Escape From Konoha

In the early morning, standing on the balcony on the second floor, I looked up and saw a gray-white sky full of monotonous colors.

Pieces of snowflakes flew down from the gray sky. In this weather, there is basically not much sunlight to be seen.

The whole Konoha Village looks like a silver world.

Xiao Ying glanced at the road in front of her house from the balcony on the second floor. She could see that many shop staff had already woken up early to start shoveling snow to keep the road clear.

They were wearing heavy padded coats and scarves under their necks. Did they put down the snow shovel tools in their hands, looked up at the sky, rested there for a while, and then continued to shovel the snow.

"I won't practice cultivation today, go to the library to read."

Sakura felt the biting coolness in the air. For some reason, she always felt that today's winter was colder than usual.

When he exhaled from his mouth, the white gas that came out of his mouth began to drag to one side like a shooting star under the blowing of the cold wind.

The roads on the street are still smooth, and it is possible to keep walking together, but under the heavy snow cover for days, the Konoha cultivation site may have already become a no-man's land, with a thick layer of snow on it, even ninjas, in It's not particularly convenient to move there.

Besides, in such cold weather, she didn't really want to run outside.

Sakura stood on the balcony for a while, then left the balcony, walked back into the room, picked up the things she brought out, and was ready in less than five minutes.

"Mom, I'm going out."

Father was busy at the barbecue shop early, and only mother was left at home to guard the door. Sakura carried her backpack and walked towards the library.

Sakura looked at the scenery on both sides of the street. Most of the shops got up early to open for business, and a few shops just opened.

However, looking at this familiar street, Sakura always felt that the pedestrians walking on the road were a little more deserted than usual.

Is it an illusion?

In this regard, Sakura did not think deeply, and continued to set out in the direction of the library.

After walking for about 15 minutes, I came to Konoha's library, where all the books that can be seen on the Konoha market are concentrated, and there are even books imported from abroad. Ninjas often come here to learn knowledge. important place.

Compared with the library established by the ninja school, it is much larger, and the types of books are also more colorful.

Walking to the front of the frequently visited bookshelf, Sakura habitually extracted a book about medical knowledge from it, and walked towards the reading area.

In the morning, the reading area of ​​the library was very deserted. Not many people came to patronize it at all, and it was visibly empty to the naked eye.

At this moment, Sakura found a familiar figure in a remote corner, and couldn't help calling out the other person's name.

"Sai?"

Hearing Sakura's soft whimper, Sakai, who was sitting in a remote corner of the reading area, also raised her head at the right time and looked at Sakura who was walking towards her.

"It's Sakura, good morning."

Sakai squinted his eyes and smiled, giving the impression that no matter how he looked at it, it was fake, just smiling for the sake of smiling.

For this, Sakura has long been surprised. These days, she has been following Tsunade, not only growing up medical ninjutsu and magic power, but also gaining a lot of knowledge.

For example, during her break, she also consulted Tsunade about the root organization, and gained a deeper understanding of this organization.

At the same time, I also understood that Sai's thinking, which is very different from ordinary people, was cultivated under what circumstances. It is not Sai's own problem, but the darkness inside Konoha.

It was that kind of darkness that created Sai's current situation.

"Good morning, I didn't expect you to read books here early in the morning."

Sakura glanced at the book in Sai's hand, she had already opened about a third of it, and there was a notebook beside her.

The title of the book is "How to properly communicate with people".

Seeing this, the smile on Sakura's face deepened.

"However, looking at this kind of book, Sakai, it seems that you are just a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted person. If you don't say it, you actually want to integrate into the environment of the seventh class."

Hearing Sakura's words, Sakai smiled and said, "No, I did this just to complete the task better."

"I knew you would say that, but Naruto is not here now, but is cultivating in Miaomu Mountain. You don't need to play dumb riddles with me."

Sakura sat down opposite Sai, and put down the medical book in her hand.

"No, these are my sincere words."

Sakai shook his head.

"I really can't stand you. Forget it, let's not talk about this, have you decided the ending of your picture book? Can you tell me, you and your brother, who won in the end?"

Sakura asked curiously.

Sakai pondered for a moment, then replied, "I didn't think about how to draw a good ending for this. Because for me, no matter who wins, it can't be called a good ending."

Speaking of this, Sakai's eyes flashed a little bit of loneliness. But soon, such a lonely color disappeared from Sai's eyes.

"Really?" Sakura thought for a while and continued to ask, "That is to say, is it a tie?"

"I've thought about it too, but I still think it's a little bad."

"Since that's the case, when you think about the ending, please let me watch it."

"Well, we'll talk about it later."

After finishing this topic, Sakai turned to talk about something else:

"Speaking of which, do you think, Sakura, that the situation in the village is a little strange recently?"

"strangeness?"

Sakura looked away from the medical book, frowning slightly.

"Well, my words, because I often act in the dark, I can see the atmosphere in the dark of Konoha... And recently, after returning from the country of the pool, I feel that the atmosphere in the dark place of the village has changed. I asked Danzo-sama, but I didn't get an answer. I think you might know something, Sakura."

Sakai looked at Sakura, hoping to get some advice from her.

Sakura frowned even tighter.

When she came to the library, she did notice that there was something wrong with Konoha today, but now Sai brought it up again, isn't this her own illusion?

However, if the atmosphere of Konoha really changed significantly, what would be the reason?

"I heard that recently, the relationship between our country of fire and the country of ghosts in the western part of the mainland has become extremely bad. It has begun to affect the normal business exchanges between the two countries, and there are frequent diplomatic problems."

Sakai expressed his opinion.

"Even at other times, the relationship between the two countries is not necessarily harmonious."

Sakura said so.

The ruling class of the country of ghosts is the ninja who left Konoha.

For this reason, the two countries naturally have some problems that cannot be run in, and they don't like each other.

The Fire Nation regards the other party as a traitor.

The other party thinks that the country of fire is messing around.

To solve such a complex problem, it is obviously not something she can do.

"No, I feel that this time is a little different..."

Before Sakai could finish speaking, a voice suddenly interjected:

"So it's here. What, isn't that guy Naruto not here?"

There were some condescending voices, and Shikamaru walked over slowly with his hands in his pockets.

"Shukamaru?" Sakura looked at Shikamaru who had come here in surprise, and then said, "Naruto is still cultivating in Miaomu Mountain, not in the village. What, Shikamaru, do you have anything to do with him?"

Shikamaru scratched his head, swept towards Sakai with the corner of his eyes, and said in a lackluster tone: "It's not that guy Ino, but Dingji and I were called up early in the morning, saying that it was to discuss, tomorrow What is the right gift to give?"

"Gift?"

"Yeah, tomorrow is Hinata's birthday."

Shikamaru sighed.

"That's right, I almost forgot. Fortunately, Shikamaru, you reminded me. It seems that I also need to prepare a gift here."

Xiao Sakura just came to her senses. She has been busy with so many things recently, and she even forgot about it.

"It's nothing. Speaking of which, we haven't been together for a long time. This time, just in time for Hinata's birthday, I called Naruto back by the way, and everyone came out to gather together... Well, there is this one, who is called Say it."

Shikamaru's eyes fell on Sai's body, and she said in a positive tone.

"Yes, what's the matter?"

Sakai asked with a smile.

"Do you want to come together?"

"Eh? Can I do it too?"

Sakai was surprised.

Hinata Hinata, he does not know him, but he has met very few times, and he has never had any conversations, which belongs to the superficial relationship of 'meeting'.

And his knowledge of the other party is limited to the fact that the other party comes from a wealthy family and is a noble lady.

In addition, I learned from Sakura that it seems that this young lady has an unusual relationship with Naruto.

Other than that, he didn't know anything about it.

"Of course, you are a member of the seventh class, so we will be companions in the future. I heard from my father that you have taken care of Naruto many times during the mission. As a friend of Naruto, naturally you cannot be excluded. ."

Shikamaru said with a smile.

"Is that so? Well, I see."

Sakai thought about it for a while, and felt that this was a good way to integrate into the group and was beneficial to his own mission.

However, to celebrate Hinata's birthday, it's time to prepare a birthday present.

What kind of gift should I give a girl?

Moreover, it is still based on the relationship of strangers. It is not good to send it too precious, and it is too simple to send it, and it seems that it is not enough.

So, Sai's brows furrowed in distress.

It seems that he really lacks the common sense to communicate with people.

The more this is the case, the more he feels that he should join this birthday party. Only in this way can he better disguise himself as a normal person.

After chatting for a while, Shikamaru left the library.

Xiao Ying closed the medical book and said helplessly: "It seems that I don't have time to read today, Sakai, will we go pick gifts together later?"

Sakai nodded, maybe Sakura could give him some good advice.

"That Naruto..."

"After that, I will ask the teacher to be responsible for sending the message. There seems to be a communication office here in the village to contact Miaomushan. And the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so it is not a problem for Naruto to come back a few days earlier."

Sakura said so, obviously thinking about the next arrangements.

Sai closed the book, put the book on the shelf with Sakura, and walked out of the library.

"That's it, Naruto, as long as you work harder, you can normally introduce natural energies into your body and control them!"

Next to the oil pond where the toad oil was stored in Miaomu Mountain, Immortal Fukasaku, one of the two great immortals, held a black stick in his hand and danced and instructed Naruto to practice immortality.

It is inevitable to learn magic, absorb natural energy, and use natural energy skillfully.

Even though Naruto used the shadow avatar technique to increase the experience accumulation process of absorbing natural energy, there were still various errors in the middle, resulting in an unsatisfactory progress.

But this unsatisfactory progress is only compared to learning other ninjutsu. The pure study of natural energy, in the opinion of Immortal Fukasaku, Naruto's cultivation progress is already a kind of ninja with a very rapid progress.

If you continue to practice at this speed, in the next year, it will not be difficult to learn how to use natural energy and involve the principles of immortality.

If the situation allows, you can even achieve the goal of learning fairy magic faster.

"what!"

Naruto shouted happily from his mouth.

He was wearing only one boxer shorts all over his body, revealing his strong abdominal muscles and leg muscles. There were a lot of whiplash marks on his back, and red marks were all over it, like a medal to be proud of.

"It's really troublesome, it's like this again, this kind of energy is too hard to control, isn't it, Grandpa Immortal?"

Feeling the thinning natural energy in his body, Naruto couldn't help but feel depressed.

This is the first time he has made no progress in cultivation.

Instead, it was the rest of the ninjutsu, which had already been completed in advance with the help of the shadow clones, and they were fully used.

However, for the special power of natural energy, which is different from Chakra, it is completely unworkable.

Even with the help of the shadow clone, in his opinion, the effect is not particularly obvious, it is still like a turtle crawling.

This is still in a place like Miaomu Mountain where natural energy is abundant and easy to absorb. If it is changed to the outside world, there may be no way to absorb natural energy by yourself, and you need someone else to help.

"Little Naruto, you're just too impatient. Learning immortality is the most taboo thing to do. Otherwise, it's easy to disrupt the natural energy in your body. In fact, you have done a very good job in the introduction of natural energy."

Immortal Fukasaku jumped over with a black stick to comfort Naruto.

"Really?"

Naruto looked suspicious.

"Of course, as an immortal, how could I deceive you? Although Xiao Naruto's shadow avatar cultivation method can shorten the accumulation process to a certain extent, learning immortality is a long process of water grinding. It is the patience of learning, remembering the feeling of absorbing natural energy every time. I think in a short time, you should be able to absorb natural energy by yourself, even in the outside world, you can be self-sufficient.”

Immortal Shenzuo smiled.

Unlike when he came to Miaomu Mountain to practice immortality at the beginning, Naruto now has completed the improvement of his own skills, especially in the control of chakra and other aspects, and has obviously had targeted training.

After so much training, Naruto at this time has obviously reached the qualifying line for cultivating natural energy.

Naruto was about to say something when the sound of footsteps came, and Zilai came from far and near.

"Boss Shenzuo, Naruto, you are all here."

He said hello.

"What's the matter, lecherous fairy? I'm doing natural energy training."

Naruto stood up from the ground and patted the dust on his pants.

"Let's put aside the matter of cultivation for the time being. Next, we should return to Konoha."

"Eh? Now?"

Naruto was stunned for a moment.

"Well, yes, let's go now, there has been a letter from the village, let us hurry back as soon as possible. The next time we come back, it may be after the year. Besides, at that time, I may not have time to come with you. "

Jiraiya's tone was full of inexplicable meaning, as if it foreshadowed what was about to happen.

"Really? It doesn't matter, it won't matter if I come alone."

Jiraiya touched Naruto's head, smiled, then turned to look at Immortal Fukasaku, and said, "Boss Fukasaku, then I'll take Naruto back."

"Okay, but remember to be careful when you go back, Xiao Zilai, don't be too impatient then."

Immortal Fukasaku's eyes showed a heavy look, and his tone also seemed to be a little lower, which meant something.

Jiraiya put his palm on his chest and scratched it, and continued with a smile: "Don't worry, no matter what, I'm also one of the three ninjas, but it's not that easy to be knocked down."

Naruto stood beside him. He was a little unclear about the communication between the two, so he blinked his eyes in confusion.

"Okay, let's go back, Naruto."

Jiraiya ignored Naruto's gaze, patted his back, and walked away quickly under the watch of Immortal Fukasaku.

The country of ghosts.

Fierce ice and snow are flying in the sky.

There is a chilling atmosphere in the military jurisdiction.

The flag engraved with aster flowers is fluttering in the cold wind.

In the built-in corridor outside the conference room, Kazuhime put her hands behind her head in a bored manner, and looked sideways at the closed door of the conference room from time to time.

This kind of time lasted for about half an hour before the closed door of the conference room slowly opened.

The high-level military personnel walked out one after another from the inside. They walked calmly in the corridor, and their attitude was unhurried. As if they did not expect the difficulties they would face next, they dispersed in an orderly manner and returned to their work as usual. post.

The wind and snow outside were blowing wildly, and the windows were covered with a layer of ice, which was pale and cold.

"I heard that the country of the bear has been snowing for three days, making the journey difficult. Is there really no problem with the deployment there?"

Seeing her mother Liuli walking out of the conference room, Kazuhime left the wall with her back and asked casually.

In this icy and snowy day, even if there is an efficient means of transportation, it is more laborious than usual to use it.

"The action deployment plan has already been drawn up, but now it's just to redefine the process. It's you, the burden on your shoulders is not light at all, you can't do it if you don't prepare well."

Liuli responded lightly.

Ichiki chuckled lightly.

"I'm no longer the child who will be easily knocked down by you, Mom, you have to be clearly aware of this. By the way, you shouldn't go home tonight, so I'll go back and prepare first."

After speaking, Kazuhime turned her head slightly, glanced at the snowflakes flying outside, turned and walked in the opposite direction.

Liuli looked at Kazuhime's leaving back, and lowered her head to think about something.

"Hey, didn't Yiji act with you? Why did you leave alone?"

A startled voice came from beside him.

I saw Ayane yawning as she walked out of the conference room. After seeing the figure of Kazuhime leaving alone, she tilted her head in confusion.

"No, the area she is in charge of is not in the same place as mine." Liuli shook her head, then looked at Ayane, frowning dissatisfiedly: "Besides, wasn't this matter mentioned at the meeting just now? You ... Shouldn't you be sleeping in meetings all the time?"

"Uh..." Ayane snorted, but there was no embarrassment on her face: "Aiya, don't bother about such trivial matters. After all, I will be responsible for the land of the land, so I have to make sure I get enough sleep first. , then you will have the strength to work, won't you?"

"Hmph, I'll really make excuses for myself."

"Liu Li, you are always serious about such trivial matters. For me, it's just the same as in the past. It's just an ordinary task. There's no need to make a fuss, just treat it with a normal heart."

The corners of Ayane's mouth raised a little bit, and the smile she showed was naturally more obvious.

In her tone, there was no worry or hesitation about what was going to happen next. In her eyes, this is just another one of her own man's tasks, that's all.

"No, I'm very worried that you have been unfamiliar with the battle because you haven't been on the battlefield for a long time."

"How come, you underestimate me too much. In order to ensure the smooth circulation of blood in my body before the war, I fought with Shiraishi-kun until three o'clock in the morning yesterday, and now the blood in my body is completely boiling."

Ayane raised her slender but sturdy arm. From the outside, it didn't have too many muscles, giving people a feeling of weakness and helplessness that would shatter at the touch.

Only those who know her well know what kind of terrifying power is hidden in this slender and relatively petite body.

In terms of body resistance, Ayane is undoubtedly the best in the country of ghosts!

"..."

The 'fight' in the opponent's mouth, no matter how you look at it, is completely different from normal fighting.

However, Liuli knew that this woman, who always had a smile on her face, felt no fear or reverence for anything.

Although I feel a little unhappy in my heart, that's all.

The more she thought about it, the less happy she became. Maybe tonight she could also do some warm-up exercises before the war?

Ruri, who was considering whether to carry out this matter, heard Ayane's surprised voice:

"What a big snow. It wasn't as serious yesterday. It seems that we have to find a way to quickly resolve the battle in the future."

The outside world is already a world of ice and snow.

The staff located outside, wearing thick warm clothes and boots on their feet, were diligently shoveling snow there.

But the effect is not great, and soon new snowflakes will cover up again, making the road difficult to walk.

"Yeah, it seems that I can't have a good year. I can only rest until next year."

Liuli walked to Ayane's side, looked at the grand snow scene outside the window, and let out a light breath.

Because of the heating supply inside, I still can't feel the cold, but in the severe cold weather outside, it will greatly affect the battle.

However, the negative impact of this weather is effective for both parties, and there is no such thing as targeting one party and letting the other party go.

And because the country of ghosts has more sufficient logistical capabilities, the negative impact will be lower than that of ninjas in other countries, which is barely a good sign.

◎

Country of Bears.

It was already 11:50 in the middle of the night, and the road was blocked by heavy snow.

The railroad track that connects the country of ghosts is also covered by heavy snow, and there is no trace of it.

Located on the eastern border of the Bear Country, it is a military fortress built up from the ground.

The huge circular cylindrical wall isolates the world from inside and outside, and also resists the cold wind whistling from afar.

There is a door at the front and back, which is the entrance and exit of the fort.

The tall wall is more than 30 meters high. It is not necessary for ordinary people to say that it is difficult to climb such a high wall. Even a ninja can't climb a high wall at once, and needs to use chakra to attach to the wall and run.

Not only that, the high wall is also full of grooves, and various mechanisms are set up.

After crossing the high wall and avoiding the various traps set up on the wall, I have to face the Oni Ninja guarding the high wall.

In a standard group of four.

In addition to the captain, he wears heavy chakra armor, wears a metal helmet like a gas mask, only his eyes are exposed, he holds a gun-type weapon with a wider muzzle than ordinary firearms, a saber on his waist, and a standard backpack on the back , which is bulging full of things, armed to the teeth.

The other three team members are all uniform black hooded windbreakers, with anti-gas helmets on their heads, backpacks on their backs, and ninja bags hanging on both sides of their thighs. In a world full of silver, they stand out on the wall. On, patrol back and forth.

Every forty meters, there is such a standard team.

Since it was almost late at night, the sky and the earth were black and white.

The huge lighthouse of the military fortress stands tall, and the strong lighting lamp dyes the interior of the fortress into daylight, and even the outer periphery of the fortress is also baptized with light.

As for the blind spot of vision, the outer wall of the high wall emits light to illuminate the blind spot of the lighthouse to avoid omissions.

In the lift plaza of the fortress, the ninja of the land of ghosts, equipped with flying ninja gear, lay down on the runway of the latest orbital launcher, accompanied by a roar of machinery, which instantly overwhelmed the sound of wind and snow. The ghost country ninja with flying ninja gear immediately blasted out like an arrow from the string.

Unfolding the steel wings behind it, rubbing against the air to generate electricity, under the dark night sky, drag a beautiful phantom of light, and fly freely in the sky.

As usual, the night patrol began.

The ninjas of the land of ghosts flying high in the sky, they crossed the plains, valleys, and forests, and carefully investigated the situation on the ground.

A ninja from the land of ghosts flew over a forest area, and with a military telescope similar to a goggle over his eyes, he began to scan the earth to identify whether there were any abnormal points in the area.

Just as he flew through this dense forest area, there was only the sound of howling cold winds on the ground.

On the forest land, snowflakes the size of goose feathers covered layer after layer, burying everything.

Suddenly, a piece of land loosened slightly.

From there, a man stood up and slapped the snowflakes on his body.

Taking this person as a signal, the snow next to him also began to loosen. The second person, the third person, the fourth person... Countless people pushed the snow and ice away from their bodies and stood densely on the snow in the forest.

They looked at each other, then looked at the sky, and found that there was nothing above, as if they were confirming something.

"There are only ten kilometers left to the target, and the circling air scouts will return in five minutes. Everyone, let's get started."

He didn't ask if he could reach the target location ten kilometers away in five minutes.

For ninjas, this is an inevitable answer.

Surely it can be done!

……

Under the dark night, the area of ​​the fort was brightly lit.

"It's dinner, it's dinner!"

With this sound, the four-man squads patrolling the high wall stopped their work one after another.

I saw the staff in blue work uniforms bringing up hot food.

On the high wall, in a tent surrounded by three and one, there was a simple bed and a dining table, and next to it was a stove for heating. Under the cold wind, the sparks in the stove kept dragging towards the outside.

Although there is no cover for the gap facing the outside, the baking of the furnace will not make the body in a state of stiffness.

Every team gathered in such a tent and began to enjoy the must-have supper every night.

In this season of snow and ice, every meal is a moment of incomparable happiness.

After all, there is nothing happier than eating a delicious hot meal in cold weather.

"Unfortunately, only a little wine is not enough for us to stuff our teeth."

The captain of the Jōnin, wearing a heavy chakra armor, took off the helmet on his head and shook the palm-sized wine bottle that was brought along with the hot food. If four people shared it, they could only get a small cup. , the degree of over-the-mouth addiction.

"Be content, Captain, that is, if you can get this amount of wine in winter, you can't even get this amount of wine in other seasons."

A female ninja in the team said with a smile.

She smiled and took off the gas mask on her face, tossed her long wavy hair, and took a long breath.

"It's also true that, unlike the group of people stationed in the country, we who are stationed at the border are too strict in management."

Although the captain complained, there was no dissatisfaction in his tone.

The four of them ate hot food, constantly filling their already hungry stomachs.

Just when he was about to finish eating, a ninja from the Hinata clan with white eyes suddenly shook his body and stopped eating.

"What's wrong?"

The captain asked with a serious expression.

As the reconnaissance ninja in the team~www.readwn.com~ the other party showed this appearance, obviously something happened.

"There have been a lot of chakra reactions ahead, the number has reached hundreds, and the number is still increasing..."

The ninja of the Hyuga clan suddenly stood up, swept the forest in the front direction with solemn eyes, and his face became gloomy.

In the range that he could observe with his white eyes, a large number of chakra reactions that did not belong to ordinary people began to surge at a skyrocketing speed, one after another, in a continuous manner.

This is obviously a precursor to the ninja force's surprise attack!

"what?"

The captain and two other team members also stood up suddenly, rushed out of the tent, and flashed to the edge of the high wall in the blink of an eye.

The other team seemed to have noticed something. Like them, they came to the edge of the high wall and glanced at the forest.

The sound of the wind and snow whistled in my ears. It seemed that there was only this kind of sound left in the world. The silence in the forest was terrifying, and it was also terrifyingly dark.

Suddenly, a figure rushed out of the forest and ran at a terrifying speed on the snow.

With the first, there is the second... Then more figures rushed out of the forest and charged towards the fortress at lightning speed.

For a time, a sharp alarm sounded in the fortress under the dark night, breaking the silence of the night.
