Escape From Konoha

The country of ghosts, the western sea area.

Thick fog gathered on the vast expanse of sea, bringing an extremely cold chill.

The steel ship is like a giant black beast, breaking through layers of thick smog, and sailing through the wind and waves in the sea covered by thick fog.

In the outpost sea area about tens of kilometers in front of the steel ship, a ninja named Wuyin was divided into ten groups, put on standard diving suits, bound his body tightly, and then used water escape ninjutsu, one after another Dive into the sea water, merge with the sea water, hide your whereabouts, and swim forward quickly.

Just like the ninjas in Yanyin Village, most of the ninjas in Kirigakure have practiced the water escape technique, and a considerable number of Kirigakure ninjas will gain the ability to hold their breath in water for a long time after performing the water escape technique. ability.

If the land is the field where the ninjas play, then the waters and the ocean are the most beloved battlefields of the ninjas.

Ten groups, three people in each group, a total of 30 elite Kirigakure ninjas scattered around. As scouts, they need to have a detailed grasp of the situation of the Kirigakure ninja troops before the start of the battle between Kirigakure and the Oni Kingdom. trend.

In this way, the large forces in the rear can push forward.

Due to the lessons learned by Konoha and Iwagakure, the attitude towards this war must be cautious, and there must be no slack in the slightest.

Therefore, each of the Kirigakure ninjas who came to reconnaissance completed this S-level task personally assigned by their Mizukage-sama with a cautious and careful attitude.

As the Kirigakure ninjas dived into the sea and continued to sink, the sound in their ears became more and more silent. Occasionally, there was the sound of water flowing, and the surrounding light became darker and darker, as if they were about to As if trapped in a silent and dark world, only a small area covered by the searchlight can be seen.

Some Kirigakure ninjas looked down at their feet, and it was darker and deeper than the surroundings. The endless curtain of darkness made people feel infinitely oppressed and cold.

Kirigakure Ninja, who looked down, couldn't help but twitched, and his leg bones seemed to soften a little, which was an instinctive fear of darkness.

Even though he has done countless dives like this and has rich diving experience, every time he gazes into the depths of the seabed, he still feels his scalp tingling.

Compared with land and sky, the deep sea is both mysterious and terrifying.

The Kirigakure ninja, who knows all of this best, is naturally in awe of such an environment.

So, they didn't dare to look down, and they stopped at a distance where they could still hear the sound and vaguely see the light spots on the sea surface, and started to swim forward.

In the sea at a depth of more than 100 meters, it was difficult to transmit the sound, and the accompanying captain could only signal with gestures to signal the team members to move forward quickly.

The temperature of the sea water in winter is extremely cold, and the silent darkness constantly challenges the psychological resistance of the Kirigakure ninjas. Under this kind of physical and mental torture, even the Kirigakure ninjas who have experienced many battles must pay close attention. time to complete the task.

I don't know how long it has passed, maybe ten minutes, maybe half an hour, maybe a day has passed.

In such an oppressive, dark environment with no sound source, the ninjas of Kirigakure gradually lost their sense of time.

At this moment, a huge fusiform shadow loomed in front of their heads.

There are three Wuyin reconnaissance teams nearby, and they discovered this huge shadow floating on the sea almost simultaneously.

Instead of provoking it, he tactfully avoided it.

Just as they were about to do this, the water rolled quickly and something rushed over.

Then with a bang, it exploded in the sea water, the water rolled faster, and a huge fishing net spread out, instantly surrounding the group of three Kirigakure ninjas, tightly bound them tightly.

The three of them kept struggling in the fishing net, and picked up Kunai to cut the fishing net.

I don't know what kind of material this fishing net is made of, and it comes with chakra kunai, and when it is cut, it can't be cut at once.

The fishing net was pulled upwards, and the three Kirigakure ninjas panicked all of a sudden. They knew what would happen if they were pulled up, and they struggled harder in the fishing net.

The other two groups of Kirigakure ninjas also stepped forward to assist, picked up Kunai, and began to cut the rope.

The sound of rolling water came to the ears, like a note of death, which shocked the two groups of Kirigakure ninjas who came forward to help.

boom!

Another fishing net is spread out in the sea.

The Kirigakure ninjas of the second group were also successfully captured.

The third group of Kirigakure ninjas quickly panicked, stopped rescuing their companions, and swam back quickly, trying to escape from this sea area.

At this moment, a pair of huge red eyes lit up in the dark and deep depths of the seabed. A giant snake-shaped beast as large as a hill swam up from the depths of the seabed, causing the movement of the torrent and rushing towards the fleeing Kirigakure ninja tore open his **** mouth.

…

"Lord Liuli, the 30 Kirigakure ninjas responsible for reconnaissance above this sea area have all been captured."

In the command room, Oni no Kuni Jonin, who is in charge of commanding the operation, reported to Liuli who walked in.

Liuli wasn't surprised. They already knew all about the actions of Kirigakure's reconnaissance team, and now they just came out for a stroll, treating these Kirigakure ninjas as fish in a fishing net, and catching them was as simple as catching them.

"Go ahead. In addition, inform the fleets in Areas B and C that the nets can also be collected there."

"yes!"

The west sea area of ​​the ghost country is an uninhabited deserted island at the junction of the ghost country and the sea area of ​​other countries.

At this moment, this deserted island has been occupied by Kirigakure ninjas. They started to set up a camp on this deserted island without picking resources. Looking at their work, it seems that they plan to stay here for a long time.

A total of nearly 500 ninjas are the vanguard troops sent by Kirigakure this time. They set up a camp with 100 people, and 400 people patrolled the border waters of the deserted island.

The person in charge of scheduling work here is a middle-aged Jonin from the ghost lamp family. He arranges his personal work here in an orderly manner, without any panic, and seems to be able to handle it with ease.

The surrounding Kirigakure ninjas also respect and trust him very much.

As one of the few ninjas in Wuyin Village who possesses the secret technique and has a Mizukage, they naturally have a pivotal position in Wuyin Village.

Although due to the blood mist incident in the past, the ghost lamp clan was also strongly squeezed out by the blood mist faction, and the situation became difficult, but after the Fourth Mizukage came to power, the reputation of the ghost lamp clan and other ninja clans became stronger in the four generations of Mizukage. Under the arrangement, it gradually rectified its name and became an indispensable and important pillar of Kirigaki.

"Captain, there is a situation ahead!"

A Kirigakure ninja pointed to the sea ahead and yelled loudly at the Jonin of the ghost lamp clan.

"Huh? What's going on!"

The Jōnin of the Ghost Lamp clan leaped over to the position of the patrolling troop, raised his brows, and looked forward.

"I don't know, I just feel that a huge chakra is approaching here quickly!"

Kirigakure ninja, who was in charge of perception, could not help but sweat on his forehead. He had only felt this huge chakra in their Mizukage-sama, a chakra that surpassed the common sense of ninjas!

The sea area ahead was shrouded in thick white fog, and the visible range was very narrow.

In the depths of the white mist, accompanied by the sound of approaching dull footsteps, the thick white mist was covered with a huge shadow outline.

Boom!

Boom!

After the footsteps continued, the silhouette of the shadow on the white mist became clearer, and the dark red body began to appear faintly in the thick mist.

I saw the 'giant' stretch out its dark red arm, and gently swept aside. The white mist rolled around, and the warrior's head formed by the condensed chakra broke through the thick mist, and stuck its head out without warning. Come.

"This, this is—"

Seeing the dark red warrior giant condensed from pure chakra, like a towering giant tree, standing between the sky and the earth.

Just witnessing such a scene, the vision and spirit of the Kirigakure ninjas suffered an unprecedented double impact, their faces were shocked, and their brains went blank.

"Hurry up and get in touch with the headquarters, and inform Mizukage-sama—"

The jonin of the ghost lamp clan was the first to react from the shock, and realized something, no matter what, they must send the information here.

This sea area is no longer safe.

However, the moment he finished shouting these words, a cold female voice resounded in this sea area.

"Train!"

In an instant, screams of pain came and went.

The surface of the sea and the land of the deserted island were quickly covered by a net of lightning, and the endless thunder snakes wrapped around the bodies of the Kirigakure ninjas, paralyzing their nervous systems and stinging their flesh and blood!

The Jonin of the ghost lamp family who wanted to escape the impact with the technique of hydration also felt severe pain in his body. The terrifying thunder snake wrapped around his body, making his body more paralyzed than others.

"Oops, I'm not good at dealing with Thunder Dun..."

The face of the ghost clan's jonin twisted, and he realized that the faster he hydrated, the more violent his body's paralysis would be.

However, he did not succumb to this kind of thunder tunnel, and with his amazing willpower, he leaped into the air and rushed towards the contact point on the deserted island.

This place is no longer safe, but before that, the most important thing is to transmit the information here so that the headquarters can find out how to deal with it.

"Black Thunder!"

What moved faster than him was a cold voice from above.

The sound of the rolling waves and the screams in my ears all disappeared in an instant.

The endless darkness dyed the sea area, the deserted island, and the void into darkness.

When the vision returned to clarity, what appeared in the eyes of the Ghost Lamp Clan Jōnin was that all the Kirigakure ninjas except him were paralyzed by lightning and fell to the ground in an annihilated posture.

Boom!

Boom!

The Susanoo giant stepped on the sea, crushing the coastal reefs protruding from the sea, and a huge shadow shrouded it, swallowing the ghosts of the ghost clan.

◎

The country of ghosts, outside the western sea area, Guiku Gorge.

This is a strait formed by many deserted islands. Under the careful arrangement of Kirigakure Ninja, this strait has been established as an island fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

A large number of Kirigakure ninjas occupied every area of ​​these islands, and the patrolling troops blocked the islands layer by layer, forming a tightly guarded warning network.

On the main island of its area, there are the largest number of Kirigakure ninjas.

In the temporary meeting room, the jonin of Kirigakure, together with Mizukage, held a meeting here.

"Thirty reconnaissance teams, a total of 90 ninjas who are proficient in reconnaissance, have not heard from them since they sneaked into the western sea area of ​​the ghost country. Not only that, the third vanguard force at the border of the western sea area also completely disappeared three hours ago. Lost contact and disappeared. According to the report of the investigators, the desert island stronghold where the third vanguard is located has not been damaged in any way, and there is no blood left by the battle. The materials in the warehouse have not been looted either. Even the footprints are the same... It's as if all of them suddenly evaporated."

Kirigakure Jōnin, who was conducting intelligence summary work, read out in a dignified tone.

After he finished reading, the atmosphere in the meeting room was immediately replaced by heaviness, and every Kirigakure Kamishin who participated in the meeting realized that things had become tricky.

Not only was the reconnaissance team in charge of exploring the road annihilated, but even one of the three vanguard troops that were sent out also encountered a very strange situation and disappeared on the deserted island stronghold.

It can be said that the battle had just started, and the tentacles and ears scattered by Misty Hire encountered an unprecedented crisis.

This situation made them all unexpected.

It stands to reason that even if it is attacked by the large army of the ghost country, it is impossible for no news to come out.

What's more, on the deserted island stronghold, there were no traces of fighting between the two sides, not even blood.

Even if they gather here, the well-informed Kirigakure shinobi can't restore the third vanguard, what happened to the desert island stronghold, and what kind of means did the kingdom of ghosts take to make the five Hundreds of Kirigakure ninjas lost their trace without any resistance.

Whether the missing Kirigakure ninja is alive or dead is also unknown.

"This situation is really bad. Although we know that the kingdom of ghosts is not easy to deal with, we never thought that they would give us such a head-on blow...Warning? Or deterrence?"

The other Kirigakure kamishinobu sighed quietly.

As a neutral faction, he is actually unwilling to provoke a powerful country like the Kingdom of Ghosts, but the high-level meeting passed this resolution, so he can only follow the large army to the front line to fight against the Kingdom of Ghosts.

"The captain of the third vanguard is Ghost Light Chiyue. He is an experienced elite jounin in the village. His strength is close to that of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. A ninja like him, together with hundreds of ninjas under his command, is silent." Missing'. The battlefield has not yet left any traces of battle... This is really unbelievable, I dare not even think about it."

Another Kirigakure ninja spoke.

He is over fifty years old, his hair is already a little gray, but he is full of energy, and his seemingly cloudy eyes are shining brightly in the depths.

"Although the Allied Forces of the Four Nations dispatched nearly 20,000 ninjas in the first round of attack... Leaving aside Sand Yin, Konoha and Iwagakure have been severely hindered. Especially Konoha, according to intelligence, Sannin One of the assault troops that Jiraiya belongs to is currently being besieged in the eastern region of the bear country, in a dilemma."

"If we want to break the deadlock, we can only rely on our Kirigakure side now, but...the reconnaissance team and one of the three vanguard troops are all 'missing'. To be honest, I don't recommend launching an attack on the ghost country at this time. .”

A Kirigakure shinin looked at the map of the sea area with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Except for Ghost Cry Gorge, the west sea area of ​​Ghost Country, after the reconnaissance unit and the third vanguard unit were removed, for Kirigakure, it was a forbidden area full of blind spots.

If you enter rashly, you may be ambushed by the kingdom of ghosts, and even if the entire army is not wiped out, you will be severely injured.

Moreover, they are attacking the enemy's territory. If they don't have 'eyes' to open their vision, they will be doomed if they make a wrong step.

No one knows what kind of danger is hidden in the sea area on the west side of the ghost country surrounded by thick fog at this moment.

Following the discussions of the Kirigakure shinin, they were roughly divided into two factions. One faction advocated continuing to organize a reconnaissance team to respond to the attack of the Allied Powers and conduct reconnaissance of the battle situation in the western waters of the Oni Country, paving the way for the large forces to attack.

The other faction advocates full defense and waits for the kingdom of ghosts to show its flaws.

When the two factions were arguing endlessly, Yagura, who was sitting on the main seat, said:

"Reorganize the reconnaissance force. This task will be completed by the Fourth Conference Group. To respond to the Allied attack, we must establish our 'eyes' in the western waters."

Shui Ying's speech was almost a final decision, which immediately stopped the endless debate between the two factions who were arguing.

"Also, I want to verify something."

Yakura put his hands on the conference table, his eyes calmly glanced at the Jonin present, as if he was looking for something.

Some Jonin couldn't help but feel a sudden rush when Yakura glanced at them like this.

"Verification? What does this mean, Mizukage-sama?"

Some Kirigakures were puzzled.

"Mizukage-sama means that there is an inner ghost among us!"

The gray-haired Kirigakure Kamijino closed his eyes and sighed.

"The ghost!?"

The Kirigakure senior ninjas all changed their colors, and instantly realized what happened to Yakura's scrutinizing gaze.

Looking for suspicious persons among them.

"The reconnaissance team sent out, as well as the third vanguard force, were organized by ninjas with outstanding abilities in Hidden Mist. If the Kingdom of Ghosts hadn't known their course of action in advance, it would be impossible for the reconnaissance team and the third vanguard force to I couldn’t even make a sound, and disappeared from the western sea area. I seriously suspect that some of us have betrayed the interests of the village and colluded with the kingdom of ghosts for personal gain!”

Speaking of this, Yagura's eyes scanning everyone became more sharp.

Kirigakure Jōnin who was seen by him, some people looked straight at it calmly, thinking that they had not betrayed Kirigakure's interests, and there was no need to hide their heads and show their tails, while some people were afraid of Yakura's majesty, and lowered their heads slightly I froze my head, not knowing what to think.

"Of course, this is only a possibility. After all, I have great trust in the loyalty of everyone here to the village. But for the sake of the overall situation, I hope that starting today, everyone can supervise each other to prevent the loss of important information."

The dull look on Yakura's face disappeared, and a friendly smile appeared on his face.

But when Yakura showed such a smile, the hearts of the Kirigakure shinin became even more nervous.

This is a ruthless character who dared to launch a coup d'état without saying a word, and pushed Mizukage Mizukage out of power. They didn't think that Yagura, who showed such a smile, was sending a friendly signal to them.

Rather, Yagura, who showed such "goodwill", must have firmly believed in his heart that there was an inner ghost among them who betrayed the interests of the village.

Not only Yakura, but some dexterous Kirigakure Jōnin also strongly endorsed Yakura's point of view.

After all, if the action route of the reconnaissance team and the third vanguard force had not been exposed to the Kingdom of Ghosts, how could hundreds of people have disappeared quietly from the western sea area?

The problem here is really too big.

Among them, there must be an inner ghost!

With this thought in mind, Kirigakure Jomin didn't say anything, but looked at his colleagues, naturally with a sense of scrutiny, as if he was saying, "Could this person be a ghost?"

Kirigakure Jōnin, who was suspected, showed dissatisfaction on his face, but it was not easy to express it at the meeting. Similarly, they were also suspicious in their hearts. Among the Jōnin present, who is their own and who is the ghost.

◎

the next day.

The ten reconnaissance teams that dispersed lost contact again in the sea area to the west of the Ghost Country, and mysteriously disappeared from the sea area without any splash.

And it took less than ten minutes from entering the west sea area to disappearing.

It's as if the Kingdom of Ghosts has set up a net in advance in the sea area ahead, knowing in advance that the reconnaissance team of Wuyin Village will set off from here, and then run into the trap set by the Kingdom of Ghosts.

So much so that the patrolling Wuyin team felt a little nervous and flustered when they looked at the thick fog area on the west side of the ghost country.

In the depths of this invisible fog, it seemed that countless ferocious mouths were opened, waiting for them to come to the door on their own initiative, completely predicting the course of action of the Kirigakure reconnaissance team.

In the meeting room, compared to yesterday, the atmosphere in today's meeting room is more heavy, and even has a feeling of suffocation like falling into a quagmire, which makes people's hearts sink.

Yakura's expression was cold, and his fierce eyes swept towards the Junin sitting in the seat.

"The fourth meeting group, the second wave of reconnaissance team's action route was arranged by you, but within ten minutes after entering, they completely lost contact... Now, I need a reasonable explanation!"

"Mizu, Mizukage-sama, we did not leak the information! We definitely have no interest in betraying the village!"

A jonin from the fourth meeting group was sweating profusely and defended Yakura.

"Bastard, you didn't reveal it, could it be that I, Mizukage, did it?"

There was a bit of real anger in Yagura's tone, and the expression on his face became more gloomy.

Seeing Yakura so furious, the rest of the jonin in the meeting room also held their breath, not daring to take a breath.

They understand Yagura's mood at the moment, and repeated information leaks have made Kirigakure's 'eyes' unable to be placed out. In addition, the Allies are urging and pressing, and now they are neither advancing nor retreating.

In this dilemma, Yakura, the commander-in-chief of Kirigakure, was naturally extremely anxious.

What's more~www.readwn.com~ their Mizukage has a very irritable and irritable personality, and he is bloodthirsty and murderous by nature.

To offend his brow at this time, absolutely nothing good will happen.

"Of course it wasn't Mizukage-sama who leaked it, but we really didn't leak the information. Please trust us, Mizukage-sama!"

Jonin from the fourth meeting group responded anxiously.

"Unfortunately, as a Mizukage, I only believe in tangible evidence! Next, I will temporarily suspend the authority of your fourth meeting group, and Anbu will conduct a thorough investigation of all your johnin members. The rest of the group will continue to go back and formulate new Countermeasures, dismiss the meeting!"

Yakura dropped these words coldly, left his seat, and walked out of the conference room through the side door without delay.

The rest of the junin also stood up from their seats, glanced at the pale-faced junin of the fourth meeting group, discussed with each other, and then kept a vigilant distance from them.

From the current point of view, the fourth meeting group has the greatest possibility of collaborating with the ghost country.

Before the results of the investigation come out, we must keep a certain distance from the Fourth Conference Group to prevent being implicated.

Quite a few Kirigakure shinin couldn't help but feel pessimistic about this battle. Before they could fight head-on, Kirigakure's hands and eyes were restrained by the kingdom of ghosts, provoking the kingdom of ghosts. It really doesn't matter if this continues question?

They didn't think much about this question before, after all, the Four Nations Alliance gave them enough confidence. But now, important information about their Jonin Conference is frequently lost and obtained by the Kingdom of Ghosts, which makes them have to carefully consider—the consequences of failure!
