Escape From Konoha

Union Army Headquarters, rest area.

As the conflicts on the battlefield continue to escalate, even the people in the rest area at the rear inevitably feel panic and are ready to attack at any time.

In this situation, no one can avoid being prepared to go to the battlefield.

Neji, Tenten and Rock Lee, who were originally members of Konoha's Kai team, after completing the defense mission of Turtle Island, they followed the Jonin captain to the headquarters for a temporary rest. After the captain Matkai performed a secret mission, the three of them also be left behind. According to the instructions from their superiors, their next work will be arranged accordingly within the headquarters.

Among the three, Tenten and Rock Lee were chuunin. As the only jounin besides captain Metkai, Neji naturally became the temporary acting captain of the team.

At this time, he summoned the two people to his room for an internal meeting.

"I don't know how Teacher Kai is doing. I haven't seen anyone else since yesterday. Even if he is performing some confidential mission, the higher-ups must have kept it too secret."

After Tenten came to Neji's room, she couldn't help but complain.

As a chuunin of the Alliance Army, she was naturally unaware of the beheading operations carried out by the upper echelons of the Alliance Army. She only learned that their Jonin captain was performing a top-secret mission. Even the team members did not reveal anything about the answers given by their superiors. It's just to let Ningci manage it and be ready to attack at any time.

"If it involves an important S-class mission, it is reasonable not to inform the irrelevant personnel outside the mission. Most of the missions Mr. Kai carries out are top-secret, dangerous and extremely difficult missions."

As the acting captain of Team Kai, Neji seemed very calm, as if Kai's departure had no impact on him, he just accepted the reality calmly.

"It's okay, Tiantian, Teacher Kai is burning his youth on the battlefield right now. As students and disciples, we can't embarrass Teacher Kai!"

Unlike Tian Tian, ​​who looked decadent, Locke Li maintained a state of excitement full of fighting spirit, and his blood was boiling. Judging from his appearance, he should be eager to go to the battlefield immediately and have a bloody battle with the enemy.

"Idiot is really carefree."

Tiantian glanced at each other speechlessly.

The battlefield is not a place for blood. This is not a simulated training battle. The ninjas fighting will be merciful at critical moments. Once this kind of battle cannot be 'cleared', there is only a dead end.

In this war, countless ninjas died on the battlefield because of their passion.

"Neji, please talk about him too, it's not an exam now."

"Give up. Once Li falls into this state, he won't be able to listen to anything. Just like that guy Naruto."

Neji made a fair comment.

"Well……"

Tiantian had no choice but to retreat. These two guys did have something in common. When facing certain things, they would become stubborn and refuse to give up.

"Speaking of which, Naruto didn't seem to see anyone today. And that uncle Kumogakure's Jinchūriki didn't see anyone else either."

Tiantian suddenly remembered something and noticed something was abnormal.

"Probably, like Teacher Kai, they have gone on some mission. However, that is their business and has nothing to do with us. If they can't handle it, there is no point in us going there."

Neji spoke calmly, focusing on the war of all the top ninjas in the world, such as jounin with standard strength, no different from those chuunin and genin, they are all just cannon fodder. To put it mildly, he could be considered a bigger cannon fodder.

In a battle of top ninjas, their power is insignificant.

Unless it is a standard troop, but due to the scarcity of Jonin, such conditions are difficult to establish.

Therefore, Ningji is willing to accept this cruel reality. The term genius is too ambiguous. Who among those who can reach the rank of Jonin is not a genius in the eyes of others?

Four years ago, maybe he could compete with Naruto and Sasuke with his superior strength. But what now? After the potential of these two people was completely transformed into strength, he, the genius of the Hyuga branch, seemed insignificant in this war.

Sometimes, being willing to be ordinary can actually allow him to see more things clearly.

Tenten looked at Neji with a somewhat complicated look. Ever since the Chuunin exam four years ago, she had a vague feeling that Neji had changed.

He is no longer as sharp as he was in the ninja school, or when he first became a genin, but has become introverted, hiding all the external halo, and returning to an ordinary mentality.

She didn't know where these changes in Neji came from, but she vaguely felt that they were related to the joint chuunin exams and the Hyuga clan, and that his thoughts were deeper than before.

After all, no one among the Konoha ninjas knew anything about the opposition between the Hyuga branch family and the main family.

"Neji, what should we do next?"

Tiantian still regards Ningji as his backbone and takes him as the leader.

Not only because he is the only Jonin in the team, but there are also other emotions involved, such as the longing that has been deep in his heart since school...

Let her have 100% trust in Neji.

As the third person, Xiao Li also sat down calmly and looked at Ningji, who had a calm expression on his face.

Even though they have different personalities, he still has great trust in Neji, a genius who has always been ahead of him.

They are both rivals and close friends who can be trusted to support.

"The situation is tense now. It won't be surprising anytime we go to the front line. Even though we are currently located in the rear of the Alliance Army, we cannot completely take it lightly. In my opinion-"

While Ningji was speaking, a 'shooting star' suddenly exploded in the night outside the window, and then a strong white light burst out in the dark night, almost lighting up the entire sky above the Alliance Army Headquarters Fortress, turning it into a It must be as bright as day.

Like a small sun hanging in the night sky.

Di——

Di——

Di——

What followed was the sharp sound of the siren in the fortress, which directly broke the silent night, causing people to wake up suddenly from the peaceful comfort.

"That is--"

Tiantian and Xiao Li took action at the same time, quickly ran to the window of the room and opened it.

Hot wind blew in from outside, mixed with an unsettling smell.

The 'sun' in the night sky did not fall, it hung high in the sky and continued to release its light.

Without the slightest preparation, more 'meteors' were launched from the distance. Around the Alliance headquarters fortress, the protective barrier lit up, like a large upside-down bowl, protecting the fortress.

This barrier even covers the ground, which can prevent the infiltration of earth escape ninjas.

However, it was still too late for this barrier to be activated.

Meteor's artillery fire shuttled quickly and hit the high signal tower in the fortress, causing the tall signal tower to be reduced to ashes in the fire.

The artillery fire continued to bombard, hitting the protective barrier, emitting fire and impact on the transparent protective wall, making the barrier sway and turbulent, like a small boat in a tsunami, which could be capsized by the enraged sea at any time.

Due to the impact of countless artillery fire and the barrier, the entire ground with the headquarters fortress as the base also trembled violently. There were obvious traces of cracks on the ground in some places, and then starting from each 'point', towards Cracking on all sides.

A scorching storm swept through, and the glass of the open window in Neji's room was shattered, and a large amount of glass shards were scattered around.

If Tiantian and Xiao Li hadn't hid in time, they might have been injured by the shattered glass shards.

Looking at such a shocking scene, Tiantian and Xiao Li were stunned for a moment. Although they knew that tonight might not be a peaceful night, they did not expect that the enemy's firepower would be so fierce and directly attack the Alliance Army headquarters. 's hinterland.

"This direction is to the north...wait a minute, how did the enemy come here? Aren't there people from the Fourth Regiment stationed there? What's going on?"

Tiantian's face was extremely horrified.

The Fourth Regiment has more than 20,000 ninjas, with the Kirigakure ninjas who are the most adept at sea battles, coupled with the chakra cannons supported by Kumogakure, and a large number of military warships. Whether it is the combat effectiveness of the ninjas or their weapons and equipment, they are in the Alliance Army. There are only a handful of them.

With such an elite fighting force, how could it be possible for the enemy to silently reach the Alliance headquarters from the north?

Such a scene that went against common sense made Tiantian's brain confused. He didn't know what happened to the 4th Wing in the north that caused this kind of thing to happen.

"I don't know, I always have a bad feeling. Neji, Tenten, let's go too. It looks like it will be a hard battle next!"

With a serious face on his face, Xiao Li poured chakra into his legs and prepared to jump out of the window and head to the battlefield.

Just as he was about to step out of the window, Neji beside him suddenly moved.

Chakra quietly gathered in the palm of his hand, and while Xiao Li was running towards the window again, he aimed at Xiao Li's back and struck it quickly.

boom!

Xiao Li's body flew out, only to feel a spin, and intense pain surged through his body. He rolled on the ground and only stopped when he hit the wall.

"Neji, you-"

Tenten was stunned and turned his head to look at Neji in shock.

A figure had already flashed in front of her when she shouted the words.

boom!

The palm hit Tenten's lower abdomen, and the force rushed into her body. Tenten's body went limp, and she fell weakly into Neji's arms. There was still a bit of disbelief and confusion on her unconscious face.

Boom boom.

There was a knock on the door.

"come in."

Neji turned around and let the people outside come in.

The door opened and a man of about thirty years old walked in from the outside.

Black hair shawl, handsome appearance, and the same white eyes as Neji.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Tenten lying in Ningji's arms, and Xiao Li, who lost his will and fell against the wall.

Neji recognized the identity of the other party, the jounin of the Hyuga branch - Hyuga Yukima.

On the surface, he is a branch of the family, but secretly he is the sword of the clan elders. His third identity is that of a spy planted by Hyuga Ayane in the Hyuga clan.

He is one of the members of the separated family who desperately longs for freedom.

The elders of the Hyuga clan who pretended to surrender under the control of the Hyuga clan in the Kingdom of Demons have passed on a lot of useful information over the years.

In the Alliance Army, it seems that some unknown activities here have caused the systems of some departments of the Alliance Army to begin to paralyze.

"Just knocking him unconscious, not killing him directly?"

Hinata Yukima came in, the smile on his face was full of teasing.

"they are my friends."

Neji replied expressionlessly.

"So, how will you face them after the war? Don't forget, your current behavior is the biggest betrayal to Konoha."

After hearing this, Neci just stared at Hinata Yukima without saying a word.

"Forget it, this is your business and has nothing to do with me. Even if you are embarrassed by it, it won't be me."

Hinata Yukima walked to Xiao Li's side and tied his limbs with ropes. They had special ropes that suppressed chakra, and no mere chuunin could break free. Then he lifted his unconscious body and put it on his shoulders.

"what you do?"

Neji frowned.

"Since you don't want to kill them, then transport them to a 'safe' place, otherwise the next battle may involve them. The third and second underground floors of the rest area are controlled by our people. It’s now a makeshift prison camp.”

Hinata Yukima explained.

Neji nodded, picked up Tenten's body, and followed Hinata Yukima out of the room.

Before leaving, he glanced through the window at the shining night sky outside.

"Will this war...be won?"

"Victory? Which side do you mean?"

Hinata Yukima glanced sideways at Neji and sneered.

Neji pursed his lips and did not respond.

Hinata Yukima let out a gentle breath, her eyebrows were a little dazed, and then she regained her composure.

"I know that at this critical moment, everyone will feel worried about gains and losses, and feel unreal. But as a caged bird, even if it means death, he will finally make up his mind to look out of the birdcage and gaze at the free sky. Die. I am already thirty years old. If I want to resist, I can only do it now."

As a jounin pawn, Hinata Yukima didn't know who would win and who would lose in this war.

But he was ready to die for freedom.

Even if you die in the end, you still have to break free from the birdcage on your body, and don't want to die in depression in the cage.

He has had enough of the birdcage life over the years.

Not free until death.

"……I see."

Neji was silent for a moment, finally agreeing with Hinata Yukima's words.

Putting away the complicated emotions in his heart, he followed Hinata Yukima's footsteps closely and headed towards the underground area of ​​the rest area.

◎

boom!

The meteor hammer fired at will quickly knocked down a wall. Among the collapsed rubble, there was an Alliance ninja covered in blood, lying motionless.

The pharmacist Noono U who came here as a wandering witch directly launched an attack on the medical area of ​​the Alliance headquarters, plunging the place into chaos so that they could not provide medical assistance to the Alliance ninjas on the frontline battlefield.

Kabuto, who was following Nonou, also easily eliminated an incoming Alliance Army squad, leaving them lying in a pool of blood.

It's just that such a grand attack into the hinterland of the Alliance Army headquarters, which is also an important medical area, leaves Kabuto not knowing where to start.

"Dean, aren't our identities the medical ninjas who save lives and heal the wounded? Why do we, as medical staff, have to cooperate with combat troops to attack the enemy's hinterland?"

"Of course it's because the pressure on combat troops is also very high. Moreover, only by going to the forefront of the battlefield in person can we use medical ninjutsu to provide better real-time support. Isn't that the truth?"

After Nonoyu finished speaking, he quickly shook the meteor hammer in his hand.

The ground and wall in front were violently smashed again, crushing the charging Alliance ninjas under the rubble.

"All right."

Kabuto sighed, reluctantly agreeing to this nonsense.

He took out two projectiles from his ninja bag and rolled them on the ground.

A large amount of purple-red smoke spread and enveloped the area.

The Alliance ninjas with low resistance to poison were directly paralyzed and fell uncontrollably. Even the Alliance ninjas with extremely strong resistance to poison felt dizzy, and all the chakra in their bodies was like a turtle lying around, unable to activate smoothly. Ninjutsu.

But Nonou and Kabuto didn't even wear gas masks. They moved leisurely in the poisonous mist, and with their strength, they kept harvesting the Alliance ninja troops in the medical area.

…

"Wind Release: Great Scythe Weasel Technique!"

In the corridor on the fourth floor of the medical area complex, Temari vigorously shook the three-star fan in her hand, blowing a violent storm, and the surrounding walls showed tragic marks of blade slashes.

The two hostile Jōnin from the Kingdom of Demons were wearing chakra armors. The gems on the chests of the armors lit up, suppressing the storm as sharp as blades, and converting it into chakra and absorbing it into the armors.

The two men navigated the storm unimpeded, picked up their firearms, and pulled the triggers.

Flames and lightning shot out from the guns.

boom!

The sand accumulated into a shield wall, blocking the passage and blocking fire and thunder.

The spreading impact airflow is mixed with scalding heat.

"Gaara!"

Temari looked at the person who blocked the attack for her, it was Gaara.

Kankuro also took out a puppet on the side and was about to step forward to fight.

"Walk!"

Gaara frowned, feeling that the chakra on the sand was disappearing, and knew that the other party was using that special armor to absorb the chakra in the sand.

Judging from the thickness of the armor, it would probably require powerful ninjutsu to break it.

Otherwise, the chakra will be absorbed in the process, causing the attack power to weaken, and it will become a supplement to the armor.

A troublesome tool.

It's not so powerful that it's invincible, but it's very tricky. You can even rely on the characteristics of the ninja tool to contain troops several times your own.

Judging this, Gaara knew that it would be absolutely impossible to decide the outcome with these two Jonin of the Demon Country in a short period of time.

Temari, who wanted to continue fighting, heard Gaara's words and knew that she couldn't be reckless at this time. She looked at Kankuro and shouted:

"Kankuro, go to the ward first and move dad away. It's no longer safe here!"

Kankuro nodded and was about to retreat when a sudden voice came out from behind.

"There's no need to go, little girl, that Master Kazekage is now our prisoner."

A mature male voice came from the void.

Two figures, a man and a woman, suddenly appeared from the swirling air.

Gaara's body tensed up, and the sand around him consciously rushed towards the passage behind, hitting the person coming.

boom! boom! boom!

The sand, which was as hard as steel, made a dull sound as it hit hard objects with successive impacts.

I saw a light blue phantom of a skeleton, formed in the form of chakra exuding, protecting a man and a woman who suddenly appeared. It was this seemingly extremely thin layer of chakra shield that successfully absorbed Gaara's sand. Resist it.

"This is--"

Gaara's eyes suddenly widened, and then he waved his palm, and more sand surged forward, like a surging tsunami, launching a non-stop impact on the light blue skull shield formed by chakra.

Seeing a large amount of sand coming in, the chakra in it should not be underestimated. Obito raised his eyebrows and felt that it was a bit dangerous for Susanoo in the first stage to defend against such an attack. When he was about to add more bricks and tiles on the basis of the skeleton, Lin next to her shook her head, raised her arm, and interrupted Obito's movements:

"Obito, let me do it."

As soon as she finished speaking, a blue phantom appeared on her body, like amorphous blue flames flowing, resembling a giant python's thick tail, stabbing forward from Lin's back, seven in total.

The incoming sand was immediately dispersed by the thrusting tails, and then rushed towards Gaara and the others' position unabated.

Boom!

A violent explosion occurred on an entire floor. A huge hole appeared in the center of the corridor, spreading toward the bottom floor. The ceiling above was also shattered, and large rocks fell downwards.

Gaara and the others were buried directly in the pile of boulders, causing a large amount of smoke and dust to be thrown up.

"Cough... cough cough..."

Pushing away the boulder that was pressing on him, Gaara's chest was stained with blood. The tail of the tail beast transformed by Lin was directly hit. Even if the sand offset part of the impact, it also broke several ribs on his chest, and even My body began to stand up straight.

Temari and Kankuro beside him were even more unbearable. Under that blow, they basically only had air coming out, not in.

Gaara looked warily at the large hole in the floor above, and began to gather the surrounding sand, intending to launch a thunderous strike to regain the disadvantage.

Just when his momentum reached its peak, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air behind him, which startled him and turned him around subconsciously.

One tail was wrapped around his neck, four other tails were wrapped around his limbs, and the remaining two tails were wrapped around his torso and tied tightly.

"Well……"

A painful groan came from Gaara's mouth, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of these seven tails suddenly flashing out from the twisted space behind him, catching him off guard.

Even his sand cannot react in time to such a time and space technique.

In the twisted space, Obito and Lin walked out, looking at Gaara who had been controlled, their faces were dull, they didn't feel that defeating Gaara was something to be proud of.

After all, the unpredictable power of the Space-Time Eye Technique. Unless one has the nerve response ability like the Fourth Hokage and Raikage, the body can subconsciously fight back at the moment the Space-Time Eye Technique is activated.

In comparison, Gaara's counterattack, although faster than most ninjas, was still too slow for Obito, who controlled the Space-Time Eye Technique.

Lin controlled the seven tails and flicked them hard, Gaara's body flew straight out, smashing several walls along the way, and fell completely motionless in the ruins.

"Using us to deal with these people is too overqualified. This kind of battle cannot reflect my true strength at all."

Obito spoke in an imposing tone, clasping his hands on his chest. The light blue Susanoo around him continued to operate, blocking all the strong winds caused by the surrounding battles, and he and Lin stood still in it.

"If you only have the Mangekyou Sharingan, you are not qualified to go to the battlefield of the Land of Rain. Your Susanoo was smashed by Ayane's wife with a punch before. Don't you remember? Rely on the space-time pupil technique to deal with those challenges. The monster of human common sense is still too forced.”

Lin couldn't help but joke when she heard Obito's complaint.

The Time and Space Eye Technique is very fast, but it is not invincible. The ninjas concentrated in the Rain Country have first-rate and super first-class physical reflexes. It is too reluctant to rely on the Time and Space Eye Technique for a sneak attack. In addition, there are many ninjas concentrated in that area who have time and space ninjutsu. Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, has improved the control of gravity to the realm of bending space at will. Obito is in his field Within that time and space pupil technique cannot be activated smoothly at all, and it is likely to be involved in the turbulence of space and eventually be lost.

The time-space pupil technique is powerful and mysterious, but if it is targeted or fails, it will also bear great risks.

To put it simply, on the battlefield where monsters frequently appear, Obito's use of the Space-Time Eye Technique is more effective than the superior.

Moreover, the combat power that the Kingdom of Ghosts has invested in the Kingdom of Rain is already sufficient, so there is no need to do more.

The same goes for Kakashi.

"Uh...I was just careless in that battle."

Obito would never admit that it was his defeat.

"Yes, I was just careless."

He smiled perfunctorily like coaxing a child.

Lin glanced around, and the surrounding Oni Country ninjas dispersed first and went to various areas of the Alliance Army Headquarters Fortress to continue fighting, creating more chaos so that the troops from outside could advance straight in.

"However, it is not impossible for us to go to the battlefield of the Land of Rain. After Kakashi handles the matter here, we will also go to the battlefield there as a second-line force. Mr. Shiraishi and the others must be fighting hard now. "

Lin looked at the deep night sky in the direction of the Land of Rain, and felt lost for a while.

Obito didn't speak, he just put his palms on Lin's thin shoulders, with a soft and comforting look in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Lin. As the saying goes, good people don't live long, and harm will last for thousands of years. That soft-boiled man is so insidious and despicable. I think the person who can kill him has probably not been born yet."

◎

The land of rain.

Under the dark night, the extremely chaotic chakra aura made the night sky seem to be cast with a disturbing shadow, shrouding people's hearts.

In Ayane's blood-red vision, the road of humanity burning with red steam was shortening the distance from her at a speed that shattered time and space, so much so that even the Byakugan, which surpassed the Sharingan's insight, was almost unable to lock onto it. See how the red figure moves.

I just saw him flicker, and all the processes in between were omitted, and he suddenly appeared in the next position. If it weren't for the fact that it was caused by extreme speed, Ayane even mistakenly thought that the opponent was using time and space ninjutsu to jump in time and space.

"It's the Eight Door Dunjia Formation! This guy has opened the final door to death!"

In an instant, Ayane reacted.

This forbidden physical technique was once a flash in the pan on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind, forcing her arch-enemy woman into a desperate situation, and finally had to rely on the pupil technique to barely win.

Although she disdained this kind of forbidden technique that relied on self-mutilation to gain strength, she had to admit that the Eight Gate Dunjia was also unique in being able to force her nemesis into a desperate situation.

However, the violent and dangerous aura coming through the air almost froze the blood in his body just by looking at it.

Without hesitation, she gave up her pursuit of Hashirama, kicked her hind legs hard, and jumped backwards, trying to distance herself from the red figure.

However, the red figure was like a gangrene attached to the bone. Seeing Ayane's movements, the figure flickered again and rushed forward at a faster speed.

"Damn it, there's no way to avoid it!"

Ayane's eyes widened in shock. It was obviously not a time-space jumping technique, just the simplest body movement, but the result was a strong feeling that she could not dodge.

What the hell! She cursed secretly in her heart.

Even facing the speed of the Fourth Raikage that surpassed the human body, it could not bring her such a sense of humiliation.

Even the Byakugan can't catch it.

boom!

The red figure impacted Ayane's body, eventually producing a shocking explosion that caused the air to tremble.

Ayane felt as if the world was turning upside down, and an irresistible surge of force knocked her huge body away.

The chakra armor covering the body also shattered into pieces in an instant. Although the red impact was not like the soft fist, which could penetrate directly into the internal organs, it was the most powerful punch, going from skin to flesh, and then from flesh to bone. .

The bone-chilling pain made Ayane tremble all over, and the area that was attacked immediately lost consciousness.

Boom!

The huge rabbit body fell down and easily smashed a piece of land.

However, Ayane had no idea of ​​resting, and rolled her body towards the side in a panic.

Red shocks fell from the sky.

It created the scene of meteorites impacting the earth.

Just the aftermath of the impact made Ayane put her arms in front of her body to block the flying sharp rocks and storms. She grimaced in pain.

"Blood-colored steam... This kid Kai, I didn't expect that he would actually make it this far."

Liuli saw clearly the true identity of this red figure, which was her former student Metkai.

At first, because he was impressed by the strength of Matt Dai's physical skills and wanted to fight more happily, he spared his disciple's life.

But she didn't expect that her unintentional move would actually come to fruition one day.

Even she could smell the breath of death with this powerful Eight Gate Dunjia.

It is incomparable to the eight-door armor formation formed by Matt Dai.

"Asshole, you bitch, don't talk sarcastically here. I'm the one who's being beaten! I've told you a long time ago that you have to get rid of the roots. With such a bellicose personality like yours, sooner or later there will be problems. Now it's like this , it’s all the result of your deliberate indulgence!”

Hearing the praise coming from Liuli, Ayane couldn't help but cursed angrily.

The other party just punched her once, almost breaking all the bones in her body. If he punched her a few more times, would she still be alive?

And feeling the increasingly terrifying aura on Kai's body, which almost shot straight into the sky, even the aura of the Ten-Tails that filled the sky was shattered to pieces, Ayane's pupils narrowed, and a look of shock flashed through her eyes.

The red figure appeared in Hitomi's frontal view again, moving at an astonishing speed that Byakugan could not catch. Ayane barely suppressed the panic in her heart, and a fierce look flashed in her blood-red pupils.

So, she aimed her palms at Kai, who was moving on the ground, and used the senjutsu chakra emitted from her palms to compress the surrounding air and punch out with all her strength.

"Go to hell!"
