Escape From Konoha

Latest website: "Is this the country of ghosts?"

In Tsunade's impression, Oni's Country is just a neutral country located in a secluded place in the Ninja World.

But because it is a neutral country, this is one of the few paradises and pure lands in the ninja world.

In Konoha's records, the meaning is similar.

Peaceful, but didn't have much sense of presence in the ninja world before.

To say that it is different from other countries in the ninja world is that this is an unknown country.

The daimyo and aristocratic system have existed since thousands of years ago and are still being followed today.

A country without the jurisdiction of a daimyo, like the country of ghosts, can be said to be a maverick in the ninja world.

And the root of all this lies in the witches of the past in the kingdom of ghosts.

According to legend, every priestess leader in the kingdom of ghosts has the mysterious power to suppress monsters and predict the future.

Monster? From Tsunade's point of view, it might be something like a tailed beast.

After all, tailed beasts are also called monsters by the world.

The monsters in the kingdom of ghosts must be similar to tailed beasts.

The so-called suppression of monsters by the witches of the ghost country should be to seal the monsters in the body, becoming a sealing method similar to Jinzhuriki.

It's just that Tsunade knew after arriving in the land of the ghost country that the records about the ghost country in Konoha should be completely updated.

With roads extending in all directions, there is an endless stream of business travelers coming and going.

Even civilians walking on the road can wear bright and clean clothes.

This is naturally nothing among the leaves, but looking at the entire Fire Nation, most of the civilians are wearing coarse clothes, their complexions are sallow, the tax is very heavy, and their faces are mostly lifeless and lifeless. And once a certain place becomes rich, it will be attacked by bandits. Even if people continue to entrust missions to Konoha, the task of exterminating bandits can appear in Konoha thirty or fifty times a year.

But the country of ghosts is different. The villages and towns here are well-planned, there are many shops, and the residential and commercial areas are neatly arranged, giving people a pleasing feeling.

The most important thing is that there are guards in every township, armed with excellent weapons, strong in physique and full of spirit, who have obviously undergone militarized training, and are not random security agencies.

There is no shortage of important institutions that are conducive to people's livelihood, such as schools and medical care.

In terms of resources, it cannot be compared with Konoha, but the integrity of the organization seems to be no worse than Konoha.

But this is just a town, not a city in the kingdom of ghosts, let alone the capital.

Even the villages and towns are like this, those cities that are more affluent, Tsunade can't imagine what it will be like.

"Master Tsunade, the food here is delicious. Do you want me to buy some more to take with you? There is still a long way to Ziyuan City."

Shizune, who was following Tsunade, took the takoyaki bought from the roadside and ate it deliciously.

Shizune, who is already a girl, has a long appearance. She has learned medical ninjutsu from Tsunade all these years.

This time Tsunade went out to Konoha for 'business', and she was the only entourage.

Originally, Minato wanted to send two more guards to follow, but Tsunade flatly refused.

"Just eat it yourself."

Tsunade's focus is not on the delicious snacks of the ghost country, as well as the gorgeous and luxurious goods.

Her original purpose was to ask the witches in the kingdom of ghosts and ask about the prophecy.

In addition, I want to visit Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Company in the Kingdom of Ghosts, hoping to verify my knowledge of medical ninjutsu, or I hope that the Kingdom of Ghosts will further reach a cooperative relationship with Konoha in this regard.

This desire became stronger after coming to the kingdom of ghosts.

So much so that there is seriousness in the eyes.

This country is... strange and powerful.

But what is the specific strangeness, and what is the difference in essence compared with the Fire Nation, Tsunade couldn't figure it out for a while.

It can only be said that a country without a name is so unique.

"Is there something on your mind, Tsunade-sama?"

Mute to slow down the movement of eating.

"No, I'm just surprised that the system here is so perfect."

"Really? Isn't this normal? Konoha is more prosperous than here."

Mute didn't think there was anything strange.

Although this small town is good, it is still much worse than Konoha.

Both in terms of size and population, it is far less prosperous than Konoha.

Tsunade was a little speechless, and smiled wryly.

Over the years, she has always brought Shizune with her, and she didn't go out to perform missions a few times. She only focused on teaching her medical ninjutsu, but forgot the most important social practice.

Comparing Konoha Village, one of the most prosperous and prosperous villages in the Kingdom of Fire, with a little-known town in the Kingdom of Ghosts, Konoha has already lost.

"How about comparing it with the villages and towns in the Land of Fire?"

"Well…"

Mute is not stupid, and quickly thought of the key.

The prosperous areas of the Land of Fire are limited to a few places, and Mu is just one of them.

But along the way in the country of ghosts, there are no bandits running rampant in any area, and the streets are occasionally chaotic, and security personnel will soon come to stop them and push away the offenders.

"Remember when we entered the kingdom of ghosts?"

"Remember."

Mute nodded.

The gates to the kingdom of ghosts are strictly controlled by soldiers.

Incomparably strict inspections are carried out on the personnel coming and going.

If you don't have a clean ID, you will be blocked and unable to pass.

She and Tsunade also went through a series of strict reviews before they were allowed to enter. They were also given two short-term residence permits, valid for one month.

If it exceeds one month, they will be "invited" to leave the country.

If you want to continue to stay in the country of ghosts, you must apply for a long-term residence permit at the corresponding official agency.

If you enter illegally, or do not leave after the expiration date, special personnel will come and invite you to drink tea.

The management of residence, entry and exit, etc. is very strict.

This also means that there will be no unidentified people in the kingdom of ghosts.

A wanted ninja who defected would not be able to survive in this kind of country.

"Let's go."

"oh."

Not knowing what Tsunade was thinking, Shizune trotted after him with a lot of snacks and snacks in his arms.

◎

It took half a day to arrive at Ziyuan City by horse-drawn carriage.

As the capital of the ghost country, it is naturally more prosperous and majestic than the towns encountered on Tsunade Road.

The planning of the whole city, the buildings and the greening are arranged in an orderly manner without any clutter, and it looks clear at a glance.

Unlike Tsunade's point of attention, Shizune was completely attracted by the delicious food on the roadside, as well as the tall and neat buildings, and was dizzying to see.

Tsunade took a deep breath.

I underestimate this country a bit.

No, it should be said that all countries underestimate the country of ghosts.

Tsunade has never been to the country of ghosts before, and his understanding of the country of ghosts is limited to the things in books and some fragmentary information obtained in recent years.

With the rise of Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Company, people's impression of the ghost country is no longer limited to the word witch, and the pharmaceutical industry is also developed.

But looking at it now, it's not just that.

In terms of development in other aspects, the Kingdom of Ghosts is not far behind, as evidenced by the big businessmen who come and go.

Due to some personal reasons, Tsunade has very close contacts with businessmen from various countries. Many stores in Ziyuan City are marked with the famous brands of international companies. Behind these companies, those well-known businessmen are behind the scenes.

Businessmen are mercenary, if they don't get any real benefits in the ghost country, it will be very difficult for them to stay in the ghost country.

There is only one reason for them to gather in the ghost country now. The ghost country can bring them huge benefits, so they have to come here to cooperate with the ghost country's chamber of commerce.

Therefore, Tsunade is not surprised that one day the kingdom of ghosts surpasses the kingdom of fire economically.

Perhaps, the GDP of the Kingdom of Ghosts in recent years is already very close to the Kingdom of Fire.

With the help of the third ninja world war, Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. aggressively expanded its branches, and its brand became popular among the people. It collected a lot of funds from various countries in the ninja world. Even Konoha, which had a relatively complete medical structure, became Get lazy and buy a large amount of medicine from Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Company every year.

This is true of Konoha with a relatively complete medical structure, not to mention the rest of the Ninja Village, the inertia is probably more serious than Konoha.

If one day Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Company no longer supplies medicines, the consequence is just thinking about it, and Tsunade's back is covered in cold sweat.

Fortunately, the Kingdom of Ghosts is a neutral country, not a member of the five major powers. It has no ambition to expand its territory, will not favor any side, and treats all countries equally.

It is better for such a country to remain neutral. Tsunade thought to himself.

From a personal standpoint, she admires the various policies of the Ghost Kingdom, but she is a Konoha ninja, and behind her stands the entire Fire Kingdom.

If the kingdom of ghosts continues to develop at this terrible speed, sooner or later it will affect the country of fire, affect the total production value of the country of fire, and then affect the development of Konoha.

Once the GDP of the Land of Fire decreases, the funds supplied to Konoha will decrease, which is something Tsunade does not want to see.

However, how to report this matter to Konoha, Tsunade thinks it is better to report to Minato, the newly appointed Hokage, after meeting the shrine maiden.

Tsunade found the diplomat of the ghost country who met him in Ziyuan City.

Tsunade's visit to the Oni Land this time is with Konoha's official documents, which is a diplomatic matter.

Otherwise, Tsunade wouldn't be able to see the shrine maiden from the kingdom of ghosts herself.

The maiden of the ghost country is no less noble than the daimyo of a country, and she is the king of a country.

The process of meeting the witch is very cumbersome.

Tsunade is not from the land of ghosts, so without this method, if you want to see the shrine maiden, you can only see the mood of the other party.

Even if the other party is unwilling to meet him, Tsunade can't find a reason to refute.

But with Konoha's official documents, there is no need for so much trouble.

"Your Excellency Tsunade, I am very sorry, His Highness Maitreya is temporarily unable to meet anyone."

The diplomat from the Oni Land handed back Konoha's documents, and replied to Tsunade with an apologetic expression.

"What does this mean? Why do you say that you can't see anyone temporarily?"

Tsunade was taken aback.

"Since May of last year, His Highness Maitreya has withdrawn the maids and guards from the shrine palace, and issued an order that within 19 months, no one is allowed to approach the shrine where she is."

"Did something happen?"

"People in the military may know that as soon as the order is issued, the army will surround the shrine and prohibit anyone from entering. But in my opinion, it should be related to monsters. His Highness Maitreya does not want the disaster of monsters to affect ordinary people. "

The diplomat replied.

Monster? Tsunade frowned.

Is it a monster that has been passed down from generation to generation in the kingdom of ghosts?

In Konoha's classics, there is indeed a record that every few decades, there will be a disaster caused by monsters in the kingdom of ghosts. Every time a disaster occurs, it is sealed by the witch herself.

Could it be that the kingdom of ghosts has reached the moment when monsters once again cause disasters in decades?

It seems that the time has come. Tsunade sighed inwardly.

"If Your Excellency Tsunade has any important matters to discuss with His Highness Maitreya, please come back after a few months after His Highness Maitreya lifts the ban."

"I heard that the country of ghosts is now ruled by the military. Is there such a thing?"

"I don't know much about this matter, but the actions of the military have always been instructed by His Highness Maitreya himself."

The diplomat answered with impunity.

"Then can I go and visit?"

"This requires the instruction of His Highness Maitreya. The will of the military is determined by His Highness Maitreya."

To put it simply, it means refusing Tsunade to investigate the Oni Country military.

As for the will of the military, whether it is determined by Maitreya the Miko, Tsunade is not an insider of the kingdom of ghosts, so naturally he doesn't know.

It's just that many places in this country reveal a mysterious and weird feeling.

Tsunade wanted to gather more information about this country.

She already has a general understanding of the prosperity and benefits system of the ghost country.

The most important remaining military forces require careful understanding.

But from the current point of view, the people of Ghost Country will not let her use Konoha's official identity to investigate the military's reality.

That's right, how can a country's military power be known to outsiders casually.

For now, I don’t know more about this country, so let’s investigate slowly in the future.

"Let's go, mute."

After leaving the diplomat's residence, Tsunade said something to Shizune.

"Don't Tsunade-sama go to Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Company?"

"No."

It is no longer necessary.

The country of ghosts has strict censorship in all aspects, and the technical protection of Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Company is even stricter. So far, there has been no theft.

Otherwise, those barbarians in Yunyin Village would not have remained silent until now.

It may have been tested early, but the people who were sent over have most likely evaporated.

"Shall we go to another country next, Tsunade-sama?"

"Well, but before going to other countries, there is still a place to go."

A smile appeared on Tsunade's face.

"Where?"

"The headquarters of the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce."

"Aster Flower Merchant Guild? What are you doing there?"

Shizune looked bewildered.

It was a place where businessmen only went to talk about work. Tsunade was not interested in doing business. Going to the headquarters of the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce was of little significance to Shizune.

"The Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce is one of the few super-large chambers of commerce in the ninja world. I have already studied it, especially in terms of loans. The business chain is complete, the interest is not high, and it has an excellent reputation in the industry."

"Loan, loan!? Tsunade-sama, don't you mean to..."

Shi Jing suddenly thought of something, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

"That's right!" Tsunade showed a bright smile on his face: "The business is done, and then it's my turn to personal affairs. This is the top priority, Shizune, don't say something frustrating at this time, otherwise I'll throw you back to Konoha."

"But like this, why do you need a loan? Master Minato, didn't you give us five hundred thousand taels of public funds?"

And what is the most important thing, in Jing Yin's view, it is easy to teach children to gamble.

I really don't know where Tsunade-sama's bad habits came from. I really should teach him about the source of all evil.

Shizune thought angrily.

"Cut, what's five hundred thousand taels worth? Throw a few dice and it'll be gone. That boy Minato is real, he only gave me five hundred thousand taels of public money, and I'm going to chew some of my ears with Jiu Xinnai in the future."

Tsunade complained on the street, caring about no one else.

Shizune couldn't laugh or cry, she didn't know what to say Tsunade was good.

Now that Konoha is in ruins, and has not been buffered from the shadow of the war, how can there be so much money squandered.

Besides, five hundred thousand taels is not a lot. They usually live frugally, which is enough for them to travel for a long time.

◎

Tsunade left within a week after arriving in Oni Land.

Afterwards, Tsunade also wrote a letter, writing down what he saw and heard in the ghost country in detail, and sent it back to Konoha through a secret channel.

Within a few days, Minato received a letter from Tsunade.

"The kingdom of ghosts..."

Although Tsunade wrote a lot of opinions about the kingdom of ghosts in the letter, Minato, who lacks sufficient knowledge, still doesn't understand where Tsunade's focus is.

However, Minato can see that Tsunade attaches great importance to the Oni Country.

So Minato sent people to find Lu Jiu.

The other party was born in the Nara family, with a flexible mind and a good grasp of the overall situation.

During the Third Ninja War, and also at the meeting, many refreshing strategies were put forward to reduce the loss of Konoha.

Lu Jiu picked up Tsunade's letter and quickly scanned it.

"How about it, Shikahisa? What do you think of Tsunade-sama's proposal?"

"Well... how should I put it, although I can't imagine the specific intentions of Master Tsunade, there are some things that are worth learning from. For example, this kind of children's mental health hospital is helpful for children's physical and mental health, and prevents children from being overwhelmed by mental trauma. going astray in the future."

Lu Jiu gave a sharp answer.

At the same time, he also has a heart for the ghost country.

Children's psychological medicine, there are also medical ninjas as powerful as Tsunade in the land of ghosts, and they have seen the essence of things that many people have not noticed.

Those children who have not grown up are the real future of the country and the village.

It can be said that children's psychological medicine is very important to the profession of ninja.

"Is that so? Then I'll ask the daimyo for instructions."

Konoha's development funds all come from the fire kingdom daimyo and nobles. Without their assistance, Konoha's development cannot be said to be completely stagnant, but most industries will stagnate.

For example, during the Second Ninja World War, the medical reform proposed by Tsunade would not have been possible without the help of daimyo.

It just so happens that he also needs enough performance to stabilize his position and make more ninjas in the village trust his ability to govern.

"Wait, not now."

Lu Jiu interrupted.

"Why?"

"Because the funds involved are too huge. Konoha currently has a lot of funds, because of the follow-up effects of the war, they are all invested in cultivating ninja strength and pensions, and there is not much development funds."

"How much do you need?"

Minato paused slightly, and asked Lu Jiu.

"The initial investment is the sum of Konoha's ten-year military expenditure."

Lu Jiu gave an almost desperate figure.

Minato's hand trembling as he picked up the pen.

"so much?"

"If you want to complete the restructuring mentioned in Tsunade-sama's letter, the investment in the early stage is only a lot. As for the later stage, it is an astronomical figure. And money alone is not enough, you need a suitable system and professionals. These Konohas are all No, it would be another huge expense."

Lu Jiu's face was heavy.

What Konoha needs now is to cultivate health and rest, but now because of the impact of the war, Konoha is still struggling, so how can there be any spare money to develop other industries.

"The ghost country of the neutral country is so rich."

"It should be related to the previous war."

Lu Jiu thought for a moment and answered.

"war?"

"Yes. In Konoha, there are now a total of six branches of Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Company. The quality of medicines is excellent and the variety is complete. Whether it is medicines for ninjas or medicines for ordinary people, everything is available. Take breast enhancement As far as medicine and cosmetic medicine are concerned... ahem."

Lu Jiu gave Minato a look.

Opening up the market with ninja wars, from military use to civilian use, Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Company has completed all layouts, thoroughly rooted in ninja countries, and become a giant in the pharmaceutical industry.

Even Konoha should be polite to Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Company.

Minato smiled wryly.

Indeed, the so-called breast enhancement drugs and beauty drugs are not very attractive to men. However, for women, even many female ninjas in Konoha have become obsessed with this drug, which can be seen.

Body and face are the lifeblood of a woman.

In his family, Jiu Xinnai bought several bottles of such high-end medicines to contribute to the construction and development of the ghost country.

And this is just Konoha, the other four ninja villages, and important towns in other countries, the situation is similar if you think about it.

"I see, the restructuring matter, let's discuss it at the Jōnin Conference in a few years. The daimyo also needs to obtain consent."

After sitting in Hokage's seat, Minato understood how heavy the burden on Hokage was, which was completely different from what he thought when he was a child.

Hokage doesn't just do what he wants, especially the pressure exerted by the daimyo can make it difficult for Konoha to move.

Moreover, the interior of Konoha is not peaceful now.

Although he had successfully restricted the movements of Nebu and Danzo before, Minato knew that he and the third generation Hirzen had already torn their faces.

The recruitment of personnel from Anbu has not been effective for a long time.

There are still very few people who can use it.

Inokacho needs to stay by her side to guard against the counterattack of the third Naruto Hiruzen. The only thing she can use is Kakashi.

Now he can't even solve Konoha's internal affairs. The various attractive restructuring policies mentioned in Tsunade's letter may not be officially implemented even after a few years.

Because after dealing with the internal affairs of Konoha, and having to drag the daimyo for a long time, it is more difficult than dealing with the chaos inside Konoha.

Minato started to have a headache.

Seeing Minato's distress, Lu Jiu was about to offer some words of relief when there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Minato calmed down and let the person who knocked on the door come in.

A Chunin entered and presented a scroll.

"Master Hokage, this is an urgent letter from the Land of Snow."

"Snow Country? Where is the messenger?"

Minato reacted.

"He is being rescued in the hospital. When he came, he was covered in injuries."

Chunin replied.

"It seems that something happened inside Snow Country."

Lu Jiu stroked his chin, guessing.

Minato opened the scroll, and after reading the above content, his face was solemn ~www.readwn.com~ and said to the Chunin:

"Call Kakashi on vacation, I have an important task for him."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

The Chunin continued to pay respect.

"It seems that Kakashi's vacation has been wasted again. He has just recovered from his injury."

Lu Jiu had a smile on his face.

Minato sighed and looked out the window at the scenery of Konoha.

"No way, there are too many restrictions on me, Kakashi is the only candidate."

"Indeed. But the Snow Country is adjacent to the Ghost Country. After Kakashi completes the mission, let him go to the Ghost Country to investigate. I'm also curious about this country."

Hearing Shikaku's suggestion, Minato nodded, he thought the same way.
