MTL - Escape From Konoha-v6 Chapter 142 reaction

"Here... what happened?"

In the center of the hollowed out forest, a huge pothole with a diameter of hundreds of meters came into view roughly and directly.

The potholes extend down in layers in an orderly manner, and there is no grass in it, and it is barren. Such a scene is difficult to describe accurately in words.

Jiraiya was squatting on the edge of the pothole at this time, just grabbed a handful of sand on the ground, before he could hold it tightly, the sand in his hand had turned into powder and was blown away into the distance.

Even the small pieces mixed into it are the same at any time, turning into powder with a light touch. Seeing this, Jiraiya's face couldn't help becoming solemn.

Although it is a bit unbelievable, this abnormal and layered pothole is obviously not formed naturally, let alone carefully excavated by humans, but caused by ninja ninjutsu.

Moreover, within a single blow, hundreds of meters of ground were sunk.

"Is it Tailed Beast Jade..."

No, Jiraiya quickly denied this guess.

He had seen the tragedy of the earth after being blasted by the tailed beast jade, and it was not like this.

However, being able to use ninjutsu to destroy the earth into such a state, its power might not be much worse than that of the Tailed Beast Jade.

"This kind of ninjutsu... who actually performed it?"

Why did ninjas with such power appear in the forest country adjacent to the fire country?

Jiraiya also stood up from the ground, patted the dust on the clothes in front of him, brushed off the dust, and showed a pensive expression.

He didn't believe that a ninja with such abilities would wander around Lin Zhiguo before leaving with nothing to do.

Even using such a huge range of ninjutsu, there must be a purpose.

In his decades of memory, it can be said that there are almost no ninjas who can expand the power of ninjutsu to such a scale.

Except for Chiba Shiraishi from the Ghost Country, in his memory, there is no second such ninja.

However, this was obviously not caused by Chiba Shiraishi.

The ninjutsu that the opponent had demonstrated in the Land of Wind to wipe out a thousand ninjas with one blow, the scale of the explosion and the resulting terrain were much worse than this.

In other words, it was caused by a ninja who didn't exist in his memory.

Thinking of this, Zilai no longer hesitated, and jumped to the bottom of the pothole.

The desertification of the land here is even more serious. Even after a long time, there is still a sharp and icy breath lingering here, piercing the flesh and bones.

"Master Ziraiya."

Following a respectful voice, four figures landed instantly and appeared in front of Jiraiya.

The leader is a Konoha Anbe ninja wearing a beige windbreaker, serving as the captain of the team, followed by three Konoha Anbe, who all wear masks and carry a standard ninja sword behind them.

Judging from their travel-stained posture, it seems that they have just arrived here not long ago.

"It's you guys, can you tell me what happened here?"

Jiraiya continued to patrol around, looking for traces that could identify the caster.

Even a trace of it would play a key role in his verification. "No, we are not particularly clear, we have just arrived here not long ago, and the information we know is limited. What has been verified so far is only certain that this should be caused by some kind of powerful ninjutsu. But who caused it needs further investigation. "

The Kingdom of Forest is adjacent to the Kingdom of Fire. It is a landlocked country, and it is also a small country living in the cracks between big countries. Although the relationship with the Nation of Fire and Konoha has not been harmonious in recent years, and the ninja armed group Banjna in the country is even more radical, this country is also one of the gates of the Nation of Fire.

This kind of thing is happening in the territory of Lin Zhiguo, and Konoha, who is the representative of the fire incident, naturally wants to conduct a thorough investigation of this place.

A ninja with such abilities is by no means an ordinary person in the ninja world. If the other party can do such a thing regardless of his status in the territory of Lin Zhiguo, then it is not ruled out that the other party will also be angry.

Nation of Fire does the same thing.

To prevent problems before they happen, the purpose of their Anbu's existence is to protect Konoha and Hokage, and eliminate possible threats as soon as possible.

From this point of view, on the external side, their thinking patterns and roots are no different. However, they will not resort to unscrupulous means to launch radical actions before investigating the truth of the matter.

"From the results of my observations, it should not be that person from the Ghost Kingdom... Besides, that person's identity at this time is the Minister of Defense of the Ghost Kingdom. Under normal circumstances, people with his status should not take it rashly." Leaving the country of demons. In this case, it will be very troublesome to investigate."

Jilai also expressed his own guess.

"We also have the same idea here, so for further investigation, we collected a part of the soil containing the caster's chakra and prepared to take it back for testing. As long as you know the characteristics of chakra, and then talk to the ninjas in the intelligence system By making a comparison, the identity of the caster will surely be found out soon.”

The captain of the dark army took out a sealed transparent bag, which stored a small amount of sand.

This sealed bag can preserve Chakra for a long time, and will not cause the Chakra in the sand to disappear over time.

"However, ordinary chakra is volatile and does not exist for too long, but this chakra is rooted in the destroyed soil, and there are still some residues that have not disappeared. To be honest, the power of the caster is strong. Terrible. It's like being destroyed by a tailed beast jade..."

The captain of the dark army was speechless, and there was inevitably worry in his tone.

"besides…"

The captain of the dark army paused, but did not continue speaking.

"Other than that, what else?"

Zilai also became curious.

"We asked the residents of the town closest to here. They said that there was a sudden thunder and lightning in the forest last night, and it rained heavily. Then a huge "ball" appeared in the sky, blocking the moon. I think this information is somewhat important. .”

"Thunderstorm...ball..."

Ji Lai also pondered over these words carefully, but in the end he found nothing.

Based on these words alone, there is no way to determine what happened here.

Moreover, the "ball" blocks the moon, isn't this a bit too exaggerated?

"It's a little weird."

The captain of the dark army continued.

He glanced around and said in a low voice: "Generally speaking, with such a huge pothole, the lost soil will not disappear out of thin air, but in the nearby forest, except for the collapsed trees, we did not see a large amount of accumulated sand. It doesn't make sense at all. I wonder if those small town residents saw the "ball" blocking the moon last night, could it be..."

""

Zilai also suddenly fell silent.

Some shuddered.

So, a group of people left the pothole and continued to check around.

Not long after, a forest passage extending to the north of the forest country was discovered, and traces of battle remained everywhere along the way.

Some places are still muddy, having not recovered from last night's torrential rain.

But it does not affect the investigation of the Anbu ninjas.

The scorching marks on the trees are the best evidence.

Anbe, who followed Jiraiya, collected some of the scorched bark, brought it back to Konoha, and handed it over to professionals for testing.

About an hour later, they arrived at the northern border of Lin Zhiguo.

The tall wall was completely broken, revealing the ruined building inside.

Like a group of hounds smelling flesh and blood, the Anbu bared their fangs and took action.

They stepped into the ruins inside the wall. Not surprisingly, this place was the core of the battle.

Without any explanation, he condensed his chakra with his hands, pushed away the blocked rocks in twos and twos, and explored ahead.

Finally, as the last rock was pushed away, what appeared in front of everyone was a built-in wall that was mostly damaged.

In front of the wall, there is a handful of stones missing a corner.

chairs, and on the wall, there is a conspicuous mark printed on it that makes people unable to take their eyes off after one glance.

round fan.

"Uchiha..."

Jiraiya narrowed his eyes, muttering about the origin of the Uchiwa fan logo.

This is the family crest of the Uchiha clan.

"I have heard that in the past, the Uchiha clan, although the main body was in Konoha, still established some secret strongholds outside, used to communicate with the clansmen who went out, or to rest. It is estimated that they established here One of the secret strongholds."

The captain of the dark army said so.

"Continue to search. The traces of the battle here are very new. It should have happened last night. There must be something left around."

Following Jiraiya's order, the Anbu people nodded one after another, scattered around and began to investigate.

Jiraiya has not been idle either. After knowing that this is a secret stronghold of Uchiha, the bad premonition in his heart is getting stronger and stronger.

He jumped onto a boulder on the top of the ruins, looking straight ahead, as if there was something that attracted him.

I saw a black flame falling on a gap in the wall, burning quietly.

@

Hidden in the rain.

On the platform of the tower, the sound of rain pattered.

A tall figure stood in the rain curtain, as if ignoring the chill brought by the rain, just looked up at the gray sky, surrounded by a sad atmosphere that no one should enter.

He didn't look back at the sky until he heard footsteps behind him, and turned to look at the person coming.

"Onisame, the meeting is about to begin."

It was Xiao Nan who came. After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

Stepping on the footsteps, the voice gradually faded away, as if it was just coming to inform this order.

Kisame scratched his head in distress, and muttered: "Really, you can't let me rest for a while. Itachi died. As a companion, I have to mourn at least."

But looking at Xiao Nan's appearance, it seems that he is not ready to give him time to mourn the death of his companion.

Kisame had no choice but to shrug his shoulders, walked under the eaves, shook the rainwater from his hair, and dried the moisture on it.

Fortunately, the outer coat is waterproof, so there is no need to replace it with another one.

Follow Xiao Nan to the conference room of the Rain Hidden Tower.

Same as the original configuration, a huge round table, and ten stone seats around the round table.

Every time you visit, as long as you don't use the magic lamp body technique for remote audio-visual conferences, you will basically start a real-life friendship here.

When he came here, he found that there were already two people sitting in his own seat, they were a mixture of black and white, and Beiliuhu who came from afar.

Other than that, there was only myself and Xiao Nan.

There are four people in total.

The atmosphere in the conference room, to be honest, was a little too deserted.

The people sitting in the seats seemed to be a little silent, and they didn't know where to start.

Kisame really wanted to tell a bad joke to liven up the atmosphere, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

At this time, I still tell cold jokes, and I feel that I will be targeted collectively.

Now is not the time to joke, it is almost the end of the rope.

Before half of the tailed beasts were caught, half of the core members were either sacrificed or caught due to various accidents.

"By the way, aren't the leader and Hobby here?"

Kisame felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to stir up the topic.

"The leader has important matters to deal with. Ah Fei is currently recovering from his injuries and cannot attend this meeting."

Heijue said in a hoarse voice.

"In other words, this meeting, there are only four of us... No, did five of us participate?"

Kisame started counting with his fingers.

If Hei Jue and Bai Jue are separated and calculated, there are indeed five people participating in this meeting.

"As far as the facts are concerned, that's true." Heijue continued to speak in a low tone: "Besides, Kisame, you and Bei Liuhu are staying in Yuyin Village for the time being, and there is no need for you to go out."

"Um?"

Kisame raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by this decision.

"There are too many eyeliners of the ghost kingdom outside, and it is not 100% safe to work in a team of two, let alone acting alone, it will only become a living target for the ghost kingdom to hunt, and continue to reduce the vitality of our side."

Kisame and Beiliuhu are both extremely valuable combat power of the organization, if any accident happens to them, then the organization will really be useless.

"I don't care, as long as you don't disturb my experiment."

Beryuhu stated his decision very simply.

Kisame also nodded, agreed, and agreed to stay in Yuyin for the time being and not to go out for activities.

"Well then, let's start the meeting in earnest..."

Seeing Beilihu and Kisame agree to stay, Heijue's voice sounded again in the meeting room.

Konoha.

Looking at the information collected by the Anbu who went out, Tsunade frowned tightly, biting her fingers subconsciously. Judging from her posture, she should be quite distressed about the content of the information, so that her thoughts were confused.

"How about it, Shikahisa, after reading this information, what do you think?"

Tsunade asked Shikahisa, who had watched the intelligence documents with him, for his suggestions and opinions.

The forest in the northern part of Linzhiguo was suspected to have been bombarded by some kind of powerful ninjutsu, and a huge crater with a range of several hundred meters appeared.

In addition, on the border of the northern forest, a building suspected to be a secret Uchiha stronghold was discovered.

The building, also damaged by the fighting, was reduced to ruins.

In the intelligence document, in addition to the text description, there is also a stack of photos recording the battlefield. Even if you haven't been there to observe in person, you can have a very detailed understanding of the battlefield.

"Exaggerated."

Looking at the huge pothole in the photo, Lu Jiu rubbed his eyebrows and gave such an evaluation.

Shikamaru is very skeptical about the potholes hundreds of meters in size. Is this really something a ninja can do?

Anyway, this is too exaggerated.

But the facts are in front of us, this is indeed caused by ninjas with ninjutsu.

There are ninjas who can achieve this level in the ninja world, but such well-defined potholes do not fit any one in Konoha's intelligence system.

and…

Looking at the huge pothole in the photo, Lu Jiu frowned again, feeling troubled.

"What's wrong?"

"No, I think this pothole is a bit strange, Hokage-sama."

"strangeness?"

Tsunade picked up the palm of the teacup and paused slightly.

Lu Jiu put down the photo, pointed to the pothole above and said, "Here, although some of the trees on the edge of the pothole have fallen down, most of them are still intact and have not been damaged. I think the ones that can cause potholes The impact formed by the attack should be enough to blow away everything on the edge of the pothole... But in the end, these trees are still intact and rooted on the edge of the pothole, and the area of ​​damage suffered is very limited. It doesn't feel like a natural The impact from top to bottom, or from the inside out. It is this land, which is "lifted, gone..." from bottom to top

Immediately, Lu Jiu pointed to the eyewitness testimony of some small towns in the intelligence and mentioned the "ball" that blocks the moon.

"Anbu of the investigation speculated that the ball that blocks the moon is made of rock and soil that disappeared from the pothole. This guess, I think, is somewhat reasonable. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why the forest on the edge was not crushed by the impact, but the loss was very small. Someone sucked the land away and formed a "ball" in the sky."

Tsunade nodded slightly, agreeing with Lu Jiu's guess.

"By the way, I heard that Hokage-sama is very strong. I would like to ask, Hokage-sama, can you lift such a large piece of land at once?"

Lu Jiu asked with interest.

After Tsunade heard it, the corners of his mouth twitched, his face darkened: "I can't do it."

Although her strength is great, it has not yet surpassed the common sense of ninjas.

She doesn't know the weight of the accumulated stone and soil in such a huge pothole, but it is definitely not something that humans can lift away with brute force.

Even if she uses strange power, she can't do it.

Moreover, it is even more impossible to pull such a large piece of land out of the ground in such a neat way.

"This pothole, and the matter of the Uchiha stronghold, let the Anbu secretly follow up and investigate for the time being. The most important thing right now is the next Chunin exam. There is such a big thing in Lin Zhiguo, I am a little worried about this year's Will the Chunin Exam go smoothly..."

Tsunade's concerns are not unreasonable.

Lin Zhiguo's incident this time was too sudden and happened without warning.

If this unknown ninja came to the Land of Fire to do this next time, Tsunade would feel dizzy just thinking about it.

After all, the Kingdom of Lin is so close to the Kingdom of Fire, this must be guarded against, and the identity of the caster must be ascertained as soon as possible. At that time, whether it is prevention or other means, there will be no rush.

Lu Jiu really wanted to say that this year's Chunin exam should be cancelled... But, it has already reached this point, and it is too late to regret it.

Not to mention, the ninjas in each village are already ready, and some ninja villages have already dispatched ninjas in advance to prepare for the exam in Konoha Village. The sudden cancellation of the Chunin exam at this time is too difficult.

Neither Hokage nor the rest of the top management will agree.

But first, the operation to encircle and suppress Orochimaru failed, and the nearby forest in the northern part of Linzhiguo was attacked by unknown ninjas, who seemed to be related to the Uchiha clan... All kinds of accidents happened, so Shikajiu had to be careful.

"If Hokage-sama is worried, then increase the number of patrols in the Land of Fire to ensure that candidates from each village can reach Konoha safely."

Lu Jiu felt that this was the only thing he could handle right now.

In short, to finish this Chunin exam smoothly, there must be no accidents in the middle.

After resting in bed for an unknown amount of time, Sasuke felt that he could finally get out of bed.

Although the moment I got out of bed, I still felt the pain in the bones in my body, but fortunately I was able to walk freely.

Chakra's overdraft situation is more serious than I imagined.

But the main injury was caused by Itachi Susano's slash.

That level of slashing power, even if it's just the aftermath that radiates out, can easily shatter the bones of a human body.

Fortunately, his body is much stronger than that of ordinary ninjas, otherwise it would not be as easy as lying on a hospital bed for two days.

The eyes are a little stinging, probably because of the awakening of the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, this power, I still feel a little uncomfortable when I use it.

Thinking of this, Sasuke laughed to himself.

He kept saying that he didn't bother to gain power in this way, but in the end, he still gained the power beyond Sharingan in the same way as Itachi.

In other words, he is also longing for such a will in his heart.

Otherwise, as long as he doesn't have such thoughts in his heart and such strong emotional fluctuations, Sharingan will not be able to evolve autonomously.

Sharingan is the eye that reflects the soul.

Getting out of the bed, Sasuke didn't take off the bandages on his body, and put on the brand new clothes that had been placed here. Just as he was about to walk to the door, a figure appeared at the door.

"Yo, little Sasuke, it's been a long time. Judging by your appearance, you should have recovered."

Appearing at the door was a baby-faced girl who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, or even younger.

The other party was wearing clothes with "Thunder Rune" printed on it, with his hands on his hips, he had a dignified air of a little adult.

But in Sasuke's view, the opponent's height and body shape are the same as a few years ago, and there is no growth.

"You are... Chino, the leader of the Lightning Squad."

Sasuke recalled the baby-faced girl's identity and name.

The leader of the underground black market Leiguang Group.

Due to being employed by the Land of Waves Farmers and Workers Group, the ninjas of the Lei Guang Group have always been active in the Land of Waves to eliminate unknown armed forces that covet this land.

Although the Lei Guang Group has few members, everyone is very powerful.

The baby-faced girl Chino who can lead this group of elite ninjas is certainly not a simple person.

As far as Sasuke knows, she possesses an extremely terrifying blood-successor limit.

But...as the leader of the Lei Guang Group~www.novelbuddy.com~Why does she appear here?

Could it be that the place where he is now is the stronghold of the Lightning Lightning Corps in the Kingdom of Waves?

In other words, this is the Land of Waves sandwiched between the Land of Fire and the Land of Water?

Taking a deep breath, Sasuke felt that he had discovered an amazing secret.

—Lei Guangtuan, who appear to be in the underground black market, but actually serve in the ghost party.

It is one of the secret forces of the Ghost Army, the same as the Thorn Group. In the name of mercenaries, they secretly took the place of the ghost army and remotely controlled the kingdom of waves behind the scenes.

The Land of Fire... the largest sea portal!

Moreover, Sasuke felt that if he remembered correctly, the Land of Waves had a sea-crossing bridge directly leading to the land of the Land of Fire, which made the two countries unimpeded and business exchanges were very convenient.

In the same way, attacking will also become very convenient-
