Escape From Konoha

Snow country.

In a country that is covered with snow and ice all the year round, even before winter, the air has become very cold, and snowflakes have begun to fall in the sky.

In the palace of Fenghua City, Fenghua Xiaoxue, who is already the monarch of the Snow Country, sat in a room rather bored, listening to a teacher lecture.

That's right, it's lectures.

Even if she has become a monarch, Xiaoxue is still a minor in essence, and she needs to learn to better manage the country of snow.

The current country of snow is managed by his trusted confidant Mitafu Asama. Xiaoxue does not know exactly how to manage the country, so he is arranged here by Santaifu, and he has to study here for six hours every day. The above courses, and then learn to handle government affairs for more than three hours.

"Devil... San Taifu is really a devil..."

Xiaoxue bowed her head in pain, and when she saw the textbook in front of her, she had the urge to tear it apart.

The days of becoming a monarch were not as beautiful as they had imagined.

In the past, when her father Fenghua Zaoxue was still there, he studied in the palace for only two hours a day.

Now she has to spend nine hours a day on textbooks and government affairs. For her, it is like being tortured like a deep hell.

Is there a way in the world that you can learn all the methods at once without learning, just by eating, drinking and having fun all day? Koyuki started whimsical in class.

As the teacher who taught Xiaoxue, there was nothing he could do about it. He could only turn a blind eye and let Xiaoxue wander in the classroom.

If he is in a good mood, maybe he can listen to it, but if he is in a bad mood, even if he burns the textbook in class, he, the teacher, cannot say a word.

Even for the monthly teaching fee, there is nothing dissatisfying about this job for him.

Although as a teacher, he hopes that the monarch, Xiaoxue, can be more serious in class, learn some useful knowledge, and become a wise queen as soon as possible.

Just...Looking at Xiaoxue's lack of interest, he knew that the other party was not at all interested in learning this kind of thing.

Thinking about it, even if Xiaoxue is the monarch of the Snow Country, she is essentially a girl who has not grown up, so learning such a boring thing will naturally not be interesting.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Xiaoxue said to the door.

The door was pushed open by someone outside, and a maid stood outside. She bowed slightly and said respectfully to Xiaoxue:

"I'm sorry, Your Highness."

"Is there a problem?"

Xiaoxue sat upright and listened carefully.

"Minister San Taifu asked you to come over, saying that there is a distinguished guest visiting."

"I see. So, let's end today's class here."

Xiaoxue nodded and decided this matter in one sentence.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Since there are distinguished guests visiting, and the monarch Xiaoxue is required to appear in person, he is obviously a person with great background. He is just a responsible teacher, and he can still take care of the importance.

Xiaoxue walked out of the room, the maid led the way, and she followed behind.

Who will the honored guest be? Xiaoxue, who followed the maid behind, guessed the identity of the 'honored guest' in the mouth of San Taifu.

Since she served as the monarch of the Snow Country, she has indeed met many foreign dignitaries in person as the monarch, but those people are only symbolic greetings, and it is enough to go through the scene.

After the greeting, there was never a second visit.

Therefore, she is very curious about the status of "VIP" in the mouth of San Taifu.

Is it the messenger of the five kingdoms?

It's just that the Snow Country and the five major countries don't have much communication. Even if there is communication, it's just a mission, and it shouldn't be.

Passing through the gorgeous and spacious third-floor corridor of the palace, the maid stopped in front of a door, and Xiaoxue said, "Go down, I'll just go in by myself."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The maid bowed and stepped back.

Xiaoxue tidied up her clothes before reaching out to push the door and entering the house.

In the room, San Taifu was having a good conversation with a young man there. When he saw Xiaoxue coming in, San Taifu stood up from the sofa.

"His Royal Highness Xiaoxue, see who is here."

San Taifu pointed at the young man beside him.

"Long time no see, Xiaoxue."

The young man, who was also Shiraishi who arrived here from the land of ghosts, kindly smiled at Xiaoxue.

"Father!"

Xiaoxue also had a happy expression on her face, and quickly walked to Shiraishi, hugged Shiraishi's body, and showed an affectionate look.

"His Royal Highness Xiaoxue, you shouldn't be so rude even when you're excited, it's too detrimental to your majesty."

San Taifu taught him how to become a majestic king.

At the same time, it's a little tasteful. Usually, Xiaoxue always pulls a face to get along with him. Why is Shiraishi, who only comes once every two or three months, so deeply loved by His Highness Xiaoxue?

"You're just not good at this, San Taifu, why didn't you realize that you were such a long-winded person before?"

Xiaoxue glared at San Taifu in dissatisfaction.

This devil, who arranges such heavy schoolwork and government affairs for her all day long, makes her have no time to play, and is not a person at all!

is the devil!

"I am doing this for your highness's sake. You are already the monarch of the Snow Country. Like Your Highness Zayuki, learn to be a monarch who loves the people, so that the people will love you in return."

"I see, you've said this to me countless times. Today, my father finally came over, you don't plan to let me spend it in lecturing, right?"

Xiaoxue sighed.

Only this time, she doesn't have to put on a serious and cold face outside, she can act according to her own mood.

At first, she thought it was a little fun to be the queen of the Snow Country.

But when San Taifu began to let her study and officially let her handle government affairs, he saw what the real **** is.

And San Taifu is the devil who crawled out of hell.

San Taifu could only smile bitterly. Although he ascended the throne, the innocent character of the other party could not be eliminated.

However, protecting Xiaoxue was exactly his responsibility as a servant.

"Xiaoxue, San Taifu is also for your own good, don't make him angry all the time."

"Got it, Father. Did you come here to visit Xiaoxue this time?"

Koyuki looked at Shiraishi expectantly.

"That's right, and I brought you a present, I hope you'll like it."

Shiroishi smiled mysteriously.

"Gift?"

Xiaoxue tilted her head, looking puzzled.

San Taifu remembered that when Shiraishi came, he came with a sealed box.

That inside is the so-called gift to Xiaoxue.

What could it be?

San Taifu looked over.

Shiraishi walked to a sealed box, and with Xiaoxue's expectant gaze, he tore the seal and took out the contents.

"Uh... Father, is this the gift you brought me?"

The anticipation on Xiaoxue's face turned to stunned, and she pointed at the strange device that Shiraishi took out, her face full of doubts.

This kind of strange equipment should be a kind of machinery, just like the heater left by his father Fenghua Zaoxue.

The whole body is black, and it looks like a dark iron box.

"yes."

Shiraishi nodded.

Xiaoxue looked puzzled, how to play this weird mechanical device?

Shiraishi smiled slightly, walked to the switch in the room, turned off the light, and the vision in the room immediately dimmed.

He walked back to the black mechanical device and began to operate the machine skillfully.

I saw a hole in the black box, and a light source immediately shot out, creating light and shadow on the wall not far away, making the room a little brighter.

I saw the light and shadow on the wall, showing a variety of pictures, including endless rivers, endless mountains, and endless oceans.

The scenery of the four seasons is also presented one by one in the light and shadow.

The sound of wind, snow, and various natural sounds are also played out at the right time.

Koyuki and Sandafu were suddenly attracted by the scenery above.

Of course, it wasn't all the scenery above that attracted them, but the novelty brought about by this strange black box.

"Father, this is..."

Xiaoxue subconsciously took a few steps forward, her little face excited.

It was the first time she saw such a beautiful picture.

"This is a newly developed device for recording images and sounds, called a projector. This is a portable projector. This is my gift to you. Do you like it, Koyuki?"

Shiraishi fondly stroked Xiaoxue's little head.

Xiaoxue nodded heavily, expressing her liking.

She stood in front of the wall, staring at the beautiful picture above without blinking.

"Because you stay here all the time, you don't have many opportunities to see the outside world. With this, you can live in the palace and enjoy the scenery outside without being bored."

"Well, I like this gift very much, my father."

The smile on Xiaoxue's face was very happy.

Seeing such a picture, a voice in her heart told herself that she should record all the beautiful pictures and sounds in the world and make them the most precious memory.

"It's a really nice gift."

San Taifu was also admiring.

"This task is left to you, San Taifu."

Shiraishi said.

"Don't worry, I will definitely work hard to complete this job. At that time, I can also record the situation of the people of the Snow Country, so that Xiaoxue knows the suffering of the world and encourages herself from time to time. Mr. Shiraishi, you really worked hard for the education of His Highness Xiaoxue. what."

San Taifu was moved and nodded again and again, and had already thought of a series of plans for Xiaoxue to further expand her studies.

With this device called a projector, it really solved his immediate needs.

"..."

Shiraishi felt that San Taifu seemed to have misunderstood something.

Isn't it obvious what he meant? I just want Xiaoxue to relax while studying.

As a result, San Taifu said such words. If it increases the burden on Koyuki, it shouldn't be his fault, right?

Fortunately, Xiaoxue was still immersed in the screen projected by the projector, and did not notice what San Taifu said, otherwise he would definitely scold San Taifu.

Leaving Koyuki alone in the room to watch those videos, Shiraishi and Mitsuo came out.

"Mr. Shiraishi, you came to the Snow Country this time because of the Chakra armor."

Although it is doubtful, San Taifu is quite sure that Shiraishi is here for another purpose.

The other party's work in the country of ghosts is very busy, and now is not a festival, it is definitely impossible to come to the country of snow just to visit the righteous daughter Xiaoxue.

"Yes, the purpose of my visit to the Snow Country this time is to test the research on the Chakra armor at the Iceberg Base."

The new scientific research base of the Snow Country is built on the lower layer of a huge iceberg, so it is named Iceberg Base. It is also the largest scientific research base in the Snow Country with the largest human and material resources.

The chakra armor was developed there. In addition, there are some other things, such as the Kunai burst gun obtained from the country of the sky, and some large-scale ninja tools, which are suitable for war.

All these technologies need to be innovated.

"The research and development of chakra armor is very difficult. It is not just a matter of funding, but technological innovation. It is not so fast. Even if this time is adjusted, the performance will not change qualitatively."

About this, San Taifu still knows.

The research and development of chakra armor is very precise, and it is a unique technology of the Snow Country. In this technology, the Snow Country has also invested a lot of energy in the past, but the progress has been very slow.

"Don't worry, I'm not so eager to ask for Chakra armor, which can be equipped immediately."

The foreign expansion plan of the country of ghosts is not in a hurry. According to the original plan, at least five years later, it will not really start.

This is still under the circumstance that everything is going well. After all, it will not be easy to deal with various complex international environments.

In fact, with the improvement of the national power of the country of ghosts, the towns and cities have undergone earth-shaking changes, and various systems have been perfected, so it is difficult not to be noticed.

Relying on blocking can't block it, because the country of ghosts wants to seek development in a higher realm, and it is bound to be impossible to hide all the time.

Therefore, the layout of the fog hidden side will be particularly important.

"Then there is no problem. I will always pay attention to the Chakra armor."

Matters related to the survival of the Snow Country, San Taifu dare not be careless and relax the supervision of the iceberg base.

Because those armors are not only for the army of the country of ghosts, but also for the army of the country of snow, to enhance the country's military strength, so as to protect the country's security.

There are countless examples of small countries in the ninja world being destroyed by big countries because of their weak military strength.

Coupled with the matter of the wind, flowers and raging waves, it also reminded him that strength is the foundation of protecting everything.

"Then I'll trouble you. Liuli has already gone to the base first. I will live here for a few days and accompany Xiaoxue, and then go to the base to inspect."

"It's a great honor. Then I'll go and have someone prepare the room first. You can just accompany His Highness Xiaoxue here."

Konoha.

Uchiha moved to a new residence.

The area of ​​the clan has expanded, but it is getting farther and farther from the core of the village.

According to the decision of the high-level meeting, some new industries will be built in the village this year to develop the village, and the most suitable place is the family land where Uchiha is located.

Therefore, Uchiha's family land was moved to the edge of the village, and including Nanga Shrine, there was no need to run so far every meeting.

And in order to compensate the Uchiha family, the high-level also divided a large area of ​​land around them to the Uchiha family.

For example, there are huge training grounds and beautiful and peaceful forests, which are like a paradise.

The area of ​​Uchiha's clan has expanded a lot at once, but how to use such a large land is also a problem.

Because according to the total population of the Uchiha clan, such a large land cannot be used at all.

Moreover, it is far from the center of the village, so it is quite remote.

For this reason, the Uchiha clan held five meetings at Nanga Shrine for three consecutive days in response to the actions of the higher-ups.

Although the adults of Uchiha did not say it clearly on their faces, Itachi knew that the adults of Uchiha, including his father Fuyue, were very dissatisfied with the decision of the high-level.

However, since it is not yet an official ninja, Itachi is also unaware of the content of the meeting in Nanga Shrine.

Not only Nanga Shrine, but also his family has been frequently visited by clansmen recently, debating something loudly in his father Fuyue's room.

When Itachi passes by occasionally, he often hears words such as 'Nine Tails', 'Four Hokage', 'Sin of Desire' and so on.

Obviously, there are some sensitive political topics involved.

The reason why the top management of the village moved the Uchiha clan to the corner of the village was because they suspected that the Nine-Tails Rebellion had something to do with the ninjas of the Uchiha clan.

Although compensation was also made to the Uchiha clan, such as allocating a large piece of land for the Uchiha clan to use, the skeptical attitude seemed to make the clan people feel extremely anxious.

However, Itachi actually has a dispensable attitude towards this decision.

For him, such a remote environment is just right, not only with beautiful woods, but also a training ground that is several times larger than before, so there is no need to worry about being disturbed.

In this way, he can practice here as much as he likes and hone his ninja skills.

Therefore, he thinks that the clansmen have lost their calm too much. Now that things have happened, everyone should sit down calmly and think together. How to make the family better in the village is the top priority, rather than just venting their dissatisfaction.

Expressing dissatisfaction will only make things worse.

Moreover, due to the attack of the Nine Tails, the village lost hundreds of ninjas, and even the fourth Hokage couple died heroically.

Now Yunyin is staring at the tiger outside, and it is said that the war is about to start again.

Therefore, the adults in the clan just vented their anger blindly, which made Itachi feel ashamed.

Losing calmness is definitely not what a good ninja does.

If this matter is framed, then try to come up with evidence to clear yourself up, there is no need to discuss more about this kind of thing.

As for whether it was really the ninjas of the Uchiha clan who released the nine tails, causing disaster to the village, Itachi didn't know the true feelings inside.

But his father Fuyue often whispered a person named 'Uchiha Ruri' at the dinner table recently. The anger and helplessness kept changing on his face, and then it turned into a thick sigh.

Itachi knew that the Nine-Tails Rebellion might have something to do with the Uchiha clan.

His father, Fuyue, would not say a person's name for no reason, or the name of a certain clan.

And the name of this clan, Itachi has heard more than once, but who the other party is, Itachi could not find out the slightest information from his father.

Even her mother, Mikoto, just shook her head, not wanting to say anything more.

——The latest training venue was built in a quiet woods.

Itachi has started a new round of cultivation here in recent days.

First, he practiced the technique of Fire Escape and Howe Fireball, then Taijutsu, and finally shuriken throwing.

By the time all the cultivation is completed, it is already dusk.

When Itachi was about to pick up the package and leave, a cheer suddenly sounded behind him:

"sharp!"

Itachi jumped to the side subconsciously, took out the kunai from the ninja bag, and pointed to the person who came.

It was a handsome black-haired boy.

A Konoha forehead was tied on his forehead, and his clothes were embroidered with the logo of a fan. He belonged to the Uchiha clan, and he smiled at Itachi.

"Don't be so vigilant, get to know me, I'm Uchiha Shisui."

Itachi put down Kunai and was about to answer his name when the other party continued to smile:

"I know you, Uchiha Itachi, the son of the patriarch's family."

"you know me?"

Itachi was curious.

"yes."

Shisui pointed at the surrounding target, which had the Kunai and Shuriken accurately inserted.

There are other targets with only a wooden pole left, and the target has been burned by the fire escape technique.

"Being able to use such powerful shuriken skills and fire ninjutsu at this age, I guessed your identity at once. I heard that you are an out-of-group guy, and you have devoted all your time to your training. ,it is as expected."

Itachi has gone through a lot of practice to have his current strength.

Shishui knew very well how much effort and hard work Itachi had to spend in order to achieve this state, and it was by no means a 'genius' that could easily be denied.

"Because it's too boring to play ninja games with them."

Itachi still answered like this.

"yes?"

Shishui stood there thinking for a moment, then waved his arm.

Several flashes flashed across Itachi's eyes and made a sound.

Itachi looked back in surprise, and saw that on the target, next to each of his shuriken, there was a new shuriken, which also hit the red heart, without exception.

The most important thing is that he didn't say that he saw clearly just now, and he didn't see how Shishui took out his shuriken, and then used what method to bypass his body, and hit the target accurately.

This man... is very strong! Itachi thought secretly.

"How? My shuriken skills are not bad, right? However, I believe that in a few years, you can do this too, even better than me."

Shishui said with certainty.

Itachi didn't answer ~www.readwn.com~ but thought so in his heart.

Shishui was able to do this because the other party was older and had practiced for a longer time.

"Before the family moved here, I noticed you more than once. It's amazing that you are practicing seriously at such a young age."

Shishui reached out to Itachi, with a bright and natural smile on his face:

"How about it, do you want to practice with me in the future? The efficiency will be much better when two people practice together."

Shishui gave him a very special feeling, and it should be easy to get along with him.

Moreover, if you practice with the opponent, you can become stronger. Itachi naturally stretched out his hand and held Shishui together.

"Okay, we are friends from today, how about gathering here tomorrow?"

Looking at Shishui's informal manner, Itachi nodded in agreement.

"it is good."
