Escape From Konoha

In the depths of a rare forest - a huge underground space like a labyrinth.

Serpentine candlesticks burn with candles illuminating the passages of the labyrinth.

With a knock on the door, a hoarse and low male voice came from the room:

"Come in."

Holding a cylinder in his hand and wearing a ninja forehead guard from the Ninja Village on his head, the boy with six arms walked into the room.

There are various experimental equipment and human body materials in the room. The strange-shaped creatures soaked in the glass tube obviously have very strong life fluctuations, and they are not dead objects.

This is obviously a very top secret laboratory.

Although it wasn't the first time he came here, every time he saw the strange creatures soaked in the cylinder solution, the boy couldn't help shivering.

It is said that this is an ancient creature named dinosaur.

From ancient fossils, extract the DNA of dinosaurs, and then resurrect them with forbidden techniques, summoning them to the present era.

Under the supply of Chakra, this creature is more ferocious and cruel than the original ancient dinosaurs.

"Master Orochimaru, Mizuki brought back what you asked for."

The boy walked towards the center of the laboratory.

A black long-haired man with candle-like transparent skin stood there with a contemplative expression, as if he was thinking about something.

"Have you come back? Then go and arrange for him, Guitongmaru."

Orochimaru turned his head, glanced at the boy, and ordered him.

Orochimaru didn't expect that an idle chess piece could play such a big role today.

But this is also good, it can save him a lot of effort.

Even small roles can one day play a vital role.

What's more, this little character also has a strong ambition to climb up.

Even for a civilian without any background, he is an amazing guy.

Since the other party has proved his worth, then he will not be stingy to give the other party new power.

This kind of ambition will be useful one day sooner or later.

"Yes."

The boy named Guidoumaru's face sank.

Having said that, he put the cylindrical chakra storage on the table in front of Orochimaru. In the storage, a certain amount of nine-tailed chakra was stored, which is very important research material.

"Besides, this is something that Danzo entrusted Mizuki to bring, and it seems to be a new cooperation content."

Kitomaru also handed over a scroll.

"Put it here."

Orochimaru didn't pick it up, but said this sentence casually.

"Yes."

Kidoumaru put the scroll down and turned to leave the laboratory.

Orochimaru put the scroll aside, and had no time to deal with Danzo.

For the cooperation with Danzo, he is not so keen now.

Whether it is his own research on the forbidden technique of reincarnation, or the forbidden research that Nagato entrusted to him, with the materials and documents in Konoha's hands, there is no way to bring him any substantive help.

His path has long deviated from the original track of Konoha, and Nagato entrusted him with the research task, which is also related to the forbidden powers such as Samsara Eye and Ten Tails. Either way, Konoha is not deeply involved.

The rest of the research can only be done with your own hands.

Or to look for ancient kingdoms like Lieduo Kingdom, and from those kingdoms containing ancient civilizations, to obtain the materials and documents of the Six Paths Immortal Age can be helpful to his research.

However, in this kind of matter, maybe the research system of the country of ghosts can also bring new ideas to him.

Orochimaru heard Nagato say that Chiba Shiraishi can split his soul and integrate it into the yin and yang attribute chakra in order to create a powerful individual clone.

These avatars are independent in mind and have the power of different systems. A single avatar is not a threat, but once the avatars get together, it will become extremely difficult.

In the Konoha intelligence system, the existences such as Chiko and Tianyu were mistaken for ninjas of unknown origin, and the unknown things that annihilated thousands of sandyin ninjas were also suspected to be some mysterious and unknown psychic beasts.

But these intelligence information is actually misleading.

It wasn't a ninja at all, and it wasn't a psychic beast.

Those existences are all soul clones of Chiba Shiroishi. An unknown life form that is similar to humans, but is very different from humans in terms of life characteristics.

"Soul... Although they are all exploring life, the path I take is completely different."

Orochimaru was thoughtful.

From the profound meaning of the soul, he realized the true meaning of longevity.

And Chiba Shiraishi, in the profound meaning of the soul, realizes the creation of life.

Essentially they are studying the core of life.

The difference is that he focuses on the continuation of life, and wants to achieve the realm of immortality and immortality.

Chiba Shiraishi, on the other hand, pays more attention to the natural development of life itself. The vivid and independent clones are the proof.

But no matter which path reaches its limit, it is no different from the so-called 'God'.

Immortality and creation of life are things that only 'God' can do.

A look of regret flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.

The abilities involving soul and life forbidden techniques are too bizarre and unpredictable, just as he cannot share his forbidden reincarnation technique with others, and study the weakness of his reincarnation technique from the technique.

It is also impossible for Chiba Shiroishi to exchange the forbidden art of creating life with him, and discuss it with each other.

Because that is equivalent to exposing one's own weaknesses to outsiders without reservation.

Once the other party has a strange mind, especially if the other party has explored the art of life to a very deep level, then the consequences will be unimaginable.

This is different from the foundational technique of yin and yang escape. This technique of life is the source of their life and death.

Unless it is a close person who can entrust his life, this secret cannot be shared, nor can it be used to trade with outsiders.

For this, Orochimaru can only regret.

However, Orochimaru was not discouraged, and after a while of regret, he packed up his mood.

His golden snake pupils turned to the cylinder storage where the nine-tailed chakra was stored, and stuck out his tongue to lick his lips, revealing a horrifying smile on those who saw it.

"The nine-tailed chakra of the yang attribute is in hand, and the experiment can now be officially started."

I haven't had such a headache in a long time.

Since the meeting in the Land of Rain three years ago, in the past few years, the Japanese beheading has suffered such a headache once.

The throat seemed to be blocked by something, put down the pipe, and then sat down, coughing violently for a while.

Mizuki is missing.

It should have been possible to use the intelligence in Mizuki's head to catch a big fish, and even deal with more 'nails' in Konoha. However, due to the sudden disappearance of Mizuki from the interrogation room of the interrogation unit, the important secrets that Mizuki carried have also disappeared.

He did not hesitate to use the Nine-Tailed Man Zhuli and the Book of Seals as bait, and an important clue that was finally seduced disappeared in front of his eyes.

To say it is unwilling, it definitely exists. And it is quite unwilling.

There is also anger.

After clearing up the Anbu problem, the torture department has another problem.

Next, is it the turn to investigate the people in the intelligence class and perception class?

For this, it undoubtedly made Ri Zhan very sad and helpless.

But even so, Niizhan couldn't show his subordinate's worry on his face.

He adjusted his mood, endured the humiliation, and asked silently:

"...Are you sure it was made by Orochimaru?"

"Yes, judging from the traces on the scene, it is Orochimaru's ninjutsu. The residual substances also match the chakra characteristics of Orochimaru."

The head of the interrogation department, Ibishi Mori, replied.

Orochimaru used to be the ninja of Konoha. In Konoha, it naturally retains the chakra information of Orochimaru. As long as you collect some residual substances on the scene and take it to the research department to match, you can know what it is. Chakra traces left by people.

Although it may also be imitated by some kind of technique, the characteristics of chakra are the exclusive mark unique to each ninja, and even the clever camouflage technique cannot be completely consistent. Moreover, this point was also determined by the people in the research department.

"Not only that, but the residual substance seems to be very similar to the power of the curse mark on Miten Washing Red Bean Jonin."

In order to give this answer exactly, Ibishi came up with more convincing evidence.

Mitarai Red Bean is a special member of Konoha's Joinin.

Once a disciple of Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas.

Before Orochimaru left, he left a curse mark on the opponent's body, and Konoha also studied it, but in the end, because of the lack of core information, he could only use the sealing technique to barely suppress the power of the curse mark on the opponent's body. completely eradicated.

The day was silent.

His previous guess can be said to be completely wrong.

Mizuki is not a spy in the country of ghosts, but Orochimaru's team in Konoha, which has nothing to do with the country of ghosts.

Because he is too afraid of the country of ghosts, he must have neglected the prevention of Orochimaru.

This made Ri Zhan feel quite self-blame in his heart.

Although the kingdom of ghosts is a big problem for Konoha's confidants, Orochimaru is also a person who knows the roots of Konoha, and during the Konoha period, he was closer to Konoha's management core than Chiba Shiraishi and others. In terms of threat level, Orochimaru is not weaker than the country of ghosts.

In some respects, it may even surpass the land of ghosts.

At this moment, Kakashi entered the office after knocking on the door.

Seeing that Ibizi was also here, the two sides nodded to each other and said hello.

Later, Kakashi didn't care whether Ibizi was present or not, and reported directly: "Lord Naruto, Chunin Chie Tsubaki is missing."

Chie Tsubaki, has been listed as the fiancee of the B-rank Konoha defection ninja Mizuki.

It is also the only living relative of Mizuki. The two are childhood sweethearts and have been in love with each other since they were teenagers.

The two got engaged a few months ago and plan to get married this year.

Like Mizuki, Chie Tsubaki is also a chunin of Konoha. Unlike Mizuki who works at the ninja school, the other party is a logistics staff of Konoha Hospital and knows some medicine and medicine, but he is not a medical ninja.

"Who is her superior?"

"Masumi Asami, Director of the Pharmacy Department. Chie Tsubaki is in the Pharmacy Department and is in charge of delivering medicines and handling equipment. He suddenly disappeared while on duty last night."

Kakashi replied.

"Anbu was dispatched to assist Masumi Asami in the investigation, and Mizuki also dispatched a class of Anbu to continue to follow up. If it really doesn't work, just let it go."

Hiruzen sighed helplessly.

He also knew that if Anbu was sent to investigate at this time, it was impossible to find anything useful.

But she didn't say anything, and it seemed that Konoha's handling of this matter was a complete failure.

The only good news I got is that Naruto, who is the pillar force of the nine-tailed man, still has a very strong sense of belonging to Konoha, and there are no irreversible problems.

It's a fortune in misfortune.

If even the nine-tailed person Zhuli also had uncontrollable problems in this riot that he deliberately indulged, Hiizhan couldn't imagine such a situation.

"Yes."

"Both of you, go down, you can decide for yourself the aftermath."

The Anbu and the Torture Department have important things to deal with, and Hizen did not want to delay the work of Kakashi and Ibizi.

Kakashi and Ibizi didn't say anything, and seemed to know that Hizan was in a bad mood now, so they had to step out of the office together.

When he got outside, Ibizi sighed: "I always feel that the burden on Hokage-sama is getting heavier and heavier. If the candidate for the fifth Hokage can be decided as soon as possible, the situation may be much better."

"That can only depend on whether Tsunade-sama is willing or not. For this kind of thing, we just need to do our job well."

Kakashi replied.

The placement of the fifth Hokage is indeed a major event for Konoha.

For their level of Jōnin, they have a little bit of their own eyes and ears, and the thoughts of the high-level people on this matter are not difficult to guess.

Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, is already Konoha's enemy, and he ignores political affairs and is responsible for collecting intelligence for Konoha outside. And with the other party's escaping temperament, it is not suitable for the position of Hokage.

Whether it's Kakashi or Ibizi, I can't imagine what kind of person Jiraiya will do to Konoha when he becomes Hokage.

The only person who has the ability and reputation to serve as the fifth Hokage, only Tsunade is the only one who is qualified in the three ninjas.

As for the rest, they are either too old or too young, with insufficient qualifications to be qualified for the position of Hokage.

"I'll trouble you next, Kakashi. Investigating things like spies requires your help."

Ibiza turned her head and said.

"Ah, you can discuss this matter with Tianzang. I will temporarily leave the Anbu work for a while."

Kakashi scratched his head, embarrassed to say.

"Leave Anbu temporarily? What's going on here?"

Ibiza's face was full of surprise.

Kakashi is the Minister of Anbu, strictly speaking, is also the immediate boss of the Torture Department, because the Torture Department belongs to a branch of Anbu, just like the root.

Regarding the resignation of the Minister of Anbu, it is not big or small, but there was no news at all before, and Ibizi was indeed a little surprised to hear the news that Kakashi was leaving the Anbu.

Kakashi sighed and said, "Hey, I don't know what Hokage-sama thinks... Among the graduates of this year's ninja school, there is a special student. Hokage-sama hopes that I will personally lead the team and give guidance."

Ibby frowned.

Leading the team on Shinobi? No matter how you say this, Kakashi, the Minister of Anbu, can't get on the horse himself, right?

"Special students?"

"It's Sasuke Uchiha... However, now I might add a more troublesome kid."

Kakashi shook his head helplessly.

"The orphan of the Uchiha clan? That is indeed a bit of a headache."

As for the more troublesome kid... Ibizi thought about it a little more and knew who this more troublesome kid was.

The Nine-Tailed Man's Pillar Force Naruto Uzumaki.

I heard that the other party learned the multi-shadow cloning technique on the book of seals, and after borrowing the power of the nine tails, he defeated Mizuki.

With Naruto's tacit approval, he passed the "make-up exam" and successfully graduated from Ninja School.

Thinking of this, Ibizi looked at Kakashi with compassion.

These two, no matter which one it is, are hot potato-level existences, and the rest are afraid to avoid them and dare not provoke them.

The nine-tailed man Zhuli is okay to say, and Uchiha Sasuke... Maybe he will be targeted by the Uchiha clan in the land of ghosts.

Ibizi also understands why Hokage wants Kakashi to temporarily leave Anbu.

Among Konoha, it is estimated that Kakashi is the only one who can take over this task at present.

"I'm a hard worker by nature. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Investigate the internal affairs of the torture department. Please go to Tianzang. I have already said hello to him. When I go to lead the team, I think it is on vacation."

Kakashi reluctantly convinces himself with such an excuse.

"Thanks. Well, I'll take my leave. Happy 'vacation'."

Ibiza patted Kakashi on the shoulder, smiled, and disappeared from the spot with the instant body technique.

◎

Ghost country.

The forest at dusk was filled with thin white mist, which completely enveloped the huge forest with a radius of tens of kilometers, forming a Jedi that no one had detected.

Looking up at the sky that was about to darken, Asuka didn't know that this was the first time he sighed.

There was a lot of dust on his face and clothes, and he looked very embarrassed.

This forest, with a radius of tens of kilometers, is where the Ninja School Graduation Examination is held this year.

And the subject of this year's ninja school graduation exam - wild survival, intelligence interpretation and collection.

All the students who took the graduation exam had to live in the wild for a week in this huge forest.

Before the exam, the examiner confiscated all the students' ninja tools, only allowed the students to keep one kunai, and distributed simple survival props to each student, such as antipyretics, tea cups, and so on.

In addition to this, students cannot bring anything outside the rules.

Moreover, during the test, the students also faced the occasional sneak attack by the examiners who mixed into the forest. If they did not want to be harassed while sleeping, they had to hide and rest in a place where they would not be noticed by the examiners.

Once the examiner notices the trail, don't even think about resting in the forest with peace of mind.

Until the harassment by the examiner is unbearable and the test is abandoned.

The second item is to search for the three scrolls that belong to him hidden in the forest under the pressure of survival in the wild and the harassment of the examiner.

Each scroll comes with an exam question, and after opening the scroll, it must be interpreted on the spot.

Unfortunately, the examiners who entered the forest for harassment would occasionally take turns squatting at the scroll position to guard the arrival of the students.

Therefore, every time you get a scroll, you must quickly interpret the correct intelligence answer in the scroll, and then quickly leave the scene to avoid being targeted by the examiner.

Before entering the examination room, each student carries a map, and each map will mark the locations of the three reels belonging to their own information test questions, which is convenient for students to find.

And in each area of ​​the forest, a large number of monitors will be installed to observe the movements of each student to prevent students from having uncontrollable accidents during the exam.

"One day left..."

Asuka let out a tired breath and touched the three scrolls in the ninja kit.

The above information has been interpreted, and the rest is to stay in the forest until the end of the exam time.

If it is only for intelligence interpretation and collection, then he can leave the forest at this time and complete the graduation exam.

But intelligence interpretation and collection tasks are only part of the exam.

Surviving in the wild for a week is also a necessary step for the graduation exam.

In view of this, although Asuka complained in her heart, it was impossible to give up at this time.

Thinking that a few months later, there is a more difficult Chunin exam waiting for him, and it is the so-called joint Chunin exam, Asuka gave a wry smile.

It's hard to imagine how difficult it will be to take the final exam for the gentes.

With the elites of so many countries gathered together, Asuka has begun to retreat.

Just as he was bemoaning the joint Chunin exam a few months later, the sound of Sasha suddenly came from his ear, and someone was quickly approaching his position.

The bird's face changed, and the action simply flew away.

This group of examiners is really haunted, and their noses are as sensitive as dogs.

He didn't want the last day to be so unstable.

...

the next day.

When the sun's rays shone on the edge of the forest, the students who took their graduation exams in the forest returned to the camp on the same route they had entered the forest a week earlier in the face of the rising sun.

In front of the gate of the camp, more than a dozen ninja examiners have been standing there waiting for a long time.

"Congratulations on passing the exam successfully. From now on, you will officially become Genin."

An examiner said with a smile.

The students who walked out of the forest seemed to have put down all the burdens on their bodies and fell to the ground exhausted. When they heard the examiner announce that they had passed the exam and became a genin, there was no joy on their faces. Close your eyes, take a good rest for a day, and relieve your physical and mental fatigue.

In the foggy forest, you have to find the scrolls while preventing the harassment of the examiners, and survive in the wild for a week in the forest.

This is by no means an easy task for the students of Ninja School.

So that the joy of becoming a genin should be celebrated after rest.

Seeing that most of the students who walked out of the forest were either lying down or sitting in front of the camp and resting on their own, the examiners didn't care.

After all, they have come this way in the past.

Today's students are simply repeating what they have experienced in the past.

After all, most of the students here are fifteen or sixteen years old. Compared with other ninjas in the ninja village, they will graduate from the school three years later. Naturally, the difficulty of the graduation exam will also increase.

It would be too boring to take an exam like the three-body technique, and it would have no reference value.

They understand the exhaustion of the students at the moment~www.readwn.com~.

Asuka did not lie down, barely maintaining a standing posture, he came to his younger brother Cai who took the graduation exam with him.

There is also dust on the other side, but it is almost negligible, there is no tiredness on his face, and he is full of energy.

"Cai, seeing that you are in such good spirits, haven't you been harassed by the examiner these days?"

Seeing the energetic color, Asuka asked curiously.

Cai tilted his head, pondered for a moment, and said, "You said this, someone came to harass me at first, but after I knocked out all the examiners who came to harass and hung them on a tree, it became much quieter around me. Why? , Brother Asuka, didn't you pass the exam this way?"

He was puzzled by Asuka asking such a question.

"...Actually, I personally prefer peace, and I don't like using violence to solve problems."

There was no embarrassment on Asuka's face, and he answered with a decent face.
