Escape From Konoha

   Chapter 262

   After coming down from Nanga Shrine, Itachi did not return home with his father Fugaku, but went to the open woods not far from the shrine.

   is where he usually cultivates, where Zhishui has already arrived here one step ahead of himself.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching behind, Shisui turned around and smiled at Itachi: "Congratulations, Itachi, not only became a Chunin, but was also recommended to be a member of Anbu, it's really incredible. "

   Ten-year-old Anbe, this is the youngest Anbe in Konoha's history.

  Shishui can see that the people who gather in the shrine are proud of Itachi from the bottom of their hearts.

   Because this is the embodiment of the power of the Uchiha clan.

   It is true that Itachi is a ninja with a lot of ninja talent, but if there is no writing wheel eye, and there is no inclination of family resources, it is impossible to have such an achievement today.

   In the eyes of the clansmen, it is time for Itachi to give back to the family.

   Entered Anbu to monitor the movements of Anbu and the village's top leaders for the Uchiha family. The Uchiha family needed to control first-hand information.

   "Stop making fun of me, Shishui."

  Itachi shook his head helplessly, not looking as happy as he imagined.

  Thinking of the extremely extreme thoughts of the clansmen towards the village and the high-level people during the gathering, a haze arose in their hearts.

  If the Uchiha clan rises up, then Konoha will definitely fall into the quagmire of war, causing countless deaths.

  War... A trace of pain flashed in Itachi's eyes.

  I, who had already experienced the pain of war at the age of four, hated the occurrence of war immensely.

In any case, the clansmen who wanted to start an internal war did not realize what kind of pain their actions would bring to Konoha and the Kingdom of Fire... Regardless of the overall situation, they involved countless innocent people for the benefit of the clan Come in, how can this kind of thing happen?

   But stop... Itachi couldn't think of a way.

   He didn't know what method and position he should use to stop the inflated ambitions of the clansmen.

   "Are you distressed by the extreme thoughts of the clansmen, Itachi?"

   The smile on Shishui's face disappeared, or rather, there was no expression left.

   Shisui like this is the first time Itachi has seen.

   "Stop water, how did you..."

   "How did I know? You are a child who likes to think since you were a child. You will be troubled by this kind of thing, it's just a matter of course."

   Shishui said.

   "As expected of you, Shishui."

   The self who tried to hide his inner emotions at the party just now was seen through by Shisui at a glance. Itachi admires Shisui's keen insight.

  Whether it is the use of the wheel-shaking technique or the observation of words and colors, Zhishui must far surpass himself.

The people of the    clan call themselves a genius rarely seen in the family for 20 years, which makes Itachi feel ashamed.

A title like    should be placed on Shishui's body.

   "Don't blame the clansmen for having this idea, they are forced to do so."

   "A last resort?"

   "Yes, during the second generation of Hokage, the Uchiha family was faintly rejected. This is the bane left over from history. The reason why they have extreme ideas is that they have nowhere to go."

   "Are you unwilling to give up the glory of a family?"

   Stop the water silently.

   There are reasons for this.

  Because many Uchihas are self-reliant as the founder of Konoha, this is also where the Uchihas are easily criticized.

  Blind arrogance and ignorance of the world.

   The Uchiha clan who only pursue strength, only see their own strength in their eyes.

  Uchiha is now isolated by many ninja tribes in the village, both external and internal.

   The clansmen who awakened Sharinyan are too arrogant and a little dissatisfied, it is easy to think about extreme actions.

   Now you may just talk about it verbally, and in the future... Maybe you will realize your verbal extreme ideas.

   At that time, it was really bad.

  Whether a family is destroyed or Konoha is caught in a never-ending war, it is something Shisui does not want to see.

After clearing up his complicated feelings, Shishui said to Itachi: "I'm also thinking about how the village and the family get along, but it's not enough to rely on me alone. Now that you have joined Anbu, we can work together to find a way for the family and the family to get along. A way for the village to live in peace."

  Itachi nodded, he thought so too.

The ideas of the    people are too extreme, and whether they succeed or not, they will bring huge trauma to Konoha.

   This kind of thing must be stopped.

   "So please. It is not only necessary to change the clan's view of the village, but also the high-level views of our clan. When things have developed to this point, it is no longer an internal problem of our clan, and there may be some problems on the high-level side."

   Shisui hopes that Itachi can convey to the high-level the difficult situation of the Uchiha clan today, rather than simply monitoring their clan.

   Such extreme practices make it impossible for the family and the village to get along well.

   Because this can only be done by Itachi.

   He is the son of the head of the Uchiha clan, and in terms of identity, Shisui cannot be compared.

  Now, Itachi has also been selected as Anbu, and has direct access to the top of the village.

   And Shisui is different, although he is also Anbu, but in fact this Anbu identity, only one of the three generations of Hokage knows.

  Hikaru is completely useless to convince the three generations of Hokage.

   At the same time, it is necessary to explain all this to the two advisors, as well as the leader of the root group Shimura Danzo, and to persuade all the high-level officials to change all this.

   Now only Itachi is qualified to do this.

  Itachi is not only Anbu, but also the son of the Uchiha clan's patriarch. His opinion will never sit idly by the top and will definitely be considered carefully.

  Shishui is full of expectations for the future. The real bridge between the village and the high-level communication has been set up. If the two sides negotiate well, the unnecessary disputes between the Uchiha clan and the village can definitely be avoided.

  ◎

  In the Anbu headquarters building.

  In an empty room, all Anbu members of the second team gathered.

   The second team has four subordinate classes, and the fifth to eighth classes of Anbu are all under the jurisdiction of the second team.

   And now Itachi is standing next to the sub-commander of the second division of Anbu——

   Hatake Kakashi.

   He is the sub-captain of the second division of Anbu.

   Konoha's second generation of white teeth.

  His father, Konoha Baiya, seems to have committed suicide at home because of something. He perfectly inherited his father's swordsmanship and will.

   was also the target that Itachi chased and longed for.

  Itachi thinks that graduating at the age of seven and becoming the Chunin himself at the age of ten is good enough, but Kakashi graduated at the age of five and passed the Chunin exam at the age of six.

   His talent made most of Konoha's ninjas feel ashamed and secretly ashamed.

  Future is likely to be one of the strong candidates for the fifth Hokage.

   "From today, Itachi Uchiha is a member of our team."

  Kakashi stood at the front of the four Anbu classes and introduced Itachi to his subordinates.

   Kakashi, who is already a division leader, rarely has the opportunity to go out to perform tasks.

   More often, he stayed in Konoha, directing the actions of the four Anbu squads below.

   "Hello everyone, I'm Itachi Uchiha."

  Itachi, who is only ten years old, looks very small and stands out among the adults.

The four Anbu classes below    stared at Itachi with questions, curiosity, and disgust, as if to see through him completely.

  Itachi also noticed the convergence of these eyes and looked at his Anbu with disgust, probably because he had the surname 'Uchiha'.

   The other party and the Uchiha clan have irreconcilable festivals.

   "Itachi, your team is the sixth shift, and there happens to be a vacancy there."

   Kakashi pointed to the location of the sixth shift.

   There are only three people there, a squad leader, plus two team members, and a third person is missing.

   The third member of the sixth squad is now filled by Itachi.

"Yes."

  Itachi walked to the sixth shift.

   The three Anbu ninjas of the sixth class were one of the few teams that did not cast a disgusting look at him. This was also Kakashi's consideration, and Itachi was very grateful.

   If you stay in the Anbu team that is dissatisfied with his surname, it is likely to cause the team to split.

   "Tianzo, I will leave Itachi to you to guide him and let him get used to the rhythm of Anbu as soon as possible."

   Kakashi told the squad leader of the sixth squad Anbu.

"Yes."

   Anbu ninja named Tenzo nodded slightly, indicating that he knew.

   Kakashi then dismissed the meeting and left the room.

  The Anbu also left one after another to continue the unfinished mission.

   Anbu's meeting has always been short and direct. Today's meeting is just to introduce a new team member. After the introduction, it will naturally not waste unnecessary time.

  The running-in of Anbu can be done directly in the usual tasks.

   Until the end, only the sixth shift where Itachi was staying stayed in the room.

   "As you can see, I am Tenzo, the squad leader of the sixth class, and you will be managed by me from now on, Uchiha Itachi."

"Understood."

  Itachi nodded understandingly.

   In terms of voice and body shape, his squad leader is not very old, he should be fifteen or sixteen years old.

   At this age, he became the squad leader in Anbu. It can be said that he is quite a senior.

   "After that, you can give yourself a code name so that you can move easily. Now come with me and go to the location of the mission."

  Tianzo looked at Itachi with inexplicable eyes, making Itachi a little puzzled.

   But Itachi didn't ask, he just followed Tianzo, and there were two other Anbu.

  ◎

  Itachi was shocked when he saw the setting in the room.

  Somewhere in the basement of the Anbu headquarters building, it was completely closed all around, and there was only one door that could be used as an entrance.

   And the surveillance screen, there is no doubt that it is a place that Itachi is very familiar with - the Uchiha clan.

  From the streets of the clan, to the training place of ninjas, and even outside the Nanga Shrine, they were all closely monitored.

  This is where he works?

   In the center of the room, Kakashi stood there motionless and stared at the screen. Seeing Tianzang's sixth shift coming in, he just silently gestured to let them hurry up and get into work.

   The 6th squad is cooperating with the monitoring of the Uchiha clan, and there are also four Anbe from the 5th squad.

   24-hour uninterrupted surveillance of the Uchiha clan.

   "The Nine-Tails Incident, as you know, we Konoha lost four generations of Hokage-sama. And according to accurate information, there are ghosts in the Uchiha clan."

   Tianzang explained in a low voice.

   "Inner ghost?"

   "It was placed in the Uchiha clan when Uchiha Liuli defected ten years ago. The death of the fourth Hokage is likely related to her."

   After hearing Tenzo's words, Itachi could not help clenching his fists.

   He had heard of the name Uchiha Ruri in the past, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He only knew that he was a very powerful Uchiha ninja who defected to Konoha for unknown reasons.

   It's just that he didn't expect that the defection of the other party would bring such a major disaster to the family.

   If she hadn't defected and murdered four generations of Hokage, the Uchiha family would never have ended up in such a situation.

   So, who is this inner ghost?

   A person...or a group? Or are most of the clansmen involved?

  Itachi felt cold all over.

   The oppressive aura made it hard for him to breathe.

  Tianzo patted Itachi on the shoulder and said, "It's not your fault. However, I hope you can keep the matter here a secret. It would be troublesome to expose it."

   "Yes. I won't say it."

  Itachi knew that the family had already suspected that Anbu was watching them.

   But they never imagined that Anbu's surveillance of the Uchiha family was so intensive.

   If those clan members with radical ideas know about it, it will definitely prompt them to execute the coup d’etat faster.

  This matter must be concealed.

  Tianzo didn't understand why Itachi was placed in such a place, but he also knew that this was not Kakashi's intention, but the consideration from a higher level, the Hokage.

   Temptation? Tian Zang secretly said in his heart.

   It's really troublesome, this kind of thing is not something he can handle as an Anbu.

"Very good. You have to remember that you are now Anbu of Konoha. There are only missions and villages here, and there is no clan. Now you are Konoha's Uchiha Itachi, not the surname Uchiha who is fighting. ."

   This is the most important rule of Anbu.

   The ninjas who joined here are all for the village of Konoha.

   No matter which ninja tribe they came from before, what kind of special background they have.

   As long as you join Anbu and wear a mask, you must give up everything, consider everything from the standpoint of the village, and give priority to obeying the orders of the village's top management. This is an impossible principle for Anbu to change.

   "I understand that personal feelings cannot be entrained in the mission."

  Itachi has such an awareness.

   Anbu is an organization that only elite ninjas can join.

   Those who can enter it are all ninjas with a strong will of fire and excellent strength, and will be approved by the high-level leaders such as Naruto.

   If you can make a name for yourself here, then it is not a delusion to get a place in the center of the village.

   After that, he aims to become Hokage and becomes Uchiha's first Hokage.

   In this way, Shisui's wish has been fulfilled. As long as he can become Hokage, the estrangement between the village and the Uchiha family will naturally cease to exist.

After   , in the name of Naruto, he would frequently contact with the senior leaders of the rest of the Ninja Village, start diplomacy, and get the help of the rest of the Ninja Village and the Ninja, then the war would naturally not happen again.

  The daimyo does not have the capital to start another war.

  The ninja world will win peace.

   An unprecedentedly clear route is displayed in Itachi's mind, making Itachi full of motivation to act.

   Therefore, becoming the best ninja in Anbu is the first step.

   "Your work position is here, don't put too much pressure on it. At least so far, we have not found evidence of collusion with the rebellion in the Uchiha clan... It is also a test for you."

  Tianzo arranged Itachi in a certain corner and let him sit in the corresponding position, surrounded by a large number of screens. All the movements of the Uchiha family were presented on the screen and printed in Itachi's eyes.

  ◎

  The country of ghosts, border villages.

Although it seems to be a small village isolated from the world, a few years ago, the country of ghosts completed the nationwide road construction work, which strengthened the communication and management between the various towns in the country of ghosts, centralized power, and decrees. It can be conveyed accurately and clearly in the first time.

   Even if there is an accident, the security forces in the city will arrive at the scene as soon as possible to solve the problem for the people.

   is no longer a simple form of hiring ninjas to solve problems for the people... Rather, it is a matter of course for the people of the country of ghosts who pay taxes every year to enjoy the protection of the state.

   It is absolutely impossible to pay ninjas to solve problems in a purely traditional 'hire' model.

  Otherwise, the people's sense of identity with the country will be reduced, which is not conducive to the rule of the country. The people will also resist the payment of taxes. After a certain level of brewing, riots will be launched.

   This kind of thing is not uncommon even within the borders of the five major countries.

   It is a common practice for people from all over the world to pay ninjas to solve incidents.

   But hiring ninjas is not a small expense.

  Civilians with few sources of income, not only have to pay taxes, but also pay another sum of money to hire ninjas. If things go on like this, only the rich can do it if they can hire ninjas.

   Therefore, it is also obvious that ninjas have gradually become tools for oppressing civilians in the hands of the powerful.

  Because of understanding these drawbacks, Shiraishi made up his mind to change this situation, and the effect was surprisingly good. The people's sense of identity with the country and the government was unprecedentedly high.

   Now you only need to pay taxes, you can be sheltered by the state and the government, and there is no need for additional expenses to ask the ninja to solve the incident.

  People naturally have a high sense of identity with the garrison and the ninjas who belong to the military, and will not regard them as the lackeys of the powerful to oppress the bottom.

  In the event of an accident, it will also be reported to the town's guard force as soon as possible.

   In this border village, the guard ninjas in the nearby towns felt the scene immediately after getting the news and conducted a survey.

  According to the villagers of this village, there are monsters in the village at night, who are tall and make a rumbling sound when they walk.

  Eyes also light up at night.

   The villagers, who realized that things were not easy, immediately asked the town guard for help.

   Two guard ninjas, one of them squatted down and used his palm to trace the sunken footprints on the ground. The concrete road was trampled, and cracks appeared next to the footprints.

   When that 'monster' was walking around, it was very powerful, probably even more powerful than the beasts in the forest.

   "This kind of footprint is not human, but it is very different from the footprints of all the beasts I know."

   The ninja shook his head, unable to distinguish what mark this monster left when walking.

   Just walking around can crack the hard concrete road, which is really strange.

  The other ninja also shook his head, just holding a pen and writing in the notebook, accurately writing the information of the footprints on it.

  Then took out the camera from the backpack, took pictures of the footprints on the road, and went back to let the specialists identify them. What kind of footprints were stepped on by a 'monster'.

   At this moment, an old man came tremblingly, and it was the village chief of this border village.

   "This may be the traces of the Terracotta Warriors."

   "Terracotta Warriors?"

   The two ninjas raised their eyebrows.

   "I also just remembered, because the memory is too long ago. The Terracotta Warriors are soldiers controlled by monsters... Only the monsters can control them. They have the powerful power to ravage and smash the earth."

  The village chief's face was full of worry.

The monster sprite has always been an undead monster entrenched in the land of ghosts. Many elderly people in the land of ghosts have heard of this legend. In the past, they have seen the sprite control the army with their own eyes, attack human towns, and cause destruction. and destruction.

  For thousands of years, the shrine maiden has guarded this country and fought against the sprites, but there is still no winner.

  The country of ghosts is also a dangerous country.

   But even so, many people came to take refuge because the war outside was more terrifying than monsters.

   "Is that so? Monsters... We know, don't go out these days, we will contact the nearby shrines, and if the monsters really make trouble, let the witches of the shrines perform the exorcism ceremony."

There are many strange creatures in the    ninja world.

   Monster is one of them.

   The upper level has already ordered, if there are traces of monsters, immediately ask the nearest shrine for support.

  If you want to seal the monster, you can only rely on the power of the witch, and the ninja will be very disadvantaged when dealing with monsters.

   "Then please, please report this matter to Maitreya Maitreya immediately. Only Maitreya-sama can deal with such a powerful monster."

  The village chief looked worried, if it was what he had guessed, the country of ghosts would soon be restless.

  ◎

   "Really, a neutral country has such a strict military district... Don't they want to be a neutral country?"

   There was a bonfire in the cave at night, and several Yunyin ninjas sat around the bonfire, and one of them began to complain.

   They are spies who secretly infiltrated the country of ghosts and collected secret military intelligence in the country of ghosts.

   But in the past two years, they have never had the chance to enter any military area in the country of ghosts.

   As long as you get close, you will be sensed by the perception ninja there.

   The alert system there is too exaggerated.

   It's not that no one paid attention to such a big move by a neutral country, but that no country has mentioned it on the surface. Using ninjas to spy on intelligence is the best way.

   "No way, this is the order of Raikage-sama... Moreover, we have been active in the country of ghosts for so long, but we have been discovered long ago. It's just that they are afraid of the country of thunder behind us and ignore it."

  Junin captain sighed helplessly.

   In a country of ghosts with that kind of alert level, it is impossible not to discover this at all, otherwise they would have sneaked into the military area and obtained the first mobile phone secret information.

   "What's next?"

   "Continue to work, the above didn't let us go back, I guess I still haven't given up."

   "But it goes on like this..."

   Before the Yunyin Ninja finished speaking, the captain of the Shang Ninja hissed and signaled to be quiet.

  The rest of the team also quieted down, sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

  Invariably, they looked towards the entrance of the cave~www.readwn.com~ A gloomy wind blew in from outside and put out the bonfire.

  The cave immediately plunged into darkness.

   "Thunderbolt Lightning Flash!"

At the moment when the bonfire was extinguished,   Junin captain moved quickly with his eyes and hands. After the seal was formed, a sharp lightning spear was ejected from his mouth, penetrating the darkness of the night and hitting a certain location.

   Under the moonlight, a cloud of purple-black mist flew out of the shadows.

  The lightning gun penetrated through the purple-black mist, shattering the rocks in the distance.

"what!?"

   Ignoring Yunyin Shangnin's Thunder Ninjutsu, a sinister laughter emanated from the purple-black light mist, and rushed towards several Yunyin at a very fast speed, enclosing them in the mist.

   The shrill cry continued for a few seconds, and the cave returned to silence.

   Outside the cave, pair after pair of eyes lit up, all over the mountains and plains.

   A tall stone statue soldier stood upright, holding a stone blade, where the wind was blowing, standing still, rendering the mountains and forests into a dead abyss.
