Escape From Konoha

Vol 8 Chapter 31: Gargoyle

In the office, Baishi held a thesis material in his hand.

This is what Ichihime saw and felt in the Land of Fire and Konoha, and everything is presented in the paper in detail.

Although in Shiraishi's view, this paper still has many deficiencies, but the more critical issues in the country of fire and Konoha were all written by Kazuhime in the paper. Therefore, this small flaw, Shiraishi I didn't care.

"It can be seen that Ichiki, you are very attentive to observe the various problems of the Nation of Fire and Konoha, from their beliefs to the institutional level, basically you are carefully analyzing them. To be honest, it is a bit beyond my expectations."

Shiraishi put down the thesis materials in his hands. For a nine-year-old child, this is enough to be called excellent.

Although it is a good thing to keep improving, Baishi also feels that there is no need to worry about this kind of thing, too much is too late, and it is not necessarily a good thing for a person to grow up too quickly.

"In other words, you passed the test, right?"

Yiji raised her head and asked.

She really worked hard to make this thesis. In the past two years, she has traveled through the entire Fire Kingdom through the channel of the Ghost Kingdom. In addition, Konoha is also a key observation target.

In fact, there are many problems that she doesn't need to look for. Fire Nation and Konoha have already exposed the problems on their own initiative.

In Kazuki's view, this should be because she is used to living in the ghost country, and suddenly entered a country with a completely different system, ideology, and culture from the ghost country, and naturally found those problems quickly.

From the perspective of the ninja system, in Kazuhime's view, ninjas... from the Warring States period to the present, have not actually changed in any essential way.

In the past Warring States period, the way ninjas survived was to accept the employment of daimyo from various countries and help them win the war.

Later, Senju Hashirama, the patriarch of the Senju Clan, changed the original method and moved forward to the era of one country and one village, and established the first ninja village in the ninja world—Konoha.

Afterwards, it was imitated by various countries, and officially entered the fierce era of the five major powers competing for hegemony.

After the death of Senshou Zhujian, this contradiction deepened day by day.

Fearing the power of Senjujujian, countries dare not do anything, but as long as Senjujujian dies, this suppressive force will naturally cease to exist.

Behind the seemingly peaceful situation, in fact, fundamental problems still exist.

That is the employment mode of ninjas. It is still the same as the Warring States Period, a group of mercenaries, not real soldiers belonging to a country.

It's better in Konoha, the ninjas occasionally work for ordinary residents in the village for free, but once the village is excluded, even the nearest villages need to pay to ask the ninjas to help.

To wipe out the bandits, the residents of the Land of Fire also need to hire ninjas at their own expense. Konoha ninjas will not contribute their strength for free.

On the surface, it is a fair transaction... But this kind of transaction, in Yiji's view, seems very distorted.

Who pays for the military expenses of Ninja Village?

Nobility?

No, it's not.

The military expenses of Ninja Village were paid by countless low-level laborers in the Land of Fire.

These low-level laborers have to pay a heavy tax every year, which is collected by the daimyo and the major nobles, and then part of it is distributed to the ninja village to serve as military expenses for the ninja village to develop its military power.

Fundamentally speaking, it is these low-level laborers who create real wealth, not daimyo, nobles, and ninjas.

Because those ninja villages do not produce, or rarely engage in production.

They still retain the traditional bad habits of using people's money to eliminate disasters. They are essentially no different from bounty hunters in the underground black market.

In Yiji's view, when civilians pay taxes, the state has the duty to protect them, instead of collecting additional money and increasing unnecessary burdens on the people.

Because the richer the people, the tax will increase, and the higher the tax, the better the development of the country. This is a virtuous circle.

Kazuhime did not see these phenomena in the Fire Country and Konoha.

The daimyo and nobles collected more than 90% of the country's wealth, and then distributed a small part to the ninja village to maintain the "contract" between them.

Ninja Village, which has received development funds, will naturally go against the daimyo and nobles in order to uphold justice for the bottom laborers who create real wealth.

In essence, Ninja Village is also thinking about issues from the perspective of those with vested interests.

Taking the hard-earned money made by the bottom laborers, but not really serving the bottom of the country, this is simply not like a soldier in a country.

This is also the conclusion why Yi Ji believes that ninjas are not soldiers.

Konoha's ninjas are essentially mercenaries, living a life of using people's money to eliminate disasters. Ninja Village, to put it bluntly, is a symbol of a country's military power, but to put it bluntly, it is a slightly larger training base for mercenaries.

Calling them soldiers is the greatest humiliation to soldiers.

If this disadvantage is eliminated from the beginning, the Ninja world may not develop so deformedly. Unfortunately, the first Hokage Senjujuma, who established the era of one country and one village, did not realize this problem.

In other words, he simply doesn't have enough knowledge accumulation to support his thinking about how to build a country with a benign system.

Therefore, Yiji felt that her old man was very powerful, and how important it was to popularize education and eradicate illiteracy.

"Of course, for you now, it is enough to be called excellent."

Shiraishi was not stingy with his praise.

Growth cannot be achieved overnight. Only by applying what you have learned can you better understand the pattern and see the road ahead.

In addition to these, Yi Ji also mentioned other things, but generally speaking, other things are secondary issues.

"So, in what ways do you think this deadlock needs to be broken?"

"What way? Don't you already act on this kind of thing, old man?"

Kazuhime is quite disdainful of Shiraishi's form of knowingly asking questions.

It is nothing more than to push forward the times through war, and completely destroy and ravage the inherent dross.

The structure of today's ninja world has long been solidified. The daimyo and nobles have considerable wealth, while the lower-level laborers have no wealth. However, the wealth accumulated by daimyo and nobles for generations was plundered from the bottom people. They who have plundered most of the wealth in the world just maintain their status and authority as superiors, and have not fulfilled their due responsibilities.

The same is true for ninjas. They unknowingly become tools used by daimyo and nobles to oppress the lower classes.

As vested interests, they have been enemies from the very beginning.

The gap between the systems, one day, if the kingdom of ghosts does not take action against the five major powers, the five major powers will also extend their war minions to the kingdom of ghosts.

Instead of doing that, it is better to accumulate strength, preemptive strikes, and completely control the situation in your own hands.

This can not only buy time, but also destroy the connection between the five major countries. Wuyin Village is the best example.

"Really? It seems that you still remember what I told you about 'Xiao', and you didn't disappoint me."

Shiraishi smiled slightly.

The "Akatsuki" in his mouth is not the "Akatsuki" organization that Nagato controls now, but a patriotic organization spontaneously formed by many passionate youths in the Rain Country in order to save the Country of Rain in the past.

They have no accumulation of knowledge, no military and economic foundation, but rely on their passion to save their country and people.

Many years ago, Shiraishi predicted that this organization would end in a dismal way.

The confusion and despair experienced by this organization are also recorded in the history books of the Oni Ninja School, which can be said to be quite a powerful negative teaching material.

For Yiji to give such an answer, it is obvious that she also remembers this period of history in her heart.

Akatsuki, led by Yahiko Amane, is not so much a product of the Ninja World War, as it is that the bottom has been oppressed for a long time, and someone will naturally speak out for it.

When people can't survive, they will naturally resist.

This is also the reason why bandits and bandits continue within the territory of the five major countries.

The predecessors of these bandits were low-level personnel who were squeezed to the extreme, and they could only survive in this way.

Eradicating banditry will never rely on the violence of ninjas. If there are problems in the system, using violence to solve them will only add more rebels.

In this era, there are countless people who are not afraid of death, and they will never be killed.

"Next, rest at home for a period of time. After that, I will arrange for you to study in Kirigakure Village. I have already agreed with the fourth Mizukage Yakura of Kirigakure that you can study there with peace of mind."

Shiraishi said to Kazuki.

Ichiki nodded.

She has already seen the old-fashioned Konoha and the Land of Fire, and next, she is going to see Wuyin Village, which is closer to the Land of Ghosts, which is an opportunity for change.

Moreover, Kirigakure is the secret alliance ninja village of the ghost country. She used to strengthen the relationship between the two parties, not just for the task of studying and researching.

Shiraishi put away Kazuhime's thesis materials, and was about to continue to speak when the instrument on the desk suddenly started to operate.

White paper with words written on it came out of it.

It is an urgent report.

Bai Shi glanced at the contents of the urgent report, his face became serious.

"I wanted to talk to you about other things, but it seems that there is no extra time now. Yiji, don't walk around here. I will go out for a few days to solve some troubles."

The content of the urgent report is very sudden, large-scale stone statue soldiers suddenly appeared in the western coastal area, central mountain area, and southern forest of the ghost country, attacking the surrounding towns from different directions.

These stone statue soldiers even launched indiscriminate attacks on the surrounding countries towards the area outside the ghost country.

We must suppress this turmoil before it becomes a big deal.

Shiraishi naturally knows who is the mastermind behind the manipulation of these stone statue soldiers. The monster sprites that have survived since ancient times, in the kingdom of ghosts, only sprites can do such a thing.

shrine.

Only a few maids in maiden costumes were waiting here, and Maitreya, the owner of the shrine, had long since disappeared.

Shiraishi didn't know about it until he got to the shrine.

Entering the side hall of the shrine, the ancient stone gate in the center of the circular altar has been opened at some point.

The air in the side hall was also full of natural freshness, without the depression and dullness of the past, but Baishi was not happy about it.

This stone gate is an important tool for sealing the soul of sprites.

The opening of the stone gate means that the ghost's soul has broken free from its shackles.

The palm touched the open stone door.

Judging from the traces, it should have been not long ago that the sprite's soul broke free from its shackles.

The floor of the side hall, as well as the walls, were severely worn, with many cracks.

Clearly there has been a battle here.

Not surprisingly, it should be the scene caused by Maitreya Priestess and the sprite's soul fighting.

Since Maitreya Miko and the souls of the sprites are not here, then there is only one place Shiraishi can think of where the two of them can go—

The country of marshes.

The soul and body of sprites have always been sealed separately.

The soul is guarded by Maitreya Miko, while the body is sealed in an active volcanic shrine in the country of marshes for isolation.

If sprites want to be resurrected in a complete way, they must obtain the physical body sealed in the Volcano of the Marsh Country to restore their full strength.

And Maitreya Miko wants to stop the monster, she must go to the country of the swamp, wait for the monster to come, and seal it again.

After Shiraishi figured these things out, he quickly left the shrine quietly.

The order has been conveyed. In fact, in order to deal with the stone statue army that will appear sooner or later, there are actually ninja troops stationed in various urban areas.

Although these stone statue legions cannot be eliminated, there is still no problem in preventing them from entering the town and causing damage.

The only problem is with sprites.

As long as the power of sprites is still spreading, these stone statue legions will not stop attacking, and will continue to be produced to attack towns where humans gather.

The sky above suddenly became gloomy.

One moment the sky was clear, and the next moment it was covered by cloud.

The mighty and majestic stone statue soldiers showed their figures from the mountain path, holding huge oppressive stone blades in their hands, with red eyes, and walking heavy steps. Every step they took caused the earth to tremble.

At a glance, it looks like thousands of troops are galloping.

In the distance, a Kunai shot from a distance, with a detonating talisman tied to it, aiming at a stone soldier to attack.

Ding!

Kunai was bounced away by the steel-like body of the stone statue soldier, only sparks appeared, and then the detonating talisman burned, and the flames from the detonation burst out instantly, swallowing several stone statue soldiers around.

When the flames dissipated, the surface layers of the stone statue soldiers could not be said to be unscathed, but there were only some holes that would not hinder the movement. One can imagine how strong the bodies of these stone statue soldiers are.

The body is like steel, and the strength is like a giant elephant.

Such stone statue soldiers are not one or two, but a legion.

The formed military, even if the ninja legion confronted it head-on, would suffer heavy casualties.

The only good thing is that these stone statue soldiers are cumbersome and have no intelligence at all. They don't have the ability to automatically search for enemies, and they can only rely on the magician to maintain their actions.

The fundamental way to solve these stone statue soldiers is to find the magician who is manipulating them behind the scenes, and just unlock the control.

Ayane stood on the top of the mountain, playing with a kunai in her hand, and stared thoughtfully at the army of stone statues marching towards the town of the ghost country below.

These stone statue soldiers are invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire, even detonating talismans, it is difficult to pose a fatal threat to them.

If the ninjas from the kingdom of ghosts fought these stone statue soldiers head-on, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

"Master Ayane, I brought the charms made by the nearby shrine."

A ghost country ninja hurried here.

He held a wooden box in his arms and put it on the ground.

The sights of a dozen or so ninjas from the Oni Nation all focused on the wooden box.

Open it, and there are stacks of neatly cut charms in the wooden box.

These charms are made by priestesses from various shrines in the Oni Land.

Different from explosive charms like detonating charms, these charms can cause strong damage to puppets such as stone soldiers who are indirectly affected by monsters and sprites.

Picking up a talisman, Ayane wrapped it around Kunai's handle, and fired at a stone soldier in the mountain path without hesitation.

Ayane intends to test the power of these charms for herself.

This time, Kunai was not bounced away by the stone statue soldier, but directly submerged into the stone statue soldier's body.

The spell wrapped around the handle of Kuwu quickly ignited blue sparks, engulfing the entire body of the stone soldier.

When the blue sparks faded from the stone soldier, only a pile of broken stones remained on the ground.

This scene surprised many ninjas from the Ghost Kingdom, who did not expect this kind of spell to be so powerful.

Even the detonating talisman can't break the stone soldier, and these seemingly indestructible runes can disintegrate the stone soldier's body from the inside, turning them into useless stones scattered all over the place.

Under the observation of Ayane's white eyes, he could clearly see the internal condition of the stone soldier.

The blue sparks burning on the talisman wiped away the purple-black Chuck in the stone soldier's body without a trace.

Those purple-black chakras are the formation techniques that control the stone statue soldiers.

As long as these purple-black chakras are erased, the stone soldier will be a pile of useless stones.

Seeing the power of the talisman paper, Ayane nodded, and said to the Ninja of the Oni Nation next to him: "I will leave this to you, and I will deal with the magician."

"Look at us, there is no problem now."

The ninjas of the ghost country are full of confidence.

With these talisman papers, the threat of stone soldiers is greatly reduced.

At this moment, the blood-red sword light spread from a distant place, fell from the sky, and fell into the narrow mountain road, causing a loud bang.

A large number of stone soldiers rolled in the air, their bodies and the stone blades in their hands were torn apart, and the battle was almost a one-sided massacre.

After that, a fire like a vast ocean roared past the mountain path.

Most of the walking stone soldiers were swept in, burned red by the scorching flames, and the surface of their bodies cracked brittlely.

The ground and the mountain roads on both sides left muddy scorched black marks, braving the terrifying high temperature that made the air bend.

The hundreds of stone statue soldiers who made the ninjas of the ghost country feel troublesome were eliminated so easily.

The speed was so fast that none of them could react.

Ayane also sighed, and smiled helplessly: "It seems that you are not needed here, you go to other places to destroy the stone soldiers, and be careful not to damage the town, otherwise the reconstruction work will be very troublesome."

"yes."

Now that the stone statue soldiers here have been dealt with, there is no need for them to do it themselves.

Afterwards, they disappeared from the spot one by one, and turned to other places to destroy the stone soldiers.

Liuli didn't know when she appeared here, looking at the mountain road below, which turned into a hot **** with a high temperature steamer, her eyes changed into the form of Sangouyu Sharingan, her eyes were calm and indifferent.

"It's too slow. An opponent of this level has to waste so much time."

Ayane turned to look at her: "No way, unlike you, I'm not very good at dealing with a large number of enemies."

This sentence is not wrong, her soft fist is more suitable for single-point breakthroughs.

Even if it is a large-area destructive soft fist-Shenkong strike, it is actually a dangerous move to kill the enemy.

And it will consume a lot of chakra, so it must be used with caution.

Liuli is different.

Although these stone statue soldiers have a hard body and strength comparable to giant elephants, they move slowly and do not know how to adapt to this. Marching through narrow mountain roads and pressing into towns is undoubtedly the best for a ninja like Liuli who has ninjutsu suitable for large-scale cleaning. Good live target.

Even a body as hard as steel can't resist Susano's blade, nor can it block the high-temperature fire escape that is fused with sensu chakra and can dissolve steel.

"The borders of the country have been sealed off. Next, we just need to get rid of the ghosts and ghosts who are manipulating these stone soldiers behind the scenes."

"The country of the swamp? According to the news I received not long ago, Mr. Baishi has already taken a step ahead, and we have to leave sooner."

These stone statue soldiers are not difficult opponents for a ninja of her strength, at most they are a little troublesome to do.

The real key lies in the monster sprites. If you can't seal the sprites, no matter how many stone soldiers you deal with, it won't help.

The country of Marsh is located in the middle of the country of ghosts and the country of You. It is a small country occupying a very small area on the map of the ninja world.

The flesh body of the monster sprite was sealed in a volcanic shrine in the country of swamp.

In order to fully revive herself, sprites will definitely go to the Volcanic Shrine in the Land of Swamp.

These stone statue soldiers seem to be attacking fiercely and with great momentum, but they are just smoke bombs thrown by sprites, and they are used to attack east and west.

Ayane and Liuli were about to leave when suddenly, in the mountain path below which was still hot, a scarlet and strange light lit up.

A stone blade struck through the air, without any warning, and flew towards the back of Ayane's head.

Click!

The stone blade hit the back of Ayane's head, split open instantly, and shattered into pieces like celestial maidens scattered flowers.

Seeing this scene with scarlet and evil eyes, his faith was suddenly shaken.

Is this woman's head made of diamond?

Such a question could not help but arise.

Not only did it fail to leave a wound on the back of the opponent's head, but what was shattered was the projected hard stone blade.

Ayane turned around as if nothing had happened, and looked down.

A half-disabled stone soldier stood there stubbornly, with nothing in his hand.

The stone blade projected towards Ayane was its final attack.

"A sprite?"

The stone soldier has no intelligence, only the most basic ability to move, and the action module is very dull~www.wuxiamtl.com~Sneak attack is not like the spontaneous behavior of the stone soldier at all.

"…interesting…"

Such words came from the mouth of the half-disabled stone soldier, and the scarlet blood in his eyes suddenly turned into blackness. The stone soldier stood there like a sculpture, motionless, letting the high temperature in the mountain path bake him.

"Is your head okay? It shouldn't affect the next battle."

Liuli asked.

Ayane waved her hand and replied: "It's okay, I feel like I was bitten by a mosquito. There is absolutely no need to hide from this level of attack. Let's go, we must hurry to the country of marsh to meet Shiraishi-kun. I have been staying at home for the past two years I can’t go anywhere, so now I can do some activities.”

Liuli nodded, and then disappeared in place together with Ayane using the instant body technique.
