MTL - Escape From Konoha-v6 Chapter 161 time
late July.
Jiraiya, who was protecting the safety of the Daming Mansion in the Land of Fire, waited for others before rushing back to Konoha Village from the Daming Mansion. At this time, in the village area destroyed by Uchiha Sasuke, except for the severely damaged northwest plate, the rest of the area was basically repaired in a hurry when the construction team stayed up all night.
As Hokage's Tsunade, he no longer put his office in the Anbu Building of the subordinate organization, but moved back to the restored Hokage Building.
Although there are still some places outside the Hokage Building that need to be rested, but at least it is used for normal office work, and there is no problem.
"How's the situation over there?"
Seeing Jiraiya, Kai, and Tenzo appearing in the office, Tsunade asked about the recent situation of the daimyo of the country of fire.
As Hokage, the relationship with that daimyo is not unfamiliar. She has met that daimyo more than once since she was very young. The other party belongs to the same generation as his teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen. Strictly speaking, Also her elders.
"Under our constant surveillance, nothing happened in the Daming Mansion. We also rushed back after the envoys from the Kingdom of Ghosts left."
He also said so seriously.
Otherwise, their team would not dare to let the Fire Nation daimyo get in touch with such a dangerous person.
"However, this time the ghost country caused such a big commotion in Konoha, is this the case in the village?"
Although he has been in charge of protecting the daimyo at the daimyo mansion for a while, and has not participated in the battle to protect Konoha, he can also know a general idea of the situation in the village through the information sent by Anbu.
It goes without saying that the buildings were damaged, but the hundreds of ninjas sacrificed really dealt a big blow to Konoha.
"At this time, there is no other way but to restrain yourself. Could it be that we are going to start a war against them again?"
Tsunade's rhetorical question left Jiraiya speechless.
Tsunade gestured to Kai and Tenzo behind Jiraiya, the two nodded knowingly, and left the office, leaving Tsunade and Jiraiya here.
Tsunade took a sip of tea calmly to relieve the fatigue on his face, and then said: "As long as the power dispute within Konoha is not resolved for a day, it is impossible to concentrate on dealing with the external environment. Next, I have to restrain the forces inside the village faster and gather them together. Otherwise, if the same thing happens next time, our side will still not be able to act rashly."
At this time, no matter which country it is, it doesn't want to fight the ghost country head-on on the battlefield.
Although the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth are located in the western part of the mainland, they are extremely at odds with the Kingdom of Ghosts, but the two countries are also suffering under the oppression of the Kingdom of Ghosts. Even so, they don't want to start a war with the ghost country here, but step up their own country's military power, hoping to fight back quickly in the future.
At this time, Yunyin, the only country of thunder that had fought against the military of the country of ghosts, also used the small country as a stage to use the power of other countries to fight against the country of ghosts as an agent, suppressing the scale of the battle to a minimum. conduct. And judging from the information collected by the Anbu, it seems that the small country regime controlled by Yun Yin has also begun to lean towards the disadvantage.
Fanning the armed forces of non-governmental organizations and using the huge population base to develop a fairly large-scale self-defense counterattack force in the local area is the specialty of the ghost country.
Compared with the past, the allied forces of the ghost country are growing stronger year by year.
The bad news is that the growth of Ghost Kingdom cannot be stopped.
The good news is that there are currently no other big countries joining its alliance, and the relationship with the ghost country is relatively bad, otherwise the situation of the other big countries will be even more precarious.
"Accelerate internal integration? I heard that the two consultants..."
Jiraiya also remembered something, looked straight at Tsunade, and confirmed the truth of the news.
Tsunade nodded without hiding.
"Zanzhu Xiaochun was able to find a charred and mutilated corpse. As for Mitomenyan... we can only build a clothes tomb. The time of burial is the day after tomorrow. At that time, I will lead the ninjas and see him off in person. "
Such things should have been dealt with long ago, but the restoration of the village is more important.
Therefore, the funeral arrangements for the two consultants can only be postponed.
"Unexpectedly, only Uchiha Sasuke can do this kind of thing. Those two old guys, even if they are old, are good players among Jonin, and they also..."
Zilai also sighed.
It is useless to say anything at this time, after all, the living are gone.
Moreover, his relationship with those two advisors, to be honest, wasn't exactly harmonious. At most, it was because the other party was from the same school as his teacher, Sarutobi Hiruzashi, so there was a trace of respect in his heart. In addition, the passing of these two people made him feel emotional at most, and he had no other thoughts.
"Uchiha Sasuke's strength is a bit surprising, but...the ability to intercept me that day, and there are a lot of Anbu's Sharingan ninja abilities, which is even more incredible. His kaleidoscope Sharingan focuses on the dimension of time and space, and according to Sand Hidden Village According to Maki Jami, the other party wore the costume of that mysterious organization in the past and kidnapped Gaara who was on the front line of the battlefield at that time."
When Tsunade said this, his expression gradually became solemn.
He took out two photos, one of which was obviously not new, and showed some signs of damage. This photo was provided by Jonin Maki of Sand Hidden Village.
The figure that appeared on it was wearing a red cloud coat with a black background, exposing the kaleidoscope Sharingan of the right eye, the mask was orange spiral pattern, the left eye was covered and not exposed.
The figure in the second photo is similar to him, but instead of a red cloud coat with a black background, the outer clothing is mainly black, and the rest of the colors are not too much. The style of the mask is also different, and in addition to the kaleidoscope sharingan with the same pattern on the right eye, the left eye is also exposed, but it is not a kaleidoscope sharingan, but an ordinary three-pointed jade sharingan.
It is basically certain that the person in the two photos is the same person.
"you mean…"
"At that time, Sand Yin mistakenly thought that the ninja who kidnapped Gaara was the same organization that kidnapped Yun Yin and Iwa Yin Jinchuriki, but now that I think about it, it is not entirely true. The Kingdom of Demons knows the situation of this organization very well, at least Knows more than we do, plus..."
Tsunade pointed at the man with the spiral pattern in the first photo.
"If this impersonation is not groundless, then there may be a character wearing a spiral mask in this mysterious organization. And, it is very likely that he also has Sharingan."
As he spoke, he pointed to the left eye of the figure in the second photo.
"The people in the two photos are all holding kaleidoscope sharingan in the right eye. The first photo is covered by a mask, so the left eye cannot be seen clearly, but the left eye in the second photo is a three-pointed jade, which is very illustrative. some problems."
"Is this the connection?"
After listening to Tsunade's hypothesis, Jiraiya was also thinking about the connection.
"It's just one of the assumptions made by the intelligence department, but everything must be considered on the premise of the worst possibility. After all, our opponent is not simple."
Therefore, Tsunade believes that the ninja with the spiral pattern mask and the same sharing eye exists in the mysterious organization that targets Jinzhuli.
"I see, I will investigate this aspect. Although Boss Fukasaku and the others have left Konoha and found another place to recuperate, there are still some toads on my side that can be used."
Said so too.
After teaching Naruto the magic of Mt. Miaomu, the surviving members of Mt. Miaomu, headed by the two immortals, left Konoha more than half a year ago, looking for a secluded place in the ninja world to multiply.
With hundreds of years of experience, the two immortals have no lack of knowledge about the ninja world. Some ancient and remote places are difficult for today's humans to find, but it is not difficult for the two immortals.
Therefore, their side is not worth worrying about.
However, due to the heavy losses after the battle in Miaomu Mountain, more than half of the high-level combat power of Hama Village was lost in the hands of the army of the country of ghosts and the ninja cat clan. In today's Toad Village, there are only two great immortals left, and three or two large toads, such as Toad Wentai, to support the scene.
The strength has declined to the point where even the Ninja Cats are slightly inferior.
Such a Toad Village naturally dare not go to call itself the holy land of the world of psychic beasts.
Losing the powerful existence that competed with the Shigulin Patriarch Slug Immortal and Longdi Cave Patriarch White Snake Immortal, there is a long way to go to regain the title of Holy Land. But as long as the inheritance of immortal art is not destroyed, there is hope for a comeback.
"I hope so. In addition, this is some information about Sasuke Uchiha and the ability of the mysterious Sharingan ninja sorted out by the intelligence department. Please read it carefully. Although it is not very useful, at least it can be used for them. Understand, so that you won’t be caught off guard the next time you meet.”
Tsunade took out a scroll and placed it in front of Jiraiya.
There is too much difference in the series between Sharingan and Kaleidoscope Sharingan.
It's just that if you share sharingan, you can win the battle with detailed information.
But in the face of the power of Kaleidoscope Sharingan, there is no ninja of the same level to suppress it. In a war, it is an extremely terrifying meat grinding machine.
Jiraiya held the scroll to record the information and fell into short thoughts.

"Master Raikage, Konoha's loss this time is not small, and we should pay more attention to the kingdom of ghosts."
Konoha was attacked by Uchiha Sasuke, and this incident was not hidden from villages other than Konoha.
After all, on the day Konoha was attacked, Yunyin and the other ninjas who existed were watching.
In the office, Secretary Mabuyi made a brief analysis after reviewing the information compiled by the Yunyin Intelligence Department.
And in the center of the office, the Fourth Raikage, who easily lifted the barbell with the unit of "ton" with one hand, snorted softly without panting, while continuing to lift the barbell so heavy that it could weigh a house with one hand. The smashed barbell and the bulging muscles of the arms seemed to be cast from steel.
"I'll talk about the ghost country later. In the territory of those small countries, haven't you always fought against them?"
Fourth Raikage said.
Although this was personally entrusted by the daimyo of the country of thunder, Yun Yin also gained a lot of benefits from manipulating the small country behind the scenes.
Today's Yunyin has also begun to imitate the country of ghosts and began to settle in the territories of some small countries in the name of military protection.
The difference is that, unlike the soft policy of the Kingdom of Ghosts, Yunyin directly controls the Daming Mansion of the country in order to gain huge benefits for the Kingdom of Thunder and Yunyin.
And use the small civil war to launch war money.
"Having said that, we have always been at a disadvantage. Sure enough, in terms of people's hearts, the country of ghosts is better. I heard that the country of water seems to have suffered a lot from it, and I don't know who the former What is the effect of Daishuiying's suppression?"
Azabui made an objective speech based on data, and then mentioned the country of water.
Surrounded by the sea on all sides, it is a large maritime country isolated from the mainland by a huge sea area.
The fourth Mizukage Goju Yakura, after he abdicated to the sage, heard that he handed over the affairs of Kirigakure Village to the fifth generation Mizukage Terumimei, and he cooperated with the Water Country Daimyofu to suppress the government. The rebels in the kingdom of water provoked by the kingdom of ghosts.
Although Azabui is not optimistic about the character of this former Mizukage, he is still a generation of Mizukage after all, and he is still in his own territory. In any case, the riots at the grassroots level caused by the ghost country will be suppressed by this The former Mizukage who freed up his hand, let's solve it all in one go.
Unless the kingdom of ghosts is willing to increase its strength and expand the incident.
But in that case, it is bound to break the short-lived stability after the Fourth Ninja World War, and then it is very likely to trigger the Fifth Ninja World War.
"The matter of the country of water is left to Kirigakure to solve by himself. As for the small country under our control, it only needs to get funding for military development and scarce resources. As for the so-called public opinion, that kind of thing is left to the ghost. The country is well."
Fourth Raikage dismissed this.
As Raikage, his only purpose in a big country war with a small country as the stage is to raise more military development funds as soon as possible. Therefore, the so-called long-term interests are not within his consideration at all. In this chaotic world where the powerful act recklessly, allies and the like are unreliable, and the only thing they can rely on is their own force.
Too much trust in the ability and character of the allies will turn into deceiving the allies like Kirigakure, causing the tragedy of losing the war to happen again.
Therefore, the Fourth Raikage is not worried about the defeat situation in the small country battlefield. What he wants is to take away all the benefits that can be taken away from a country before the country of ghosts infiltrates it. Bring back Yunyin.
Funds, food, specialty products, and even secret and forbidden techniques are all being collected.
As a big country, the Land of Thunder has no shortage of population and land, but resources and the like will always be in short supply.
This is Yunyin's current foreign development strategy, and only the surrounding small countries are immune to such disasters.
Putting down the heavy barbell in his hand, Secretary Mabuyi walked up to him thoughtfully and handed him a wet towel.
Because the fourth Raikage's physique is too strong, even a woman like Azabui who is not petite is tall and tall among women, but in front of the fourth Raikage, she looks extraordinarily slender.
"The special operations team plan with Konoha, Sand Yin, and Yan Yin has been reached. Next, it's time to take action on that organization. As for the interruption of the joint Chunin exam that has not yet started, it will be postponed for one month and held in the village itself. Let’s deal with everything like this for now.”
For the interrupted Chunin exam, the Fourth Raikage didn't take it seriously.
Under the impetus of the ghost country, Sasuke Uchiha launched an attack on Konoha, but he also didn't care and chose to ignore it.
All he cares about is when he can regain Erwei and make Yunyin's military power stronger again.

Konoha torture room, underground.
Danzo, who was sitting on the chair in the convalescent room, had a bare arm that looked like a dead wood, and another arm full of red eyeballs, filled with a large number of needles, and was undergoing an infusion.
He lay quietly on the seat, his entire face was numb, as if he had lost all consciousness, and he ignored the pain caused by the powerful chakras colliding in his body.
On his numb face, there was only a pair of flickering eyes, which proved that he was still alive, and his brain still had clear and flexible thinking ability.
The root ninja who was treating him next to him was wearing a white coat and a white mask on his face. He was concocting potions on the workbench, trying his best to make Danzo live as long as possible.
"Spine, how long is my time left?"
Danzo still stared forward with a numb face, but his attention was focused on the medical ninja who was preparing medicine for him.
Although the other party was wearing a mask, the wrinkles between his brows, including his slightly dyed white hair, meant that he was not young, at least fifty years old.
As one of the earliest members who joined the root with the oily girl Ryoma, the medical ninja named "Spine" has always been one of the best medical ninjas in the root, and belongs to the few trusted confidantes of Danzo.
"Judging from the recent results, Danzo-sama, you have at most less than half a year to live. No matter how you concoct the medicine, the power of Sharingan and Mutun is not so easy to reconcile. Perhaps at the beginning with these two completely different It is a wrong idea that different forces achieve balance and symbiosis in the body."
The medical ninja paused in his tricky movements, glanced at Danzo with muddy but shrewd eyes, and sighed softly.
In fact, whether it is Sharingan or Mutun, they will bring unparalleled repulsion to unmatched bodies.
Tianzang, who is now highly regarded in Konoha Anbe, is a test subject that is suitable for Mu Dun.
But Danzo is not like this. His body is not very suitable for Sharingan and Mutun.
It is just to temporarily suppress this hidden danger with its own powerful chakra. But this is also based on the mutual consumption and resistance of Sharingan and Mutun. Otherwise, even a ninja like Danzo would have difficulty suppressing the two blood successor boundaries with his own chakra.
Not to mention, all kinds of precious secret medicines that have to be spent on Danzo every year.
But even so, this body is almost reaching its limit.
Danzo did not answer, nor did he comment on this possible possibility, whether there was a mistake.
He will never regret what he has done.
Since he missed the position of the Third Hokage, there is no need for such words as regret and hesitation in his life.
To accomplish one thing, no matter what the price is, one must be unswerving in completing it to the end.
Moreover, there is no resentment in his heart.
From the moment he went from darkness to light, and then from light to the bottom of darkness, he already understood that he would never be able to get the throne of Hokage.
That position, from the very beginning, did not belong to me.
The rats in the dark can only continue to linger on in this twisted posture that cannot see the light, until the end of their lives is ushered in the dark.
Tears, compassion, weakness, those are not things that I need to consider.
Now I just need to use all means to crush all the obstacles in front of Konoha's path before my life comes to an end.
"It seems that the relationship between the old man and this village is coming to an end..."
Danzo muttered to himself, Ji didn't hear any meaning of worrying about gains and losses, or being discouraged or afraid.
For this old man who has lived in darkness for decades, death is a cowardice that has long been forgotten.
"That's right." Ji nodded, acknowledging the fact that the other party's life was not long, and continued: "So, regarding the matter of the heir, Danzo-sama should really take care of it. As long as you die, the roots can still be controlled. But those fighters who have attached themselves may completely lose control and cause huge troubles to the village."
"Heir? For a ninja like this old man, it's quite an ironic word."
The corner of Danzo's mouth twitched slightly, and he squeezed out a smile of unknown meaning.
Ji also smiled and replied: "Yes, after all, you are no longer able to become Hokage, and the heir is also forced to be agile. We who are in the dark are far from the values of Hokage and others. From the very beginning, we You shouldn't waste the so-called light, but die as a nameless person in the darkness."
The name Thorn is not so much a name as a code name.
As for the original name, he could still remember it when he first added the root.
But as the years passed, and then decades passed, the only name he could remember was the code name 'thorn'.
He only remembered that he had a wife, children, and a warm family of his own. But the faces and names of these people are gradually blurred in memory.
The root is a non-staff organization that gathers people who have forgotten their names and pasts~www.novelbuddy.com~ The brighter the place, the stronger the roots underneath it, and they are deeply rooted in the ground. A tree cannot live without its roots. But the roots we build...will they really be the roots that Konoha lives on? "
As Danzo said these words, the reagent tube in Ji's shocked hand fell to the ground, shattered with a snap, and the liquid inside splashed out.
"Master Danzo..."
"Don't worry, Ji, the old man has never questioned the correctness of the road. But the future of Gen, maybe it will look different. It's just that the old man will never see such a future again. This time the treatment is over. Here."
Danzo removed the intubation tube in his arm and stood up from the seat.
At this moment, the door of the convalescent room was pushed open, and You Nu Qu Gen walked in from the outside.
"Master Danzo, it's time for the funeral of the two advisors."
