Escape From Konoha

Chapter 78 The Dark Hand in the Shadows

The garrison is a stroke of rich color in Konoha.

It was established during the ruling period of the second generation of Naruto Senju Feima, and all the members in it were served by ninjas of the Uchiha clan, who were responsible for maintaining the security of the village.

This is not only an affirmation of the strength of the ninjas of the Uchiha clan, but in a sense, it also means prevention and surveillance.

Because most of the ninjas of the Uchiha clan who have opened Sharingan are not very stable in mood, therefore, strict attention should be paid to these people.

But in any case, because the power of the guard team is too great, and Uchiha is Konoha's super-class blood successor limit ninja, based on this situation, even Hokage often sells them a face.

The guard building is where the members of the guard work. Most of the people who come and go here are ninjas of the Uchiha clan. Occasionally, there are ninjas or civilians who commit crimes. They are brought inside for instruction. These ninjas and civilians are probably It violated some rules in the village, but it was innocuous. It was a civil dispute, and the most it could do was to be detained for a few days and a half.

If the circumstances are serious, they will be sent to Konoha Prison for reform.

As for the work process, there is basically no need to report to the Hokage. As long as there are no major problems, the Hokage will not pay attention to such things.

Although there are already numerous complaints about the police force being arrogant and detaining people indiscriminately.

Some of them were truly wronged due to negligence, and some were fanning the flames behind the scenes to slander the Uchiha clan.

After joining the security force, Liuli saw such trivial things every day.

After all, it is very rare to find a spy in the village or encounter an enemy attacking Konoha.

Most of the time, the Guard is tasked with handling these civil disputes.

Even if it is handled well, most of them will not get a good reputation. Once it is not handled well, all kinds of complaints will come to your door.

In addition, most of the ninjas of the Uchiha family are very direct in their temper. When they can't help it, they will beat those who speak out loud, which will attract more people's accusations.

"It's so boring..."

Liuli stood inside the security force building, on the corridor on the third floor, looking at the crowd coming and going outside through the glass, and could clearly see two Uchiha ninjas of the security force in front of the square of the security force building, pressing down on several people After coming in, the two sides were quarreling fiercely in the square.

"It's boring, but this is what the security forces go through every day. Especially after retiring from the front line, it's hard to adapt to such a peaceful life."

The person who walked up to Ruri was Uchiha Jonin, Uchiha Fugaku.

He knew that Ruri had just been transferred to the security team from Sakumo's team and was unable to switch to his current identity for a while.

Unlike the exciting life of Sakumo's team, the work of the security team is indeed much more monotonous.

Fugaku didn't make any comments when he saw the dispute in front of the police building. This kind of situation has long been accustomed to it.

"This kind of thankless job should let the rest of the ninja clan join in. Our clan alone can't deal with the gossip and gossip of these people."

On the contrary to Fugaku, Liuli is not afraid of such unnecessary rumors, but if she hears or sees too much, it will make her bored.

Like a chattering fly.

There are too few ninjas and civilians in Konoha who can truly look at things rationally.

Someone like Sakumo is even rarer among the rare.

It's not that Uchiha has no friends in Konoha, but there are very few people who can be called friends.

There are also some neutral attitudes, and more complaints about the arrogant attitude of the guard.

This is also where Liuli is dissatisfied. If she is blamed, all the ninjas will be blamed together, which can share a lot of Uchiha's pressure.

And the addition of other ninja ninjas will make it easier to handle these civil disputes.

For example, the three clans of Inokacho, or Hinata, who are also members of the Blood Successor Boundary Ninja Clan, their secret arts and abilities are also arranged to serve in the guard team.

"But this is the backbone that only our Uchiha clan can carry, and if the power of the guard is distributed to the rest of the ninja clan, many people in the clan will have opinions."

As the only ninja who took the lead in founding Konoha, the Uchiha clan should enjoy this kind of treatment, instead of sitting on an equal footing with the rest of the ninja.

"Only one family maintains absolute power. How much power is divided will not affect the family's status in Konoha. People with discerning eyes will not underestimate us. As for those mediocre people, Uchiha's power is not for those idiots to watch."

This is how Liuli sees it.

Fu Yue didn't say anything, he knew that Liuli's strategy could not be passed at the family meeting and would be rejected by many people.

"By the way, aren't you on a mission outside?"

Liuli knows that Fuyue is currently serving in the Hokage faction, and forms a new team with the rest of the ninjas in the village to perform tasks.

"I also have a name in the security team, but after the mission is completed, I come back here to have a look. It's still the same as before, not much has changed."

Fugaku sighed.

"I kind of want to go out on a mission."

Liuli said this.

"Be patient, this is something that every Uchiha ninja will experience. Having said that, how much do you know about the Kaleidoscope Sharingan?"

Fugaku turned to chat with Ruri about other topics.

"You're asking the wrong person. I don't necessarily know as much about Kaleidoscope Sharingan as you do."

Liuli shook her head. In the past few years, she had met with Elder Sifang very few times. On the one hand, it was because of the mission, and on the other hand, she really felt that he was getting old.

It was no longer the elder in her mind who was full of wisdom and could give her a lot of effective experience.

Especially the incident at the root has always been a thorn in her heart.

If this thorn is not pulled out, she will feel that her thoughts cannot be understood.

"Elder Sifang's tone is very strict. The reason why he didn't say anything may be because the conditions for opening the Kaleidoscope Sharingan are very harsh for us."

Fugaku nodded and expressed his opinion.

With the information currently available, we can only guess such information.

For example, stronger emotional stimulation?

The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is such an evolved power.

If he was not convinced of the character of Elder Sifang, Fu Yue would feel that the so-called Kaleidoscope Sharingan is really just a legend.

Liuli is not very interested in this topic. For the kaleidoscope Sharingan, she also holds the idea that it is best to open it. If it cannot be opened, she will learn fairy art and use natural energy to fight.

One cannot be induced by power. To be truly powerful, one should turn power into a part of oneself, rather than simply becoming a puppet dominated by power.

The more one knows the infinite possibilities of natural energy, the human power is sometimes really small in the face of this vast and endless world.

No matter how powerful a ninja is, he cannot escape from this world. He needs this world to thrive.

People should be in awe of the world.

"Well, the person looking for you is here. I won't interrupt your date. Let's chat next time we have a chance."

Fugaku turned his head and saw something, smiled at Liuli, and then walked away knowingly.

On the opposite side of the corridor, Shiraishi was standing there. He came to see Liuli.

In the eyes of many Uchiha ninjas, Shiraishi is considered half an Uchiha.

What a genius child adopter.

Although I don't know why their Uchiha genius girl fell in love with such an ordinary man, I can only say that they have unique tastes. As outsiders, they only need blessings.

Sooner or later, you will have to marry into your family.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Shiraishi can come and go freely in the guard team where people are not allowed to visit. Occasionally, Uchiha ninjas will greet him, and Shiraishi will smile back at them.

Some Uchiha ninjas are very irritable, their attitudes are really arrogant, and some are easy to talk, at least they don't always say things like 'our Uchiha'.

On the rooftop of the Guard Building.

The breeze blew slowly, and Liuli was wearing a tight black ninja suit, leaning lightly on the railing on the edge of the roof, and asked first: "Is it because you don't have enough money to find me at a time like this?"

"Why do you think it has to do with money?"

Shiraishi suddenly felt helpless.

"Because every time you come to me suddenly, it's because of money issues."

Liuli is used to this.

"Although funds are indeed a bit tight, it is enough to squander it for now. I have other things to say to you this time."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Since it's not about money, it shouldn't be a very important thing.

"Insect Man and the others found a few remnants of the Uzumaki clan in the Kingdom of Tea."

Shiraishi told this information.

Liuli immediately looked at Shiraishi's face, and the relaxed posture disappeared from her body.

"Uzumaki clan?"

I want to confirm the authenticity of this information.

"Yes, the Uzumaki clan."

Shiraishi confirmed this.

"Haha, really, this is really interesting."

Even Liuli, a person who could ignore many things, couldn't help laughing when he heard the news.

Shiraishi nodded, showing that this was indeed the case.

Liuli's reaction was not beyond his expectation.

The reason why the organization was established was mostly due to Liuli's efforts. Although Shiraishi is the manager, Liuli's status in the organization cannot be denied.

To a certain extent, Liuli is the real commander of the organization, but he is just too lazy to take care of things.

It is really ironic that the Uzumaki clan, which has a close relationship with the Senju clan, is now in such dire straits that she, an Uchiha clan member, needs help.

After all, the Uchiha clan has been in a hostile relationship with the Senju clan for many years, and the relationship with the Uzumaki clan is naturally very bad.

I wonder what those dead ancestors of the Uzumaki clan who were friends with the Senju clan would think if Izumi had known them?

I really want to see what kind of complicated expression the First Hokage will show after learning about it.

Most of the existing sealing techniques in Konoha, including the sealing ninjutsu of tailed beasts, all come from the Uzumaki clan.

As a result, the Uzumaki country where the Uzumaki family lives is the neighboring country of the Fire country. The country was destroyed under the nose, and the clansmen fled everywhere, hiding their names and living a precarious life.

The current country of Whirlpool is full of destroyed ruins, and the population loss is very serious.

"I remember when I was in school, there was a red-haired transfer student in the next class. Her name seemed to be Uzumaki Kushina."

After laughing, Liuli's expression returned to calm, and she thought of something and said.

"That's right. The Uzumaki clan ninjas have very strong vitality and are very suitable for being Jinchuriki. They also possess a powerful sealing technique, the sealing technique that seals the nine tails, which was given to Konoha by the Uzumaki clan. They have strong vitality and are suitable for Jinchuriki. Using the sealing technique ensures that the tailed beast will no longer have the possibility of going berserk."

"So that's how it is. After being destroyed, I came to Konoha immediately... Is it related to Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Regarding the matter of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, this is Konoha's top secret, and it is impossible for Konoha's high-level officials to let irrelevant people know.

Although many people have already guessed who Konoha's former Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was, this is the most likely and most suitable candidate.

Mito Uzumaki - the wife of the first Hokage.

It is estimated that when the Uzumaki Kingdom perishes, the body will no longer be able to do so, so the young Uzumaki clansmen are needed as human powers to become the new container to seal the Nine Tails.

"She is very likely to be Nine-Tails Jinchuriki now. According to the information provided by the survivors of the Uzumaki Clan, Konoha did take one of their clansmen from the Uzumaki Clan at that time."

For Uzumaki Kushina, Shiraishi was not very impressed, but only remembered that the red hair was more vivid.

But contacting the information he got, and analyzing it back and forth, it is easy to get these answers.

Even if there are discrepancies, Uzumaki Kushina is a very important existence to Konoha's senior management.

Otherwise, it cannot be explained, the country of Uzumaki perished, and Konoha only brought back a little girl.

Apart from bringing back as the new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the other possibilities are not very great.

"Do you want to take advantage of Kyuubi?"

Baishi paid so much attention to the Uzumaki Clan, which gave Liuli this kind of guess.

Shiraishi once obtained a chakra with a tail guarding a crane on the battlefield, and obtained a lot of important information from the tailed beast chakra. It is only natural for Liuli to be interested in the other tailed beasts.

"As much as I want to, I haven't lost my mind to that."

Baishi knew how many catties and taels he had now, although he was not afraid of Konoha now, it was a judgment based on the premise that he could save his life.

If you really want to face off with such a large ninja village, you can only lose.

There are many taboos that Konoha cannot violate, and Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is one of them.

"I came to you not only to tell you this, but also to tell you something more important. You must be mentally prepared."

"What?"

Liuli asked with a frown.

"The high-level people in the village are researching the wooden escape, and they may have achieved very fruitful results now."

The country of tea, underground stronghold.

Zong Man stayed in the same room with a Uzumaki clansman to communicate. This was the oldest Uzumaki clansman among the eight people he rescued, and he was also the speaker among the eight people.

At this moment, he changed into clean clothes, the plaster and the smell on his body were also washed off, and he looked much more refreshed.

He is undoubtedly full of gratitude for the savior of Zong Nan.

Over the years, with his meager strength, he led his family to wander around in the ninja world. Since the Uzumaki Kingdom was destroyed, their family has not lived a peaceful day.

It's a bit ridiculous to say, but the life I lived after being captured by those wandering ninjas was the most stable life in these years.

Even if you eat moldy food every day, you are still happy.

Looking back on the glory of the Uzumaki clan in the past, compared with the current situation, the eyes can't help but feel sad.

"About your arrangements, the leader has given detailed instructions. We will help you settle in the ghost country, but in that case, you will need to remain anonymous temporarily, and you will not be exposed to public view. Wait until the time is right. Only then can we arrange for you to live under the sun."

Because the identity of the Uzumaki clan is too easy to cause trouble, and their organization currently does not plan to do something eye-catching.

Whether it is collecting intelligence or building strongholds, they are all carried out quietly.

"No problem, we are ready to remain anonymous."

The old man of the Uzumaki clan did not object to the leader's proposal, rather, it was very much in line with the current situation of the Uzumaki clan.

When the Uzumaki Kingdom was alive, they didn't feel this way, but with what they've seen and heard over the years, and the pain they've experienced, now it's enough to continue the blood of the Uzumaki clan.

"But don't worry, this time won't be too long. For us, you can share a lot of pressure from the whirlpool clan. Our organization has always been open to outstanding talents."

"May I ask, what does an organization do?"

The old man of the Uzumaki clan couldn't help but ask.

Now that you have decided to accept the blessing of this unknown organization, you must find out a thing or two about the purpose of the organization.

The worm man gave a very helpless smile: "Actually, I am just a moderate cadre. What is the purpose of the organization? I know very little. I can only feel that the leader is doing something very big. Things. What it is, you can only ask our leader yourself, and I am also curious about the answer."

When he said this, there was obvious awe in his tone.

The old man of the Uzumaki clan remained silent and did not ask any more questions.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, the insect man had no intention of staying here any longer.

"Then, then, you should rest here for a while. In a few days, we will arrange for someone to send you to the country of ghosts. It is a very peaceful country. I hope the peace there can sweep away the haze in your hearts."

After saying this, the insect man left the room.

The four team members outside had been waiting for him to come out of the room.

"How about comfort?"

"You've already come in. It's not easy to get out. Favors from the organization are not so easy to repay, let alone..."

The leader is also a research geek.

How can you spit out the fat that reaches your mouth?

They could hear the implication behind the insect man's words, and they all smiled knowingly.

"However, these people should still be hiding something from us."

The insect man stood there and pondered.

"hide?"

"These remnants of the Uzumaki clan who are scattered across the ninja world may have ways of contacting each other. Through these people, we may be able to find more remnants of the Uzumaki clan and absorb them into the organization."

“Do you want to play the long game to catch the big fish?”

"This is also what the leader means. In short, we should appease them first. When they see our sincerity, even if we don't take the initiative to mention it, they will come to us and ask us to tell the location of the remaining members of the Uzumaki clan so that we can save their people from the sea of ​​suffering. middle."

If it were an ordinary person, the insect man would not be so interested, but it was a different matter for the remnants of the Uzumaki clan.

Therefore, trust between both parties is key.

Asking them directly about the whereabouts of the other Uzumaki clan members would easily arouse resentment in their hearts and consume the meager trust they had managed to build up before.

The dark and damp cave looks incredibly wide.

The entire space is sealed, and there is no so-called exit.

A frail old man sat on a wooden chair made of trees. His face was covered with wrinkles and his hair was gray. His body was hunched even when he was sitting on the wooden chair.

His long white hair covered his right eye, leaving only his tightly closed left eye exposed. He sat on a chair and rested with a peaceful expression.

There was an object similar to a white strip connected to his back. At the other end of the white strip, it stretched into the endless darkness behind him, and the outlines of huge trees and fruits could be vaguely seen.

Not long after, the land in front of the old man suddenly squirmed slightly, and two pale-skinned humanoid creatures emerged from it.

The old man didn't open his eyes, but as if he knew there was someone in front of him, he asked:

"Still no definite news?"

The old man's voice was extremely old.

But when this old voice sounded, everything around seemed to stop and became the only loud thing in the darkness.

"No, the White Zetsu who was monitoring Nagato disappeared suddenly for some unknown reason. The other White Zetsu searched for a long time, but could not find the whereabouts of that White Zetsu."

One of the two white humanoids answered the old man.

"Madara-sama, could it be that Nagato discovered the traces of the White Zetsu and got rid of him?"

The other white humanoid creature took it upon itself to make random guesses and report to the old man.

"Idiot, based on the analysis of past intelligence, Nagato's use of the Rinnegan is still very immature. With Nagato's current power, there is no way to detect the traces of White Zetsu."

"But except for Nagato, none of his miscellaneous fish companions are aware of the existence of ninjas, so it is impossible to detect the traces of Bai Zetsu."

The white humanoid creature said with a puzzled expression.

And even a sensing ninja may not be able to detect traces of Bai Zetsu, unless it is a special sensing ninjutsu.

Or the pupil technique with very strong perspective ability like Baiyan, for them, it is much more troublesome than perceiving ninjas.

"Continue monitoring from Nagato, let A Fei also act together. In addition, send a few Bai Ze to Konoha."

The old man's voice sounded again, giving a clear order.

"Konoha? Madara-sama suspects Konoha and those people?"

"Not only because of Bai Zetsu's disappearance, I don't have much time left. Nagato alone is not enough to promote the 'Eye of the Moon' plan. I also need a spokesperson who can act on my behalf... Go ahead. "

The old man's tone was still contemptuous, but it gave people an undeniable deterrent.

"Yes, Madara-sama."

After the two white humanoid creatures retreated, the old man opened his closed left eye. It was a scarlet three-magatama Sharingan, which was particularly eye-catching in the dim environment.

"Hashirama... The future you entrusted has no place for peace... I won this time..."

In the darkness, the old man sighed with regret.

But saying this doesn't prove anything to anyone.

Because the man who was cherished by him all his life, who was both an opponent and a close friend, no longer exists in this world.

He slowly raised his hand and touched his chest lightly.

The wound that was stabbed open by that man felt like it happened just yesterday, and there was a trace of nostalgia on the old face.

Hashirama...
