Escape From Konoha

"What brought you here today, mother-in-law?"

In the reception room outside the laboratory, Shiraishi was entertaining Miyoko Uchiha who suddenly visited him.

He was still a little curious about Miyoko's purpose of finding him.

He knew that Miyoko would not come to disturb his work unless she had something important to talk to him.

And if there is anything important about Miyoko, Shiraishi can only guess that it is related to the Uchiha clan.

However, regarding the arrangements for the Uchiha clan, Ruri, as the clan leader, should have already been looking for someone to arrange it. Uchiha, who has power in all three circles of the Demon Country, including military, government and finance, would not dare to make things difficult in this regard.

"It's not about Uchiha, Shiraishi-chan. I'm here to ask if you and Ruri are planning to have a third child. If the third child is also a boy, that would be great."

Miyoko saw through Shiraishi's thoughts and smiled with some unrealistic fantasy.

"Well……"

Bai Shi was also stunned for a moment, and then became helpless.

"Although I don't care, Liuli seems reluctant to have a third child, and we don't have much energy to raise her now."

"It's a joke, I just said it casually."

Shiraishi didn't know whether Miyoko was really joking or had another agenda, but Shiraishi knew that Miyoko felt a little sorry for Asuka's talent.

Like most traditional Uchiha clan members, they believe that the only way out is to become a ninja.

Miyoko and his wife were forced to become businessmen because of their lack of talent as ninjas. In the traditional concept of the Uchiha clan, this is tantamount to going astray.

"Then let's get down to business."

Miyoko stopped smiling.

Shiraishi also sat up straight, wanting to hear what Miyoko had to say to him.

"I went out this time and met an old friend, and I came across something interesting, so I asked him to get some for me. I suspect it has something to do with the tailed beast."

"Tailed beast?"

Shiraishi was a little puzzled.

"Yes." Miyoko took out two red-coated capsules from her pocket, which were some kind of medicine, and put them on the tea table in front of Shiraishi, and said with a serious expression: "This is it. After taking this medicine, the ninja Something similar to the coat of the tailed beast was formed on the surface of the body, and the chakra tail of the tailed beast also appeared."

Hearing Miyoko's explanation, Shiraishi picked up the two red capsules and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Did it generate the tailed beast's coat and tail?"

"Well, although the color is different from the normal tailed beast chakra, the feeling of berserk is unmistakable."

Shiraishi never doubted Miyoko's vision as a businessman.

When she said this, she must be convinced of something.

"There is indeed a very strange chakra fluctuation, please wait a moment, I will go to the instrument to test it."

After finishing speaking, Shiraishi picked up the capsule and walked towards the laboratory inside to test it with instruments.

Miyoko just nodded and sat quietly on the sofa in the reception room, drinking tea quietly and waiting for Shiraishi's test results.

About ten minutes later, Shiraishi walked out of the laboratory holding two capsules. Compared with his previous expression, his expression was obviously more dignified.

Seeing this, Miyoko knew the results of Shiraishi's instrument test.

The source of the capsules is extraordinary.

"How about it?"

Although she knew the result, Miyoko still had this question.

Shiraishi sighed, and answered Miyoko's words: "As you guessed, this is indeed a strengthening drug synthesized with tailed beast chakra as a raw material. The composition of the drug is a bit complicated, and there are some materials that I don't know. But I estimate that this is not a finished drug, it is not fully developed yet, it is just a semi-finished banned drug."

"Illegal drugs?"

"People who take drugs, if their willpower is weak, will easily be deprived of their reason, causing the chakra in the body to go into a state of rampage. And taking this drug for a long time will also cause great harm to the body, causing blood vessels and internal organs to burst."

To put it simply, for a truly powerful ninja, the improvement of this medicine is almost negligible, but for an average ninja, the increase ability is very objective.

Judging from the original intention of developing the drug, it must be to create a death regiment for war.

Hearing what Shiraishi said, Miyoko thought of the female ninja who had taken this drug in the arena and fell into a runaway state. Although there was no burst of blood vessels and internal organs, her mind was indeed controlled by the powerful Chakra.

"and……"

Having said this, Shiraishi paused for a moment, and a gleam appeared in his eyes.

"A few days ago, Ichihime sent a captive from the country of Wave to the headquarters. There was a very special purple-red chakra left in the body of the other party, which was very similar to the tailed beast chakra. The residue in it , are very similar to some of the substances in this medicine. It can be basically judged that the prisoner sent by Yi Ji has also taken this medicine. "

"The Kingdom of Waves?"

Miyoko knew that Kazuhime was performing missions in the Land of Waves, but she did not expect that this drug was still circulating in such an inconspicuous small country as the Land of Waves.

Shiraishi nodded, and continued to ask Miyoko, "I want to know, who got this medicine from?"

Miyoko did not hide anything, and replied: "I entrusted a friend to get it from the president of Tsuruta Enterprise."

"Tsuruta Corporation? That large international pharmaceutical company?"

Although with the promotion of resource-based pharmaceutical companies, Tsuruta's pharmaceutical industry has been greatly impacted. But even so, Tsuruta Enterprise did not go bankrupt, and its volume is also very large, which is not comparable to ordinary companies.

And that President Tsuruta is also a very well-known big businessman in the Ninja world, and he came from an ancient business family.

The money in his hand is said to be enough to buy a country.

"That's right. But according to my friend, President Tsuruta only bought this medicine from someone else."

"who?"

"President Tsuruta did not disclose the information of his customers, he only said that the source of the medicine is the country of fire."

Medicines come from the Fire Nation.

Hearing this news, Danzo's gloomy and gloomy face immediately appeared in Shiraishi's mind.

This coincides with Yiji's guess.

Although Yiji's guess was just a reasonable guess, there was no real evidence.

But based on the information Miyoko now provides, the client who traded prohibited goods with President Tsuruta is likely to be the root organization led by Danzo.

Although the Sandaime Hokage could not use force to suppress the root, he could use development funds to limit the development of the root.

If the roots want to develop and obtain more development resources, they must seek external forces.

Tsuruta Enterprise may be Danzo's partner.

Of course, all of this is speculation, and Shiraishi can't come up with definite evidence to prove that these medicines come from the root, and the partner of Tsuruta Enterprise is Danzo, the leader of the root.

But sometimes, mere doubt is enough.

What's more, with so many tails displayed behind the drug, there were enough arguments for him to make such a reasonable conjecture.

"I probably know the situation, but, the president of Tsuruta Enterprise, what do you want to do with this banned strengthening drug? If you want to train private soldiers, this drug is not the best choice."

Shiraishi analyzed in this way.

He didn't believe that the president of a multinational company could not figure out such a thing.

Although this drug can indeed enhance the combat effectiveness of ninjas, from a long-term perspective, this is not a very smart choice.

That President Tsuruta would not kill the goose to obtain the egg.

Miyoko had a look of disgust on her face at this time and explained: "For the so-called face."

"face?"

"Xiao Baishi, you should know. In this world, there are businessmen like us who follow the normal path, but there are also many evil businessmen who don't follow the rules. They are sanctimonious on the surface, but they are constantly involved in various illegal activities behind the scenes. To make profit from this.”

Even if Miyoko didn't point it out deliberately, Shiraishi knew something about it.

In this ninja world, those who often hire ninjas to do things are businessmen and officials.

In particular, tasks above C level are basically high-level tasks that ordinary civilians cannot touch. Only wealthy and powerful businessmen and officials are qualified and capable of entrusting them.

Although the businessmen Shiraishi had the most contact with were righteous businessmen like Miyoko who made money through formal means, it did not prevent him from not knowing that in the dark of the ninja world, there were more evil businessmen who were making money illegally.

It's just that for ordinary people, that kind of world is simply out of their reach, and they have never heard of it.

Once in contact with it, it will either be assimilated or evaporated from the world.

"There is such a place in the ninja world. It is an unnamed isolated island on the sea. It is shrouded in thick fog all the year round and is not marked on the map. It seems to be a piece of world that has been erased from the ninja world. It is said that there You can buy everything you want, as long as you can afford it. Whether it is people or things, you can sell them, and the connections and resources there are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.”

Miyoko spoke eloquently.

After hearing this, Bai Shi's eyes flashed.

He has also heard of this place.

It was a three-way zone that was not governed by any law, and order was maintained by businessmen and officials behind the scenes.

There is no mark on the map, and the isolated island has no name, and a specific person needs to be guided to enter.

People who go in and out of there are either rich or noble.

But it is not true that there are no poor people in an absolute sense.

Because it is legal to trade human beings there, there are slaves who are not even poor.

The pornography, gambling and drug industry also falls within the legal scope.

Relying on the support of many officials, the merchant alliance there has no scruples to build it into a paradise in their own minds.

Many officials regard it as a vacation spot.

Whether it is money or stunning beauty, there is everything there.

But because of this, there are so many businessmen and officials who believe in hedonism.

In short, it is an extrajudicial place that makes normal people feel disgusted in all aspects.

"Then, President Tsuruta..."

"There is a place called the Ninja Colosseum. Businessmen let their subordinate ninjas fight on the field. The winning side can obtain the right to use the opponent's ninja, which is valid for life. Many businessmen like this kind of 'trading' ninjas President Tsuruta is no exception. President Tsuruta used this strengthening drug in order to make his ninjas win."

Just win and save face for him.

As for the life of the ninja, that President Tsuruta was not in his consideration.

For a big shot like him, as long as he has money, there will definitely be ninjas who will sacrifice their lives for him.

"Tsk, is this a peculiar hobby of rich people?"

Shiraishi gained new insights into the special hobbies of rich people.

Treating ninjas as slaves and fighting tools for entertainment is really a disgusting idea that those people can come up with.

"I don't have such disgusting tastes, Xiao Baishi."

Miyoko looked at Shiraishi with slight dissatisfaction.

"I'm not talking about you, my mother-in-law. Speaking of which, in the past, my mother-in-law asked me to take in a blood-successor ninja of unknown origin. Could it be that..."

Shiraishi remembered something.

"Well, it was at that place. I bought it from an old friend. He has a certain connection with our Uchiha clan, and my friend must be a good person with some special hobbies."

Miyoko commented so.

"oh?"

"Omonojo En, you should have heard of his name."

Miyoko revealed the identity of the other party.

"The Merchant of Death? I have indeed heard of his name, but I don't know about his connection with the Uchiha clan."

Omonojo Yan has a very good reputation in the business world.

The other party is the leading weapons supplier in the ninja world, and is known as the 'Merchant of Death'. As long as the money is paid, the weapon will be sold to anyone.

But he didn't expect that Miyoko would have a behind-the-scenes relationship with such a dangerous businessman.

To be able to establish a stable business channel with Miyoko and provide the Demon Country's military with talented or qualified ninjas, the relationship between them cannot be explained clearly in a few words.

"Don't say it's you, even Liuli doesn't know about this. The cause of the matter may be traced back to before the establishment of Konoha. But I am not here today to popularize history. I will have detailed information sent over later. . Now that the matter is over, I leave it to you to handle it, Xiao Baishi. Fighting and killing is not my area of ​​expertise."

Miyoko stood up from the sofa and prepared to leave.

"Please wait a moment."

Shiraishi called Miyoko to stop.

"Is there anything else?"

"I want to send someone to that isolated island to collect information. I'm a little concerned about the source of that drug. Mother-in-law, can you let Omonojo Yan cover their identity for them and do things conveniently there?"

Shiraishi asked.

Miyoko thought for a while and said: "No problem, I will ask Oya Castle to help with this matter. But please don't let your people mess around in that kind of place. There are many national interests involved in that place. If you take action there, There will be many more countries in the world that are hostile to the Demon Country. The businessmen and officials there are all famous figures in the ninja world."

Miyoko was deeply afraid that Shiraishi would cause chaos there.

If it were anyone else, she might not think so.

But Shiraishi had even defeated the Kingdom of Wind. Miyoko couldn't think of anything in this ninja world that Shiraishi was afraid of.

Although the connections and resources on that isolated island were huge, they were not as large as those of a large country like the Kingdom of Wind.

It’s just that there is no need for the Kingdom of Ghosts to make enemies internationally.

Moreover, such a place outside the law is very difficult to eradicate.

The most important thing is that getting rid of such a place will not bring any benefits except provoking more enemies.

"Don't worry, as long as they don't mess around first, I will definitely not mess around. I like to talk to others about the rules. I just want to know who these drugs came from. I have no interest in that isolated island."

Shiraishi promised.

Miyoko was slightly speechless, but it was difficult to say anything. She hoped that Shiraishi would be more honest recently. Too many people are now focusing on the kingdom of ghosts.

Before the war with the Land of Winds, she was always terrified. If they lose the battle, the foundation of the Uchiha clan's final rise will also be lost. If they really choose to hide their names in the ninja world, they will live a precarious life of fleeing.

◎

Reinforcements arrived sooner than Ichiji imagined.

A total of sixty heavily armed ninjas bypassed the pirate forces in the waters of Wave Country and secretly sneaked into the cruise ship at the port to hide.

This number may seem small, but during non-war times, dozens of fully armed ninja forces are already considered a considerable force.

Furthermore, Ichihime's purpose here was not to start a war with Konoha, but to nip it in the bud, so she had to request reinforcements from the headquarters of the Demon Country.

In addition, there is a personal letter written by Shiraishi to her.

There are also some clues in the investigation of some things.

Two things were mentioned above.

The prisoner sent to the Kingdom of Demons had an abnormal chakra in his body that was indeed closely related to the tailed beasts, but the mastermind behind the scenes was ominous. The other party did not have any memories of before he got the medicine, and his memory was maliciously erased.

Another incident is related to her grandmother Miyoko. On an unnamed island in the sea, a similar drug is flowing. Using the tailed beast chakra as a raw material, illegal enhancement drugs were maliciously abused and manufactured, which is related to the Land of Fire.

Therefore, the suspicion that the illegal drugs that allow people to obtain tailed beast chakra came from the hands of Nebe and Danzo is even greater.

He has the ability to contact the tailed beasts, and the drugs come from within the Land of Fire, so he can easily narrow down the scope of suspicion.

Among them, Danzo is the most suspected.

But there is no concrete evidence, so this cannot be confirmed.

After reading the contents of the letter, Yiji did not expect that there was such a big involvement behind the matter.

Ichiji knows this place.

In the darkness of the ninja world, there is such a lawless zone.

A large number of merchants and officials jointly managed the land.

There is no trace of that isolated island on the map of the ninja world, and its existence was deliberately erased.

It is said that as long as you have money, you can buy anything there.

Of course, this statement is a bit exaggerated. For example, tailed beasts cannot be purchased from there, and those merchants and officials do not have the ability to sell tailed beasts.

There are many more things that the island cannot touch.

But it is undeniable that the network of people on that nameless island is indeed huge.

In the ninja world, money is not everything, but a lot of money can buy a lot of things you want.

All kinds of evil desires breed there, and insiders call it a paradise-like existence.

Yiji felt scornful of this.

It's just a trick to spend money to ward off disasters. For that kind of place to exist, it must be a lot of money to bribe officials from various countries every year.

Only in this way can that kind of place be maintained to this day without being ruined.

"That isolated island is some distance away from the Country of Waves. There is a large sea area in between, and there are several countries... but it turns out that they are all related to illegal drugs that can explode the chakra of tailed beasts."

Yi Ji sat there and thought.

Soon, she remembered that in the towns of the Country of Waves, there were many special shops involved in the pornography, gambling and drug industry, and a large number of gangsters to protect them. The forces behind them had always been a doubt that troubled her.

If the forces behind these industries come from businessmen on that nameless island, then many unclear things can be explained.

The country of waves...the isolated island...

Thinking of this, Yiji was suddenly shocked.

Because Yi Ji thought that the country of Waves was also an isolated island with a small area and a relatively closed geographical environment. Apart from boats, there was no channel to communicate with the outside world.

In addition, it was blocked by pirate forces, but the Fire Country did not react at all.

This is so strange.

The Kingdom of Waves is not far from the Kingdom of Fire. The Kingdom of Fire is facing the Kingdom of Water. It is the most important outpost and has great strategic significance.

It is not strange for the Fire Nation to directly invade and capture a place like this and exercise real power over the Wave Nation.

As a result, the Fire Nation turned a blind eye to this, as if it did not realize the difficulties faced by the Wave Nation.

Such a thing is simply impossible.

If the Fire Nation is really so slow to respond, then the Fire Nation is no longer the leader of the five major nations and has long been replaced by the other major nations.

Is this intentional laissez-faire...or is it that some officials of the Fire Nation were bribed by businessmen with money...or is it that the top brass of the Fire Nation are plotting some plan against the Land of Waves?

These may all exist.

The only thing I know is that the Fire Country has a full understanding of the internal situation in the Wave Country, rather than knowing nothing about it.

"The isolated island...it seems necessary to go there and investigate some things."

If she doesn't figure out the truth of the matter, she will appear very passive when faced with the Fire Nation's next attack.

It is not known whether the roots of Konoha are involved. In short, all the situations are unknown now. If you want to gain greater initiative in the next actions, you must find a way to figure out the situation on the isolated island.

Is there support from isolated island businessmen behind the scenes of the illegal industry in the Country of Waves?

Whether they had reached a secret agreement with the top management of the Country of Fire, these matters needed to be investigated personally by her as the person in charge.

As for Shiraishi, she doesn't want to cause trouble for the time being. She will handle things in the Country of Waves in her own way.

Although I think so, the report still needs to be made. Contact the communication department in time to report the situation. If her operation in the Country of Waves fails, the headquarters can make timely adjustments to save the situation.

As for how to get to the isolated island where the real name is not recorded, Yi Ji also has a plan. Cardo, who followed her to the Country of Waves, as the current president of Shionka Shipping Company, must know how to get to that isolated island.
