Escape From Konoha

"Sasuke...what are you doing here?"

In the empty room, Sasuke was the only one laughing.

This kind of laughter gave Naruto a very uncomfortable feeling, as if he had lost his human sanity.

So, Naruto bravely took a step forward and wanted to get an explanation from Sasuke.

However, Sasuke still seemed not to hear the sound coming from behind. The three magatama Sharingan he opened was still staring at the scroll in his hand. Although the laughter began to stop slowly, from the corner of his slightly opened mouth, The sneer whisper continued.

The contents on the scroll were an eyesore to him.

Even my eyes were stung by the content above.

Uchiha intends to carry out an armed coup.

High-level orders.

Itachi obeyed the will of the village and killed a clan, preventing the outbreak of civil war with one person.

everything.

all.

All things made Sasuke come out of his confusion.

I vaguely remember the family atmosphere a few years ago, full of all kinds of weirdness and calmness.

The conversation between his father Fugaku and his brother Itachi at the dinner table was also full of gunpowder, as if it did not seem like a conversation that should be between father and son.

Itachi, the older brother who joined ANBU, often turned a deaf ear to his father's words under the excuse of 'mission'. No matter how harshly his father scolded him, he could not change his mind.

The clan had been filled with unfavorable words for Itachi for some time.

Shisui died suddenly.

The tribesmen later came to look for trouble.

Scene after scene, everything was quickly filtered through Sasuke's mind, extracting very important information.

And those memories cannot be faked, let alone artificially forged.

Then, the family's demise came as promised.

The whole night, there was no support from anyone, as if the territory of the Uchiha clan was directly cut off from the outside world.

But how is this possible?

The clan area where Uchiha is located, no matter how remote the village is, is still within the territory of the village.

If only one or two people, or more than a dozen people, were assassinated, they might be able to hide until dawn before being noticed.

However, it was not one or two people or a dozen people, but dozens, hundreds, or even more.

Among them are many elite ninjas, jounin, and chuunin who have joined the guard force.

Not to mention, there is also the Sharingan, a powerful pupil type blood successor limit.

Let me ask, how could such a huge ethnic group be quietly wiped out in Konoha?

Who is Itachi's helper?

Why could he avoid Konoha's sight and go through a whole night of massacre without anyone noticing, until the ANBU belatedly arrived the next day and discovered all this?

There are too many unreasonable things.

So much so that it is difficult to explain clearly without adopting such logic.

Immediately, the gloomy face of an old man appeared in Sasuke's mind.

In the right eye of that gloomy face is a Mangekyo Sharingan that surpasses the three Magatama Sharingan.

Now, all that's left is decisive evidence.

evidence……

The corners of Sasuke's mouth raised slightly, revealing a dark smile.

He put down the scroll in his hand and stepped forward.

Go to the secret door leading deeper into the stronghold.

The thunderbolts converged and emitted a shrill, shrill cry of birds.

Sasuke twisted the smile on his face while waving his right hand.

boom!

With a huge noise, the secret door was blasted open by Chidori's lightning.

Without hesitation, Sasuke ran out and entered the passage behind the secret door.

"Wait, Sasuke!"

Naruto and the others gave chase.

Sasuke's unusual behavior made them instinctively aware that something was wrong.

But before passing through the secret door, Shikamaru casually picked up the scroll that Sasuke had just put down, and his intuition told him that there was some incredible secret recorded on it.

It was also the secret above that caused Sasuke to make a series of abnormal actions.

The figure quickly shuttled through the corridor. Perhaps Sasuke's speed was too fast, and they soon lost sight of Sasuke.

But fortunately, Ino's perception ninjutsu and Hinata's Byakugan prevented them from being thrown away by Sasuke.

"What's going on? I always feel like Sasuke's power has become more terrifying..."

With his keen sense of smell, Teeth smelled an odor that made him feel extremely uneasy.

Even Akamaru, who was lying on his head, was whimpering weakly, huddled up in fear of something.

That look seemed to tell everyone that it was best not to chase the current Sasuke, otherwise something very dangerous would happen.

Finally, I saw light ahead.

It was a door that was pushed open.

It is also a spacious room with ample lighting, but unlike the outside, the temperature here is very low.

The walls and floors were filled with abnormal air conditioning.

The moment they entered the room, everyone's pupils widened.

dead body!

There are dead bodies everywhere!

There were about dozens of bodies.

For those who were still genin, such a scene was too shocking.

Each corpse was wrapped in white air-conditioning and lay quietly on an iron bed that was only suitable for one person.

"What's this?"

"So many corpses..."

Shikamaru and the others spread out and inspected the corpses frozen by the air-conditioning, looking shocked.

The age of these dead bodies ranged from the youngest to thirteen or fourteen years old, to the oldest fifty or sixty years old.

His expression was peaceful, like a peaceful death.

The body was wrapped in clean white cloth, not even clothes.

But after carefully observing the faces of these corpses, Shikamaru frowned slightly and subconsciously stretched out his palms to open the closed eyelids of these corpses.

Hollow.

The dark hollow made Shikamaru's heart suddenly stop, and his breathing stopped.

"There are no eyes on the corpse..."

"It's so cruel... who the hell..."

As girls, Ino, Sakura and Hinata all covered their mouths and the muscles on their faces twitched, as if they were very afraid of seeing these things.

Naruto and the other boys also had the courage to follow Shikamaru's example and open the eyelids of these dead bodies.

Still empty dark eye sockets.

The eyeballs were removed.

"These corpses don't have eyes either... But why do they need to have eyes..."

Ya said in confusion.

Only Shikamaru was uncertain, and he vaguely had an extremely absurd guess.

Although that guess was extremely absurd, but thinking of Sasuke's previous abnormal behavior, Shikamaru sighed as if he had given up thinking.

Now it's tricky.

"Sasuke, could these people be..."

Facing Shikamaru approaching him, Sasuke ignored him and took out the wire and kunai without saying a word.

He didn't know why these bodies, which should have been buried underground, appeared in such a place.

He should have clearly watched the corpses of these clansmen being buried that day...

Why……

Why……

Many reasons appeared in Sasuke's mind, but he still chose to remain silent.

"go out."

Finally, Sasuke said calmly.

"Sasuke, things—"

"Get out, or I'll kill you!"

Sasuke turned his head abruptly, with an extremely cold chakra wrapped around his body, and the red Sangodama Sharingan stared at Shikamaru's face that hesitated to speak, with a serious tone.

"What did you say suddenly, Sasuke?"

Naruto came over and was about to go forward to argue with Sasuke, but Shikamaru stopped him directly.

"Forget it, Naruto, let's go out first, let Sasuke stay here alone for a while."

Shikamaru continued to sigh as if surrendering, and held Naruto to stop irritating Sasuke.

Although the others were worried about Sasuke's situation, considering that Sasuke might really need to be alone now, they had no choice but to obey and follow Shikamaru out of the cold room and close the door.

Everyone came outside, and everyone's face was obviously depressed.

"Shikamaru, Sasuke to the end..."

Sakura couldn't help but ask.

Ino also worried: "Yeah, what happened to Sasuke? His chakra is very cold, and he is completely different from before."

In the past Sasuke, although the Chakra breath was cold, it was not this cold.

This kind of coldness gave her a very bad feeling, full of malice and madness.

"I'm not very clear about the specifics. However, those dead bodies in the room... probably belong to Sasuke's clan."

Shikamaru said something shocking.

The rest of the people were stunned and fell into a long shock, unable to speak.

"But, since it is a corpse, shouldn't it be buried underground?"

Teeth said hesitantly.

"Even the corpses of ninjas with the blood inheritance limit have extremely high research value. I'm afraid these corpses were transported here for this reason."

Shikamaru didn't know how to put an expression on his face that corresponded to this situation.

"Who did it?"

"It's probably the high-level person named Danzo. The eye he exposed that day was a more advanced Sharingan."

"In other words, the eyes missing from those corpses..."

Naruto and the others gulped and thought of a very scary possibility.

Shikamaru closed his eyes, took a deep breath, opened his eyes again, regained his composure, and said: "Ah, even if it is unbelievable, I'm afraid the truth is like——"

Shikamaru was halfway through his words.

Suddenly, the roar of an explosion interrupted his speech.

The wall of the refrigerator room protruded outwards, and there were terrible cracks. Warm air seeped vaguely from the wall of the refrigerator room.

"Oops!"

Shikamaru guessed something, and his expression changed instantly.

The sound of explosions and the sound of burning flames continued to come from the refrigerator room.

Hot gas floated out from the gap in the iron door of the refrigerator room.

Suddenly, there was another sharp cry of birds, and the iron door was blasted open from the inside.

Sasuke held the intense lightning in his hand and stood in the aisle, letting out a low sneer.

"Sasuke!"

Just as everyone was about to step forward, Sasuke ignored them, turned around, and started galloping towards the depths of the corridor without looking back.

"Stop!"

Naruto was anxious and wanted to go forward and give chase.

Shikamaru grabbed Naruto by the back of his collar, causing him to stumble to the ground.

"Wait, it's dangerous."

As soon as this sentence was finished, there was an unusually terrifying aura in the refrigerator, and then a column-shaped fire wave was ejected from the opened iron door, impacting on the opposite wall until the wall became hot and red.

This scene made Naruto terrified.

If Shikamaru hadn't intercepted him, the consequences would have been disastrous.

The temperature of the surrounding air began to rise and became extremely hot.

Shikamaru knew what Sasuke was planning.

He planned to burn the corpses so that his people could rest in peace and not be desecrated again.

"Why did that guy Sasuke run away again? What on earth is he going to do?"

He covered his mouth and nose with his teeth, and the high temperature of the flames made his and the others' faces start to turn red, which was reflected by the firelight, and their mouths were dry.

"I'm afraid Sasuke is going to..."

Shikamaru's face darkened as he thought of an unlikely possibility.

Although he wanted to refute this idea in his heart, based on the analysis of the existing intelligence, the possibility of Sasuke making that decision was very high.

"Afraid of what?"

"Ino, you stay."

Shikamaru said to Ino.

"Eh? Me?"

"Yes, you go to the Hokage building immediately and find a way to get in touch with the above and get support. Let's stop Sasuke and act fast! It's late, I'm afraid it's too late!"

"What's too late? What on earth are you talking about, Shikamaru?"

Shino, who was silent at the side, suddenly said:

"Shikamaru means... Sasuke may defect from the village, and he must be stopped now!"

◎

I don't know how much time passed, but Naruto and the others, who rushed out of the cave, immediately noticed something strange about their surroundings.

The cave is surrounded by dense bushes, and the surrounding trees are also very tall. They are so lush that you can barely see the sky when you look up. You can only vaguely see a trace of clear light through the mesh formed by the leaves.

There was no human breath around, only the sound of leaves rubbing against the air and the sound of people breathing.

"Hey, where are we? Why do you feel like you've arrived at an amazing place?"

Ya asked in surprise after looking around.

Shikamaru gritted his teeth, as if he had realized something.

"If the prediction is correct, I'm afraid this is already outside the village."

"What? Could it be that the passage just now..."

The others opened their mouths in surprise.

"Without further ado, from now on, everyone should use full acceleration. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with Sasuke."

Shikamaru's face was serious. Although there were still some doubts, the most critical thing now was to find Sasuke and bring him back to the village.

I just don’t know what’s going on with Ino and whether he has contacted the higher-ups.

"Okay, follow me! Sasuke's position is here!"

Kiba's body leaped out, and Sasuke's scent remained on the road, allowing him to clearly know which direction Sasuke was running from.

The rest of the people followed closely behind Ya, using all their strength to accelerate.

"However, is it really good for only the seven of us to chase after it? If there is an ambush among them..."

Shino pushed up his sunglasses and began to speak.

Like Shikamaru, he sensed a little weirdness in it, and thought that he might encounter an ambush on the way.

"use this."

Shikamaru took out a flare from the ninja bag, pointed it at the sky, and pulled the rifling.

Phew~

The signal flares flew into the sky quickly, sounding and shining.

"Although this is outside the village, it should also fall under the jurisdiction of the village. There should be many patrolling ninjas around, attract them and let them join."

Shikamaru analyzed as he ran.

Moreover, there are white eyes in the team, so there is no need to worry about the so-called traps on the road.

Even if there are traps, they can be eliminated quickly.

All Shikamaru can do is to eliminate the risk of accidents as much as possible and bring Sasuke back to the village.

…

Sasuke galloped along the sturdy branches of the tree alone.

This forest is very vast, even after running for so long, there is still no end in sight.

The air in the forest was filled with a dry and cool atmosphere, but Sasuke was not in the mood to enjoy it.

His crimson eyes were filled with dark colors, as if the whole person had fallen into a numb hollow state and lost his emotions.

Immediately, he heard a sound from the sky.

There is also a more dazzling light than the sun, erupting in the air.

Sasuke recognized the sound and flash of a flare.

"Did that guy Shikamaru do it?"

Sasuke glanced back, then turned his head without asking, and continued to fly towards the front of the forest.

Although there was a faint voice in his heart telling him that he should immediately ask the higher-ups for an explanation.

But rationality told him that going there to ask for an explanation was just an act of throwing himself into a trap.

Moreover, after discovering these secrets, those higher-ups will definitely restrict his freedom. More extreme, he might be executed secretly.

When I think of the dozens of frozen corpses of tribesmen whose eyes were gouged out in the cold room, there are still traces of scalpel stitches on them, and some corpses have their internal organs removed.

The expression on Sasuke's face began to collapse, wrapped in dark distortion.

Tingling.

crazy.

All kinds of emotions that destroyed Sasuke's sexuality caused his Sharingan eyes to once again advance towards the abyss of darkness.

Those are a pair of eyes that are about to become extremely dark.

After running for who knows how long, Sasuke felt that this endless forest was just like his current mood, sinking into a dark abyss.

There was even an evil voice in his mind, deliberately tempting him to do that.

"My eyes hurt so much...my body is so tired..."

Because the Sharingan evolved into the three magatama form, the chakra in the body has increased exaggeratedly.

This chakra is so powerful that it can be compared with the cursed state entered during the Chunin Exam.

"Really...is this the 'curse' that that bastard Itachi called...the more you sink, the more power you get beyond imagination..."

Sneering in a low voice, Sasuke continued to run forward while covering his head to relieve the headache.

He gradually understood what the 'darkness' referred to by the Sharingan was about.

Kakashi had said something similar.

"Damn it... I feel like my brain is about to lose itself and I can't control it..."

destroy.

Killing.

Hate.

This thought constantly stimulated Sasuke's spirit and brain.

The more he cared about this, the more Sasuke felt that his Sharingan was burning, as if there was still a huge power in it that had not yet been activated.

Can feel it.

This power seems to be within reach.

Sasuke felt that his mental state was really weird.

"I'm really weird..."

Laughing at myself like this.

While resisting the temptation of powerful power.

On the other hand, I vaguely hate myself for being so weak.

Extremely contradictory.

This is also the reason why Sasuke laughs at himself.

Obviously there is no need to restrain, you just need to sink in.

He is just an Avenger.

Even if you know the truth.

Rather, after seeing those things, the will for revenge became more determined and stronger.

The false compassion in this village of Konoha will only make me feel unhappy now.

"If this continues, I may not be able to control myself anymore..."

◎

Root headquarters.

The root ninjas who used to be seen everywhere now only have a very small number staying here.

Not only that, these root ninjas are also under surveillance.

The ANBU ninjas appeared here openly and took control of everything here.

Although the Root ninjas were very dissatisfied with the sudden visit of the ANBU, their leader Danzo had lost power and fell from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley, and the Root organization was also in a semi-waste state.

But unknown to these people, a strange 'creature' sneaked in underground.

It avoided the security system that was about to be scrapped. Because of the sudden intervention of the Anbu, the defensive force of the root headquarters suddenly weakened, which gave it an opportunity to take advantage of.

Unbelievable as it may be, it is true.

The defensive strength of the root headquarters, which is controlled by the Anbu, has reached its weakest level in history.

Before changing it, there was no way for it to easily break into here.

Only by taking advantage of Danzo's loss of power and letting the ANBU control this place can we have a chance to sneak in.

Came to the core research center.

Creatures from the ground popped their heads.

Its vision is unobstructed in the dark and barely visible environment.

He came to the data room of the research center silently.

It looked like a soft body made of rocks and soil, with pale yellow pupils mixed with dark qualities. After looking around, he came to one of the shelves, picked up one of the scrolls, and stuffed it in like a snack. In the mouth.

This humanoid creature - is exactly one of Shiraishi's avatars, General Tu.

Now that the root headquarters maintenance system is paralyzed, it is a good time for him to sneak in.

Originally, it was impossible to get a glimpse of the real root, but now it has a panoramic view.

All the confidential research materials here will become the back garden of the kingdom of ghosts and can be picked at will.

Therefore, after General Tu came here, his job was to take away everything here.

Scroll, eat it.

Books, eat them.

Notebook, eat it.

Folder, eat it.

Computer, eat it.

While eating, General Dou couldn't help but sigh, Konoha's ANBU were really his good partners.

Without the help of these people, the work given to him by his father would never have been completed so easily.

In the past, he had prepared to sneak into the root headquarters base several times, but in the end, he failed because some unknown warning system was triggered, and he could only watch helplessly from the outside.

Now the situation is quite different.

While thinking about it, General Tu saw the various labels on the bookshelf, tore them off and ate them without caring about anything.

All things that could be used to record words, whether books or utensils, must be eaten, and no one can be left behind.

Eat.

Eat.

Eat them all.

There was only this one idea left in General Tu's mind, which can be described as not growing a blade of grass wherever he went.

Ahhh~
