Escape From Konoha

Late November.

The weather is much colder than usual. It feels like a direct transition from the hot summer to the late autumn season, and it is about to enter the winter.

It has been a while since I became a rebel and left the village.

The ghost shark was just a rough count, and calculated that in the days since he left Wuyin Village, he was chased and killed by Wuyin troops, a total of six times.

The chasing troops of Wuyin Village are like a soul-eating messenger who came to the world in hell, and their ghosts linger behind him.

Whether it is a hot summer or a rainstorm, with the winter coming soon, the ghost sharks believe that these guys are still looking for their traces, wanting to take their heads and persevering.

Thanks to these guys, the difficulty of his work in the underground black market has increased a lot again.

Usually, it is not only necessary to take into account the business of the underground black market, but also to take into account the chasing troops who are looking for him, so as not to encounter an ambush.

These guys don't know too many things, and they won't show mercy to him.

Avoid as much as you can, this is what Yakura told him.

At the same time, after leaving, he was also given a lot of cards to save his life, which he could use when his life was in danger. Including the Kingdom of Ghosts, in order to finance his future path of rebellion, it also gave him a lot of novel things, which is convenient for future information transmission and self-protection.

However, the ghost shark still found it troublesome.

Even though I knew that the chasing troops persevered in chasing and killing themselves, in order to make this spy scene 100% close to the truth, making it impossible for people to suspect.

"Mr. Gui Sha, there is no problem with the target. This is your reward this time. After deducting the cost of purchasing intelligence, there is a total of seven million taels of bounty. Please check."

The underground money exchange office built under the dry well is an important facility for the underground black market to undertake work.

The staff inside checked the goal of the ghost shark hunting mission, nodded earnestly, took out the pre-prepared reward, a black suitcase full of seven million taels of banknotes, and respectfully handed it to the ghost shark.

"There is no need to check, I want to buy new information."

The ghost shark took the black box and said.

"Please speak."

The staff maintain a respectful and serious working attitude.

Regardless of strength, any bounty hunter is a respected customer of their underground black market.

It is their most basic professional ethics to regard every customer as the **** in their hearts.

Precisely because this is a disorderly place outside the law, it is more necessary to use a kind of 'rules' to limit it, otherwise this place will not become the most extensive gray platform in the ninja world.

"I need a piece of information about Wuyin's chasing troops, can I get it?"

The ghost shark asked with a grin.

It is impossible to pass the route of Yakura, so that the chasing troops stop the pursuit, otherwise this scene cannot be played in real.

But it is also an option to avoid the chasing troops of Wuyin Village through another road.

The staff knows the difficulty of ghost sharks. In fact, defected ninjas who join the underground black market and work as bounty hunters have more or less such problems.

"This kind of thing is very difficult to do. The village of Wuyin has a huge force, and the chasing troop is a ninja organization directly under the water shadow. What we got is only some scattered information, which may not be of much use to Mr. Ghost Shark."

The staff did not deceive the ghost shark.

If it is a small Ninja village, they can get a lot of information by using some means.

However, the Ninja Village of the Great Ninth, especially an important institution such as Anbu, does not disclose it to the outside world at all, and only belongs to the ninja with the identity of Five Shadows.

If the underground black market can get this part of the detailed information, then the underground black market can really cover the sky with one hand.

The fact is that in the face of the ninja villages of the five major countries, the underground black market is at an absolute disadvantage.

It exists because it is an intricate gray platform.

It is specially designed to allow wealthy businessmen or high-ranking officials in the ninja world who do not wish to disclose their names and identities to deal with things that are inconvenient for them to deal with.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can provide me with their whereabouts, there will be no problem."

The ghost shark also knows that this kind of thing is a bit difficult for the underground black market platform. The Wuyin Village chasing and killing troops are the hidden troops directly under the water shadow. Their detailed information is definitely not available to outsiders.

"Understood, we will let people pay more attention to this information and provide you with assistance, Mr. Ghost."

The staff nodded in agreement.

As for what effect he can achieve, he can't guarantee it, he can only do his best.

Hearing that the staff agreed, the ghost shark nodded and left the place with the reward.

The space filled with the rotten smell of corpses all year round is really unbearable for normal people.

Even though the side was treated with some spices to lighten the smell, the ghost shark was very sensitive to smells and still smelled an unpleasant odor.

After leaving the money exchange, the ghost shark set off along the path.

The ghost shark has long been accustomed to sleeping in the open air.

This is also often done when performing tasks in the past.

Surviving in the wild is one of the essential life skills for ninjas.

When passing an open space, the ghost shark saw that the environment was quite secretive, and the terrain was favorable for him to escape. Even if he was attacked by the enemy, he could use the surrounding environment to cover himself, making it easier to retreat.

So, the ghost shark plans to spend the night here tonight, just one night for the time being, and look for a town residence tomorrow.

At the same time as the fire was being lit, there was a slight movement in the trees not far away, and the ghost shark couldn't help but look up and saw a familiar half-yin and half-yang face.

A strange character who calls himself 'Absolute'.

The true face is the intelligence personnel who serve an organization, divided into black and white.

These days, the frequency of this guy looking for himself is almost higher than that of Kiriyin's chasing troops.

"It's you again, didn't I say it? I have no interest in joining the organization or anything. Don't bother me again."

The tone of the ghost shark was impatient, and the intention to send people away was very obvious.

"Don't be so cold, we came here with sincerity."

It was Bai Jue who spoke.

In many cases, Hei Jue is the taciturn one, but that's what makes him dangerous.

"Then you should also know that it is impossible for me to join the second organization. A ninja like me who betrays his boss one after another will not end well."

The ghost shark said so pessimistically, quite self-deprecating.

The so-called character creation is the talent trained in the spy training in the country of ghosts.

A hypothetical personality is cultivated for targeted purposes, and can be switched at any time and entered into a state.

In order to complete this training, I took a lot of hardships to master it in the military espionage agency in the country of ghosts.

"Indeed, I first betrayed my boss, Suikashan Puffer Ghost, and then I betrayed Mizukage's trust, becoming a notorious S-class traitor... If I don't report to the group to keep warm, I'll probably really die in the fog. Chase those in the hands of the troops."

The one who speaks is black.

His words have always been straight to the point, as if he can see through people's hearts, and Bai Jue's hip-hop smile is completely two extremes.

Nothing else could be seen on that completely dark face.

"Your intelligence-gathering ability is really amazing. You can investigate such a hidden matter."

The ghost shark looked at each other deeply.

"The organization does not recruit mediocre talents. All the ninjas who join in are ninjas with special skills. Of course, you also have this ability. I heard that you can merge with your own ninja sword and transform into a tailless beast. It's the power that the organization lacks."

"You guys really know a lot. But still, I'm no longer interested in joining an organization or something like that. Can you let me be quiet for a while?"

Said the ghost.

"Are you going to live so boringly? What's your motive for defecting to the village?"

Black Jue asked.

"It's none of your business."

The expression of the ghost shark was a little stiff, and he was a little angry, as if he was touched by something.

"You, who are homeless, are already alone. But alone, in this cruel world, it is difficult to survive. Since Wuyin Village cannot accommodate your existence, you might as well try a new identity and survive. Find the meaning of your life in this world.”

"The meaning of life? The more you say it, the more outrageous it is. Is there really such a thing in the world of ninjas?"

The ghost shark sneered like this, seeming to be very disdainful.

"Yes, our organization is determined to bring peace to the world. For this reason, we have entangled a group of powerful partners, but we still lack sufficient combat power. Your participation is essential."

Hei Juetu was poor and revealed more information.

He knew that meaningless conversations alone could not impress Gui Shark's heart.

The other party betrayed his boss twice in a row, and before leaving Wuyin Village, he also assassinated the Daimyo of the Land of Water. It can be said to be the most vicious betrayal in the history of Wuyin Village.

The ghost shark is in the confusion of life at the moment. In the face of this kind of dazed ninja who has lost the goal of life, he can only guide him from other places.

And such a ninja who lost his way in the ninja world, Hei Jue has too much knowledge.

Rather, ninjas have this kind of virtue.

"Hmph, world peace... such a childish game."

"Anyway, you are wandering aimlessly like this, and you don't have any goals, right? You may get more fun from it. How about it, do you want to join in and try it out? If you don't like it, you can volunteer in the future. get away."

Black Jue said persuasively.

The ghost shark fell silent, did not answer the question, and seemed to be seriously thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.

Black never pushes too hard.

Like the S-class betrayal wandering in the ninja world, everyone is arrogant.

For example, when he recruited Orochimaru, it took a lot of effort to let him join.

These guys, none of whom are easy to get along with, are a group of dangerous beings.

If you want to gather this group of dangerous rebels together, there is no absolute power to suppress it, it is completely unworkable.

But Hei Jue is extremely confident in Nagato's strength. He has integrated Samsara and inherited all Madara's legacy. It can be said that he is the strongest ninja in the ninja world today, and it is not an exaggeration.

In a one-on-one battle, absolutely no one can defeat Nagato.

Black never doubted this.

Therefore, recruiting such dangerous rebels and ninjas can also make them obedient, thanks to Nagato's suppression above.

Farewell to the ghost shark, Hei Jue could already see the hesitation and struggle in the other party's heart.

Next, you just need to test a lot. Sooner or later, the other party will let go and join the organization.

Orochimaru alone cannot complete the capture of the tailed beast.

Moreover, the military power of the five major countries is too strong, and they need to destroy their alliances. This is also imperative. Cooperation with Konoha's Danzo is one of the plans.

As long as they can find an opportunity to weaken the power of the ninjas of the five kingdoms, they are absolutely happy to do some sabotage within them.

"Can this really attract him? He still seems to be reluctant, and there is little hope."

Bai Jue said.

The purpose of the two of them these days is to recruit ghost sharks into the organization.

As for Danzo, although they are also staring, but after all, the action has not officially started, and there is no need to stare at it all the time.

And Nagato believes that further cooperation with Danzo has not found a suitable opportunity.

Although Danzo and the three generations of Hokage are used to be hostile to prevent Konoha from recovering his strength as soon as possible and make him fall into a bad internal friction environment, the overall interests of Danzo are still in favor of Konoha.

They also maintain a high degree of vigilance for these foreigners.

If it goes too deep, it will backfire and cause Danzo to stop cooperating with them.

There is not so much trouble in recruiting ghost sharks.

The other party is a betrayal in the ninja world, and the connection with the past ninja village is completely cut off, which can be said to be a visible benefit.

The only problem is that the other party does not enter the oil and salt. It has been followed up for more than a month, and the other party still has no sign of letting go.

"Isn't it already said? Guys like him who leave the village are most likely to get confused in the outside world and lose their life goals. For humans, goals are very important things."

Black absolutely seems to have a deep understanding of this aspect.

In his view, human beings are boring creatures that lose their goals and fall into confusion.

At this time, it is also the easiest time to confuse them.

Their hearts will become extremely fragile at this time.

He had seen such a human being before.

In every era, there is no shortage of such ninjas.

A life of fear in confusion, not knowing what the meaning of life is.

"It's always a troublesome statement."

"It's up to me to lead the operation, you only need to be responsible for providing information. Next, keep an eye on him. I have already disclosed some information about the organization in the previous solicitation operation, and he is now in a kind of frustration, reflecting on The meaning of our own life. Soon we will be able to close the net."

Black must be so confident.

"Really? What about the chasing troops in Wuyin Village? Do you want to monitor them together?"

"Well, pay attention to their traces. The ghost shark is a bit reluctant to face a huge force like Shinobi Village alone."

"I see, I hope this will end soon. I'm more concerned about Konoha's side."

Bai Jue giggled.

"Ah, of course. For the organization, another pair of kaleidoscope writing wheel eyes is needed. Whether it is to catch the tailed beast, or for the more difficult Uchiha Ruri, these are an indispensable pair of eyes. "

Black never refuted Bai Jue's point of view.

Personally, he also paid a lot of attention to Konoha.

"I'm really looking forward to it, the battle between Sharonan and Sharonyan. You can't miss such a scene at that time."

Bai Jue still smiled heartlessly.

"Just don't forget about the business, let's go, and then report to Nagato-sama about the current work progress. Leave other Bai Jue and pay attention to the movements of the fog. I don't want to hear that one day, the ghost shark was caught in the fog. The unfortunate news of the death of the hidden pursuit troops."

"Don't worry, he is also one of the seven members of the Ninja Swordsman. He should be able to hold on for a while."

Soon, the two were in the woods, blending into the big tree, hiding their breath, as if they didn't exist.

◎

The land of ghosts, the shrine.

"Then, let's say goodbye."

The man sitting in the center of the hall stood up, bowed slightly to a being behind the curtain, and exited the hall.

In front of the cushion on which the man sat, there was an unopened letter.

A witch stepped forward, picked up the letter from the floor, then walked up the steps and presented the letter.

"Lord Ziyuan."

A pair of immature hands stretched out from the other side of the gauze curtain and took the letter handed by the witch.

"Go down."

"Yes."

The witch bowed slightly and stepped back.

The peace and tranquility of the past was restored in the hall, and there was no noise at all.

The girl sitting upright on the cushion looked about five or six years old.

His long hair tends to be pale yellow, tied with a white headband, and he is wearing a milky white witch costume that fits perfectly. His eyes are filled with mysterious purple light, as if he can see through everything, giving people an inexplicable feeling of heart palpitations.

It was Shion, the new shrine maiden in the land of ghosts.

As the only witch in the main line of the country of ghosts, this has been the case in all dynasties.

It can be said that he is the most honorable person in the country of ghosts. In the country of ghosts, because of his special identity, he has supreme power.

She picked up the letter left by the man just now. The other party was from the Land of Netherworld, a small country that was very similar to the Land of Ghosts in terms of cultural customs.

In ancient times, it was also the hardest hit area by monsters.

Because of the country of ghosts, I have survived many difficulties.

Ziyuan picked up the letter and opened it, glanced at it, and then said softly:

"As you guessed, my father."

After she finished saying this, a young man who looked to be in his twenties walked out from behind the screen.

He has been hiding there since just now.

This man is Shiraishi.

As the adoptive father of the witch Shion, the current main line of the country of ghosts, he also holds a considerable part of the power in the country of ghosts.

"I have expected this kind of thing. So, what is their daimyo's request?"

Shiraishi asked.

It is not so simple for the Netherland to merge into the Ghost Country.

The country of ghosts is essentially a country without a daimyo. If the kingdom of seclusion is to be merged into the kingdom of ghosts, it is impossible to retain the system of daimyo, and this system must be abolished.

Although the witch is equal to the daimyo in a sense, in the eyes of others, it is just a different title.

However, in Shiraishi's view, there are essential differences between the witches of the land of ghosts and the daimyo of various countries in the ninja world.

Because the daimyo can be replaced, but the witch cannot be replaced.

In addition, the witches of all dynasties did not seem to be particularly interested in power, and basically adopted a laissez-faire attitude. As long as they did not touch the bottom line, the witches would not interfere with many and let them grow freely.

And those nobles who ask for the witch will not come to the territory of the country of ghosts.

In this territory, if you offend the witch, it means losing the protection of the witch, which is very dangerous when monsters are in trouble.

As for leaving the country of ghosts, the Ninja world is now in a bad era with frequent wars, and the stability of the country of ghosts has attracted many people.

Based on various considerations, even if the witch does not have any actual power, every word she says can be said to be a manifestation of power.

"I hope to lose the position of the daimyo, still retain the status of their great nobles, and make financial compensation to them."

Shion roughly described the request in the letter.

This was not beyond Shiraishi's expectations.

The request is not insatiable, it is more reasonable.

It is reasonable to retain the status of a great noble.

Shiraishi is not very repelling the collective of nobles. This collective, no matter what era, is indelible, and it is nothing more than a distinction between high-profile and low-key.

After all, the reason why the economy of the country of ghosts is developing so rapidly now is also thanks to the accumulation of the Uchiha family.

In terms of military affairs, the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan, and the Uzumaki clan also made great contributions.

Compared to these ninjas who inherited the boundaries of blood, ordinary nobles are not much worthy of attention.

As for financial compensation, this rhetoric is a bit ambiguous.

"That is to say, it still needs some negotiation and compromise... Well, this is understandable. After all, a country is merged, and even a small country can bring huge benefits. If you don't make some compensation, it is true It doesn't make sense. It seems that the name of the country of Netherland wants to be a conservative, and only hopes that his family leader will be safe and sound for a long time."

Shiraishi nodded, seeing through the intention of the daimyo of the Netherland.

This kind of nobleman with self-knowledge is the type of nobleman Shiraishi prefers.

The reason why the other party made such a request was also based on the basic national conditions of the country of ghosts, so he considered it like this.

"For the next thing, I will send someone to the country of seclusion to negotiate with the name of the land of seclusion, and determine the scope of 'compensation'."

The country of snow, the country of serenity, and the country of bears are three important sections in the expansion plan.

Now the country of snow can be said to be in the hands, and the national power is also developing rapidly. The country of the bear is making arrangements, and it is only a matter of time.

As long as the Netherland is incorporated, it can be said that the expansion plan is foolproof.

"Then can I go out to play, Father?"

Shion's pupils were expecting.

"Have you finished your witch's homework? That's important to you, right?"

"It's too boring. Anyway, that kind of practice can't be completed in an instant. If it's too severe, it will really accelerate aging and turn into an old man ahead of time, my father."

Shion smiled and looked at Shiraishi.

"Okay. Just keep an eye on the time and you'll be fine."

A five- or six-year-old girl, when she is in the process of releasing her nature, will naturally find it boring to practice this kind of thing.

"Understood, I heard that Sister Xiaoxue's first movie will be officially shown in the near future. I'm really looking forward to it."

Shion's face shows a happy look~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Because Shiraishi is the bond, Shion and Kawaka Koyuki, who is the name of the Snow Country, know each other and get along very well.

The other party seems to be very enthusiastic about the film business, and can switch between daimyo and actors. He is not only a daimyo in the country of Snow who is loved by the people, but also a dedicated actor with excellent acting talent. To a balance, which Shion admires very much.

"It's up to you. Again, remember to complete the witch's homework, and don't always think about playing. Your existence is special to the land of ghosts."

Even so, Shion still didn't seem to care about such matters as cultivation.

Unlike Maitreya's quiet and steady temperament, Shion's character is somewhat lively, with a strong interest in novel things, unlike the quiet and obedient type, who advocates extreme personality.

That is, another problem child?

Shiraishi thought of this, and his expression suddenly became a lot of melancholy.
