Escape From Konoha

   Chapter 252 Paving the way

   Indulge in the towering rainstorm, even in the deep room, you can hear the sound of the rain outside.

   "Are things done?"

   Nagato walked out of the dark shadow, and behind him, followed Xiao Nan with a cold face.

  Compared to the kind girl who was indifferent to the world a few years ago, the expression on her face became colder because of this cruel world, and it seemed that her heart was frozen.

   "It's done, but I don't know if it will bear fruit or not. After all, the dominance is in Danzo's hands."

   Bai Jue, who was in charge of communication, spread his hands helplessly and answered Nagato's question.

   "Just do your best. To capture the tailed beast, you need to borrow the power of the Shaker."

Although after the introduction of Orochimaru, he recruited Beiruo who can fuse the blood line, but, compared with the pure Uchiha clan, the blood line after the fusion, in Nagato's view, should have certain limitations. of.

   Such as kaleidoscope writing wheel eye.

   That is a pupil technique that is far more terrifying than the Shaker.

  The kaleidoscope writing wheel eye mastered by A Fei is the best proof.

   has a very strong ability to warp time and space. If you are well prepared, it can be used for ultra-long-range assassination, and you will die in it.

   "Unfortunately, the training period is a bit too long. Maybe during this period, Danzo will dye him some unnecessary colors."

   Bai Jue refers to Uchiha Itachi.

   Genius can't hide the eyes of others peeping into the past.

   It can only be said that this young Uchiha boy's talent is too dazzling.

   Contacting the Uchiha clan and looking for people who can be recruited was the first suggestion from Hei Jue.

The reason for    is to use Shakers to better capture tailed beasts, and to deal with enemies who also have Shakers.

   "If that's the case, wouldn't it be more convenient to look for an instant stop at the beginning?"

   Nagato asked back.

  Stopping the water in an instant, he is definitely the ninja with the most famous name at the current stage of Konoha. Just like the original Hatake Kakashi, he has become the leader of Konoha's younger generation.

   "Yes, yes, but it's more difficult to get in touch. Uchiha Shisui's strength is too strong, we can't control him."

The subtext of    Hakujue's sentence is that even Nagato may not be able to control such a ninja.

   Although he is young, his strength is real.

   In the application of Sharinyan, it may be the strongest Uchiha ninja in Konoha today.

   When Bai Jue went to monitor several times, he was almost noticed. Afterwards, I only dared to hang from a distance behind to monitor, and did not dare to get too close.

   "That's a problem. I'll leave this to you."

   Nagato nodded without intervening.

  The affairs of Yuyin Village are enough for him to be busy. He is mixing up the affairs of Konoha, and he is already exhausted.

   This kind of thing, leaving it to Bai Jue and Black Jue is the best choice.

   They are Madara's incarnation of the will and know how to deal with and guide the ninjas of the Uchiha clan.

   "Yes. Also, about the hidden base of Chiba Shiroishi and the others, I'm a little confused."

  Bai Jue's tone suddenly became serious, no longer the color of the hippie smile before.

  Compared to Konoha, this is the archenemy worthy of their serious consideration.

"sure?"

   "Well, it's roughly on the west side of the road. Only there is suitable for them to hide."

   Bai Jue replied.

   Nagato was thoughtful, and he had a calculation in his heart.

   "Forget it, let's not test them. We finally reached a peace deal. Don't stroke the tiger's beard at this time."

   From Nagato's point of view, the three Shiraishi who hold Uchiha, Hinata, Vortex, and many unknown powers are undoubtedly a tiger.

   What's even more terrifying is that this tiger is different from Konoha's docility and has a strong aggressiveness.

  Once their real interests are touched, Akatsuki's actions will be greatly hindered, and the Land of Rain and Yuyin Village will be wiped out.

   As long as we can maintain an attitude of non-interference, Nagato is the most important thing.

   Even today, he doesn't have much confidence in dealing with the three of Shiraishi.

   However, from the perspective of the development prospects of both parties, they are dissatisfied with the existing rule of the five major countries, and they will not have any conflict of interest for the time being.

   As long as you figure this out, Nagato will feel a lot more at ease.

  Xiao is still in the embryonic stage, and it cannot withstand too many twists and turns. It needs to recruit more powerful ninjas to join.

   Bai Jue is also very clear about Nagato's caution.

   In Bai Jue's view, exposing this information to Konoha's people and killing people with a knife is undoubtedly an excellent strategy.

   But the consequences are very serious, Akatsuki and Yuyin will definitely be destroyed.

   Therefore, based on absolute loyalty, Bai Jue did not dare to send this message to Konoha without Nagato's order.

   Once Nagato no longer trusts them, the consequences will be unimaginable, and they may turn against each other.

   "We naturally know this."

   "Uchiha Itachi's affairs are left to you to handle, but don't forget the rest of the business."

   Uchiha Itachi actually doesn't care about Nagato.

   Even though Kuro has told him more than once, this is a very talented ninja.

   However, being gifted does not necessarily mean being able to grow up, and even if you are able to grow up, it is not necessarily for Akatsuki.

   The uncertainty is simply too high.

   Therefore, Nagato hopes that Bai Jue will focus on other powerful ninjas.

  After Bai Jue stepped back, Xiao Nan's voice suddenly sounded from behind:

   "They seem to have ideas of their own."

   "This is my agreement with Madara. Their thoughts are not important, as long as they work hard."

   Nagato also knew that Bai Jue and Hei Jue had their own ideas, for which Nagato had already seen it.

   No matter what purpose they have, they don't care, as long as the task assigned to him is done well, that's enough.

   As for Madara's backhand... No, it definitely left behind.

   is just this backhand, Nagato still can't be sure, and he doesn't know whether it is beneficial to him, Madara intends to violate his agreement with himself, or support, this is an unknown number.

   "Is Orochimaru the same?"

   Hearing Konan's question, Nagato fell silent for a while.

   He knew that Xiaonan had always been quite critical of Orochimaru's joining Akatsuki.

  Orochimaru stabbed Yuyin in the back at the beginning, causing Yuyin to suffer heavy losses, and even taking advantage of Yuyin's trust in Konoha, causing Yahiko and the rest of Xiao's companions to die tragically at the hands of Genbu.

   "During the war, each is independent. Xiaonan, don't bring personal feelings to work, we have no choice."

   It is true that, as a member of the rainy ninja, Nagato has 10,000 reasons for revenge to cut Orochimaru into eight pieces.

  However, he also had 10,000 excuses, and there was no way to kill Orochimaru.

  Orochimaru's strength and talent are what Nagato admires.

   Furthermore, during the war, Orochimaru, a member of Konoha Ninja, made impeccable contributions and loyalty to Konoha.

   With a small number of Konoha ninjas, the Sandyin Village was shut out, and the battle was dead, delaying the Konoha troops on the Iwagakushi battlefield for a long enough time, so that the Sandyin and Iwagakin troops could never unite.

   As for the yellow flash to defeat the Yanyin troops and destroy the Yanyin supply line, that is a later story.

   Talents like this are recruited into Xiao, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

   As for hatred... probably the most useless thing. Nagato laughed at himself.

   "That's it."

   Nagato has really changed. This is Xiao Nan's true thoughts.

   Not to mention Nagato, even herself.

   Pain makes them grow.

Before   , she would probably be desperate to take revenge on someone like Orochimaru.

  When Yahiko was killed by the root, it was the time when Orochimaru and the Danzo of the root cooperated most closely.

   Even now, Orochimaru may be secretly connected with Danzo.

   Nagato did the same thing.

  Although the person who was in contact with Danzo was Ah Fei who was disguised as Madara, but without Nagato's consent, Bai Jue would not have been able to take the initiative to contact Danzo.

  The growth of the roots led by Danzo means that among Konoha, there is one more person who will compete with the three generations of Hokage Sarutobi Hijen.

  As long as Danzo continues to be strong, Akatsuki's actions will be much easier.

   Based on this kind of judgment, Nagato will let Shirai Jue and the others secretly contact Danzo.

  ◎

   The atmosphere in the team has changed, which Itachi had expected.

   After all, the dead Chuanma, no matter what, is a companion who has been with him for a year, and once thought that the teammate relationship of their team would last for a long time before ending.

When    saw Inari Mako again, Itachi clearly saw a shadow cast in her eyes, and the death of Chuanma seemed to make her, who was more kind and weak, cringe.

   However, reuniting, Itachi has one important thing to request to lead Kamuninsu Muzuki Teak.

   "Chunin Exam?"

   Listening to Itachi's request, Kamijin Suizuki Teak scratched his head in difficulty, and seemed to be very distressed about it.

   "What's wrong?"

  Itachi asked in confusion.

   In fact, his strength is already strong enough.

  Especially after awakening Sharinyan this time, Itachi has the confidence to pass the Chunin exam and become a Chunin.

   Only by becoming a Chunin can he perform more advanced tasks and further sharpen himself.

   Moreover, the Uchiha clan also hopes to become Chunin sooner.

   The current Uchiha's reputation among Konoha is not very good, and he needs to accumulate fame and prepare for the position of the fifth Hokage.

  The fourth generation of Hokage Naruto Feng Minato passed away, and the third generation of Hokage was dying, so that the radical Uchiha clansmen saw the hope of becoming a Hokage.

   Although his father, Fuyue, focused on a steady and gradual policy, he could only barely suppress it.

   Moreover, Itachi knew that his father also needed the position of Hokage.

After    became Hokage, the situation of the Uchiha family in Konoha should be much better, such as changing the garrison system.

   To this end, Itachi became the spokesperson of the Uchiha family to some extent.

   "Actually, Mako is here to resign today, she doesn't want to be a ninja anymore."

   Water no Moon Teak unfortunately glanced at Inari Mako.

  Itachi looked at Mako Inari in surprise.

The party concerned, Mako Inari smiled apologetically at Itachi, with sadness in his eyes, and said to Itachi: "Sorry, Itachi. You can say that I am ignorant, but I am really afraid that one day I will be killed like a horse, passing through the teak wood. I have already read the teacher's enlightenment..."

   She used to fantasize at the ninja school that being a ninja is a very honorable thing.

   However, after Chuanma died in the line of duty, when she saw the horrific corpse, she suddenly understood how cruel and realistic the ninja world was.

   Although she is several years older than Itachi, she has always been the weakest in the team.

   She could not see the death of herself or her companions.

   "Is that so? Then there's no way."

   Inari Mako is a kind-hearted girl, he has always known that.

   It’s good to retreat in spite of difficulties like this. Inari Mako, who has self-knowledge, is much better than many ninjas who can’t see themselves clearly.

   However, Itachi still felt strange.

   There is still a period of time before this year's Chunin exam. During this time, Mizuki Teak is fully capable of finding two teammates again and joining him as a trio to participate in this year's Chunin exam.

   At the beginning of the previous Chunin exams, many teams with missing members rushed to fill up their manpower and participate in the Chunin exams.

   However, Mizuki Teak so easily gave up this year's Chunin exam opportunity, which still made Itachi suspicious.

   "Yeah, it's a pity this year. I'm looking for suitable personnel to fill in, and I don't know if Naruto-sama is ready."

   Mizuki Teak nodded, looking worriedly into the distance.

  ◎

   "This year's Itachi Uchiha, won't he take the Chunin Exam?"

  In Hokage's office, the one who asked the question was Shimura Danzo, the leader of the root group.

   As one of the top executives of Konoha, he is also a high-level hostile Uchiha force, looking for the future of a Uchiha ninja, which is really surprising as a Hokage.

  Hizan picked up the list of Genin who participated in the Chunin exam this year.

   There are forty groups in total, and a total of 123 genin participated in the Chunin exam.

   But in the one hundred and twenty-three names, it does not include the name Uchiha Itachi.

Rizhan thought for a moment and replied: "In the Shui Wuyue team, a member of the team just died, and the other team member seems to have a shadow on this and has resigned and is not included in the ranks of ninjas. Therefore, now the Shui Wuyue team is There is only Uchiha Itachi in Shimonin, and there is no way for one person to participate in the Chunin exam."

   Because Chunin tests not only the strength of a ninja, but also the leadership ability is an extremely important part.

  Ninjas like that kind of powerful but poor leadership also exist.

   If Itachi takes the Chunin exam alone, it will be an unfair treatment for Itachi and the rest of the candidates.

   "Is that so? But, what do you think about the Joinin Mizutsutsuki teak?"

   Danzo asked a topic that had nothing to do with the present.

   "Water without Moon Teak?"

  Hizhan was taken aback for a moment, but Danzo would suddenly mention Itachi's leading team Joinin.

"What's up with him?"

   "He has a very bad side about him."

   Danzo said this without hesitation, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, as if he had discovered some important secret.

"what?"

   Hi Zhan was stunned.

"Although on the surface, he is a devoted Jōnin. But his jealousy is very strong, and he has been secretly suppressing talented ninjas. He will even create a psychological shadow on his subordinates through some things, forcing him to They left the ninja business."

One of   Itachi's team members died and one team member resigned, but none of these things were necessary.

   As long as Mizutsutsuki Teak declares this matter, they, as high-level executives, will never ignore it.

   Because of Uchiha Itachi's name, it's worth it.

   However, Mizuki Teak did not declare this matter, which is intriguing.

   "Is this information accurate?"

  Hisashi got serious.

   "Do you think I made a mistake in this kind of thing?"

   Danzo asked rhetorically.

  Rizhan was speechless.

  The root of Danzo's responsibility is that Naruto directly belongs to Anbu, something even darker.

   Danzo himself is mainly in the dark all the year round. If Mizuki Teak really did such a thing, then it must be hidden from Danzo's eyes.

   "I see, I'll check Mizutsuki teak thoroughly."

  If the matter is what Danzo said, then the matter is really critical.

   Such Shangnin continues to lead the lowerin to perform tasks, which will only ruin more talents.

   Maybe, Mizuki Teak has been secretly planning, how to suppress Itachi, the genius of the Uchiha clan, so that he will not be eligible to apply for the Chunin Exam.

   "It doesn't matter about Mizutsutsuki teak. Itachi Uchiha participates in the Chunin exam as soon as possible. I will use him. Of course, it is also feasible to make him become a chunin directly through a high-level meeting."

   Danzo made no secret of his coveted heart for Itachi.

   After he met and talked to Itachi, he knew that Itachi was on his side, and only on his side.

   Neither Hiizaki nor the guy who claimed to be Madara didn't understand the darkness in Itachi's eyes.

   Only he who is also the dark can understand the darkness that Uchiha Itachi bears.

  Itachi is a dark ninja who fits perfectly with his roots.

   "No, Chunin needs leadership skills, and one cannot pass the test alone."

  Rizhan shook his head and refused.

   He didn't know what Danzo was thinking, but the power of the roots couldn't stack anymore.

  Because of the trouble with Yunyin, Ri Zhan suspects that in the Hyuga clan, someone secretly complicit with Tuanzang, and united together, allowing Tuanzang to save the Hyuga clan at any cost.

   If you add a Uchiha clan ninja, the authority of the root will be even greater.

   He cannot tolerate such a thing happening.

   "Itachi is not suitable for team formation. Incompetent bosses and mediocre teammates will only hinder his progress."

   "He's just a kid."

  Hizan knows the hidden meaning of Danzo.

   is nothing more than trying to prove that Itachi is another character with Konoha's white teeth and yellow flashes.

   But it only has this potential.

   "But he will grow up one day. Genius has a way of cultivating genius. The model of the White Fang team can't be put together now."

In order to maximize the strength of Konoha White Fang's team, Uchiha and Hyuga were arranged for the best geniuses at that time, and they were also equipped with the few medical ninjas in the village at that time, which met all the needs of Sakumo, and created Shiro. The reputation of the Tooth Squad.

   But that kind of success cannot be replicated.

   Instead, Danzo thought it would be more appropriate to make Itachi become a lone ninja similar to Yellow Flash.

   Therefore, a decision was made to let Itachi take the Chunin Exam.

   Itachi, who awakened Sharinyan, has such an ability.

   "I'll think about it again."

  Hizan knew that Danzo was telling the truth, but Uchiha Itachi's attitude was unknown. He didn't want such a Uchiha genius, who was highly respected by Shisui, to become a blade in Danzo's hands.

   "As soon as possible. Also, one more thing."

   Danzo knew that this matter could not be rushed, and Risho needed a buffer time.

"what's up?"

   "About Orochimaru."

"Orochimaru?"

   Mentioning this name, Ri Zhan's eyes became obviously complicated, and the momentum on his body also dropped a bit, which made Danzo sneer.

   is really old.

   Just hearing this name, it is already a bit of a god.

  Because of this, he has the opportunity.

  Unfortunately, now is not the best time to start.

   "He joined a dangerous group of rebels."

   "Rebel organization?"

  Rizhan knew that his disciple Orochimaru was arrogant and arrogant, and even if he defected to Konoha, he would not be able to give up these arrogance.

   Unless this rebel organization is very special, it will attract his most outstanding genius disciple.

  Otherwise, Orochimaru wouldn't even look at it.

   "Yes. The exact name of that organization is unknown, and its purpose is unclear, but it is undoubtedly dangerous. You have the Anbu prepare."

  This organization has a very deep relationship with Madara, but Danzo can't grasp the exact relationship.

   But he knew that Madara had always had ulterior motives when contacting him. In this case, you can't sit still, and you can't just rely on Uchiha Itachi.

   He also has to make arrangements here, so he did not hesitate to disclose some important information to Niizhan, hoping to use the power in Rijian's hands to add trouble to this organization.

   "I see, I'll let Anbu and Jiraiya get in touch."

   "Well, my roots will also act together."

   In this way, the other side is completely out of hand.

   However, eight or nine years have passed since the original defection incident. Whether it was Hijen or Danzo, there was no longer any expectation of arresting those people.

   Unlike Orochimaru, whose foundation is still shallow, what Shiraishi and the others took away were the ninjas of the Uchiha and Hinata clans, which was no longer something Anbu could handle.

  ◎

   "Call..."

   He let out a sigh of relief, Itachi hadn't laughed so happily in a long time.

   "Sure enough, only being with Shishui will make me stronger."

   Unable to participate in the Chunin Exam, Na Itachi can only continue to sharpen his talents and make himself stronger.

Every battle between    and Shishui makes me feel extremely fulfilled.

   After this battle, Itachi was out of breath and consumed most of the chakra, but the application of Huo Dun and Sharinyan was even better.

   "Actually, the patriarch is a stronger ninja than me."

   Zhishui said with a smile.

   "Father is busy with business, and it is impossible to teach me all the time."

  Itachi shook his head helplessly.

   He knew that this was Zhishui's modest words. In Itachi's opinion, Zhishui's strength may have surpassed his father's.

   He had this strong feeling.

   Every time he looked directly at Zhishui's writing wheel eye, he had an inexplicable feeling of palpitations.

   As if the water-stopping writing wheel is hiding some more terrifying power.

   "That's right, I'm also a Joinin, so I can participate in the core meeting at Nanga Shrine..."

   Zhishui thought of this and couldn't help sighing.

   Every time the topic of discussion is only around the five generations of Hokage, or the topic of venting all kinds of dissatisfaction with the village, it is not like the restraint that a wealthy family should have, but a group of vicious thugs who are undisciplined.

   Since the death of the fourth Hokage, this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, and it has intensified.

   Zhishui is really worried that if this continues to evolve, it will lead to irreversible disasters.

   "Shishui must be under a lot of pressure on you."

   He didn't know what Shishui was doing, but the tiredness on his face and eyes couldn't be faked, Itachi asked.

"fine."

   Zhishui smiled, hiding the tired look on his face.

   Joining Anbu to monitor the village and clan, he did it according to his own will.

   He couldn't completely leave the clan and join the Hokage's banner. Likewise, it would be too narrow to look at things from the eyes of a clan.

   He wants to find a balance between the village and the family, so that the village and the Uchiha family can let go of their prejudices~www.readwn.com~ and live in peace. At present, there is no hope of reconciliation. The radicals in the family and the Danzo in the roots do not want the two sides to reconcile. There must be a compromise.

   "Stop talking about me, but then again, has a stranger come to you recently, Itachi?"

  Shishui thought of the request of the third Hokage Sun Zhan, and hoped that Itachi would not have anything to do with Danzo, otherwise it would be very troublesome.

  Itachi is the outstanding talent he found in the Uchiha family. In the future, he will definitely join the Anbu directly under Hokage, and the road to promotion will be smooth.

  Although the root is also a branch of Anbu, they touch very different things.

   Being too involved with the root will only ruin Itachi's future.

  Itachi heard Shishui suddenly ask this question, and quickly remembered something.

   That was a sullen man who came looking for him a few days ago.

   A man named Shimura Danzo.

   (PS: Double update tomorrow, I’m a little tired today, don’t worry, the missing chapter will definitely be made up)
