Escape From Konoha

There were only Zuoi and Sakura left in the single ward, while Naruto and Tenzo left the ward first.

A room with only two people is a little quiet, and it's easy to make people feel embarrassed.

However, Zuojing didn't think about it. He just kept his usual smile on Sakura and asked, "Why, Sakura, don't you leave with them?"

Ignoring Sakai's words, Sakura just looked at Sakai with serious eyes, and said solemnly, "What you said just now was deliberately stimulating Naruto."

Although it was a question, Sakura looked at Zuoi with eyes that saw through everything, as if she was very sure.

Sakai asked with a constant smile: "It's an interesting response, but I think you must have misunderstood. Besides, you don't know anything about the roots. All the people who joined this organization are the brothers and sisters of Danzo-sama. There is no such thing as 'I', so the feeling is also a drag."

"Then, why do you still carry this kind of picture book with you?"

Sakura lowered her gaze and looked at the picture book in Sakai's right hand.

Hearing these words, Zuojing subconsciously exerted force on the fingers of his right hand and clenched the painting book tightly.

Although he still had a smile on his face, this kind of smile was not even a fake smile, it was cold.

"Naruto is right, ninjas are also human beings, and human beings cannot give up their feelings. No matter who they are, when faced with major decisions, they say that they should be rational, but in most cases , people still tend to choose the emotional side. Absolute rationality does not exist in this world. That picture book is a precious memory of you and your brother in the past, and it is also a proof of your existence. "

Sakura said so.

Humans are easily infected by emotions, and are highly impulsive animals.

Zuo Jingguchi kept saying that 'I' doesn't exist, I'm Danzo's sibling, and I don't need thinking... However, when he carried this picture book with him, he was already instinctively resisting this 'rationality'.

In his heart, he did not agree with the concept of the root.

Zuoi fell silent.

"You want to try your best to prove your existence, and you want to remember yourself as a younger brother... For you, the fact that this brotherly bond exists is more important than your own life."

"... Fetters?"

It seemed that he was unfamiliar and curious about such a new vocabulary, and Zuoi couldn't help but murmured and asked.

"You'd better think about this issue."

Sakura left these words and left the ward.

"What a strange group of people..."

Looking at the direction Sakura was leaving, Sakai thought of Tianzang and Naruto again.

Maybe, you are the real strange person?

Bowing his head, Zuo Jing stared at the picture book in his hand, his eyes flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"elder brother…"

◎

"Damn! Damn! That guy, he actually said something like that! I don't want someone to protect me!"

In the deserted forest, Naruto kept hitting the trees with his fists until the bark was smashed open, the skin on the fist was cut by the rough bark, and blood flowed out. Naruto did not stop, but instead. Keep hitting trees.

Stimulated by Sakai's words, Naruto only wanted to express his dissatisfaction in this way.

Until the tree was hit by his fist, Naruto stopped his fist.

The blood dripped down the fist and fell to the ground.

"It's really unbearable for a person to come here to vent his emotions, boy."

A mocking voice suddenly came from behind, causing Naruto to turn around subconsciously, seeing Jiraiya smiling not far behind him, walking slowly towards him.

"A lecherous fairy?"

Naruto looked at Jiraiya in surprise.

"Why do you look so surprised? Inheriting Miaomushan's psychic contract, you can be considered my student...Isn't it normal to come over as a teacher to comfort you when you see a student lost?"

Zilai also said with a smile.

"I'm not lost."

Naruto's stubborn mouth hardened.

"Really? I heard everything you said to that kid at the root."

"Then, lecherous fairy, do you think that guy's words are very ugly?"

Naruto looked at Jiraiya expectantly.

And Jiraiya didn't disappoint Naruto, he nodded, but soon, he shook his head again.

"You're nodding and shaking your head again, what do you mean?"

Naruto became depressed.

"Idiot, of course, half agree and half disagree. Compared with this immortal, you still have a lot to learn."

"cut."

Naruto didn't seem to care about Jiraiya's preaching, and turned his head very upset.

"Don't be convinced. The organization at the root is not as simple as you think. It is quite normal for the boys to join your team. The ninjas who join the root must all undergo cruel training to destroy their feelings in order to turn them into A first-class killing machine."

Jiraiya patted Naruto on the head and said this.

He could see that the child named Zuojing still had a desire to break free.

It's just that the concept of the roots is too deeply ingrained for him, and it is by no means easy to break free from that bondage.

One is psychological pressure, and the other is practical pressure.

The former is easy to say, but if the latter is known by Danzo, who has doubts and welcomes Zuojing, it will be destruction in reality.

Even as Hokage's Tsunade, it's hard to keep him.

The current Danzo is not the one it used to be, and it still needs to rely on the root leader of Naruto's power.

Since the Third Ninja World War, Danzo's power has gone out of control.

After Uchiha annihilated the clan, there was another round of expansion.

Otherwise, the other party will not control Hokage to achieve the purpose of controlling Konoha.

The other party's ambitions have long had no respect for Hokage.

Such Danzo is not only a deterrent to Naruto and Ninja, but also an unprecedented deterrence for the insiders of the root, so that those root ninjas who still have feelings in their hearts can only further suppress their inner feelings. Don't show any emotion.

"This kind of thing...why don't you deal with it? I've had such a hard time since I was a child, and they did it..."

Naruto lowered his brows, a little lost in his eyes.

In his opinion, this so-called root is simply an evil organization.

Turning humans into killing machines is completely different from the Konoha he knew in the past.

Moreover, since he was a child, he was regarded as a demon fox, which seemed to be inseparable from this organization.

Although I thought I didn't care, I still felt a little unhappy when I thought of these things.

I can't identify with such an organization, and it is also my partner.

Zilai was also slightly silent.

He didn't know how to explain this to Naruto.

In the past, he also tried his best to appeal to his teacher, Sarutobi Hizan, to withdraw the root organization from Anbu, and disband the root before there was no threat.

However, his teacher, Sarutobi Hizan, not only did not obey, but placed Orochimaru in the root, and even gave him a supply of funds and talents.

The growth of the roots is inseparable from the connivance of his mentor.

"If you don't like it, then try to change it."

"Change?"

Naruto raised his head and looked at Jiraiya's serious eyes.

"That's right, isn't your dream to be Hokage? As long as you become Hokage, you can change everything."

"Can I do this?"

Naruto was a little unconfident.

Although he lacks common sense, he also knows that during the three generations of Hokage's rule, this root organization is still alive and well. Now, during the five generations of Hokage's rule, the other party can still place personnel in the seventh class, which shows that this organization still has very influential...

In other words, the opponent is a powerful being that Hokage is difficult to defeat.

Can you change all of this by becoming Hokage yourself?

"Of course, because you are the son of prophecy in Miaomushan's prophecy."

If even the world can be saved, from Jiraiya's point of view, Konoha's problem is just a trivial one for Naruto.

Besides, with Danzo's physical condition, I'm afraid the remaining activity time is limited.

By the time Naruto becomes Hokage, Danzo may already be lying in the coffin board.

As long as Danzo is dead, it will be much easier to merge the power of the root and the martial arts faction.

"Also, don't worry too much about the rules to protect you. You are indeed special to Konoha."

It seems to have hit Naruto's pain point, and Naruto's face was a little unpleasant.

"How could you not care..."

"Do you know who the previous generation of nine-tailed man Zhuri was?"

Jirai ignored Naruto's stubbornness and asked instead.

Naruto showed a hesitant expression, obviously thinking of something.

"I remember..."

Having obtained the inheritance of his parents, Naruto naturally knew some secrets.

"That's right, it's your mother, Vortex Kusina."

Jirai also informed Naruto of this answer, and then continued:

"When your mother was young, she was attacked by enemy ninjas more than once because of this identity, and countless Anbu sacrificed to protect her. What you are going through now, and the protection your mother received at the time, are not There is no fundamental difference."

"how come…"

"This is a fact."

"Then did she accept it?"

Naruto asked urgently.

"Accepted."

Jiraiya's answer broke Naruto's inner expectations.

"why?"

"Why?" Zi Lai also said this instead, "There are not so many whys, this kind of sacrifice is worth it, it is because of the sacrifices of those people that your mother passed the weak period smoothly."

"Did she not resist?"

"When I first found out, it was really sad. After all, let strangers give everything for themselves... Your mother is very kind, and she couldn't agree with such a thing at first. But she doesn't feel like you feel sorry for herself, she is in her heart once Become strong in the second crisis, and finally choose to turn the crisis into strength. Since such protection is inevitable, as long as I work hard to become stronger, I can reduce the burden of others to protect myself, so that more people can survive... This is what she was at that time In the end, she became Konoha's most powerful seal ninja, and even your father's four-generation Hokage's seal art was taught by your mother herself."

After Jiraiya's narration, Naruto's eyes went blank.

In my mind, I couldn't help but sketch the real picture of my mother growing up.

Thinking of this, Naruto couldn't help feeling ashamed.

While he was still complaining about what others had done for him, his mother had already chosen to make herself stronger and try to reduce the burden of the Konoha ninja who protected her as much as possible...

That's right, if such protection is unavoidable, then try to live and become stronger, instead of letting others protect you one-way, you can also protect those who protect yourself.

This kind of sacrifice is meaningful.

"So, let's work hard to become stronger next, and work harder than in the past. Only in this way can you be worthy of the people who protect you... and strive to reach the threshold for cultivating natural energy within the next six months. "

Jiraiya touched Naruto's hair and smiled peacefully.

Strictly speaking, there is only one condition for cultivating immortality, and that is Chakra, which is far beyond ordinary people.

In other words, it requires a strong physique.

Because the stronger the chakra, the stronger the body is needed as a container for storing the chakra, otherwise the container will explode due to the excessively strong chakra.

Naruto has already met this condition.

But Naruto needs a second condition, and that is control.

Generally speaking, the stronger the ninja, the control of chakra, basically there is no problem, it grows synchronously with the increase of chakra.

However, Naruto's growth, unlike most ninjas, came in the opposite direction.

His powerful chakra is innate, and with the occasional interference of the nine tails, his chakra control level is extremely poor.

As long as this flaw is overcome, Naruto's path to cultivating immortality is only time.

Jirai is also looking forward to the moment when Naruto learns the magic.

It will definitely be the strongest Kyuubi who surpasses the previous two generations, Konoha.

…

Naruto's emotions were soothed, and Jiraiya left to another open space.

"Thank you very much, Lord Jiraiya, I was thinking about how to comfort this kid."

Tianzang came out of the bushes and smiled gratefully to Jiraiya.

"You're welcome, this is also the duty I should perform. Next, Naruto needs to be managed by you, and I can only occasionally guide him."

Zilai also turned around and said.

As a Sannin, he has a very heavy task.

Not only to collect information about the country of ghosts, but also to secretly collect the organization of tailed beasts, which is also a huge hidden danger.

Unlike the Kingdom of Ghosts, this organization has a more mysterious style of conduct. So far, it has not revealed any clues. Only the identities of a few core members are known, but as for their whereabouts... To be honest, Jirai is not absolutely sure.

"Yes, I will train him on his alertness next, and then arrange for him to learn the knack for chakra control... It should be almost completed in half a year."

If you use normal teaching, Tianzang is not sure.

However, Naruto's shadow avatar assisted the cultivation method, which had a great promotion effect. He couldn't help but sighed at Kakashi's mind. This was a perfect cultivation method for Naruto.

Because many hidden dangers of Naruto are shared by the nine tails... Although the principle of shadow avatar cultivation seems very simple, only enough chakra is needed, but if there is no nine tails in the body to bear part of the mental pressure, I am afraid it will not take long. , Ninjas who practice in this way are likely to have a mental breakdown and become an idiot for a long time.

However, even for Naruto, there are risks involved in cultivating in this way.

That is, it will unnaturally reveal the nine-tailed chakra, causing Naruto to turn into a beast.

Therefore, when Naruto cultivates with shadow clones, the number can only be maintained within a few. If it exceeds this number, Naruto will become a tail beast, and it is difficult to control himself.

And his role is reflected.

His wooden Dun has the effect of suppressing the tailed beast Chakra, even if Naruto doubles the shadow clone on the original basis, his wooden Dun can avoid the risk of Naruto tailed beast becoming a monster.

With the combination of several effects, and Jiraiya coming over from time to time to give guidance, Tianzang is confident that in the next six months, he will raise Naruto's strength to the standard Jōnin level, and it is not impossible to even go further.

At that time, you can go to Miaomu Mountain to practice the so-called immortal art.

Tianzang can't help but sigh that Naruto's future growth has unlimited potential.

At that time, it will also be a powerful deterrent weapon for Konoha. For today's Konoha, Naruto's importance is self-evident.

Sakai is right, in order to achieve this goal, he, the high-level executive of Anbu, can also sacrifice to protect Naruto.

"Then I'll trouble you. This is a supplementary training medicine specially made by Tsunade for Naruto. In the future, please take it regularly for Naruto."

Jiraiya took out a medicine bottle from his arms and put it in Tianzang's hand.

"Did Naruto-sama make the medicine himself?"

Tianzang took the bottle of medicine in surprise.

Naturally, he wouldn't think that this was some kind of suspicious drug.

With Tsunade's xinxing, he would not make any cultivation medicine with huge side effects. It is very likely that it will be effective in the long run, rather than damaging Naruto's foundation for short-term benefits.

Waiting for Naruto to grow up, Konoha can still squeeze out this little time.

"Of course, the other two can also be used by them. After all, as a guide, you can't favor one over the other. Otherwise, it will not be conducive to the team's running-in."

In the end, Zilai also added this sentence.

"I understand."

Tianzang nodded earnestly, stuffed the medicine bottle into the ninja bag, and kept it carefully.

◎

Konoha 61 years, at the end of October.

Spring and autumn come, and suddenly, half of the year has passed.

In the name of military exercises, Konoha used this half year or so to conduct military exercises at the border almost every month. The number of ninjas participating in an exercise ranged from a thousand to as many as two thousand ninjas.

Although at the beginning, the small country adjacent to the Fire Nation still feared that the Fire Nation was going to launch a war of external expansion. However, it was found that the Konoha Ninja Village was really conducting military exercises in earnest, and there was no external expansion, so I couldn't help but feel at ease.

Small countries are peaceful, but big countries are not.

Because of Konoha's sudden move, the other major powers had to use the same military exercises to reinforce their own ninjas to the front line to guard against Konoha's move.

Among them, only the country of wind and the country of ghosts did not have any action.

The former is allied with the Land of Fire, and Sandyin Village is also assured of the Konoha Ninja Village. Symbolically, 100 ninjas have been reinforced on the eastern border, which should be to echo the military performance of Konoha Village.

The latter country of Oni is simply not necessary to guard against the military exercises in Konoha Ninja Village, because the two countries are too far apart.

Whether it is walking by land or by sea, it is not easy for Konoha to reach the land of ghosts smoothly.

In particular, the ninja villages in the land of wind and land will not allow the ninjas of Konoha to invade their territory.

With such natural protection, the Kingdom of Ghosts did not respond to it, which is also reasonable.

In general, the big countries have become stable, most of the small countries are at peace with the status quo, and chaos has begun to appear in the territory of a small number of small countries. The nobility began to clash.

According to reliable information, there are also ninjas among these rebels.

Although they are not very strong, they are stronger than ordinary people, and they still caused a lot of trouble to the ruling nobles of the country.

This is very strange, because in the past, there were no ninjas in these small countries, and the only armed force was the samurai group that took refuge in the nobles and served the nobles.

At this time, a ninja force appeared in the country, which caught the ruling nobles a little off guard.

According to the investigation, these ninjas are indeed natives.

A year or two ago, they were just ordinary people.

Regarding the reasons for the appearance of these ninjas, some countries are uneasy, some countries are furious, and some countries choose to remain silent and focus on self-protection... Because they all have a vague guess in their hearts, these reactionary nobles ruled by the civilian ninja group, in the end. Which force was cultivated in secret.

—The country of ghosts.

Must be them.

They secretly funded some civil rebel organizations in small countries, not only providing assistance with weapons, but also selecting suitable members from these rebel organizations, training them into ninjas, and further enhancing their armed forces.

For a time, the power of these rebel organizations was directly on par with, or even faintly surpassed, the armed forces of the country's aristocratic groups.

Although some small countries have lodged complaints with the other big countries, and asked them to put pressure on the country of ghosts to prevent such chaos... However, the letters of the complaints were placed on the desks of the big names of the big countries, but they were only greeted by some superficial words. .

This made Daimyo, a small country disturbed by the kingdom of ghosts, angry, thinking that these big countries are all in one gang, and they all want to use war to profit from the small country.

At the same time, he also secretly scolded the big names for being short-sighted. The land of ghosts is so hostile to the aristocratic groups. When the aristocratic groups of these small countries fall, the interests and prestige of the nobles of the big country will inevitably be affected.

Despite such anger in their hearts, the rest of the big countries almost ignored the matter, and they had no choice but to form a group to keep warm, relying on their own strength to deal with the ghost country's strategy of encroaching on small countries.

——The military jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Ghosts, located in the large conference room on the fourth floor of the office building.

The top military officials of the country of ghosts gathered here.

On the front wall, there is a detailed and complete map of the ninja world.

The names and territories of all countries and neutral forces are marked on it.

Even those small countries with very little reputation in the ninja world, or even isolated from the world, are clearly marked on the map.

Some of the small countries are painted red, and some of them are marked with red crosses.

With his back to everyone present, Shiraishi stood in front of this Ninja World map, staring at a small corner on the map, as if thinking about something.
