Escape From Konoha

A corner of the forest.

A figure quickly shuttled through the forest, followed by three figures behind him.

It was approaching him at a very close speed.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

Almost only the remnants of the seal could be seen. A huge and scorching fireball had been ejected from the mouth. The forest was suddenly enveloped in firelight. The faces of the three people chasing behind them were flushed by the firelight.

One of the figures quickly broke away from the queue. He gathered the power of Byakugan, raised his right hand, and extended his index and middle fingers. He concentrated chakra on the fingers. When the fireball approached, the two fingers joined together and made a quick stroke in front of him.

The fireball was split in half from the middle and disappeared into the air.

Seeing that his powerful fireball technique was so easily broken, the man did not show any surprise.

A powerful force burst out from under his feet, causing his movement speed to surge in an instant, and he rushed towards the white-eyed boy.

"Back to the days!"

The white-eyed boy in mid-air had no platform to move his body. He could only turn his body and use the high-speed rotation of his body to create a chakra storm and collide with the man.

boom!

The two chakras collided with each other in mid-air, and a strong shock wave suddenly erupted, spreading in all directions, and the leaves rustled.

However, it seems that the man's Chakra strength is even stronger, and the white-eyed boy's face turned slightly pale, obviously he was injured by the man when fighting against the Chakra strength.

Even after rotating, the hardness and destructive power of the chakra ball are strengthened, but the strength gap between the two is too large. Even with advanced skills, it is difficult to suppress the man's strength from the front.

"Cai, bow your head!"

Hearing his brother's shout behind him, Cai lowered his head without thinking.

In fact, even without shouting, Cai could see what was happening behind her through her eyes.

It was a kunai that flew at an astonishing speed, passing through Cai's head and piercing the man's body.

The man's expression changed slightly, he took out a kunai and quickly caught the kunai flying from a distance.

boom!

It was obviously just a kunai, but when the two kunai collided together, they made an extremely terrifying explosion sound.

The kunai that flew over was wrapped with lightning of astonishing power, and exploded the moment it came into contact with the man's kunai.

The man's figure began to retreat in embarrassment. Only the handle of the kunai in his hand was left, and there were bloodstains on his arms scratched by the exploded kunai fragments.

Not only that, there were also bloodstains cut by kunai fragments on his face.

The man touched the wound on his face with his fingers. When he took it off, his fingers were stained with fresh blood.

The man couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face, and then he took a breath with a solemn expression.

If I was too careless, as a Jonin, I would probably fall over in the hands of these three brats.

Even if it is a guiding battle, it cannot be taken lightly.

Moreover, just firing a kunai has such a powerful power, which is what shocked the man the most.

Although he didn't know what method was used to make Kunai obtain such amazing speed and impact, but right now, he didn't have much time to think about the principle.

Some kind of 'scientific' theoretical knowledge must have been applied to use Thunder Release to enhance the power of Kunai.

And that is precisely the shortcoming of traditional ninjas like him who have not fully accepted scientific knowledge.

In fact, the ninjutsu performed by this science-based theory is very different from traditional ninjutsu, and it is also a blind spot for many ninjas.

Without hesitation, the man began to gather chakras in his eyes, and the scarlet three-goed jade sharing sharing eye appeared, and his aura was completely different from just now.

"Are you finally willing to use the Sharingan?"

A man and a woman came to Cai's side.

The man was about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was wearing a white coat and a monocle on his face. His face was indifferent and his eyes were calm. People couldn't understand what was going on in his heart. He kept his eyes open throughout the battle. Poker face condition.

And the woman was the same age as Cai, twelve years old, with bright red beautiful long hair shawl to her waist, and wearing a pair of brown thin-rimmed glasses. Although she was young, she gave off a smart and intellectual feeling.

These two people are Uchiha Asuka and Uzumaki Kaoru from the Uzumaki clan.

The two of them walked to stand next to Sai, and looked at Uchiha Yan, the instructing Jonin of their team.

"I thought this was just a simple guidance battle, and it would be fine to deal with it a little... But if the opponent is the three of you, then it's another matter. Be careful, the next battle will not be so easy."

The man took a deep breath and his eyes became completely serious.

"This is interesting, but be careful, it's up to us to say it!"

With a wave of Asuka's palm, a kunai detached from his palm again, lightning flashed in the air, and kunai flew to Uchihayan at a faster speed than before.

Seeing through the trajectory of the kunai's movement, Uchiha Yan suddenly disappeared in place just before the kunai was about to hit his body.

The kunai penetrated the afterimage left by Uchiha Yan on the spot, penetrated the trees behind, and finally hit the rocks by the river.

With a roar, the rock shattered, and the kunai stabbed on the ground was left with only a faint flash of electric light, and the surrounding vegetation was swept away.

If you get hit by that thing, you'll be dead right away. When Uchiha Yan heard the huge explosion behind him, he paid a higher attention to Asuka.

If it was an attack created using science, then Asuka's strength might need to be re-rated.

However, I didn't see the other party using it in the previous graduation exam, probably because it was too lethal, so I felt there was no need to target those examiners.

After all, he couldn't take any non-injury or death moves, so he was really not suitable to deal with the examiner in the graduation exam.

The moment Asuka made his move, Sai and Xiang Rin also moved to surround Uchiha Yan from the left and right.

Uchiha said he was calm in the face of battle. Although the insight of the Sharingan was not as good as the Byakugan, he could still cope with the three genin.

Although the strength displayed by these three genin can no longer be simply regarded as genin level.

"Earth Escape·Yellow Spring Marsh!"

Xiang Rin clasped his hands together, his red hair flying, and Uchiha Yan, who was fighting in close combat with Sai, suddenly twisted his feet.

The soft mud wrapped around his feet, causing his body to sink into the swamp step by step.

"Bagua·Kongzhang!"

Ai, who exited the swamp one step ahead, was not affected by Xiang Rin's technique. After jumping into the air, he aimed mercilessly at Uchiha Yan's body and fired a powerful air cannon with his palm.

The electric light flashed, and a kunai flew from a distance at an alarming speed under the control of the flying bird.

The timing and position are well grasped.

It’s unbelievable that this team, which only took a day or two to work together, can work together so well.

And Uchiha Yan, who was the guide of the three of them, couldn't help but sweat on his face. Did these three brats want to kill him?

Every blow was a vicious killing move directed at his vitals, and he didn't intend to show mercy at all.

Boom!

The terrifying chakra burst out in an instant, mud flew everywhere, kunai wrapped with lightning, and powerful air cannons, all stagnated in the air for a moment.

Uchiha Yan's figure disappeared from the mud, leaving a huge pothole that shocked the three of them.

"Fire Escape·Extinguish Fire!"

A voice full of air sounded from the depths of the woods.

Asuka and the three turned their heads to look, and saw the overwhelming sea of ​​flames spreading from the forest, and rushing towards the three of them at an extremely fast speed.

The three of them retreated wildly together, the range of the technique was too large, no matter how much they retreated, they would eventually be attacked by the sea of ​​flames.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"

Xianglin made mudras with both hands, and spewed out torrents from his mouth, gathering into a thick water wall in front of the three of them, blocking the sea of ​​fire.

However, the wall of water couldn't bear the momentum of the raging flames at all, and was quickly defeated.

However, although the wall of water dissipated, it had bought enough time for the three of them to leave the range of the sea of ​​fire before that.

Although the three of them were in a bit of a panic when they escaped from the attack of the sea of ​​fire, their injuries were not serious, but their physical strength was exhausted.

They didn't expect the other side to use only one move to sweep away the previous disadvantages and gain the upper hand.

This made the Asuka trio realize the strength of Junin.

Even if they unite, they can only occupy a temporary advantage. Once Uchiha Yan seizes the opportunity to counterattack, the advantage will be completely lost.

In particular, Uchiha Yan is not an ordinary ninja.

Born in the Uchiha clan, he also cultivated natural energy. In the kingdom of ghosts, he can be regarded as a rare high-strength jounin.

The three of them were disgraced by the huge wave of fire. They panted and looked at the land in front of them that was blackened by the sea of ​​fire. Uchiha Yan walked slowly on the charred land.

He also has some dust on his body, but compared to the three of them, his condition is much better.

The scarlet Sharingan swept across the three of them sharply, and a strong fighting spirit emerged from the Sharingan, which was self-evident.

The three Asuka glanced at each other, gritted their teeth and rushed forward together.

Uchiha Yan also did not use ninjutsu. He held the kunai with one hand and used taijutsu to step forward to attack the three of them.

◎

Because all the work was done, Shiraishi was leisurely making tea in the office with the fine tea he brought from home.

Just when he was enjoying a rare afternoon of laziness, the office door was opened.

Uchiha Yan, who was wearing a coat of paint, walked in. From the tired look on his face, it could be seen that he had obviously gone through a tough battle before, otherwise he would not have come here in this posture.

Seeing Uchiha Yan's image, Shiraishi was slightly surprised and asked: "It's just a simple guidance battle. As a jounin, you don't need to make yourself so embarrassed, right?"

Uchiha Yan smiled bitterly and replied: "If it is a simple guidance battle, it is indeed not a problem. But the strength of those three people is a bit beyond my expectation, which can be regarded as the result of me underestimating the enemy. As expected of those two His son, that little girl from the Uzumaki clan should not be underestimated."

Shiraishi was even more surprised when he heard Uchiha Yan say this.

Uchiha Yan is an elite jounin of the Uchiha clan, Shiraishi knows very well how strong Uchiha Yan is.

It can be said without hesitation that even among the military experts, Uchiha Yan's strength can be ranked among the first-class level.

Such an elite ninja actually said that conducting a guidance battle against three genin was tiring.

Although Shiraishi knew that Asuka and Sai, as well as Uzumaki Kaoru, who was a new generation genius of the Uzumaki clan, were not ordinary genin, that was not the case.

"How much force did you use in this guidance battle?"

Shiraishi paused and asked with a strange expression.

Uchiha Yan thought for a while and replied: "Thirty percent... no, probably 40% of the force was used."

Even with 40% of his strength, it was still enough to barely deal with an average jounin.

"Forty percent strength... I didn't expect the three of them to be able to do this. It's a bit beyond my expectations. It seems that I've been a little lax in paying attention to the growth of Asuka and Cai recently."

Shiraishi took a sip of tea, and after being surprised, he returned to calm, and then continued to say to Uchiha Yan:

"Regarding the detailed situation of the three of them, I will write a report after I go back tonight and send it to me tomorrow."

"good."

Uchiha Yan nodded. It was not difficult for him to write a report.

"Next, let's focus on the tactical training of their three-person team. Although the Chunin Exam has a stage to show individual strength, team ability is also a criterion for assessment."

Although the general regulations for the joint Chunin exam have not yet been finalized, in Shiraishi's view, it is a certainty that countries will jointly hold the Chunin exam.

And if the Kingdom of Ghosts wants to shine in this joint chunin exam, it must send out excellent ninjas in order to get more applause in the joint chunin exam.

The team that the three Asukas are in is the ace team selected by the Kingdom of Demons in this joint chuunin exam.

Therefore, Shiraishi hopes that Asuka's team can achieve perfection, no matter in terms of individual ability or teamwork ability.

"Yes, I will properly arrange this point. However, I still have a question, that is, how to proceed with the training plan for the three of them. To be honest, there is not much to offer from the Kingdom of Ghosts. The stage where the three of them engage in actual combat. No matter how much I train them, it is just training based on protecting their lives, not a real battle."

Uchiha Yan asked what the problem was.

Because the system of the Kingdom of Ghosts is too efficient and unified, all sources of chaos within this country will be ruthlessly suppressed by the military.

Even the power of the underground black market cannot get involved here, which shows how far-reaching and terrifying the Kingdom of Ghosts' control over the area under its control is.

Similarly, there is no soil for gangs to survive here.

Once discovered, they will be uprooted.

This has also led to the extremely poor relationship between the Kingdom of Ghosts and its allies and the underground black market.

This kind of thing is indeed a good thing for the people of the country.

However, because of being too strict against the black industry, there is a lack of chaos in the country. Even the members of the security force, most of the time, deal with trivial matters.

Just dealing with civil disputes is obviously impossible for ninjas to achieve real growth.

Ninjas are essentially more powerful soldiers.

Only by fighting can ninjas truly grow.

And the Ninja World War, which can best hone the fighting ability of ninjas... The Kingdom of Demons currently has no need for this.

Even if there is a need for war, it is impossible for students who have just graduated from school to be sent directly to the front to fight against the enemy.

"What you said is indeed the problem. Regarding this matter, I will temporarily adjust it this year. You first take the three of them to the security team to report, and join the security team as a temporary security member. After two months , take them to the underground black market to pick up some simple tasks, and I have already asked people to complete their identities. At that time, let’s hone them outside the sphere of influence of the ghost kingdom.”

Not only Asuka's group, but Shiraishi also made the same arrangement for the rest of the groups that will take part in the joint Chunin exam this year.

The work in the security team can further improve the tacit understanding of the team members in doing things.

After having a sufficient team understanding, under the leadership of Jonin, from easy to difficult, accept the reward task of the underground black market.

Over the years, Baishi has more or less used this platform to hone the recruits of the kingdom of ghosts.

In the absence of war, the underground black market is a natural training battlefield, which can sharpen the claws of recruit ninjas and make them sharper.

Fighting is an inevitable part of life that ninjas can never avoid.

In the past era, a ninja who had not killed anyone could not be called a ninja.

Only those who have experienced the real bloody storm are ninjas.

Even though the times have changed, the essence of ninja has not changed.

"Is it an underground black market? If it's that kind of place, I'm afraid in terms of safety..."

Uchiha Yan frowned slightly.

He has never been a bounty hunter, but he also knows the underground black market, where fish and dragons are mixed together, and there are all kinds of dangerous people.

In terms of risk, it is impossible to make an accurate assessment because of the intricate environment.

"In terms of safety, I will consider it carefully. So far, we have placed a lot of nails there. This time, they will also secretly escort this group of recruits. As for the control of the situation on the surface, it is you guys It’s something that the jounin who leads the team needs to consider.”

Shiraishi said slowly.

With the energy currently possessed by the Kingdom of Ghosts, it is completely possible to mobilize part of the resources of the underground black market. Before accepting a reward task, it will conduct an intelligence investigation in advance, fundamentally eliminate dangerous reward tasks that do not match the content, and avoid risks.

"I see."

Uchiha Yan nodded solemnly.

Even with the secret protection of experienced hunters, Uchiha Yan also knew that this was not an easy task.

Because it is outside the sphere of influence of the Kingdom of Ghosts, taking safety precautions in advance can only minimize the risk, rather than directly eliminate it.

In other words, once an uncontrollable accident occurs in any part of the process, it is likely that the headquarters of the Kingdom of Ghosts will not provide timely support and cause unplanned casualties.

However, going to the underground black market to gain experience, Uchiha Yan did not object to Shiraishi's proposal.

Because this is exactly the life that ninjas need to face.

Real gold is not afraid of fire. Only with real blood and fire can a first-class ninja be polished.

Sometimes over-protection is not a good thing. After all, what the ghost country needs is not flowers in the greenhouse.

◎

Among the hospitals in the military region.

Asuka, Cai and Xianglin were sitting in the ward with bandages on their bodies.

"That bastard teacher is so harsh. She is a girl, so she doesn't know how to show mercy..."

Touching the bandage on her calf with her fingers, Xianglin hissed and gasped.

Despite treatment with medical ninjutsu, the pain at the injured location continued.

Therefore, Xiang Rin couldn't help but complain about Uchiha Yan, a mentoring Jonin who didn't know how to show mercy to her.

"I think that's a good thing, I didn't punch you in the face."

Asuka covered the eye without the monocle, which had turned into a dark circle and was swollen.

Sure enough, Feiniao's words made Xianglin shudder.

"Senior Asuka, you are really evil-minded. In fact, you have a sinister personality. No wonder you got a black eye from that bastard teacher...and it seems that you are from the same family?"

Xianglin glanced at Feiniao's dark circles and complained harshly.

Feiniao didn't respond to Xianglin's complaints. He just continued to take the potion and apply it on himself to eliminate the pain in his eyes.

"Brother Feiniao, are your eyes okay? They look very painful."

Cai glanced at Asuka's dark circles and was concerned about his injuries.

Among the three, he was the strongest and suffered the least injuries. He only had a bandage wrapped around his right arm and wrist.

"It's nothing, just take a day off and you'll be fine. And if you get injured during training, aren't you used to this kind of thing in school? It's nothing."

Asuka signaled the two not to worry.

Regarding Asuka's words, Cai and Xianglin nodded in approval.

Indeed, this kind of practical training has been experienced countless times in the ninja school.

Even Feiniao, who often skipped classes in school, mostly missed theoretical classes and never missed a single class in practical classes.

"But fortunately, the guidance class is finally over, and now we have to carry out the so-called mission."

Xiang Rin said enthusiastically, having a strong sense of expectation for the next genin career.

"Xianglin, I advise you not to imagine that it is a beautiful thing. The tasks performed by ninjas are different from the trivial matters we handled during our internship in the police force."

Asuka reminded.

"It's okay, I'll get used to it soon."

Xianglin smiled confidently.

"What about killing people? Can you adapt to this kind of thing?"

Asuka suddenly made a sound.

Sure enough, when Feiniao said the word "kill", Xianglin's body stiffened slightly, like a deflated ball sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, and became silent.

For someone who grew up in a peaceful era, even if she had mastered the skills of a ninja, she was still a little confused when she suddenly had to do something like murder.

"...Brother Feiniao, if you talk to a girl like this, you will be single for the rest of your life."

Seeing the somewhat silent atmosphere, Cai broke the awkward atmosphere in the ward.

"It doesn't matter, I have no plans to fall in love at the moment."

Asuka shrugged nonchalantly.

Xianglin snorted and glared at Asuka in displeasure: "Me too, but I'm different from Senior Asuka. I like super handsome guys."

"Just say that I'm ugly and don't fit your taste."

Feiniao glanced at Xianglin helplessly. He looked very quiet and intellectual, but his inner nature was not as quiet as he appeared on the surface. Instead, he was the lively type.

Getting along with this kind of girl is what Asuka is least good at dealing with.

"Senior Asuka is quite self-aware in this regard."

Xianglin took the lead in the words and hummed twice.

"I hope you can always maintain this optimistic attitude. You can only be relaxed now. Dad, that guy, will definitely not let us simply transition to the genin stage and enjoy these few happy days. "

Thinking of the hard life he was about to face, Asuka sighed for a moment.
