Escape From Konoha

\"It's been a long time, why, you're not staying in your own laboratory, what's the point of coming to my place?\"

In the living room of the northern stronghold, Orochimaru met with the core member of the same organization as himself—Beliuhu.

Leaning against the soft sofa, Orochimaru smiled slightly at Beiruhu. He was obviously curious about Beiruhu's coming to find him.

Just like himself, Beiliuhu is obsessed with the research of the blood succession boundary, and he will never leave his laboratory if there is no special important matter.

Beiliuhu didn't answer Orochimaru's question directly, but twitched his nose slightly and frowned slightly.

\"The smell of blood here is still as strong as ever.\"

Although they are both researchers, Beiliuhu doesn't like this kind of **** experimental place.

Orochimaru is different here, even if it is sprayed with a lot of disinfectant and freshener, the **** smell is still difficult to get rid of.

It is not difficult to see that this stronghold suffered an extremely cruel "bloodbath" not long ago.

\"No way, I have disposed of a batch of experimental bodies before, and I haven't had time to clean them. Besides, this stronghold is almost abandoned, so I didn't think about cleaning it up again. But if you like, I can give you this stronghold .\"

Orochimaru spread his hands.

\"Excuse me, doing research in this kind of place, I feel that the whole person will become bad. Don't talk about these things, Oshemaru, the purpose of my coming to you this time is to buy some experimental materials through you raw material.\"

Bei Liuhu said without hesitation.

\"Didn't I just buy a batch for you half a year ago? You used it up so soon?\" Orochimaru raised his eyebrows.

Although he is also a researcher, Beiliuhu has not developed the Ninja Village power like him, so many things need to be done by himself.

The channels for purchasing various experimental materials and instruments are quite scarce.

\"The materials have long been used up, and the synthesis of beasts consumes more resources than imagined.\"

\"You should save a little. The raw material market in recent years has been very difficult to do, and it has been monopolized by big countries. It is difficult for scattered people like us to get a piece of meat from this market.\"

Orochimaru sighed helplessly.

With the reserves of Yinren Village, there is indeed no shortage of funds to purchase raw materials for experiments. However, companies that have raw materials in the market basically cooperate with big countries.

Firstly, the capital of the big country is more sufficient, and secondly, establishing a cooperative relationship with a big country can provide a strong guarantee for the company's business development in the future.

Small ninja villages like Yinnin village, which can't even be ranked, can occupy very little share.

The ghost country family monopolizes nearly 30%, the other big countries account for 60%, and the remaining 10% of raw materials is the turn of the small countries.

However, Tian Zhiguo, which is backed by Yinnin Village, is just a member of the small country. The remaining 10% must be shared equally with all the small countries that need raw materials. It is conceivable that the raw materials purchased every year are absolutely unsatisfactory. share of

As for snatching the share of raw materials from big countries, Orochimaru dare not even think about such a good thing.

Regardless of whether it is the kingdom of ghosts that is now in full swing, or other big countries that are slightly in decline, they are still unshakable giants for Yinnin Village.

What's more, now he is being completely targeted by Yunyin's ninjas.

Yun Yin wanted to use him to find Xiao behind him, and to take Erwei back, apparently pinching him as a soft persimmon.

Although in front of Yun Yin, who is extremely powerful in military power, as one of the Sannin, he is indeed a vulnerable group.

\"I have no way to find your side. In the past, there were merchant alliances on isolated islands, and we could find some ways from them, but the merchant alliances on isolated islands have long been taken down by the ghost kingdom. Look for it from the black market.\"

However, the price on the black market is a huge figure that Beiliuhu cannot bear alone.

The same amount of raw materials, but the price is dozens\\hundred times of the market price, it is simply stealing money.

\"I know, but I don't have many raw materials for you, and you need to figure out the remaining raw materials yourself.\"

\"That's enough. By the way, I forgot to tell you, on the way I came, I found that it wasn't just the cloud hidden ninja who was looking for you, the rock hidden ninja seemed to have joined the action.\"

Beiliuhu stood up from the sofa, suddenly remembered something, and gave Orochimaru a word of advice. \"Iwagakure?\" Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.

It didn't surprise him that Yun Yin stared at him.

But Iwagakure stared at him at this time, which surprised Orochimaru. \"I remember they are being held by the ghost country now...\"

\"Because they were led to hold them, they need to find the missing tailed beast even more. That Tsuchikage-sama doesn't seem to want the situation at the frontier, so he has been passive. Finding the lost tailed beast is a must. Their only turning point. Be careful, I don't want to hear the news that you were suddenly killed one day.\"

After finishing speaking, Beiliuhu stood up from the sofa, patted the wrinkles on the clothes, his figure shook, and disappeared into the air.

\"It seems that this stronghold can't stay anymore, we have to change to a more concealed stronghold.\" Beiliuhu left, but the news he brought made Orochimaru have to pay attention.

I originally planned to stay in this stronghold for a while, and wait until Sasuke's practice of immortality is completely stabilized before moving to other strongholds.

But now it seems that it has to be transferred in advance.◎

\"The above, the regular meeting in February is over here, do you have any questions to ask?\"

In the conference room, Shiraishi, who presided over the meeting, said so in a calm tone.

There were about 20 people sitting on the seats, all of whom were high-level personnel in the military system of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

These people respectively manage the important work in the military system such as combat\\logistics\\medicine\\research.

Therefore, not all those who participated were Jnin, and even a few of them were not even ninjas, but they had extremely intelligent brains, rich knowledge, and were authoritative figures in the research field. Their role in the military was beyond the reach of ordinary ninjas. Alternative high-end talents.

However, under normal circumstances, these high-level people who are biased towards the research field will not express their opinions at the meeting.

If they express their opinions at the meeting, then it is basically related to the organizational adjustment of the research department.

At this regular meeting, as expected, they put forward the work report for this month in abbreviated form, and sat there quietly, waiting for the end of the meeting.

Generally speaking, if there are no special circumstances, there will only be a regular meeting at the end of each month in the military meeting of the ghost country. It will last for about three to five hours to summarize the progress of a month's work. By the way, please contact me The connection between various departments prevents too alienation, which is not conducive to scheduling and organization.

After scanning around, to make sure that everyone present was okay, Bai Shi nodded.

\"Since you don't have any new questions, this month's regular meeting will officially end here. But I want to say something more, now is a critical period, and please don't relax in the future work. The meeting will be adjourned.\"

After Baishi finished speaking, he stood up from the seat, sorted out the documents reported by the various military departments in front of him, put them under his arm, and left the meeting room first.

For Baishi's vigorous and resolute attitude, everyone has long been familiar with it, and even took it for granted.

Although for the high-level executives who are active, this simple and straight-to-the-topic meeting lacks a bit of agility, but for the high-level executives of the research department where time is life, Shiraishi's meeting style is undoubtedly a hard-core supporter.

In the long corridor, one side is an inorganic white wall, and the other side is a window for ventilation. It is not a completely enclosed corridor.

Shiraishi stood at the window, looking at the scenery outside.

Spring is just around the corner, but the days of thaw are colder than usual.\"You look preoccupied, are you worried about something?\"

Liuli came out of the conference room, came to Baishi's side, looked at the scenery outside the window with him, and asked aloud.

\"I'm not worried, I just feel that it's an eventful time right now, and I've been dealing with other big countries as opponents before, so I'm going to be able to handle it with ease. But the next action, I don't think it will be so smooth.\"

Baishi heaved a sigh of relief, because the current situation is partly different from the previously established strategy.

It should be the problem caused by the excessive intervention of Mount Miaomu.

In the blueprint he and Yakura set up at the beginning, there is actually no location for Mt. Miaogi. Similarly, the Fourth Ninja World War is not included in the calculation.

The overreaction of big countries such as the Fire Nation exceeded his expectations.

Although the kingdom of ghosts has won the victory in this war by virtue of its own excellent strength, it also exposed too much strength and presented it on the bright side.

These powers, Shiraishi does not want to be used in this kind of meaningless war. Meaningless is Shiraishi's evaluation of the Fourth Ninja World War.

Indeed, in the eyes of outsiders, the kingdom of ghosts is the victor of the war. A piece of flesh has been torn from the four big countries, especially the kingdom of earth, which is completely suppressed by the kingdom of ghosts. At the same time, This war also changed the international situation.

No matter how you look at it, it should not be called a senseless war.

But the unplanned war, in Shiraishi's view, has no benefit except to prematurely consume and expose the power of the ghost kingdom.

In this way, many methods will be invalidated in the future, which is not conducive to the layout.

\"Everything in the world can't happen as you imagined. Now the Kingdom of Ghosts is strong enough to resist those unknown risks.\"

Liuli said so.

\"Of course I know about this kind of thing. Fortunately, there is no accident on Konoha's side. As long as this remains unchanged, we will occupy a dominant position, and we can make good use of this at that time.\"

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Shiraishi said meaningfully.◎

Sasuke locked himself in the room alone, and after reading the information Orochimaru gave him, he threw the scroll that recorded the information in the trash can and ignored it.

Then he lay on the bed without saying a word, with his hands behind his head, looking at the white ceiling, perhaps stimulated by this information, he began to fall into deep thought, recalling the past.

Images of parents, clansmen, Itachi, Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura and others flashed across his mind, making him unable to help but immerse himself in these past memories.

Even though I understand that remembering these things is meaningless to me at this time, as soon as I calm down, the faces of these people will appear in my mind, and I can't get rid of it.

Subconsciously, Sasuke took out a hand from the back of his head and put it in front of his eyes. The red Sharingan eyes opened, observing the lines on the palm.

Next, I will use these hands to avenge myself. All the efforts I am doing now are preparations for revenge.

And the day when he was about to kill his enemies, Sasuke felt that it was coming soon.

I am no longer that Konoha, the naive guy who would play boring bonding games with those Konoha ninjas.

I have learned to control natural energy, mastered the curse seal of Orochimaru, opened the Sangouyu Sharingan, and now I am still in touch with more advanced fairy arts...

Thinking of this, Sasuke felt that his heart was not as excited as imagined, but very calm.

Suddenly, the sound of knocking on the door broke the silence of the room, and Sasuke woke up from his meditation.

\"who?\"

Sasuke's red Sharingan turned slightly, looked towards the door, and made a faint sound.

\"It's me, Sasuke. I saw that you haven't come out since you returned to the room, so I'm a little worried. Besides, it's time for dinner now.\"

Chongwu's gentle voice came from outside the door.

Sasuke looked out of the window, the sky outside had become pitch black at some point.

Gently exhaling, Sasuke adjusted his physical condition, then got out of bed, and opened the door.

Chong Wu, who was almost a head taller than him, was standing outside the door waiting for him.

Different from the Chongwu in the runaway state, the Chongwu in the normal state not only has a gentle voice, but even the temperament on his face has a kind taste. Although he is unsmiling, it will make people feel at first glance that this is a person from the past. A gentle boy from the inside out.

\"Sasuke, are you okay?\"

Perhaps because of his sensitive nature, Shigego sensed an inexplicable change in Sasuke's state of mind.

\"It's okay, I've adjusted it, and it won't hinder tonight's practice.\"Sasuke replied calmly.\"I'm afraid that won't work.\"

Chonggo hesitated for a moment and said. \"What's wrong?\" Sasuke frowned, and slightly raised his head to look at Chonggo.

Chongwu thought for a while and said: \"Mr. Dou came to me just now, and said that he will transfer the base tomorrow, so that you and I don't practice tonight, and make preparations to salute.\"

\"Transfer base?\" Sasuke frowned deeper.

This stronghold didn't stay for long at all, why is it moving now?

\"Yes, I heard that Mr. Orochimaru was targeted by a group of troublesome ninjas. This kind of not-so-concealed stronghold has become unsafe and needs to be replaced.\"

Zhong Wu explained.

Sasuke began to ponder, making Orochimaru move his base so quickly, it seems that the ninja who is eyeing him has a lot of background.

Ordinary ninjas, there is no way to force Orochimaru to escape in such an 'embarrassed' way. \"I understand. Anyway, let's go to dinner first.\" Sasuke didn't think for long, and walked towards the restaurant.

\"good.\"

Shigego followed Sasuke like a loyal guard.◎

In the spacious underground space, a huge wooden man rose from the ground, with ten fingers standing upright, and chains on both wrists, as if imprisoned.

—Heretic Golem.

Nagato and Konan stood under the golem, jumped lightly, onto two of the fingers, and stood firmly.

Immediately afterwards, Nagato formed a mudra with both hands, and on the other eight fingers, the air began to vibrate slightly, and rainbow-colored ripples immediately emerged.

These rainbow-colored ripples, after a brief shake, condensed into a human figure on the fingers, male and female, firmly fixed on the fingers of the golem.

\"Huh? Is the meeting here this time?\"

Noticing that it was not a remote cave, or the snake nest provided by Orochimaru, but the underground space of the high tower of Yuyin Village, Kisame who appeared here as a rainbow phantom was quite surprised, and then regained his composure.

\"Long time no see, everyone.\"

Under the gaze of the rest of the people, Nagato greeted calmly.

\"It's really troublesome, I'm conducting an extremely important religious ceremony, you really pick your time.\"

After Nagato said hello, Hiduan's irritated voice sounded in the empty space. I believe that if he hadn't been concerned about Nagato's strength, he would have already yelled at him.

\"It doesn't matter how that kind of thing is.\" Scorpion said indifferently. He has no interest in religion.

\"Hey, Scorpion, are you looking for faults? Believe it or not, I will curse you, an atheist, to death?" Fei Duan pointed at Scorpion, very dissatisfied with Scorpion's profane behavior.

\"I'm just telling the truth, anyway, it's a long and meaningless wait. Moreover, even if you are immortal, you can't move after being poisoned.\"

Xie smiled lowly, and glanced at Fei Duan with inexplicable eyes.

Fei Duan felt a chill in his heart, and always felt that Scorpion's gaze became extremely terrifying. \"Scorpion, don't attack the organization's companions.\" Nagato gave Scorpion a sideways look, and warned him.

\"Isn't this very interesting? I'm also interested in immortality. Hiduan, do you have an idea to come to my place for an experiment?\"

Orochimaru laughed, and extended an invitation. He is also interested in Hidan's immortal body.

\"It's all good, let's get to the point quickly. I'm going to purchase the experimental raw materials that haven't been completed, so I don't have time to waste here.\"

Beiruhu's impatient voice sounded, urging Nagato to hurry up and get to the main topic of the meeting.

He had just left Orochimaru's stronghold for less than half a day, and now he was purchasing the remaining experimental raw materials outside, so it can be said that he was not at all prepared for this sudden organization meeting.

Kisame grinned, didn't say a word, just paid attention to everyone's words and expressions, and found it very interesting.

Itachi maintained a paralyzed face, and also ignored the communication with these people, and his sense of existence with Kisame continued to decrease.

\"Okay, now officially enter the topic of this meeting.\"

Nagato nodded, there was no emotion in Samsara's eyes, and he waited until everyone's eyes were focused before speaking in a calm tone:

\"That is about the sequence of catching tailed beasts. I have already drawn up a plan, and I will make adjustments that are different from before, and then assign the remaining tailed beasts to appropriate groups. Therefore, Please keep the content of the next meeting in mind...\"
