Escape From Konoha

"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.

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 clan members 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, UU reading www.uukanshu.com fixed his eyes on the front, 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 Heijue and Baijue, 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 meeting room, to be honest, was a little too deserted.
