Escape From Konoha

Looking around, rows and rows of forest trees plunged straight into the sky.

There are no leaves on this kind of tree, the branches are like barbs growing on the trunk, and the whole body is pale in color, giving people a feeling of white bones.

The woods were filled with a moist and refreshing breath. When Tsunade arrived here, he took a light breath and felt that his limbs and bones were full of comfort.

This white-boned forest is filled with extremely strong natural energy. On the ground and pale tree trunks, some blue-and-white slugs can be seen with the naked eye. A slimy liquid spit out from the slugs' mouthparts and flows down the branches. .

This is the Shibone Forest, one of the three holy places of psychic beasts in the ninja world.

The entire space is the domain of slugs.

According to what Tsunade knew, Shitbone Forest existed in the world before the concept of ninja was born.

The master here is a giant slug with a gentle and kind-hearted temperament. The small slugs here are all split avatars from the giant slug, with special abilities such as splitting and spewing corrosive liquids.

"Master Tsunade, why are you here?"

A slug wriggled and crawled out from the depths of the forest. Compared to the slap-sized slug next to him, the slug that was talking to Tsunade was already as big as a hill.

But Tsunade knew that this was still not the true body of the slug, but a trivial clone of the body.

When he signed the contract for the first time, Tsunade was fortunate enough to see the true body of the slug, a super-giant creature that could not be described in words.

It is unimaginable that such magical creatures exist in the ninja world.

Although Tsunade is a human who is many generations younger than it, but she is gentle by nature, and always likes to call her contractors "adults".

It can be said that it is an alternative existence among the three holy places.

Compared to the mysterious Miaomu Mountain and the brutal Longdi Cave, the slugs of the Shitbone Forest are the most docile creatures.

"Long time no see. Because there was a problem with Konoha not long ago, I want to know something from you."

"That's right, but the ninja world is really not very calm now, it seems that there is another war."

The slug lowered his body slightly, and his tone was full of compassion.

It has lived for thousands of years and can be said to know the existence of history.

Humans and ninjas are like a constant cycle of curses, unbreakable karma, war and destruction, which have always filled this land.

Tsunade fell silent when he heard this.

War is really not a good memory.

Her younger brother and lover both died on the battlefield, and the young people also died one after another.

After this war, Konoha will have many more orphans without parents.

"So, what does Tsunade-sama want to know from me? Although I may not be able to answer it, I know a little about most things in the ninja world."

The slug said softly.

Tsunade restrained his sadness, raised his head and looked up at the slug's huge head, the other's two huge white tentacles extended.

"I remember you told me in the past that the great toad immortal in Miaomu Mountain has an immortal talisman that can bring back the dead."

"Yes, Toad Maru does have such a thing in his hand."

Toad pill is the real name of the big toad immortal. In terms of status, the slug is an existence on an equal footing with it, and there is no relationship between superiors and subordinates.

"Will something like this be lent to humans casually?"

Tsunade asked himself the key.

Because it's so suspicious.

If it was Jiraiya, Tsunade thought it could be explained clearly, because Jiraiya signed a contract with Miaogishan when he was very young.

But Minato and Miao Mushan signed a contract, but only in recent years, will the relationship between the two sides be so friendly?

That is a psychic holy place that has existed for thousands of years. It should have seen through life and death.

"Lend it to humans? No, that thing will consume the life force of Toad Pill and the magic chakra. Under normal circumstances, it will not be used. As far as I know, Toad Pill was only used to human beings more than a thousand years ago. I've used this stuff."

The slug told Tsunade exactly the answer to this matter.

"Used more than a thousand years ago? Who?"

Tsunade was surprised.

How old is that? Ninjas haven't appeared yet.

"It's a man called Otsutsuki Hanamura, the ancestor of the Hinata clan of Konoha Ninja Village."

I'm sure this name has never appeared before, but it is actually associated with the Hyuga clan... Speaking of the Hyuga clan, I can't help but think of the current Hyuga clan, who are in a dilemma because of the part of the family that left.

"That is to say, if it weren't for a special situation, the Great Toad Immortal wouldn't give the Immortal Talisman to humans, right?"

"Yes. If there is, then the person saved by Kamamaru is likely to be the son of prophecy that appeared in his dream."

As the masters of the three holy places, Slug and the leaders of other holy places know each other's details.

The ninjas who can sign a contract with Miaomushan are all people in the ninja world who can call the wind and call the rain, but if those people die accidentally, the big toad immortal in Miaomushan will never use the immortal talisman to bring them back to life.

If there is a situation where the immortal talisman is used, it can only be related to the Son of Prophecy.

"What is the son of prophecy?"

Tsunade was a little puzzled, and always felt that Miaomushan was a bit mysterious.

"If I'm not mistaken, the person who was rescued by Toad Maru was a blue-eyed human, right?"

The slug didn't answer the question.

"Blue-eyed human? I think..."

Tsunade recalled the appearance of Minato, who did have blue eyes, and nodded to the slug.

"Yes, Watergate does have blue eyes."

"That's right, that human is the son of the prophecy predicted by Toad Maru, the one who can bring peace to the ninja world."

"Bring peace to the ninja world? Minato?"

Tsunade's eyes widened in disbelief, you know, this is a feat that her grandfather, the **** of ninjas, has not yet completed.

The peace her grandfather made was only while he was alive.

Immediately after that, the Ninja World War broke out. Now it is the third time. The disasters and destruction brought by the ninjas are getting more and more serious year by year.

In Tsunade's view, peace is a distant thing.

What can a young man who is not yet twenty years old in Watergate do?

Although he is a genius, he is only a gifted Jōnin of Konoha. It is not so simple to make the world peaceful.

"Kammaru's original prophecy dream said this. It also came over to ask the White Snake Immortal from Longdi Cave. If the son of prophecy encounters difficulties and seeks help, I hope to take care of him. I didn't expect that the so-called son of prophecy would really appear."

If it's just a blue-eyed human, it's nothing, but a blue-eyed human who can let the big toad immortal use the immortal talisman to save the life can basically be identified.

The slug knew that 99 percent of the Konoha ninja who Tsunade called 'Minato' was the son of the prophecy dreamed of in the dream of the great toad immortal, who could bring peace to the ninja world.

"That is to say, the reason why the big toad immortal saved Minato was because of his identity as the son of prophecy?"

Tsunade couldn't wait to ask.

"It's true, otherwise I can't think of how Toad Maru would help a human being like this. After all, contractors are just contractors. Under normal circumstances, psychic beasts will not sacrifice their lives to save the contractor."

Slug said so.

Clearly, watergate is a special type.

Because of the son of prophecy, he absolutely cannot die.

"but……"

Slug remembered something again.

"but what?"

"The person who can kill the Son of Prophecy is also a terrible guy. If Tsunade-sama encounters that person, be careful."

The slug was worried about Tsunade's safety, so he reminded her that it is best to avoid such a dangerous guy without fighting.

"That person is now Konoha's betrayal and a student I once taught at the ninja school."

Tsunade said with a wry smile.

"Is that so? Anyway, Tsunade-sama should be careful."

"Let's not talk about it, I want to know more about the Son of Prophecy."

Tsunade demanded.

"This is a bit difficult. I only know so much about the Son of Prophecy. If Tsunade-sama is interested in this, you can go to the land of ghosts and find a contemporary witch for divination."

"The witch of the land of ghosts?"

"There is the birthplace of witches. Female human beings who inherit the power of witches have the mysterious power to reverse time and space and suppress demons. Although they are not as omnipotent as Miaomushan in prophecy, they also have their own uniqueness. Maybe witches can help You, Tsunade-sama."

Slug explained.

About the Son of Prophecy, it only knows so much. If Tsunade continues to investigate, either go to Miaomu Mountain or go to the human witch, there are only two directions.

"Forget it, the war is going on. This time I'm here, I've already squeezed out the time. If I go to the country of ghosts, it's a waste of time. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. After the war is over, I'll go to the country of ghosts. Come, look for the witch there."

Tsunade shook his head. Although he was very concerned about the issue of Minato and the Son of Prophecy, the most important thing now is to win this war.

Sandyin and Iwayin's joint attack, Konoha is under a lot of pressure now, and it's not her time to relax.

"Since that's the case, then follow Tsunade-sama's own thoughts. If you have anything, you can call me over to help at any time."

After the slug finished speaking, it wriggled its huge body and headed towards the deep foggy area shrouded in the Bone Forest.

"Son of Prophecy? I remember when I was drinking before, Jiraiya also seemed to have leaked about this..."

Tsunade looked at the figure of the slug leaving, and stood there frowning thinking.

"The country of ghosts, look for an opportunity to visit again in the future."

Moreover, she is also very interested in the up-and-coming star of Shiyuanhua Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. Maybe Konoha can cooperate with this company further.

◎

Ghost country.

The forbidden military area of ​​Ziyuan City, the capital city, has been divided into many departmental areas after previous expansion.

The office area is responsible for meetings, issuing orders, personnel transfers, and so on. The scientific research area is divided into two functions: scientific research manufacturing and factory. One is used to research and develop new technologies, and the other is used for assembly line production, occupying the largest area.

Dormitory areas are used for rest and recreation. The newly built school district is responsible for nurturing the new generation of ninjas, adding fresh blood to the organization.

There are also special areas for combat training and stockpiling of weapons.

Shiraishi usually stays in two places: the office area and the scientific research area. The building shape of the office area, looking down from the top, looks like a gap under the word "mouth", with a spacious aisle in the middle.

The corridors of the four-story building are connected to each other, and the open space enclosed in the middle is a large atrium square that can be directly illuminated by the sun.

The pavement is paved with smooth and wear-resistant hard stone slabs, surrounded by plants and trees, bringing natural freshness.

On the fourth floor in the middle, there is Shiraishi's office.

At this moment, Shiraishi is sitting in his office. The chairs and bookshelves are arranged in an orderly manner. There are several flower pots on the balcony, which are placed outside to absorb sunlight and sprinkle water regularly.

At the moment, Shiraishi is holding an ear-band-type radio communication device. This kind of device has also been seen by Shiraishi in Konoha Village. When the switch is turned on, he can communicate with his teammates and exchange information and tactics.

However, because the distance is too long, it is impossible to communicate, so the role in actual combat is not particularly obvious.

The collection and timely exchange of information is crucial to both strategy and tactics.

The radio communication device he held in his hand was the latest model developed by the scientific research department. Its function was better than the one on the market, and the communication distance was also longer, which could reach about five kilometers.

At this distance, a normal perceptual ninja can reach this level when using perceptual ninjutsu.

If equipped, it will bring great advantages in squad mode battles.

There are also some other electronic tools, which are slowly being modified and invented at Shiraishi's request.

In Shiraishi's view, the future era will definitely change, and the ninja's fighting style must gradually fit in with the era, otherwise it will be abandoned by the era.

This is also the reason why Shiraishi requested to organize personnel to search for scientific research talents in the ninja world very early.

A person's power is extremely small, unable to promote the times, and more talented people are needed to create.

At present, the number of scientific researchers recruited into the organization has reached dozens of people. I dare not say that they are top talents in every field, but the wisdom and strength they have gathered are definitely not to be underestimated.

Shiraishi put down the earband-type radio communicator and walked to the side, where there were already many boxes full of books and scrolls, and many books and scrolls were covered with dust.

These things are the antiquities materials sent by the bug man to transport them back. The matter of Miaomu Mountain reminded Baishi.

The power of the three holy places is definitely more than the simple ability of immortal magic.

Shiraishi needs to find more information and information to study the three holy places.

Shiraishi started rummaging through the box to find what he needed.

These books and scrolls record legends about immortals and psychic beasts, but some of the records are too nonsense, obviously some storybooks, not the information he wants.

"Huh? This is..."

Shiraishi took out a book from the bottom of the box. The paper surface of the book was a little yellow, there were traces of blisters, and some pages were very dry and hard.

The name of the book is "The Story of the Toad Immortal Hero".

The title of the book accurately mentions toads and immortals, which makes Shiraishi have to think of the place in Miaomu Mountain.

Shiraishi felt that there was a high probability that this book was what he was looking for.

After all, most people would not put toads and fairies together.

Shiraishi couldn't wait to open it and looked at it very carefully at first, but the more he looked down, the more he felt that something was wrong, and his face became more and more stiff.

Until he saw the self-proclaimed 'Toad Immortal' human protagonist had an indescribable relationship with a big-breasted girl, the content was meticulous and bold, and the emotional color was rich, so Shiraishi couldn't help but think of the title of the book "Toad Immortal Hero Story", with a slightly silent expression. .

The content here, not to mention Miaomushan, just tells the story of a human teenager who claimed to have obtained the power of a toad, wandered the ninja world under the title of "Toad Immortal", and had various exciting and fragrant harem love stories with some women.

Simply put, it is a small H book.

It's so outrageous.

Waste his time and affection.

Moreover, the writing is immature, and Shiraishi can be sure that the author who wrote this book must be no more than twenty years old at the time.

Then quickly turn to the end, and on the last page, there is a familiar signature -

Come also.

Single copy price: 200 taels.

"...No wonder there are toads and fairies."

Shiraishi smiled helplessly.

Shiraishi knew something about Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas.

She is lustful and likes to create, but according to Tsunade, most of the things the other side writes are unsightly adult stories that are not suitable for underage children to watch.

Shiraishi reluctantly put down the book, walked over to another box, and started flipping through the books and scrolls.

Before long, Shiraishi found an arm-length scroll tied with a string.

On this, I also noticed the faint Chakra fluctuations.

Shiraishi unfolded the scroll curiously, and it recorded the names of people written in blood. Below each name, he also pressed red blood fingerprints.

"It turned out to be the contract scroll of the psychic beast."

Shiraishi recognized the origin of this scroll, and it was a contract scroll that could no longer sign the contract name.

In the last box, a person's name was also signed, indicating that it had been used up, and it was just a psychic contract scroll for collection.

"But... it's really a luxurious surname, both Uzumaki and Senju clan ninjas. The nearest Senju clan ninjas are also characters from more than 300 years ago."

Shiraishi looked at the ninjas who signed their names. In addition to the Uchiha clan, the Uzumaki clan, the Qianshou clan, and the Yui clan that perished during the Warring States Period were all once the top ninja clan in the ninja world.

And after hundreds of years, the contract scroll can be preserved so well, and the signatories were once a wealthy ninja in the ninja clan. Shiraishi felt that the origin of this psychic scroll was not simple.

So, he continued to unfold the scrolls until they were all unfolded, and at the beginning, Shiraishi saw a familiar title—the Slug Slug Immortal in the Wet Bone Forest.

"The contract scroll of the three holy places? No wonder even the ninjas of the Uzumaki and Qianshou clan are eager to sign their names on it."

As expected, before seeing the origin of the scroll, Shiraishi also felt that this was not the contract scroll of the three holy places, and it must be the psychic beasts behind the background.

"Unfortunately, the quota is already full, and there is no way to sign the contract on it."

Shiraishi regretfully prepared to close the contract scroll, but while it was scrolling, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind.

Wait, contract!

Shiraishi stopped scrolling the scroll and looked at the last vertical column of the signature column. The upper limit sign was the name of the ninja of the Thousand-hand clan, which was the ninja of the Thousand-hand clan more than 300 years ago.

On the name written in blood, a part of the chakra remains, and it still plays a role to this day.

"Sorry, I'll choose you to experiment."

After Shiraishi finished speaking, he began to gather chakra, made a seal with his hands, and finally slapped the name on the last square with his right hand.

"Contract seal!"

Chakra visible to the naked eye flowed from the palm of the hand, and the name of the ninja of the thousand-hand clan immediately became lighter. Finally, the name and fingerprints written in blood all became volatilized into the air and disappeared without a trace.

"This method is indeed feasible. In this way, the secrets of the three holy places can be quickly revealed."

With a smile on Shiraishi's face, he bit his fingers, and without hesitation, signed his name in the empty vertical box, and signed a contract with the slugs in the Shikbone Forest.

Next, summon the slug first and ask some questions.

Shiraishi was not sure how the slug would treat him when he rushed to a place like the Shitbone Forest. After all, there were psychic beasts that lived there for more than a thousand years. Better still be careful.

Slugs are summoned here. If the other party is dissatisfied with his cheating contract, he can also take the initiative to cancel the contract.

After Shiraishi thought about it, he went to the atrium outside and prepared to use the psychic technique to summon the slugs of the Shitbone Forest.

Just when Baishi stood up, white smoke suddenly appeared around his body, and when the smoke dissipated, Baishi's figure had disappeared in place.

After about a minute, someone knocked on the door and came in.

The person who came in was Liuli. When she saw the empty office, she frowned in dissatisfaction.

"Oh, isn't Shiraishi-kun here?"

Ayane's voice also appeared and walked in from outside.

Like Liuli, she also saw the empty office with a puzzled expression.

When Liuli saw Ayane coming in, her brows furrowed even tighter. She thought that Shiraishi had gone to Ayane's place, but Ayane's current appearance also showed that Shiraishi was not with her.

"What is this? Contract scroll?"

Liuli saw the huge scroll spread out on the ground, and on the last grid of the scroll, signed Shiraishi's name.

Ayane opened her eyes and stared at the scroll seriously.

"His chakra remains in the name composed of bloodstains. It is indeed the scroll that signed the contract with the psychic beast."

She sighed, and it was obvious that the reason for Shiraishi's disappearance was related to this contract scroll.

--the other side.

Shiraishi came to a forest full of pale and gloomy trees. The thick white fog blocked the line of sight in front of him, and the visible range was very small.

Shiraishi glanced around, the blue and white slugs were climbing on the ground and trees, and transparent mucus was secreted from their mouthparts.

In the slime, Shiraishi felt the energy of nature.

In this space, the natural energy contained in the humid air surprised Shiraishi.

"Is it Wet Bone Forest? It really lives up to its name."

Shiraishi took a deep breath, knowing what his current situation was.

If the situation is not right at that time, call all the clones to deal with it.

Furthermore, he did not feel the murderous aura and hostility of the slugs in this forest, so there should be no such thing as fighting.

According to the news that Tsunade had accidentally revealed, the slugs of the Shitbone Forest are psychic beasts with a very mild temperament and are not keen on killing and fighting. Among the three holy places, it is the psychic beast that respects the will of the contractor the most.

Therefore, it is best to be able to negotiate.

To be honest, Shiraishi is not sure about fighting psychic beasts over a thousand years old.

It didn't take long for Shiraishi to stop.

Because there is no road ahead.

A huge black shadow loomed in the thick fog.

Shiraishi looked up with a rare shock on his face.

Slug!

A blue and white slug that I don't know what words to use to describe it, appeared alive in front of me~www.wuxiamtl.com~ To be more specific, even the avatar of the water after entering the fairy mode, incarnated into a huge The python, in front of this slug, is like a contrast between a baby and an adult.

The size difference is too big.

Just rolling his body can cause the ground to shake and the mountains to shake, and he can unleash the great power of S-rank destructive ninjutsu.

What's more, the natural energy and chakra reserves in the slug's body are as vast and boundless as the ocean.

no! If you fight, you can't see a win rate at all.

The opponent just wriggled his body, and he had to fight with all his strength.

The power gap is too large, and any conspiracy and tricks are ineffective.

Shiraishi suppressed the shock in his heart, and his face was always calm.

The slug also exposed its huge head in the thick fog, and lowered its head to face Shiraishi.

The scene was eerily quiet.
