Escape From Konoha

In the early morning, the sky was just getting brighter.

"Still haven't found it yet?"

"Sorry, Jiraiya-sensei, I didn't notice it here."

Minato, who was following Jiraiya in the southern valley of River Country, just shook his head slightly when faced with Jiraiya's question.

"Damn it, I didn't expect a mission to turn out like this."

Jiraiya punched the nearby trees with his fist, gritting his teeth in hatred.

He wasn't worried about Shuo Mao's side, because the mission information on Shuo Mao's side had not been tampered with. The problem was with the other three people, who had completely fallen into the trap of Root.

Because he didn't know how the roots would act, Jiraiya didn't know how the people in the roots were going to deal with Sakumo's three subordinates.

In any case, it was because of his own mistakes that the three of them fell into this situation.

But who would have thought that since the Hokage was directly under the ANBU, there would be spies planted at the root?

Jiraiya really wanted to use this opportunity to thoroughly check the roots.

Even the ANBU directly under the Hokage dared to do anything. This was no ordinary trivial matter.

The ANBU is responsible for confidential tasks and the safety of the Hokage, and there must be no accidents.

But considering the temperament of his teacher, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was very fond of old relationships, I'm afraid the most he could do was give him a mild warning.

"Please don't do this, Mr. Ziraiya, maybe the three of them are auspicious and have their own destiny. All we can do is to find them as soon as possible, whether it is life or death."

Minato comforted Zilai and said.

"I know, I'm just complaining. Next, only the bottom of the cliff in front of me has not been searched. I have been there once with Tsunade and Orochimaru, and the terrain there is a bit complicated. Minato, be careful not to get too far away from me." Far."

"yes."

Minato nodded solemnly.

Although he believed in his own strength, he still had a lot of immaturity compared to a jounin like his teacher Jiraiya.

"I hope there is nothing wrong with the three of them, otherwise the Uchiha side..."

Jiraiya is not ignorant of Konoha's situation. Today's Uchiha is the No. 1 wealthy family in Konoha, and the Jōnin who owns the Sangouyu Sharingan in the clan doesn't know how much. One is very troublesome. If they are combined, That is definitely a powerful force that can easily suppress all ninjas except the Senju family.

Compared to Hinata, who has a conservative and gentle attitude, Uchiha are mostly a group of unruly guys.

If you make them angry, you can do anything.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya began to scold Danzo inside and out again in his heart.

It was early in the morning, but the fog covering the deep valley was too thick, which prevented the sunlight from penetrating below, and dispersed in the fog, leaving only a little halo.

In the pitch-black cave, only a fire was burning, dispelling the darkness and cold around.

On the stable ground of the cave, Liuli had her eyes closed at this moment, her palms were tightly clutching her chest, her face was in great pain, she was panting with difficulty, and the breath she exhaled was very weak, as if her life was in danger at any time.

On her body, there is still an extremely violent aura of power that has not completely dissipated, that is the power called 'Xianshu'.

"How about it?"

Ayane asked worriedly.

It was the first time she had seen Liuli look so weak.

Her face was as pale as the color of a corpse, and the painful and difficult panting state left no doubt that her life might disappear at any time.

But thinking of the destructive power of the previous fire escape technique, it is only natural that there are such sequelae.

Although the power of the fire escape technique can't be compared with the power of the tailed beast seen before, it is by no means an invincible force that ordinary ninjas can resist.

Magic? Ayane sighed inwardly.

I couldn't help admiring Liuli's boldness in my heart, but also felt ashamed.

In that case, the difficulty of being able to fuse natural energy with Chakra can be imagined.

But Liuli has achieved this, although it is very reluctant, but it is an undeniable fact that she can use the immortal technique.

"It's tricky, I need surgery right away. Hold her down for me."

Shiraishi took out a scroll from the ninja bag, unwrapped the technique on it, and a medical bag appeared on the ground, which contained a complete set of medicines and surgical props.

Even with his superb medical ninjutsu, there are actually certain risks, but in this situation, the more time is delayed, the more likely it is to neglect the best time for surgery.

Therefore, he could only take the risk and undergo surgery.

"I see."

Ayane went to Liuli and knelt down, and pressed Liuli's body with both hands.

Shiraishi took a deep breath, and then under Ayane's surprised gaze, he rolled up Liuli's clothes, exposing his snow-white abdomen. The clothes were rolled up until he reached his chest.

Ayane immediately blushed.

"Don't be distracted, just hold her down."

Shiraishi's calm voice came.

"oh."

Ayane lowered her head and turned even redder.

Shiraishi ignored Ayane's wild thoughts and put his palm on Liuli's exposed abdomen.

Baishi closed his eyes, felt it a little bit, opened his eyes, his face became more and more solemn.

The chakra and natural energy in Liuli's body are very chaotic, especially the natural energy, which was originally in a gentle and stable state. However, due to the sudden fusion of chakra, the power of senjutsu ran rampant in Liuli's body.

If you want to get Liuli out of danger, you can only extract the natural energy from Liuli's body.

However, the problem is that now that natural energy and chakra have been mixed together, the separation work becomes dangerous.

Because of the power of senjutsu, although Shiraishi conceived the final form, he never practiced it and it was just a hypothetical setting.

If it was just a matter of natural energy, Shiraishi could easily solve it.

Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on Bai Shi's face.

This is the only surgery since his debut where the success rate cannot be determined.

I hope there is no big difference between his past experimental data and the final form of Xianjutsu.

Then again, the safest operation should be to extract the chakra and natural energy from Liuli's body. It is also the simplest and most effective operation to escape danger.

The question is whether Shiraishi's separation of chakra from the body will cause real death of the human body, or it is still a hypothetical stage.

It would be a bit embarrassing if the chakra in Liuli's body was drawn out along with the natural energy, and even if the chakra was returned in the end, Liuli could not wake up.

If this hypothesis can be established, Liuli's current problem is very easy to solve.

The fundamental reason why Liuli fell into this state was because natural energy and chakra merged with each other in the body, causing Xianjutsu to go wild.

As long as all the natural energy and chakra are withdrawn, Liuli can naturally be freed from this danger.

But assumptions are just assumptions after all. The operation of removing chakra from the body is too risky and has the lowest success rate.

Therefore, Shiraishi can only separate the senjutsu into natural energy and chakra first, and then extract the natural energy from Ruri's body.

To separate the natural energy from Liuli's body, you only need to use the technique of extracting the subtle troubles.

This high-level medical ninjutsu can extract unfavorable factors from the human body and even avoid surgery.

Therefore, Baishi only needs to know how to decompose Xianju into natural energy and chakra.

Shiraishi took out a syringe from the medical kit.

Inject the medicine inside into Liuli's body.

After injecting the potion, Liuli's complexion improved a lot, her panting was still a little weak, but compared to before, it was much better.

Seeing this, Shiraishi began to operate.

During the operation, Liuli struggled violently several times, but was held down by Ayane.

In this way, Baishi only needs to concentrate on the operation of separating the immortals.

Painful groans continued to come out of Liuli's mouth, even with anesthesia, it was still such an unbearable pain.

As time passed by like this, Liuli's situation improved a lot.

A little blush finally returned to his face, and his breathing gradually calmed down.

Baishi breathed a sigh of relief. Although he hadn't completely separated the celestial chakra, most of it had been decomposed. Next, he only needed to extract the natural energy from Liuli's body.

After returning to the camp, with complete equipment, the danger can be completely eliminated.

The dark green light began to linger on the palm of Baishi's hand, and he used the technique of extracting fine troubles to extract the natural energy in Liuli's body.

At this moment, there seemed to be the sound of figures walking outside the cave, causing Baishi and Ayane's expressions to change slightly.

Ayane quickly opened her eyes with the remaining Chakra in her body, scanning the situation outside.

"Who is he? Suna Ninja?"

"No. It's a ninja at the root."

Ayane had some gritted teeth on her face.

If it weren't for the root ninja, the three of them would not have been so miserable and fell into this life-and-death situation.

"Are you planning to be the last oriole?"

Bai Shi murmured, a cold look flashed in his eyes.

Sand ninja's chasing troops were almost eliminated by the three of them, but they did not expect that the ninjas at the root would follow them all the time.

"Before they were able to avoid your white eyes, they knew very well that your observation distance is five kilometers. They know a lot about our intelligence."

"All of them?"

"I don't have it here, otherwise Anbu, who is directly under Hokage, would have come to contact me long ago."

Shiraishi analyzed calmly.

According to Ruri's initial information, although the Roots were also a branch of the Anbu, the leader was not the Hokage himself, but Shimura Danzo, another senior elder of Konoha.

What the other party's purpose is, Shiraishi is still unable to judge.

Whether it was to eliminate Hatake Sakumo, the leader of Sakumo's team, or whether it was aimed at the three of them, Shiraishi didn't know.

"What should we do now?"

Ayane doesn't know what to do, she has very little chakra left, and she has not yet practiced natural energy, so she can't provide much combat power.

"Go out and meet them. Liuli is out of danger, so it doesn't matter if you interrupt the operation."

Shiraishi ended the medical ninjutsu and placed Ruri here.

Ayane nodded and walked out of the cave with Shiraishi.

As expected, there were four figures standing outside. They were the root team that first came into contact with Shiraishi and the others.

They wear masks with cold colors that make people feel uncomfortable, and their cold eyes are as heartless as machines.

They stood in a row without moving, just staring at the two Shiraishis indifferently.

Just when one of them waved his hand and prepared to attack, Shiraishi took action one step ahead.

The one he attacked was not the root ninja, but Ayane.

He pinned Ayane face to the ground and twisted her hands behind her back.

"Shiraishi-kun!?"

Ayane was startled. She was too exhausted to react, so she was pinned down by Shiraishi.

Bai Shi said in a helpless tone: "Are you still unable to see the situation clearly? I didn't expect you to be such a stupid woman. I don't want to die with you, I want to live well."

After finishing speaking, he looked up at the root four, and said to the captain among them: "I am a medical ninja, the least threat to you, and the most useful. I am willing to join you, whether it is to control me with spells or to control me." Okay, poison control is good, I don’t want to die. How about giving me a chance?”

That captain was really thinking.

Indeed, as Shiraishi said, his threat is the lowest, and they are currently in urgent need of medical ninjas to conduct taboo human experiments.

As for whether Shiraishi will betray him or not, there is actually no need to consider it at all. Once he gets into their roots, freedom and other things are out of his control.

"I appreciate your self-awareness, so I'll give you a chance."

The captain ninja threw a kunai and stuck it at Shiraishi's feet.

"Kill the woman under you."

"good."

Baishi didn't hesitate. Although there was a fleeting look of struggle on his face, it was quickly replaced by ferocious look.

He picked up the kunai, pointed it at Ayane's neck and started stabbing it.

However, a shuriken flew over and knocked the kunai out of Shiraishi's hand.

Shiraishi looked at the four people at Genbe in confusion, and it was one of them who interrupted his attack.

"Your determination is good, but it is not good to execute the ninjas of your own village casually."

Captain Ninja said hypocritically.

After all, he inherited the blood inheritance limit of Byakugan. Even if he is separated from the family, a living body is more useful than a dead body.

Moreover, there is not much chakra left in the opponent's body, so there is no need to worry at all.

"I understand. I don't want to bear the reputation of killing my own companions."

Captain Ninja is very satisfied with Shiraishi's awareness of current affairs.

I firmly believe that Shiraishi will become a good root medical ninja.

With this kind of belief, it is easy to live for a long time.

The two root ninjas walked towards Shiraishi.

Shiraishi stood aside consciously and raised his hands empty, showing a very cooperative and submissive posture, without any threat.

"I didn't expect you to be such a person. It's a shame that Liuli and I trust you so much."

A root ninja took out a rope and tied Ayane's hands behind her back. Ayane glared at Shiraishi with angry eyes.

"Compared with being alive, this kind of thing doesn't matter at all. This era is too bad. I am not like you who came from a wealthy family. Everything can only be obtained by my own efforts."

Shiraishi didn't want to argue.

Another root ninja also came behind Shiraishi, and also took out the rope and moved towards Shiraishi's raised gloves.

Poof!

The root ninja who was about to tie Shiraishi's hands behind his back didn't notice anything. He only heard the sound of the blade cutting his body, and the vision in front of him became darker and darker.

At the last moment of consciousness, he seemed to see a headless body and hands holding ropes.

That's my body and hands?

Illusion?

He fell into such thoughts, and his consciousness was interrupted here.

"Varied--"

Also too late to react, the blade taken out from nowhere penetrated the root ninja standing next to Ayane, mercilessly stabbing through his heart.

The blade was pulled out of the ninja's body at the base, stained with blood red.

At this time, the rope that tied Ayane's hands was cut and she was free again.

Shiraishi held the blood-stained ninja sword and smiled gently at the only two remaining root ninjas:

"How about it, my sword skills are good? Although there is no way to compare with Master Shuo Mao's sword skills, it is still possible to surprise all of you."

"You brat!"

impossible!

His chakra should be almost exhausted!

And...how could a medical ninja be so fast?

Isn't he a medical ninja?

Even jonin, not everyone can reach this level.

Is this guy the most troublesome of the three? The shock in Captain Ninja's heart can be imagined.

But after being shocked, he fell into anger.

The smile on Shiraishi's face remained unchanged, and no other emotional changes could be seen.

"What a surprise, I actually see anger in your eyes. I heard that you are just machines to complete tasks... Could machines have feelings? But please don't show such eyes, because my anger is far away from you now above."
