Escape From Konoha

The sun shines through the leaves and dapples the fine light.

In a forest clearing filled with cool air, a man is doing one-finger push-ups with the index finger of his right hand.

Every movement he made was very standard, hard sweat flowed from his forehead, and he didn't complain about suffering or tiredness, but counted very calmly:

"Nine hundred and ninety-six... Nine hundred and ninety-seven... Nine hundred and ninety-eight... Nine hundred and ninety-nine..."

Every time a one-finger push-up is done, a number will be reported, the breath is long and full, and I am completely selfless in the training.

"one thousand…"

After finishing the thousandth one-finger push-ups, the man's aura changed, and he stood up abruptly from the ground.

"Very good, I also finished a thousand push-ups today, and the next step is to run around the village for 20 laps. You can't stop halfway, or you will be fined to run 50 laps."

To spur yourself in such a cruel way, this is the purpose of life that the man—Mite Kay must fulfill.

Don't waste every minute and every second of your youth, and spur yourself every moment not to be satisfied with the current state.

There are still many powerful enemies waiting to be defeated in this world.

When he came to a tree, Kai bent down and picked up the water bottle placed there, and drank happily.

Just as he finished drinking the water and was about to put down the water bottle, his ears moved suddenly, and a sharp breath came from behind without warning.

Can't help but think about it, turned around quickly, stretched out his palm, and firmly grasped the arm that hit his body, making the attacker's attack ineffective.

What followed was a brilliant white knife light, and a crescent-like slash from bottom to top. Kai immediately let go of the attacker's wrist, and jumped back vigorously, so as to distance himself from the opponent. distance.

Kai, who opened a safe distance, his shoulders trembled slightly, and it could be seen that it was very reluctant to dodge that slash.

"As expected of you, Kai, I didn't expect to be able to escape my attack when I was exhausted."

Kakashi flicked the White Fang dagger in his hand easily, then retracted it into the scabbard behind his back, and praised Kai.

Kai showed a pair of shiny teeth and said, "Kakashi, don't forget, I am your opponent for life. This level is not a problem at all."

"Really? Seeing that you're fine, I'm relieved."

Kakashi saw the bright and confident smile on Kai's face, and his tone relaxed.

Kai scratched his head, bewildered.

"Why, did you come here to comfort me, Kakashi?"

"Yeah, after all, after Obito and Lin left, you are the only friend I cherish most in Konoha among my peers."

Kakashi didn't hide his intentions, leaned against the shade of a tree next to him, took out "Massacre in Heaven" from his ninja bag, watched it with relish, and said to Kai.

"Haha, then you're going to be disappointed, Kakashi, I didn't feel sad at all. Dad, even if he burned his last life, he died with a smile in the end. Moreover, as a genius teacher Liuli, he recognized Dad What do I have to regret about my hard work?"

Kai replied like this, and there was no trace of resentment in his tone.

"Do you really think so?"

Kakashi asked casually.

Kai nodded, with a sincere flame burning in his eyes.

"A man who devoted all his youth and hard work, finally died in a duel with a strong enemy. This kind of life will never leave any regrets. This is the path my father pursues. As his son, I only need to respect him." gone."

"Yes, Uncle Dai has been pursuing the path of transcending himself all his life. If you think so, maybe you can surpass Uncle Dai's achievements in the future."

Kakashi nodded in approval.

Matt Dai is undoubtedly a ninja who works tirelessly for his life.

A person like him has already devoted all his youth and hard work in his past life.

If you want to say that such a person still has regrets in life, it would be too arrogant.

This is a respectable man.

Kai inherited such a will, and Kakashi believed that Kai would probably surpass his father in the future.

It was Kai who understood this that he didn't have any resentment in his heart.

Because any resentment is a disrespect to his father.

At the last moment of his life, his father tried his best to fail to defeat the ninja, and then handed over this unfinished goal to his children to inherit and protect the village. Matt Dai's life has no regrets.

"How about it? It's a rare opportunity. Do you want to have a youthful and passionate fight with me? Kakashi?"

Kai smiled and invited Kakashi, with a strong fighting spirit burning in his eyes.

"Oh, I'll forget it, Anbu has a lot of things to deal with recently, and it's rare for me to relax."

Kakashi glanced at Kai and lazily refused.

The Uchiha clan was exterminated, and the mission originally belonged to the Uchiha Guard, but now it is all assigned to Anbu.

Dealing with all kinds of civil disputes in the village every day is a bit overwhelming, so I don't have time to compete with Kai.

After all, in the competition between myself and Kai, it is impossible to tell the winner for a while.

Under the premise of using fairy art.

When Kai was about to say something, suddenly a figure appeared not far away, wearing the same Anbu costume as Kakashi, with a ninja knife behind his back, and an animal mask on his face.

Seeing this Anbu ninja appear, Kakashi closed the "Kindness to Heaven" in his hand and sighed softly.

Really, I finally took the time to sneak in, do I have a task again?

Could it be that the villagers there are drinking and making trouble again, and Anbu needs to go to mediate?

Kakashi also felt a little bored doing this all day long.

Anyhow, it's Anbe, dealing with these trivial matters all day long, it feels a bit overkill.

The Uchiha clan was wiped out, and the bitter fruit of the lack of security system was exposed by itself.

"Tianzang, what's the matter?"

Kakashi walked over and asked.

Tianzang replied: "Captain Kakashi, you are really lazy, and the team is almost busy now."

"Didn't I take time out to buy something? How about it? Is there something wrong again?"

Kakashi scratched his head helplessly.

"No, it was Hokage-sama who called you over, and it seems that he has something to tell you."

Tianzang came to convey the order.

"Master Hokage? I see."

Kakashi put "Massacre Heaven" in the ninja bag and kept it carefully. Since it was Hokage's order, there was no way to continue to be lazy.

Immediately afterwards, Kakashi turned his head to look at Kai and said, "Then, Kai, I'll go first."

"It's okay, Kakashi, Anbu's work is important. If you want to compete, you can come to me at any time. Youth does not allow slack!"

Kai gave Kakashi a thumbs up, his exposed teeth were shining brightly, encouraging Kakashi to work with 100% energy.

"It's said that it's not for a competition... Forget it, anyway, it's good if you can see it."

Kakashi responded to Kai perfunctorily, and then left the woods with Tenzo.

Kai looked at Kakashi's back, and murmured to himself: "Look away?"

Immediately, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It feels good to be cared by friends like this.

"Very good, let's complete today's training according to this momentum! The next step is to run around the village at full speed for 20 laps, and increase to 50 laps if you can't finish!"

Kai patted himself on the face, his eyes flashed with passionate fighting spirit.

◎

"Anbu...Minister? Let me be in charge?"

In the office, Kakashi reconfirmed Hizan's statement, seeming a little unbelievable.

It has been almost eight years since he joined Anbu. He was already a member of Anbu when the Fourth Hokage was in power.

And served as the monitor of the team at a very fast speed.

Later, after the third generation of Hokage regained power, he was the first person to become the captain of the new generation of Anbu.

The speed of promotion is second only to Uchiha Itachi who defected to Konoha before.

However, the sub-captain and the Anbu minister are two completely different concepts.

Because the power in the hands of Minister Anbu is so great that it can replace Hokage to a certain extent and completely control the organization Anbu.

There are not only 70 people in Anbu, but 70 people are only responsible for actual operations. If you count the number of trainers and logistics management, the number will be even larger.

It can be said that the position of Anbu Minister is not inferior to the position of Jonin Squad Leader.

It is even closer to the privileged class than the ninja squad leader.

There is no doubt that this is a position that has already entered the core of Konoha.

It is precisely because of this that during the reign of the Three Hokages, the position of Minister Anbu has always been on the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan who were born in the Three Hokages, so that Anbu will maintain absolute loyalty to the Three Hokages.

Once there is a problem of loyalty in Anbu, the consequences will be dire.

Because of this, Kakashi couldn't believe it.

"Long and Purlin sacrificed. In the Anbu, only you can provoke the Anbu. Don't reject this proposal, Kakashi."

If Takashi Sarutobi and Purinko Sarutobi hadn't died on the battlefield of the Land of Wind, Hirazan would naturally not have replaced the Minister of Anbu at this time.

But the fact is so cruel, his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law have already died on the battlefield, and Anbu cannot be leaderless.

In addition, I am also planning to hand over the position of the next Hokage to Tsunade, and I can carry out the handover of Hokage only when Jiraiya is fully prepared.

In this way, Minister Anbu will naturally no longer be able to choose Jonin from the Sarutobi clan.

Kakashi is a sharp blade he left for Tsunade.

Internally and externally, it can form a deterrent force.

When Tsunade is in power, he can quickly grasp the power of Anbu, so that there will be no mistakes in policy implementation.

Kakashi sighed at Hirizan's solemn request, and had no choice but to nod, and said with a wry smile: "I see, Hokage-sama, although my ability cannot compare with Minister Takashi, but since Hokage-sama trusts me so much, I I will also try my best to do a good job as the Minister of Anbu.”

Rather than actively accepting it, Kakashi at this moment seems to have passively accepted the position of Minister Anbu.

He didn't know Hirazan's reason for giving him the position of high-ranking Anbu Minister, but if he could use this position to completely enter the core of Konoha, then his long-term efforts would not be in vain.

"I won't say much about guidance, Kakashi, you have been working in Anbu for nearly ten years, and you have already been handy with various businesses in Anbu. There is one more thing that needs you to do. This is your This is my first mission after serving as Minister of the Anbu.”

Ri Zhan's expression became serious.

"Please speak, Hokage-sama."

Kakashi immediately entered the Anbu minister mode.

The change of identity also means that one's 'goal' is getting closer and closer.

"Because of the extermination of the Uchiha clan, the security system in the village is now paralyzed, as you know. Now I plan to re-establish a security department, merge it into the Anbu system, and hand it over to you for management."

Hizan stared into Kakashi's eyes and said.

Surprises seemed to come more than Kakashi imagined.

If the security force is also merged into the Anbu and managed together, then the position of Minister of Anbu will have even greater power.

This means that Kakashi can arbitrarily place his own people in the four Anbu divisions, as well as the next guard department.

"yes."

Kakashi answered solemnly.

"I've asked Lu Jiu to handle the manpower of the new security team. When the time comes, I will hand it over to you to review and discuss with Lu Jiu. After all the personnel pass the test, just report to me."

It's not that Hirizhan doesn't want to review it himself, but he got the news that Danzo seems to be secretly plotting some taboo plan, which seems to be related to the tailed beast Chakra.

Hirizhan needs to prevent Danzo's small actions. These things can only be managed by Kakashi, and he only needs to perform the final verification.

It just happened to be able to check whether Kakashi is qualified as the new head of Anbu.

If you are not qualified, you can only let someone else do it.

This position not only considers strength, but also the ability to manage and coordinate subordinates, which is not an easy job.

Kakashi nodded, understanding.

"By the way, now that you have been promoted, the original position of captain of the second division will be vacant. Let Tianzang take it."

Hirizhan remembered something and said to Kakashi.

"Tianzang? I know."

Kakashi was very clear about the reason why Hirazan did this.

Although the Minister of Anbu was given to him, he did not fully delegate power to Anbu.

Tianzang is an Anbe jonin who is loyal to Hokage, and the captains of the other teams are similar.

If he thinks that he can do whatever he wants in the Anbu when he becomes the head of the Anbu, and he will be the head of the Anbu in a few days.

It seems that we can't completely relax our vigilance. Kakashi thought to himself.

It's right to think about it, the power will be even greater if it is merged into the Anbu of the security force. If the head of the Anbu is really allowed to dominate the Anbu, no matter who uses it, he will not feel at ease, and some restrictions will definitely be added to the Anbu.

However, as long as he can honestly do his job well, then Hokage will just turn a blind eye and not interfere.

For Kakashi, the power to choose people to join the Anbu and the Guards is the biggest gain.

As long as he has these two powers, he can easily completely paralyze the system of Konoha and the security team, making Konoha's Anbu and the security team do nothing for half a year.

The so-called development time is squeezed out bit by bit.

"Is there anything else you want to order, Hokage-sama?"

Kakashi asked.

"There is one more thing, it's about Sasuke Uchiha."

After thinking for a while, Hirizan still mentioned Sasuke's question to Kakashi.

"Uchiha Sasuke? The only survivor of the Uchiha genocide? What happened to him?"

Kakashi asked suspiciously.

There was a little embarrassment on Hirizhan's face, and he said to Kakashi: "It's not that he had any accidents, but according to what he said, a stone tablet located under the meeting room of the main hall of Nanga Shrine is missing. That stone tablet, For the Uchiha clan, it seems to be a very important thing. He came to me before and wanted to find the whereabouts of the stele. Well... this matter, let Anbu investigate it for the time being, and you are responsible for handling it. "

"I see. I'll take care of this."

The stele under the meeting room of the main hall of Nanhe Shrine?

That thing may have been carried away when the envoys from the Demon Kingdom came to visit Konoha.

But Sasuke Uchiha definitely didn't know about this.

The visit to Konoha by the envoys from the Oni Land was actually carried out secretly, and it was not publicized in the village, and only a few people knew about it.

This is also because the upper echelon did not want to cause unnecessary trouble in the village, so it was arranged in this way.

People who knew about this incident were also ordered not to publicize it.

After completing the negotiations, the envoys from the Demon Country also left Konoha immediately. Generally speaking, there were no unexpected conflicts, and the senior management in the village breathed a sigh of relief.

But it may not be so easy to solve the follow-up problems.

For example, the stele mentioned by Ri Zhan has been taken to the kingdom of ghosts, how to investigate this matter?

Even if the investigation is clear, they probably won't come back at all.

Anyway, it is impossible for Konoha to send someone to the Kingdom of Ghosts to get that stele back.

Since the stone tablet was also brought back to the country of ghosts, it means that for the Uchiha clan, the meaning of that stone tablet is not ordinary.

Undoubtedly, it would be extremely difficult to get the stele back from the Ghost Country.

Therefore, the underlying meaning Hirizhan wants to express is already very clear, just find a reason that can convince Uchiha Sasuke, and just confuse this matter.

Kakashi scratched his head, it seems that he has no time to rest and read recently.

◎

Mt. Miaogi.

A sacred place ruled by toads.

Toads can be seen everywhere here, whether they are palm-sized toads or toads as big as hills, you can find them all.

If you are a newcomer, you may be surprised by such a scene, but for Jiraiya, every plant and tree here is very friendly.

"Boss Fukasaku."

Jilai also saw Immortal Fukasaku clasping his hands by the pond from a distance, practicing celestial arts, so he walked over quickly and called him.

The voice of Ziraiya's call came from next to his ears, and Immortal Fukasaku recovered from his practice and opened his eyes, as if he was not surprised by Jiraiya's arrival:

"As expected, you are here, little Zilai."

"really?"

Jiraiya was also a little puzzled by Fukasaku Sage's reaction.

Moreover, he didn't seem surprised that he came back intact.

Immortal Fukasaku nodded and replied: "Yes, I was forced to teleport back to Mount Miaomu that day, and the child's mother and I were very worried about your safety, but the elder suddenly called us over and said that we should not worry too much. Because this time You will survive the catastrophe without any risk, and then return to Konoha safely. It seems that the master's prediction is very accurate, and you are fine."

"Has Immortal Toad already known?"

Zilai also heard this, his face was startled. .

Even though he can look down upon most of the ninjas in the ninja world after he has learned half-baked celestial arts, he is still in awe of the big toad sage who can peek into fate.

The Great Toad Immortal predicted that he would survive the catastrophe this time without any danger, he was surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed reasonable and not worth making a fuss about.

"Don't mention that, when you return to Mount Miaomu this time, apart from visiting us, you also want to ask the elder about something?"

It was as if Sensei Fukasaku had seen through Jiraiya's mind.

Zilai also nodded without concealing it, he came to Miaomu Mountain at this time, and he did have some questions he wanted to ask Immortal Toad.

He is now deeply worried about the possible bad situation in the ninja world in the future.

He hoped to get some clues from the Great Toad Immortal, so that in the face of possible future crises, he could take precautions in advance to avoid greater casualties.

"I knew you would do this. The enemy you fought that day was really terrifying. Especially the boy with white hair and a strange red gun..."

Immortal Fukasaku remembered something at this moment, and said with lingering fear.

"How to say?"

Zilai also asked in doubt.

"Do you still remember that during the battle that day, the child's mother was only stabbed by that gun, and then your fairy mode lifted it?"

Immortal Fukasaku suggested.

"That's right, I remember that. What's wrong with that gun? Boss Fukasaku, do you know something?"

Ji Lai also turned serious.

It was precisely because Immortal Shima was accidentally stabbed by that strangely colored red gun that day~www.wuxiamtl.com~ that caused his immortal mode to be released unexpectedly.

It also laid the groundwork for his subsequent defeat.

He still doesn't know how the gun broke his immortal mode.

If you can't figure out the secret of that gun, then even if you use the fairy mode next time, it will still be cracked.

In other words, if the secret of that gun is cracked, there may be a possibility of turning defeat into victory next time.

"I don't really understand the specifics. I can only say that that gun is very dangerous for ninjas. Even us as immortals, it would be very troublesome to be stabbed. Anyway, Ziraiya, you and I'll know as soon as I come."

After Fukasaku Immortal finished speaking, he jumped up in front of him, leading Jiraiya the way.

Jiraiya followed the steps of Fukasaku Sage with a feeling of uneasiness.
