Escape From Konoha

After previous experiments, Sasuke already had a relatively clear idea of ​​which level his own strength was.

But compared to this intuitive manifestation, Sasuke believes that the biggest change after his Sharingan was promoted to the Eternal Eye level is that the side effects caused by using Susanoo have completely disappeared, and there is no longer the same side effects as before. Feeling of restraint.

Senjutsu cannot completely offset the side effects of Susanoo in the Mangekyou stage. Once the limit is exceeded, it will still put heavy pressure on the Sharingan. Therefore, after use, some special means are needed to maintain the overused eyes and avoid damage. .

However, such side effects completely stop before the eternal kaleidoscope. In this way, the user's long-lasting fighting ability in the Susanoo state is greatly extended, and the user will not be panting at every turn, causing eye fatigue and body aches.

At least in the fourth stage, Susanoo could no longer put any pressure on Sasuke.

The same is true for the higher-level Complete Susanoo, but unlike the physical problems caused by excessive consumption of pupil power, the main reason why the Complete Susanoo cannot be maintained for a long time is still due to its own chakra supply. Insufficiency has nothing to do with pupil power.

Just as Liuli said, if he really wants to practice next, he will focus on training chakra. As long as he improves chakra, his strength will naturally increase exponentially. When he reaches what these eyes can There will be no bottlenecks until the limit is reached.

This was a good thing for Sasuke.

In addition, there seemed to be two more things in his eyes.

The spiritual weapons are the eight-tatami mirror and the ten-fist sword.

This is what Itachi left for him.

The Yata Mirror is a powerful shield constructed from the five chakra attributes of wind, fire, thunder, water, and earth. It can reflect any spell created with the chakra of these five attributes. And the shield is hard, so even physical attacks can be rebounded. However, it is ineffective against techniques based on Yin-Yang escape.

Another spiritual weapon, the Ten Fist Sword, is an incorporeal sword that can be retracted and retracted as desired. It not only has physical attack capabilities, but can also seal the target it stabs in the sword, causing the target to fall into an endless world of illusions forever. sink.

These two spiritual weapons can be said to be a perfect combination of offense and defense, without any flaws.

The only flaw is that using these two spiritual weapons requires paying a large amount of chakra in order to use them.

Even if an ordinary ninja is equipped, the bottomless pit-like appetite of the two spiritual weapons will eat up all the chakra and die of exhaustion.

However, Sasuke felt that he had no big problem.

It may be a problem for his chakra to maintain the full Susanoo for a long time, but the chakra required to use the spiritual weapon is far less expensive than the full Susanoo. With the amount of chakra he has, summoning it can be used as Conventional weapons combat.

Thinking of this, Sasuke became a little eager to try again, but this time the target was not his own people like Shiraishi, but Konoha.

But he still remembered that there was another person who must be killed in Konoha—Shimura Danzo.

Only by killing this guy can his revenge be considered perfect.

And with his current strength, if he attacks Konoha again, he will definitely not be as embarrassed as last time.

But Sasuke was not sure whether he could kill Danzo.

Because the other party possesses the forbidden technique - Earth Reincarnation, he can summon dead ninjas to fight on his behalf.

The last time the opponent summoned Kirigakure's second-generation Mizukage Kito Gengetsu and Iwagakure's second-generation Tsuchikage Mu. No one knows how many Five Kages the opponent has in hand, maybe even those who died in Konoha. Several Hokages were also controlled by the other party...

After thinking about this, Sasuke calmed down.

The risk of rushing into Konoha alone is still very high.

And the military of the Kingdom of Ghosts would not make a big show of restricting Konoha for the second time in order to get revenge for him. His intuition told him that the military had more important things to do than deal with Konoha.

Sasuke suppressed the idea of ​​revenge against Danzo, now was not the best time.

Danzo is deeply rooted in the hinterland of Konoha. The best way to kill the opponent is to let the opponent leave Konoha, or wait until the interior of Konoha is extremely empty before taking action. This is the safest way.

After the last interference from the Kingdom of Ghosts, the Kingdom of Fire has now entered the first level of alert. Now that it has passed, it is just a trap.

Separating from Shiraishi and the others, Sasuke walked towards the dormitory room he was assigned.

Although Ruri, as the clan leader, had already bought him a mansion outside, Sasuke felt more comfortable living in a military jurisdiction compared to a residential area.

Since the mansion was purchased, he has never lived there once. He has only seen it once from a distance, in a residential area near the Third Commercial Street of Ziyuan City. The residents there are under the jurisdiction of the Uchiha clan, and many clan members have chosen to settle there.

However, the current population of the Uchiha clan is completely incomparable with the population of the Uchiha clan during the Konoha period.

The total number of clan members is less than a hundred.

One-third of them are still underage students. They were moved here seven or eight years ago on the night of the Uchiha genocide and are now attending ninja school. As for the remaining clan members, half are middle-aged and older people in their thirties and forties, and the rest are about the same age as Sasuke, or slightly older. These are the tribesmen who broke away from Konoha twenty-one years ago. Some of them are not ninjas, but just ordinary people who inherit the Uchiha surname.

It can be said that the Uchiha clan has the smallest number of the only three bloodline limited families in the Kingdom of Demons, followed by the Uzumaki clan, which migrated from various places and was reorganized. The Hyuga clan has the largest population after 21 years of thriving in the Kingdom of Demons.

However, in terms of strength, the Uchiha clan is the strongest. The only demographic flaw is that, driven by the policy of having more children and raising more children, the number of newborns should also increase in a few years. But in order to restore the population to the Konoha period, we must also ensure the relative purity of the blood. I am afraid that this will not be possible within a hundred years.

However, Sasuke didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing. At present, this is a matter that the clan leader needs to manage. His biggest goal now is to climb to the top of the Demon Country's military, where he can gain enough say and voice for himself. Accumulate sufficient development capital.

With the help of new eyes, Sasuke can be said to be confident about the future.

Returning to the dormitory building allocated in the military area, my dormitory room is on the fourth floor of the building. There are a dozen residents on each floor, each with a separate room.

The dormitory room is a unified single-room apartment, about 40 square meters. The bedroom is connected to the bathroom, and the kitchen, dining room, and living room are shared. Although it is small compared to the allocated land, this place is not originally meant for enjoyment. , enough for a person to live a good life.

From the cabinet in the bedroom, he took out something half a person's height similar to a suitcase and opened it. It was filled with brand new kunai, shurikens, scrolls, detonating charms, detonating balls, short ninja swords, etc. arms.

Sasuke skipped the kunai launcher such as the kunai gun. The kunai gun can greatly improve the combat capabilities of chunin and genin, but in Sasuke's view, it is far from the level of kunai and shuriken that he can manually launch. The speed, power and accuracy are all quite marginal.

Throw away the broken kunai, shuriken and other ninja tools in the ninja bag and replace them with brand new ninja tools. Then use a special bag to store the damaged ninja tools, and then send them to the department that deals with ninja tools. Let the professionals there handle the restoration and maintenance.

Replacing the brand new ninja didn't waste much time. As soon as Sasuke put the box away, the doorbell rang outside.

Sasuke walked out of the bedroom, went to the entrance, and opened the dormitory door.

There was a row of figures standing outside, exactly five of them.

"Sasuke-sama."

"Sasuke."

Greetings from the four people and Jugo.

"It's you, come in."

Sasuke nodded, turned to the living room, and asked these people to come in and sit down.

For a while now, he has been fusing the power of another pair of Mangekyō Sharingan in Shiraishi's laboratory. After the fusion, he went to the no-man's land of the Ghost Country to try out the new power for a while, so he did not interact with the four for a while. Everyone and Jugo met.

Seeing how full of energy they looked, they should have had a very fulfilling life during this period.

Before the transplant operation, he asked Jugo to train the four of them during his operation so that their strength could stabilize at the jounin level.

The days to come are not peaceful. If you can increase your strength, you will have more chance of survival. He is not a nanny and cannot take care of the safety of the four people anytime and anywhere.

After all, ninja is a high-risk profession. If you want to survive well and improve your own strength, it is much more practical than any trickery.

"Sasuke, it seems that your operation was successful. You give me a completely different feeling now than before."

Jugo walked into the living room, sat on the sofa, and said to Sasuke.

Sasuke, who had awakened Mangekyou before, had extremely violent chakra aura, as if he could lose control at any time, and was full of all kinds of negative emotions. But now, although Sasuke's chakra aura is still leaking, it has become stable and is almost perfectly controlled by Sasuke. Take control.

The violent feeling that seemed to be out of control also disappeared from Sasuke's chakra.

"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly, but if I want to completely control this power, I still can't relax too much and can't stop practicing."

Sasuke nodded in answer to the question.

Chongwu didn't say anything.

Although he and Sasuke are friends, his personality is destined not to be as competitive as Sasuke, nor is he too thirsty for power. For him, strength is enough.

If it hadn't been for Sasuke's request, he would have been playing with those cute little animals in the pet shop he just got.

He was not particularly keen on the bloody life of a ninja.

"So, Sasuke-sama, where will we be transferred to work next?"

At this time, Tayuya stepped in and asked.

She knew that Sasuke was not a law-abiding person. He was ambitious and would not stay in one place forever.

Although the home front was stable, the too-easy life was obviously not suitable for Sasuke.

Nowadays, the ninja world is not peaceful, and many countries have begun to become chaotic. She feels that if Sasuke has to choose, he should choose one of these chaotic countries.

Sasuke glanced at her, pondered for a moment, and said, "The place we are going to next is the border between the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Earth."

On the way back, Liuli had reminded him about this matter, and he would be arranged to go to the border between the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Earth to deal with the border defense issue.

"I remember where..."

Before Tayuya could answer, Kidomaru raised his eyebrows, obviously knowing where that place was.

As the hardest-hit area affected by the Fourth Ninja War, even after more than two years, the situation at the border between the two major countries is still chaotic, and small-scale conflicts often break out over some land disputes.

I heard that there were several times when both sides failed to hold back and almost escalated into a medium-sized conflict. Fortunately, they restrained themselves in the end and did not seriously escalate the situation.

If we start work there, we will probably have an unpleasant battle with the ninjas of Iwagakure Village.

However, not only were there no fears on the faces of the four people, but they were eager to try.

They had already experienced the strength of Konoha ninjas, and the ninjas of Iwagakure Village were about to give it a try.

"Kidomaru, you are going to use my name to go to the Intelligence Department to find Kakashi and get some detailed information from him about the border between the two countries. I need to have a deep understanding of the situation there. Before going there, I need to Prepare well."

Sasuke made a final decision and left the matter of extracting intelligence to the most stable Kidomaru.

"Yes, Sasuke-sama."

Kidomaru nodded and took the order and went out.

Immediately, Sasuke stood up from the sofa, twisted his neck, making a crackling sound, and glanced sharply at the remaining three of the four people.

Tayuya and the others trembled slightly, feeling as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast. The blood in their bodies seemed to have stopped flowing and their bodies became stiff.

Sasuke said calmly: "Next, I will personally test the growth of you guys during this period. Come with me and gather at the nearby training ground."

"yes."

Tayuya and the other three were stunned and nodded in agreement.

◎

Payne.

On Tsunade's desk, an intelligence file on the current leader of Amegakure was presented.

After being away for several days, the Konoha envoys headed by Tenzo had successfully returned from Amegakure, but the news they brought back made Tsunade a little unsure.

The current leader of Yugakure named Payne is a figure whose identity is a mystery.

He first appeared in the Independence War of the Kingdom of Rain, and there was almost no trace of the other party after that.

Judging from the information submitted by Tianzang, the current leader of Yuyin does not seem to be simple at all.

To be able to frighten the jounin messengers from four villages with just his murderous intent was not something that ordinary ninjas could do.

Moreover, according to Tianzang's reaction, at that moment, he almost felt like he was dead. If the other party took action, he would probably have to sit back and wait for death, unable to resist.

In terms of murderous intent alone, Tsunade believed that she could not do this. She was able to completely frighten four powerful jounin with her murderous intent. This was obviously not an ordinary ninja, but probably a certain ninja who had been famous for a long time. Old timer. Only these ninjas who have experienced hundreds of battles can do this.

But...Aside from the dead Sanshouyu Hanzo, is there such a thing as Ugakure?

Tsunade tapped on the table, her heart not at all peaceful.

She believed that not only her side, but also the shadows from several other villages had obtained the same information, and began to conduct a focused analysis on the identity and strength of the current leader of Yugakure.

There was no trace of a powerful ninja who seemed to pop out of the stone before.

Coupled with the two pieces of information that she suddenly received a few days ago, Tsunade felt that what was happening these days was too weird.

Who is the secret promoter?

What's the purpose?

But it has to be said that the pushers in the dark have grasped the weaknesses of several villages.

I knew there was something wrong here, but in order to get the stolen tailed beast back, I had to go in and make a break even if there was a fire pit in front of me.

Just when Tsunade was secretly distressed, there was a knock on the side.

What Tsunade saw was Jiraiya standing outside with a smile on his face, knocking on the window.

"You guy, why don't you go through the main entrance?"

Tsunade complained, but walked over and let Jiraiya jump into the house through the window.

"Oh, Tsunade, don't worry about such insignificant things. I have collected a lot of interesting information in the Land of Rain these days."

Jiraiya said with a smile, looking full of information.

"oh?"

Tsunade became a little curious.

"I will pass on the specific things to you after I get them done. If nothing else happens, I should be able to catch the little braid of that organization soon. By then, I can assemble the troops of the four villages and kill them all in one go. Lose."

Jiraiya patted the wrinkles on his clothes and said.

"Hey, don't mess around. The other party has five tailed beasts in their hands, and the technology for using the tailed beasts is probably mature. It's better for you to calm down and investigate together with the others."

Tsunade frowned, dissatisfied with Jiraiya's risky behavior of gathering information alone.

In her opinion, investigating this organization is as dangerous as investigating the Kingdom of Ghosts, full of unknown risks.

No one knows when a pit will suddenly appear, the investigators will be thrown in and buried alive, without any information being revealed.

Jiraiya is very powerful, but in front of a powerful organization that can control several tailed beasts, the risk of conducting an in-depth investigation alone is too great.

"Of course I understand this, don't worry, if I want to escape, not many people in this world can stop me."

Jiraiya waved his hand, not taking Tsunade's words to heart.

Tsunade was secretly angry that this guy was always so careless and would not shed tears until he saw the coffin.

"Besides, you're a bit wrong."

Jiraiya's expression became much more serious at this time, and he looked at Tsunade meaningfully.

"What do you mean? What did you say wrong?"

Tsunade sat back on her seat and looked at Jiraiya without knowing why.

Jiraiya held out four fingers and said: "At first we guessed that the tailed beasts that had been stolen from Takigakure Village were also taken away by that organization, so we thought that the organization might have obtained the five tailed beasts, but that was not the case. .I have obtained first-hand information about Nanao. The tailed beast was not taken away by that organization, but was hidden in the Kingdom of Demons!"

Having said this, Jiraiya's expression became much more serious, and his eyes showed a dignified look.

"What? The land of ghosts!? How could-"

Tsunade's eyes widened in shock, surprised by Jiraiya's news.

Jiraiya ignored Tsunade's dull expression at this moment, folded his hands on his chest, tilted his head and said: "The credibility of this information is about 80%. When Takigakure Nanao disappeared, Konoha was involved in this Who is on the mission?”

"Kakashi..."

Tsunade mentioned the name.

"Yes. At that time, we thought that Kakashi was from Orochimaru, so we thought that the disappearance of Nanao was related to Orochimaru and that organization. But in fact, it was not the case. Kakashi was from Chiba Shiraishi. So, where did Nanao fall? It is worth pondering which side you have. The most important thing is that in the past two days in Takigakure Village, news suddenly spread that Nanao is in the country of ghosts."

As soon as Jiraiya finished speaking, Tsunade fell into a brief silence.

"Takigakure...is this village also involved now?"

Tsunade smiled bitterly.

Sure enough, someone was secretly doing the work of pushing people, trying to fish in troubled waters.

Although I don't know what the purpose is, if I think about it carefully, it is definitely not a good thing for the ninja village whose jinchūriki are threatened.

"This is an obvious thing. I have long said that the country of Ghost Country cannot be trusted. Unfortunately, no one took this matter to heart at the time, and now it has become a problem."

Jiraiya also sighed.

The military power of the Kingdom of Demons is already very strong. If the Seven-Tails is still in hand, it may be even better than Konoha in terms of tailed beast utilization technology.

After all, that country has more than one pair of Mangekyō Sharingan.

Even if the tailed beast is not trained as a jinchūriki, it is a completely predictable scenario to directly fight the tailed beast as a psychic beast.

Tsunade was also a little uncertain, but she was not thinking about the Kingdom of Demons, but was thinking about what the final consequences would be if the issue of Nanao's ownership was brought to the table.

"Is there anything else besides this?"

"There are also some rumors. Some people say that sixteen years ago, the Nine-Tails suddenly attacked Konoha, resulting in the death of the Fourth Hokage. The murderer behind the scenes was Chiba Shiraishi."

Jiraiya thought for a while and told this information.

"Using public opinion to divert attention?"

"It's possible. It's hard to say for the other villages, but we here in Konoha may need to adjust our strategy."

Nanao disappeared and the Fourth Hokage died in the line of duty. Both the former and the latter were related to Konoha, especially the latter.

"It's really stormy. Is the guy behind the scenes planning to use our big countries as pawns in his hands?"

Tsunade smiled coldly.

The news of these big news will plunge the ninja world into chaos to a certain extent. Especially on Konoha's side, because of the Nanao incident, Konoha had many conflicts with Takigakure in this regard. The news that the Fourth Hokage was murdered by Chiba Shiraishi will also cause public pressure within Konoha. It is not that simple to settle the matter.

At least Konoha was slowed down.

"This is why I think the Kingdom of Rain will be a major breakthrough. If possible, I hope to focus on investigating the current leader of Yuyin, Payne... A guy whose identity is a mystery is very confusing no matter how he looks at it. suspicious."

Jiraiya looked at Tsunade, hoping she would agree to come down.

"Wait a minute, the situation is not very clear now. It will be a matter of time to investigate Yuyin. Before that, we need to be fully prepared."

"However, if we continue to delay like this, we may lose important fighter jets..."

Jiraiya said hesitantly.

"First go to the Kingdom of Demons to find out how they deal with Nanao and the Fourth Hokage. As for Amegakure, it's not just our side that is worried, Kumogakure, Iwagakure and Sunagakure should be more anxious than us."

After all, Konoha's jinchūriki and tailed beasts are only in a threatened state and have not been taken away by the enemy. However, the jinchuriki and tailed beasts of these three villages were clearly taken away by others. Now that they have finally found a country that is suspected to be a breakthrough, they will definitely not be willing to give up.

Even if there is a one percent chance, they don't mind turning the Kingdom of Rain upside down.

Therefore, Tsunade planned this operation, with Konoha assisting from the side, and leaving the vanguard task to the ninjas of these three villages.

Jiraiya understood what Tsunade meant. This was indeed the safest and safest approach for Konoha now.

"In addition, there is one more thing. Looking back now, it is indeed a bit suspicious..."

When Tsunade said this, she paused.

"whats the matter?"

Jiraiya asked.

Tsunade's eyes flashed.

"Nohara Rin. According to the information Takigakure provided to Konoha at the time, it was Minato's disciple Nohara Rin who stole Takigakure's Seven-Tails. Then Uchiha Obito disappeared and Kakashi returned without success. After that, Nohara Rin's parents , mysteriously disappeared from Konoha Village. At that time, Mr. Sarutobi sent ANBU to investigate for a long time, but no trace was found..."

"Tsunade, you are suspicious..."

Jiraiya was shocked.

"If Nanao is really in the Kingdom of Demons, then what roles did Nohara Rin and Uchiha Obito play in this incident? Did they die or have they survived?"

Tsunade looked out the window, and all kinds of speculations came to her mind.
