Chapter 123: Locked Uchiha (1)
Chapter 123 Locked Uchiha (1)
Damp bone woodland boundary.
After the clone of the live slug introduced Shiraishi's various locations in the wet bone forest, he left Shiraishi alone and returned to the main body.
Standing on the top of a tall mountain, Baishi feels that the natural energy here is more intense than that at the bottom of the mountain. If he practices immortality here, he can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Just as Baishi was overlooking the panorama of the wet bone forest from here, footsteps sounded behind him.
Shiraishi knows who is coming here without even thinking about it. In the wet bone forest, besides him, Tsunade is the only human being.
"Are you here to seek justice for those dead Konoha ninjas? I should have said that I don't really want to fight with you."
Shiraishi tilted his head slightly, watching Tsunade walking towards him.
There was still a coldness in the other party's eyes.
After all, Shiraishi's actions in Konoha were too big. The Konoha ninjas below didn't know what happened, but Tsunade knew some unknown inside stories.
When Shiraishi left Konoha, he not only destroyed Konoha's building facilities, but also took away some members of the Uchiha and Hyuga clan.
To make matters worse, the 'caged bird' spell engraved on the foreheads of those branch families has failed, and the Hyuga clan is still in chaos internally, arguing with each other endlessly.
Even worrying that the remaining branch members will defect, an atmosphere of exclusion and distrust is brewing within the Hyuga clan.
Uchiha's place is also not much better. The conflict between the security team and the village seems to be deepening day by day. After all, Liuli, a member of the Uchiha clan, participated in the battle with Hokage that night.
"I'm just curious about your purpose in inciting so many people to leave Konoha? It's impossible to take so many people away without doing anything."
Tsunade has a serious expression on his face.
The witches and black beasts who attacked Caoyin Village are subordinates of Shiraishi. The reason for attacking Caoyin Village seems to be related to the remnants of the Uzumaki clan.
Later, in Konoha, he provoked the members of the Uchiha and Hyuga clan to leave. Tsunade was very worried that Shiraishi had some ulterior secrets that would endanger the Konoha Ninja Village established by her grandfather Senjuzhuma.
"So I'm interested in this kind of thing. Don't worry, I don't plan to do anything to Konoha. Let's not talk about Uchiha's leaving with me. I can only say that it was their own choice, and I never forced them to join. However, everyone's heart that yearns for freedom cannot be restrained. A bird in a cage will be fearless in life and death when it sees the hope of flying freely. Isn't that the truth, Tsunade-sensei?"
Tsunade opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but found that he couldn't object to Shiraishi's words.
The caged bird of the Hyuga clan, even she can't see it.
It is said that it is to protect Baiyan, but the people of the main family can activate the curse seal to control the ninjas of the branch family. This is a bit too much.
"Then what happened to Uchiha?"
Tsunade sighed, feeling that things were getting more and more serious.
"That is a problem left over from history. It is very complicated to say, and it involves some ulterior secrets. I am sorry that I cannot explain the reasons in detail."
Shiraishi thought of the eye-opening conditions of the kaleidoscope Sharingan, and felt that this kind of thing is not something that can be revealed to others casually.
Whether it is to outsiders or to the Uchiha clan, it is best to never disclose this kind of secret.
"For you, is the village really an existence without thoughts? Mr. Sarutobi trusts you so much, he has mentioned to me more than once that you are the Konoha ninja who inherited the true will of fire."
Tsunade looked at Shiraishi with complicated eyes.
Thinking about it now, the Konoha ninja who was regarded by Hokage as inheriting the will of fire has now become his biggest irony.
It can only be said that Shiraishi is hiding too deeply.
At the moment before his rebellion, no one would think that he was a rebellious person in the village, and would become the existence of a defected ninja.
Baishi did not answer this question, but just sat down and stared at the sea of fog that filled the mountainside without blinking.
"Or...because of the Shuo Mao incident..."
Tsunade guessed there again.
"You master and apprentice really have exactly the same way of thinking. On the night I left Konoha, the third generation also asked me the same question."
Shiraishi turned his head to look at Tsunade, with a somewhat helpless face.
"Then let me answer again. The Konoha ninja named Sakumo Hatake is just a Konoha ninja. I will feel sorry for his death, but I will never use this reason to take revenge on some people. If you are entangled in this kind of problem, you don't have to. I have no interest in Konoha's affairs. You are about to leave. As far as I know, Konoha's current situation is very worrying."
Shiraishi reminded Tsunade that it is still the period of the Ninja World War, and as Konoha of the Kingdom of Fire being attacked, the situation is quite urgent.
Seeing that Shiraishi didn't have the slightest idea of what he wanted to communicate, Tsunade knew that he couldn't continue to get any useful information from the other party.
His face is no longer the gentle and polite look he had in Konoha, or in other words, this is his true face.
The gentleness and humility in the village is just a disguise to win people's trust.
Tsunade took a deep breath, his face regained his composure, and he turned and left without dragging his feet.
Hearing the footsteps gradually walking away, Shiraishi knew that his relationship with Tsunade was completely broken.
But there is no other way.
From the moment he left Konoha, he already had this awareness.
No matter what excuses I find, my behavior that night was to split and destroy the village left by the first Hokage Senjujura.
For Tsunade, it should be a precious thing that no one is allowed to destroy or desecrate.
Destroying these by herself will naturally make her hostile and angry.
If this is not the wetbone woodland boundary, it is likely that they have come up to fight in person.
However, Shiraishi didn't care about these.
I still have a lot of things to do, but I can't stop because of a Konoha.
The third Ninja World War started, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.
Miss this opportunity. After the war subsides, it will be difficult to have such an excellent opportunity for development.
"Although I really want to go back soon, let's get acquainted with the environment here first."
After all, there are many treasures that are hard to see in the ninja world.
The fountain of life that can heal and assist in the cultivation of immortal arts, as well as the hard trees that can resist the corrosive mucus containing natural energy contained in living slugs, are all things worthy of attention, which can help his series of development plans.
"Go and ask the live slug first, if the Fountain of Life can make a simplified version."
After all, the Fountain of Life here on the top of the mountain is really too big. The area is deep and shallow, and the deep places can directly allow large psychic beasts to swim freely in it.
Baishi intends to build some normal-sized therapeutic hot springs outside. Whether it is for personal use or commercial application, there are many unexpected benefits.
But in this way, will the hot spring industry in Yunokuni go bankrupt?
Shiraishi thinks it is very possible.
◎
After Baishi left, some people were naturally distressed by his departure.
Because no one expected this before it happened.
Liuli and Ayane had to find Shiraishi's avatars Lei Mingmaru and Tian Yunu, and the two of them still stayed here and did not leave with them.
"Is your father missing?"
Lei Mingmaru, who was standing on Tianyu girl's shoulder, was surprised by Shiraishi's disappearance after hearing Liuli and Ayane's narration.
"We suspect that he was summoned to Wetbone Forest by reverse psychic techniques."
Ruri said so.
In the office, the name of Shiraishi appeared on the scroll that signed the psychic contract with Wetbone Forest.
Both she and Ayane suspect that Shiraishi is a slug immortal from the Wetbone Forest, who channeled him to the Wetbone Forest.
"Damp bone forest? I think it should be fine. If we encounter danger, my father will definitely call us to fight. My sister Tianyu and I are still here, which proves that my father is in a very safe situation now."
Lei Mingwan said.
"Use the reverse psychic technique to summon him back. The current situation is quite worrying."
Lei Mingmaru's analysis is very reasonable, but Ayane still thinks it is too optimistic. In case Shiraishi encounters an unimaginable danger, he will be defeated by the enemy before using spiritism. This situation is also possible.
"Okay, my lord, I will immediately use the technique of reverse psychic..."
Murderous!
Lei Mingwan felt a biting cold rushing towards his body, and couldn't help shivering.
Liuli stared at her with clear black and white eyes, as if looking at a cold corpse, her eyes were dark and terrifying.
"What did you just call her?"
"Ah...that...not...the one just now was..."
Lei Mingmaru's dark face was covered with cold sweat, and he took a step back timidly, hiding behind Tian Yunu.
This mother over here is terrifying.
You don't want to swallow it here, do you?
Its meat is not tasty at all.
Sour and bitter.
"Okay, it's still a child less than two years old, after all, it's a child's speech. The most important thing now is to find the whereabouts of Mr. Baishi as soon as possible."
Ayane came to mediate, but she was smiling, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
"Ah, yes, maybe Father is facing unprecedented danger at this moment, I will use reverse psychic technique to see."
Lei Mingwan didn't know if Shiraishi had encountered some crisis that he couldn't face, but if he couldn't get through this, he felt like he would be lying on a plate on the dining table tonight and being eaten by others.
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Liuli's reaction, he walked to the center of the field, ready to immediately summon Baishi with the reverse psychic technique. Lei Mingwan only hoped that Shiraishi could come back sooner, as its shield.
These two mothers, no matter which one they are, are really terrifying.
Although one is straightforward, it is very oppressive. Every time you stare at it, it will make people feel more stressed.
One likes to laugh and looks kind and friendly, but he always sows dissension and makes the incident level continue to rise.
In fact, he really wants a mother who is very gentle, can love it every day, and cook a lot of delicious food for it.
But thinking about it carefully, this kind of thing can only be imagined in a dream.
It's pathetic.
Lei Mingwan began to gather chakra on its forelimbs. The ninjutsu system in its body was different from that of humans, and some techniques could be used directly without the need for seals.
And speaking of the contractual relationship between it and Baishi, it is actually a special kind of contract.
It is more closely connected than the contract between ninjas and psychic beasts.
The ground expanded the runes that successfully cast the spirit spell, but soon these runes began to turn back time and were recycled into Lei Mingwan's body.
"What's wrong?"
"Father has rejected my call."
Lei Mingwan was also a little stunned, but he quickly reacted and said.
Its contractual relationship with Shiraishi is a clearly hierarchical subordinate.
It cannot refuse Baishi's psychic call, but Baishi can decide whether to respond to the clone's reverse psychic call according to the situation.
The good news is that, as the father, Baishi didn't seem to have encountered any critical incidents, but because he had some important things to do, he couldn't respond to his reverse psychic call.
The bad news is...the plan to find the shield by myself has failed.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the arena was a bit delicate, Lei Mingwan jumped back quickly.
"Ahem, I suddenly remembered that my father seems to have entrusted me with a very important task before he left. I want to try to get the job done before my father returns. Ahem, that, two mothers, I still have things to do and I will step down temporarily."
The strong oppressive force in the air made it difficult for him to breathe.
If this goes on, I feel like I will really die.
As she said that, without waiting for Tian Yu Nu, her body turned into a flash of azure blue lightning and rushed towards the depths of the woods, disappearing in an instant.
Tian Yunu tilted her head, looking suspiciously in the direction where her younger brother Lei Mingwan disappeared.
If she remembered correctly, their father just asked the two of them to dispose of the wood here. Why would there be new jobs?
Brother Lei Mingwan is a big liar.
"Since this is the case, it seems that we can only find out what happened when Mr. Baishi comes back. It's getting late, so I'll go back and take a nap first."
Ayane stretched her waist. In this kind of cold weather, I don't really want to come out of the room. I need others to warm me up.
"Don't leave in such a hurry. I have recently studied a new type of ninjutsu, and I am short of an opponent of comparable strength. Can you be my training partner?"
Liuli said as calmly as possible.
Since leaving Konoha, she feels that this woman is even more dangerous.
Shaking in front of her man all day long.
shameless!
"Well, then there's nothing we can do. We haven't practiced against each other for a long time. Speaking of which, I also want to know how strong I am now."
Ayane smiled approachably, and agreed to Liuli's request, which was not considered rude.
In the past, when sparring, she was always defeated in humiliation. She is a Sharingan woman with such a poor chest. It would be great if her strength is also relatively poor.
But this time is different. Her mastery of Baiyan is not the same as back then, and she has discovered many practical and powerful moves. This time she will definitely win!

Konoha.
Minato has been discharged from the hospital for a while. When he was hospitalized, he felt discomfort and stiffness in his body. After taking the activating agent developed by Ziyuanhua Company, on the first day he was discharged from the hospital, he almost returned to the state before the injury.
Surviving a catastrophe made Minato cherish this opportunity to do it all over again.
Naturally, he was more vigilant about Baishi.
After all, death is not such a pleasant thing. Recalling the cold eyes Baishi looked at himself before death, there is still an indelible shadow in my heart.
Next time if you encounter it, you must be more careful, and you should try to avoid too much contact during close combat.
But Shiraishi’s matter has to be put aside for now. Although many ninjas in Konoha hate Shiraishi’s actions that night, destroying the village, killing his colleagues, and wishing to tear him into pieces, the most important thing right now is the battle with Sand Yin and Yan Yin.
By comparison, Baishi is far less threatening than these two villages.
The reason why the opponent chose that time was because Konoha had dispatched a large number of ninjas twice before choosing to attack. It was not only because of caution, but also to prove his strength and could not shake an existence like Konoha.
You can only use various loopholes to carry out containment and pulling battles.
The powerful ninjas in the village that night were only worried about Kushina's safety, so they couldn't fight to the death.
Some deadly forbidden and secret techniques cannot be easily used.
So, after that night, Konoha only sent out a chasing force symbolically, but the main focus was still on Sand Yin and Rock Yin.
It's not too late to deal with a dangerous rebellion like Shiraishi after repelling Sand Yin and Yan Yin.
When the war comes, Minato will also rush to the battlefield to fight Sand Yin and Yan Yin.
Before that, there is one more thing to deal with.
That is the formation of the Minato class.
After Minato became a Jōnin, he didn’t really lead a Jōnin team. Instead, he always temporarily formed a team with others, or performed tasks alone.
A few days after being discharged from the hospital, Minato felt that his body had almost recovered. The ninja school was also facing graduation. Two of them were graduates this year, and the other was Kakashi Hatake, a genius ninja who had graduated several years ahead of schedule. Now he is a Chunin.
In an open space near the school, Minato held the team member information obtained from Hokage, which recorded the graduation results of the two graduates and their future development routes.
Just as Minato was thinking about how to get along with the team members in the future, there were footsteps approaching.
The opponent has silver-white hair, wears a mask, and has a well-made short knife behind his back.
Minato recognized that it was the dead Konoha ninja Hatake Sakumo's weapon—the White Fang Dagger.
The identity of the other party is self-evident, the son of White Fang——Hatake Kakashi.
Graduated at the age of five, and became a genius child of Chunin at the age of six.
Even the top executives are looking forward to his future.
With Kakashi's talent, it is only a matter of time before he develops at such a growth rate and surpasses his father Konoha Shirato.
It's just... After the Bai Fang incident, the other party directly closed his heart, did not communicate with anyone, went his own way, ignored the lives and safety of his teammates, and only had the concept of mission first in his heart.
Anyone that hinders him from completing his mission, even his companions, will be mercilessly abandoned.
"You're Kakashi Hatake. Hello, I'm Minato Namikaze, and I'll be your Jonin leader in the future."
Minato took the initiative to greet with a smile.
Kakashi just nodded plainly, with no emotion in his eyes. After nodding to Minato, he leaned aside, folded his hands on his chest, and waited for the others to arrive.
Minato didn't care, but it also proved that the rumors that Kakashi was at odds with the crowd were not false.
And... the three subordinates of his dead father are now Konoha's rebels...
Minato smiled wryly in his heart, Kakashi's heart felt more closed.
Hokage really gave him a difficult task.
Not long after, another person came over.
The gentle girl with short hair is Nohara Rin.
"You are Minato-sensei. I am Rin Nohara. I will join your team from today. Please give me your advice."
Lin introduced herself with a smile. Minato could tell that she was a careful girl who would consider others.
According to the data, she majored in medical ninjutsu in the ninja school, and the person who taught her medical ninjutsu was, besides Kami Ninja Tsunade, the S-class rebel ninja Chiba Shiraishi who had defected from Konoha.
"Hello, I'm Namakaze Minato, let's take a rest here first, I have something to say later."
Minato responded with a smile.
"yes."
Lin obediently walked aside, and was a little surprised to see Kakashi here too.
"Kakashi, are you also a member of the team?"
Lin suppressed the excitement in her heart, she didn't expect Kakashi to be a member of the Minato class.
"Um."
Kakashi nodded, and closed his eyes to rest after finishing speaking.
Lin saw that Kakashi didn't want to communicate, so she had no choice but to stay silent and not disturb him.
About an hour later, another person hurried over.
Wearing goggles gives people a simple and bold feeling. If such a person is also a ninja, he will probably be the type that makes people feel insecure.
Uchiha Obito.
"Sorry, teacher, when I came, an old lady on the road just happened to fall down, and I wasted a little time sending that old lady home."
Obito also knew that he was late and would probably leave a bad impression in the eyes of the team leader, so he apologized sincerely.
"It's okay, although I'm late, but it's understandable, and today I mainly want to see you, not to perform the task. But when carrying out the task, it's best not to make such a mistake."
Minato did not punish Obito, but he also asked him not to be so reckless and careless when officially performing tasks.
For ninjas performing tasks, the concept of time must be taken seriously.
"Yes. Well, I am Obito Uchiha, and I will be a member of this team from today on."
Obito rubbed his nose and smiled imposingly.
Minato was also infected by Obito's cheerful smile. This kid named Obito is really a strange Uchiha ninja.
It's hard to imagine that there will be such a lively and cheerful ninja in the Uchiha clan.
"I'm Namakaze Minato, the Jonin of this team. The other two are Nohara Rin and Hatake Kakashi, you should know them all."
Minato signaled Rin and Kakashi over there to meet up.
As a result, when Obito saw Lin and Kakashi coming together, he pursed his mouth, feeling very pleased.
"It was always like this when I was in school. You should almost have the consciousness of a ninja. A ninja is no longer a student."
Obviously, Kakashi was late for Obito.
"Okay, the two of you used to be classmates, so you need to get along well."
Watergate promptly dissuaded.
"Yes, I see, Minato-sensei."
The scene of cooperating with this guy is completely unimaginable. Obito looked at Kakashi's stagnant eyes, thinking sullenly.
Minato looked at Kakashi, and Kakashi had no choice but to say, "As long as it doesn't hold me back, I don't care."
Minato finally laughed in satisfaction.
"Since all the personnel are here, let's do a practical exercise now."
"Practical exercise?"
"Don't worry, a very simple exercise is for the convenience of understanding your abilities, and then I will decide what kind of tasks you are suitable for performing."
Minato laughed.
"Great! Minato-sensei, and Lin, watch, my maiden mission will definitely be a difficult A-level mission!"
Obito suddenly felt his blood boil.
Minato smiled awkwardly.
Lin also sighed helplessly, thinking that Obito's rhetoric was too unrealistic, how can a ninja perform A-level tasks as soon as he comes up.
Kakashi still looked at idiots as before.
Minato took the three of them to the practice field not far away.
In the original open space, a head slowly protruded, the skin on the face was pale, there was a weird smile on the corner of the mouth, and the eyes locked on Obito's back.
"The kind and friendly Uchiha, he still lacks a brain, and is easy to control... Madara-sama seems to be looking for this kind of stupid Uchiha."
