Escape From Konoha

The razed Sunagakure camp was in a mess.

There are traces of Shukaku's brutality everywhere, and the entire forest has been turned into desolation, and it is no longer clear what the original camp looked like.

Shukaku's cold chakra still lingers in the air of what was once a camp but is now a wasteland, and the pressure has not disappeared from here.

Where Shukaku was standing before, there was now a ninja wearing a black coat.

This person is the current leader of the Sunagakure Ninja Village, and the most outstanding and powerful ninja in the Sunagakure Ninja Village - the Third Kazekage.

On the barren land, black sand and dust were scattered. He looked at a unconscious monk lying on the ground next to him.

The skin of the monk's body was burned, but his vitality recovered at an abnormal speed.

Even to him, the Third Kazekage, it was an extremely surprising scene.

"If it were an ordinary Jinchuuriki, he would have died long ago... What a tenacious guy."

He muttered something to himself.

Shukaku is the tailed beast that their Sunagakure ninja village has had since ancient times.

But because the power of the tailed beast is too great, for ordinary ninjas, just looking at it from a distance, let alone getting close, will feel fear from the soul.

Therefore, it is necessary to use sealing techniques to seal the tailed beast in a human body, treat this human as a sacrificial Jinchuriki, seal up the power of the tailed beast, and use it when necessary.

And this monk is the Shukaku Jinchuuriki of their Sunagakure Village.

"Kazekage-sama!"

A large group of Suna ninjas arrived here. At a rough count, there were four to five hundred people, all of whom were elite ninjas from Sunagakure Village.

One of the Jonin came up and saw that the Jinchuuriki was in good condition. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the leader of the Third Kazekage with admiration and respect.

The Third Kazekage nodded to these Sand Ninjas.

"As expected of Kazekage-sama, Shukaku should be able to settle down for a while now."

Regarding the judgment of this Jonin, the Third Kazekage shook his head and said: "How can it be so easy? This guy Fenfu still refuses to cooperate. If this guy is willing to cooperate, I will not use other methods to stimulate Shukaku. ”

Fenfu is the name of this monk.

As a Jinchuuriki, he has a very good relationship with Shukaku, the tailed beast sealed within his body. Therefore, Shukaku has been sealed very stably over the years.

But there are also problems.

He is compassionate and compassionate, and is a Jinchuuriki who doesn't like fighting.

For this reason, in the past when the Second Kazekage Samana ruled Sunagakure, in order to militarize Shukaku's power, the Second Kazekage imprisoned Bunfuku, studied the power of Shukaku in his body, and developed a series of magnets. Escape ninjutsu.

Even so, Fenfu did not surrender to the Second Kazekage.

After the Second Kazekage Salmon died, his disciple, the Third Kazekage, succeeded to the throne. Naturally, he also inherited the will of the previous Kazekage and pondered how to militarize the tailed beasts.

This time it was an attempt to use the power of the tailed beasts to catch Konoha off guard and skim the Fire Nation's rich resources.

However, the effect was not very good. Due to Fenfu's lack of cooperation, Shukaku's mood has been very unstable recently. If he had not sensed that there was a problem with the sealing technique, he would not have rushed here immediately to seal the rampaging Shukaku back. In the jinchuriki's body.

"What's next, Kazekage-sama?"

the jounin asked.

"Ignore the jinchūriki's issues, there is always a way to get this stubborn guy like Fenfu to cooperate. But what is the situation of the Konoha ninja appearing here?"

It didn't take much effort to suppress Shukaku, after all, his ninjutsu was developed for this purpose.

Compared to the fact that Shukaku's position was exposed, the Konoha ninjas suddenly attacked here. The Third Kazekage believed that this was the key point.

Sending the tailed beasts to the battlefield must be done secretly so that they can defeat the Konoha ninja with lightning speed and invade the heart of the Land of Fire.

"We didn't know that those Konoha ninjas suddenly came to attack."

The Jonin who answered also looked a little ugly.

The matter of the tailed beast should be a top priority, and there should be no risk of it being leaked.

"Recheck the personnel here thoroughly."

The Third Kazekage issued such an order.

"yes!"

The jounin nodded seriously.

At present, it is more likely that there is a mole in the village.

"By the way, how are those Konoha ninjas going to cook?"

"Don't worry. When I came here, those Konoha ninjas had already detached a team to hunt them down. I believe good news will come back soon."

The Third Kazekage looked into the distance with calm eyes, full of confidence in the Suna Ninja sent out to hunt down Konoha ninjas.

The jounin nodded and carried the monk who was unconscious on the ground on his shoulders.

"Well, Kazekage-sama, I'll go down and relocate the jinchuriki first."

"Go ahead. I will increase the guard strength appropriately later. No more accidents are allowed this time."

"yes!"

◎

The country of rivers, at the bottom of the forest cliffs.

"ah!"

After stabbing the kunai into the enemy's chest, Shiraishi breathed heavily, took a step back, and then sat on the ground tiredly, holding his side that turned blood red.

"These guys are really tough... Wind Blade?"

It was easy to leave such a deep and long bloody mouth on his body that had been strengthened by natural energy. The wind blade used by Sunagakure elite ninjas was indeed an extremely sharp ninjutsu.

Shiraishi frowned, a faint green light lingered on the palm covering his side, and he began to heal the wound.

Next to him, Liuli and Ayane were also sitting out of breath, their clothes covered with dust, and they took Bingliang Pills to restore their chakra.

Around them, there were twenty-one sand ninjas lying in a pool of blood, with kunai and shurikens scattered everywhere.

Among them, there were three jounin who led the team, and the rest were all chuunin.

For annihilating this force here, Shiraishi and the other two paid a heavy price.

Shiraishi healed the wound on his flank and touched the ninja tool bag. The contents were almost emptied, leaving only two sealed scrolls and an experimental bottle for collecting Shukaku's chakra.

"Is there any more Bingliang Wan?"

Using taijutsu does not consume chakra, but medical ninjutsu does require chakra, but there are no more pills in his ninja tool bag.

Even if you use local materials to make it, you still have to take into account the sand ninja who don't know when they will attack next time.

"It's gone, it was the last one just now."

Ayane replied apologetically.

Liuli also shook his head. The main function of the Bing Liang Pill was to satisfy hunger, and to restore chakra was only for emergency use.

Even the special military food pills made by Shiraishi, the amount of chakra that can be restored is limited.

Shiraishi sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to push his body up with difficulty, and walked towards the fallen Suna ninja to see what equipment they had in their ninja tool bags that could be used.

With luck, he touched the first corpse. There were still a few undamaged kunai in his ninja tool bag, as well as two detonating charms.

Shiraishi put all these into his ninja tool bag.

Suddenly, a sand ninja who fell to the ground suddenly opened his eyes. His hand was wrapped with the sharp wind that was spinning, and he swung the wind blade towards Shiraishi's body.

Shiraishi was startled. He didn't expect that there was someone pretending to be dead here.

Without thinking, he tilted his body and a few hairs fell down.

Bai Shi couldn't help but shed a trace of cold sweat on his face, and his body rolled out in embarrassment.

The sand ninja was so powerful that he rushed towards Shiraishi with his whole body stained with blood and his face as ferocious as a demon.

boom!

A fireball came.

The sand ninja had no time to defend himself and struggled and screamed in the fire. Finally, he fell down weakly and turned into a black, charred corpse.

Liuli took a deep breath and looked even more exhausted.

The fireball just now had almost used up the last of her chakra.

If you continue to consume chakra, it will be fatal.

"Idiot, you can't even tell the difference between the dead and the living."

"Feel sorry."

Shiraishi got up from the ground in embarrassment and patted the dust on his clothes.

As he spoke, he continued to touch the corpse, but with the lessons learned from the past, Baishi was much more careful when touching the corpse.

Before touching each corpse, throw a kunai out first to prevent others from trying to steal the corpse.

Fortunately, this worry was unnecessary. Only one of these sand ninjas was not completely dead just now.

In the end, Shiraishi got forty or fifty kunai and shurikens, sixteen military food pills, and about ten detonating charms.

After getting it in front of Ruri and Ayane, who didn't want to move, they began to distribute the spoils.

Liuli and Ayane were not polite either, mainly because they were too embarrassed this time.

Of the sixteen ration pills, Shiraishi and Ayane each took four, and Ruri took half of them each because their ninjutsu was high-consuming.

The three of them directly used the Bingliang Pills on the spot to replenish their chakra.

Shiraishi, who had recovered, was going to use healing techniques to treat the wounds of Ruri and Ayane.

"No need, these are minor injuries, just bear with them."

Liuli picked up the white bandage and wrapped it around the bleeding calf and arm skillfully. Even though the pain caused by the wound was deep, she did not frown.

"Liu Li is right. Our current situation is not completely safe yet. These injuries will not affect our combat effectiveness for the time being. There is no need to waste chakra."

Ayane nodded, imitating Liuli and wrapping the wound with a medical bandage, as long as it could stop the bleeding.

"Oh well."

Shiraishi didn't force it.

The icy cold wind blew between the valleys and blew towards them. The three of them couldn't help but hold on to the collars of their clothes, and their bodies felt a little cold.

In order to slow down the pursuit of the Sand Ninja, the three of them took a long detour and entered the bottom of the river valley cliff in the River Country.

The terrain here is complex, the environment is harsh, and it is covered by thick fog.

Up close, it was white mist, but deep in the mist was pitch black, like a huge black hole hovering above everyone's heads.

The three rested for a while, finally regained some strength, and began to look for an exit.

There are rock walls with heavy moisture all around. The further you go, the darker the environment becomes. The deep valley is filled with cold and thick fog, which makes your skin cold.

The three of them walked forward in a dull manner without saying a word.

The main reason is that I don't want to waste unnecessary energy. At this time, it is good to retain a little more energy.

Ayane uses the chakra recovered from Hyōryōmaru to activate her Byakugan.

In this dark environment, there are actually very few things visible, but you can determine whether there is an ambush around based on the meridian system of chakra flow.

"Someone is coming. It should be Sand Shinobi."

Ayane stopped in her tracks and said something.

Shiraishi and Liuli just let out a breath and said nothing.

"How many people are there?"

After a while of silence, Liuli spoke.

"Eleven people."

"I have a way to deal with them in one go. Ayane, find a place with a narrow intersection for me. Annihilate them here."

Ruri's words surprised Shiraishi and Ayane.

But seeing the confident look on Liuli's face, Ayane chose to believe that she had this ability.

"I see."

There is still some distance for the Sand Ninja to reach here, and within this time, it is enough for them to find a place with a narrow intersection.

Although I don’t know what Liuli’s specific method is, as the core combat power among the three, Liuli will not be the kind of person to exaggerate about Haikou.

Soon, Ayane found a place with a narrow intersection. There were only two paths in front and back that could be walked. There were rugged and towering rock walls on both sides, blocking the retreat.

"Is it suitable here?"

"That's enough. How long will it take for them to arrive?"

Liuli's face was solemn, as if she had made up her mind.

"At this rate, there's still two minutes left."

"Remind me in the last ten seconds."

Ayane nodded in agreement.

Shiraishi frowned. Although he believed in Ruri's strength, he had never heard of Ruri practicing more powerful ninjutsu, and no information had been disclosed before.

Therefore, Shiraishi was skeptical of Ruri's method of killing an elite sand ninja in one go.

But now I can only hope that Liuli's method will work.

Time passed by, and Liuli stood at the front.

That stern figure, standing still like a flower on the mountain in the face of the storm, is more admirable than anything else.

"coming!"

Ayane spoke as the last ten seconds came.

Liuli was not polite, and began to seal, which is a very standard fire escape technique seal.

She gathered all the chakra and natural energy in the mouth, and forced the fusion without safety experiments.

Then, Liuli felt a very terrifying energy flooding his whole body.

This powerful feeling was something Liuli had never felt before.

Just as she thought, although the natural energy guidance experiment was completed by Shiraishi, Liuli believed that she had already surpassed Shiraishi, the experimental developer, in the use of this energy.

It is precisely because of this that she has the confidence to fuse the remaining chakra with natural energy without any safe experiments to form magical chakra that doubles the power.

"Fire Escape·Extinguish Fire!"

"Wait, Liuli——"

Shiraishi discovered the problem.

With Liuli's current chakra, it's not enough to launch Yang's large-scale fire escape attack.

If the supply of chakra is insufficient, not only will the power of the technique be reduced, but it may also cause a backlash against the operator himself.

However, when the sea of ​​fire appeared, Baishi's voice had already been covered.

And even if she heard it, Liuli didn't plan to act in Baishi's way.

She is not good at methodology and experiments, but in terms of combat, she will not obey anyone.

A torrent of flames surged like a tsunami in the depths of the valley, in the form of a beast that devoured everything. The area that was originally filled with cold air immediately gave people the illusion of being in a hot hell.

Before the group of sand ninjas met the enemy, they were petrified, and their consciousness fell into a blank.

Can't hide.

Can't resist.

Darkness is burning.

The air here is bent, a horror picture caused by the heat.

Time and space fell into a deathly silence, and only the surging sound of the flames could be heard.

The high temperature that makes the skin dry and cracked is still sublimating, and the sea of ​​​​fire continues to grow in the narrow space, devouring all living things in front of it.

Standing beside Liuli, Shiraishi and Ayane couldn't help taking a breath, only to find that their throats seemed to be filled with boiling water, and they became oppressed and painful.

The rock walls washed by the sea of ​​fire turned into bright red flame spars, shining brightly.

And in front, the eleven sand ninjas who had no road surface had already been wiped out, even the corpses could not be found, and they were cremated into air and disappeared.
