Escape From Konoha

The country of ghosts, the sea on the west side.

The thick fog gathers on the vast expanse of the sea, bringing an extremely cold chill.

The steel ship is like a black beast, breaking through the layers of thick fog, sailing through the wind and waves in the fog-covered sea area.

In the outpost sea area with a distance of dozens of kilometers in front of the steel ship, a ninja named Kirigaze was divided into ten groups, put on a standard diving suit, tightly bound his body, and then used water escape ninjutsu, one after another. Dive into the sea water, merge with the sea water, disappear and move forward quickly.

Just like the ninjas in Yanyin Village, most of the ninjas in Kirigakushi have practiced the water escape technique, and quite a few of them will obtain the ability to hold their breath for a long time in the water after performing the water escape technique. ability.

If the land is the area where the Iwagakushi ninjas play, then the waters and the ocean are the most favorite battlefields of the Kirigakushi ninjas.

Ten groups of three, with a total of 30 elite Kirigakushi ninjas, scattered around. As scouts, they needed to master the details of the ghost country's ninja troops before the war between Kiriyin and the Kingdom of Ghosts began. trend.

In this way, the large troops in the rear can push forward.

Due to the lessons learned by Konoha and Iwagakura, the attitude towards this war must be cautious and not slack in the slightest.

Therefore, each of the Kirigakushi ninjas who came to reconnaissance came with a cautious and careful attitude to complete this S-level task personally assigned by their Mizukage-sama.

As the misty ninjas dived into the sea and continued to sink, the sound in their ears became quieter and quieter. Occasionally, there was the sound of water flowing, and the surrounding light became darker and darker, as if they were about to It was as if he had fallen into a world of silent darkness, and he could only see a small area covered by the searchlight.

Some Kirigaze ninjas looked down at their feet. It was darker than the surrounding, and the boundless dark curtain made people feel infinite depression and coldness.

The Kirigakushi ninja, who looked down, twitched involuntarily, and his leg bones seemed to soften a little. This was an instinctive fear of darkness.

Even though I have done this kind of diving countless times and I have quite a lot of diving experience, I still feel my scalp tingling every time I look into the depths of the sea.

Compared with land and sky, the deep sea is mysterious and scary.

The Kirigaze ninja, who knows all of this the most, is naturally full of awe for such an environment.

So, they didn't dare to look down, kept the distance where they could still hear the sound and see the light spot on the sea surface, stopped and started to swim forward.

In the sea at a depth of more than 100 meters, it was difficult to transmit the sound. The accompanying captain could only signal with gestures to signal the team members to move forward quickly.

The water temperature of the seawater in winter is extremely cold, and the silent darkness constantly challenges the psychological resistance of the Kirigakushi. time to complete the task.

I don't know how long has passed, maybe ten minutes, maybe half an hour, maybe a day has passed.

In such a depressing and dim environment with no sound source, the Kirigakushi ninjas gradually lost their concept of time.

At this moment, in front of their heads, a huge shuttle-shaped shadow vaguely appeared.

There were three reconnaissance teams of Hidden Mist nearby, and they discovered this huge shadow floating on the sea almost simultaneously.

Not to provoke, but to avoid it very wisely.

Just as they were about to do so, the water rolled quickly and something rushed over.

Then, with a bang, it exploded in the sea water, the water rolled faster, and a huge fishing net spread out, instantly surrounding the three-person Kirigakushi ninja, tightly bound.

The three of them struggled in the fishing net and picked up the kunai cutting net.

I don't know what kind of material this fishing net is made of, with the kunai of chakra attached, and when I cut it, it can't be cut off at once.

The fishing net was pulled upwards, and the three Kirigakushi ninjas panicked. They knew what would happen if they were pulled up, and struggled even harder in the fishing net.

The other two groups of Kirigakushi also stepped forward to assist, picked up Kunai, and began to cut the rope.

The sound of rolling water came into the ears, like a chanting sound, which made the two groups of misty ninjas who came forward to help turn pale in shock.

boom!

Another fishing net was rolled out in the sea.

The second group of Kirigakushi was also successfully captured.

The third group of Kirigakushi quickly panicked, stopped rescuing their companions, and swam back quickly, trying to escape this sea.

At this moment, in the dark and deep depths of the seabed, a pair of huge red eyes lit up, and a giant snake-shaped beast as huge as a hill swam up from the depths of the seabed, causing a turbulent movement, towards the fleeing man. Kirigu Ninja, tore open the **** mouth.

...

"Lord Liuli, all the 30 misty ninjas in charge of reconnaissance in this sea area have been captured."

In the command room, the ghost country Junin, who was in charge of commanding the action, reported the work to Liuli who walked in.

Liuli was not surprised. They already knew all about the trajectory of the Wuyin reconnaissance team, but now they just came out for a lap, treating these Wuyin ninjas as fish in a fishing net, and it was as easy to catch them.

"Go ahead. In addition, notify the fleets in Area B and Area C that the net can be closed there."

"Yes!"

The West Sea of ​​the Ghost Country is an uninhabited desert island at the junction of the Ghost Country and the seas of other countries.

At this moment, this deserted island has been occupied by Kirigaze ninjas, and they began to set up camps on this deserted island without picking resources. Seeing their work, it seems that they plan to stay here for a long time.

There were nearly 500 ninjas in total, and they were the vanguard troops that Kirigakura dispatched this time. They set up a camp with 100 people, and 400 people started patrol work in the border waters of the deserted island.

The person in charge of the scheduling here is a middle-aged Shangnin from the ghost lamp clan. He arranges personal work here in an orderly manner, without the slightest panic, and seems to be at ease.

The surrounding Ninjas also respect and trust him.

As one of the few ninjas who possessed secret techniques in the village of Kiriyin, and also had a water shadow, it naturally had a pivotal position in the village of Kiriyin.

Although due to the past blood fog incident, the ghost lamp clan has also been vigorously excluded by the blood mist faction, and the situation has become difficult, but after the fourth generation of water shadows came to power, the reputation of the ghost lamp clan and other ninja tribes, in the fourth generation of water shadows. Under the arrangement, the name was gradually rectified, and it became an indispensable and important pillar of Wuyin.

"Captain, there is a situation ahead!"

A Kirigakushi ninja pointed to the sea in front of him and shouted loudly at the Joinin of the ghost lamp clan.

"Huh? What's going on!"

The ghost lamp clan Junin leaped over and came to the position of the patrol unit, raised his brows, and looked forward.

"I don't know, I just feel that a huge chakra is approaching here quickly!"

The misty ninja who was in charge of perception couldn't help shedding cold sweat on his forehead. This huge chakra, he had only felt it on their Mizukage-sama, the chakra that surpassed the common sense of ninjas!

The sea area ahead was shrouded in thick white fog, and the visible range was very narrow.

I saw that in the depths of the white fog, accompanied by the pressing sound of dull footsteps, the thick white fog was dyed with a huge shadow outline.

winter!

winter!

The footsteps continued. After all, the shadow outlines that appeared on the white fog became clearer and clearer, and the dark red body began to roll over in the thick fog looming.

I saw that 'giant' stretched out his dark red arm and swept it gently beside him. The white mist rolled around, and the head of the warrior made of chakra broke through the thick mist and stuck his head out without warning. Come.

"This, this is—"

See the dark red warrior giant condensed from pure chakra, like a towering giant tree, standing between heaven and earth.

Just witnessing such a scene, the vision and spirit of the Kirigaze ninjas suffered an unprecedented double impact, their faces were horrified, and their minds went blank.

"Hurry up and get in touch with the headquarters and inform Master Shuiying-"

The ghost lamp clan Junin was the first to react from the shock and realized something. In any case, the information here must be sent out.

This sea area is no longer safe.

However, the moment he finished shouting this sentence, a cold female voice resounded in this sea area.

"Turley!"

In an instant, screams of pain came and went.

The surface of the sea and the land of the desert island were quickly covered by the net of thunder and lightning, and the endless thunder snakes entangled the bodies of the misty ninjas, paralyzing their nervous systems, and stinging their flesh and blood!

The Joinin of the Ghost Lantern family, who wanted to avoid the impact with the water hydration technique, also felt severe pain in his body, and the terrifying Razer wrapped around his body, causing his body to feel more numb than others.

"Oops, I'm not good at dealing with Lei Dun..."

The ghost lamp clan's face was twisted, and the faster he found himself hydrated, the more numb his body felt.

However, he did not succumb to such a thunderbolt. With astonishing willpower, he leaped into the air and rushed towards the contact point on the deserted island.

This place is no longer safe, but before that, the most important thing is to transmit the information here and let the headquarters find a way to deal with it.

"Black Thunder!"

Faster than him was the cold voice from above.

The sound of the rolling waves and the screams in the ears all lost their traces in an instant.

The endless darkness has dyed the sea, deserted islands, and void into darkness.

When the clarity of the eyes was restored, what appeared in the eyes of the ghost lamp clan was that all the Kirigaze ninjas other than him were paralyzed by lightning and fell to the ground in a state of annihilation.

winter!

winter!

The giant Xuzuo Nenghu stepped on the sea, crushed the coastal reefs that protruded from the sea, and a huge shadow shrouded it, swallowing up the ghosts of the ghost lamp clan.

◎

The country of ghosts, outside the West Sea, the Guiku Gorge.

This is a strait formed by many deserted islands. Under the careful arrangement of Kirigakushi ninjas, this strait has been built into an island fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

A huge number of Kirigaze ninjas occupied every area of ​​these islands, and the patrols blocked the islands layer by layer, forming a tight guard net.

On the main island of its area, there are the largest number of Kirigakushi ninjas.

In the makeshift conference room, Kirigakushi's Joinin members, together with Mizukage, held a meeting here.

"Thirty reconnaissance teams, a total of 90 ninjas who are proficient in reconnaissance, have been silent since they infiltrated the western sea area of ​​the country of ghosts. Not only that, the third vanguard unit on the border of the western sea area was also completely lost three hours ago. Lost contact and disappeared. According to the investigator's report, the desert island stronghold where the Third Pioneer Unit is located has not been damaged in any way, and there is no blood trail left by the battle, and the materials in the warehouse have not been looted either. Even the footprints are the same... as if all of them suddenly disappeared from the world."

Kirigakushi Joinin, who was doing the information summary work, read it out in a solemn tone.

After he finished reading, the atmosphere in the conference room was immediately replaced by a heavy one, and everyone who participated in the meeting realized that things were getting tricky.

Not only was the reconnaissance team responsible for exploring the path wiped out, but even one of the three vanguard troops that was also dispatched also encountered a very strange situation and disappeared on the desert island stronghold.

It can be said that the battle has just started, and their tentacles and ears scattered by the fog have encountered an unprecedented crisis.

This situation surprised all of them.

It stands to reason that even if it is attacked by the large army of the Kingdom of Ghosts, it is impossible for no news to come out.

What's more, on the desert island stronghold, there was no trace of fighting between the two sides, not even blood.

Even the knowledgeable and well-informed Kirigakushi Jōnin who gathered here could not be able to restore the third vanguard. What happened on the deserted island stronghold, and what method did the country of ghosts take to make the five Hundreds of Kirigakushi ninjas disappeared without the power to resist.

It is unknown whether the missing Kirigaze ninja is alive or dead.

"This kind of situation is really bad. Although I know that the country of ghosts is not easy to deal with, I didn't expect to give us such a head-on blow... warning? Or deterrence?"

The other Kazuki Kano sighed silently.

As a neutralist, he was actually unwilling to provoke such a powerful country as the Kingdom of Ghosts, but unfortunately the high-level meeting passed this resolution, and he could only follow the army to the front line to fight the Kingdom of Ghosts.

"The captain of the third pioneer unit is Guideng Chiyue. He is an experienced elite in the village, and his strength is close to that of the seven ninja swordsmen. A ninja like him, together with hundreds of ninjas under his command, is silent." Missing'. The battlefield has not left any traces of the battle... It's incredible, I can't even think about it."

Another Kirigakushi ninja said.

He is over fifty years old, and his hair is a little gray, but he is full of energy. His eyes that look cloudy, but the depths are bright.

"Although the four-nation coalition forces, nearly 20,000 ninjas were dispatched in the first round of the attack...Let's not say Sandyin's side, Konoha and Iwagakura were both severely hindered. Especially Konoha, according to the information, three Jiraiya, one of Shinobi's assault troops, is now besieged in the eastern part of the country of bears and is in a dilemma."

"If you want to break the deadlock, we can only rely on our side of the fog, but... the reconnaissance team and one of the three vanguard units are 'disappearing'. To be honest, I don't recommend starting the country of ghosts at this time. attack."

A Kirigaku-kunin looked at the map of the sea with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Except for Guiku Gorge, the western sea area of ​​the country of ghosts, after the reconnaissance troop and the third vanguard troop were removed, was a restricted area with blind spots for Wuyin.

If you enter rashly, you are likely to be ambushed by the country of ghosts.

Moreover, they are attacking the enemy's field. If there is no "eye" to open the field of vision, one wrong step will be doomed.

No one knows what kind of dangers are hidden in the waters on the west side of the country of ghosts surrounded by thick fog at the moment.

Following the discussions of the Kirigakura Jōnin, they were roughly divided into two factions. One faction advocated continuing to organize a reconnaissance team to respond to the attack of the Allies and conduct reconnaissance on the western sea area of ​​the country of ghosts, paving the way for the attack of the large troops.

The other faction advocates full defense, waiting for the country of ghosts to reveal its own flaws.

Just as the two factions were arguing, Shicang, who was sitting in the main seat, said:

"Reorganize the reconnaissance force. This task is completed by the Fourth Conference Group. If we want to respond to the attack of the Allied countries, we must establish our 'eyes' in the waters on the west side."

Shui Ying's speech was almost a final decision, and the two factions who were arguing immediately stopped the endless arguing.

"And, I want to verify a few things."

Shikura put his hands on the conference table, his eyes calmly swept over Jounin, as if he was looking for something.

Some Shangren were so swept away by Chicura that they couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in their hearts.

"Verification? What does this mean, Mistress Shuiying?"

Some Kirigakura Junin felt puzzled.

"Shuiying-sama means that there is an inner ghost among us!"

The gray-haired Kagakushi closed his eyes and sighed.

"Inner ghost!?"

The Kirigaku Jōnin members all changed color, and they realized it in an instant, and they also understood what happened to Shicang's scrutinizing eyes.

Looking for suspicious persons among them.

"The reconnaissance team sent out, as well as the third vanguard unit, are all organized by ninjas with outstanding abilities in the fog. If the country of Oni hadn't known their route of action in advance, it would have been impossible for the reconnaissance unit and the third vanguard unit to Without making a sound, he disappeared from the western sea area. I seriously suspect that some of us have betrayed the interests of the village for personal interests and colluded with the country of ghosts!"

Having said that, Shi Cang's gaze at the crowd became even sharper.

Some people looked straight at the Kirigin Jōnin he saw, thinking that they did not betray the interests of Kirikin, and there was no need to hide their heads and tails. I lost my head, not knowing what to think.

"Of course, this is only a possibility. After all, I have great confidence in everyone's loyalty to the village. But for the sake of the overall situation, I hope that starting today, you can supervise each other to prevent the loss of important information."

The calm expression on Shicang's face disappeared, and a friendly smile appeared on his face.

But when Shikura showed such a smile, the hearts of the Kirigakura Jōnin became even more nervous.

This is a ruthless character who dared to stage a coup d'état without making a sound, and pushed the three generations of Mizukage out of power. They did not think that the misunderstanding of showing such a smile was sending a friendly signal to them.

Rather, they must have firmly believed that there is an inner ghost who betrayed the interests of the village among them, exposing this kind of 'good will'.

It's not just Kokukura, but some dexterous Kirigakura Joinin also strongly endorse Kokukura's point of view.

After all, if the action route of the reconnaissance team and the third vanguard troop was not exposed to the country of ghosts, how could hundreds of people disappear silently from the western sea area?

The problem here is really too big.

Among them, there must be inner ghosts!

With this kind of thought in mind, Kirigakure Joinin didn't say anything, but looked at his colleague, naturally with a sense of scrutiny, as if he was saying 'Will this person be an inner ghost'.

The Kirigak Joinin, who was suspected, showed dissatisfaction on his face, but it was not easy to speak out at the meeting. Similarly, they were also suspicious in their hearts. Among the Jonin present, who is their own person and who is the inner ghost.

the next day.

The ten scattered reconnaissance teams lost contact again in the waters on the west side of the country of ghosts, and disappeared mysteriously from the sea without a splash of water.

And it took less than ten minutes before and after entering the waters on the west side until he disappeared.

It was as if the Kingdom of Ghosts had set up a net in advance in the sea area ahead, knowing in advance that the reconnaissance team of Wuyin Village would set off from here, and then crash into the trap set up by the Kingdom of Ghosts.

So much so that the patrolling Wuyin team felt a little nervous and flustered when they looked at the thick foggy area on the west side of the Ghost Country.

In the depths of this invisible fog, it seemed that countless ferocious mouths were opened, just waiting for them to take the initiative to send them to the door, completely predicting the action route of the Wuyin reconnaissance team.

In the conference room, compared to yesterday, the atmosphere in today's conference room is even heavier, even with a feeling of suffocation like falling into a quagmire, which makes one's heart sink.

Shicang's expression was icy cold, and his fierce eyes swept to the several Jounin in the seats.

"The fourth conference group, the second wave of the reconnaissance group's action route, was arranged by you, but within ten minutes of entering, the contact was completely lost... Now, I need a reasonable explanation!"

"Lord Shui, Shuiying, we didn't leak the information! We definitely did not betray the interests of the village!"

One of the fourth meeting group, Junin, was sweating profusely, and defended Shicang.

"Bastard, you didn't reveal it, could it be that I, the water shadow, didn't reveal it?"

There was a bit of real anger in Shicang's tone, and the expression on his face was even more gloomy.

Seeing Shicang so angry, the rest of the jounin in the conference room also held their breaths, not daring to breathe.

They understand the mood of Shizang at the moment, and the repeated leaks of information have caused Wuyin's 'eyes' to be unable to be placed out~www.readwn.com~ In addition, the allied countries are pressing and pressing, and now it is not possible to enter, retreat Neither.

In this dilemma, as the commander-in-chief of Kiriyin, he was naturally agitated.

What's more, their water shadow is very irritable and irritable, and he is bloodthirsty by nature.

At this time, his brows were angered, and absolutely nothing good happened.

"Dang, of course, it was not leaked by Mistress Shuiying, but we really didn't leak the information. Please believe us, Mistress Mizuying!"

The Junin of the fourth meeting group responded anxiously.

"It's a pity, as Mizukage, I only believe in tangible evidence! Next, I will temporarily suspend the powers of your fourth meeting group, and Anbu will conduct a thorough investigation of all of you. The rest of the group will continue to go back to formulate new The countermeasures, dismiss the meeting!"

Shicang dropped these words coldly, left his seat, and walked out of the conference room through the side door.

The rest of the jounin also stood up from their seats, glanced at the pale-faced 4th meeting group jounin, discussed it with each other, and then kept a vigilant distance from them.

At present, the fourth conference group has the greatest possibility of collaborating with the country of ghosts.

Before the results of the investigation come out, a certain distance must be maintained with the fourth conference group to prevent implication.

Many Kirigakushi can't help but start to feel pessimistic about this battle. Before they fight head-on, Kiriyin's hands and eyes are bound by the restrictions of the kingdom of ghosts, and they provocatively provoke the kingdom of ghosts. problem?

They didn't think much about this issue before, after all, the Four Nations Alliance gave them enough confidence. But now, the important information of their Shangnin meeting is frequently lost and obtained by the country of ghosts, which makes them have to think carefully about the consequences of failure!
