Escape From Konoha

After separating from Ayane, Shiraishi returned to the Uchiha clan along the same route.

Along the way, he was thinking about the question Ayane asked, how to explain to Ruri that he was about to leave Konoha.

Although he is not sure when it will be, Shiraishi knows that next year at the latest, Sunagakure Village will launch an attack on the Fire Country. By then, Konoha will not be able to take care of itself, and then it will be his best time to leave Konoha.

If you miss this time, you will never have such an excellent opportunity again.

Therefore, when the war broke out, leaving Konoha was the path Shiraishi would inevitably take.

No one can stop his determination.

Liuli is very clear about her own affairs, Baishi can be sure of this.

Whether it was the establishment of the organization or the secret study of chakra and natural energy in a shady form, he had never revealed anything to the top management of Konoha. With a little thought, you can understand that he has no regard for the top management of Konoha... , has no interest in Konoha as a whole.

Shiraishi didn't believe that Liuli couldn't see this. When he was researching the caged bird for Ayane, Liuli also knew about it. What did the caged bird mean? Liuli, who was born in a wealthy family, could understand the profound meaning better than him.

On a small scale, this matter is a family matter of the Hyuga clan, but on a larger scale, it will shake the interests of Konoha.

When it comes to strategic-level bloodline boundaries such as the Byakugan, even Konoha's top brass cannot remain indifferent. Instead, they will step in and interfere with an extremely tough approach.

Liuli, who knew this, must have guessed a long time ago that he would leave Konoha one day.

So, what does she think about leaving Konoha? Or are you waiting for yourself to confess?

But to be honest, Shiraishi didn't know how to confess this matter to Liuli.

I just thought that since they started dating, they often hold hands side by side when walking and shopping. When they are alone at home, they have tried basically everything they can do except sexual things. Hugs and passionate kisses are also accepted as normal.

Getting married and having children together in the future is a perfectly normal thing in the eyes of outsiders.

——But there are still some things that I cannot confess, probably because I am afraid that the other person’s answer will not be what I expected.

It was also because Liuli was too important to him that he seemed so hesitant.

Baishi couldn't help but feel a little entangled in his heart.

"Ah, what a headache..."

When Shiraishi was struggling with these things, a head suddenly appeared on the floor, interrupting Shiraishi's thinking.

The way General Tu appears is always elusive, and he doesn't know when he will appear and startle people.

The things he sent over this time were scrolls. These scrolls were large and small, with a total of more than a dozen.

What is concerning is that every scroll is stained with dust and has half-worn traces. It is obviously an antique of some age.

After delivering these scrolls, General Tu glanced at Shiraishi, then quietly sneaked underground to play with himself.

For him, the entire Uchiha clan and even the underground space of Konoha are a game place for him to have fun and play.

Shiraishi ignored General Toki's childish behavior and picked up one of the scrolls he sent and opened it to read. The contents recorded in it were all related to the sealing technique. It was an important and necessary ancient sealing technique document for the Uzumaki clan.

Among the remnants of the Uzumaki clan who are currently being transported back to the Kingdom of Ghosts, there is an elder who once held a high position in the Uzumaki clan.

When the Uzumaki clan was exterminated, although most of the clan members died in the battle, many people took advantage of the chaos and fled the battlefield with important sealing documents, and this clan elder was one of them.

In order to avoid the loss of these documents, the clan elder sealed these documents in a safe place, and led his clan members to wander around to avoid taking them with them.

He knew very well that the Uzumaki clan was exterminated because they were coveted by other countries.

For the people of the Uzumaki clan, those research documents recording various sealing techniques are more precious than their lives.

That was not only the glory belonging to the Uzumaki clan, but also an important historical component of their clan.

Forgetting the history of a clan is tantamount to betraying the family.

Shiraishi took a quick glance at these scrolls and found that there were various research materials on sealing techniques.

The sealing techniques here involve various aspects, such as soul, body, tailed beast, chakra, etc. You can find relevant words in it for everything you can imagine.

"Is this also a document recording the sealing technique?"

At the end, Shiraishi opened the largest scroll, many times larger than the rest, almost as long as an arm.

After Shiraishi opened it and looked at the content recorded on it, he realized that the text recorded in this huge scroll was different from the other scrolls. What was recorded on it were some finished sealing techniques, not research documents on sealing techniques.

Behind each sealing technique is recorded the name of a Uzumaki clan member, briefly recording their life, as well as the time and place when the technique was developed, and why it was developed.

There was one name that appeared multiple times - Uzumaki Ashina.

Shiraishi felt that the name was a bit familiar, and quickly remembered who this person was.

When I was studying in the ninja school, when I was looking at the historical events at the beginning of the establishment of Konoha Village, the name Uzumaki Ashina came up.

The leader of the Uzumaki clan during the time of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama, he was known as the strongest sealing ninja in the ninja world at that time.

At that time, the Uzumaki clan established diplomatic relations with Konoha, and Uzumaki Ashina taught the sealing techniques he had learned throughout his life to the ninjas of Konoha.

This selfless behavior moved the first Hokage Senju Hashirama at the time, saying that Konoha would always be a friend of the Uzumaki clan, and engraved the Uzumaki clan's mark on the clothing of Konoha's senior officials and Jonin to show this. The two parties will always be good friends and never abandon each other.

Since then, Uzumaki Ashina has been called the 'Founder of Konoha's Sealing Technique' by Konoha ninjas.

It can be said that without Uzumaki Ashina, it would be extremely difficult for Konoha to perfect the sealing system of its own village.

As far as Shiraishi knows, more than 90% of the sealing techniques in Konoha originated from the Uzumaki clan and were brought by Uzumaki Ashina.

Just thinking of the tragic situation of the Uzumaki clan now, Shiraishi expressed his silence and lamented the impermanence of the world.

I wonder if the leader of the Uzumaki clan would crawl out of his grave and be angry to death if he saw that Konoha did not provide any assistance when his family was in trouble.

You must know that the Uzumaki Country where the Uzumaki Clan is located is a neighboring country of the Fire Country. Compared with other countries and ninja villages, the Fire Country and Konoha are the places closest to the Uzumaki Country. The Uzumaki Clan is also in the Fire Country and Konoha. Ye was exterminated right before his eyes.

There may be some special reasons for this that I don't know about.

This part of history is not a good thing for the Uzumaki clan, and Shiraishi is not interested in exposing people's shortcomings.

After all, the Uzumaki clan is now an organized collective.

Shiraishi didn't feel ashamed that the Uzumaki clan veteran was willing to contribute these sealing techniques.

He also sacrificed a lot, taking great risks to take in their clan, giving them a stable living and educational environment for the young clansmen, and opening up natural energy exercise methods to them.

"We need to speed up the progress..."

Shiraishi put the scrolls away, muttered to himself, and started walking towards the laboratory.

Don't think about how to confess to Ruri about leaving Konoha for the time being, because there is still some time to stay in Konoha, so there is no need to rush.

The Uzumaki clan's sealing technique documents are what he must overcome now.

They must find what they need as soon as possible. This is related to whether they can retreat smoothly and safely from Konoha. There can be no carelessness.

◎

Year 42 of Konoha, December, winter.

Inadvertently, time always passes quickly. Thinking about it carefully, Shiraishi suddenly realized that it has been almost twelve years since he came to Konoha.

I have met many people and experienced many things here. In twelve years, I have become stronger and more mature, and I have a clearer and more thorough understanding of the entire ninja world.

There hasn't been any action taken in Sand Hidden Village yet, but Shiraishi doesn't feel anxious.

A few months ago, Sunagakure Village secretly raised supplies and placed a huge order with Ziyuanhua Company. Logically speaking, a few months of accumulation time should be enough for Sunagakure Village to mobilize for war, but Zhan did not. occur.

Ordinary people might feel anxious, trying to find out if there was any accident with Sunagakure, but Shiraishi didn't feel this anxious emotion.

The more Sunagakure Village seeks stability at this time, the more relieved Shiraishi feels.

This shows that the Third Kazekage acts steadily and has great intentions, making him a "comrade-in-arms" worthy of his trust.

This time the ninja war against Konoha's mobilization may be much more grand than he expected.

I arrived at the ninja school in the afternoon. Before I reached the door of the office, I saw a girl about twelve years old standing at the door.

She wore a thicker ninja outfit and a scarf around her neck to keep out the cold.

"Senior Shiraishi."

The other party trotted over and addressed Shiraishi respectfully.

This girl is Shizune.

Shiraishi remembered that she had some relatives with Tsunade's deceased boyfriend Kato Danjonin. After Kato Danjonin died, Tsunade took her to his side to raise her.

Although Shizune has graduated from school long ago, Shiraishi can still often see her in school.

Now his position is neither big nor small, and he is also Tsunade's assistant.

He is very talented in medical ninjutsu, and he is expected to become one of the top backbones of Konoha's medical force in the future.

"What, are you the only one here? Tsunade-sensei isn't going to drink again, is she? Or is she at the casino?"

Shiraishi smiled helplessly.

The Sannin can be said to be a quite unique combination.

Shiraishi didn't know very much about Orochimaru, but he often saw Jiraiya at the Konoha bathhouse, making people jump up and down.

Although he is a powerful ninja whose strength is worthy of recognition, in terms of lust, he is simply a pervert on the outside.

Tsunade is a gambler who always loses every bet, and bad things will happen if she wins. He also likes to drink, often to the point where he is so drunk that he cannot walk.

"That's not the case, Shiraishi-senpai. Anbu came over just now and asked Tsunade-sama to go to the Hokage Building. It seems that the Sandaime-sama came to discuss something with Tsunade-sama."

Shizune shook her head and replied.

"That's it."

Shiraishi thought on the spot.

"Well, before Tsunade-sama left, she told me to ask you, Shiraishi-senpai, to take her place in the class. She will come back as soon as possible. This is what I will explain today."

Shizune handed over a notebook that Tsunade had prepared in advance.

After Shiraishi took it, he looked at it briefly and found that it was not difficult. With the 'level' he had shown in Konoha, it would not be noticeable at all.

"Then, please give me some advice, Shiraishi-senpai. I will act as your assistant until Tsunade-sama comes back."

Shizune smiled and bowed seriously to Shiraishi.

"No, I should be the one to say this. Your talent in medical ninjutsu is much better than mine."

Shiraishi scratched his head. This was not a false compliment, but Shizune did have the talent to become an excellent medical ninja. With one-on-one tutoring from top medical ninjas like Tsunade, she would definitely excel in the medical field in the future. Shine brightly.

"Tsunade-sama said that Shiraishi-senpai's foundation is very solid, even better than Tsunade-sama."

Shizune looked at Shiraishi with respect.

She knew that with Tsunade's level of medical ninjutsu, she didn't need any assistants at all, but she took the initiative to ask Shiraishi to be her assistant, which undoubtedly proved that Shiraishi was outstanding in certain aspects.

In terms of teaching the theoretical knowledge of medical ninjutsu, Shiraishi has indeed given Tsunade a lot of help in recent years, and he and Tsunade have trained many medical ninjas.

"I just happen to have some experience with memory."

Shiraishi said modestly.

◎

After the experimental get out of class, Shiraishi took Shizune back to the office and found Tsunade already sitting there.

Seeing Shiraishi and the others coming in, he put down the tea cups in his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you both for your hard work today."

"It doesn't matter. Tsunade-sensei, when did you come back?"

Shiraishi asked first.

"Just now. I saw that get out of class was about to end, so I didn't go to the classroom."

"You left suddenly. Did Mr. Hokage have any important arrangements?"

Shiraishi asked further.

Shizune also looked curious, wanting to know what the Third Hokage wanted to do with Tsunade.

Seeing the curious expressions on the two people's faces, Tsunade sighed helplessly and said, "It's not a big deal, it's about the Kingdom of Ghosts."

"Ghost country?"

Shizune looked surprised.

Shiraishi also raised his eyebrows, his doubtful expression naturally revealed.

"Aster Flower Pharmaceutical Company is willing to share some of their company's drug information with us in Konoha. In exchange for this, they hope to send young people to Konoha to learn medical ninjutsu."

"So that's what happened. I don't think there's anything strange about it."

Shizune tilted her head and said this.

As a medical ninja born and raised in Konoha, Shizune can always feel that Konoha's support for medical ninjas in recent years has a relatively complete framework, which can be said to be unique in the ninja world.

The official company of the neutral country Ghost Country allowed their people to come to Konoha to learn advanced and complete medical ninjutsu in exchange for drug information. No matter how you look at it, this kind of transaction is a normal business cooperation.

"It's nothing surprising. If other countries and Ninja Villages made such a request, I would refuse without hesitation. However, the Country of Demons is a neutral country and has never participated in the Ninja World War. Furthermore, the drug research capabilities of Shionka Company have been greatly improved by the private sector. I have also done some proper research on the feedback, and it is indeed a good exchange."

Tsunade lowered her head and glanced down. The documents on the table were part of Aster Flower Company's drug information.

Just part of it made Tsunade feel that there were very skilled medical ninjas in Shionka Company, and they had extraordinary talents in drug development.

This precious medicinal information cannot be measured by money.

What is here is a living life.

With these things, new drugs can be prepared, which can alleviate a lot of medical pressure in Konoha.

Sharing such valuable medical information with Konoha only resulted in Konoha cultivating a group of medical ninjas for them...

Is it because there is no complete internal medical system structure?

Thinking about it this way, Tsunade felt much relieved.

In today's ninja world, Konoha is the only ninja village with a complete medical system.

Aster Flower Company has its own uniqueness in medicine, but overall, Konoha is stronger. Konoha has no obvious shortcomings and flaws, and its medical development is average and stable. It is indeed suitable for cultivating medical ninjas.

"Tsunade-sensei, are you ready to agree?"

Shiraishi heard that Tsunade was a little loose in her mouth and tested it.

In this regard, Tsunade is the most authoritative person in Konoha.

When it comes to the medical industry, even the Sandaime Hokage has to give in to her.

As long as Tsunade agrees, the rest will fall into place.

Only professionals in the same field can understand how valuable the drug information he asked Shionhua Company to hand over to Konoha was.

"I can't find a reason to refuse. Let's do this. It's almost the end of the semester. In April next year, people from the Demon Country will come to Konoha to learn medical ninjutsu. So before that, I plan to open another school in school. A medical ninja training class, Shiraishi, you can be the teacher of that class and teach the students from the Kingdom of Ghosts."

Tsunade undoubtedly has a high degree of trust in Shiraishi.

"..."

Shiraishi didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Why, don't you want to?"

"...No, it's just that I didn't expect Tsunade-sensei to have such confidence in me."

Shiraishi felt that he deserved it.

"Don't be nervous. With your abilities, I believe you can do your best and won't disappoint me."

Tsunade waved her hand and smiled comfortingly.

Sorry, Tsunade-sensei, I will definitely disappoint you in this matter. Shiraishi sighed in his heart.

Because Shiraishi is not sure whether he will stay in Konoha next April.

War may break out at any time, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow.

Every minute and every second now, Sunagakure may have mobilized a large number of ninjas to attack the Fire Country.

Leaving the ninja school and letting the organization send people to Konoha to learn medical ninjutsu was just a minor episode. Since Tsunade relented, it proved that the matter was settled and there was no need to worry about it anymore.

When we were about to reach our residence, an old man suddenly appeared at the door. Wearing a casual black kimono, his body was a little stooped.

There was an adult man following him. It was not difficult to see that the mature man next to him had the strength of a Jonin and was obviously the old man's bodyguard.

Both of them bear the Uchiha clan's Uchiha fan mark.

Baishi walked over calmly, and just as he was about to ask, the old man turned around, revealing an old but kind-hearted face.

"You must be Liuli's boyfriend."

He spoke in an affirmative tone.

"Yes. Are you..."

Shiraishi was a little reserved.

"I am Uchiha Shifang. I once taught Ruri some ninja skills, and I am considered her half-teacher. Since you are Ruri's lover, just call me Sifang Elder like her, and there is no need to tell others."

"Okay, Elder Sifang, I will be disrespectful. But unfortunately, Liuli is not at home now. Would you like to come in and sit down and have a cup of tea before leaving?"

Shiraishi dealt with it carefully.

Shiraishi couldn't bear the slightly hot and approving gaze.

I always feel that this Uchiha clan elder is too enthusiastic towards me.

Is it because of Liuli? Love the house and the bird?

"That's nagging."

Uchiha's square face was covered with wrinkles, but his smile became more and more friendly, giving him the image of a kind and kind grandfather.
