Escape From Konoha

On the training ground, Shiraishi is practicing with Liuli in actual combat.

Since the last actual battle, it probably happened during the ninja school. In addition, Liuli's strength has also grown rapidly during this period, so Shiraishi's position on Liuli's strength has become a little vague.

Moreover, when entering the fighting state, Liuli's body already had a sharp murderous aura lingering naturally, which was proof of having seen blood.

Although Sakumo's team was established less than half a year ago, they have experienced more than a dozen battles, large and small. It can also be said that they have rich combat experience, and have confronted Jonin many times.

Even an ordinary ninja like Shiraishi, who is good at medical ninjutsu, has personally eliminated several ninjas, so during the sparring, Shiraishi was not frightened by Liuli's murderous aura.

But this doesn't mean that Liuli is easy to deal with, even if it's just an ordinary physical skill, it's like a thunderbolt.

Liuli, who was still in front of Baishi a second ago, flashed behind Baishi in an instant, and the leg whip carrying the strong wind swept towards Baishi's head with lightning speed.

Baishi had no choice but to bend down, press one palm on the ground, use the palm as the axis, turn his body, and roll over a few somersaults in the opposite direction to Liuli, keeping a safe distance.

Then he turned around immediately, and a well-crafted ninja sword fell out of his cuff, and it happened to fall into Shiraishi's hands.

Shiraishi is a ninja with serious chakra shortcomings. Therefore, in battle, if you can save chakra, try to save chakra as much as possible. Compared with ninjutsu, the chakra used in taijutsu is relatively much less.

In addition, his own body has already been permanently strengthened by new drugs developed on the basis of natural energy, and his comprehensive physical ability is far stronger than that of ordinary people. Only a little chakra is needed to qualitatively improve the speed and strength of physical skills. In the battle, you can quickly deal with ninjas who are seriously short of reaction and speed, especially the middle ninja.

Jōnin should be able to interrupt the performance of ninjutsu, but if you encounter a Jōnin who is proficient in physical skills, it is difficult to say whether you will win or lose. You must make a comprehensive judgment based on the actual situation, such as environmental factors, psychological quality, tactical arrangements, and physical skills. Kind and so on.

However, in the battle with Liuli, Shiraishi couldn't interrupt her ninjutsu. For a ninja who is proficient in physical jutsu, ninjutsu and illusion, if he can't crush in all directions, it is difficult to achieve any results.

What's more, Liuli still has the troublesome blood succession boundary of Sharingan.

The battle between the two in the training ground looked intense, but due to the speed, if someone was watching here, if the dynamic vision did not reach a certain level, it is estimated that only afterimages could be seen flashing across the eyes, and then came the There was a clang of metal, and nothing was to be seen.

Both of them don't need to use the teleportation technique, they can move at high speed with pure physical technique.

It should be said that he is using the instant body technique to fight all the time.

This is the convenience of Taijutsu Ninja, but since the speed of Taijutsu is kept at the highest level, the burden on physical strength and body will also increase rapidly.

Fortunately, the bodies of Baishi and Liuli have been improved by natural energy medicine, and their resilience, including their resistance, is also superb, allowing them to enter this high-speed combat state for a long time.

This is also the reason why Liuli was able to fight one-on-two and two-on-two in the first mission without losing the wind.

There are no more than two junin who are besieged together, including a junin who is proficient in physical arts, and they must be restrained from the front, otherwise it will be difficult to defeat her.

As the battle gradually deepened, Shiraishi's chakra was exhausted and he became short of breath.

When Liuli saw this, she immediately withdrew her hand, and Kunai twirled her finger, then put it in the ninja bag, ending the long-lost battle.

Compared with fighting with the side-to-side art of illusion, Liuli prefers physical and ninjutsu, which is a frontal attack fighting method.

Probably because this method of fighting is more straightforward.

Therefore, every time she fights Shiraishi with physical skills, she feels much happier.

Only this kind of flesh-and-blood fighting can be called the essence of fighting.

"It's really useless, it won't work for a long time."

"No way, I'm not like you Uchiha ninjas, Chakra is naturally much stronger than ordinary people."

Especially after awakening Sharingan, Chakra will increase further.

In addition to being a little tired after using Sharingan for a long time, Uchiha ninjas have never been short of Chakra in regular battles.

"However, next I plan to practice natural energy, and the situation should improve a lot."

"Isn't it already finished?"

"That was done in an experiment. I haven't tried to actively absorb natural energy. Now the risk is almost minimized, so I will use drugs to help me grasp the feeling of absorbing natural energy."

"Since the risk has become very low, then I also want to be together, I can't let you be in front of others alone."

Liuli also has a huge desire to conquer natural energy.

Natural energy is more powerful than ordinary chakra, even if it cannot be fused with chakra to form celestial chakra, the effect on increasing physical energy is no small matter.

Moreover, if you master the way to absorb natural energy, it means that the energy will never be exhausted.

Natural energy is everything in nature.

Water, air, trees...everywhere.

It can be said that as long as it is in nature, natural energy can be permanently supplied.

"Well, that's what I planned to do."

Baishi did not refuse, rather, it would have been impossible to get to where he is today without the funds, contacts, and location provided by Liuli.

The power of capital is invincible.

If you can't get along with anything, you can't get along with money.

Alas...it was obviously created by humans, but humans were enslaved by it. This world is really degenerate.

"Do you plan to go to Ayane's too?"

Liuli walked to the bench outside the training ground, picked up the wet towel there and wiped her face, and then said this sentence out of the blue, the tone was not very cold, but it gave people a very terrible sense of oppression.

"...Ah, well, that's right... because the white eyes have many uses. Ayane also helped me solve a lot of research problems with her white eyes."

Shiraishi looked away with a guilty conscience.

I thought that after Liuli came to him that day, the matter could be unraveled like this, but I didn't expect to bring it up again, and Baishi felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

Wait, why the embarrassment?

Isn't it normal for teammates and classmates to help each other?

Shiraishi couldn't help but began to ask back.

Are you making things too complicated?

"Yeah?"

Liuli looked up at the blue sky, then stroked the long black hair beside her ear, turned and left.

Shiraishi stayed where he was thinking.

What does 'is it' mean?

Women's minds are really difficult to understand, whether it's Ayane or Liuli, their personalities are easy to understand, but sometimes they make people feel inexplicable when they speak.

The ancient saying "a needle in the sea of ​​a woman's heart" is really a famous saying from ancient times.

"Forget it, the most important thing now is to practice natural energy..."

◎

The grass and leaves are green, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and it is full of vitality.

Surrounded by extremely tall toad stone statues, this is a place like a paradise in the world - Mt. Miaomu.

Yulongdi Cave and Shibone Forest are known as the three holy places in the ninja world, and it is also one of the birthplaces of inheriting ancient fairy arts.

Since ancient times, countless powerful ninjas have visited this place, wanting to practice fairy arts. Some people buried this place and became the setting of the toad stone statue in Mt. Miaomu.

But with the advent of the ninja village era, although the existence of celestial arts is still recorded in the classics of the major ninja villages, in fact, with the death of the first Naruto Senjujuma, celestial arts have already become legends in the ninja world. It's hard to tell whether it's true or not.

Up to now, there has never been a ninja who can master the art of immortality, and he has shined in the ninja world war.

"Boss Fukasaku."

That was a human voice that shouldn't appear in the Three Holy Lands Mt. Miaomu.

Wearing Konoha's jonin uniform, wearing a Konoha ninja forehead protector on his head, there are two bright red vertical marks under the corners of his eyes, he is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with white hair, and his face shows what a young man should have Vigorous and confident.

As soon as he came here, he greeted the toad at the gate of the main hall deep in the deep mountains and birdsong.

This toad was waiting for him in front of the main hall. He was wearing a gray robe, with green skin, and his height was only about the size of a human child, but his body gave off an extremely extraordinary aura, even though it was still a toad.

"Oh, it's Ziraiya, is it finally here?"

It clearly saw the human youth who came here to greet, with a kind smile on the old face.

This young ninja is none other than Konoha Shinobi Jiraiya who signed a psychic contract with the Three Holy Lands, Mt. Myogi.

Along with Tsunade and Orochimaru, he is a powerful ninja listed as the Sannin.

He is also a disciple of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the third generation of Konoha Hokage, and an excellent Konoha Jominin who inherited the will of fire.

Not long ago, he had just concluded the three-year contract with the Land of Rain, and not long after he returned to Konoha, he was about to go to the front line of the Land of Fire to fight, but he received a message from the Herald Frog from Mount Miaomu, asking him to come to Mount Miaomu as soon as possible. trip.

"Well, Boss Fukasaku, what happened? Why did you call me at this time?"

"I'm sorry to let you come here at such a critical moment, but this is the order of the elder, and there is nothing I can do about it."

Sento Fukasaku knew that a war was breaking out in the ninja world, and Konoha was one of the participants. As Konoha's few high-end Jōnin, Jiraiya would naturally go to the front line to fight the enemy.

Jirai didn't mean to blame Fukasaku Immortal, as one of the two great Immortals of Mount Miaomu, when he was cultivating in Mount Miaomu, it was also Immortal Fukasaku who taught him the art of immortality... Even though he failed in the end, he still had no idea about the art of immortality .

But considering that this is a legendary fairy art, it is certain that it will be difficult.

He has surpassed many people without turning into a toad stone statue.

"What, Miss Shima isn't there?"

Zilai also saw that another celestial being from Mount Miaomu, Zhima, was not there, so he asked.

Immortal Shima is the wife of Immortal Fukasaku, and an extremely powerful Immortal in Mt. Miaogi. They are usually inseparable, so Zirai also asked this question.

"She went out to buy groceries."

"That's it. That is to say, it's Immortal Toad who came to look for me this time, isn't that the case?"

"I don't know the specifics, but the master ordered it like this, come in with me."

Immortal Fukasaku led the way ahead, so Jiraiya had no choice but to follow and entered the hall together.

In the huge and magnificent hall, directly in front of the gate, there is an unbelievably large reclining chair, and an equally unfathomably large giant old toad is lying there.

It had a big pipe in its mouth, and even with its eyes closed, the smoke rings enveloped the hall in circles, filling the hall with clouds and mist, as if in a fairyland.

Immortal Fukasaku jumped onto the high platform under the big toad's right hand in twos and twos, clasped his hands together, and looked solemn.

Jilai also stood still in front of the big toad, looking up.

No matter when you look at it, this shockingly large toad looks like it is about to die with half of its foot in the coffin.

"Immortal Toad, I'm here."

Jilai also yelled from below.

The old toad didn't respond at all, and continued to blow smoke rings with a happy expression.

Sento Fukasaku's solemn expression didn't last long, he took a deep breath helplessly, turned his head, and used the sage chakra to spread his voice louder:

"My lord, Zilai has already come!"

Only then did the old toad take a slow look at the Fukasaku Immortal next to him, and then saw Jiraiya below, and only then did he react.

"Have you brought everyone? Sorry, I almost fell asleep."

"..."

Not nearly, but already asleep.

"Immortal Toad, is there something wrong this time?"

The Great Toad Immortal is the master of Miaomu Mountain. He has an incredible ability to see the future. He once made prophecies for him and fulfilled them one by one.

Being able to see through the future, it feels like a real fairy is nothing more than that.

Especially after seeing some things in the Land of Rain this time, he firmly believed in the ability of the Great Toad Immortal.

"About this matter, Zilai...what's your name?"

Immortal Toad suddenly asked such words, embarrassing Jiraiya and Immortal Fukasaku.

"My lord, this is Jiraiya. You predicted something for him before, our contractor of Mount Miaomu."

Immortal Fukasaku added helplessly.

"Oh, I remembered, it's Xiao Zilaiya, I almost didn't remember."

To be honest, Zilai also didn't want to believe that such a toad with dementia could be a so-called immortal.

But the prophecy forced him to believe it.

Moreover, the fairy art of Mount Miaomu is also true, not a fabrication.

"Little Ziraiya, I'm looking for you this time, and I have something else for you to do."

"What's the matter? Is it still about the Son of Prophecy?"

Zilai also thought that only such a big event was worthy of the Great Toad Immortal asking him to come over in person.

"It's not directly related to the Son of Prophecy. It's just that I recently dreamed of a very weird prophecy dream..."

"Weird prophetic dream?"

"Yes, the kind of weirdness that can't be said."

The big toad fairy's tone still didn't fluctuate much, and he looked weak as if he was half dead.

"Then this weirdness is..."

"Accompanied by extremely tragic wars, ninjas will disappear from the world. Death and war will burn the entire ninja world like never before."

"!?"

Jiraiya and Fukasaku Sento were startled.

Even the prophecy of the Son of Prophecy has never been so extreme.

Because there are two outcomes for the Son of Prophecy, one is destruction, and the other is a newborn peace.

And as long as the Son of Prophecy is properly educated and guided, the probability of peace in the ninja world will be greater.

But this time, what was given was directly the result of destruction, and there was no room for people to choose.

"That...disappearance means..."

Ji Lai also couldn't accept such a sudden change for a while, and there was urgency on his face.

"In other words, all the ninjas in the ninja world, including Konoha, will disappear from the ninja world..."

"Konoha...disappeared..."

Zilai has also become flustered.

When it comes to Konoha, he can no longer calm down.

"What's the reason? It's the son of prophecy..."

Zilai also asked anxiously.

Thinking of staying in the Land of Rain for three years this time, the successor of the Samsara Eye who was accepted as his disciple, Zirai also believes that he is the ninja who will bring changes to the ninja world.

Because it was the reincarnation eye of the Immortal of the Six Paths, which was why Zilai believed in the prophecy of the Immortal Toad more and more.

But after spending three years on my own, it should be good enough to guide me. Could it be that...

"This matter has nothing to do with the Son of Prophecy."

Hearing what Immortal Toad said, Zilai also heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately not.

"Then why exactly?"

"I have no idea."

Immortal Toad said simply.

"ha?"

I was also confused.

have no idea?

What kind of answer is that?

"The person who has brought absolute destruction to the current ninja world is now among the Konohas. You have to investigate carefully. Please, Ziraiya..."

In Konoha! ?

Ji Lai was also surprised.

How is this going? The person who brought destruction to the ninja world is Konoha?

who is it?

Is there such a terrible person among the leaves?

If so, why didn't I notice it at all?

That should be the powerful Konoha ninja.

"Immortal Toad, I—"

"Hoo hoo..."

Only the sweet snoring of the big toad fairy could be heard from the seat.

Jiraiya, Fukasaku Immortal: "..."

Isn't the prophecy just now a joke dream?

But I think it's impossible, if it's an ordinary dream, Immortal Toad wouldn't be so bored to call him over.

"But Konoha is so big and there are so many ninjas, how can I find them..."

Jiraiya's sigh sounded in the hall.

What's more, he is going to the battlefield soon, how can he have time to do this kind of thing?

Besides, it is not sure whether it is a man or a woman. If he wants to check each one, he will not be able to do it even if he is exhausted.

Want to ask Sarutobi-sensei for help? Zilai also began to plan.
