Escape From Konoha

The sudden appearance of Jiaodu caused a huge reversal of the situation here in an instant.

The mysterious color that blends in with the night, and the powerful aura that still unnaturally overflows even if it converges to the extreme, shows his presence all the time, and is extremely dangerous to those present.

"You are……"

Jiraiya was surprised to see Kakuto who suddenly came out of the dark. He didn't realize that there was such a dangerous ninja here. Then, his expression became serious, and the nerves in his whole body began to tense.

From Jiaodu's body, he felt a huge pressure.

A ninja with such aura is by no means unusual.

"Don't be nervous, I have no intention of fighting against your Konoha ninjas. The purpose of my coming here is to collect debts. After I dig out the money owed on him, you can do whatever you want."

Just as Jiraiya was jealous of himself, Kakuto was also troubled by Jiraiya's strength.

Fighting a ninja of this level would be impossible in a short period of time, and there might be a risk of failure.

However, as a debt collector at the top of the pyramid, he can't smash his own brand.

It would be great if conflicts could be resolved through negotiation.

It's really not possible, just to experience the strength of Konoha Sannin, I shouldn't let myself be disappointed.

"Are you kidding? This is a serious criminal."

As for Jiaodu's request, Jiraiya chose to refuse without hesitation.

Moreover, Jiao Du's outfit, as well as the golden medal hanging on the black coat, all showed the identity of the other party.

Although it is not affiliated with the military of the country of ghosts, it also serves the financial institutions of the country of ghosts.

When it fell into his hands, it was equivalent to falling into the hands of the army of the country of ghosts.

"So, are you going to interfere with my debt collection?"

Jiaodu's voice suddenly became dull, with a trace of untraceable coldness.

But the senses of the people present were very keen, and when they noticed the change of attitude before and after Kaoru, the ninjas who belonged to Konoha's side immediately became vigilant.

And he fixed his gaze firmly on Jiao Du, for fear that a surprise attack from the other party would catch them off guard.

Being attacked by ninjas of this level, most people cannot guarantee that they will survive.

Jiraiya also took a step forward, blocking the strong murderous aura emanating from Jiaodu, with a calm expression on his face, but secretly smeared a thick layer of chakra on the soles of his feet in response to Jiaodu's surprise attack.

"Hey, what should I do now? Do you want a strategic shift?"

Yamazaki went to Aya's side and asked quietly.

Every ninja here is very terrifying. If he is involved in the battlefield of this level of ninja, even if he flies high in the sky and has an air superiority, he may not be able to protect his own life.

Intuition told him that if he got involved in the battlefield, he would die miserably.

"No, the reinforcements have arrived."

Cai shook his head, then turned his head and looked up, as if he had found something.

Aware of Aya's gaze, Yamazaki couldn't help but look up the rock wall behind him.

I saw above the rock wall, one after another silhouettes flashed under the moonlight, one...five...eleven...seventeen...the number soon exceeded twenty.

These people stood uniformly on the edge of the cliff, their clothes danced in the wind, either indifferently or with stern gazes, forming a clear confrontation with Konoha's ninjas.

Seeing these people appear, Yamazaki Hisahi's heartbeat finally calmed down, and he felt extremely relieved.

After all, Konoha has a lot of people and if they fight, it will definitely be a one-to-many situation, or facing an elite like Anbu, with his strength, he will soon retire.

But the situation is different now. In terms of numbers, their side is not less than Konoha's ninjas, and even more.

Even if you fight, you can ensure that your own people can retreat completely.

Jiraiya also noticed the appearance of this group of people, and frowned.

Half of the more than 20 ninjas who suddenly appeared above the rock wall were debt collectors affiliated to the Shion Flower Merchant Association. Besides, the rest of the ninjas were wandering witches and ninjas from the army of the country of ghosts. constitute.

In terms of strength alone, Konoha's side is definitely more dominant. After all, here are the elites of Anbu and Roots, and basically all have the strength of the upper ninja.

However, the number of ninjas in the country of ghosts who have come to support is large, and the advantage of the number of people can make up for the gap in strength. If there is a conflict here, it is hard to say who will die. The biggest possibility is that both sides will suffer, and both sides will lose more than the gains.

"Lord Jiraiya, let's retreat here first. It is very unwise to have a conflict with them here. At this time, let's send Naruto back to Konoha safely."

Tenzo flashed to Jiraiya's side with the Shunshu technique and whispered in his ear.

Naruto has been rescued, and there is no need to conflict with the people of the country of ghosts here. It will be bad if another accident happens.

After listening to Jiraiya, he glanced at his corner and locked his eyes. With the other party staring at him, even if he made a surprise attack, the effect would not be great.

Thinking of this, Jirai couldn't help but sigh, and said to Jiaodu, "I'll give you a face this time, you can take it away."

"Smart choice, this is the best outcome for both of us."

The lowness in Jiaodu's tone also dissipated a little, and the cold murderous aura gradually faded from his green eyes.

Then, Jiao Du walked over to the tall and thin man, and carried him on his shoulders as cargo.

And this weight, diagonally, is as light as nothing.

"I will take this person away first, and I will hand over the money to your military for interrogation after I get the money out of him first."

After speaking, Jiao Du's figure flashed and disappeared from everyone's field of vision, not knowing where he went.

And the ninjas of the land of ghosts above the rock wall, when they see the corners, they all leave, and they also disperse one by one.

The tense atmosphere that was about to break out with Konoha Ninja was receding like a tide, and it seemed that the two sides had never been against each other.

"Let's go too."

Cai gestured to Xiang Rin and Yamazaki Hisa with her eyes, ready to leave.

"Wait, that kid over there."

Jiraiya's voice came from behind.

Cai paused in footsteps and turned to look at Jiraiya in confusion.

"Are you calling me, Jiraiya Joinin?"

"That's right."

"can I help you?"

There was even more doubt in Cai's eyes.

It stands to reason that he and Jiraiya have never had contact with each other in the past, and the two sides have no contact with each other. I don't know why the other party stopped me.

"You... are Chiba Shiraishi's son."

Said for sure.

"That's really my father. Jiraiya Jonin has something to say, do you want me to entrust it to my father?"

Ayana put the sniper rifle behind her back, looking at Jiraiya and asking.

"There is nothing to say between me and him. But as an elder, I still want to persuade him that if he does too much injustice, he will kill himself. I hope he can do it well and don't make mistakes again and again. Tell him this, I think he will understand."

Zilai also said earnestly.

"Really? I understand, I will tell him this sentence as it is."

Aya nodded obediently, as if she respected Jiraiya, the senior ninja.

But at the moment of turning around, the coldness in Cai's eyes flashed away, jumping three or two to the rock wall, and the figure disappeared on the cliff.

Xiang Rin and Yamazaki Hisisa looked at each other, perhaps in the eyes of others, Cai's reaction was nothing, on the contrary, it was quite normal. But as teammates, they knew very well that this was a precursor to the opponent's anger.

"I hope that child will have some starting point."

Looking at the direction where Cai disappeared under the moonlight, Jiraiya sighed again.

As a family member, it might be able to play a role, this is Jiraiya's inner thought.

"Aya, don't worry about Konoha Ninja's words, Shiraishi-sama is not the kind of person they imagined at all."

Karin, who catches up with Aya with Hisayama Yamazaki, comforts her.

The task of chasing the four-day elephants of the Craftsman Ninja Village has been completed. The next thing they do is to join the team led by Kamijin Uchiha Yan, and then they can cross the country of ghosts instead.

"That's right, thanks to that person called Jiraiya, who is still a senior in the Shinobi world, he will only speak ill of others. Maybe it's because he was defeated by Lord Shiraishi, and he is jealous."

Yamazaki Hisaya also comforted, and his face became indignant.

Hearing the words of consolation from the two, Cai just shook his head and replied: "Don't worry, you two, I'm not angry because of those words. I know very well what Dad's reputation is in the mouths of other big countries, even in Most of Xiaoguo's mouth will not have good words, and I hope that the people who fall down are not many. Konoha's Jiraiya is just one of them."

Cai never thought that his father would be changed by the thoughts of others.

That is a man who unswervingly implements his beliefs, and will not be diverted by any foreign objects once he has set his goals.

If Jirai wanted him to retell it, even if he went back and retold it, it wouldn't attract the man's attention at all.

Perhaps, there is no need to even relay it to him.

Just a crap.

"Then go to meet with Teacher Yan, and then return to the country of ghosts. It's been a long time since I came out."

Aya forgot about Jiraiya's problems, and just wanted to return to the country as soon as possible.

"Actually, it's not bad to go out to perform tasks like the rest of the troops. Just to perform patrol tasks on the border. To be honest, although life is comforting, it is too calm, and there is no passion for being a ninja at all."

Xiang Rin catches up with Cai's footsteps and expresses her emotions.

"There is no passion in the life of a ninja. As newbies, it is not bad for us to be able to get the border patrol duties."

Yamazaki Hisa retorted Xiang Rin.

"Don't take me with you if you're timid yourself. I want to become a Jōnin sooner and get rid of the status of a pawn."

Xiang Rin snorted softly.

"In this war-free era, it's not so easy to become a Jōnin. If it was five years ago, maybe you could have a little military skills. But we were still in the ninja school at that time, and it was too late no matter what. ."

Yamazaki can see clearly.

Today, the situation in various countries is stable. Although there are occasional frictions, they are basically restrained.

This also led to the fact that today's ninjas want to be promoted, unless they are talented, and the rest can only continue to boil their qualifications, accumulate merits, and advance step by step.

Unusual promotions like in wartime are difficult to happen in peacetime.

Not only the country of ghosts, but the ninjas of other countries are basically the same.

"So, as long as I can become a Jōnin before the age of 30, I will be satisfied."

Speaking of this, Yamazaki Hisahi also flashed a longing color in his eyes.

As a result, after he finished saying these words, Xiang Rin fell into silence.

"Why don't you speak, are you scared by my ambition?"

Yamazaki asked.

"No, I'm just shocked that you are optimistic that you can still be a joinin in this life. Generally speaking, a chunin or a special joinin is the end of your life."

Hearing Xiang Rin's merciless words, Yamazaki Hisahi's mouth twitched.

"I'm really sorry, I can't learn the secret technique, and I don't have the limit of blood.

He also knew very well that at this level of his own, it was wishful thinking to want to become a Jōnin.

Which Jōnin doesn't have any of his own unique skills. And his own unique skills are basically on the foreign objects such as forbearance equipment.

"I will really make excuses for myself. So usually don't play with your ninja gear. If you want to become a jounin, you need to work **** taijutsu and ninjutsu. Your close-up tactics are too dangerous. During the exam, I almost killed myself, and when I met a powerful ninja, there was no room for your blasting tactics, except to die together."

Facing Xiang Rin's tirade-like preaching, Yamazaki Hisisa just snorted, neither refuting nor admitting it.

He also knew that once he lost air superiority and had to fight the enemy on land, his tactical flaws would likely be caught by a powerful enemy and exploited, becoming the best tool for suicide.

But if you want to make your own attacks more lethal, taking risks is essential.

Xiang Rin said these words mostly because she was finally using her as a backup battery for her flight ninja, and she felt dissatisfied and resentful.

"Be quiet, the two of you, it's time to pick up your pace."

In the end, Cai made a final decision and ended the conversation between the two.

Karin and Yamazaki had no choice but to shut up and keep up with Cai and head forward.

◎

"...Hokage-sama, this is the whole process of what happened at that time."

In the Hokage office, Jiraiya and Tianzang appeared here, and Tianzang explained the whole process to Tsunade at that time.

From the disappearance of Naruto, to the pursuit, in order to rescue Naruto, Sai was severely injured by the four-day elephants of the craftsman ninja village, and the conflict with the ninja of the country of ghosts almost broke out... In the end, he took a step back, so that the two sides left in peace.

Although Tianzang's narrative was very bland, Tsunade still heard a lot of danger from it.

The consequences of Naruto's disappearance will not be repeated, but once there is a conflict with the country of ghosts, it will also cause very serious consequences.

Fortunately, there was no conflict in the end, otherwise, as Hokage's Tsunade, he would not be able to sit here peacefully, but would have to convene a high-level meeting urgently.

"Sword Comes"

"Tianzang, you handled this matter well. At that time, if you can avoid conflicts, try to avoid conflicts as long as you bring Naruto back. The rest of the issues are secondary."

The importance of Naruto to Konoha is self-evident, this is the most important thing compared to dealing with the issue of belonging to the Four Heavenly Elephants.

If Naruto had an accident, even if he brought back the Four Heavenly Elephant Man who stole Naruto, it would be meaningless.

"However, in the case of Naruto's disappearance, you have to pay most of the responsibility for it."

Tsunade's words changed, his tone became severe, and his sharp eyes pointed directly to both sides of Tianzang.

Seemingly feeling Tsunade's sharp gaze, Tianzang couldn't help lowering his head and said in a ashamed tone: "Yes, Hokage-sama, I have nothing to shirk from the responsibility of Naruto being taken away. I can accept any punishment."

As the leader of the seventh class, Joinin, and an important member of the protection of Naruto, it was indeed a great dereliction of duty to have Naruto abducted by a group of outlaws. No matter what excuse is used to shirk it, it is difficult to completely wash it off.

"The punishment for you will come down soon, but you don't have to worry, it won't be a severe punishment, after all, your role in Naruto is irreplaceable. But after this incident, I feel that Naruto's side is placed next to him. The protective power is still insufficient, it is enough for this kind of thing to happen once, and it will never happen a second time."

Although Naruto was kidnapped once in the Land of Waves in the past, it was a 'training' close to actual combat under Konoha's deliberate arrangement.

And this time Naruto was forcibly kidnapped by the Four Heavenly Elephants, not actual combat training, but a real kidnapping incident.

If the four-day elephant man succeeds, the consequences will be disastrous.

With this in mind, Tsunade believes that the power around Naruto needs to be further strengthened.

Too much because of the existence of Kakashi, it can be appropriately reduced, the guarding power around Naruto.

However... Tianzang is not Kakashi after all, he can't replace Kakashi, and he is competent for this task with his personal strength.

Since the quality is not enough, then the quantity will make up.

But as to how many Anbu teams should be assigned to Naruto's side, it is still up for debate.

Anbu is the direct subordinate of Hokage. Although Naruto is very important to Konoha, it is impossible to concentrate most of Anbu's energy on him, otherwise Konoha's huge ninja village will not be able to operate.

"Jiraiya, do you have any good advice?"

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya who didn't say a word.

Jirai also pondered for a while, and responded to Tsunade: "My opinion is that instead of focusing on the power next to Naruto, it is better to be as strong as possible Naruto himself."

"It's easy to say, unless you let him master the power of the nine tails immediately, you can only grow step by step."

Compared with strengthening the guards around him, it is far more important to strengthen oneself. Of course, Tsunade understands this kind of thing.

However, what Naruto lacks now is time.

Arranging guards beside him is also to allow him to have time to grow up, and no accidents will occur in the process.

"I mean, Naruto has many advantages as a ninja, but also many disadvantages. Especially in terms of vigilance, with positive strength, it is impossible for the four-day elephant to catch Naruto. However, , they can subdue Naruto through sneak attacks. This is Naruto's flaw. He is too alert to the outside world, and it is difficult to guard against sudden sneak attacks."

Zilai also explained.

"Do you mean to train Naruto in this regard?"

"Well, that's about it. After all, with Naruto's current strength, it's difficult to take him down in a short period of time from the front."

If Naruto accidentally burst out the nine-tailed chakra during the process, then the one who escaped was the Jounin.

Tsunade thought about it for a moment, and gave an order to Tianzang:

"Tianzang, you are responsible for arranging the training in this area. Usually, you should also supervise Naruto's training more."

"So, the mission..."

"Well... I have given you an S-level task for the seventh class, which is to fully assist Naruto to complete the raid training and improve his alertness. The time limit is one month. There is no limit to the means. After one month, I must see Results. As for the activity funds required for the mission, Jiraiya, this matter is left to you."

Tsunade gave such a task.

But it's not so much a task as a mandate to enforce it.

"Wait, why am I paying for the event? Isn't this money supposed to come from the village?"

Jiraiya, who had been subjected to the unpredictable disaster, looked at Tsunade with some dumbfoundedness.

"Do you have any opinion? I haven't settled the matter with you last time, and the novels you wrote have made a lot of money recently. For you, the cost of these tasks is only a drop in the bucket. Now it's time for you to pay for it. It's time for the village to contribute."

"...Well, I promise."

Zilai also silently agreed.

"Don't feel like a loss, anyway, you don't have any children and descendants. The money you save in the bank will belong to the village when you go there. Now it's just an advance payment, and you should use less money in the future. A few times of fooling around in Fengyuechang can save it."

"That's not fooling around, I'm collecting important information there!"

Hearing Tsunade say that he was going to the Fengyue place to fool around, Jiraiya immediately blushed and retorted, and loudly proved that he was there to gather information.

However, when he said this, his confidence was a little underwhelming.

Because it is true to go there to collect information, but it is also true to go there to enjoy the attentive service of the waitress.

After all, as a well-known best-selling author in the ninja world, if you want to write words that move readers, you must achieve the unity of knowledge and action.

That is a practice that can be called truth, not just for lustful things.

Especially in front of Tsunade, he didn't want to admit it.

"Who knows." Tsunade looked at Tianzang, "Tianzang, you go down first, for the next month, your seventh class has no mission to go out. Regarding the new **** team, I still need to think about it, for the time being that's it."

"Yes, then I will say goodbye first, Hokage-sama."

Tianzang nodded and turned to leave.

"Have you found the reason why the Four Heavenly Elephants kidnapped Naruto?"

After Tianzang left, Tsunade asked Jiraiya.

The expression on Jiraiya's face was solemn, and he nodded: "The investigation has come out, they want to use the power of the nine tails in Naruto to obtain a powerful chakra, and then use the ninja tools in their hands to take the ancestors of the Craftsman Ninja Village. Resurrection to achieve the goal of dominating the ninja world."

"...Relying on that kind of thing also wants to dominate the ninja world, really a group of guys who like fantasy."

Tsunade stood up from the seat~www.readwn.com~ walked to the window, looked out the window at the street scene at dusk, and sighed.

Even so, it also shows that the contradictions between big countries and small countries are so deeply rooted.

After all, the one that forced the Craftsman Ninja Village to this state was not, strictly speaking, the land of ghosts.

The country of ghosts just happened to be a meeting, and it became the last straw that overwhelmed Takumi Ninja Village.

It was the former five kingdoms who really persecuted the Craftsman Ninja Village and caused the Four Heavenly Elephant Man to make this decision.

The Craftsman Ninja Village, which produces high-quality ninja tools for the ninja villages of various countries, was forced by Konoha and other ninja villages in the past. It is not allowed to sell ninja tools to other ninja villages, otherwise sanctions will be imposed.

However, as a Ninja village in a small country, how could it have the qualifications to resist. Because this is the joint pressure from the five major Ninja villages, selling to one party will inevitably offend the other party. But no matter which party's anger, the Craftsman Ninja Village can't bear it.

As a result, the Craftsman Ninja Village, which was forced to be involved in the disputes between the Ninja Villages of the great country, has an end that can be imagined.

The sophisticated ninja tools they built were purchased in large quantities at cheap prices by various ninja villages on the charge of violating the contract.

The food and clothing of the villagers in Craftsman's Ninth Village became a problem later, and many villagers were forced to leave and look for opportunities to survive elsewhere.

Therefore, the Craftsman Ninja Village finally gave birth to the radicals of the Four Heavens Elephant Man, who were extremely hostile and hostile to the great powers.

"Don't worry, Tsunade, this will all be fine. Soon, there will be true peace in both big and small countries."

Jiraiya followed Tsunade to look out the window at the street scene, the people who were busy at dusk, so ordinary and lovely.

As long as the children of prophecy are cultivated, such a peaceful and peaceful scene, whether it is a big country or a small country, will eventually be realized one by one.

All injustice, war, and suffering in this world will be wiped out by the Son of Prophecy.
