Escape From Konoha

The latest website: Come to the shrine again, the air here is clean and clear, giving people a wonderful feeling of being able to wash away the filth of the soul.

However, in this clean and clear air, there is still a bit of biting cold.

That is not the chill caused by seasonal weather changes, but a more thorough and deeper cold.

There was no one in the empty hall, Baishi was the first visitor here, and the usual maids and guards hadn't come yet.

Behind the curtain, Maitreya Priestess could be seen sitting there, holding a softly crying baby girl in her arms.

As soon as Baishi walked over, Maitreya Maitreya over there had already said, "Mr. Baishi came so early."

"Because I feel that the atmosphere here has changed a bit, and with the nineteen months you mentioned, the production will end just this month, so I came here to take a look. It seems to be going well."

Shiraishi looked at the baby in Maitreya Miko's arms.

That should be Maitreya Miko's daughter Shion.

"Mr. Shiraishi should be able to perceive it with fairy art."

Maitreya Priestess must have asked such a sentence.

Shiraishi nodded, looking serious.

He could feel Maitreya Priestess's weakness at this moment, but on the contrary, the crying baby girl in her arms gave Shiraishi the feeling of facing the former Maitreya Priestess directly, lacking human breath.

Maitreya Miko's power is being transferred to the baby girl in her arms.

"But is it really okay to transfer power to the next generation in this way, Your Excellency Maitreya?"

Shiraishi asked.

"It doesn't matter, as long as I'm still alive, the power of sprites won't be able to touch the human world. If I'm gone in the future, Ziyuan will continue my work and suppress sprites again."

That sounds really sadly fatalistic.

However, there was no so-called sadness in Maitreya Priestess's tone, she just said these words while eating and drinking.

For the witch, this is probably the so-called fate, the responsibility that the witch must bear.

The evil fate that has been entangled with sprites since ancient times.

After a brief exchange, Shiraishi followed Maitreya to the side hall of the shrine.

The side hall is not very far from the main hall. It takes about a minute to walk there. The interior space of the side hall is very spacious. In the center is a round altar engraved with mysterious runes. Ancient stone gate.

The purple-black mist seeped through the cracks of the closed ancient stone gate to the outside world like threads.

Even if it is a perfect seal, it still cannot stop the erosion of the monsters on the other side of the stone gate.

The closer he gets to the stone gate, the heavier the mental pressure Shiraishi bears. The purple-black mist is like some kind of poison aimed at humans. Contact, probably already deprived of reason by this part of the darkness.

"this is…"

Even without Maitreya Miko's explanation, Shiraishi still had some guesses in his mind.

"The altar that seals the sprites. But here is only the soul of the sprites. I sealed the body in the ancestral hall of the swamp country in the past."

The Country of Marsh is also a neighboring country of the Country of Ghosts, but due to its small size and scarce population, Shiraishi has not included the Country of Marsh in his plan for the time being, because after taking care of the Country of You and the Country of Bears, the Country of Marsh is just as simple as picking something out of a pocket , at your fingertips.

Putting the baby in her arms in the cradle, Maitreya Priestess showed a rare kindness on her face.

Baishi looked at the position of Shimen, then at Maitreya, and at the baby girl in the cradle who slowly stopped crying, narrowing his eyes slightly.

This is not the first time he has come into contact with the power of sprites.

Nineteen months ago, he already felt that something was wrong.

Now using the fairy technique to perceive at close range, I feel that things are not as simple as I imagined.

The powers of sprites and Miko Maitreya are too similar.

It's just that the nature displayed is completely opposite.

The power of the witch gives people a feeling of being supreme and inviolable.

And the power of sprites is more like gathering all the dark and filthy parts of the human heart.

This kind of power is not just for ninjas, but for the human race.

Thinking deeply, maybe it is the sins of human beings who create monsters like sprites.

"Your Excellency Maitreya, I want to confirm, how long can the seal here continue to suppress monsters?"

Baishi looked at the ancient stone gate in the altar, the power of Maitreya Priestess remained on it, but the breath was very weak. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the seal is opened.

Therefore, Shiraishi must be prepared before the monster breaks through the seal, lest things happen suddenly and it is too late to stop the monster, causing chaos in the kingdom of ghosts.

According to the information collected by Shiraishi, the last spooky rebellion not only caused turmoil in the territory of the ghost country, but also affected many surrounding countries.

Shiraishi didn't want the kingdom of ghosts, which had been built with great difficulty, to be ravaged by monsters.

Moreover, the place where the ghost's soul is sealed is in the hinterland of the kingdom of ghosts. When the ghost is released from the trap, the disaster caused is immeasurable.

Maitreya hesitated for a moment and replied, "With my current strength, I can probably suppress monsters for five to ten years."

five to ten years? That said, it's an uncertain time.

This is not a good thing for Shiraishi.

"Then I'll let people from the Uzumaki Clan come over to strengthen the seal of the monster and extend his escape date."

The next five to ten years will be an important development period for the kingdom of ghosts. Even if the monster wants to get out of trouble, he must fight if he is fully prepared.

"No, the sealing technique of human beings is invalid for sprites."

Maitreya Miko shook her head, and said calmly to Shiraishi.

Baishi raised his eyebrows, approached the ancient stone gate in disbelief, pressed his palm lightly on the stone gate, and the celestial chakra began to circulate in the body, covering the ancient stone gate in the form of magic.

However, what surprised Baishi was that the ancient stone gate was indeed covered with Maitreya's sealing spell, and another layer of sealing spell was covered, but the purple-black mist was not reduced due to the double sealing technique.

This also meant that the sealing technique that Baishi had just cast was completely ineffective against sprites.

"It's really strange that the four-element sealing technique used to suppress demons is completely useless."

Obviously this sealing technique also has a strong binding effect on monsters like Zero Tail, why can't the sprites, who are also monsters, have the slightest effect?

Shiraishi frowned, thinking about the answer to this question.

"Spirits are not ordinary monsters. They are special monsters that are naturally formed by mixing all the darkness in human hearts with chakra. The only way to deal with it is to turn yourself into the opposite 'matter' of sprites, To restrain the sprites' actions."

Maitreya Miko explained.

"Can't it be solved from the root cause?"

"Theoretically, it can be solved from the root cause. That is to eliminate all human desires, and the sprites will disappear naturally. Otherwise, if you kill it once, human desires will be re-intertwined due to various karma and chance in the future. Fusion with Chakra to create a new 'sprite'."

The darkness residing in the depths of people's hearts is the root of sprites' survival.

Hearing Maitreya Miko's answer, Shiraishi sighed and confirmed some of his conjectures.

"The reason why we witches don't kill sprites, but seal them is because after a sprite dies once, it will be reborn in a random corner of the ninja world. It's more troublesome to find, and sprites need more wisdom. It is far beyond ordinary people, and it will be very troublesome if it becomes dormant and grows."

Maitreya Priestess continues to narrate the Priestess King.

Therefore, instead of killing the monsters, choosing to seal and suppress them is the best way that the witches of all ages can think of.

Otherwise, let the sprites be resurrected randomly somewhere in the ninja world, dormant for hundreds of years, I am afraid that the power of the shrine maiden will not be able to pose a threat to it.

"The fate of you witches is really heavy enough."

"It's like this after getting used to it. In fact, Mr. Shiraishi also has the potential to become a 'witch'."

"?"

The corner of Baishi's mouth twitched, not knowing how to answer.

"As long as Mr. Shiraishi is willing to abandon human selfishness, he will have the power to restrain monsters. However, this kind of thing must not be something Mr. Shiraishi would like to see. Mr. Shiraishi has more desires in his heart than many people."

Shiraishi remained silent, acquiescing to Maitreya Miko's point of view.

"Of course, having more desires does not mean evil. Using justice and evil to distinguish everything in the world is narrow in itself. Therefore, even if the sprites wipe out human beings one day, the problem must also appear on human beings. The creation of this part The most fundamental reason for the darkness is the countless wars waged by human beings for thousands of years. Every time a war breaks out, the sprites are at their strongest."

"Does Lord Maitreya hate ninjas?"

"Of course, including the Sage of the Six Paths who founded the Ninja sect, he is also one of the most disliked by the witches of all ages. Blindly trusting humans makes Chakra, a power that is derived from natural energy mutations, spread among humans. It led to the birth of monsters like sprites that can destroy human civilization, imposing many unnecessary missions on the witches. Including the people of this country, they always impose many unnecessary responsibilities on the witches."

When Mitreya Maitreya walked to the ancient stone gate, she seemed to be narrating to Baishi, and she seemed to be narrating her thoughts to the sprites on the other side of the stone gate.

"If it wasn't for this kind of mission, I would probably be able to become an ordinary girl and have the happiness of 'freedom'."

It's just that there was only a chilling sneer and mocking sound coming from behind Shimen.

"Sorry, Mr. Shiraishi, I seem to be complaining too much."

Maitreya Miko had an apologetic smile on her face.

"It doesn't matter. You are right. Humans always impose their will on others, including me. At least you are more like a human, aren't you?"

Maitreya Miko nodded.

Even witches have emotions and desires, but because they need to practice special powers, they will cover them up skillfully in normal times.

Occasionally, I will complain about life willfully, release the pressure and burden in my heart, and keep accumulating negative emotions in my heart. When it explodes, I may become another sprite.

Thinking of this, Baishi thought that when Maitreya Miko would not be alone, she would often talk to herself here to relieve the pressure, right?

"Mr. Shiraishi, I think you're thinking something impolite."

Maitreya Priestess seemed to see through Shiraishi's heart, and looked straight at him.

"No, I just admire the witches of the kingdom of ghosts throughout the ages, they are so loyal and responsible to protect human beings."

"Guardian? It's not so much a guardian, it's better to say it's the obsession left by the first generation of witches."

"Obsession?"

"Yeah." Maitreya Miko looked lovingly at her daughter Ziyuan in the cradle, and smiled at Shiraishi: "Perhaps all the shrine maidens in the kingdom of ghosts are actually the same person. After all, chakra is something that can be given to oneself. The wondrous power of consciousness."

◎

After staying in the shrine for less than an hour, Shiraishi walked out.

Halfway up the mountain, Shiraishi raised his head and looked at the shrine, which was far away from the earthly fireworks.

Before leaving the shrine, Shiraishi also received an affirmative answer from Maitreya Miko.

She will arrange for You Country, there is no need to deliberately arrange there. When the time is right, You Country will become a vassal of Ghost Country.

And the second thing...

Baishi looked at the purple scroll in his hand, and sighed in his heart.

He really didn't want to be a 'witch'.

In this scroll, it is recorded that the priestess' practice needs.

It is a cultivation system that is very different from the current chakra and fairy art systems.

It can be used to suppress all kinds of monsters, and even tailed beasts can be easily sealed after mastering the spells recorded in the scroll.

However, the cost of performing the spell is also very heavy.

That is to break away from the system of "human beings" and turn into a special kind of "substance" to exist in the world.

On the surface, it is human, but its essence has become a strange creature similar to sprites.

Although it is indeed tempting to easily suppress the power of tailed beasts, the disadvantage is that the threat to humans is reduced.

That is, the special attack power against monsters, tailed beasts, and alien creatures.

At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the mind is clean, and there should not be too much filth, otherwise the strength will be weakened...

Thinking of Liuli and Ayane, Shiraishi felt that the priestess' cultivation system was really too difficult for him.

Baishi looked at the sky, there was still some time before dark, and the research work on Tailed Beast and Zero Tail would continue.

Therefore, he carefully put away the scroll presented by Maitreya Priestess. Although he could not practice it himself, there were some methods of cultivation. Baishi felt that he could find another way, which could be used for reference in fairy arts to enhance the effect of sealing and perceiving ninjutsu.

On the way to the research institute, before entering the research institute to work, Ayane walked towards her.

"Shiraishi-kun, there is an important message from Konoha."

"Important information? Is there any new action from Yunyin?"

If there is any important information from Konoha, according to the existing intelligence system, Shiraishi can draw a conclusion that it is related to Yun Yin's movements.

"It has nothing to do with Yun Yin. They probably don't want to fight against Konoha for the time being. They just harass the border of the Fire Country without any pain, and fight back and forth with Konoha's border ninja troops. The important information I said, It's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Kushina who is pregnant."

Ayane shook her head, and then told Shiraishi the information she got.

"Nine-tailed Jinchuriki is pregnant?"

Shiraishi narrowed his eyes, as Ayane said, this is indeed an important piece of information.

◎

Konoha.

In a certain meeting room of the Hokage Building, there were a total of five people who participated in this important meeting here.

Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato.

The former Hokage Sarutobi Hiruza.

Shimura Danzo, the root leader of the half-suspended state.

As well as two high-level consultants, Mito Menyan and Zhuanzhu Xiaochun.

Uzumaki Kushina's pregnancy is not a trivial matter, and it is not related to Konoha's survival, but it must not be taken lightly.

Uzumaki Kushina is not only the wife of the Fourth Hokage Minato, but also Konoha's extremely important Jinchuriki. The strongest tailed beast Nine Tails is sealed in her body.

This means that Uzumaki Kushina's pregnancy is not just a matter of her alone, but a major event of the entire Konoha, which must be taken seriously.

At this time, no matter whether it was the retired Third Hokage Hiraku, or the consultants, they all let go of their prejudices.

Their meeting this time only had one topic, and that was how to ensure Uzumaki Kushina's smooth delivery during childbirth, and then protect her personal safety.

"Jiushinna has encountered two major crises in the past. One was almost abducted by the spy who infiltrated Yunyin, but fortunately, he was stopped by Minato at that time. Again, it was the defection that happened five years ago. Manipulated by Uchiha Ruri with Sharingan, it caused huge damage to the northeastern region of Konoha and the Forest of Death."

Turning to the bed, Xiaochun narrated, proving her level of concern for the pregnancy of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Kushina.

"At that time, the rebellion of the internal personnel was not expected, and the ninja war involved most of Konoha's energy, which gave those people an opportunity. But it also means that even inside Konoha, it is not absolutely safe. .I think that the protection of Jiu Xinnai can be raised to another level."

Mito Menyan nodded and expressed his opinion.

"Regarding this matter, the third generation has already communicated with me in advance, and decided to send two more classes of Anbu personnel. I also decided that Hatake Kakashi will lead a class of Anbu personnel to protect Kushina's side. .In addition, Kushina originally had two squads of Anbu guards, and there were a total of 20 Anbu ninjas to protect them. To be on the safe side, I also put a special Flying Thunder God Kunai beside Kushina."

Minato gave a brief overview of Kushina's security situation at the moment.

There are so many Anbu ninjas, more than half of them are jounin. The abilities involved in these Anbu ninjas cover perception, ninjutsu, physical jutsu, illusion, secret art, medical ninjutsu, sealing art, enchantment and other fields.

In addition to the Flying Thunder God Kunai he left behind, as long as Chakra is input into Kunai, he can perceive it through ninjutsu, and he can go to support it anytime and anywhere.

Regarding Minato's arrangement, Midai Hirizhan and the others nodded in agreement.

Indeed, even Hokage couldn't enjoy this level of protection, and no matter what enemy he encountered, he couldn't be broken in the first place.

Considering the importance of Kushina to Konoha, it is reasonable to have this level of protection.

With the discussion of Minato and others, the protection system around Kushina will be gradually improved to ensure that even if there is any problem with Kushina himself, it can be supported until the arrival of reinforcements.

Whether it's Minato or Hirazan, they both understand the importance of Kushina.

Anbu's human resources, in a silent tacit understanding, all began to lean towards Kushina.

During pregnancy, until the moment of childbirth, Anbu's concentrated power to protect Kushina will only become stronger and stronger.

This also means that Konoha's power will be further shrunk in the village, and Jonin will also minimize the time spent on missions to strengthen the village's defense capabilities.

"Not only that, but Jinchuriki has to cut off contact with the Uchiha clan before giving birth smoothly."

Danzo, who had been silent at the side, said these words suddenly.

Seeing the four people looking over, Danzo did not hesitate at all, and expressed his opinion: "Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto of the Uchiha clan have a close relationship, and Uchiha people can't believe it. If Uchiha people, Mastering the childbirth period of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki might lead to catastrophe."

Danzo's remarks are not groundless.

The defection incident that night five years ago, the huge loss caused to Konoha, is still vividly remembered by everyone.

Uchiha's ninjas can use Sharingan to control tailed beasts. Such things must be prevented from happening and cut off from the root.

After all, when the defection happened that night, Kushina's identity as Injuriki could no longer be concealed, and it was exposed to the eyes of many people.

Even if the password ban is issued, with the power of the Uchiha clan, it is not difficult to know.

"Danzo's words are not unreasonable. Uchiha Madara back then, and Uchiha Ruri a few years ago, they could use Sharingan to control tailed beasts. For the sake of Kushina's safety, let her be patient for a while. Female Churiki During childbirth, when the seal is weakest, all potential hidden dangers must be removed."

After going to bed, Koharu and Mito Menyan agreed with Danzo.

After thinking for a while, Minato and Hirazan also nodded in agreement.

Extraordinary times are also treated with extreme means. The most important job at present is to ensure the safety of Kushina, not only the Uchiha clan, but also the rest of the unnecessary interpersonal contacts. During this period, certain restrictions must be made.

In short, the people who know that Kushina is pregnant and the approximate date of delivery, except for those high-level people, can only be Anbu ninjas who participated in the mission.

After the meeting, five people left one after another.

Minato came to the roof of the building, looking at the street view of Konoha, as if he wanted to let out the boredom in his heart.

Not long after, Kakashi appeared not far behind Minato in the image of an Anbe ninja.

"Master Hokage."

"According to what I said before, Kushina's safety is up to you, Kakashi."

Minato turned around with a serious face, and said solemnly to Kakashi.

Kakashi is his most trusted subordinate, only letting Anbu, who is directly under Hirazan, protect Kushina, Minato is not particularly worried.

This is not because he is afraid that Hiruza will be unfavorable to Kushina. On the matter of protecting Kushina, he and the third Hokage stand firm.

Any dangerous elements that hurt Jiu Xinnai must be eliminated without mercy.

He asked Kakashi, his most trustworthy subordinate, to be in charge of Kushina's safety~www.readwn.com~ not only for the sake of Konoha's safety, but also to do his part for his wife.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

"Go."

Kakashi nodded, and the figure disappeared from the spot.

Although Minato trusted him a lot, Kakashi knew that he was not the kind of person Minato expected.

Sometimes, he is also very grateful for Minato's unquestionable trust, and he will be deeply caught between the identity of spy and Konoha ninja, falling into the entanglement of confusion and distress.

However, whenever I think of that man, holding the white-toothed dagger that once made great contributions to Konoha, ending his short life in an extremely shameful way...

Kakashi knew that the path he wanted to take and the path Konoha wanted to take were two parallel lines that had nothing to do with each other.

revenge!
