Escape From Konoha

Chapter 68: their own plans

Konoha 45 years, mid-December.

The two-and-a-half-year-long Rain Country War finally came to an end with Konoha and Sandyin signing an armistice agreement.

The day after the armistice agreement was officially signed, the Sandyin Ninja, who had lost a lot of strategic supplies, had no choice but to withdraw from the Land of Rain and returned to the Land of Wind to start recuperating.

Konoha also did not stay in the country of rain for long. Under the mobilization of Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, the defense line quickly retracted back to the territory of the country of fire, leaving only 500 ninjas to defend the border between the country of fire and the country of rain. , and the remaining nearly 2,000 ninjas followed Orochimaru back to Konoha Village, ending their long war career.

At the end of the same month, Yunyin ninja invaded the country of fire through the land of soup, and officially declared war on Konoha.

The Konoha side was commanded by the former Hokage Senju Tobirama disciple Akihiro Kaze, and led 3,000 Konoha ninjas to meet the Yunyin ninjas on the borderline between the land of fire and the land of soup.

This news puzzled many strategists in the outer village, and even many Joinin inside Konoha expressed doubts about the decision of the high-level officials.

The reason why the War of the Rain Country could end at lightning speed is undoubtedly the biggest credit to Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas.

It stands to reason that it should maintain the enthusiasm for victory, let Orochimaru take command again, and defeat the Yunyin ninja stationed in the country of Tang.

However, the commander who led the Konoha ninja to deal with the Yunyin ninja was not Orochimaru, but Qiu Dao.

It's not because of the strength of the Qiu Dao to take advantage of the wind. As a disciple of the previous Hokage Qianshou Tobirama, he went out with the high-level Konoha teachers such as the three generations of Hokage. He is also a secret ninja of the Qiu Dao family.

Fame, strength, and the political background behind them are undoubtedly the Naruto faction ninjas who are worthy of entrustment.

However, there is one thing that is criticized, that is, Qiu Daofeng is too old. He is already an old man over fifty years old. No matter from what perspective, he is young and energetic, and one of the four generations of Hokage candidates, Orochimaru , more suitable to take his place.

No matter how puzzled the outsiders were, there was not the slightest hint of wind at the top of Konoha. People once suspected whether this was a conspiracy of the top officials of Konoha, such as secretly changing coaches, apparently headed by Qiu Dao to take the wind, secretly sending Orochimaru to the front line, and Yun Yin was caught off guard.

Yun Yin had to stop the offensive and watch Konoha to see if Orochimaru sneaked to the front line and changed the position of the main general who took the wind from Qiu Dao.

The country of grass.

The Konoha and Sandyin war in the country of rain ended, but the Konoha and Iwagakushi war in the country of grass is still going on in full swing.

In the dimly lit forest, Yamanaka Kaiichi, Nara Shikahisa, and Akimichi Dingza were moving fast.

The three of them are young Shinobi in Konoha Ninja Village, and they are all from the first-class secret ninja clan. Leaders of the younger generation.

"I didn't expect that the commander to deal with Yun Yin was not Lord Orochimaru. This is a bit unexpected, Lu Jiu."

Yamanaka Haiichi sighed.

In his mind, the battle against Yunyin on the other side should be the commander of Orochimaru, who defeated the Sandyin ninja, rather than the 50-year-old Qiu Daofeng.

Although saying that, it's a little rude to the elder Qiu Dao Qufeng, but even if Qiu Dao Qufeng wins Yun Yin, his position in Konoha has no promotion. Once you lose the war, you will still be ruined. Whether you win or lose, it is not a good thing to take advantage of the autumn path.

On the contrary, the young Orochimaru needs this war even more to completely establish his position in the village and make final preparations for serving as the fourth Hokage.

Therefore, Yamanaka Haiichi couldn't understand the actions of the village's top management, and obviously letting Orochimaru deal with Yunyin Ninja was the best strategy at the moment.

To tell the truth, after a few more years of being a ninja, he can retire and take care of his life. At this time, he should not be allowed to attack Yunyin ninja, especially in an important position like a commander.

"Anyway, there are pros and cons."

Kakashi sighed lightly.

"Oh, what do you say?"

"It is indeed the best strategy for Lord Orochimaru to face Yunyin, and it is also a choice that is most in line with the current overall interests of Konoha. However, it is in line with the overall interests of the village, but it may not be in the interests of the senior management of the village. You must recognize these two difference.”

And it is always the high-level Hokage, consultants and others who control the general direction of the village.

This is the battle between the old and new factions of Konoha.

Therefore, it is not incomprehensible to let Orochimaru and Yunyin Ninja fight, and to cool down his reputation for a while.

Hai Yi and Ding Zuo were stunned, then fell silent.

Sannin became famous in the Second Ninja World War, and Orochimaru was one of the leaders. Throughout the past ten years, every time Konoha experienced wars, Orochimaru went to the most dangerous battlefield fronts, big and small. Hundreds of battles, winning more and losing less, is one of the few practical ninjas in Konoha who can hold the position of general.

The tactical style is not bound by conventional theories. Anything that can win, no matter how despicable and vicious means, will do anything to ensure Konoha's victory.

Therefore, in the process, it will bring huge and indelible wounds to the surrounding countries, especially small countries, but it also established the stability of the Fire Nation and Konoha. In Lu Jiu's view, Orochimaru can be said to have contributed.

As for the trauma that Xiaoguo received, it is only a true portrayal of the ninja world, and it is not within the scope of Konoha's concern.

To be able to win for Konoha is the worthy hero of the Fire Kingdom and Konoha.

Especially in this battle with Sandyin, Orochimaru harmed the interests of Yuyin and the Kingdom of Rain, but in one fell swoop, he restored Konoha's decline and made a huge contribution to Konoha.

"Since time immemorial, most alternations of power between old and new have been accompanied by **** political struggles. Three generations of Hokage-sama have ruled Konoha for far too long. For too long, something has become so ingrained that someone has to break it. Only after the deadlock can Konoha introduce new vitality. The current village, which seems to be prosperous, has actually lost its indomitable spirit.”

Kakashi said meaningfully.

His remarks are not unfounded guesses, but a conclusion based on the shared information obtained by the Nara clan, the Yamanaka clan, and the Akimichi clan.

As far as he knows, most of Konoha's important positions today are basically more or less the figure of the Sarutobi clan ninja.

For example, the Minister and Deputy Minister of Anbu, since the three generations of Hokage came to power, these two high-level positions have always been held by the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan.

Here comes the complicated question.

The next Hokage succeeds the throne, and the Hokage, who is in charge of the Sarutobi clan, is directly under Anbu. Should he follow the words of the third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiizan, who is also a member of the Sarutobi clan, or the fourth Hokage?

Although the above are all speculations, Lu Jiu is very worried that it will all come true.

In his opinion, the positions of Minister and Deputy Minister of Anbu should not have any family characteristics, and should be held by ordinary ninjas with outstanding abilities to prevent the monopoly of familyism.

"Lu Jiu, don't you want to..."

Haiyi and Ding Zuo looked at Lu Jiu's back in surprise, trembling slightly, and heard what Lu Jiu meant.

As Lu Jiu's best friends since childhood, they know very well that Lu Jiu usually looks like a troublesome person, but he is definitely not the kind of excellent ninja who wants to live a mediocre life.

His ingenuity has been highlighted since the Chunin era.

As close friends, the two of them can naturally feel the lofty political ambition that Lu Jiu wants to show in his heart at this moment.

Lu Jiu has his own dreams... No, it's better to say that it is his ambition to truly show his abilities in the big environment of the ninja world.

I want to join the new Hokage camp and introduce a new life to the village.

In that case, it is bound to attract questions and targets from the Sarutobi clan.

"Don't worry, a family is a family, I am me, and I will recognize the boundaries between the two."

Lu Jiu turned around and smiled at the two of them, his face full of vigorous confidence.

How can young people lose their ambition to move forward because they are afraid of failure?

As for recalling the past, that is what I should do when I am old.

When it comes to old age, it turns out that there is no glorious past to brag about, which is the most tragic.

"Lu Jiu, I thought you were always a troublesome person."

Hai Yi sighed helplessly, and a smile appeared on his face.

Ding Zuo also smiled and said, "Yeah, this doesn't look like your style at all, Lu Jiu."

"Even if you are a troublesome person, you still want to do something. There is no conflict. After all, we are still young. If we don't give it a try, how will we know if we can't succeed? , you will have the capital to brag about with your grandson."

Shikahisa was fantasizing about such a scene.

If the grandson asks him, 'What great things did grandpa do when he was young', he can proudly repeat these deeds to his grandson over and over again.

Thinking about it carefully, I was really excited.

"Really? It seems that there is no way for the two of us to quit. After all, the three of us have always been advancing and retreating together. A family is a family, and we are us."

Haiyi and Ding Zuo looked at each other, nodded to each other, and made up their minds.

"Even if you want to quit then, I won't let you go, so be conscious."

Lu Jiu smiled.

"Of course. However, it should be a few years before Orochimaru-sama assumes the position of the fourth-generation Hokage. It seems that we need to contact us in advance."

In the past, the three of them only met Orochimaru a few times from a distance, and basically didn't say a few words.

Now, in order to be able to create a new trend in the village, it is also necessary to get in touch with this genius among the three ninjas in advance.

However, Lu Jiu shook his head and said, "No, if my guess is correct, Mr. Orochimaru should now be strictly monitored by the senior management, and it has become uncertain who will be the fourth-generation Hokage."

"how come?"

Haiyi and Ding Zuo were slightly taken aback. If the position of the fourth Hokage didn't belong to Orochimaru, who else in the village could be competent?

Could it be the other two of Sannin?

"Who knows about this kind of thing. Besides, contacting Master Orochimaru at this time will only arouse suspicion at the top, and you won't get anything except this. Also, don't forget, what is the content of our mission this time."

The content of the task?

Haiyi and Ding Zuo looked at each other.

This time, the three of them rushed to the Land of Grass to assist the yellow flash team, follow all the commands of the yellow flash Hikaze Minato, and carry out an S-class secret mission.

"Lu Jiu, you mean Minato?"

"No, it's impossible, Minato is too young."

Both Hai Yi and Ding Zuo were a little unbelievable.

"Because he is young and does not have his own team, it is easier to be controlled. Wait a minute, if after defeating Yanyin, if Minato is then transferred to the land of soup to deal with Yunyin, it is basically certain that the three generations of adults are for the sake of Yunyin. Minato has paved the way, ready to give up Lord Orochimaru."

Lu Jiu said in a calm tone, with the light of wisdom that sees through everything in his eyes.

Haiyi and Ding Zuo are still hard to let go. The three of them are old acquaintances with Minato, and their relationship is usually very good. If it is true as Lu Jiu said, the position of the fourth Hokage is likely to fall on the head of Minato, as the same generation. As far as ninjas are concerned, it is too shocking.

But from another point of view, Minato became the fourth Hokage, probably the puppet that the third Hokage pushed to the front, and Konoha will really call the shots at that time, I am afraid it will still be the third Hokage himself.

The situation is complicated enough. Hai Yi and Ding Zuo shook their heads one after another, not daring to think about it.

I hope that there will not be any twists and turns in the village because of the position of the fourth Hokage.

"They are here."

Shikuji raised his head and stopped in front of him, followed by Haiichi and Dingza.

In front, two figures, one large and one small, appeared.

It was Minato and Kakashi.

"Lu Jiu, Hai Yi, Ding Zuo, I haven't seen you for a while."

Minato called out the names of the three.

"Yeah, in a blink of an eye, you are already a yellow flash in the world of ninjas. There really is you, Minato."

Looking at Minato's young and energetic smiling face, Lu Jiu sighed from the bottom of his heart, admiring it.

If such a person becomes the fourth Hokage, it would be a good thing.

Compared with Orochimaru, Minato is more knowledgeable to them, and the age gap is not large, so it is easy to cooperate.

The three of them have taken refuge in the past. Watergate, who has no team, will pay more attention to the ability of the three of them. They can squeeze into the core layer at once, instead of starting from the outer layer.

Kakashi also nodded to the three of Shikuku. Although these people were his seniors, he, who was officially promoted to Jōnin, was already a ninja on the same level as them, and there was no relationship between superiors and subordinates.

"Sorry, I can't catch up with you now. I'll invite you to dinner when I go back."

Watergate was slightly apologetic.

"You're welcome, it's an extraordinary period, and we can all understand. So, what is this S-class mission?"

Lu Jiu waved his hand, so Minato didn't need to care.

Minato nodded, took out a scroll from the ninja bag, spread it on the ground, and let the three of Shikaku and Kakashi see it, with a map drawn on it.

"These places are the most important supply points for Yanyin in the country of grass. Next, we will remove all these supply points within one day. Shikuji, you and Kakashi are in charge of attracting the enemy. Attention, I will destroy the supply point by myself. If you understand, start the action now. Kakashi has a backup map and a specific action plan."

Minato looked serious.

"Understood. But, Watergate, is it okay for you to act alone?"

Lu paused for a long time and asked.

Minato nodded and replied: "Don't worry, I have already done research in advance. According to my investigation, Hyuga Ayane and Iwayin have already cut off cooperation. As long as she doesn't come to make trouble, I will be enough. Going too much. Man, it's a waste of time."

This is the drawback of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Because of the fast action, many times, he can only fight alone, and the other Konoha ninjas cannot cooperate with him tactically.

Moreover, it is necessary to remove all the supply points of Yanyin in the country of grass within one day, which proves that he cannot be distracted to take care of the safety of his companions, and must end the battle as quickly as possible.

"Then it's fine."

Lu Jiu agreed.

Haiyi and Ding Zuo were led by Lu Jiu, and Lu Jiu agreed, and they naturally agreed with Minato's strategy of dividing troops.

"I'll leave it to you here."

After Minato finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.

"Follow me, I will make specific arrangements on the way."

Kakashi didn't say much and started to act.

The three of Lu Jiu scratched their heads. The three of them, as adults, had to listen to what a twelve-year-old child had to say, and they always felt that something was a little weird.

Normally, after Watergate leaves, aren't the three of them in charge?

Although the other party is also officially recognized by the village as Joinin, there is still something wrong.

"Forget it, let's keep up. Anyway, the key point of the mission is at Watergate. We are all just pawns."

Lu Jiu smiled helplessly, and led Kaiichi and Dingza to follow in Kakashi's footsteps.

Wet Bone Forest.

In the bare woods that are as white as bones, Shiraishi brought Obito and Rin here to teach the basics of natural energy.

Although the outside world can also practice natural energy, the natural energy density in Shigu Forest is high, and it is easier to complete the basic practice of natural energy.

but…

Shiraishi looked at Obito who was sitting on the ground, his face flushed red, he didn't know what to say for a while.

It has been half a month, and I have told him all the main points of natural energy cultivation, and even did dozens of demonstrations in person, but the other party did not mention the control of natural energy. Not sensed.

Shiraishi has never seen a talent for sensing natural energy.

And Lin, who was cultivating not far away, could already refine her natural energy and use it to train her physical skills.

"Come out to me, natural energy!"

Obito roared impatiently, but nothing happened and no natural energy was sensed.

"Ah ah ah ah, why can't I sense anything!"

Obito fell to the ground and began to give up on himself.

"I've said it all, you must calm down and cultivate, and don't think wildly."

Shiraishi sighed.

Shiraishi suddenly regretted accepting such an idiot as his disciple.

I thought that Obito, who opened the Kaleidoscope Shaker Eye, must have some special hidden talent, but after some testing, he was completely desperate.

This guy's hidden talent is that he is more talented when he is promoted to the level of Sharinyan.

In addition to this, physical art, fire escape, and illusion are all at a general level that is inferior to the above.

If this goes on, the rest of the abilities will not be able to effectively cooperate with the Kaleidoscope Shaker, which will become a drag on the bloodline limit.

Therefore, Shiraishi intends to teach it from the most basic natural energy.

Taijutsu is the most basic and essential skill for ninjas.

Mastering the natural energy, physical skills cannot be bad.

"But I have tried my best to calm down and cultivate."

Obito looks like I'm seriously practicing meditation.

"Really? Isn't it because Lin is not far away that I can't meditate?"

Shiraishi stared at Obito with suspicious eyes.

"You, what are you talking about? What does this have to do with Lin? I think it's just that there is something wrong with your teaching method."

Obito used lame excuses to excuse himself.

From time to time, her eyes peeked at Lin, who was not far away, and Lin occasionally sensed Obito peeking at her. She was puzzled for a moment, and then smiled gently at him.

This made Obito blush, and his heart was like a deer, like a shy girl in love.

"You're a pervert, thinking about other people's girls all day long."

"No way! Why am I a pervert?"

Although Obito tried his best to defend himself, Shiraishi had already decided that he was a pervert.

"You can't cultivate natural energy for a long time, so you can only let Lin go to another place and cultivate alone. Otherwise, it is impossible for you to calm down."

"Understood, I'll just be serious. After all, you're just a guy who eats our Uchiha soft rice. How dare you be so arrogant."

Damn, I knew that using Lin to threaten, Obito couldn't resist against an insidious person like Shiraishi, so he could only stare at him angrily.

"This is also for your own good, you know..."

Shiraishi was about to say something when the voice of a live gnat came from behind:

"Sir Shiraishi, there is a letter from you."

A live adult-sized gnat wriggled behind Shiraishi to deliver a message.

"Understood, I'll go over immediately."

Shiraishi nodded, then looked at Obito and said, "Continue to practice, I'll leave for a while. If you dare to be lazy, I will leave Lin to do the work of cleaning the Wet Bone Forest this month."

"…"

She was so ticklish that she didn't dare to say anything.

Be sure to become stronger, and then beat this insidious villain who keeps persecuting Lin to death.

Saying goodbye to Obito, Shiraishi followed the living cockroach's clone to a simple-looking wooden house.

Inside the wooden house is a black box-style machine wrapped in plastic. It is a remote communication device unique to the military of the Kingdom of Ghosts. In order to receive information from the outside world in time, when Shiraishi came this time, he was on the side of the Shibone Forest. Such a communication device is installed.

The white paper has been printed with text and spit out from the machine.

Shiraishi frowned as he looked at the information displayed on the paper.

"too fast…"

He murmured.

"What's so fast, Master Shiraishi?"

The living gnat asked curiously.

"In the Battle of the Country of Grass, Iwagaku lost, Konoha won."

Shiraishi replied.

It is such a piece of information that is presented on paper.

—Kakashi Konoha, Kakashi, Shikisa Nara, Kaiichi Yamanaka, and Dingza Akido, four people, blow up Kamubi Bridge, an important transportation channel for Iwain. Afterwards, Minato Naikaze entered by himself and placed Iwagakushi at five important supply points in the Country of Grass. All of them were destroyed within two hours. Dozens of Iwagakushi Kamijin were also killed in action by the yellow flash. hand.

With his unparalleled lightning tactics, Yellow Flash Wave Wind Minato completely ended Iwagakushi's dominant position in the country of grass.

This news has spread all over the ninja world, causing an uproar among people who are concerned about the war.

No one would have imagined that the yellow flashing wave Feng Minato would be so powerful, and almost single-handedly overturned Konoha's disadvantage on the battlefield of the land of grass.

Even Shiraishi did not expect that Iwagakushi would fail so quickly.

Even without Ayane's help, according to Shiraishi's estimation, Iwagak shouldn't have ruined the good situation so quickly, and he was turned around by one person.

In this way, after the war, Konoha's weakened power is extremely limited.

"It's a unique village. Is this the true legacy of the first and second Hokage? It's terrible."

Shiraishi smiled wryly.

Sannin, who can act on his own, can already deter all parties, and now there is a yellow flash that is more troublesome and troublesome than Sannin. Shiraishi does not know what kind of luck Konoha needs in such a chaotic political situation to be able to every time. Every time a ninja like this can turn the tide can appear at a dangerous moment.

Makes people envious.

Even Shiraishi was a little jealous of the village of Konoha. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Don't give the rest of the Ninja village a way to survive.

"Does Shiraishi-sama find it difficult? After all, Namikaze Minato is the son of Miao Mushan's prophecy, and he is definitely not comparable to ordinary ninjas."

The live gnat said this, as if he was just talking about an unimportant matter.

For it, there is no difference between the son of prophecy of Miaomu Mountain and the common people.

"It's not that it is difficult. As long as Minato doesn't take the position of the fourth Hokage, there is no need to worry. Even if he takes the position of the fourth Hokage, he will not be able to do much in a few years. Now Konoha's vested interests High-level, absolutely do not allow the new Hokage to take away the power that belongs to their part."

Even if Minato wins the final political struggle, Konoha will become extremely weak due to too much political internal friction at that time, and it is impossible for him to recover in a short time.

Overall, Konoha, who is now making many Shinobi villages jealous, is actually the one that Shiraishi is least worried about.

In terms of disappointment, those Konoha executives never let him down.

This is the source of Shiraishi's confidence that Konoha will not pose a threat to himself and the country of ghosts for a long time to come.

But self-confidence returns to self-confidence. When Konoha's political situation is chaotic, Shiraishi doesn't mind adding a little more obstruction to Konoha.
