Escape From Konoha

As the dark iron door opened, a masked man in an Anbu ninja outfit walked in.

He stopped in front of the old man with a gloomy expression, bowed slightly to salute.

"Master Danzo."

Danzo, who was meditating with his eyes closed, immediately opened his eyes when he heard the call.

Starting from the old body, only the eyes are still shining in the darkness, shining a cold and indifferent light, like sharp knives.

"explain."

"The bag is missing. In addition... the information in the reference room of the headquarters, including the computer that stores the data, has all disappeared."

The root ninja lowered his body and reported the incident to Danzo, his tone full of dissatisfaction with Anbu.

Instead of Genbu, it’s nothing more than to control Genbu’s headquarters base. As a result, Anbu also caused all the precious materials in Genbu’s headquarters to be stolen.

Therefore, he tried his best to suppress the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart, but he still couldn't restrain it all after all.

After Danzang heard the news, his face moved slightly, and he frowned slightly.

"Did Orochimaru make it again?"

If Dou was not captured by Genbu, then he is fully capable of taking advantage of the gap period when Genbu was replaced by Anbu, and through his past understanding of Genbu headquarters base, sneaked in quietly and stole the research materials there.

Dou not only has this motive, but also has this excellent sneaking ability.

"Nine out of ten."

Root Ninja replied.

"Tell me all about the situation at the scene, and don't let go of a single detail."

After Danzo paused, his voice was low.

"yes."

Although the root ninja was puzzled, he still explained Danzo in detail.

About ten minutes later, Genbu Ninja finished explaining the details of the stolen reference room, and the more Danzo listened, the deeper his brows frowned.

"You mean... the bookshelf division list and the duty roster posted on the wall are gone?"

"Yes."

"Why do you want to take that kind of thing away?"

"..."

The root ninja was speechless, and he also wanted to know the reason for doing so.

But he is not a pocket, how could he know what the other party is thinking.

It's just that the current evidence points to the other side.

It was Orochimaru who entrapped Root to this point. Dou received orders from Orochimaru to take advantage of this opportunity to steal the research results of Root.

"Dou is also a senior researcher. In that case, taking away the most valuable things as quickly as possible is the best option."

"Danzo-sama, what do you mean..."

The complexion under the ninja mask of Genbu changed slightly, and Danzo's implication was heard.

"Go to investigate the scene again, don't let go of any suspicious places, and then take photos and bring them here. The possibility of deliberately disturbing the line of sight cannot be ruled out, but if there are hidden black hands in the dark..."

Danzo's already gloomy face became even gloomy.

If there is a hidden black hand in the dark, does that mean that there are deeper reasons behind the downfall of the roots?

Kakashi "resurrected from the dead", and then Sasuke Uchiha learned the truth about the extermination of the Uchiha clan. According to eyewitnesses, the two had a short-lived appearance on the border of the northern land of the country of fire, and then disappeared.

Although the ultimate goal is rightly directed to Orochimaru, even Konoha's decision-makers have inferred this most reliable guess...

But what if it was all secretly misguided?

If this is the case, one of Kakashi and Sasuke must have...or both have a big problem.

So, does Orochimaru understand this?

Is it knowing everything, but for a certain purpose, willing to be the blade in the hands of others? Or are you ignorant, simply being blinded by others and putting yourself in a dangerous situation?

"Master Danzo, I'll send someone to investigate right now!"

Root ninja nodded heavily, and was about to leave when Danzo's voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"Wait, has Tsunade returned to the village?"

"Master Tsunade? She hasn't returned yet, but it's coming soon."

"Then Chiba Shiraishi appeared in the Iron Country before?"

"Yes, this is what Kaze and Togen and the rest of the members saw with their own eyes. But I heard that the other party has left the Iron Country and is missing. Before he left, Tsunade-sama suddenly made the decision to return to the village Decide."

The root ninja answered truthfully.

Danzo's face was strange, changing his gloomy and terrifying expression indefinitely.

"Master Danzo?"

Perhaps Danzo's expression was too frightening at the moment, and the root ninja standing here asked in a low voice, trying to lower his breathing as much as possible.

"It's nothing, you go down, let Feng and Qugen come to see me immediately after they come back."

"yes."

The Root Ninja left as if granted amnesty.

"Chiba Shiraishi... Tsunade..."

Danzo, who was sitting on a chair, chewed on these two names carefully, thoughtfully.

There are many doubts, but those things, to say they are doubts, are too far-fetched.

After all, from the beginning to the end, in this chess game, it was only him and Orochimaru, and there was no third chess player.

But if there is really a third-party chess player, then, compared to him who suffered heavy losses, and Orochimaru who has more notoriety on his back, the third person is in a safe zone from the beginning to the end, without even showing his face .

This is not in line with common sense.

To be a chess player, there must be pieces on the board.

In this chess game, there are not many important pieces that can affect the winner or loser of the chess player.

Of course, all these speculations are based on the real existence of third-party chess players.

Evidence is also needed, and more evidence is needed to verify one's conjecture and make one's hypothesis tenable.

"Tsunate... Let's start investigating from her. If there really is a third-party chess player..."

Danzo's expression became serious.

If the conjecture is true, Konoha's situation will become extremely dangerous.

This danger is likely to exceed any previous crisis.

"Tsunade...will you bring Konoha a new life...or will you destroy it?"

If you bring the latter, even if you are Hokage, the old man will have to do it himself... Danzo's eyes flashed a terrifying murderous intent.

This failure made him completely understand.

Darkness that approaches light will be burned.

Darkness is his home.

Only darkness can calm his heart and let him experience an unprecedented sense of security.

As long as you are in the dark, it seems that you can do anything.

It is precisely because he is the incarnation of darkness, calculating people's hearts in the darkness all year round, that's why he has such a keen sense of smell for certain things.

This sense of oppression that the wind and rain are about to come and the wind is full of the building made Danzo smell the extremely familiar atmosphere of the past——

war!

◎

"You still look the same as before, Tsunade."

When Tsunade entered the conference room of the Hokage Building, he heard an old and familiar voice.

Unsurprisingly, the person who spoke was Zhuanju Xiaochun, and the one standing next to her was Mitomonyan.

"In short, the return of the spirit can be regarded as letting go of a big stone in our hearts."

Mito Menyan also said that Lu looked nostalgic.

"I thought you were expecting me not to come back."

Tsunade, who came here in a hurry as soon as he returned to Konoha, also complained a little to the two of them.

Then, she scanned the meeting room again, as if looking for something.

"What are you looking for?"

Turning to bed Xiaochun asked curiously.

She knew that Tsunade was a restless guy since she was a child, not only because of her special status, but also because of her status as a woman, she often didn't like to reason.

Especially Girls' Generation, who can be said to be the village bully that no one in the village dares to mess with.

Even Danzo didn't want to provoke her, because it was too troublesome to take care of her, and he couldn't say anything to her yet.

Therefore, she was relieved about Tsunade's return, but on a certain level, she also had some concerns.

She was considering whether Tsunade's return would affect their power as advisors.

"No, I just feel that this place is much more empty. In the past, there were four people here, but now there are only two of you left."

Tsunade sighed like nostalgia, but also like disappointment.

As if at a loss, why didn't something happen to these two old things.

Instead, it was the two most capable people who had an accident, one died in the line of duty and the other stayed in prison.

As a result, only two consultants survived.

"We are safe and sound, and I am really sorry."

Mito Menyan sighed, he was about to be run out as soon as he came back, and the days after that seemed to be tough, and he didn't know that there were still a few more good years to live.

"It's good to know."

Tsunade sat down politely.

Immediately afterwards, Zilai also walked in from the outside, holding Jing Yin, the pink pig, and followed up.

"Both, I have brought Tsunade back safely. Next, it's time to hold the succession ceremony of the Fifth Hokage."

Jiraiya's implication is that this matter should be finalized quickly, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

"Of course, Lu Jiu has already started to deal with this matter. At that time, people from other countries will also come to watch the ceremony. We need this Hokage succession ceremony to stabilize people's hearts."

In the previous Hokage Succession Ceremony of Danzo, only officials from the Daming Mansion of the Land of Fire, as well as officials from the Land of Sand and the Land of Wind were invited as allies.

But the situation is different now. All countries must have received the news of Danzo's resignation, and severely ridiculed Konoha.

Now Konoha urgently needs Tsunade to save face and inspire people again.

"That's really huge. Then, what about the specific visitors? You shouldn't even invite people from the ghost country, right?"

Zilai also said this, and his words were a bit dissatisfied.

Turning to bed Xiaochun said indifferently: "Yes, although the relationship between the Kingdom of Ghosts and our Kingdom of Konoha and Fire is not good, it is now one of the big countries. This is an inevitable result. And if you invite other countries, let them alone If it is lost, the other party will inevitably make troubles for no reason in diplomacy, and it will appear that we Konoha have no tolerance."

"Although I don't know why you, Jiraiya, have such a big prejudice against the kingdom of ghosts in a big country, but in the current situation, we have to seriously consider the other party's attitude. At this time, don't be a childish temper."

Mitomon also spoke.

If you want to say dissatisfaction, everyone here is almost hostile to the kingdom of ghosts.

But no matter how bad the relationship is, since the opponent is also a member of a big country, he is eligible to join the game. Even if you are dissatisfied, you need to be patient.

"Don't make me sound like a kid."

"Your behavior is often no different from that of a child. That's why Tsunade is Hokage."

Turning to bed Xiaochun said bluntly.

"Tch, something like Hokage is exhausting, even if it was given to me, I wouldn't want to be it."

Zilai also refuted it like this.

But no one wants to let you do it. That was the voice of not only the two advisors, but the rest of the room as well.

After arguing with Jiraiya, Tsunade asked directly: "So, when will the succession ceremony start?"

"Two days later, if you feel rushed, you can do it in three days."

Now that Tsunade has returned, there is no need to rush some things.

Moreover, they also need to arrange the scene in advance, and they cannot rush like Danzo.

If something unexpected happens during the Hokage Succession Ceremony, some will cry.

"Then three days later, I just need to get acquainted with the current environment of the village."

Tsunade stretched her waist, running all the way, she is also a little tired now.

Using familiarity with the village environment as an excuse to call the old department in advance. Turning to bed Koharu and Mito Menyan saw through Tsunade's mind, but there was nothing they could do.

Once Tsunade is in power, he is not a powerless Hokage.

She was born in the war years, but she is quite popular Jonin.

In particular, she used her medical ninjutsu to rescue countless Konoha ninjas.

Most ninjas of a certain age have directly received her favor.

In addition, the current ninjas in the medical department are either Tsunade's past subordinates, or students she once taught in the ninja school, or close colleagues... There are also multiple prominent identities such as the granddaughter of the first generation of Hokage, and the disciples of the third generation of Hokage...

It can be said that as long as Tsunade serves as Hokage, except for the areas under the jurisdiction of the ninja, he can immediately exercise real power control over many departments of Konoha, rather than in name only.

In addition, the relationship between the Inoka Butterfly clan and Tsunade seems to be very close, or the Senju clan in the past.

As long as Tsunade is willing to expand his network and meet the elders of the Inokacho clan... on the side of the ninja clan, there will be no problems.

Most importantly, Tsunade's own ability and strength are also indispensable to Konoha.

For such a person, becoming Hokage is what everyone expects.

It is precisely because of this that, on the one hand, Koharu and Mitomenyan feel relieved, but on the other hand, they also have real worries.

Not only Hirazan who is Hokage, but even the protective umbrella of Danzo has stepped down directly. So, is there any room for consultants to intervene in Konoha's decision-making layer?

The final possibility is that as long as Tsunade does not make a big mistake of principle, the high-level meeting can be said to be her one word, and the power even surpasses the three generations of Hokage who have been in power in Konoha for decades.

"Also, about the Anbu... I will re-select the elite backbone of the village to join in the future. I dare not say that this department is rotten, but more than half of the people need to be replaced. Moreover, the manpower of the Anbu needs to be expanded. You should have no objections, right? ?”

Hokage's orders can reach every corner of the village, and Anbu's power is absolutely indispensable.

It is not only the guard of Hokage, but also the representative organization of Hokage's power.

"We have no objection to replacing some of the personnel, but continue to expand the Anbu's manpower, isn't this..."

Turning to sleep, Xiaochun looked hesitant.

The stronger the power of Anbu, the greater the power of Hokage, and the easier it is to centralize power.

"The funds injected into Ninja Village by the Daming Mansion are increasing every year, and there is a surplus. I think these funds should be spent wisely. And Anbe is the most powerful blade in the village!"

Tsunade's eyes were determined, as if he was not discussing with the two consultants.

"But…"

"Not only that, Konoha has undergone several rounds of military expansion over the years, and the total number of ninjas has reached 20,000... To manage such a large number of ninjas, it is necessary to expand the manpower of Anbu. On the basis of four teams On the other hand, add the fifth and sixth divisions—twenty-four team members, eight squad leaders, and two division leaders, which means an increase of thirty-four people.”

"..."

Two teams... Is this not intended to keep the consultant alive?

Turning to bed, Koharu and Mito Menyan suddenly felt that it was not a good decision to let Tsunade be the Fifth Hokage.

"In this case, those ninjas may have opinions."

"About this matter, I will organize a meeting tomorrow night and personally explain it to their patriarch."

"This...don't be so anxious, right?"

Turning to bed Xiaochun was a little flustered.

Generally speaking, shouldn't these matters be negotiated slowly after the successor Hokage?

"It's too late, Jiraiya also explained the current situation of the village to me. I think that all these things should be dealt with as soon as possible before succeeding Hokage, and then I can immediately put into work. Not only that, because Danzang was eliminated, the village There is also a need to add a senior elder, at the same level as the advisor."

"No! There are only three days left until the Hokage succession ceremony, and three days to deal with these things is not enough time!"

Turning to bed Xiaochun directly refused.

"Okay then, do as you say."

Tsunade nodded in agreement.

Let Zhuanju Koharu and Mito Menyan be astonished.

I saw Tsunade stand up from his seat, and shouted silently to him in astonishment: "Mute, let's go."

"Go? Where are you going, Tsunade-sama?"

"Of course I leave Konoha, I'm not the Hokage, let them play here by themselves."

Tsunade's words made everyone present dumbfounded.

"Wait, Tsunade, three days is indeed a bit rushed..."

However, no matter how Koharu and Mitomon Yan persuaded, Tsunade walked unswervingly towards the door of the conference room.

This time, the two panicked even more.

Because the consequences of Tsunade's mishandling of Hokage are more terrifying than her controlling too much real power. Those junin who rioted can definitely kill them

"Well, what we actually mean is that this aspect is not impossible, but we need to discuss it carefully. Let's sit down and discuss it slowly... For example, how do you want to talk to those patriarchs?"

In the end, the two consultants had no choice but to admit defeat with a wry smile.

What is this?

Being a Hokage is too shameless.

◎

"This is Mount Miaomu, right? It's quite hidden..."

Baishi stood in a deep mountain area covered by thick fog, and the visibility of human naked eyes here was very low.

Moreover, the air is humid and there are many swamps. In the deep mountains, there are towering huge ancient trees, covering the sky and the sun, and the bark of many ancient trees has begun to crack.

There are also a large number of insect snakes, which are larger than ordinary people's understanding of insect snakes.

To put it simply, these worms can even be used as psychic beasts of ninjas in the outside world.

But in this holy land that belongs to toads, it is nothing more than food raised by toads.

It seems that any road can lead to the deep mountains of Mt. Miaomu, and come to the kingdom of the toad - the village of the toad.

But from the information given by the live slug, the thick fog surrounding Mt. Miaomu has the effect of illusion, and the level of the technique is very high. Even a ninja with considerable strength will get lost in it if he stays here for a long time , I do not know the way back.

For this reason, Mt. Myogi is also called the Lost Mountain.

It is not difficult for Shiraishi to find the real way to Toad Village in the depths of Miaomu Mountain in this foggy area.

He has practiced fairy art, and his resistance to illusion is extremely high. In addition, there is also a shadow dancer, a yin avatar, who can help Baishi break the illusion at any time.

It is very difficult to interfere with his chakra.

Therefore, Shiraishi can see through the path that seems very complicated in the eyes of others.

"With such a wide range of spells, there should be 'anchor points' around to maintain the existence of the spell."

Although by destroying the anchor point, the influence of the fog on oneself can be reduced, but in doing so, it means that Miaomushan will be alerted.

His purpose is to spy on information, not to directly fight Mt. Miaomu.

The shadow attached to the ground passes through the surrounding forest without sound.

Relying his body on the shadow dancer's shadow, in this state, Shiraishi can't attack outside, but likewise, outsiders can't attack him and the shadow dancer.

The 'world' inside and outside the shadow is completely isolated.

After all, if he turned into a solid body and moved forward, the densely packed toads here would definitely expose his whereabouts.

However, there are mostly shadow areas in the mountains and forests, so you can use this to move forward and avoid the toad's sight.

After moving like this for about an hour, I finally reached the deep area of ​​Mt. Miaomu.

At the entrance to the deep area, there are two huge stone toads, and around the toad's body, a white rope similar to shrine shimenawa is wound.

From these shimenawa, Shiraishi felt extremely strong senjutsu chakra fluctuations.

Enchantment.

Mostly it's the barrier of perception.

Once inside the enchantment, it will be perceived by the enchantment.

And it is the shimenawa ropes on these stone toads that cast the barrier and maintain the operation of the barrier.

Just as Shiraishi was thinking about how to sneak in, there was a loud rumbling noise on the ground.

A huge shadow shrouded it, it was a huge reddish-brown toad like a mountain, and the dense bumps protruding from its back were like small rocky mountains burning with raging flames.

Judging from the size, the size of this toad has surpassed that of the tailed beast.

Although there is no way to compare it with the size of a live slug, it is undoubtedly a huge creature beyond common sense.

And the body of this giant toad contains extremely huge chakra.

It stretched out its forelimbs, firmly grasped the huge rock in the forest and the huge python wrapped around the rock, then stuffed it into its mouth, and swallowed it into its stomach with a grunt.

Like a gatekeeper, guarding the entrance of the enchantment.

The breath of Chakra is very familiar. It seems that I have fought in its belly in the battlefield of the Land of Winds a few years ago~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Is it the giant toad from Mt. Miaomu? Shiraishi thought of the identity of this giant toad.

——The Miaomushan Yansu giant toad, a giant creature that is rumored to be able to capture giant beasts for food.

Its esophagus has the power to digest everything, and judging from its exaggerated size, its destructive power must be astonishing.

A tailed beast that does not use tailed beast jade may not be able to overwhelm this giant beast in terms of strength. Kyuubi has reservations.

Is this Mt. Myogi? If Liuli knew the situation here, she would be very excited, saying that she finally had an opponent worthy of a try. Bai Shi smiled inwardly.

However, although the Yansu giant toad gave people a strong sense of oppression, Baishi had no fear in his eyes, but was full of interest, and had the idea of ​​wanting to dissect the Yansu giant toad.

Then, Shiraishi ignored the giant toad guarding the gate, and ordered the shadow dancer to hide his shadow in the shade of a tree, and slowly moved towards the toad wrapped around the shimenawa rope.
