Escape From Konoha

Hospitals, pharmaceutical research institutes.

The medical ninjas headed by Asami Masumi were working in it. In the operating room behind, separated by a piece of transparent glass, there were four adult men and women wearing Konoha ninja uniforms, lying motionless on the operating table, cooperating with the medical staff next to them. Ninjas conduct drug experiments.

Taking the test form, Asami Masumi squinted her eyes slightly. It seemed that her eyes were a little sore and there were dark circles around her eyes, but it was not very obvious under the cover of the frame.

"The effect is good. If we work harder, we can analyze the characteristics of the poison."

"Yes, Director Asami."

The medical ninja who came to report the test results was also excited. Although, like Asami Masumi, the muscles on her face were a little loose because she hadn't had a good rest for many days, and there were also obvious signs of dark circles, it also proved the analysis here. The work is well underway.

With Miaomushan's support, the drug research process has indeed gone much smoother. In addition, Miaomushan's magic can detoxify the experimental targets on the operating table, preventing those Konoha ninjas who voluntarily participate in drug experiments from losing their chakra for a lifetime and no longer being able to be ninjas.

"Everyone is very tired these days. Let's take a rest today and get off work early. Just leave a few people to work here with me later."

Asami Masumi took off her glasses, rubbed her sore eyes, and then put them back on.

Really, it is really a troublesome thing to guide this group of people to act according to their own plans.

However, we have already lured out the Immortal from Mt. Miaomu, so if we don’t bother with it any more, we have accomplished the task.

"Understood, I will order you to go down. But, won't Director Asami go back and rest?"

"No need, my body can still hold on. And I'm the person in charge here, so I can't leave easily. There happens to be a resting place here, although it's full of the smell of disinfectant."

The medical ninja also nodded and looked at Asami Masumi with some admiration.

"Go down."

Asami Masumi waved her hand.

The medical ninja turned and left to convey Asami Masumi's order.

Later, Asami Masumi took out a talisman. There were a large number of incantations of unknown meaning painted around the talisman, and there was a very obvious word "immortal" engraved in the middle.

This talisman is a talisman temporarily given to her by Fukasaku Sennin of Mt. Myoboku.

However, according to Fukasaku Sennin, this Immortal Talisman is not the original Immortal Talisman, but a pseudo Immortal Talisman.

Although it is a replica, it is said to have very powerful functions.

It can expel all kinds of poisons in the ninja world, and also has the effect of recovering injuries. It is a magic tool that combines the essence of Mt. Myoki.

After the research is completed, the talisman must be returned to its original owner.

After looking at it for a few times, Asami Masumi carefully stuffed the False Immortal Talisman into her ninja bag and put it away carefully.

If she accidentally throws this thing away, even she will be suspected.

Or give her a serious punishment directly, and it is also possible to lose the position of director of the pharmacy department.

After all, there were more Anbu around the hospital than usual.

But Anbu has already suspected this... no, it has been suspected for a long time, but there is no suitable opportunity to come and clean it up, and it is still under surveillance.

This research task is a good introduction.

It's really troublesome. Asami Masumi sighed inwardly.

She was really less good at spying than treating patients, and she didn't really like this type of work at all.

However, fortunately, she is not in Kakashi's position, wandering between the Third Hokage, Danzo, Orochimaru and Oni Country. In the past, she also worked for the Fourth Hokage. If you think about it carefully, if you were yourself, you might have gone insane.

◎

At night.

The atmosphere in the hospital became somewhat deserted. In the corridor, only the bright incandescent lights were still on, and the sound of a person walking became extremely clear.

Holding a water glass full of drinking hot water in her hand, Asami Masumi wore a warm white coat and walked slowly towards the lounge where she was.

For a while, she had been doing high-intensity work both during the day and at night. Now that the research work had made progress, she could relax a little.

It will take about three days for the pseudo-immortal talisman to decipher the secrets of immortality in it.

In terms of time, it is completely sufficient.

As for Anbu's investigation, this was beyond her consideration.

If she is really suspected, or if she is arrested, Kakashi will remind her to leave one step in advance.

As for those subordinates.

Except for Haruno Zhao and a few contacts, no one else knew her true identity.

And in the bodies of those few people, she kept a little something, as long as they were invited by Anbu, then she would decisively evacuate Konoha.

For a worker like her who is doing spy missions in the enemy's base camp, although she can't relax her vigilance, too much vigilance will also cause more trouble.

Even though the research institute may be full of Abu's eyesight, as long as he maintains a normal mind, there will be no problem.

As long as it is not a ninja of the level of Sannin who personally leads the team and adopts the method of breaking through, there is a very high probability of leaving Konoha.

Any self-confidence is based on one's own strength.

After all, she quite liked this position as director of the pharmacy department.

If you are promoted to dean, you will be very busy.

With these boring things in his mind, Asami Masumi finally walked to the door of her lounge.

She grabbed the door handle as usual, and suddenly, a slight sound reached her ears. Although it was very light, she still heard it in such a silent corridor.

Without hesitation, she stepped back.

boom!

The lounge door exploded from within.

After the door exploded, countless sharp fragments flew away and stabbed Asami Masumi's body.

In response to this sudden attack, Asami Masumi flashed to her side, rolled her body, and barely dodged.

But the cup filled with drinking hot water fell out of his hand and rolled away along the corridor floor.

Asami Masumi didn't have time to pay attention to this. Although in order to avoid being noticed, she chose to open the door and dodge backwards after noticing the chakra of the abnormal person. However, the person who attacked her was obviously not her side. of.

She had no intention of directing or acting in such a boring drama.

For Ghost Country, as long as she is not caught at the hospital, nothing is a problem.

Therefore, making noise to confuse the public is just unnecessary and may even make you angry.

Especially those in the Anbu, those people are more sensitive than the Anbu's nose in catching spies in the village.

If Danzo noticed, even the slightest suspicion could lead to endless trouble.

Since he is not one of our own, where is he from?

dawn? Orochimaru? Or... the ninjas from the other ninja villages?

The black shadow appeared silently behind Asami Masumi. It had been waiting there for a long time, with ferocious anger flashing in its eyes. It swung a fist as hard as steel and hit Asami Masumi on the back.

Hit the air.

Taking advantage of his dexterity, he narrowly dodged the attack.

Black Shadow was not surprised. The other party was also the director of the pharmacy department of the hospital, and he was promoted from special jounin to jounin a year ago. If he killed a jounin so easily, he would be looking down upon the jounin. class strength.

However, his goal is not to kill the other party, he just needs to get the Sage Talisman in her ninja tool bag.

Rushing over at lightning speed, this time it was a vicious leg sweep.

Asami Masumi only had to block with her arms.

boom!

His body flew backwards and hit a hole in the wall. Asami Masumi couldn't help coughing and spitting out blood.

His face, which was already a little pale due to overwork, suddenly turned even paler.

But his eyes were fixed on the attacker who was attacking him.

With the help of the light, he finally saw the true face of the attacker.

Wearing the same white coat as hers, it was clear that he was also a worker in the hospital.

But something was wrong with his body. His white coat seemed to be specially supported by the swollen muscles of his body, making it bulging.

Looking at the man in front of him who looked like a tall iron tower, coupled with the completely abnormal chakra in his body, a gleam flashed in Asami Masumi's eyes.

The opponent didn't talk nonsense. Seeing that Asami Masumi was injured, he planned to pursue the victory.

Suddenly, I heard a sizzling sound.

His pupils shrank and he looked at his calf.

At some point, a burning detonating talisman was posted there.

boom!

In the flames of the explosion, the body rolled out.

"You...you stinky bitch..."

The man with bulging muscles twisted his face in agony, looked at his calf that was already covered in blood, gritted his teeth and stared at Asami Masumi who slowly stood up.

"It is bad behavior to insult women casually, Dr. Dashan."

Asami Masumi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said still coughing.

The man in front of me is called Dashan Shun.

She is an inconspicuous employee in the pharmacy department she manages.

However, due to his cautious and careful personality and his excellent medical ninjutsu, he also participated in this research work.

But now it seems that this guy, like himself, seems to have some identity problems.

"Shut up!"

Dashan Shun gave a low shout and continued to rush towards Asami Masumi as if nothing was wrong.

But this time, before he even got close to Asami Masumi, there was a chilling chill in the air.

"Wood Release: Thorn Killing Technique!"

On the other side of the corridor, only trees with roots as thick as rattan were seen flying like long snakes, wrapping around Dashanshun's body.

Dashan naturally would not let these trees wrap around his body. After dodging the rattan-like trees, he bent his arms and struck the wall fiercely with his elbow.

boom!

The entire wall collapsed, kicking up a lot of dust and spreading it in the corridor.

When the dust dissipated, Dashanshun's figure also disappeared from the hole in the wall.

Four Anbu appeared next to Asami Masumi, the leader was Tenzo. He glanced at Asami Masumi and found that the other person was injured, so he asked: "Are you okay?"

"It's nothing serious. Just take a rest and you'll be fine. I don't need to worry about it. The opponent's calf was injured by me and he shouldn't be able to run far."

Asami Masumi expressed that she was fine.

"Don't worry over there. The minister has already gone to chase you personally. Our mission is to protect you."

Tianzang said.

"Really? Do you know the other party's identity?"

The so-called identity is, of course, not the identity of Oyama Shun serving in Konoha, but which party he is from.

Asami Masumi knew that Jun Oyama was not a spy planted in Konoha by the Kingdom of Demons. Behind him, he represented another force.

Tianzang said vaguely: "It hasn't been investigated yet, but as long as we catch him, the question will be solved."

Asami Masumi nodded and said nothing more.

Then ask Kakashi and you will know whose spy that guy is.

However, thinking about Dashan Shun's abnormally muscular body, it was obviously a symptom of taking some kind of strengthening drug.

The somewhat abnormal chakra also gave her a familiar feeling, but she wasn't quite sure.

Because the natural energy is too thin.

It's so thin that you can't even feel it without paying attention.

◎

"Damn it, that stinky woman, she was so close..."

With an irritated click of his tongue, Dashan Shun's muscles began to atrophy and he returned to his normal male figure.

But on the contrary, the aura on his body became sluggish at this moment, and there was deep exhaustion in his eyes.

However, you can't rest at this time, at least you have to go to a safe place to rest.

Now that the mission here has been completed, there is no need to stay in Konoha.

In the dark woods, there was the sound of rustling leaves.

He didn't realize that someone was chasing him from behind, and it seemed that he had gotten rid of those annoying ANBU.

Dashan Shun didn't care about this. He was still very confident in his foot strength.

There was no way those useless ANBU could catch up with him.

At this moment, he suddenly heard soft footsteps coming from behind. He turned around quickly, took out a kunai from his ninja bag, pointed forward, and shouted nervously, "Who!"

From behind the thick trees not far away, a figure slowly walked out.

With the help of the moonlight, the other person had gray-white hair and round-framed glasses. He was a young boy with a gentle smile on his face.

"Senior Dashan, it's me."

After Dashan Shun saw the true face of the visitor, he also breathed a sigh of relief and put down the kunai in his hand.

"It's you, Kabuto. I was worried that you were too scared to come."

"How is it possible? I'm here to take care of you, but it's a task assigned to me by Lord Orochimaru himself."

Kabuto pushed up the mirror frame and smiled gently at Dashan.

"That's good, then, hurry up and arrange for me to leave Konoha. I'm worried that if I stay here too long, I will be caught by the ANBU ninjas."

Although he thinks ANBU are a bunch of trash, if he is found, he will not be able to fight against ANBU now.

The most important thing is that he holds many secrets that cannot be tortured out by ANBU people.

"So, how's the mission going?"

Pocket asked.

Oyama took out a stack of rolled documents from his ninja bag, put it in Kabuto's hand, and explained: "Although I got the research materials, I didn't get the Sage Talisman you mentioned from Asami Masumi. It was snatched from the hands of a stinky woman.”

"Really? That's really a pity."

Kabuto nodded, not surprised.

Asami Masumi is not only a medical ninja, but also a jounin of Konoha. Although he is not sure what kind of ninjutsu he is good at, being promoted to a jounin is definitely not something that ordinary ninjas can deal with.

Even Dashan Shun, who had used strengthening medicine, could only gain a temporary upper hand.

When the ANBU ninja support arrived, they could only retreat and escape.

But whether he could take away the Immortal Talisman, he just held the idea of ​​​​getting the best and giving up if he couldn't get it.

"Come with me. You are very dangerous in Konoha right now. Go outside and take shelter. I will forward this information to Lord Orochimaru, and I will report your achievements truthfully."

pocket said.

"sorry to bother you."

"No, it's not troublesome at all."

Dashan followed Kabuto towards the depths of the dense forest.

After a while, he came to an open space, Kabuto formed a seal with his hands, and the ground moved. A stone slab stood up, revealing a dimly lit secret passage.

Kabuto pointed to the secret passage and said: "This passage leads directly to the forest outside Konoha. You can leave Konoha smoothly by following this secret passage. Then, act quickly. If the ANBU chases me, I will Can't explain it either."

Dashanshun nodded, then walked to the front of the secret passage and took a quick look. It was indeed pitch black, but this was not difficult for a ninja.

"Then, I'm leaving. Please be careful here in Konoha so that your identity is not discovered."

"certainly."

Kabuto smiled and watched Dashanshun walking into the secret passage, and the smile on his face suddenly turned fierce.

Boom!

The ground seemed to shake, and a dull explosion exploded deep underground.

In the dark passage, a fierce fire suddenly appeared, driving away the darkness in the open space.

This intense fire came and went quickly.

Only a moment later, silence and darkness returned to the open space again.

From the exit of the secret passage, white hot smoke was rising.

As for Dashan Shun who entered the secret passage, his body was probably burned clean.

"In this way, the silence will be completely silenced."

Kabuto looked at the secret passage that had regained its composure, and the scalding heat was still coming out. Then, he tilted his eyes back, and the sinister smile on his face stabilized, and he spoke to the figure who appeared behind him at some point:

"You think so, Kakashi-senpai?"

Kakashi, who was standing behind Kabuto, didn't say a word, but calmly looked at Kabuto who turned around slowly.

"There's no need to look at me with such a serious look. After all, Oyama Shun can't be caught by the ANBU. Otherwise, Orochimaru-sama's secrets will be exposed. This guy knows too much."

Kabuto gave his reasons.

"Before this, I didn't know that he was Lord Orochimaru's man."

Kakashi replied.

"This is the scary thing about Orochimaru-sama. I can know the identity of Kakashi-senpai because of my quite lucky luck."

"Accidental?"

Kakashi looked at Kabuto critically.

"Well, quite accidental."

Kabuto answered with a smile, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking.

"What is your purpose? You should have done this in private under the guise of Lord Orochimaru."

Kakashi didn't want to beat around the bush with Kabuto, so he directly asked the other party's purpose.

"I just hope that Kakashi-senpai will treat what happened tonight as an accident. After all, it would be terrible for Orochimaru-sama to be angry."

Dou smiled and said.

"It seems that you also have your own purpose."

Kabuto did not deny this, and the smile on his face faded.

"Yes, it's not just me, but Kakashi-senpai will also feel the same confusion. Being mixed in between these big shots, unable to resist and becoming a pawn for their mutual use... This feeling will make you gradually forget your own reality. Identity... deception, hypocrisy, which one is the real self... In the end, maybe even the most important person will feel that this 'us' is strange..."

The evening wind turned cold and ruffled Kabuto's gray hair.

There is anguish and confusion in his words that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.

But then, he adjusted his mood and said to Kakashi in a serious manner: "So, when I knew the identity of Kakashi-senpai, I felt sincere joy in my heart. There are still people in this world who are just like me. People. Kakashi-senpai, we are the same kind of people, please take more care of us in the future."

Kakashi was expressionless and did not respond to Kabuto's words.

"Why, Kakashi-senpai, do you think I don't have such ability?"

Dou smiled.

"No, your abilities are excellent, whether it's medical ninjutsu or disguise... But for this kind of question that explores the truth of life, it's better to ask Lord Orochimaru."

After Kakashi said this, Kabuto's body stiffened, and a cold gaze came directly from behind, and his face was unnaturally covered in cold sweat.

The snake's head spread over its shoulders, and its tongue licked Kabuto's neck, making Kabuto's eyes suddenly filled with fear and tension.

"Kabuto, I didn't expect you to hide such an interesting thing from me... But compared to Kakashi, you are still a little too young."

A unique magnetic hoarse voice sounded from behind Kabuto.

The cold, slimy nausea felt like being in a snake's den, making Kabuto's body afraid to move rashly, lest he be killed instantly.

"Okay, come with me. I have a task for you. Just leave it to Kakashi. By the way, you should also bring the drug research information. The leader has all the information about Chiba Shiraishi. They all attach great importance to it. And I am equally interested in the poison that can eliminate chakra."

Orochimaru's voice sounded again, chuckling as if he didn't blame Kabuto.

But Kabuto knew that it wasn't that Orochimaru didn't blame him, but that he didn't care at all.

For Orochimaru, there are only two types of subordinates: useful and useless.

As long as he can show enough excellence, as long as he doesn't touch Orochimaru's bottom line, nothing will happen.

Rather, Orochimaru would be interested and looking forward to seeing himself struggling like this.

Kabuto deeply understands this.

He couldn't escape and would be attracted to Orochimaru like this.

In any case, the other party was the one who led him out of the desperate situation.

But because of this, he felt respect and fear for Orochimaru.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

Dou smiled wryly.

Indeed, compared to Kakashi, he seems to be too young.

Maybe it was because I suddenly saw the same kind of people and got too carried away.

He only focused on Kakashi, but forgot about Orochimaru's all-pervasive infiltration ability.

He thought that everything he did was very covert, and as long as he convinced Kakashi, he would not only be able to obtain important information that Orochimaru could not reach, but he could also win over Kakashi as an ally.

But it turns out that every move he makes may be under Orochimaru's observation.

This feeling is really terrible. It seems that I will have to be more honest in the future.
