Escape From Konoha

The atmosphere in the village was much depressed with the naked eye.

When leaving the hospital and returning to the commercial street, Sakura lamented how hard it is for ninjas to live.

All of this is caused by this war.

Only from the observation of a large number of wounded and patients transported back from the front line in the hospital, I also know how crazy the so-called war is.

At least in her observations, among the wounded brought back, there are already a few serving ninjas who need to have their limbs amputated in order to save their own lives. But in that case, disabled ninjas will face the risk of unemployment. Although there will be compensation in the village, the quality of life in the future will definitely not be good, and they need to live in poverty.

After all, the economy of the country of fire has not been very prosperous in recent years, and many market shares have been seized by the country of ghosts.

The defeat in this war will also affect the economic balance between countries, and the fiscal revenue of the Fire Nation will be even worse.

Sakura didn't pay attention to this issue in the past, but the situation is different now. With the rise of her qualifications, as a medical ninja rookie and a student of Hokage, it is very difficult for her not to understand these things.

When passing by the branch of the pharmacy opened by the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association, the store that was supposed to be closed has reopened at some point.

There are also more ninjas patrolling here.

Probably to ensure the smooth opening of the pharmacy here.

At the beginning of the war, all the businesses of the Ghost Country Chamber of Commerce in Konoha were blocked, and the staff were also detained, but as time went by, these personnel returned to their old jobs in Konoha like nothing had happened.

I believe that if the higher-ups don't send ninjas here to protect them, then another part of the ninjas who lost their lovers, relatives, and friends in the war will probably directly use violence to clash with the Chamber of Commerce personnel in the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Considering the actual situation, the reopening of the Chamber of Commerce's stores, in Sakura's view, is also an act of following the general trend.

The loser has no right to refute.

Thinking of this, Sakura was a little upset, but she entered the pharmacy honestly.

Over the years, the medicines produced by the ghost country have become more and more useful.

The chamber of commerce research institution under the government of the ghost country has never been stingy in funding drug research. Not only the quantity and quality, but also the varieties are more complete than the medicines produced by Konoha.

In addition, there are also ninja shop, all kinds of new ninjas are rapidly crowding out Konoha's ninja market. The ninja shop that caused Konoha to sell traditional ninja tools is getting more and more difficult.

For example, when she met Tiantian, the other party’s house opened a ninja shop. Due to the lack of supply of new ninja tools, the response in the market seemed to be fading.

Entering the pharmacy, what Xiao Sakura saw was the exquisite counter decoration, and the glass was filled with medicines.

There are some that Sakura has never seen before, whether they are drugs for ordinary people or for ninjas, they have everything that one expects to find.

As a medical ninja, he doesn't really need healing medicine.

Sakura just bought a bag of new Bingliang pills, and there were ten new Bingliang pills in the bag.

The effect is to address fatigue and hunger, and focus on faster recovery of the chakra used by ninjas.

What Sakura values ​​is the effect of recovering Chakra faster, and the ability of ninjas is inseparable from the energy of Chakra. At critical moments, this kind of Bingliang Pill is a life-saving treasure.

"see you next time."

The sales lady was dressed in a trendy dress, with a professional smile on her face. From a sensory point of view, people couldn't find any faults.

Sakura thought, if it were the ninjas who died in the war, what they might feel would be a naked ridicule, and maybe there would be a big scene here. Then the management of Konoha will come forward to compensate the chamber of commerce in the ghost country and imprison the troublesome ninja to resolve this conflict.

Sakura nodded slightly, put the bought bag of Bingliang Pills in the ninja bag, and walked out of the pharmacy.

Leaving the pharmacy, Sakura considered whether to go home for lunch, or find a random place for lunch.

The medical work in the morning has been completed, and in the afternoon, I will go to the practice field to practice strange power.

Due to the large number of wounded in the hospital, the accumulated medical experience has been rich enough, but it is not particularly necessary to focus on accumulating medical experience.

Sakura remembered what Tsunade said to her in the past, an excellent medical ninja is built on the basis of countless dead.

For medical ninjas, medical ninjutsu is important, but equally important is experience.

And experience, accumulating in war is the fastest!

Thinking of this, Sakura didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, and her mood was extremely complicated.

Just as she continued to walk forward, she suddenly found a familiar figure.

"Left well?"

Sakura called out the name of the boy who was hiding next to the telephone pole, slightly surprised.

Zuo Jing, who was hiding there, also turned his head slightly, showing his usual smile.

"It's Sakura, good afternoon."

"Are you waiting for me here? I remember that there are no missions these days."

"No, my words, because..."

Zuo Jing tilted his head, and his gaze swept to a smear of yellow not far away.

"Naruto?"

Sakura looked surprised.

"Naruto has been back from Mt. Myogi for several days, don't you know?"

Zuo Jing asked strangely.

"No, I'm basically busy in the hospital these days, or I'm practicing, and I don't know about it at all."

Sakura shook her head, expressing that she didn't know about Naruto's return.

"Really? Naruto came back from Mt. Miaomu, and Captain Yamato is not here. So, it is natural for me to complete the job of keeping an eye on him now."

Lefty said so.

"Even so, this is a village, so there's no need to stare at it to this extent, right?"

Sakura said helplessly.

"No, the conflicts between countries are becoming more and more intense now. Under such circumstances, Naruto, who is a human being, will be more likely to be targeted. Even in the village, we cannot relax our vigilance. .in addition…"

"in addition?"

Sakura tilted her head.

"Mt. Miaomu is gone."

Zuo Jing said expressionlessly.

"?"

Sakura immediately opened her eyes wide and stayed where she was.

Mt. Miaomu is gone?

"I also learned about it from Danzo-sama, and it hasn't been spread yet."

"What's going on here? How could Mount Miaomu..."

Sakura asked hastily.

She, who signed a contract with Wetbone Forest, also knows the mystery and power of these psychic beasts, how could she just say no?

She was busy with medical work and cultivation these days, so she didn't know these things at all.

"The war with the kingdom of ghosts this time will not only affect the human world, but also usher in a new pattern in the world of psychic beasts. The original balance of the Three Holy Lands has also been broken, and it is the kingdom of ghosts that broke this balance. .”

Zuo Jing continued, his tone was quite calm, as if the destruction of Mt. Miaomu was nothing more than an unimportant matter to him.

"You mean to say that Mount Miaomu was..."

Sakura's hole was full of shock.

Zuoi stared into Sakura's eyes and nodded heavily.

"The kingdom of ghosts and another sacred place, Longdi Cave, reached a cooperation and wiped out Mount Miaomu. The leader of Mt. There are only a handful of toads left... In short, the name of the holy place of Mount Miaomu has been removed."

"Naruto must be very sad right now."

Sakura said so.

The mood is also a little low.

Zuo Jing did not comment on this, and what happened to Miao Mushan was not within the scope of his mission. His mission was to guard Naruto.

"Then let's go over and cheer him up."

Sakura suggested.

After speaking, without waiting for Zuoi's response, he walked towards Naruto.

The place Naruto was going to was Yile Ramen Shop. Before he entered, he heard Naruto's angry and childish voice: "Slap Uncle, a big bowl of Mizeng Char Siew Ramen!"

"It's Naruto, it's been a long time. Wait a minute, a big bowl of Mizen Char Siu Ramen will be here soon!"

Yile's slapping uncle responded, feeling quite good.

"I ran towards Ichiraku Ramen as soon as I came back. It really looks like your style, Naruto."

"Um?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Naruto turned his head and glanced, and saw Xiao Sakura opened the curtain and walked in, and immediately showed joy.

"Sakura, why are you here?"

"You still talk about me, I've been back for a few days, why don't you come over and let me know."

Sakura's tone was slightly reproachful.

"Ah, that, I have something to do in the past few days, so I forgot for a while."

Naruto scratched his head in embarrassment.

"I'll forgive you this time."

"Thank you very much. But..." Naruto glanced at Sakura's figure, and said with a smile: "I always feel that you, Sakura, are becoming more and more feminine after the Chinese New Year."

Sakura glanced at Naruto in disgust.

The guy was as unfocused as ever.

"Compared to me, Hinata looks more feminine."

Sakura said so.

Especially every time I go to the hot springs with Hinata, the whole person will become extremely autistic.

Not only her, but even Ino feels autistic.

"Is that so..." Naruto thought about it seriously, compared the figures of Hinata and Sakura, and said without thinking: "Indeed, Sakura, your breasts..."

boom!

"ah!"

With a scream, his fist landed on Naruto's head without hesitation, and a big bag bulged.

"I'm sorry, I slipped my hand just now, I can't help it. Are you okay, Naruto?"

Sakura smiled innocently.

"...Don't keep hitting me on the head, Sakura."

Naruto complained.

"It's not that you are outspoken."

Sakura sat down.

At this moment, the door curtain was lifted again, and Zuo Jing walked in from the outside.

"Good afternoon, both of you."

He was smiling, as if he had just arrived.

Sakura was a little speechless, but she didn't expose it.

"It's you, Zuo Jing, the good mood of the day after seeing you is gone."

Seeing the smile on Zuo Jing's face, Naruto told the truth.

"It's a teammate anyway, can't you be kinder?"

Seeing Naruto confronting Zuoi again, Sakura smiled wryly.

"I'm really not very good at communicating with people."

Zuo Jing smiled without hiding it.

"I just don't like the fake smile on your face."

Naruto said so.

Zuo Jing smiled and said nothing, did not answer.

"So, now that you're back, what are you going to do next?"

Sakura didn't mention Mt. Miaogi, for fear that it would bring back bad memories in Naruto's heart.

Naruto thought for a while and replied: "The next step is of course to continue to practice. I have already begun to learn the magic of immortality. I want to master the application of immortality faster and work hard to become stronger."

When he said this, the hippie smile on Naruto's face had disappeared, and the expression on the side of his face was extremely firm.

"Yeah?"

Sakura lowered her head and sighed.

"Let it go, Sakura, Zuosuke and Kakashi-sensei, I will bring them back. Definitely!"

Naruto thought that Sakura was troubled by Zuosuke and Kakashi, and immediately comforted him.

"No, no need, actually think about it carefully, Zuozhu and Kakashi-sensei, it is impossible to come back. Naruto, you'd better not indulge in such things too much, otherwise you will only be the one who is sad."

Sakura forced a smile on her face, and seriously warned Naruto.

"Sakura..."

"Come here, I'm leaving first. If you have anything to help, you can come to me at any time."

After speaking, Sakura stood up and left the Yile Ramen Shop.

"Did I say something bad?"

Seeing Sakura leaving in a hurry, Naruto blinked in doubt.

"I think Sakura just doesn't want you to bear so many things alone. Recently, she is also working hard to become stronger in her practice, and she wants to become someone who can be relied on."

Zuoi looked at the direction where Sakura left, and said from the side.

He was a little envious of this kind of friendship.

"I don't understand at all."

Naruto sat in his seat thinking, and didn't turn his attention until the ramen came.

◎

night.

Haruno's house is a standard two-story residential house, plus a small yard surrounded by walls.

In the residential streets of Muye Village, where every inch of land is expensive, they can be regarded as a family with a small fortune.

The bedrooms of father Haruno Zhao and mother Haruno Mebuki are on the first floor, and Sakura's bedroom is on the second floor, with a study next to it, and a room that was originally a warehouse, but she converted it into a simple research room.

At this time, she was in the research room on the second floor, sitting on the chair in front of the writing desk. There were various books and scrolls on the table, recording the content related to medical ninjutsu and sealing technique.

In addition, there are tools such as paper, pen, scissors, and chakra paper cut into the shape of talisman paper.

Under the desk lamp, Sakura alone ate knowledge related to healing and sealing techniques, and she made a semi-finished 'medical talisman', which she randomly placed on the table without having time to clean it up.

It wasn't until the alarm rang that it was two o'clock in the morning that Sakura came back to her senses, unknowingly, it was so late.

She had to arrive at the hospital before eight o'clock in the morning, and there was not much time left for her to sleep.

It was pitch black outside, the windows were whining, and the wind was bitterly cold.

Sakura yawned.

"Come here today."

As she spoke, she put down the tools in her hand, turned off the desk lamp, and walked skillfully in the dark. She was just about to turn on the corridor lights when she went outside, but found that the corner of the stairs was already illuminated by lights.

The lights on the first floor were turned on.

Borrowing the dim light, Sakura curiously walked towards the turning of the stairs and walked towards the first floor.

Stopping at the landings on the first and second floors, one could hear whispers coming from the living room on the first floor.

But because the voice was too low, Sakura couldn't hear what the people in the living room were talking about.

"Is anyone here?"

Sakura came out and asked her parents standing in the living room.

"Sakura, sorry to bother you?"

Haruno Zhao turned his head and saw Sakura walking down the stairs, and smiled apologetically.

"No, that's not true."

Sakura glanced at the person talking to her parents at the door.

She was covered in a black overcoat and had a mask on her face, so she couldn't see her original appearance.

It was windy and snowy outside, and the other party dressed like this, probably to avoid blowing and snowing outside.

"This guest is..."

"It's a customer of the barbecue restaurant. I have something to discuss."

"It's really hard to run here at night."

Sakura thought it was strange, but she didn't ask any more questions. Maybe there was something urgent and she had to come here now.

After pouring herself a cup of hot water, Sakura went upstairs.

◎

Missing personnel, generally speaking, it is not the turn of Hokage to handle this kind of matter in person.

If such a small matter needs to be handled by her, Hokage, even if Hokage is given forty-eight hours a day, it is not enough to handle official duties.

Therefore, if the matter is not too serious, this kind of matter will basically be handled by the security forces, and manpower will be dispatched there to find the missing persons.

However, the disappearance this time was no small matter, and the security forces did not dare to make their own claims at all, so they could only be handed over to Hokage to handle it personally.

This caused Tsunade a headache. Originally, the affairs of the medical department were enough to bother her. Although Asami Masumi's investigation work has made some progress, it is impossible to say that she has conclusive evidence to prove that Yui is an insider. of. If the wrong person is wronged in the end, Konoha will not only lose an excellent medical ninja, but also let the real ghost go free.

However... one wave of unrest followed another. This time, the incident of missing persons was transferred from the security department to Anbu, and then from Anbu to her, Hokage.

The first disappearance was five days ago.

The family's surname is Tang Tian, ​​a family of five.

The head of the family is Dota Nakin in the village. Except for Dota Nakin's wife, the other three are the children of the Dota couple, two sons and one daughter. All three children are in the ninja school and have not yet graduated from school.

And Dotanaka Shinobi is a teacher of Ninja School, responsible for the practical courses of Class B of the fourth grade and Class C of the fifth grade.

Twenty-eight years old this year, married when he was seventeen, his wife is one year younger than him, two sons are ten years old, and daughter is eight years old.

Tsunade visited the ninja school, and the impression of this famous Tanaka Shinobi is that he is an honest person who is also very responsible for the education of the students. Generally speaking, he is an excellent teacher.

Don Tanaka Shinobu's wife opened a breakfast shop in the village. Judging from the information provided by the neighbors, the husband and wife have a harmonious relationship and there is no quarrel.

It is a very happy and ordinary family of five.

However, on an ordinary morning five days ago, Dotanaka Shinobu reported to the security department that his wife and three children had all disappeared overnight.

The security force who received this case immediately dispatched personnel to search for traces of the Dotanaka Shinobi family.

On that day, Dota Nakashi also asked the school for a day off to join the search mission of the security force.

As a result, after searching for a long time, there was no trace of Dotanaka's family.

Not only that, at two o'clock in the afternoon that day, Dota Zhongren also mysteriously disappeared from the village.

Let the search personnel of the police force not know what to do.

However, based on the rules of the garrison, additional manpower was dispatched to search the village, and even invited ninjas from the Hyuga clan to assist in the investigation, but the missing Dota Nakin was not found, and his family also found nothing.

It wasn't until the next day that another person came to report.

But this time it was not the family members who disappeared, but the Takizawa Chunin in the village, and it was Takizawa Chunin's family who reported the case.

Although it is strange that there have been missing cases for two consecutive days, in principle, the security force continued to send search teams to carry out investigations.

Immediately during the search process, Takizawa Chunin's family members also disappeared one after another, and their whereabouts disappeared, which made the guards feel that something was wrong.

On the fourth day, the case of disappearance resumed. And it was two missing cases that happened together.

Another two families, all missing.

No matter how slow the people in the security force are, they still know about this series of disappearances, and the inside story behind the scenes is very complicated.

In view of this, the security force submitted this case to Hokage's desk, and Hokage's direct subordinate Anbu began a more thorough investigation.

At this moment, Tsunade was also frowning as he looked at the report submitted by the security forces. Although he had a headache, he still read the report patiently.

From the perspective of interpersonal communication, there is basically no connection between the missing persons.

If there is contact, it is only a work arrangement.

In the family of Dotian Zhongren, the family members disappeared first, followed by himself.

Takizawa Chunin himself disappeared first, and then his family members disappeared.

The two cases of disappearance on the fourth day were even more complicated. In the home of the missing person, traces of fighting were found, in addition to blood.

But no body was found, and all the members disappeared.

After testing by the medical ninja in the hospital, the blood left by the battle was indeed from the missing Zhongnin.

It can be seen that when they disappeared, they had a fierce battle with the enemy.

Seeing this messy report with no regularity at all, Tsunade felt dizzy for a while.

Just when she was thinking hard, the door of the office was pushed open.

Tianzang walked in from the outside.

"What's the matter? Is there any new progress in the investigation at the hospital?"

Tsunade asked without raising his hand.

Tianzang shook his head and said, "No, Master Hokage, it's from the security forces... well, another case of disappearance was found there. The missing person is Shinobu Ushima, and in Shinobu Ushima's bedroom, We found traces of a fierce battle, and many bloodstains."

Tsunade raised his hand, and what he saw was Tianzang's same helpless expression.

Apparently he was also dizzy by this series of disappearances~www.wuxiamtl.com~.

"Ninja Ushima?"

Among the missing persons in the past few times, the highest level was the Chunin, but now even the Jōnin has an accident?

There was a trace of irritability in Tsunade's heart.

The disappearance of a Jōnin without a sound is no small matter.

"Yes."

"I'll go and see for myself."

Tsunade put away the investigation report on the desktop.

So far, more than 20 people have disappeared from the village, including several Chunin and one Jōnin... This is not a trivial matter that can be taken lightly.

If the situation is allowed to develop, sooner or later it will cause panic in the village. Before that serious situation comes, it must be contained.
