Escape From Konoha

At the end of December, the weather was even colder, and it felt like winter was coming. Occasionally, light snow would fall on the road.

Most of the animals in the mountain forest have also begun to hibernate, and the traces of coming out and walking have decreased.

Standing on a huge tree stump, the ghost shark looked into the distance with its tiny eyes.

All the surrounding trees were flattened by some kind of sharp object, revealing the incomparably desolate mountain scenery.

The wind blowing from a distance is also mixed with an unbearable chill for ordinary people.

The ghost shark subconsciously touched the handle of the shark muscle behind him, then jumped off the stump and walked in a certain direction along the overgrown path.

The empty cave without the slightest warmth is the meeting place.

It is also the destination of the ghost shark's trip.

Thinking about it carefully, it has been several months since the betrayal fled from the village, and in these months, he was exhausted just dealing with the misty chasing troops that captured him behind him.

Coupled with the fact that he has to face a very talkative nasty ghost, the ghost shark's mood is even worse.

This **** is white.

He always came over to talk to him from time to time, and wanted him to join a mysterious organization, and he was more diligent than the Kirikin Chasing and Killing Troops to trouble him.

In view of this, the ghost sharks also made up their minds and began to contact the organization in their mouths.

After all, being invited on your own initiative is a completely different concept than taking the initiative to enter by yourself.

The former will not make others suspicious, and the latter has ulterior motives that can easily be seen through.

Therefore, the ghost shark also speculated that this organization must be understaffed.

The core members are too lacking.

If they gathered enough strength, they would not be so obsessed with themselves, eager to join in.

And Bai Jue's approach just proved this.

Consistent with the speculation made over there, next, just follow the plan. As the ghost shark looked at the dark entrance of the cave, he secretly said in his heart.

When I joined the cave, I found that the space inside was very large.

After entering, the ghost shark found that two people had already stepped up.

A slender, pale-skinned man with long black hair, with icy vertical pupils like snakes, and purple eye shadows beside the corners of his eyes, a snake crawled out of his cuffs, where he was fiddling with his fingers.

Beside him, there was a man with a hunched back, his face covered with a black scarf, his ugly eyebrows and forehead were exposed, and a fierce aura came to his face.

Both of them were wearing coats with red clouds on a black background and rings with different characters on their fingers, as if they were waiting for something.

Orochimaru.

Red Sand Scorpion.

When he saw these two people, the ghost shark's body tensed subconsciously and stopped walking forward.

Needless to say the latter, the former is one of Konoha Sannin, and it can be said that he is a household name.

Just in terms of reputation, Sannin is completely superior to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

And from Orochimaru, he felt a vague sense of danger, like being stared at by a cold snake, and his body reacted unnaturally with vigilance.

As mentioned in the information, this is the concentration camp for the rebellion and forbearance.

Can't be careless for a moment.

"Oh, are you new here? This is really a rare thing."

I thought it was just a simple party, but I didn't expect that a strange ninja would suddenly come.

This made Orochimaru raise his brows in surprise, and then chuckled, but the laughter gave people a bad feeling.

After hearing the words of Orochimaru, Scorpion also raised his head, looked at the ghost shark who came here, took a deep look and said:

"Is there a group of seven ninja swordsmen? It seems that a very interesting newcomer has come."

Then, he shut up, not having much desire to talk.

In terms of strength, it is tentatively recognized, but in terms of appearance, the other party is not suitable to be a 'puppet' in his hands.

too ugly.

It really can't exist as your own collection.

"That's it, this is our new companion who is about to join us."

The humanoid that Bai Jue and Hei Jue merged into one, drilled out from the ground, stood beside the ghost shark, and said to Orochimaru and Scorpion.

The one who speaks is black.

Then Bai Jue said with a smile: "Although it took a lot of effort, it finally succeeded."

"Really? I have no problem. After all, it is a good thing to be able to join a newcomer. Scorpion, what do you think?"

Orochimaru laughed and turned to look at Scorpion.

Scorpion snorted softly and said: "You can decide this kind of thing yourself, anyway, the weak will be eliminated soon."

"Scorpion, if you say that, it will make the ghost shark feel a lot of pressure. Well, you don't have to worry too much about the ghost shark. The members of the organization are still very friendly."

Bai Jue laughed heartlessly.

Are you friendly? The ghost shark was speechless at Bai Jue's evaluation.

The people here are all the famous S-class rebels on the ninja world list. If this is considered friendly, it is really an outrageous evaluation.

When the ghost shark was about to speak, rainbow-colored ripples suddenly appeared not far from them, and then the ripples became more and more violent, forming a human shape.

This rainbow-colored ripple appeared three times, and three other people joined in.

Different from Orochimaru and Scorpion, they obviously did not use the main body, but a ninjutsu similar to projection, projecting one of their clones here.

The new Sannin, two men and one woman.

Although it is only a projection, the ghost shark can still roughly see the appearance of these three people.

These three people are naturally Nagato, Konan, and Beiruhu.

They came here almost at the same moment using projection.

After Nagato came here, he first glanced at everyone, then set his eyes on the ghost shark, and said to him: "Welcome to join Akatsuki, the seven people of Nindao in Wuyin Village, dry persimmon ghost shark."

"Xiao? Is this the name of the organization?"

The ghost shark asked.

When Bai Jue and Hei Jue came to look for him, they did not disclose the specific name of the organization.

The name of the organization cannot be leaked at will, and is only useful to the core members of the organization.

In other words, external non-staff personnel may not even know the name of the organization is Akatsuki.

Ghost sharks can see that Akatsuki is very secretive, leaving Kiriyin aside, the rest of the big country Ninja Village knows nothing about this organization.

"Yes. Since you joined Akatsuki, you are a companion. Your business is also the organization's business."

Nagato said so.

"Don't get me wrong, I just came here to try it because I have nowhere else to go. If Akatsuki can really bring me more meaning, then let me look forward to it. Hope it's not too boring. Too boring If so, I don't want to be restricted by you."

The ghost shark snorted and seemed to remain pessimistic about the future.

"Don't worry, you won't be bored."

Nagato definitely said.

He had already learned from Hei Jue that Ghost Shark is a ninja who is extremely sensitive to the word "trust".

Because his experience of betraying his boss twice can be said to be a huge pain in his heart.

If you want the other party to convince Xiao, it seems that it will take a long process to run in.

"So, can you trust your strength?"

The one who suddenly interrupted the communication between the two was Beiluhu, who had been silent since he came here.

Hei Jue replied: "In terms of strength, we can guarantee that his ninjutsu characteristics are also very suitable for capturing tailed beasts and human pillars."

This is also where he values ​​ghost sharks.

That big sword, the shark muscle, has a good suppressing effect on the human column force and the tail beast.

Together with other members, you can easily capture the tailed beast.

Orochimaru raised the corners of his mouth, and his voice was a little gloomy: "I heard that the current fourth-generation Mizukage Yutachi Yakura in Wuyin Village is Wuyin's three-tailed human Zhuli, which seems to be the same as Yunyin's eight-tailed, able to perfectly control tailed beasts. . It is a powerful and perfect human pillar force."

He looked at the ghost shark with inquiring eyes, as if confirming the authenticity of the information.

The ghost shark hesitated for a moment, nodded, and recognized the authenticity of this information.

"The fourth generation is indeed a perfect man, and it can be said that he is the strongest ninja of Kirigakushi. Even my big sword, the shark muscle, can't limit him too much."

Ghosts tell the truth.

In the case of fighting alone, he is indeed not Yakura's opponent.

The most important thing is that the Anbu guards next to Yakura, as well as Ao, Terumi Mei, and the newly added prodigy Onito Mangetsu...

It can be said that it is difficult to get close to Yakura.

The Five Shadows are indeed powerful, but the Jōnin guards who protect them cannot be underestimated.

"No, you don't have to belittle yourself. This information alone is of high enough value."

Nagato said so.

Seemingly aware of the ghost shark's doubts, Hei Jue explained: "Forgot to explain, our organization's plan is divided into three stages. The second stage is to capture the tailed beast, the fourth generation of Mizukage Goji Tachibana Yagura of Wuyin Village. , will become our hunting target sooner or later. If possible, I hope you can provide the organization with more information about that water shadow."

Is this the so-called surrender? The ghost shark sneered in his heart.

Things are going to get to this point.

"After I leave, it is estimated that the person who will replace me as one of the fourth-generation guards is the ghost lamp full moon of the ghost lamp family."

"Estimated? Does that mean you're not sure?"

Orochimaru asked.

The ghost shark nodded and said helplessly: "Yes, it's just that the ghost lamp full moon is more likely to become the new guard of Yakura."

"After all, he is a genius ninja called a child prodigy, and Kirikin will not abandon such a person."

Scorpion also spoke.

The foggy ghost lamp full moon, a ninja called prodigy by foggy, can skillfully use seven ninja swords, including the big sword in the hands of the ghost shark, the shark muscle.

It can be said that he is one of the most famous genius ninjas of Kirigakushi's generation.

Such a talented young man, even they have heard of it.

Confirmed by the ghost shark, such a genius boy must not be a simple character.

"In other words, is it the same nature as Konoha's Hatake Kakashi?"

The one who uttered this sentence was Beiruhu.

Orochimaru frowned slightly when he heard Kakashi, but didn't say much.

"Besides the fourth generation, there is also a white-eyed ninja whose name is Qing."

"Blind eyes!?"

The information revealed by the ghost shark shocked everyone.

Nagato also widened his eyes.

Rolling eyes?

Isn't that Konoha's bloodline limit?

And because the Hyuga clan has strict control over the boundaries of blood, they have never heard of the news that the ninjas in other ninja villages have white eyes.

How is this going?

While everyone was thinking about it, the ghost shark said: "About ten years ago, the village of Kirikin implemented a plan to secretly capture the ninja of the Hinata clan. That plan was successful, and this is the reason why Kirigakura has white eyes."

Having said that, Nagato, Scorpion, and Konan looked at Orochimaru and Beiruhu.

The two of them used to be Konoha's ninjas, especially Orochimaru, who was a high-level ninja of Konoha. If there was an accident with the clan's ninja in the Hyuga family, then the two of them must know some news.

Beluhu raised his brows and replied, "I don't know about this. But I do vaguely remember that on a certain day more than ten years ago, Konoha did have a bad relationship with Kiriyin Village because of something. Orochimaru, do you know?"

Orochimaru nodded, sighed lightly and said: "Speaking of which, this incident will happen before Chiba Shiraishi and the other three defected. At that time, a clan ninja from the Hyuga clan went missing. Knowing how to leak his whereabouts, he mysteriously disappeared in the waters near the country of water. According to the investigation of Konoha Anbu, although no definite evidence has been obtained, it has been speculated that it was the work of the Kirigakushi ninja. Looking at it now, the high-level Konoha at that time The speculation is not wrong."

After being confirmed by Orochimaru, everyone has different thoughts.

No matter what, the fact that Wuyin Village has a white eye is a lot of trouble.

Hearing the ghost shark's explanation, this misty ninja with white eyes was still the guard beside Mizukage Yakura, which made it even more troublesome.

"It seems that it is really not easy to get close to this water shadow."

Bei Liuhu remembered something, and a shadow appeared in his eyes.

Rolling eyes... that was a very unpleasant memory.

"Yeah. And anyway, I've done my best to leak this information. So, if you want to deal with the fourth generation, I won't take action."

The ghost shark said in a self-deprecating tone.

"Hmph, even if you defected from the village, do you still have old feelings for the people in your hometown? This might become your biggest weakness and make you die."

Scorpion advised the ghost shark.

The ghost shark didn't say a word, and didn't seem to refute this.

"The purpose of calling everyone this time is to introduce new companions. In the days to come, please also get along well with each other. Beiliuhu, you don't have any teammates with you yet. Do you want to form a team with the ghost shark?"

Nagato asks Kiryuhu for his opinion.

Beluhu shook his head and said, "I stay in the research room all the year round and rarely go out. Even if I'm in the same group as me, it's of no use. He's not suitable for me."

After he finished speaking, his hands formed seals, and the rainbow-colored figure swayed in place, then melted and disappeared in the air.

Nagato stared for a while at the position where Kiryuhu had been staying, and then turned to look at the ghost shark.

"In this case, you can only be wronged for this period of time, and you are acting alone. In terms of intelligence, Bai Jue will share with you, which can allow you to avoid the pursuit of the fog hidden chasing troops."

"No problem. But, as a newcomer, I want to know more about the organization."

There was a kind of distrust between the lines of the ghost shark, and Nagato could feel it, so he nodded.

"It's not a good time to explain. However, when the purpose of the organization is achieved, your purpose will also be achieved."

"That's arrogant. I'll remember your words."

The ghost shark turned around and left without any hesitation.

Hei Jue and Bai Jue nodded at Nagato and left behind the ghost shark.

Asuka looked at everything in front of her curiously.

Different from the comfortable and relaxed atmosphere of the school, the expressions of the people passing by in the corridor looked serious.

They were all dressed in white work clothes and white coats outside, looking like they were in a hurry.

Arriving in front of a door, Bai Shi gently opened the door and smiled at Asuka who was following him, "Come in, Asuka."

"Yes, Dad."

Asuka nodded vigorously, followed behind Shiroishi, and entered the room.

The space in the room was larger than expected. As soon as he entered, Asuka widened his eyes and was shocked by the contents of the room.

This should be an incomparably huge underground workshop, from the floor to the decoration, it is all mechanized equipment.

In the center of the room, many technicians in white overalls were working hard there.

They carried out research work around a 'monster' wrapped in a steel-colored shell, which seemed to be some kind of tool that could carry people.

What is called a track is used instead of a wheel to drive, and many long-tube-like steel objects are loaded on it, and the interior is hollow.

The dark and faint void gives people a very terrifying sense of deterrence.

Although the structure is rough, even primitive, and looks extremely ugly, the technicians here have put a lot of effort into the design, thinking hard, and wanting to perfect this 'monster' machine.

In the eyes of all of them, there was something called obsession, and they looked at the steel monster seriously.

This kind of steel monster can make people feel the enthusiasm and firm will of the makers.

They all realized that once this kind of thing came out, it would definitely bring a completely different new style to the ninja world. These people can also be famous for the ages and recorded in the annals of history for future generations to look up to.

Shiraishi tilted his head and noticed Asuka's profile, his eyes were already shining, he was staring at the steel monster in the center of the workshop, just like when he encountered novel toys when he was a child, he also showed this expression at that time.

"Dad, is that also a 'toy'?"

The little boy pointed to the extremely hard steel monster and said.

It was completely different from all the toys he had ever played with.

No, I have never seen such a thing outside, but this kind of thing immediately attracted his eyes and mind, and was immersed in it.

"Do you like what's in it, Asuka?"

Shiraishi stroked Asuka's little head.

"Yes, I like it."

Asuka raised her head and solemnly nodded to Shiraishi.

He could see that the adults surrounding the steel toy were working with a very serious attitude.

They were so engrossed in their work that they were completely unaware that their research was being inspected not far away.

This kind of devotion to the spirit makes Asuka very touched.

These adults must be very serious about building the best 'toy' in their minds.

It's like finding your soulmate.

Looking at his son Asuka who looked slightly excited, Shiraishi nodded slightly.

Since he knew that Asuka's ninja talents are very limited, he consciously wanted Asuka to take another path.

There are many paths in this world, and it is not necessary to become a ninja to achieve success in the eyes of others.

In Shiraishi's view, being fond of his own career and ideals is also a great success.

The most important thing for a person is not how to live in the eyes of others compared to others, but to constantly break through himself and know what he needs in his heart.

In Shiraishi's view, Asuka has such qualities.

He will not change himself because of the opinions of others, maintain a pure heart, and find things that he finds interesting in this world.

Interest is one of the most difficult tasks to cultivate.

This is also the real reason why he brought flying birds here this year.

Kazuhime has found her own way, and Asuka needs to find her own way too.

And Aya will officially go to school next year, and it is still unclear what his talents are biased towards, but according to Shiraishi's own observations, Aya's ninja aptitude, although not as good as Ichiji's, is quite good.

"This is one of the most important R&D bases in our country of ghosts, mainly developing military and civilian equipment. If you want to be a member of this and develop your favorite 'toys', then you have to keep accumulating knowledge. It is only possible to hone your own hands-on creativity. This is also the reason why I let you polish your basic knowledge in the past two years. Chakra discipline is a very important discipline."

Many things in the ninja world are linked to chakra.

The researchers here may not be powerful ninjas, and they don't even know how to use ninjutsu, but their understanding of chakra and their ability to use them are not comparable to ordinary ninjas.

For scientists, Chakra knowledge is something that must be mastered.

Understand the structure of chakra and decipher its mysteries, not just think of chakra as a kind of energy unleashed by ninjutsu.

This insight is actually very one-sided.

For the scientific workers who seek to know the truth, understanding the structure of chakra and not simply sticking to the form of "surgery" is what they pursue.

It is a pity that such people do not receive special attention in the ninja world today, and there are not many people who support their research.

The ninjas pursue the power of 'jutsu' too much, and forget about chakra, which can bring more convenience.

This is what Shiraishi sees as a 'change'.

Chakra is a tool that can kill and benefit mankind.

Just like natural energy.

What is the difference between such a thing and what is used by humans.

"I'll do it, Dad."

Asuka responded earnestly. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

This was the first time Shiraishi saw Asuka respond so earnestly.

"Then look forward to your performance. As agreed two years ago, I will find you a teacher who can enlighten you in this area, but don't let the school's courses fall behind. Of course, the ninja exam can be given a little more time. Now, as long as you can pass the actual combat test."

Shiraishi took the initiative to lower Asuka's performance requirements in the ninja combat test, but he didn't want to lower the requirements too low, otherwise Liuli would have an opinion.

It's not that Asuka doesn't have the talent of a ninja at all, it's just that compared to those geniuses, he doesn't look so brilliant.

"Ok."

Bird nodded heavily.

"Okay, you can observe as you like here. However, you are not allowed to disturb the work of the employees here. Just observe from a distance. I will come and pick you up at night."

Shiraishi touched Asuka's head and left with a smile.
