Escape From Konoha

The operating room was filled with the cold smell of disinfectant.

Lying on the cold operating table was a body that had long since cooled down - Aburame Ryoma.

Although he is not well-known to the outside world, he is also one of the elite Jonin among the top leaders of Konoha. His birth date can be traced back to the same period as the Sannin. He once worked with Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, but now he can only It became a precious experimental material on the operating table.

"There are not even a few ninja corpses of the Aburame clan stored in the freezer. The research value of ninja corpses like Aburame Ryoma is even greater."

Shiraishi could judge the special characteristics of Aburame Ryoma's body with just a simple glance.

This is what the Aburame clan of Konoha have in common.

Being able to cultivate his body into an 'insect nest', allowing various ninja insects to inhabit him, he has a variety of ways to fight enemies, and he also occupies a pivotal position in Konoha.

Although Aburame Ryoma is not well-known, and even most people in his clan do not know that such a number one person exists in their family, he can be said to be the strongest ninja in the Aburame clan today.

Unfortunately, the moment the information is revealed, the calculation becomes very easy.

After all, who would be wary of someone long dead?

This is why Aburame Ryoma died in defeat.

"Thank you for your hard work. You have already dissected this corpse, right? Just give me a copy of the data then."

Shiraishi glanced at the woman in miko uniform standing next to her and said to her.

"yes."

Pharmacist Nonoyu nodded.

For a family like the Aburame clan that inherits secret arts, the bodies of their dead members are also extremely precious treasures.

The Kingdom of Ghosts has no reason to let him go.

"Unfortunately, we can only explore the secrets of Aburame Ryoma's body. For example, the Aburame clan's method of cultivating ninja insects cannot be extracted. His brain has been eaten by insects, and his memory system has been completely destroyed. Er Jing.”

Nonoyu regretted this.

"It doesn't matter. The Aburame clan has been able to establish itself in the ninja world for so long. They must have taken precautions."

It is difficult for a family's secrets to be revealed.

In order to prevent the leakage of secret techniques from happening, the ninja clan will impose a 'restriction' on the clan members. Even if they die, the enemy will not be able to obtain useful valuable information.

The foundation of the ninja clan is the inheritance of secret techniques and blood inheritance limits.

If too many people know or practice the same secret technique, then the status of the ninja clan will be challenged.

Compared with the bloodline limited ninja clan, the ninjutsu secrets of the ninja clan who inherit the secret arts are more likely to be leaked.

Once the complete secret inheritance system is exposed, the status of the ninja clan in the ninja village will be in jeopardy.

This kind of thing could not be changed even during the reign of the most enlightened Second Hokage of Konoha.

Therefore, Konoha is the world of the Ninja clan.

These ninjas are the ones who truly control Konoha.

Naruto is also the 'leader' elected by the Ninja clan.

"Is your arm okay?"

Shiraishi looked at Nonoyu's intact hands.

He knew that in order to deal with Aburame Ryoma, Nonoyu deliberately lost an arm, letting Aburame Ryoma accidentally fall into a trap.

"It's much better now. Although I'm still a little uncomfortable, I'll be able to feel more comfortable after a period of rest."

No Naiyu does not feel a loss.

It's really worth it to be able to exchange one of your own arms for the life of Deputy Commander Gen.

Shiraishi nodded and glued the arm together. It was not a difficult task for the country of ghosts with a sound medical system.

Even the other ninja villages can do this, but it won't be as easy as the Demon Country.

"You can rest in China in January next year, and then go out on missions in early February. You still need to go to Tang Country. Although the Evil God Cult has been destroyed, it seems that there is still a 'son of God' who has not been arrested. You Then go and see if you can find anything."

"Son of God?"

No Naiyu looked strange.

She knew a little about Tang Zhiguo, but she had never heard of the Evil God Cult or any other godly son alive.

However, the son of God who was supported by this sect that took pleasure in killing people was probably also a murderer who took pleasure in killing people.

"I'm not sure what's going on. It's just scattered rumors. After all, the intelligence network in Tang Country has not been established comprehensively. It's just that I can't find it. If it really exists, as long as he Kill people so that you can find some information."

After members of the Evil God Cult kill people, they will leave the unique symbols of the Evil God Cult in place.

I believe that when the Son of God kills people, he will leave similar marks, which represents the worship of the evil god.

"I know, if I find him, I will kill him."

"The body of the high-ranking member of the Evil God Cult has a very strong vitality, and the nature of the chakra is rather weird. It looks like a monster like a sprite... Please pay attention when the time comes."

Shiraishi gave a piece of advice.

In the battle report, even though the bishops of the Evil God Cult and other high-ranking figures had their hearts pierced by a blade and a big hole blown out of their chests, their actions were not affected. Instead, they fell into a bloodthirsty state due to excessive bleeding.

I believe that the Son of God is the same. Maybe his body's resistance to blows is even more troublesome than that of the bishop of the Evil God Cult.

Shiraishi even suspected that the bishops of these evil sects were already half-human and half-demon beings.

Currently, the only known way to definitely kill the high-level bishops of the Evil God Cult is to kill these people by beheading them. Otherwise, no matter how serious the injuries are to these people, they will not fall down.

They are simply bloodthirsty machines that exist only to kill.

"Monster?"

Ye Naiyu's eyes fluctuated, and he stroked his chest, the blood in his body began to heat up.

The cult of evil gods might be a little more interesting than I imagined.

The miko of the ghost country has special powers to suppress monsters.

This country is also the country that is most likely to be exposed to the breath of monsters.

Monsters can be said to be like natural enemies to humans.

Living with all kinds of negative human emotions.

Similar in origin to Tailed Beasts, but somewhat different in nature.

The tailed beast is based on chakra, and after a long time, it has been infected with the mundane malice of the human world.

On the other hand, monsters are based on the negative emotions of human beings, and they are coated with chakra on the outside, so as to materialize and form self-awareness.

Among the most typical examples are sprites and Zero Tail of the Kingdom of the Sky.

The way they were originally born was due to the negative emotions of human beings. Chakra is only a carrier that allows them to materialize, not their essence, which is a shell-like existence. Their souls are the root of the 'evil' in the human heart.

The combination of the two is a complete monster.

And monsters, like tailed beasts, are immortal.

In terms of immortality, monsters may be more difficult to deal with than tailed beasts.

"Speaking of which, before the establishment of the one-country-one-village system, the five major countries all believed in temples and Buddhas. Temples such as the Temple of Fire and the Temple of Wind were the foundation of the faith of the five major countries. However, with the changes of the times, temple culture has It was completely suppressed by the powerful armed forces of ninjas. The five major countries have also completely embarked on the road of hegemony."

Shiraishi recalled the past history of the ninja world and expressed his feelings.

Except for important ceremonies, monks in temples in the five major countries will basically not take the initiative to attend.

Although the monks in these temples are not weak and have mastered the use of chakra, they are still too weak compared to the power of the Ninja Village.

Also because of the emergence of Ninja Village, the connection between these temples and the daimyo of the five major countries is closer than before. It can be said that they are a group of armed private soldiers raised by the daimyo of the five major nations.

"Master Shiraishi means...the monks from the Temple of Fire will join the war in the Land of Rain?"

Nonoyu heard the implication of Shiraishi's words.

She was once a Konoha ninja and a high-level espionage officer at the root of Konoha, so she naturally knew the details of the Fire Temple.

It is said that some mysterious immortal skills are passed down inside the Fire Temple.

Senjutsu... is a powerful technique released by fusing natural energy with chakra.

Although it is a rumor, it shows that the armed forces of these temples are not weak.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. What is Nagato going to do? Although there are troops from the Kingdom of Ghosts, which have restrained part of the energy of the Kingdom of Fire, the pressure he has to face is not small."

"Maybe he is hesitating in his heart. A big tree attracts wind. After all, Yuyin Village is not an Akatsuki organization, but something on the surface. If you act too tough, it will easily be coveted by various countries like Hanzo in the past. At this time, Hiding oneself is the best way. However, the Country of Fire will not give the Country of Rain such a chance. They do not need such a disobedient and out-of-control neighboring country."

Therefore, Nagato's heart was wavering.

Hesitating between the two choices of taking action and not taking action.

If we don't take action, the situation in the Kingdom of Rain will be even more difficult.

Taking action may bring about many unexpected changes, which may be good or bad.

Heaven and hell are between choices.

Hanzo's experience is a bloody example.

It is very sad that the strength of a country rests on only one person.

This is true for both countries and individuals.

In contrast, even though Konoha lacks high-end combat power, it is still feared by various countries. As long as the foundation of the ninja clan is still there and a real war begins, Konoha can still display impressive combat effectiveness.

"Is that really the case?"

Unlike the Kingdom of Rain, the Kingdom of Ghosts does not need to think so much.

As long as the bottom line of the Fire Nation is not touched, the Fire Nation will not dare to go to war with the Ghost Nation.

And interfering in the war in the Kingdom of Rain is obviously not the bottom line of the Kingdom of Fire.

After all, it is just a battlefield in a third country that does not belong to the Kingdom of Ghosts or the Kingdom of Fire.

"I have a general understanding of the situation in the Country of Rain. I will send others to manage it. You can go down and rest. The intelligence system stationed in the Country of Rain will be completed as soon as possible."

"yes."

No Naiyu didn't ask any more questions, bowed, turned and left.

◎

The land of rain.

In the cave, the surrounding walls are inlaid with candlesticks, which hold candles that light the fire, driving away the darkness in the cave.

Shanfeng followed Danzo into the temporary base at the root. In the center of the cave, there were ten ninjas standing there.

They are ninjas from the Daming Mansion of the Land of Fire.

Although Konoha Village is a symbol of the Fire Country's military power, the daimyo of various countries also understand that eggs are not put in one basket.

No matter how powerful the Ninja Village is, in some cases, the interests of the Ninja Village and the Daming Mansion are not consistent and there is a competitive relationship.

Even though Danzo had a good relationship with the Fire Nation Daimyo when he was young, in addition to friendship, they were also rivals.

But in today's environment, Konoha and Damingfu can only solve the international pressure by putting aside all prejudices and uniting with the outside world.

When Danzo came here, he didn't say anything. Standing there, he put terrible pressure on these ten ninjas, causing cold sweat to break out on their foreheads.

The name of Shinobi's Darkness. A ninja who knows this name should understand what kind of existence this is.

Ninja Darkness.

Compared to the majestic Hokage, this root leader is more awe-inspiring.

Act from the root and do whatever it takes. Whether it is the life of the enemy or the life of one of your own, they are all expendable objects, and there is an equal relationship.

This kind of organization that doesn't even care about itself is the most terrifying thing.

Danzo turned his head slightly to the back and signaled. Shanfeng nodded, took a step forward, took out an iron box from his arms, which contained capsule-shaped medicines, and distributed these medicines to ten ninjas.

The ten ninjas hesitated for a moment, then quickly swallowed the capsule. Then, the chakra that spread the evil aura erupted from the bodies of the ten ninjas, and behind them, tails of chakra materialization began to condense.

His lips and corners of his eyes turned black, as if he had turned into an evil demon.

They held their heads and fell to the ground in agony, twisting their bodies desperately and yelling crazily.

Shanfeng jumped back and put a safe distance away from these experimental ninjas.

Danzo looked coldly at the group of Damingfu ninjas who were receiving the power of the tailed beasts, with a cold look on his face, not caring whether these people lived or died.

Rather, this is the sacrifice that must be made for victory.

Because of that daimyo, he also had the idea of ​​agreeing.

In this world of great controversy, the Nation of Fire should also change its attitude towards other countries.

Weakness and compromise cannot bring peace. Only power and fighting can make the surrounding countries extinguish those ideas that should not arise.

The Land of Rain is the first step.

All future provocations should be responded to simply and swiftly, rather than finding some so-called balance, compromising with other countries, and giving up one's own interests.

"ah!"

One of the ninjas screamed in pain, his eyeballs were bloodshot and bleeding, and then curled up on the ground, motionless.

The berserk tail beast Chakra also quickly disappeared from his body.

Shanfeng shook his head slightly.

The first loser appeared, and the second must be soon.

Sure enough, after Shan Zhongfeng finished thinking, a second ninja with the same death condition appeared.

Then the third, the fourth... until the seventh person died, the remaining three lay exhausted on the ground, with fear and a hint of excitement in their eyes, breathing heavily.

"Congratulations on obtaining a brand new power. This power of yours will also become a necessary cornerstone for the growth of the Fire Nation."

Yamanakakaze showed a kind smile and gave the three ninjas the respect they deserved without hesitation.

Now that the interests of Daming Mansion and Konoha are united, the stronger the power of Daming Mansion, the safety of Konoha will be guaranteed.

At least when such a joint agreement will expire, it is estimated that it will be possible only if the kingdom of ghosts and the kingdom of thunder fall completely.

These two countries are the most active countries in the ninja world against the country of fire and Konoha.

Whenever there is a problem with the Nation of Fire and Konoha, these two countries must be the first choice.

Yamanakakaze is not worried at all that these three ninjas who have gained new power will betray the Daming Mansion.

These people are all 'ninjas' who were trained by the Daming Mansion since childhood.

Said to be a ninja, in fact, the status is similar to that of a brainwashed slave.

The difference is that they have the power of ninjas.

Compared with the ninjas kept captive by the isolated island merchants, the idea of ​​​​enslavement is more serious. It has been deeply rooted in his soul and will and cannot be eradicated.

When they were born, the idea they accepted was to be loyal to the daimyo, and the daimyo was their belief.

And once human beings lose their faith, they will become walking zombies and empty shells.

Shanfeng also had to lament the daimyo's skill. None of the people who sat in the leadership position of the five major countries were simple people.

"Let's bring in the next group of people. The three of them alone are not enough to turn things around. This time, we not only have to suppress Yuyin Village again, but also deter the Kingdom of Ghosts."

Danzo spoke firmly.

Although he wanted to defeat the Kingdom of Demons immediately, he also knew that this was very unrealistic for Konoha now.

Then, the only way to establish prestige is through the Kingdom of Rain, so that the Kingdom of Ghosts can restrain its actions against the Kingdom of Fire in the future.

Throughout the history of great ninja wars, the battles between big countries have always used the survival of small countries to determine each other's strength.

This time is no exception.

It can only be said that the Kingdom of Rain is very cleverly located in this area, and it has become a pawn in the hands of the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Fire very cleverly.

He really wanted to see how the Kingdom of Ghosts could break the blockade arranged by the Kingdom of Fire in the Kingdom of Rain without being able to enter directly.

Rely on those so-called new military ninja tools?

Danzo's eyes sparkled.

◎

"One hundred people were invested...only 21 survived. The completion rate is much better than the previous data."

After exiting the cave base, Shan Zhongfeng held a list with the names of seventy-nine people marked with red crosses, which means they died in the experiment.

"Has their body information been collected?"

Danzo was concerned about this issue.

"Yes, the collection has been completed. I believe that with this part of precious data, the headquarters will speed up the formation of the tailed beast capsule, and it can become a regular carrying item for the roots in the future. The overall strength of the roots will at least increase by one level. .”

The future is bright for Mountain Wind Feeling Roots.

This is also root's confidence to deal with the three generations of Hokage forces in the future.

Although there are strong calls within Konoha for Tsunade, the granddaughter of the first Hokage, to become the fifth Hokage, Yamafaze does not want her to come back and become the fifth Hokage.

There is only one Five Hokage who can bring strength to Konoha, and that is their root leader-Shimura Danzo.

The current Konoha does not need a leader who is tolerant and compromise, but needs a powerful faction to turn the tide.

Hokage, which is in power from the Sarutobi family, has brought many hidden dangers to Konoha.

The loss of countless high-end combat power, or leaving, in the final analysis, all happened when the Sarutobi clan was in power.

Konoha can no longer be controlled by such a ninja, otherwise it will bring death to Konoha.

"This can be expected."

The corner of Danzo's mouth curled up slightly, showing a rare smile.

The Tailed Beast Capsule is the second major research project of Genji after Mu Dun.

For this research project, he has put in countless painstaking efforts, and even exhausted the wealth accumulated by the Shimura clan for many years.

He does not hesitate to trade with the merchants of the isolated island just to raise expenses.

As long as the Tailed Beast Capsule can be used as a regular strengthening medicine for the root, then not only the root, but also the strength of the entire Konoha will be greatly improved.

This is one of the correct ways to use tailed beasts.

Since the tailed beasts are powerful and uncontrollable, another method should be adopted to integrate them into the ninja system and become Konoha's help.

Danzo was extremely disdainful of the way the Third Hokage treated the Jinchuuriki.

Now that we have determined that jinchūriki are weapons, we should spare no effort to develop the power of the tailed beasts, instead of just leaving them there and ignoring them.

That kind of training method is meaningless.

If the Hokage could directly hand over the jinchūriki to him for training, then Konoha would not be in such an embarrassing situation.

Of course, this is impossible.

The power of the tailed beast is too strong, allowing the roots to take control, which is something that all the internal forces in Konoha don't want to see.

However, as long as you become Hokage, then everything will be fine.

At that time, the mass production of tailed beast capsules can be accelerated, and 'artificial jounin' can be produced on a large scale. Only a thousand such jonins can be gathered to intimidate all countries in the ninja world.

The malicious attacks from the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Thunder can be returned tenfold when the time comes.

Hiruzen, the day is not far away when you will regret it! Danzo's heart was filled with joy, as if he saw his best friend's remorseful and lost look of decadence in front of him.

A mistake in his mind back then caused him to miss the position of Hokage. This time, he would not back down from the battle.

The person who inherited the true will of his teacher Senju Tobirama was Danzo Shimura.

He will also protect the Konoha Ninja Village!

"So, Danzo-sama, what should Kakashi Hatake arrange at that time? According to Kabuto's feedback, he seems to have a connection with Orochimaru."

Shanfeng asked this question.

"After tripping Hiruzen, give him another chance to choose again. Whether he chooses to continue to follow me or follow Orochimaru will determine his life or death."

Thinking of Kakashi's extraordinary talent, a ninja without any bloodline graduated from the ninja school at the age of five, became a chuunin at the age of six, and independently developed A-level difficult ninjutsu at the age of ten... A talent like Kakashi's As a ninja, Danzo still attaches great importance to him.

For such a talent, Danzo doesn't mind giving him a second chance.

It would be a shame to kill him.

"I'm worried that with Kakashi's strength..."

Shanfeng thought of Kakashi's strength. Although he had taken very few shots in recent years, it did not mean that the opponent was weak.

Precisely because he took very few shots, he couldn't tell the opponent's upper limit of strength.

"A brat like Itachi Uchiha can be manipulated by me, and Kakashi Hatake can't escape from my grasp either. Compared with this, Feng, please pay attention to the talents in the village. It's almost time again. It’s time to ask the major families for the date of the newcomer.”

Shanfeng nodded and quietly exited the room.
