Escape From Konoha

"bishop?"

The clergyman who came before him was an old man over sixty years old.

But his current condition is very bad.

Not only was there burns all over his body, but three ninja knives were inserted into his back. In addition, a huge blood hole was broken in his chest, and blood was gurgling out.

With such injuries, a ninja would have died long ago.

But the old man survived firmly.

Not only that, the vitality in his body is still very strong.

The black thorn blade in his hand was stained with blood, both his own blood and the blood of his enemies.

The thirteen or fourteen year old boy named Hidan looked at the old man who came to him in surprise.

He is the big figure who holds the position of bishop in the evil religion he believes in.

"Ahem, Hi-Hidan..."

Although his vitality was still very strong, the injuries on the old man's body still could not be effectively resolved, and his body's fatigue became more and more obvious.

If it weren't for his strong willpower, he might have fallen to the enemy's attack.

Hidan dropped the wild flowers he picked from the grass, came to the old bishop's side, supported his body, and let him rest next to a tree.

"Don't bother, I'm going to die soon..."

The old bishop said.

Each of the three ninja swords behind his back pierced his heart.

Even though the vitality is still strong, it is passing away at a very fast speed.

After all...he failed to receive the evil god's blessing and obtain the perfect body of immortality.

This regret disappeared as he was about to die.

"ah?"

Hidan was a little at a loss, staring blankly at the bishop who was fine a few days ago, wondering why he suddenly became like this.

"Your Majesty the Bishop...isn't he immortal?"

Hidan asked blankly.

Yes, how can a person die if he has the ability to become immortal?

"immortal……"

The old bishop chewed on this word and smiled bitterly.

Although the Evil God Cult does have such an ability, not every believer can obtain this ability.

Rather, because the power of immortality is too strong, as of now, apart from the original founder priest, there is no second person in the Cult of the Heretic God who has obtained immortality.

His body's vitality is just too strong, and he can ignore most injuries. He can fight forever with the support of his willpower.

But if someone's limbs are broken, they can only become lambs to be slaughtered.

There is still time.

That is the most ruthless and terrifying force in the world.

Immortal people cannot live forever. If you don't eat, you will die.

This is also the limitation of immortality.

But even so, this ability can be considered powerful.

If it weren't for the accumulation of the Evil God Cult, he would have died no less than ten times in the previous battles.

"The enemy will come soon. Get out of here quickly. You are the last hope of our Cult of the Evil God. Whether the Cult of the Evil God can flourish in the future depends on you."

The old bishop looked at Hidan with fanatical eyes and said.

Unlike him, Hidan was a loyal cultist of the evil god. His body was very suitable for the forbidden arts of the evil god cult, and he had an immortal body that was more powerful than him.

The only flaw is that the brain is not very good. It is wrong to say that it is simple and low IQ. It should be a reckless personality, and it is relatively easy to be dull. Moreover, apart from evil gods, there is no so-called awe.

However, such believers are exactly what the evil god likes.

"Even if you say so, Bishop..."

Hidan frowned in distress.

He just sneaked out for a walk. When he came back, he found that the bishop of the sect was about to be killed, and the evil sect was about to be destroyed.

The world was changing so fast that his brain could not react immediately.

"This is the evil god's forbidden technique that can only be used in full power with the help of a truly immortal body - death by blood. Originally, I wanted to teach you this forbidden technique personally, but it seems that there is no time for it now. You can only figure it out on your own."

The old bishop regretfully took out a scroll, placed it solemnly in Hidan's hands, and continued to urge him to leave quickly.

Fei Duan took the scroll and was about to stand up and leave when he suddenly turned around, smiled and asked, "By the way, my lord bishop, do you want me to hold the last ceremony for you?"

"What?"

The old bishop did not react.

Poof!

The same black thorn blade unfolded from Hidan's hand and mercilessly slashed across the old bishop's neck.

The head rolled to the ground and blood spurted out.

The old bishop's expression remained in shock as he passed away.

Hidan looked at the bishop's decapitated body and very solemnly cut open his abdomen with a black thorn blade. He endured the pain and let the blood flow. He drew a strange symbol with a triangle in the middle on the ground and cut the old bishop's body. placed between symbols.

Afterwards, Hidan took off the silver pendant with the same symbol on the ground from his neck, closed his eyes, and began to pray.

"Bishop, may your soul return to the embrace of the evil god and rest in peace."

The Evil God Cult will continue to prosper, and leave such a glorious future to me. Hidan's heart was surging with passion, and the corners of his mouth curved up into a weird and evil smile.

…

Ninjas in black surrounded the woods. They looked at the body of the old bishop whose head had been separated, located in the symbol of the evil god painted in blood. His blood spurted on the ground and on the bark beside him.

His expression remained stunned. It can be imagined that his death happened suddenly and his head was beheaded unexpectedly.

"This is the prayer ceremony used by the evil god to bury people."

A ninja in black said.

"Did he die in the hands of his own people? However, all the people on the list should be cleared. This bishop is the last fighting force of the Evil God Cult."

Another ninja in black said.

"Yes, all the evil cultists in Tangyin Village have also been killed. There should be no fish that slipped through the net."

The ninjas were confused.

It's impossible for this bishop to cut off his own head after drawing the symbols, right?

If that were the case, it would be impossible for the old bishop to show such an expression.

"No, I remember some evil god believers said that there seems to be a son of God with an extremely mysterious identity in their sect, who is said to be a holy boy who has understood all the evil god's teachings."

"...It's really suspicious. There are no so-called records about the Son of God of the Evil God Cult on the list."

"Anyway, let's take the body back first. There are some abnormalities in the body of the members of the Evil God Cult. It's better to take it back for examination."

The black-clothed ninjas talked about it and quickly reached a consensus.

Although there may be some fish that have slipped through the net in the Evil God Cult, those are not under the jurisdiction of the hunting troops.

They just go by the list.

If the Evil God Cult really slipped through the net, the intelligence department will first investigate whether the situation is true, and then they can take action to avoid killing innocent people.

After all, the Evil God Sect has been in the Kingdom of Tang for a long time. Even Tangyin Village has brainwashed some ninjas by the Evil God Sect's sect. One can imagine how terrifying this sect is.

It is difficult to predict what kind of joint reaction an evil sect whose sect's mission is to kill and destroy and a ninja village that is a mercenary will produce.

If it is not eradicated now, it will be more difficult to eradicate in the future.

This kind of sect's religious doctrine is more terrifying to unarmed ordinary people than the underworld forces.

"The Evil God Cult was destroyed, and the leader of Tangyin Village agreed to cooperate with the Kingdom of Ghosts. In this way, the door of the Kingdom of Tang was finally opened. What is left is to guide the work, and at the right time, become the thorn A sharp knife in the heart of the Kingdom of Thunder.”

Shiraishi, who returned to the Country of Ghosts from the isolated island, immediately received the message from the direction of the Country of Yu in his office.

The staff there, with the help of the "compatriots" at the bottom of Tang Country, successfully destroyed the evil cult that existed in Tang Country, and at the same time helped Tangyin Village stabilize its rule.

Different from the rumors of the destruction of Tangyin Village reported by the outside world, what the Kingdom of Ghosts destroyed this time was only the ninjas of Tangyin Village who were brainwashed by the evil cult. It was a 'civil war'. Although many buildings in Tangyin Village were destroyed during the civil war, the effect was very obvious. The influence of the Evil God Cult was completely eliminated from Tangyin Village.

However, the decline in Tangyin Village's strength is also an indisputable fact.

The brainwashing ability of the Evil God Cult is very powerful, and the believers are basically mentally disturbed people who kill without blinking an eye. Even if ordinary people join, they will be very fanatical about killing and setting fires after a month. In order to get a good reputation, for the so-called The evil god sacrifices the lost lamb in the human world.

Once a ninja is brainwashed by the evil cult, he will become a more terrifying murderer than ordinary believers.

For the believers of this sect, killing people is to promote their sect. Only by killing the existing world can the evil god they believe in be satisfied and blessed with divine grace.

It's a pity... At the last moment of being eliminated, the evil god's miracle did not appear.

The 423 ordinary believers made up of ordinary people, the 172 elite believers made up of ninjas, and several bishops all returned to the embrace of the evil god they said.

It can be considered a worthy death.

As for those who have not been completely brainwashed and are non-staff members, they will be let go for the time being. However, the wandering witches who stay in the Kingdom of Yu will monitor these people who pose safety risks in the name of practicing medicine for a period of three years.

This operation launched preliminary cooperation with Tangyin Village and eliminated the evil cult that was causing trouble. Overall, it was a very successful operation.

With Yuyincun as a partner, it becomes extremely simple to penetrate the bottom layer of Yu Country.

However, considering that the diplomatic situations of the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Fire are completely different, Shiraishi felt that it was not possible to act blatantly in the Kingdom of Tang. It would take a period of silence to reduce the sense of presence.

As for how to deploy it, a high-level meeting will be held after the year to decide.

There are many aspects involved, and no matter how much he considers, he cannot take care of all aspects.

The most important thing is that it is too tiring to think about problems alone.

The Chinese New Year is almost here, and it’s time to relax your body.

"Speaking of which, Yiji will come back to celebrate the New Year. It will be soon."

Shiraishi said this, and when he was about to pick up the cup and drink tea, there was a knock on the door.

"Old man, I'm back."

Yiji opened the door unceremoniously and walked in calmly from the outside.

That's it.

Shiraishi put down the cup helplessly and said, "Welcome back."

"Why do you look unhappy?"

"No, I'm thinking about the military reorganization next year."

Shiraishi said.

"Army adaptation?"

Ichiji tilted her head, a little confused by Shiraishi's statement.

"Yes, but this adaptation is still in the preliminary stage and will not be decided until a meeting is held after the year."

"Why?"

"Decentralize the power and promote the status of middle-level and lower-level officers. Moreover, the establishment of ordinary soldiers and ninjas must also be dispersed. Similarly, ninjas and blood successor ninjas must also be distinguished."

Although this distinction will cause some objections.

However, this world is not very 'equal' on a certain level.

The average strength of a ninja is stronger than that of an ordinary person.

The Blood Succession Limited Ninja are superior to the average strength of ordinary ninjas.

Three types of soldiers with different combat capabilities are distinguished and managed separately, corresponding to different functions.

The military's current management model is still in its infancy, and this system has not yet matured.

Yiji nodded without any objection.

"Speaking of which, didn't Thunder Pill come back with you?"

Shiraishi didn't see Thunder Maru, which was a little strange.

"It is enjoying itself in the Land of Waves and will be back in a few days."

Ichiji replied.

After speaking, she took out a document and placed it in front of Shiraishi.

It is her report document, which lists all the big and small things she has experienced in the Country of Waves in the past few months.

"Debriefing document? I will read it. Let's rest at home for a while before leaving. Your mother misses you a little too."

Shiraishi put aside Kazuki's report document and said to Kazuki without looking at it immediately.

"I understand. I'm going to find my brother first. The bullets he gave me last time are almost used up and I need to replenish them."

Yi Ji turned around and left the office.

"A flintlock gun filled with chakra bullets? Unfortunately, it cannot be mass-produced yet..."

Not any metal can withstand the power of chakra bullets. It would be a bit of a joke if it exploded directly.

The flintlock gun that Asuka made based on the kunai gun is a sophisticated product, and it is impossible to get it to the factory for mass production. If the cost is reduced to manufacture, then the corresponding chakra bullets will also have to cut corners.

◎

The land of thunder.

Yunyin Village.

The Raikage returned victorious with his ninja troops. Not only that, there were two other members of the returning team who had special blood inheritance limits.

Due to a deal with the Kingdom of Demons, ordinary ninjas captured prisoners and handed them over to the Kingdom of Demons for disposal, and the Kingdom of Demons paid the corresponding money.

The research value of blood successor limited ninjas is very high. The Fourth Raikage has no interest in those ordinary ninja captives, but blood successor limited ninjas cannot be traded.

This trip to the isolated island can be said to be a fruitful return.

On the other side of the isolated island, the Kingdom of Thunder has not had deep negotiations to begin with. Even if it is destroyed, it will not affect the economic problems of the Kingdom of Thunder.

Not only that, the Kingdom of Thunder, which has received such huge profits, has enriched its national treasury. In this way, more and more funds will be invested in the development of Yunyin Village.

According to the development funds given by the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder, Cloud Hidden Village will have 20,000 official ninjas in five years.

With such a large-scale ninja force, the Kingdom of Thunder will become the number one among the great powers, and Kumogakure Village will become the number one ninja village. This dream is just around the corner.

This kind of dream has already entered into the bones of all Kumogakure ninjas during the time of the first Raikage.

Unfortunately, the Second Raikage was defeated by the Second Hokage and was forced to agree to sign an armistice agreement. As a result, he was killed by the traitor brothers Golden Horn and Silver Horn who were unwilling to cease the war.

Subsequently, his father, the Third Raikage, came to power and worked hard to govern. He saw that the Third Ninja War was a good opportunity for Kumogakure to rise, but he eventually died due to the conspiracy of the Third Tsuchikage Onoki.

However, at that time, Konoha was fighting on multiple fronts and suffered heavy casualties. The Fourth Raikage wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to severely damage Konoha. However, he encountered the Konoha ninja who left an endless shadow - the yellow flash Namikaze Minato. He ran back to Raikage in disgrace. country.

But this time, Konoha will not have another chance to defeat Kumogakure.

Sannin defected and defected, the other two listened to the instructions and did not listen to the announcement, the yellow flash sealed the tailed beast and sacrificed, the Uchiha clan was destroyed, and the high-end combat power can be said to be almost annihilated.

There is also the Kingdom of Demon, a new military power, watching covetously from the side. Konoha and the Kingdom of Fire are unable to survive alone, so abdicating the throne in favor of someone worthy is the best choice.

As for the Kingdom of Wind and Sunagakure, the Fourth Raikage never took Sunagakure seriously.

Not to mention military strength, Kumogakure is now far superior to the opponent. Even the high-end combat power and backbone combat power are higher than Sunagakure Village. There is also the Kingdom of Oni to contain them, so there is no need to focus on Sunagakure and the Kingdom of Wind.

"Lord Raikage, this is the information coming back from the front line of Yu Country. Please take a look at it."

After returning to the office, before Fourth Raikage had time to catch his breath, Secretary Azabui kindly presented an information document for Fourth Raikage to have a look at.

"I said, Mabuyi, I just came back and I didn't even have time to drink tea. Can't you let me have a rest today?"

Although his physical endurance is very strong, after so many years of busy work, the Fourth Raikage also feels a little overwhelmed.

"Although I also want to take care of your mood, Raikage-sama, this matter is more important."

Mabuyi stood there quietly and answered meticulously.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me. I don't want to read the paperwork."

The Fourth Raikage put down the intelligence document, lay down with his back on the sofa, and asked Darui beside him to pour him a glass of water.

"All right."

Seeing the appearance of the fourth generation of Raikage, Mabui had no choice but to sigh helplessly, and continued: "The incident happened suddenly, and the village did not make corresponding arrangements, that is, Tangyin Village was attacked by unknown people not long ago. , many buildings were damaged. Moreover, many firefights occurred in Yuno Country."

The Fourth Raikage's eyes flashed, he was slightly surprised, but he quickly regained his composure and asked: "What's going on? Please explain in detail."

"About the Evil God Cult."

"The Evil God Cult? So, is this an internal fight in Tangyin Village?"

The Fourth Raikage reacted.

The Evil God Cult brainwashed many ninjas in Yunyin Village, resulting in the division of power. This was information that Yunyin Village had already discovered.

However, Yunyin didn't pay attention to this kind of thing.

On the contrary, I think this is a good thing.

Tangyin Village, which is fighting against the Evil God Sect, will be much weaker, and there is no need to worry about the border security of the Kingdom of Thunder.

If possible, Kumogakure wouldn't mind fanning the flames from behind and causing both forces to suffer losses. In this way, the national power of Tang Country will decline again.

"Yes, although Tangyin Village was attacked by unknown people, according to the investigation, most of the dead were followers of the Heretic God Sect. Not only that, many branches of the Heretic God Sect in Tang Country were attacked It’s time to destroy.”

"Who are those unknown persons?"

"It seems to come from the underground black market."

Mabui said.

"Hmph, relying on a group of mercenaries to solve the problem is exactly the same as that smelly old man Onoki."

The Fourth Raikage curled his lips in displeasure.

"There is no need to make such a fuss about this kind of thing. There is no need for Yunyin to intervene."

After this encounter, it would be impossible for Tangyin Village to regain its strength within a few years.

And after all, it is just a small country ninja village. Kumogakure's attention should be focused on the country of fire, not the country of soup.

"It's just that, I won't say this kind of thing so solemnly, but I found some very strange traces in some battle venues."

"Strange traces?"

The Fourth Raikage tilted his head and looked at Mabuyi.

Darui came over at this time, holding a glass of water in his hand: "Boss, bring the water."

"Thanks."

The Fourth Raikage took the water cup and drank it in one gulp. Then he continued to look at Mabuyi and asked, "Mabuyi, what are the strange marks you are talking about?"

Mabuyi didn't answer, but went to the side and took out a transparent sanitary plastic bag, which contained a strange red sticky substance, which looked like blood.

"Is this...a bit familiar? I think I've seen it in Kumogakure's database..."

The Fourth Raikage stared at the red goo in the transparent plastic bag, thinking deeply.

"According to the instrument detection, this is the residue caused by the Blood Pond clan's ninjutsu."

Mabuyi sighed.

"!?"

The Fourth Raikage's eyes widened, showing a look of extreme shock.

"The Blood Pond clan? Impossible. Hasn't that clan been exterminated? How is it possible!?"

The Blood Pond clan has long been reduced to history. Even though it had a very glorious history in the past, it will eventually decline.

Just like Konoha Uchiha today.

became a historical remnant.

It's just that the Xuezhichi clan is not as lucky as the Uchiha clan. The Uchiha in Konoha has faded from history, and finally made a comeback in the kingdom of ghosts, and their style remains undiminished.

"The Blood Pond Clan?"

Darui's face was blank, what kind of family is this?

Nozomi on the other side was also puzzled. She didn't know why their Raikage-sama was so surprised when the so-called Blood Pond Clan was mentioned.

The Fourth Raikage's expression was uncertain and he did not answer. Abuyi responded: "The Blood Pond clan has a deep connection with our Kingdom of Thunder."

"Um?"

This made Darui and Xi even more puzzled.

If that's the case, why don't they, as jounin of Kumogakure Village, know about these things?

"Before Ninja Village was established, the daughter of the head of the Blood Pond Clan married the daimyo of the Land of Thunder as a concubine. The daughter of the patriarch of the Xuezhichi clan, with a gentle temperament and beautiful appearance, she was soon jealous of the daimyo of the land of thunder at that time. Not long after marrying her, the daimyo of the land of thunder passed away, and the royal family used the name of the disaster star, The daughter of the leader of the Blood Pond Clan was convicted, and at the same time, the Blood Pond Clan was also exiled from the Kingdom of Thunder."

Mabuyi told this past incident.

Even in Yunyin Village, few people know this.

However, as the Raikage's secretary, she is naturally qualified to know these past events.

Azabui continued to narrate: "The Blood Pond Clan who were exiled were unwilling to fail and wanted to resist. However, the Uchiha Clan who was hired by the wife of the daimyo of the Land of Thunder was the Uchiha Clan who was very famous in the ninja world at that time. Although the blood The Zhichi family also has a very good pupil technique-like blood succession limit blood dragon eye, but they are still not the opponents of the Uchiha family, and the resistance was soon suppressed. The wife of the daimyo gave a generous commission, so that the Uchiha family sent Humans monitored the Blood Pond family. After that, the era of one country and one village came, and the Uchiha and Senju clan established Konoha, and at the same time withdrew from the surveillance of the Blood Pond family, and were no longer employed by the Thunder Country.”

"What about genocide?"

Darui asked.

Mabuyi shook his head and said: "We don't know that the exiled Blood Pond clan lived in the barren land of the Kingdom of Thunder. Later, Yunyin Village was established, and the Kingdom of Thunder was even less concerned about the Blood Pond clan. After that, I heard the news that the Blood Pond clan was exterminated, and the Blood Dragon Eyes of the Blood Pond clan became extinct in the ninja world."

But unexpectedly, the Blood Dragon Eye does not seem to be extinct now, and the descendants of this clan are still active in the ninja world.

"Lord Raikage, what should I do? Do you want to pursue it further?"

Mabuyi asked.

"The Blood Dragon Eye of the Blood Pond clan has a special ability. The Blood Pond clan member who appeared in the Kingdom of Tang is obviously a mercenary from the underground black market. However, the underground black market personnel are complicated. If you want to investigate, even Yun It will also be very difficult to hide. Not only that, the people of this clan are very disgusted with the Kingdom of Thunder because of the incident in the past. If Yunyin Village starts a large-scale search, it will only alert the snake, and even lead to revenge. "

As for dispatching a small force to conduct a secret investigation... the Fourth Raikage did not hold out hope.

Like the Sharingan, the Blood Dragon Eye has very powerful illusions and is extremely good at positional warfare.

By causing wounds to the enemy and creating human bombs, his ability is even weirder than the Sharingan.

If you rush into the trap rashly, even if you have a Jonin leading the team, you will be in danger.

Mabuyi nodded and followed the Raikage's decision.

"However, if the other party shows signs of activity in the future, just pay a little attention. The current ninja world is not a battle between ninja clan and ninja clan, but a battle between villages and villages."

Therefore, the Fourth Raikage was not too worried about the descendants of the Blood Pond clan hiding in the dark.

The dominance of the ninja clan in the ninja world is history.

It's just the last descendant of a clan who doesn't dare to take revenge on the Kingdom of Thunder.

After so many years, there are no signs of activity by members of the Blood Pond clan, which has proved that this family has completely declined and is no longer the populous Blood Succession Limit family in the past.

"If there is nothing else, I'll go back and take a rest first."

Fourth Raikage rubbed his dizzy head, got up and prepared to go home and rest.

"One more thing, related to you, Mr. Lei Ying."

Mabui stopped Raikage Fourth, with a subtle expression on his face.

"Is it related to me?"

The Fourth Raikage was stunned.

"Yes, this is the bill sent by the Tea Country Casino, and you need to sign for it in person."

"Casino? What casino?"

Fourth Raikage looked puzzled, he never had any bad habits, and he didn't even have time to practice, so how could he possibly gamble?

Afterwards, Fourth Raikage's heart sank and he remembered something.

Tsunade!

He suddenly remembered that Tsunade had made an antidote for him to solve the blasters of Xuanyuan, and he needed to pay off the gambling money for Tsunade.

Mabui didn't explain, but gave Darui and Xi a subtle wink.

The two knew each other, and quietly left the office with Mabuyi.

Fourth Raikage didn't care, opened the bill, and saw a number '9' at first glance, followed by many '0's.

Lei Ying began to count how many 0, one, two, three... six... eight...

The calm expression on his face could no longer be maintained, and a certain string in his brain was directly broken. Endless lightning emerged from his body, and his aura became as violent as a beast.

"Damn old lady Tsunade! Go to hell!!!!"

An extremely angry roar roared out from the Raikage's office.

Boom!

The Raikage's office located on the top of the mountain exploded without any warning, and the thunder light rushed into the air, attracting the attention of the villagers passing below.
