Escape From Konoha

On the surface of the sea, a hundred people dressed as ninjas sat cross-legged on the surface of the sea. Beside them, a half-person-high scroll stood up like an antenna, and began to transmit chakra towards the distance.

Around them, the sea surface was calm, but underneath the water, it was churning for no reason, and one wave after another hit the coast of the Land of Waves.

Such a large-scale water escape ninjutsu is difficult to maintain by relying on personal strength alone. It is difficult to perform it by gathering hundreds of ninjas and recording high-level water escape ninjutsu scroll props, but compared to the real Natural disasters are still too far apart.

However, their purpose is not to completely destroy the coast of the Kingdom of Waves, but to destroy a specific area designated above.

Assassination, destruction, as long as the forces of the Kingdom of Ghosts are driven out of the Kingdom of Waves, then no matter what method, it is worth a try.

Just as they were stabilizing the large-scale water escape ninjutsu, suddenly, a huge and narrow shadow suddenly emerged from the surface of the sea. Without warning, this shadow became bigger and bigger, like a huge sea beast lurking in the deep sea. Now it's time to go to the sea and breathe a breath of fresh air.

The huge shadow swung its tail out of the sea with a bang, raising a water wall more than ten meters high, pushing it to both sides, causing the waves to surge violently.

"ah!"

With no time to defend themselves, more than a dozen ninjas were immediately overwhelmed by the wall of water and swept into the sea water.

Afterwards, the ferocious giant mouth had been waiting under the sea for a long time, and the blood-red pupils glowed in the sea. It tore open the mouth and swallowed several ninjas who were caught in the sea.

"W-what is this!?"

All the ninjas were forced to suspend their ninjutsu. Looking at the huge sea beast that appeared in the sea, they didn't even see the real body, but the unparalleled destructive power was obviously beyond the reach of ordinary ninjas.

There was no response, and the sound of the churning of the sea rang in the ears of every ninja. They turned pale and looked at their feet, and the shadows appeared again.

The same moves, but they were too late to escape from the attack range.

Under the influence of a huge force, his body flew painfully in the sky, blood spurting from his mouth.

At this time, they finally saw clearly what the monster that attacked them was.

An exaggeratedly large python.

Its eyes are already larger than the human body, and its open mouth is enough to swallow several adults in one bite.

Its body is not made of flesh and blood, but of blue fluid material.

It is Shiraishi's water attribute clone, Suiryujin.

In the water, its abilities will be greatly enhanced.

Its huge shape gave these ninjas terrible pressure, and cold sweat broke out on their faces.

Do they really have any chance of victory in the face of this monster?

But thinking about the consequences of a failed mission, their 'masters' would definitely be very angry.

Ignoring the complicated thoughts of these ninjas, the Water Dragon God swam directly and started the next round of charge.

In the water, it is difficult to surpass the python in terms of speed.

What's more, although the water dragon god has the swimming characteristics of a snake, its body that integrates chakra and natural energy is superior to wild pythons in terms of performance.

Therefore, before the confidence of the ninjas could be gathered, they were defeated by the Water Dragon God.

With a speed as fast as a whirlwind, with one tail sweep, the nearby ninjas were swept away. Under the violent tail sweep, those ninjas who were sent flying, their fronts were bloody and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Afterwards, the water dragon god activated the chakra inside his body, and the blue translucent body immediately burst into brilliant light, and the scarlet snake pupils became brighter and brighter, full of bloodthirsty color.

"Chakra...Chakra is absorbed!"

The ninjas reacted. Standing on the sea water, they suddenly realized that the chakra in their bodies was flowing rapidly out of their bodies.

Chakra is the foundation for ninjas to fight. Without this foundation, it is meaningless to master the most powerful physical techniques, ninjutsu and illusion techniques.

Powerful taijutsu, ninjutsu and genjutsu are all released based on chakra.

The Water Dragon God with the ability to absorb chakra is undoubtedly a nightmare level existence for most ninjas who have no resistance.

And then, facing this group of ninjas who had lost most of their chakra, it was just a simple hunt.

"The momentum of the sea water has weakened?"

I noticed that the impact of the sea water seemed to be much weaker than before.

Although the workers don't quite know what's going on, it's undoubtedly a happy thing.

In the safe area, Ichihime and several ninjas from the Oni Nation stood there, watching the workers trying to plug the gap in the dam, their postures were in a state of embarrassment, but their faces were no longer as pale and frightened as they were at the beginning.

The ninjas of the Oni Nation are responsible for the deployment of the disaster area. They are not from the officials of the Nation of Waves, and they have not aroused the rebound of the workers of the Nation of Waves.

After all, under the deployment of the ninjas of the ghost country, their work has also become orderly, not mindless panic and bewilderment.

"Factories and farmland are still partially affected."

Yiji looked at the coastal roads washed away by the sea, many of which had flowed into the factory bases, and some farmers' fields were also eroded by the sea, which made many farmers look sad.

"Sorry, Miss."

Shinobi, who is in charge of this area, looked ashamed.

"It doesn't matter, no one would have thought that they would use this method to destroy our foundation in the Kingdom of Waves."

Yi Ji said calmly.

But people who know her well know that she is angry, but they just don't show it.

"Feel sorry."

The Jonin from the Kingdom of Demons was still apologizing.

"Report this to the headquarters. I need further instructions."

If it was just a simple assassination, Yi Ji was not afraid of such means.

But if the assassination was to be supplemented by sabotage, Yiji felt that it would be better to take the initiative if she waited like this.

Next time, she didn't know what methods the other party would use to destroy the factory that had not yet been built.

"yes."

The Jonin of the Demon Country responded.

"Miss."

There was a panting sound from behind, and Yiji turned around, and saw Kado running over panting, his face turned pale after strenuous exercise.

He was not a ninja. When he arrived, things here were basically over.

"Miss, how is the situation here?"

Cardo looked at the messy land below that was hit by the sea water, and asked aloud.

"It has stabilized. There is no need for you to come here in person."

Yiji said.

Kado is not a ninja, he has almost no role to come here, and in the process of coming, without sufficient power to protect, he is easily assassinated.

"The factory is very important to us, and I am one of the people in charge, so I have to come."

Cardo said.

"Next, I want to take the initiative, what do you think?"

Yiji glanced at Kado.

"Uh...will this alert others? And Mr. Shiraishi seems to think it's not time yet."

Cardo looked hesitant.

"So when is the time?"

"..."

"Forget it, I don't need you anymore. I will tell the old man personally later."

"Yes. However, Miss, it's best not to have expectations. The headquarters has a stronger intelligence system, and it will definitely be more thoughtful than our actions."

Kado could only nod helplessly.

With that said, Cardo began to change the topic, pointed at a person below and said: "By the way, Miss, please pay attention to that person."

Yiji was depressed, but she also looked in the direction Kado pointed, and saw an adult male, who was ordinary in every way, but the cross scar on his chin was quite iconic.

"he is?"

"Kesha the Fisherman."

"What's noteworthy about him?"

"He is a member of the workers' cooperative, and according to my investigation, he may be a suitable candidate for the plan."

Hearing what Cardo said, Yiji raised her eyebrows and looked at the fisherman named 'Kesha' seriously.

I had noticed this person before. He was the only ordinary person who dared to act with the ninjas of the Kingdom of Ghosts at the most critical moment.

At first I thought it was just a bit brave, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

"Then let's go see him."

Yi Ji nodded, then turned and left here.

After receiving the information passed back from the Kingdom of Waves, in the castle guard, a group of important ministers of the Fire Nation were summoned, and the Fire Nation's daimyo looked gloomy.

"Why do these idiots want to do such a thing without permission?"

Faced with the wrath of the daimyo, the important ministers were all silent. They also knew the information, but they still felt worried about the situation of the isolated island merchants.

You know, the most dangerous thing about the arrangement of the Kingdom of Ghosts in the Kingdom of Waves is not the factory, but the worker-citizen cooperative.

If that organization continues to exist, there is a potential risk of civil war in the Country of Waves.

However, the merchant alliance on the isolated island ignored their orders and carried out assassinations and sabotaged factories... As expected, they were still thinking like merchants.

If a guy like this wants to establish a 'country' in the Country of Waves, he will soon be doomed.

However, it is precisely because these men and mice are short-sighted that they will use the Kingdom of Waves as bait and then implement the annexation plan.

But now because of the short-sightedness of these people, the Kingdom of Ghosts will definitely retaliate next.

If both sides continue to take actions such as assassination and sabotage, the situation in the Country of Waves will be thrown into chaos.

The Kingdom of Rain is already in chaos. If the Kingdom of Waves continues to be in chaos... the important ministers shook their heads helplessly.

"Fortunately, the Kingdom of Ghosts did not follow suit. It seems that their arrangements have not been completed yet, so they do not plan to mess up the situation in the Kingdom of Waves now."

After reading the intelligence, the Daimyo of the Country of Fire found out that the forces of the Kingdom of Ghosts were stationed in the Kingdom of Waves, and refrained from taking action, which made the Daimyo of the Country of Fire breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your Excellency, you can't let this group of businessmen mess around. If they don't act according to the instructions, it will only make the ghost country panic and lead to even greater disasters."

"Yes, if we deal with matters between countries from a businessman's perspective, these people's problems are too serious."

They have already provided political assistance through the daimyo of the Kingdom of Waves, but the merchant alliance on the isolated island ignored this and still carried out assassination and sabotage actions, which made them very speechless.

"But, if you want to replace it... it's not that easy."

Although it has maintained a cooperative relationship with the merchant alliance of the isolated island, the merchant alliance of the isolated island obviously has its own set of practices and will not completely follow the will of the country of fire.

Without the intervention of the Kingdom of Ghosts, both the Kingdom of Waves and the Isolated Island would eventually become appendages of the Kingdom of Fire.

However, now that the Kingdom of Ghosts has intervened, it is the biggest problem.

The plan to annex the Kingdom of Waves and the isolated island has been delayed, and they even have to stabilize these people and fight against the Kingdom of Demons.

However, using methods such as assassination and sabotage, in the view of the Fire Nation daimyo, these are only last resort measures that can only be used under forced circumstances.

And the more you do this kind of thing, the bigger the blame will fall.

Even if these businessmen have the idea of ​​​​founding a country, they are still businessmen at heart.

What comes out of my mind is still the profit thinking of a businessman.

Following the Five Shadows Conference a few months ago, the actions of the Kingdom of Ghosts gradually turned from behind the scenes to the public. This is transformation.

Conspiracies and intrigues are nothing but trivial matters after all.

If you try too hard for a while, you will lose more in the end.

"If we don't do that, when the Kingdom of Ghosts really gets into trouble, our side will be very passive."

After hearing these words, the Fire Country Daimyo also frowned in distress.

With the random operations of the Lone Island Merchant Alliance, he now wants Konoha to prepare for war.

However, he was worried about the Kingdom of Rain.

The resistance of Yuyin Village and those militiamen was stronger than he expected.

Because of this, the worker-citizen cooperative established by the Kingdom of Ghosts in the Kingdom of Waves is the ultimate source of danger.

Penetrating the bottom to carry out activities is a method that the Fire Country daimyo has never seen before.

Because people at the bottom mean they will be completely dominated by the top.

But now, the Kingdom of Ghosts is using technology to gradually break the balance of power between the bottom and the top...

Sometimes, the Daimyo of the Fire Country also wonders, what does the Ghost Country want to do?

What do they gain by doing this?

What good will this do to the country of ghosts?

Is it just that you simply want to pull Fire Nation to step down so that you can take over?

The Kingdom of Ghosts has not yet been recognized as the sixth largest country, but it already has the potential to become the sixth largest country.

The allure of the identity of a big country is unimaginable for the ghost country.

If this is the case, what will be the next step for the Kingdom of Ghosts?

Continue to expand the civil war in the Land of Rain, involve more countries, and quickly infiltrate the Land of Waves, in this way to test the Land of Fire, or is there another plan behind the scenes?

No matter how you guess, it seems to lack a kind of convincing.

At this moment, a ninja walked into the tower. He knelt down on one knee and reported to the high-level Fire Nation executives present:

"My lord, this is an urgent message from the Land of Rain."

The land of rain? Urgent report?

Why is it the Land of Rain again?

The fire country daimyo suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

He hasn't thought about the countermeasures for the Land of Waves yet, and the Land of Rain seems to have undergone new changes, which caught him off guard.

After receiving the scroll presented by the ninja, the daimyo of Fire Nation quickly glanced at it, his eyes flickered immediately, and the above message——

The Kingdom of Earth has withdrawn all its troops from the Kingdom of Rain.

Inside the dome-like building, the ninja fighting arena.

Countless wealthy businessmen gathered here, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

On the arena used for fighting, two ninjas are fighting fiercely together.

This is already the thirty-second match today.

The rich and colorful moves of the ninjas made the wealthy businessmen still feel dazzled and unsatisfied when they saw this.

And in order to adjust the atmosphere well, the wealthy businessmen began to place bets constantly, gambling on the outcome of the ninja.

If the battle is won, the victorious ninja will be fine.

If it fails, then the businessman who lost the bet will let the failed ninja try a life worse than death.

This is a paradise for the powerful. Their wealth is enough for anyone to give up their dignity and serve them, even ninjas.

Participating in the gambling fights were also people who had smuggled in and lost their fortunes. They tried to bet on the battle and fantasized about getting rich overnight. If you fail, you will fall to the bottom and never get back up.

"Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

As a ninja formed seals with his hands, he immediately used a high-level water escape technique while the opponent was dodging.

In the waterless arena, a huge water dragon condensed and pressed heavily on the enemy ninja.

"ah!"

The screams, cheers from the audience, and beatings and curses all mixed together in an instant.

If the venue staff hadn't stopped him, the businessman who lost the bet would have rushed to the stage and beat the losing ninja to death with his fists.

Seeing that he lost the competition, the ninja's face immediately showed a look of despair.

"Wait, I can still fight, please give me another chance, please!"

As he spoke, he knelt down and begged the wealthy businessmen in the audience for forgiveness.

Then he received an extremely cold look, which made him even more desperate.

"Drag him down and hand him over to his new master!"

The emcee straightened the tie on his formal attire. He was always merciless to losers.

According to the rules, the losing ninja will lose his life and his life to the master of the other ninja.

Therefore, even though many wealthy businessmen want him to die, his life and death are already in the hands of the new owner.

Such regulations are not allowed to be violated.

"Then, let's start today's thirty-third match. The next two ninjas to fight are -"

However, the referee stopped midway through his words.

It was a huge impact that was enough to shake the entire island. The dome-shaped arena trembled violently, and even a large amount of gravel and dust fell.

Even the sturdy arena cannot withstand sudden earthquakes.

"?"

The emcee of the referee and the wealthy merchants in the auditorium were all silent for a moment. They looked up and found that there was only a huge chandelier placed there, other than that, there was no movement.

Just when they couldn't figure out what was going on, boom——

The huge explosion sounded directly in their ears this time.

The passageway to the safety exit encountered some kind of powerful impact, and a huge hole expanded.

The terrifying thunder and lightning storm swept up a dozen ninjas, flew out of the passage, and landed hard on the arena, wailing continuously.

The referee was stunned.

How is this going?

Why do the ninja bodyguards from the arena appear here?

"Today is truly a rare event, ladies and gentlemen."

The sound of chuckles emerged from the cave-like passage, and two figures slowly walked out of the shadows and appeared in everyone's sight.

One of them was wearing a white coat unique to medical personnel, and the other was a strong, dark-skinned man with a naked upper body, and his whole body was shrouded in lightning. The child became solemn.

It was Shiraishi and the Fourth Raikage.

"Who are you? Catch them!"

The referee master felt the contempt and immediately directed the bodyguards around the venue to rush towards Shiraishi and the Fourth Raikage.

Shiraishi and the Fourth Raikage stood there, neither of them moving.

"Thunder Release·Black Spot Cha!"

The roar of the beast filled the air.

A pitch-black leopard-shaped lightning leaped out from behind Shiraishi and Fourth Raikage, instantly knocking a ninja into the air. Afterwards, the pitch-black leopard turned into a black torrent of lightning, and set up a black lightning net around it to intercept Withstand the offensive of other ninjas.

"ah!"

The screams continued, and all the ninjas hit by the black lightning fell down, fell to the ground and twitched, their eyeballs turned white.

"The Black Thunder Dungeon of the third generation of Raikage? It is unique."

Shiraishi made such an evaluation when he saw Lei Dun who killed the rushing ninja with one blow.

"This is really unbelievable. Compared with the third generation, my Black Thunder Dun has many improvements."

Darui lazily walked out of the shadows and appeared behind the Fourth Raikage. Appearing with him, there is also Kami Ninki who is also a guard.

Behind Baishi, the two avatars of Tian Yu Nu and Chi Zi also began to take their positions.

"You, you are..."

In the auditorium, someone recognized the identities of Shiraishi and Fourth Raikage.

After all, he is a top ninja in the ninja world, and his appearance is naturally well known by business people.

In many cases, they need to rely on the power of ninjas to succeed.

"Although it was sudden, this isolated island will be taken over by us from now on."

Baishi stepped forward and said to the merchants present with a smile.

"W-What!?"

Before they could react, another group of people emerged from the passage behind.

They are the military ninja troops of Ghost Country and the ninja troops of Yunyin Village.

They spread all over the corners of the arena, took up weapons and aimed at these merchants, making them feel the fear of death all of a sudden.

"Wait, this is a place that even the law cannot touch—"

Poof!

The kunai pierced the merchant's arm, causing him to howl like a pig and bleed profusely.

After such a move, no one dared to speak, and everyone was silent.

The Fourth Raikage bumped his fists, lightning flashed all over his body, and he took a step forward.

"From now on, we are the law here! Darui, arrest all these people and wait to be punished!"

"Okay, Boss."

Darui clasped his hands behind his head, walked forward lazily, and began to issue orders to all the wealthy businessmen in the arena:

"Okay, everyone, now please put your heads in your hands, don't be crowded and noisy, and leave in an orderly manner. If you don't obey the order, I can provide electrotherapy services for free. I will do what I say."

Blue lightning danced in Darui's eyes, and the threat was self-evident.
