Escape From Konoha

Outside the wooden house, the red-haired woman stood on the snow. She seemed to have noticed something. She turned her head slightly and looked in one direction. From the snow, a black shadow suddenly jumped out and rushed towards her.

“I didn’t expect that a fish that slipped through the net would break through the defense line.”

The red-haired woman formed a seal with one hand in front of her, and a golden light immediately shot out from behind. It was a slender golden chain, like a long snake, tearing the air and flying towards the attacker.

The attacker picked up the ninja sword and slashed at the golden chain, making a harsh friction sound.

But before the attacker could be happy, the chains immediately changed direction and stabbed around him, tying him up with a knife.

"Damn! What is this? Body..."

The attacker who fell on the snow kept struggling, trying to break free from the golden chains that bound his body.

But what made him despair was that no matter how hard he struggled, the golden chains remained motionless around his body, and the more he struggled, the tighter they became.

"It's useless. This is a chakra chain specially used to bind tailed beasts. It has a powerful sealing effect, but you will never be able to break it free with your strength."

The red-haired woman walked over from the snow and replied lightly.

Although the chakra chains created by her 'King Kong Blockade' technique are far from being able to restrain tailed beasts, they are invincible against ordinary ninjas.

Coupled with the special nature of the sealing technique, even ninjas who are stronger than her cannot break free in a short time.

"Bind... the tailed beast?"

The attacker was startled, and then his face turned ugly.

"With your red hair and this extremely sharp sealing technique...could it be said that you are from the Uzumaki clan..."

Before he finished speaking, the chains on his body became tighter and tighter, his face twisted in pain, and blood even flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"There is no need to explain it to you."

The golden chain was pulled, and the attacker could not resist at all, and was dragged directly into the snowy forest by the chain and disappeared.

At first, the vague screams of the attackers could be heard, and then soon fell into a dead silence, mixed with the bloody wind.

Then, the red-haired woman used her thoughts to summon back the blood-stained golden chains in the snow forest, which turned into chakra and flowed into her body before disappearing.

There were still some traces of blood on the snow, proving that a battle had taken place here.

After dealing with the attacker, the red-haired woman was about to return to her post when a voice came from behind:

"Captain Fog."

The spiky-headed boy appeared there and called the red-haired woman's name.

"It seems that all the enemies on your side have been dealt with, Obito."

Uzumaki Kiriko looked at the teenage Uchiha boy in front of her with a slightly surprised expression.

In her perception, the ninjas who launched the attack were all good players. Obito was able to defeat the attacker in a shorter time than the other two team members. It seemed that she had underestimated this unreliable person. The most beautiful Uchiha is young.

"Of course. As long as I use the power of this Mangekyou Sharingan, enemies of this level won't even have room for me to exert my full strength."

"Don't be arrogant just because you have that kind of power. There are many powerful ninjas in this world. When Shiraishi-sama handed you over to me, he warned you not to always rely on the power of that eye. Neither does space-time ninjutsu. Invincible. In the collection of our Uzumaki clan, there is a sealing technique that can limit the time and space ninjutsu."

Kiriko glanced at Obito helplessly.

This kid is still like this, he gets carried away easily.

When encountering ninjas of average strength, the ability of the Mangekyou Sharingan is truly invincible.

But if you encounter an enemy with difficult abilities, you may suffer a lot.

"I don't want to hear what that guy has to say."

Obito dug his ears, but didn't take Captain Kiriko's words to heart.

Then Obito turned his attention to the wooden house and asked Kiriko: "Speaking of which, are the negotiations inside still okay?"

Kiriko shook his head and said: "It can't be so fast. Negotiations take time. After all, this transaction is important to both the Ghost Country and Kirigakure. It cannot be decided hastily."

Obito nodded, agreeing with Kiriko's statement.

The reason why he attached great importance to the negotiations inside the wooden house was because Lin was also inside.

The biggest direct beneficiary of this negotiation with Kirigakure Village is Lin, who has the Seven-Tails in her body.

In order to obtain the tailed beast control technology in the hands of the Fourth Mizukage, Shiraishi took them to the Kingdom of Rainbow and held secret talks with Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage.

Soon, the team members who had just left to stop the attackers from the other two directions came back.

They are all men, older than Obito, probably in their twenties.

They are all jounin secretly trained by the ghost country's military. They have rare and strange secret skills in their hands, and they act together as the bodyguards this time.

After defeating the previous attackers, no one came to cause trouble.

Two hours later, the door of the cabin opened from the inside.

Shiraishi and Yagura walked out of the house, followed by one person each, Lin and Ringo Yuri.

Judging from the expressions on their faces, the negotiation went very smoothly.

Shiraishi got the technology to control the tailed beasts as he wished, and Yagura also received extremely generous rewards from Shiraishi.

With the various supplies obtained from Shiraishi, he could even purchase a new tailed beast.

When it comes to cooperation, it is the so-called win-win situation when both parties are satisfied with the results.

Unilateral dedication and giving cannot maintain the alliance relationship. Both Shiraishi and Yagura know this well.

"Master Shiraishi, the assailants who came to disrupt the negotiations have all been killed."

Uzumaki Kiriko brought Obito and three other team members over.

She is the captain of this team. Except for Obito, she is also a Jonin of the Kingdom of Demons. In the entire military organization, she is also a powerful ninja who can join the elite ranks.

"Thank you for your hard work. Have you confirmed their identities?"

Shiraishi asked.

Wuzi shook her head and replied, "I haven't investigated clearly yet, but their target is undoubtedly Mizukage-sama."

She looked at Yagura.

Shiraishi also looked at Yagura, who shrugged helplessly and said, "Probably a mercenary from the Fierce Light Group."

"Brilliant Light Group?" Shiraishi seemed to have remembered something and said, "I remember that they are a mercenary group operating in the underground black market. They are notorious for assassinating important officials from various countries. How did you get into trouble with these guys?"

"It was probably done by rats in the dark. According to the information I received, the Fierce Light Group seems to have colluded with the remnants of the Blood Mist Sect. It should have been bribed by the remnants of the Blood Mist Sect with money to come and assassinate me."

Yagura answered nonchalantly.

In fact, if it hadn't been for the ninjas from the Fierce Light Regiment attacking him this time, he would have almost forgotten that this happened.

Because in the underground black market, the strength of the Lieguang Group can only be said to be average, not particularly outstanding.

A group of guys who are greedy for money, in order to get huge rewards, they don't even understand the strength of both parties.

"Your whereabouts have been tracked. It's better to be careful. I don't want to hear the news that you died suddenly one day."

"When I get back, I'll kill these guys."

Yagura nodded.

The remnants of the Blood Mist Sect did not pose a threat, but if they were left alone, it would really disgust him.

Especially if you come here to disgust him, you should eliminate him as soon as possible.

"Would you like me to recommend you a mercenary group in the underground black market?"

Shiraishi smiled and asked Yagura's opinion.

"oh?"

"Since the remnants of the Blood Mist Sect hire mercenaries from the underground black market, they should treat others in their own way and use mercenary groups to deal with mercenary groups. They are experts in this field and will never let you down."

"tell me the story."

"Xuan Yuan Zhong."

"Xuan Yuzhong? Were you once assisting Iwagakure in dealing with Konoha's underground black market mercenaries? I didn't expect your hands to reach so far."

Yagura was slightly speechless.

Shiraishi recommended the Xuan Yuzhong to him, and it was obvious that the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Xuan Yuzhong had some unknown relationship.

According to his understanding of Shiraishi, the so-called "ninja hunting ninjas" - Xuan Yuzhong, is a mercenary group supported by the military of the Kingdom of Demons.

"It's called being prepared. They're great at dealing with people and things that I can't handle."

"No problem. I will try to contact them. I don't have time to deal with such trivial matters."

Yagura nodded in agreement.

His main focus now is on the construction of Wuyin Village. The remnants of the Blood Mist Sect and the threats from the underground black market will be dealt with by specialized personnel.

To deal with the mercenary group hired by the remnants of the Blood Mist Sect, it is just right to use the Xuan Yuanzhong to deal with them.

"Then it's settled. I look forward to our next cooperation."

Shiraishi stretched out his hand.

Yagura also stretched out his hand and held Shiraishi's palm.

"Well, I look forward to our next cooperation."

Yagura nodded, let go of his hand, turned around and left along the path with Lin Yuri, and their figures quickly disappeared in the wind and snow.

Shiraishi watched the two of them leave, looked at Kiroko and the others and said, "Let's go too. If we can make it in time, we can probably get back to the Kingdom of Ghosts tomorrow morning."

"yes."

The figures of several people were quickly lost in the wind and snow.

The so-called perfect jinchuriki is a jinchuriki who perfectly masters the power of the tailed beast.

Before coming into contact with Yagura, this was Shiraishi's usual thought.

In fact, there is nothing wrong in principle with this idea.

But the key is that the true meaning of the word 'master' is different from what Shiraishi understands.

Before, Shiraishi had always thought that the jinchuriki and the tailed beasts had an understanding, and that the jinchuriki could become the perfect jinchuriki by enduring all the darkness of the tailed beasts and being honest with the tailed beasts... Actually, this was a wrong conclusion.

Accepting the darkness of the tailed beast, understanding the pain of the tailed beast, and the jinchuriki showing a strong and broad mind... This is indeed an important part of the perfect jinchuriki's training, but it is not enough to do this alone.

In the information given by Yagura, it was pointed out that there are two most important links in becoming a perfect Jinchuuriki.

First, tailed beasts will not easily recognize humans.

You can't convince them with words.

The tailed beast must have the powerful power to steal chakra from the tailed beast before the tailed beast will take the Jinchūriki seriously.

If you don't even accomplish the task of capturing chakra, but resort to other crooked ways to make the power of the tailed beast your own, the tailed beast will just sneer at this method.

In other words, the first condition for becoming a perfect jinchūriki is to seize chakra from the tailed beast and use this power to defeat the tailed beast.

Only jinchūriki will be recognized by the tailed beasts.

Only in this way will the tailed beasts become honest and face up to their status as jinchūriki.

Next, the second point is to resonate with the tailed beast's heart, that is, to open one's body and mind to the tailed beast. In the same way, the tailed beast also needs to open one's body and mind to become 'one'.

This is the entire process of completing the Perfect Jinchuuriki.

There are only two steps -

Defeat the Tailed Beast.

Become indistinguishable friends with the tailed beast.

“It’s really a simple and easy-to-understand method.”

After reading the information about the perfect Jinchuuriki provided by Yagura, Shiraishi sighed with emotion.

It was completely different from the perfect Jinchuuriki he had originally expected.

The perfect jinchuriki is not just about becoming friends with the tailed beasts, it is also crucial to capture the power of the tailed beasts and defeat them.

If you just become friends with the tailed beast, but do not have the ability to capture the tailed beast's chakra, and use this power to defeat the tailed beast itself, even if you get the approval of the tailed beast, the power of the tailed beast will not be controlled by the jinchūriki. There is no way to become a perfect Jinchuuriki.

The consequence is that when using the tailed beast's power, the body will still be injured by the tailed beast's chakra.

For the same reason, if you only succumb to the tailed beast in terms of strength, but do not connect with the tailed beast's mind, you will not be able to become a perfect Jinchuuriki.

The true perfect Jinchuuriki is one who possesses the two talents of strength and love.

Only in this way can the negative effects of tailed beast chakra be ignored when using tailed beast chakra, and even the benefits that tailed beast chakra brings to jinchūriki will be unimaginably powerful.

"Yes, this can be regarded as solving a doubt in my mind."

Lin also smiled bitterly after reading this information.

She also knew why Nanao in her body always ignored her.

I want to get Nanao's approval, so I have always used words to admonish him.

This approach was wrong from the start.

The correct step should be to first subdue the tailed beast with strength, and then connect with the tailed beast's mind.

A ninja like her who directly transitioned to the second stage without completing the first stage of strength test was the fundamental reason why Nanao ignored her.

Think about it, every tailed beast possesses power far beyond that of ordinary ninjas. It has been regarded as a symbol of natural disasters since ancient times. It is too outrageous to convince the other party with just words.

Therefore... when getting along with tailed beasts, the principle of fists is also a link that cannot be ignored.

"To put it simply, the method is to give the opponent a mallet first, and then give the opponent a sweet date. If you conquer the body of the tailed beast in terms of strength, and the mind of the tailed beast in terms of will, you can become a perfect Jinchuuriki."

Shiraishi also nodded and said with a smile.

"Just how to get power from the tailed beast?"

In terms of pure strength, Lin felt that no matter how hard she practiced, she would never be able to defeat Nanao head-on.

But the practice of perfect Jinchūriki does not require this, but proposes the concept of 'capturing the tailed beast's chakra and defeating the tailed beast'.

Even so, Lin didn't know what to do.

"This is not a problem. This scroll records a forbidden technique developed by Yagura, which can help you complete the training of a perfect Jinchuuriki."

Shiraishi took out a scroll, which he got from Yagura.

He unfolded the scroll, and the name of the technique was written in the first column - the Jutsu of Satomi Satomi.

The effect of this technique is very strange. It can open up a strange spiritual space in the body of the user, where the spirits of the jinchūriki and the tailed beasts can be honest with each other.

In this spiritual space, the jinchuriki can ignore all obstacles and plunder the power of the tailed beasts as much as they want. The tailed beasts can also break through the shackles of the seal and attack the jinchuriki itself.

The most important thing is that this technique can close the mental space in time when the jinchuriki is defeated by the tailed beast.

He tried his best to protect the life safety of the jinchuriki.

"This technique..."

Lin picked up the scroll and looked at it, and found that the content of the technique was very obscure.

It was a bit more unfamiliar than the spiritual transformation technique that Shiraishi taught her.

"Yakura probably used this technique to first conquer the tailed beast in terms of strength, and finally connected with the tailed beast. If you want to become a perfect Jinchuuriki, you must also go through this process."

"Understood."

Lin nodded and did not refuse.

However, it was impossible for her to directly practice the perfect Jinchūriki in a short period of time.

Because the difficulty of practicing the Jutsu of Satomi is undoubtedly the same as the Jutsu of Spiritual Transformation, and it is an extremely rare S-level forbidden technique.

It is a forbidden technique, which means that there is actually a certain risk when performing this technique.

That is, when fighting a tailed beast in the mental space, if the injury is serious or the spell is not interrupted in time, the spirit may collapse and become a vegetative state that cannot wake up, or even death may occur.

Therefore, when using this technique to practice the perfect Jinchuuriki, you must take various precautions and deal with them carefully.

The perfect Jinchuuriki is indeed tempting, but the risks of the technique cannot be ignored.

"How long do you think it will take to master this technique?"

Shiraishi asked.

Lin thought about it and answered: "Three months to half a year."

"In that case, then practice hard and leave the lab to me for the time being. Your task now is to learn this technique as quickly as possible to prepare for becoming a perfect Jinchuuriki. If there is anything you don't understand, you can always ask I."

"Then I'll take my leave, Mr. Shiraishi."

Lin took the scroll of forbidden arts and walked outside the laboratory.

Konoha 49, March.

The spring breeze blows across the earth, bringing new life.

"The Valley of Hypocrisy?"

Located in a town in the forest country, the group of five insect men from Xuan Yuanzhong is gathering in a hotel.

From Tu Nan's mouth, I learned about a relatively unfamiliar place - the Valley of Hypocrisy.

"What is that place?"

With his hands in his pockets, the shadow man leaning against the wall asked aloud.

"It seems to be a place called 'Pure Land'."

Tu Nan responded to Shadow Nan's question.

"Pure Land? Is there such a place in this ninja world?"

Water Man frowned slightly.

He had never heard of such a place exist.

In this ninja world, the places that can be called "pure land" are basically only marginalized small countries.

The closer to the center of the ninja world, the fiercer the war.

"That's what the intelligence calls it. But in the intelligence system of the Kingdom of Ghosts, there is no such place included. The remnants of the Blood Mist Sect seem to be hiding inside."

More than two months ago, they received an order from the military of the Kingdom of Demons - to assist Yagura, the fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure, to annihilate the remnants of the Blood Mist Sect who escaped from Kirigakure Village on the day of the coup.

For more than two months, the five of them have been cooperating with Kirigakure ninjas and chasing down the remnants of the Blood Mist Sect.

Including the underground black market mercenaries hired by the remnants of the Blood Mist faction—the Lieguang Group, they were also destroyed in their hands, which added a little prestige to the Xuanyuan people.

After all, the Liangguang Regiment is not a particularly powerful mercenary organization in the underground black market. The remnants of the Blood Mist Sect who use money to buy the Liangguang Regiment behind the scenes are their real targets.

"Is there no information coming from Kirigakure?"

"No, they don't seem to know much about the Valley of Hypocrisy."

Tu Nan shook his head, saying that the ninja of Wuyin Village who joined him didn't know what kind of place the Valley of Hypocrisy was.

He searched for a long time through the intelligence agency of the Ghost Kingdom's military, but he only learned that the Valley of Hypocrisy is a place called the 'Pure Land', and he didn't know the rest.

I don’t know which country it is in, and I don’t know how to get there.

"Have the clues been interrupted here? Or should we wait for the remnants of the Blood Mist Sect to come out of the Valley of Hypocrisy before looking for them? As long as they still want to take action against the Fourth Mizukage, they can't stay in that place called the Valley of Hypocrisy. It’s somewhere in the valley.”

Shadow Man suggested.

The rest of the people nodded, this is indeed a solution.

Looking for the so-called valley of hypocrisy without sufficient information is just a waste of time.

Instead of doing this, it is better to wait for the other party to jump out.

As long as the remnants of the Blood Mist Sect still want to seize power from the Fourth Mizukage, they cannot hide forever.

"Brother, what do you think?"

The native man looked at the insect man who was sitting by the bed. He stretched out the middle finger of his right hand and put it in front of his eyes.

A small black insect buzzed in from the window and landed on his middle finger, seemingly conveying some message to the insect man.

"Surveillance bugs? Did you find anything?"

asked the native man.

The insect man's body was transformed by Shiraishi a long time ago to be able to control the bodies of various insects.

She has similar abilities to the Konoha Aburame clan, but in some abilities, she surpasses them.

That is, the bugs he uses are all types that are difficult to defend against.

Such as the blasting bugs used when attacking enemies.

For example, surveillance bugs used during searches.

Another example is bugs with other uses, which have rich and colorful abilities and can cope with various environments and enemies.

Insect Man put away the surveillance bugs, stood up from the bed, and said to the four people: "An old friend seems to have come to this small town. If it is him, he should know the information about the Valley of Hypocrisy. After all, In this ninja world, there are few ninjas with more experience than him."

It could be heard that the insect man admired this person very much, and he answered in the tone of an acquaintance. The four native men immediately thought of who that person was.

The Immortal - Kakuzu.
