Escape From Konoha

"Okay."

I don't know how long it took, Tian Zang, who was at the entrance of the secret passage in the bedroom, suddenly said something, and stepped on the sloping stairs first and stepped into the darkness.

Naruto and Zuoi looked at each other and followed Tianzang into the dark passage, down the stairs.

The stairway is not long, but since there are no lights in the dense road, the visibility is almost zero.

Even if a ninja walks in such a passage, it is difficult to move freely.

However, it seems that this situation was already expected. Tianzang took out a slap-sized flashlight from the ninja bag. Although the model was not large, the light it radiated was very bright. The secret passage, which was originally pitch-black and invisible, was instantly illuminated by lights, revealing the surrounding environment.

The floors, walls and ceilings of the secret passage are all carefully polished by hand, which is by no means small in terms of the amount of work.

Although he was shocked that there would be such a well-designed secret passage under the bed of the Haruno couple, but now is not the time to worry about these, Tianzang just wanted to find the missing three members of the Haruno family as soon as possible.

Judging from the current development situation, this may be the only clue, and it must not be lost.

"There are footprints on the ground, not only new, but also messy, not two or three people, at least fifteen people."

Zuojing crouched down at this time, and also took out a small flashlight, which illuminated the footprints on the ground, and touched it with his finger to express his opinion.

Naruto supported his knees, bent down slightly, looked at the messy footprints with a troubled face, tilted his head in confusion, wondering how Zuojing judged this information.

"Sure enough, as Hokage-sama said, the reason why Masumi Asami attacked Naruto was to create the illusion of attacking the nine tails, to lure us into being fooled, so that her accomplices would have time to evacuate safely."

Anbu's concentration of power is something that only happens under special circumstances.

For example, nineteen years ago, when Chiba Shiraishi and others defected, they used the Nine-Tails as a bait to attract all Konoha's high-end combat power, including Hokage, and most of Anbu's staff were also lured over to ensure the safety of the Nine-Tails. , which is a necessary measure.

In this way, the patrolling of the rest of Konoha will definitely decrease.

Asami Masumi cited this method, and although Tsunade saw through it halfway through, it did buy time for her accomplices to escape.

After all, it is very difficult to send so many people out of Konoha silently, and not too many each time.

It can be judged that Masumi Asami's accomplice passed through this secret passage and left Konoha more than an hour ago.

After confirming this, Tianzang and the others moved on.

In the dark passage, the concept of time becomes very vague, and it gives people an extremely uncomfortable feeling of depression.

In the secret passage, only the sound of footsteps of everyone running can be heard quietly.

Maybe a few kilometers ahead, Tianzang and the others suddenly stopped and looked ahead in surprise.

I saw that what was placed in front was not a passage, but two secret passages that branched off.

The secret passage on the left has footprints, and the secret passage on the right has no footprints.

Normally, it should be chased towards the secret passage on the left, while the secret passage on the right is likely to be a trap left for the enemy.

But this trap, the opposite can also be done. For example, the secret passage without footprints on the right is safe, while the footprints on the secret passage on the left are camouflaged traces, designed to make people take it lightly.

"Two secret paths, which one is the correct one?"

Naruto stood in front of the two secret passages, frowning in thought.

"It's also possible that both secret passages are traps."

Zuojing smiled.

"Eh?"

Naruto turned his head in astonishment and looked at the mysterious smile on Zuo Jing's face.

"In the past, when I was training at the root, I occasionally encountered this kind of trap that seemed to be a dead end. In fact, the real exit was hidden."

After speaking, Zuojing didn't talk nonsense, unfolded the scroll, and began to draw black snakes only half a meter long on it, and then gave them life with chakra.

"Go!"

Following Zuo Jing's order, the black snakes dispersed and charged into the two secret passages.

About a minute later, the black snake that rushed into the two secret passages did not cause any movement.

Just as Naruto was getting impatient, suddenly there was a loud bang—no, it should be said to be two loud bangs, but since it sounded at the same time, it sounded like only one loud bang.

The hot fire shone in the two secret passages, followed by the sound of stones hitting the ground, causing the ground to vibrate.

Not long after, the two secret passages were buried by broken stones, becoming a dead end.

"Look, it looks like the exit is hidden."

Zuojing put away the scroll, stood up and smiled at Naruto.

"I didn't expect you to be quite powerful, Zuo Jing, you can guess this."

Naruto praised.

If it was him, he might have stepped directly into the enemy's trap and was buried alive in the secret passage.

"This is just the basic ability of being a root ninja. During training in the past, I encountered more dangerous and despicable traps than this..."

Zuo Jing lowered his head, not knowing what he remembered, his voice was getting lower and lower, and his eyes were silent.

Ignoring the communication between Naruto and Zuoi, Tianzang instructed Anbu, who followed:

"Look around carefully, the hidden safety exit should be nearby, not too far."

◎

The bright moonlight shrouded the silver-like forest, and Masumi Asami, who was still wearing a Konoha Jōnin uniform and a white coat, moved fast in the snow-covered forest, leaving a white afterimage on the road, which was in harmony with the forest. snow of the same color.

The cold north wind blew across the border, and the temperature in the forest began to plummet, getting colder and colder.

What came out of Masumi Asami's mouth was white gas. While running, the white gas exhaled was like a meteor dragging backwards.

The round and black Tong Kong turned to the sides. Although the movement was very small, there was a strange Chakra approaching him, and there was no doubt that someone planned to attack.

Sure enough, just when she ran to an open space, a figure quickly flashed from behind the big tree and flew towards her as fast as lightning.

Without any hesitation, Masumi Asami quickly rotated her body, her black hair fluttered in the wind, and a half-moon-shaped blue blade radiated from her hand.

Blood splattered.

The Konoha ninja, who was cut through her chest by her chakra scalpel, just whimpered in pain and fell down.

And the blood spurting from his chest splashed onto her white coat and the lenses of her glasses on her face.

With a faint smile on her blood-stained face, she stood motionless on the spot, giving the impression that she was appreciating her own masterpiece.

Then, her body suddenly turned to the side, and the blade that came from behind pierced through her flying white coat without warning, but because of this, the flying white coat instantly blocked the attacker's vision, making him have a premonition Badly stared at the boy's hole.

puff!

The pain in the back of the neck made the attacking Konoha ninja instantly lose consciousness.

The chakra scalpel, which is as tough and sharp as a famous knife, lightly cut the back of the Konoha ninja's neck like cutting tofu, about half a foot deep.

One hit kill.

"Since you are chasing it, it means that you have come with the consciousness that you will die. I actually hate killing people, because every time I use a scalpel, I will make myself bloody, and it is very troublesome to take care of."

Masumi Asami looked down at the blood on her white coat, took off the blood-stained glasses, and wiped it clean with the handkerchief she took out of the white coat.

Wait until the blood on it is wiped off before putting it on the eyes again.

"It's nearby, Hokage-sama has an order, don't let her escape!"

Not far away, there was such a shout, the footsteps were very messy, and there were a lot of people.

Not only Anbu, but even the patrol troops patrolling the territory of the Fire Country outside Konoha Village were also activated by Tsunade, and they were going to arrest her back to Konoha for trial.

Glancing at the riotous place, Masumi Asami turned around and ran out quickly, disappearing into the open space.

If she is entangled by these guys, even she will feel very troublesome.

After all, she is just an ordinary medical ninja. If she is not careful, it is impossible to successfully escape from this dense encirclement.

"Everything that can be done has been done. I hope there will be no accidents over there."

She was referring to Haruno Zhao's route.

In order to make the last batch of people transfer safely, she did not hesitate to use herself as the last bait, attracting most of the firepower of Hokage and Anbu. If there is still an accident, she can only say regret.

As for guilt, of course there is no such feeling.

Strictly speaking, although she has a subordinate relationship with Shiraishi, this is only a formal relationship.

After all, whether it is Konoha or Chiba Shiraishi, she has no so-called sense of belonging.

Konoha ruined her life, and she has to witness the decline and even the destruction of this village with her own eyes.

Only in this way can the dark void in her heart be filled.

As for Chiba Shiraishi, she also couldn't trust her, and she and him were using each other.

It just happens that the other party and their own purpose coincide.

The other party used himself to obtain information on Konoha.

And he used the information sent out to take revenge on the village of Konoha and speed up its demise.

However, after that, you still need to go to the country of ghosts to complete the final transaction.

Before that, Konoha's pursuers must be thrown off.

There are more and more footsteps rushing in my ears, and they are in all directions, getting closer and closer to my position.

Although she possesses perceptual ninjutsu and can warn the enemy's location in advance, there must be perceptive ninjas in Konoha's patrol unit.

In this case, the two sides can be said to be fighting with clear cards.

"Here, grab her!"

With the help of Perception Ninjutsu, the location was quickly exposed.

Masumi Asami seemed to ignore the hurried and fierce shouts around her, and galloped faster, rushing into the darkness of the forest ahead.

Before she could advance too far, the kunai and shuriken that appeared above her head descended like a hail of bullets.

The number is extremely large, and under normal circumstances, such an attack cannot be evaded at all.

However, Masumi Asami's figure swayed slightly in an instant, leaving only a wisp of cool breeze, which quickly disappeared from there.

Secretly staring at the Konoha ninja there, staring at Tong Kong, he didn't see how the other party was moving, and disappeared from sight.

"How is it possible—uh!?"

The underside of his neck was cold, and the chakra scalpel, which smelled of disinfectant, slid silently across his neck. Before he could leave more words, bright red blood spurted out of his throat in an instant, and his whole body lost strength. Like a fall from the shady branches of the trees, it dyes the white snow of the forest red.

"hateful!"

Seeing that another person died, the Konoha ninja who came after him were very angry.

One of them quickly formed the seal and opened his mouth to Masumi Asami:

"Fire Escape - Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!"

The size is smaller than that of Hao Fireball Art, but there are a large number of group flames, and the speed is also quite fast. In the blink of an eye, it blocked all the positions that Masumi Asami can dodge, and the momentum is amazing.

However, beyond expectations, Masumi Asami smiled slightly at this, his figure flashed like the wind, and the figure rushed to extreme speed.

He smashed the attacking fireball with his body, and rushed to the Konoha Ninja who released the fire ninjutsu in the blink of an eye.

There were serious burn marks on the white coat, and the palm holding the chakra scalpel was also burnt by the flames, and the flesh was scorched, but she ignored it and waved the chakra scalpel from the bottom up, and waved the blue chakra scalpel. Beautiful radiance.

"Varied--"

I didn't expect the other party to do this at all, and the ninja who released the fire escape was too late to dodge.

The chakra scalpel ran along the ninja's abdomen to the chest, and finally even the flesh and bones of the lower jaw were quickly cut open.

His body was like blood pouring out from a sprinkler. After losing strength, he fell on the snow. The blood that kept flowing from the wound formed a pool of blood, staining the ground red.

"This guy!"

The ninjas on both sides were startled, it was really too tragic and strange for the death of the companion.

"That's why I don't like killing people. It's too troublesome to wash clothes."

There were more bloodstains on the white coat, and Masumi Asami pressed her forehead helplessly, looking like she had a terrible headache.

"Damn! Don't underestimate people!"

Directly regarded the other party's helpless words as a provocation, the Konoha ninja who surrounded him rushed up without giving the other party a chance to breathe.

Masumi Asami turned around and flashed, staggering with the figure of one of the Konoha ninjas.

In mid-air, until his chest was cut open and the blood spurted out in front of his eyes, the Konoha ninja didn't realize the pain, his chest was cut open, his ribs were cut off, but he didn't cry out, consciousness It was cut off from the body, fell from the air, rolled a few times and stopped, lying motionless on the snow.

Clang——

The chakra scalpel collided with a chakra-colored ninja knife, making a crisp metallic sound in the forest.

The energy that surged from the opposite side was far above him, Masumi Asami felt his arms go numb, and looked at the Konoha ninja who was fighting with him in surprise.

Wearing a ninja uniform of Jōnin, he has a sturdy physique, and the bulging muscles of his body are as hard as steel. The standard of the ninja sword is also different from the ordinary ninja sword. Extremely explosive.

Moaning slightly, Masumi Asami stepped back and quickly distanced herself from the other party.

Wrestling with the explosive ninja of this guy is completely asking for trouble.

"Earth escape, split earth and turn palms!"

At the moment when Masumi Asami retreated and landed, a Konoha ninja on the side had already aimed at the opportunity. After forming the seal, he pressed his hands on the ground, cracking the ground under Masumi Asami's feet, causing her to step into the air and lose her footing.

"Successful!"

Holding the handle of the knife with both hands, Konoha Joinin with bulging muscles, his eyes lit up, seized this hard-to-obtain opportunity to suppress, instantly gathered a large amount of chakra on his legs and feet, and his figure flew out like a whirlwind, jumping into the air, He raised the broad-backed ninja in his hand above his head and quickly chopped it down.

boom!

The earth, which had been shattered, exploded again.

The strong airflow rushes wildly, blowing away the surrounding sand and snow.

"cough!"

Compared to this Konoha ninja, Masumi Asami's weak body, her back directly hit an uneven stone, her face was pale, and her lips were slightly gritted, and a hint of scarlet flowed out.

She used the Chakra scalpel in her right hand to support the suppression of the ninja knife, but the terrifying force pouring in made her unbearable, feeling like her phalanx was about to shatter, and she lost consciousness.

"Humph!"

Konoha Junin let out a heavy groan, his strength increased sharply again, and the generous ninja knife pressed up again, the blade touched Masumi Asami's shoulder, and blood flowed out, staining her uniform and white coat.

Facing the brutal suppression by this Konoha Jōnin, Masumi Asami still had a smile on her pale face. In her perception, more and more ninjas rushed over.

But she didn't have the slightest bit of timidity on her face, her free left hand pinched the spectacle frame on her eyes and folded it gently.

Card!

The bracket of the eye seemed to have triggered the mechanism and was detached from the spectacle frame, revealing a slender knife at the tip, more delicate and slender than a medical scalpel.

Seeing this scene, Konoha Kamijin's face changed greatly, and while he quickly backed away, a gust of breeze flew past his cheeks, and the glasses holder that flew out cut a wound on his face.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the cold smell of disinfectant poured into his nostrils, and his neck was as cold as ice and fire, piercingly cold and burning like fire.

I saw Masumi Asami's chakra scalpel in his right hand, sharply inserted into his throat.

"Really... hell..."

Taking this sentence as the end of his life, the name Konoha Kamijin fell down with unwillingness.

The lenses were stained red with blood, and the glasses with one side of the bracket missing were still hanging on Masumi Asami's face, but they had fallen off toward the bridge of the nose.

"team leader!"

"Kill her and avenge the captain!"

The surrounding Konoha ninjas undoubtedly fell into a rage, and the murderous servants came up one after another.

Masumi Asami threw the glasses without a bracket on the side of the road, took out a new pair of glasses from the red-stained white coat, and put them on his face.

Then, she showed an emotionless smile that was so clean that it could even be called icy cold, and the chakra scalpel in her hand released a water-like blue radiance, facing the Konoha ninja who were surrounded.

◎

That was before everything happened--

Years have passed since the Second Ninja World War, but the situation between countries is still tense.

The Ninja village of a big country, as always, is extremely thirsty for military power, and a small country that surrounds and relies on the breath of a big country to survive can only live in such a tense situation.

Since the medical reform, Konoha's medical ninjas have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Although it has not covered all the teams, the sacrifice rate of Konoha's ninjas in missions has plummeted in recent years, which is an indisputable fact.

In this turbulent and troubled world, it is extremely lucky to have a moment of peace.

"This ghost weather is really hot..."

Putting his hand on his forehead and staring at the sun shining brightly above his head, Shiraishi, who was standing outside the clothing store, groaned in dissatisfaction.

I really don't want to go out on such a hot day.

And due to the limitations of the ninja world, there is no air conditioner in Konoha Village to adjust the air conditioning.

Although Liuli's house has an underground freezer, which can bring a touch of coolness in the hot summer, there are no such favorable conditions outside.

Not to mention that I don't want to go out during the holidays, and the days when I go to work at a ninja school or a hospital are even more difficult in this weather.

In normal times, he doesn't like going out in this kind of weather. Even if teacher Hatake Sakumo 'suicided because of fear of crime' not long ago, he needed to keep an eye on Anbu and Genbu, he just left this part of the work to General Tu, and he didn't need to do it himself at all.

But now it's different, the festival is coming soon.

Today, I have to go out with Ruri to buy the summer kimono that I need to wear for the festival.

Maybe this is the style of a wealthy lady. Although there are many kimonos worn at festivals at home, they still go out and buy them every year.

However, when I think of where Ayane might be staring right now, maybe tomorrow...

I hope this year's summer festival can unfold peacefully.

Shiraishi, who had never believed in gods and Buddhas, could not help but pray at this time. As for which **** to worship, it is not known.

At this moment, a pair of young men and women passing by caught Shiraishi's attention.

The man and woman were about five years apart in age, but at this time they were like lovers, holding hands intimately, talking and laughing as they walked down the street in front of Shiraishi.

Perhaps noticing Shiraishi's gaze, the slightly older young man gave Shiraishi a gentle smile and greeted him. He took the girl beside him and left along the front of the street. Preparing for the post-summer festival.

Asami Masumi.

It was the name of the girl next to the young man.

He was barely acquainted with himself, after all, he was a classmate in the same medical experimental class.

He is currently working in the pharmacy department of Konoha Hospital, responsible for drug development. Although he is young, he is already the team leader of a drug development team in the pharmacy department~www.readwn.com~ is like a rising star in the Konoha medical field.

But because he is usually taciturn and his interpersonal relationships seem to be average, he is a lukewarm face to anyone, not to mention snuggling closely with a man, and showing a shy and innocent smile...

In the past, it was hard for Shiraishi to imagine that his female classmate would be as passionate about love as an ordinary girl.

Although she doesn't look ugly, she wears thick-framed and rustic glasses that look like an ascetic girl.

At a glance, people will know that the other party and love are not related to creatures like men.

What's more, the man beside her was young and handsome, and from the outside, he was very attractive to women.

Yet this fact happened miraculously.

However, that man... Shiraishi touched his chin and lowered his head, a slight light lit up in his eyes.

Although it is not very sure, if I remember correctly, the name should be Fujisaki Takeshi. Although he is young, he is already a member of the Konohagami Ninja.

Not only that, in the investigation of General Tu, the other party and the three generations of Hokage seem to have some connection.

It's a Hokage school ninja who can 'heaven up to the sky' in Konoha.

"what are you doing?"

A cold and cold voice came from the side, and Liuli came out of the clothing store at some point, empty-handed.

"It's nothing, I'm thinking about something. What, didn't you choose?"

Looking at Liuli with empty hands, Shiraishi asked.

"I don't see the one you like, let's go, go to the next one."

"OK."

Bai Shi nodded, silently sent an order to the general Tu, and then followed Liu Li as if nothing had happened.

If you track down this man named Takeshi Fujisaki, you might have a pleasant surprise. Shiraishi had such thoughts in his heart.
