MTL - Escape From Konoha-v2 Chapter 12 Akatsuki's actions
"It looks like the matter has been resolved."
In the quiet and dark park, Ayane tapped her chin while listening to the report of the Hinata branch ninja.
"Yeah, I didn't expect things to be resolved so easily."
The branch ninja also sighed with emotion.
The matter that had caused the whole Hinata clan a headache was solved in three or two times. From this point of view, he also realized that Ayane was not just as simple as having force.
Yunyin has already given news, as long as Konoha doesn't pursue their murder of Mizuno Kamijin, then Yunyin will not pursue the fact that the head of the Hyuga clan killed their Yunyin mission leader, which is considered to cancel each other out. fault.
This is also of course, in the direction of public opinion of Mizuno Kamino, Konoha occupies the commanding heights, and the situation is not good for Yunyin.
In addition to the big names of the two countries, they also do not want to continue the war.
Both economies have been traumatized to varying degrees by the years-long war.
Yun Yin only used the internal disagreement of Konoha to put pressure on the Hyuga clan.
Now that the root has completely messed up the situation, Yun Yin naturally has no way to benefit from it.
But on the contrary, it is inevitable that the root will be liquidated by the three generations of Hokage after that.
As the dark side of Konoha, it is reasonable to have such a means at the root, but no matter what, it is indirectly helping the Hinata clan.
There may be a game between high-level officials in it.
"As long as you know how to take advantage of the general trend, Yun Yin's methods are disgraceful, and you can fight back with the same disgraceful methods."
Ayane never took it to heart.
This kind of thing, he has seen too much in the country of ghosts.
It just so happens that this is also the field that the roots are best at. For the things that the Hinata clan and the Konoha conservatives are not suitable for, it is most suitable for the roots to come forward.
As long as the root can be asked to make a move, the price can be afforded, and the root can withstand the pressure in front, the face of the Hyuga clan can be preserved.
"But in this way, the branch family has also been suspected by Hokage and the Zong family, and the next day does not seem to be very good."
The split ninja frowned in distress.
"Does it matter? As long as you are honest, you don't need them to grasp the evidence."
Ayane sneered.
Originally, after she left, the split family had always been suspected by the Zong family and Hokage, but now this impression has only been reinforced.
As the saying goes, there are more lice than itching. No matter how much you suspect the separation, it is a painless behavior for the current Hyuga separation.
"Having said that, Ayane-sama, did you really join forces with Danzo?"
The Branch Ninja is very concerned about this.
On the surface, the matter was taken lightly by the roots.
However, the roots will be somewhat suppressed and balanced by the three generations of Hokage in the future.
The roots, which have finally developed and improved a little, suffered a blow at this time is definitely not the style of the leader of the roots, Tuanzang.
If there were no people from the Hyuga clan here who had contact with Danzo, Danzo would not be able to be so righteous and awe-inspiring.
Intervening in games between high-level leaders has always been expressly prohibited by the Hinata clan.
Whether it is the clan or the branch, neither can participate in the game between the high-level.
As long as the Hyuga clan still holds the bloodline boundary of Baiyan, Konoha will not be able to leave the Hyuga clan, and the status of the Hyuga clan will not be reduced.
Amidst the turbulent torrents, maintaining that subtle stability was the usual strategy of the Hyuga clan.
But this has been, at the moment, seems to be broken.
"Who knows. You just need to continue to wait for the opportunity in Konoha, and you don't need to do anything superfluous. You will naturally understand everything when the time comes."
Ayane maintains a mystical style.
"That's it."
I always feel that there are still many unexplainable things, but as a liaison, the branch ninja naturally dare not expect to know everything.
The more you know, the more you risk exposure.
But one thing is certain, there must be someone in the Hyuga clan who contacted Danzo secretly, and promised Danzo some hard-to-reject benefits, so that the roots of Danzo started to work at this time, blocking Yunyin's sanctions on Hyuga. .
As for whether it is a family member or a member of the clan, it is unknown.
"Then I'll retire first."
The split ninja plans to leave.
"There is one more point." Ayane's words sounded from behind him: "Pay attention to Hyuga's daily difference, he has now received an order from the sect, and is secretly investigating the branch personnel, so that the people over there remain the same and don't do unnecessary things. ."
"Yes."
The split ninja froze.
They split up completely ignorant of the fact that Hyuga Risari had made such a deal with the clan, and they thought that after experiencing this incident, they could draw Hyuga Risari over and become their fighting force.
Now it seems that everything is their own wishful thinking.
Watching the branch ninja leave, Ayane turned her head slightly and looked at a tree not far away, surrounded by darkness.
"Come out."
Ayane's voice fell to the ground, and a figure came out from behind the tree.
Wearing the white coat of a medical staff, with a pair of glasses on his chest, his eyes look very smart and full of intelligent colors.
Asami Masumi.
"Long time no see, Ayane-sama."
She gave Ayane a slight salute.
"Come to me at this time, what's the matter?"
Ayane asked.
Going to Konoha by himself, he didn't say hello to Masumi Asami.
The other party guessed something through the recent series of incidents of the Hinata clan.
I have to say, this is a woman with great eyesight.
You can deduce a lot of important information by yourself through small changes in details, and even follow the clues and find her here.
It is enough to prove the intelligence of the other party.
"This is something that someone wants to pass to Master Shiraishi. I originally planned to have someone else pass it to Master Shiraishi, but the stakes are very important, and I am worried that there will be an accident. If I let Master Ayane pass it on in person, it will be foolproof."
Masumi Asami took out a black scroll from the pocket of his white coat.
Ayane observed with white eyes that a very powerful sealing technique was placed on the black scroll.
The complexity of this sealing technique made even Ayane frown slightly.
"who is it?"
"dawn."
Masumi Asami said a word.
This is the name of an organization.
It started in the Land of Rain in the early years. It is a nation-saving organization formed by a group of aspiring young people who sacrificed their blood and ideals to save the Land of Rain.
But with the outbreak of the Third Ninja World War, Akatsuki also became the victim of Konoha's victory in the duel between Yuyin and Sandyin.
Most of Akatsuki's team members died in the hands of Konoha Genbu, including their first-generation leader Yahiko.
However, although most of Akatsuki's people fell victim to Konoha's victory in the war, they were not completely wiped out.
Two others escaped that day.
With the help of the critical time when Konoha and Yunyin went to war, Akatsuki's remnants eliminated Kanzo who betrayed Yuyin's interests, and completely controlled Yuyin Village, making Konoha unable to take care of them.
According to the investigation by the intelligence officers of the land of ghosts, Akatsuki has gradually shown signs of resurgence in the past two or three years.
"dawn?"
Ayane seemed to be considering something.
It's no wonder that others may not know much about Xiao's affairs, but to her, it's not really a big secret.
Akatsuki's leader is Nagato, who has the eyes of reincarnation that the legendary Six Paths Immortals have.
A few years ago, when she joined Shiraishi and Liuli to kill Madara, Nagato's strength was no longer weak.
In the past few years, it is unknown to what realm the opponent's strength has grown to.
Overall, this is a potential threat no weaker than the Big Five.
And in terms of hiding, it is not weaker than the country of ghosts.
"yes."
Masumi Asami was not surprised at all about Akatsuki's Nagato looking for herself and making contact with Shiraishi.
Three years ago, they worked together for a short time, which led to the sacrifice of the four generations of Hokage Nami Feng Minato and his wife, which greatly reduced Konoha's strength.
With such a good foundation for cooperation, Nagato came to seek cooperation again, naturally through her intermediary.
"Recently, this organization is not very honest. It is said that the guy from Jiraiya seems to be tracking Akatsuki."
Ayane took the black scroll that Masumi Asami handed over, and planned to take it back to Shiraishi for disposal.
"Jilai also?"
Masumi Asami was a little stunned.
"Yeah, since Orochimaru left Konoha, Jiraiya seems to have been looking for Orochimaru's footprints in the ninja world. After that, Orochimaru seems to have had contact with Akatsuki, and Akatsuki was targeted by Jiraiya. "
"Did Xiao actually have contact with Orochimaru? This is really new."
Masumi Asami gave a funny smile.
If I remember correctly, the reason why the first generation of Akatsuki ended miserably, it can be said that the driving force behind the scenes was Orochimaru.
At that time, Orochimaru was also a general of Konoha's army.
Hanzo died not so much at the hands of Sand Hidden as it was in Orochimaru's conspiracy.
Orochimaru betrayed the covenant with Yuyin and did not arrive at the battlefield as scheduled on the day of the decisive battle, causing Hanzo to be besieged and killed by Sandyin ninjas.
After that, in order to conceal this fact, Danzo at the root also immediately launched a thunderous momentum, stabbed Akatsuki in the back, brutally killed most of the members including Akatsuki's leader, supported the puppet of Kanzang, and achieved control of Yuyin Village. the goal of.
With such a **** feud, Akatsuki actually cooperated with Orochimaru.
For Masumi Asami, this is a very incredible thing.
"This Ren Xiao's leader is not that kind of optimist. Be careful when dealing with him."
Ayane warned Asami Masumi.
"Ah, of course I understand."
Asami Masumi's face was extremely solemn.
Having a blood feud with Orochimaru, Akatsuki's Nagato can still contact Orochimaru so calmly and unite with it.
Because of this, Akatsuki's Nagato is even more dangerous.
Those who sacrifice everything for their ideals, and can tolerate even the deepest hatred in the sea of blood, are the most terrifying.
Such a person will sooner or later become the first-class enemy.
A more formidable opponent than the five great powers.
In the desolate little village, there was smoke everywhere.
It was a relatively peaceful little village not long ago, but now it has been turned into a ruin.
"Really, I still can't find satisfactory material"
Looking at the corpses of ninjas all over the place, a hoarse and impatient voice came from the hunched man's mouth.
With rough eyebrows, a strong voice, and five hairs on his head, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a very vulgar adult male.
What's more, he was still hunched over, which made him even more ugly and vulgar.
He was wearing a coat with red clouds on a black background, and his hands were hidden under the sleeves.
Behind him is a metal weapon like a scorpion tail. The position and sides of the pointed head are stained with a lot of blood, mixed with purple venom on the metal tail, which looks extremely strange.
He hunched his body, dragged his huge body, and carefully inspected every ninja corpse on the ground.
But no matter how I checked, I couldn't see a material that satisfied me.
These corpses can only create puppets of the type of miscellaneous soldiers, but cannot become precious collections in his eternal art.
"According to your method, I don't know how many people will die. You are too impatient, scorpion."
Another man came over, laughing with a bewildering magnetism.
With purple and cold eye shadow, eyes like snake pupils, long black hair flying in the wind.
It was Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, who had long since left Konoha.
He is now a well-known high-level defector ninja in the ninja world.
He was also wearing a coat with red clouds on a black background, and he walked over and said jokingly.
"I'm not interested in failures. You can make a nice collectible."
The man named Scorpion sneered at Orochimaru sneeringly, and he did not get along with his companions at all.
"You can't kill me."
Orochimaru was not angry because of this, and there was still a smile on his waxy face, not knowing what he was thinking.
Scorpion snorted angrily.
Indeed, as Orochimaru said, he couldn't kill this rotten snake that couldn't be beaten to death.
Judging from the power of ninjutsu, he is obviously stronger.
But in terms of immortality, this rotten snake is probably no longer human.
Just like him.
"Next, I have to find suitable materials. If you are unhappy, you can go it alone."
I hate getting along with people like Orochimaru, and Scorpion knows this very well.
This rotten snake does not understand the beauty of art at all, and only spit snakes out of its mouth. This kind of ninjutsu that makes people feel physically uncomfortable is completely blasphemous to art in the eyes of the scorpion.
Even if it no longer belongs to the category of human beings and does not need to eat and drink, the scorpion still feels nauseated by this.
"But we are members of a group and get along well. This is what the leader explained."
Orochimaru said so.
"Are you friendly? If you have different interests, there's nothing you can do. I don't want to talk about art to a rotten snake all day."
"That's unfortunate, I'm quite interested in your puppet body."
Unlike Scorpion's indifference, Orochimaru is always happy to talk to Scorpion.
Scorpion just snorted, ignoring the ninja corpses all over the place, dragged the cumbersome corpse, and left slowly.
Orochimaru also followed slowly and left this little-known small ninja village.
A small ninja village with no name like this is unknown in the ninja world.
Most of them are a group of people who can do simple ninjutsu, a rabble gathered together.
"Then go to the country of bears."
Scorpion talks to Orochimaru in an almost commanding tone.
"The Land of Bears?"
Orochimaru frowned slightly.
"The Hell Valley in the Kingdom of Bears has the highly toxic substances I need, as well as the treasure of Xingnin Village, which seems to be an extraterrestrial meteorite. I need that to increase the hardness of the puppet."
Scorpion explained why he wanted to go to the land of bears.
Orochimaru nodded at this.
"I don't care, but before that, we're going to meet someone."
"Who?"
"Have you forgotten the leader's explanation?"
Orochimaru asked back.
"Of course I didn't forget that the leader asked us to come out to find some powerful ninjas, join Akatsuki, and serve Akatsuki."
Scorpion remembers this order.
But there is little hope of doing so.
The powerful ninjas are basically concentrated in the ninja villages of the five major countries. There are only a handful of high-level defecting ninjas wandering outside, and most high-level defecting ninjas have their own unique skills. If you want to find their traces, it is not So easy.
Taking a step back, even if traces of these rank defecting ninjas are found, it is still a problem whether the other party will join or not.
Therefore, until now, there are only a few official members in them.
"I already have a suitable candidate. After finding him, I will go to the Land of Bears."
Orochimaru smiled faintly.
"who is it?"
Although he didn't like Orochimaru very much, Scorpion had to admit his talent.
A ninja who can be personally recruited by Orochimaru must have something special.
"Speaking of which, he, like me, is also a Konoha ninja."
"Oh, Konoha was born." Scorpion paused, as if to ridicule Orochimaru: "Then there are quite a few of your Konoha-level defecting ninjas. As far as I know, there are already four. Including the person you mentioned, there are now five people."
Long before Orochimaru, the three-ranked ninja, defected, Konoha already had three high-level defecting ninjas.
Except for Chiba Shiraishi, who is unknown and has very little information, the other two are from the Konoha giants Uchiha and Hyuga.
"I originally wanted to find the three disciples of Sakumo, but the leader refused and said that they would not join Akatsuki."
Orochimaru remembered something interesting, and his lips split like a snake.
"Oh? That is to say, has the leader and those three people been in contact?"
It is certain that the three-level defecting ninja will not join Akatsuki. In Scorpion's view, this does not seem to be the style of their Akatsuki leader.
That can only mean one thing, the leader of their Xiao organization, in fact, without their knowledge, contacted those three people, and confirmed that the other party would not join Xiao.
"It can only be like this. The eye of reincarnation is really a mysterious power, and I really missed it back then."
Orochimaru stretched out his long tongue and licked it around his mouth, and the expression on his face became gloomy.
But that's what makes things interesting.
Who would have known that the three little devils who were let go back then would grow to this point now.
Thinking of Nagato's strength, Orochimaru couldn't help but shudder.
That doesn't look like a human power at all.
In the face of that kind of power, Sannin also seemed insignificant and had no power to fight back at all.
Looking at it now, the order of the roots against Akatsuki was horribly wrong.
The most troublesome thing in Akatsuki is not that Yahiko, but Nagato who has the eye of reincarnation.
But in this way, it is Orochimaru who is interested in where Xiao's trendy wind will blow.
That's why he joined Akatsuki.
Staying in Konoha, whose will is rotten, has long lost interest.
Although he and Nagato had faults, the other party didn't seem to care, which surprised Orochimaru.
There is one more reason to stay in Akatsuki. Observe Nagato's every move, see how far Nagato with these legendary eyes can grow, and what new impact it will have on the world of ninjas. Leaves are more interesting.
There is no better way to pass the time than this novelty in the pursuit of immortality.
Scorpion must think so too. Orochimaru looked at Scorpion's eyes with some sympathy and admiration.
When he was still on the road of pursuing immortality, the other party seemed to have completed this feat when he was less than twenty years old.
Genius cannot be judged by common sense.
In Orochimaru's view, Scorpion is a genius ninja worthy of recognition and affirmation.
There are geniuses in this world who have the same ideas as him.
There is nothing more gratifying than this.
Therefore, even if the scorpion hates him very much, Orochimaru will not be dissatisfied, it's just the unique personality of the genius.
"Don't look at me like this, be careful I really kill you."
Orochimaru's gaze that wanted to lick his body made him vomit from the inside out.
Especially that mouth, which often spit out messy things.
With myself, I am not human at all.
"Sorry, I can't help it for a while. Let's go, I happen to know where that guy is."
Orochimaru smiled indifferently and led the way in front.
Scorpion snorted coldly and slowly followed Orochimaru's footsteps.
Nameless Mountains.
After that, three days had passed, and Orochimaru took Scorpion here.
"Is this the place where the man you called Beluhu is located?"
At the foot of a huge mountain, Scorpion looked up at the top of the mountain, which was being covered by a thick layer of dark black fog.
According to Orochimaru, a high-level defecting ninja named Beiluhu in Konoha lived in seclusion here.
But even though he is a high-level defector ninja of Konoha, in fact, this person called Beiruhu has a very low sense of existence.
At least scorpion has not heard of such a person exists.
"Bilyuhu and I are ninjas of the same period, but his talent is really mediocre, so he can only study forbidden techniques to improve his strength. It was only later that he was accidentally discovered by the third generation, and he escaped from Konoha."
Orochimaru simply told the information of Beiruhu.
"Research forbidden techniques?"
"Ah, it is precisely because he is unwilling to be mediocre that he wants to rely on the forbidden technique to change all of this. After counting the time, his forbidden technique has already achieved something."
"Can this guy really be our companion?"
"It's not good to look down on people too much, scorpion."
Orochimaru laughed.
"Then see how good he is."
After the scorpion finished speaking, a black shadow jumped out from under his clothes, and the iron block with sharp edges connected to a long metal tail.
An ape creature that raided the two from behind was tightly bound by this metal tail.
The metal tail became tighter and tighter, until the power exceeded the limit of what the beast could bear, and it turned into a rain of blood and flew down from the air.
Then, with the ape screaming death as a signal, a large number of poisonous bees flew from both sides of the road, buzzing and spreading the poisonous sting of the tail part, rushing towards the scorpion.
Scorpion sneered disdainfully, and the steel tail revolved around the body like lightning.
Countless poisonous bees rained down on the ground and lost their ability to move.
Orochimaru watched this scene with all his leisure, and had no intention of making a move at all.
This level of attack is very deadly to ordinary ninjas, but scorpions are not ordinary ninjas, but the famous Sandyin village-level defected ninjas.
This level of attack, for him, is just the feeling of drizzle falling on him.
At this moment, a slight footstep sounded in Orochimaru's ear, causing Orochimaru to turn his head and look at the source of the sound.
A white-haired boy wearing an ancient white long coat slowly walked down the mountain road.
There was red blood in his eyes, and his face was covered with white bandages. Calm and Orochimaru looked at each other.
Orochimaru grinned and said with a smile in the tone of an acquaintance: "It's been a long time, Beiliuhu, I almost didn't recognize you like this. You seem to have changed a lot since you left the village."
