Escape From Konoha

On the way back to the residential area, no one followed Shiraishi.

Whether it was in the open or in the dark, there were no extra guards placed beside him.

Of course, this is a very risky and unqualified behavior for a figure at the head of the military.

The world of ninjas is very unsafe, and unimaginably fierce battles are happening secretly every day.

Even within his own sphere of influence, sometimes there is no way to guarantee that he will not be assassinated.

This kind of rule is the same for ninjas at the Five Kage level.

For example, on the eve of the Third Ninja War, the Third Kazekage mysteriously disappeared in his village, which is a typical counterexample.

Therefore, no matter where the Five Shadows go, they will be accompanied by designated jounin and ANBU guards.

Because once something unexpected happens to the leader, it will directly put the Ninja Village into a dangerous situation without a leader.

It's just that Shiraishi has no need for arranging guards for himself.

As long as the Yin Divide Shadow Dancer never leaves his body, for Shiraishi, he is the safest protective force in the world.

Even if he encounters a powerful enemy that cannot be defeated by chance, as long as the shadow dancer can delay for a little time, Shiraishi can summon the other clones together.

What's more, Shiraishi didn't just act as a shadow dancer for himself.

You only have one life, and Shiraishi has been doing his best to use various means to protect himself, and he also adheres to the principle of perfection in defensive measures.

In view of this, Shiraishi didn't feel that he needed too many guards.

Even if there is an urgent order to be conveyed, with the progress of informatization in the Kingdom of Ghosts, communication is no longer a problem that bothers people.

At least Shiraishi doesn't think that in this ninja world, there are ninjas who can easily deal with him.

This also includes Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki organization.

He didn't know the specific power of the Samsara Eye, but Shiraishi knew where his upper limit was at the moment. Coupled with the many trump cards that he had slowly accumulated, sometimes, Shiraishi still had such an attitude of confidence.

If someone compares him to the third generation of Kazekage of Hidden Sand Village, who can be quietly taken away from his own village mysteriously, it is a big mistake.

The military area is not too far from the residential area where he is located, separated by a green park and a newly built commercial area.

Compared with Ziyuan City ten years ago, Ziyuan City, now the capital of the Kingdom of Ghosts, has already gone through many adjustments and expansions, and the scale of the city is no less than that of the traditional capitals of the five major countries.

But in terms of its prosperity, Ziyuan City, which has officially entered the era of industrialization, is naturally more prosperous than the capitals of the traditional five major countries.

There are constant business trips and all kinds of large stores. Although it has not reached the level of modernization in the previous life, it has opened up a big gap compared to the capitals of other countries.

It had just turned dark, the colorful lights had begun to light up, and the prosperity of the night market was gradually revealed. Shiraishi did not indulge in this scenery for too long.

For foreigners, they naturally feel novel and curious about everything here. They are completely sleepless and want to play all night long.

But for the natives who have long been accustomed to it, even if it is novel at first, once they become familiar with it, it will become nothing more than that.

As for the changes in Ziyuan City, the only thing that satisfied Shiraishi was that the greening facilities in Ziyuan City were very well done.

It's no wonder that there are all kinds of magical ninjutsu in this world, as well as mysterious substances that can directly change the desolate environment beyond current scientific understanding - the essence of the heretic golem fragments.

Thanks to these ninjutsu and treasures, Shiraishi doesn't have to worry about the city's greening problem.

When we returned to the residential area, it was completely dark.

There is an artificially cultivated lake in the residential area. Under the gentle blowing of the evening breeze and the illumination of the moonlight, the gently waving lake surface looks like a silver carpet.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Lei Mingwan with a spiral horn on his head. His hind limbs and butt were on the ground. He reached into the delicate lunch box with his forelimbs and gnawed on a piece of golden fried chicken with a delicious aroma. .

In addition, the lunch box also contains soft and delicious hot rice balls, bacon sushi, and a glass of heated milk.

Judging from the portion, it's not a lot and can completely fill an adult's stomach.

However, when he saw Shiraishi walking into the yard from the outside, Lei Mingmaru subconsciously retracted his paws and covered up the fried chicken nuggets in his hand. His eyes were very gleaming, as if he was wary of Shiraishi coming suddenly. Eat it for dinner.

Even if he is the great Creator, it is impossible to negotiate for him to give up the fried chicken nuggets in his hand.

"..."

Shiraishi suddenly felt that he had failed as a father.

We haven’t seen each other for so many days, shouldn’t we talk about the relationship between father and son? Thundermaru's defensive posture seemed to be guarding against thieves, which made Shiraishi a little confused as to how to speak.

"Father, you are back."

Lei Mingmaru came to Shiraishi at a trot, his tail wagging slightly behind his butt, looking like a flattering dog, like a domestic puppy, considerate and obedient... If you ignore the lunch box that he just hid at the speed of light .

"Um."

Bai Shi nodded calmly. No matter what, he would not be so depressed that he would compete with a pet for food.

With just a faint response, Shiraishi continued to move forward towards the living room.

Seeing Shiraishi simply leaving, Raimeimaru breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his dinner was safe tonight.

As a result, the tail behind the buttocks waggled even more cheerfully, like a powerful general returning from victory. He slowly walked back to the pet house in a leisurely and happy mood to enjoy the delicious meal that he had not finished just now.

"I'm back."

Unscrewing the doorknob without a safety lock, Shiraishi walked into the house and shouted from the entrance.

The TV in the living room was on, a sumptuous dinner was already set on the dining table, and busy sounds came from the kitchen, it must be Tianyu Nu.

Because he, Liuli, and Ayane were busy with their respective jobs most of the time, and neither of them were very good at cooking, Tianyu Nu was usually responsible for the three meals and cleaning at home.

Although she doesn't like to talk much, Tian Yunu has a very delicate and serious personality, and she is good at wind escape. She can sweep away the dust in the house just by controlling her strength.

In terms of cooking skills, he has also studied in depth, and has a level of cooking skills that is no less than that of a chef in a high-end restaurant.

"Welcome back, Shiraishi-kun, come over and eat quickly, otherwise, the food will be cold."

Ayane, who was only wearing ordinary home clothes, was sitting at the dining table. Her unique traditional feminine softness could be reflected in her figure. She was convex where she should be and curled where she should be. It can be said that this is the ideal in the minds of many women. figure.

In addition, although his appearance remains around the age of twenty, the youthful feeling has long since disappeared from his fair face. Even though Shiraishi has seen this scene countless times, he still feels a little bit of it every time he holds an appreciative attitude. expect.

Regarding this point, both Ayane and Liuli are the same.

only--

Shiraishi glanced at the living room and didn't find Liuli and Ichiji. He felt slightly strange and asked, "Aren't Liuli and Ichiji here?"

"After having tea with me in the afternoon, I said that I would take Yi Ji out to practice for a while. I will probably spend the night outside in the next few days."

Ayane filled a bowl of rice, placed it in front of Shiraishi's seat, and said to him.

"Is that so? Although I know that cultivation is important, the two of them seem to be a little too anxious."

Shiraishi took off his coat and placed it on the sofa not far away. Then he walked to the dining table and sat down, saying this.

According to his opinion, Yiji should be allowed to rest at home for a few days before exercising seriously. Anyway, there is no need to rush into this kind of thing.

"Probably because I'm worried."

Ayane took a piece of meat for herself.

"Worry?"

"When fighting against the ninjas of the Akatsuki organization in the Land of Waves, even though Liuli didn't say anything, she still couldn't help but worry in her heart. After all, the enemy's strength is there, and they are not just minions who can be easily dealt with."

Ayane expressed her opinion.

Unlike those who came from the war era, the ninjas of Kazuki's generation have not experienced any decent battles and have few opportunities to hone themselves.

Strength is linked to a variety of factors, such as the environment during the battle, mentality, and whether each has mature experience in dealing with the enemy. Finally, the type of technique is also included. There are some special battles that are not chakra. The more you have, the more you can achieve the ultimate victory.

Like her and Ruri, even if the amount of chakra is not comparable to that of a tailed beast, when they actually fight a tailed beast, they can rely on their own blood inheritance limits to directly crush them and subdue the tailed beast from the front.

In contrast, Yi Ji's control over her own power is only in its infancy.

If you don't improve potential into strength as soon as possible, then potential will always be potential, and it will be useless in real battles.

In order to prevent Yiji from encountering a strong enemy that she could not defeat with her own powerful chakra next time, Liuli took Yiji out in such a hurry to teach her how to develop her greatest advantage to fight the enemy.

The world of ninjas has always been constructed with blood and fire.

If you don't want to be eliminated by this cruel ninja world, you can only sharpen yourself and keep getting stronger.

"It looks like the rest of life will be very difficult. Not only Ichiji, but Asuka and Aya are also in a similar situation. The internship time in the police force seems to be coming to an end soon."

Shiraishi thought of something and said.

"Indeed, their internship period will end next week. After that, they will be sent out to see the real ninja 'battlefield'. I hope they can persevere by then."

Ayane nodded.

"Looking at you, you don't seem to be worried about Cai?"

Shiraishi smiled.

"Almost everything that should be taught to him has been taught, and the rest can only be understood by him. However, I believe that he will not disappoint me, and I will also look forward to his next growth. .”

Ayane ate her rice in small bites, her tone revealing her confidence in her child all the time.

It's not that you don't love your children, but sometimes spoiling is also a kind of harm.

Today's ninja world is not peaceful, and the fragile international balance may be broken at any time. All major countries seem to be keeping their peace, but in fact, in recent years, as the international situation has become tense, the investment in military funds by major countries has increased significantly every year.

Even Yanyin Village, which is conservative and old-fashioned, has been rapidly expanding its armaments and training ninjas in recent years.

According to inaccurate information, the demolition force formed by Iwagakure Village at this time was larger in scale than during the Third Ninja War. Moreover, the combat methods have also undergone comprehensive innovations and developed into a brand-new special operations ninja unit.

In response to these situations, the Kingdom of Ghosts naturally cannot remain indifferent.

In addition to Kumogakure and Konoha, Iwagakure Village is the third country among the big countries that has received special attention from the Kingdom of Demons.

As for Sunagakure... he has not fully recovered from the huge trauma he suffered a few years ago. It will take three to four years of development before he can return to his pre-war level. As a long-established Ninja Village of a great power, among the elite jounin class, Sunagakure now unsurprisingly occupies the bottom position in the Ninja Village of a great power.

It would not be difficult for the Demon Country to deal with three such ninja villages at once.

Even so, the Kingdom of Wind still firmly occupies the title of a big country, and its influence is not something that small countries can despise.

Under the alliance with the Country of Fire, Sunagakure and Konoha also formed a united front, causing a lot of trouble to the military personnel of the Country of Demons outside.

Based on this complicated international situation, Ayane only hopes that the child Ai can grow up as soon as possible and become an independent ninja, instead of living under their protection and enjoying rich food and clothing.

Shiraishi didn't say much. Although he was also concerned about the growth of the children, when it was time to let go, he also needed to learn to let go and let them fly freely.

The meal didn't take too long. After finishing the meal, Shiraishi walked to the bathroom, washed briefly, then walked to the second floor and entered the bedroom.

Turning on the light in the bedroom, the room was brightened immediately, and the curtains were tightly closed.

The bedroom is very simple, without much decoration. Because he has been very tired from work recently, Shiraishi does not plan to go to the study room to read before going to bed tonight, but chooses to go to sleep directly.

After all, the venue for the final joint Chunin exam needs to be set up in advance, and it is impossible to wait until the fire is imminent before setting it up in a hurry. In that case, it will only be a joke to outsiders.

It's just that although Shiraishi thought so, the reality didn't allow him to do so.

After he had taken off his outer clothes, put on his pajamas, and was about to climb onto the bed and start resting, there was a sound of soft footsteps behind him, and the sound of the door closing gently.

"Mr. Baishi is going to rest so early tonight?"

It was Ayane's voice, with a hint of doubt.

"Yeah, I have to get up early tomorrow, so I won't go to the study..."

While turning around, Shiraishi said to Ayane behind him.

It's just that after turning around and seeing Ayane's posture at the moment, her words suddenly stopped.

"Your clothes..."

Ayane's home clothes were changed into other clothes at some point.

The upper body is a strapless black sleeveless shirt, and the hands are wearing black gloves that reach past the elbows. On the back of the gloves, a hard protective piece made of fine steel is fixed.

The lower body is a black skirt of moderate length, which just covers the knees.

Of course, that's not the point.

The point is that the ninja uniform that Ayane is wearing at the moment is exactly the same as the ninja uniform that Ruri usually wears, not only in color but also in style.

"Hey, Shiraishi-kun. How do I look in this outfit? Is it as beautiful as Ruri?"

Ayane raised her arms, turned slightly on the spot, and then asked Shiraishi with a smile.

Shiraishi saw it, but seemed not to see anything.

"Where did you find this dress?"

Shiraishi coughed, although he didn't want to admit it, but at this time Ayane was indeed very charming.

"Of course I took the glass secretly. After all, I think Mr. Baishi needs to change to different flavors occasionally."

There was a considerate smile on Ayane's face, and she blushed slightly shyly.

"That's not necessary..."

"Does Baishi-kun still need to rest now? If Baishi-kun wants to rest, I won't bother you."

The smile on Ayane's face was like a little devil who succeeded in making trouble, with a bit of a naughty meaning.

"Well, I think the time... is still plenty, and I'm not too nervous."

That's right, at this time, the nightlife has just begun.

Shiraishi convinced himself in this way while getting closer to Ayane's body.

The wheezing in the nose suddenly became much heavier.

Ayane showed such a posture. Apart from longing to be loved by her husband, Shiraishi could not imagine the second possibility.

Looking at his wife with her long black hair spread freely and her innocent face already blushing from shyness, Shiraishi suddenly felt that tonight's night party would be extra long...

◎

"...This is too hard..."

Yiji's complaints echoed in the wilderness.

After the afternoon exercise, I felt like my whole body was falling apart, and my body was so sore that when Yiji complained, the expression on her face was a bit bitter.

"I can't stand this little pain. Compared with your father in the past, it's far behind."

Sitting around the campfire with Yi Ji, Liuli only scolded Yi Ji with slight dissatisfaction.

"Really? I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to the old man in the past."

Yi Ji was slightly curious.

"After all, resistance to beatings is one of the few advantages he has. Moreover, even if he is crying and miserable there, I will drag him out for training."

Liuli's words made Yi Ji shiver slightly.

"Is the point of dragging him out and beating him?"

For some reason, Yiji felt a little sympathetic to her old man's childhood.

Fortunately, he is a medical ninja, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to withstand this kind of high-intensity exercise.

No, just because he is a medical ninja, it might be even more miserable.

Because this means that you can heal yourself faster, then put into training, then heal, then put into training, and the cycle repeats endlessly...

"In our time, battles often occurred, and if you slacked off a little, you would die on the battlefield. Only by forcing yourself to grow can you survive in that cruel era. Whether it is strange or familiar faces, there are fewer and fewer faces every day. "

Liuli sighed.

During the Second Ninja War, many graduates of her class died heroically on the battlefield. Even if he survived, the war left a deep shadow in his heart.

Even she, the genius of the Uchiha clan in the past, had to go to the front line of the battlefield for Konoha. Under the leadership of Konoha White Fang, she went deep into the enemy's hinterland alone, walking on a tightrope all day long, with her head on her waist. Licking blood life.

The most touching feeling is not the passion and fear generated during the battle, but numbness.

Too many people died.

Whether it was ninjas or civilians who were accidentally affected, after seeing too many corpses like this, they became completely numb.

There is neither sympathy nor pity in my heart, I just hold the weapon and hold on to the idea of ​​killing the enemy to survive.

"Is that why, mom, you tolerate Aunt Ayane's existence so much?"

Yiji gently bit into the grilled fish on her dirty face.

Liuli was slightly silent.

Although he didn't express it directly, he already expressed this meaning in his heart.

After so many years of life and death, she was not only used to Shiraishi's existence, but also to Ayane's existence.

Although he doesn't like this woman very much, she is one of the few ninjas who can cooperate with him. Whether it is the past, present, or future, it may not change.

After all, life is short and a hundred years pass by in a hurry. Sometimes, having too many obsessions can lead to unreasonable distress.

"This kind of thing has nothing to do with you. After eating, take a rest quickly. Tomorrow's training will not be easier than today."

Liuli fiddled with the fire with a branch, and the firelight reflected in her dark pupils.

Yiji nodded, finished the grilled fish in her hands in a few seconds, and walked towards a cave not far away.

Because the training during the day was too strict, her clothes and face were stained with a lot of dust, but Yi Ji, who was extremely tired, did not pay attention to these details.

In the cave, Yi Ji lay on the dry straw, curled up, slowly closed her eyes, breathed evenly, and began to rest.

The bright moonlight shone down, and the evening wind in the wilderness began to become colder. You could even hear the faint howl of wolves in the distance.

Continuing to flick the bonfire with branches, Liuli also planned to take a rest.

Training Yi Ji is not easy, even with the amount of chakra she has, it is a bit too much.

Picking up the backpack placed next to him, he prepared to take out some insect repellent incense from the backpack to prevent insect bites at night.

But after opening the backpack, Liuli suddenly noticed something was wrong.

clothing.

The clothes she held in her hand for a change of clothes were not the ones she usually wore, but a white kimono that was carefully cut and had a very short hem, which could ensure that it could be passed up and that the legs could move flexibly.

These are obviously not my clothes.

"Why are the clothes of that white-eyed woman here with me?"

Liuli's face was full of surprise and confusion.
