.

That's too late! The man had just settled down and looked at Cai who was already close at hand. He had no choice but to raise his still intact right arm and start blocking.

Poof!

The man's face was twisted, and a look of pain flashed in his eyes.

Cai's two fingers looked like a sharp knife, piercing directly into the man's arm.

Soft boxing and acupuncture!

Sharp chakra airflow shoots out from the fingertips.

Click!

The sound of bones being cut from the middle can be clearly heard.

"ah!"

The man let out a cry of pain, his right arm seemed to have lost consciousness, and he could not move at all. Like his left arm, he couldn't get a seal.

Dark lightning struck instantly from behind Cai.

With a snort, Kunai sank into the man's throat, and a drop of blood didn't splash out, as if the wound that could spurt blood was blocked by Kunai.

The man made an inexplicable sound from his mouth, and then fell to the ground, his body was cold and motionless.

Cai's fingers were also successfully pulled out of the man's arm. There was no blood on the two fingers. There was a layer of chakra film on the outside to protect the fingers and keep the blood out of the chakra film.

"Tsk, it's true that you two brothers fight with such terrifying moves every time."

Seeing the tragic death of the man, with a little fear remaining on his face, Xiang Lin with long red hair rushed to the scene, tsk-tsk loudly.

After seeing the dead body, my stomach felt a little queasy.

Although she didn't kill people, she herself was also an 'accomplice'.

Cai tilted her head and replied: "It's nothing. I practice a lot with my mother and Aunt Liuli. When fighting, I will inevitably attack the fatal parts of the human body. Ninja fighting is not a child's play. It must be done as quickly and neatly as possible. Solve the enemy, and your own situation will become safe."

For Cai, the enemy who can be defeated must be defeated quickly, without giving the opponent the slightest chance to respite and come back from the jedi.

At this time, Asuka took back the kunai scattered around.

Unlike ordinary kunai, the kunai he uses is his own special kunai, which can better cooperate with his thunder escape ninjutsu and attack enemies from a distance.

"Okay, the mission target has been cleared, first go to the assembly point and meet up with Teacher Yan. I leave the corpse to you, Xianglin."

As the captain, Asuka began to give orders.

"I know, Asuka-senpai... uh, no, it should be Captain Asuka now."

Xianglin got the order, took out a scroll, endured nausea, and sealed the body of the male ninja inside the scroll.

After cleaning up the scene, the three people quickly left.

◎

"Thank you for your hard work. How about it? How does it feel when you see blood for the first time? Do you feel any burden?"

In a hotel room, the three Asukas met their mentor, Jonin Uchiha Yan.

The opponent is a powerful jounin of the Uchiha clan in the Kingdom of Demons, and a close subordinate of Asuka's mother, Uchiha Ruri.

His strength allows him to occupy a place even in the Demon Country's military, which has many experts.

It is now June. The genin from the Kingdom of Oni will take the chuunin exam this year. They have completed their two-month internship in the police force. Under the leadership of their respective mentoring jounin, they have handed over to the underground black market platform and temporarily become bounties. Hunters, participate in various actual battles and accumulate experience.

This hunt for the rebellious ninja of Sunagakure Village was the Asuka Team's first mission in actual combat training.

After the three came back, Uchiha Yan asked them how they felt after completing the mission, because he didn't want the three Asukas to have psychological problems because of killing people.

"It feels like nothing. After all, the psychological preparation for killing has been arranged by the school before graduation."

Asuka expressed his feelings.

He is the captain of the team. Compared to Cai and Xianglin, he is several years older than them. Although there was a slight uncomfortable rejection reaction in his body at the moment when he started killing, this uncomfortable feeling of rejection quickly disappeared from his body.

Now that his mood has completely calmed down, he will not be affected by things like killing people, causing his condition to deteriorate.

Cai's expression was quite indifferent, and it seemed that she felt similar to Asuka.

For him, there is no difference at all between hunting large beasts and hunting ninjas.

He has been trained as an elite since he was a child. In terms of ninja quality, he is even better than his brother Asuka.

He had already prepared himself mentally for a ninja to kill someone.

"A little nauseous, and I feel like vomiting."

Xianglin said bitterly, and made a gesture of retching.

Unlike the two boys, she had been injured and bled during actual combat exercises in the past, but that situation was completely different from the real killing scene.

As far as blood was concerned, the latter was more stimulating to her sensitive nerves as a woman.

To this day, she still remembers the appearance of the corpse when it died, and cannot immediately eliminate this image from her mind.

But if there was any substantial psychological burden, she shook her head.

"Just get used to it. This is a necessary step for the growth of ninjas. Only ninjas who have seen blood can be ninjas, otherwise they are just flowers in the greenhouse. In comparison, the ninjas of your era are already very lucky. , unlike our time, wars often broke out..."

Uchiha said with emotion.

But before he finished speaking, Xianglin started to roll his eyes and interrupted:

"Teacher, why are you as verbose as my mother? You always preach like an old man, and you will definitely enter old age early."

"What are you talking about? I'm only in my early forties this year."

Uchiha Yan glared at Xianglin.

Although as a man, he doesn't care too much about his age like a woman does, he still can't fully accept the fact that he is old.

Moreover, his body is still at its peak and he is still a long way from reaching old age.

"Speaking of which, are the bounty targets brought back to us for our own disposal?"

Xianglin couldn't help but ask.

Thinking that the corpse in the scroll was worth one million taels, even if it was divided equally among three people, each of them would get a high reward of more than 300,000 taels, which made Xianglin feel very hot.

This burning feeling in my heart caused even the disgusting feeling of killing people to dissipate a lot from my heart.

"If you think too much, the bounty target will naturally be handed over to the higher ups. The reward you can get is only one-tenth of the reward."

Uchiha Yan glanced at Xianglin helplessly.

"Damn capitalist!"

Xianglin suddenly became depressed when she thought that she had worked hard for a long time and only got such a small amount of money.

But he did not disobey the order and honestly handed over the scroll containing the body to Uchiha Yan.

"Stop complaining. If you have this time, why not improve yourself? As long as you occupy a high position in the military in the future, money is the least valuable thing. As for the next mission, I will tell you next week. In the past few days, you Please digest the results of this mission, adjust your mood, and check where you still have shortcomings."

Uchiha Yan said.

To become a ninja, you must kill people. This is something that every ninja must experience.

Although the Ninja School in the Land of Ghosts has set up so-called psychological counseling classes, it is difficult for Uchiha Yan to accurately judge to what extent it will be effective.

Rather than killing people, Uchiha Yan hopes that the three Asukas can understand what the heaviness of life is.

Whether it is your own life or the life of others.

From the moment you become a ninja, you have already embarked on a road of no return.

Uchihayan saw too many ninjas whose psychology was distorted because of too many killings during Konoha period. Later, these ninjas would even lose control and hurt their teammates, and thus they would be monitored and imprisoned by the ninja village. The ending could be described as extremely bleak.

Therefore, those who are not fully prepared will fall to pieces on the road of ninja.

"What? You are completely looking down on us."

After Uchiha Yan left, Xianglin began to vent his dissatisfaction.

"No, I think Teacher Yan is right. We need to adjust ourselves as soon as possible to prepare for the next mission."

Asuka sat aside, took out a piece of sandpaper, and rubbed it carefully on the kunai. Although it was a special kunai, it also needed regular maintenance to extend its service life.

"It doesn't matter, it's a task that can be completed easily anyway."

Xianglin responded like this.

When she said this, she was not only confident in her own strength, but also full of confidence in her two teammates.

"This is best, but I think the next targets may be more powerful than the last. In the end, even if we start a life-and-death struggle with a real jounin, it is not impossible."

Asuka made this guess.

Using the underground black market platform to hone this generation of new genin, the military paid not only money, but also a large amount of human resources to create such an almost real actual battlefield. After paying such a huge price, as recruits, they will definitely not have an easy time in this trial. Some of the trials may be accompanied by huge risks that endanger their lives.

"Jounin? It doesn't matter. With the abilities of the three of us, it's not impossible to deal with one jounin."

Xianglin frowned slightly, and then relaxed again.

Although with the current strength of their team, it is very difficult to deal with jonin, but with reasonable tactical arrangements, they may not be unable to use the team's advantage to defeat jounin-level ninjas.

What's more, her sensory ninjutsu and Aya's Byakugan are both strategic-level abilities. In terms of formulating tactics, she can definitely get the upper hand in the battle.

"There is also a huge gap between Jonin and Jonin... Moreover, what if we have to deal with not one Jonin, but multiple Jonin?"

Asuka stopped maintaining the kunai in his hands, pushed up the monocle on his face, and said the worst case scenario that could happen.

Sure enough, Xianglin couldn't help but shudder when she heard Asuka's pessimistic speculation.

With reasonable tactics, it is not difficult to deal with a Jonin with the abilities of the three of them.

But if two or more jounin are dealt with at the same time, even Xiang Rin's face will be full of solemnity and panic.

In the ninja world, genin are just a group of new recruits with little or no experience. The strength is generally weak, and the team ability is poor, with the largest number of cannon fodder representatives on the battlefield.

Chuunin are powerful ninjas who have accumulated a large number of actual combat, and because they have been in battle for a long time, they can better take advantage of team fighting. It is a ninja village, or a relatively important backbone of the country.

At the level of jounin, the number began to decrease sharply.

Every jounin is a valuable elite fighting force.

It is very difficult for a genin team to deal with a single Jonin. Most genin teams, facing a single jounin, will be quickly wiped out by the jounin with thunderous force.

If multiple jounin existed at the same time and cooperated with each other...such a severe test was definitely not something that the genin could withstand.

But if you think about it, this kind of thing could happen.

Among this year's Genin recruits from the Demon Country, there are also strong and weak ones.

Her team is undoubtedly among the best among the genin of the Demon Country.

This also meant that the tests their team faced were much more difficult than those of other genin teams. Asuka's guess is not without purpose.

"The target of this mission is already quite strong among the chuunin, but it will only appear weak when faced with the encirclement and suppression by the three of us. If you are a jounin, even if the three of you join forces, you must be careful." Maybe next week’s task will be to deal with a real Jonin. We need to use this week to improve the team’s overall and individual abilities.”

During his time at the ninja school, Asuka served in the Demon Country's military, studying and manufacturing various industrial weapons, so he knew the military's background very well.

Coupled with the financial support of the most powerful chamber of commerce in the ninja world, this powerful machine of the military can rotate at an extremely terrifying speed.

When this huge machine is running, it will be difficult for any of the traditional five major countries to check and balance it with its own military power.

The Kingdom of Ghosts emphasizes the integration of military, politics, and economy. However, in this extremely special era when the situation in all countries is unstable, all politics and economy serve the purpose of military operations.

Even if it is a neutral unit such as the underground black market that does not belong to any country, the Kingdom of Demons has the ability to interfere from the inside and use the underground black market as a neutral platform to train new genin.

Therefore, arranging Jonin-level bounty targets from the underground black market to provide recruit training for the Kingdom of Demons may be a bit too extravagant, but Asuka understands that it is not difficult to do such a thing as long as the military wants to.

Birds never place their hopes on luck.

According to this process, it would be only a matter of time before they faced a ninja-level battle.

"For the Joint Chuunin Examination in September, the remaining ninja villages may have excluded very powerful genin, otherwise the higher-ups wouldn't suddenly become stricter this year... From this point of view, this year's Chunin Examination will be more rigorous than It was a little more fun last year.”

Asuka held the kunai in his hand and whispered to himself, with a smile of interest in his eyes.
