Chapter 255: arrival
Chapter 255 Arrival
"It's enough to come here today."
In the karst cave of the built-in large-scale practice site, Lin shrank the released Tailed Beast Chakra into her body, then wiped the sweat off her face and said.
"As expected of Lin, according to this progress, it may not take long to master the knack of perfectly controlling the tailed beast."
Seeing that Rin has mastered the trick of perfecting Jinchuriki, Obito feels that he is also honored.
"This is also thanks to your help Obito, I can't do it alone."
Lin smiled slightly, and didn't take the credit for it.
Controlling a tailed beast is by no means an easy task.
The accompanying hard work is unbearable for ordinary people.
It's just that if you can't perfectly control the tailed beast in your body, then sooner or later, the power of the tailed beast will go berserk due to various reasons.
If possible, Lin also hopes to open up with Nanao in her body and become friends.
At present, this goal is almost completed.
"Next..."
Before Lin finished speaking, someone approached.
is the vortex fog.
The other party is Obito's superior, and also the person in charge who is in charge of Lin's perfect human strength training.
is a Jōnin from the Oni Nation Army who is proficient in sealing techniques. He also has a deep knowledge of enchantment techniques and has certain medical abilities.
"Obito, there is a task for you."
Wuzi just came in from the outside, holding a scroll recording the content of the mission in his hand.
"Task?"
Obito tilted his head.
In the past two years or so, he has carried out missions a handful of times, and most of the time he accompanied Lin to complete the training skills of tailed beast control.
Among the Uchiha ninjas in the land of ghosts, his pupil power is one of the few, and he can use the kaleidoscope Sharingan to suppress the runaway of the tailed beast for a short time in a single-player situation.
Combined with the sealing technique of the Uzumaki family, it can suppress the tailed beast for a long time.
Kiriko didn't speak, but threw the quest scroll in his hand at Obito, letting him watch it by himself.
Obito caught the scroll and opened it, and Lin came over curiously from the side.
After seeing the above content, both Obito and Lin opened their mouths in surprise.
This is a top secret **** mission.
Request Obito to act as Chiba Kazuhime's guard member and **** him safely to Muye Village.
The task level is A, and the reward is 500,000 taels. If there is any super-difficult danger encountered during the escort, it can be turned into an S-level difficult task at any time.
"Why is Kazuhime sent to Konoha? What does Shiraishi-sensei think?"
As a student of Shiraishi, it can be said that he has learned all of Shiraishi's true teachings. Whether it is medical ninjutsu or the enhanced version of spiritual transformation, Shiraishi has taught Lin without reservation.
Based on this trust, Lin has visited Baishi's family more than once, and she and Baishi's children can be regarded as relatively good friends.
She couldn't understand Shiraishi's decision to send Ichihime to Konoha.
This is so weird no matter how you look at it.
No matter how you look at it, it is impossible to send Kazuhime to Konoha because of insufficient educational ability.
The ninja education system in the Kingdom of Demons is based on the system of the Konoha Ninja School, and has been reformed in many ways. In many ways, it is more complete than the Konoha Ninja School.
The training process is more humanized and diversified than Konoha.
Whether it is ninja skills or other knowledge, you can learn more comprehensively here.
Theoretically, if you go to Konoha, you won’t be able to learn any advanced knowledge.
It is impossible for Konoha to show their sealed book to an outsider.
And if it is to continue to plant spies in Konoha, then it is unnecessary.
Lin knew that Shiraishi had always trained Kazuhime as the future commander of the Oni Nation's military, and sending such a talent to Konoha as a spy, or her own daughter, was really not worth the candle, and it was just a waste of Kazuhime's talent.
"I heard that this was a decision made by Ms. Ichiji herself. She passed all the special exams given to her by Master Shiraishi, so she agreed to this rather rude request. Simply put, she wanted to increase her knowledge."
Wuzi shared some of the news she got.
"I still can't feel relieved, but if it is that child, he will always do all kinds of amazing things."
Among Shiraishi's three children, Lin always felt that Yiji was the most abnormal one.
Since he was a child, he has shown an extraordinary mind. It is said that in the ninja school, it took a very short time to master all the knowledge in the school and apply it proficiently.
The only thing missing is practice.
The reason why it was arranged in Konoha's ninja school is because Kazuhime specially set up a "practical inspection" exam for herself.
The thinking of a genius is always full of strange things.
"But, if I'm allowed to go, what will Lin do?"
Obito spoke his mind.
"Don't worry about this. Lin's perfect jinzhuli practice has come to an end. Even if there is an accident, I can fully deal with it here. Moreover, Konoha is your hometown, don't you want to go back and have a look?"
Wuzi asked back.
Obito choked for a moment, he did have something to finish in Konoha.
That was his grandma's ashes, still buried among the leaves.
In the past, grandma was his most cherished relative. In terms of being helpful, grandma can be said to be his guide.
"I see, but is the identity covered up?"
Obito worries about this.
Although Ichihime's surname is not her mother's surname, the surname Chiba, to be honest, is a bit too irritating to Konoha.
Regarding what Shiraishi did in Konoha in the past, it is estimated that Konoha's senior management has hated the person with this surname all his life, and may suspect Kazuhime because of this.
"Don't worry, Miss Ichihime will go to Konoha as the adopted daughter of His Royal Highness Maitreya as the Princess of the Demon Country, and study at the ninja school. And the name is tentatively set to be Mahiru Ichihime, with Maitreya Miko as a cover, and nothing can be found out from Konoha."
For so many years, only Ayane has been out in public. The information about Shiraishi, Konoha's side, is still in the period of Konoha, and has not been updated for a long time.
"Where are the guards during Konoha?"
Obito continued to ask.
He is only responsible for escorting, and will not stay in Konoha for a long time.
After escorting Ichihime to Konoha, he will return to the Oni Land.
"Two shrine maidens will accompany them there, and the military will also dispatch a few innocent ninjas to go there together."
In addition, Konoha's high-level officials will not be indifferent, involving the princess of a country, it seems to have become a diplomatic issue between the country of ghosts and the country of fire, and Anbu will definitely be sent to protect Kazuhime's safety.
With so many layers of protection, plus the ghost country has no rivalry with the world and belongs to a neutral country, no one will provoke Kazuhime so blindly.
"I see."
Needless to say, the ninjas who accompanied them must be the elite of the military.
The two accompanying witches are probably not simple.
In other countries, witches may be just a profession for ordinary women to support their families.
But the kingdom of ghosts is the place where witches originated. Although most witches here are ordinary people and don’t have too many special abilities, there are also some witches who have acquired the orthodox power of witches and embarked on a cultivation system that is slightly different from ninjas.
Although these witches also use Chakra to fight, the form of the art and the cultivation of the mind make them gradually lose touch with the word 'human'.
It can be said that it is human-like but not human.
And these witches are now the direct subordinates of the maiden Maitreya. In some important shrines in the kingdom of ghosts, they suppress the "evil" of the world that humans cannot see.
Sending these witches there means that Ichihime's identity is forged and flawless.
Maybe Konoha will regard her as the next leader of witches in the kingdom of ghosts.
"Do you have any other questions?"
"No more. When are you leaving?"
Obito asked.
This **** task is not difficult. Although it is designated as A-level, it is only because of the particularity of Kazuki's identity, not the difficulty of the task itself.
For missions like escorting princesses, state officials, and daimyo, because of the special status of the target, the minimum is B-level start.
"tomorrow morning."
"It's really rushed."
Just thinking about not seeing Lin for a few days, Obito's face became a little sad.
However, it seems that I can see Kakashi that stinky guy... Obito began to look forward to it again.
◎
It took a total of five days on the way from the country of ghosts to the country of fire.
One Hime also finally saw the well-known Konoha Ninja Village.
Standing not far from Konoha Ninja Village, she saw the tall wall surrounding the entire village, as well as the huge gate that was too wide, and the ancient Hokage Rock far away on the cliff fell into her eyes.
Although the shadow rock appears very small in Kazuhime's eyes, due to the huge project, it can still be barely distinguished.
These are very iconic buildings in Konoha.
For these, Yi Ji is both familiar and unfamiliar.
The country of ghosts can be said to be the most thorough country in the study of Konoha Ninja Village.
Maybe he can see the essence of this village better than Konoha herself.
Human geography, customs and thoughts, including well-known figures, are all vividly presented in the textbooks of Ninja School in the Kingdom of Ghosts.
It also includes the three ninja world wars that Konoha experienced. During the war, the various policies they adopted externally and internally were all important topics in the history class of the Ninja School in the Kingdom of Ghosts.
And these histories all happened within a few decades, and they are all **** real historical events.
Therefore, Ichihime is no stranger to Konoha's human history, perhaps better than most of Konoha's internal personnel.
Now it is just moving the things in the textbooks into reality.
In this way, practical inspections are valuable.
Another point is that this used to be the hometown of her parents, which is also one of the reasons why she is interested in Konoha.
Although something very unpleasant happened between her parents and Konoha, Kazuki did not intend to intervene in the grievances of the previous generation.
Her purpose is just to come and investigate and verify the knowledge she has learned, and she doesn't intend to do anything superfluous.
Moreover, her time in Konoha will not be too long, Shiraishi only gave her two years.
But this does not mean that she has to stay here for two years. She has to return to the ghost country once every quarter. During these two years, she does not completely study in Konoha.
Thinking that the time spent in Konoha for practical investigation was only two short years, Kazuki felt that the burden on her body suddenly became heavier.
This is the only way to the throne of the overlord of the kingdom of ghosts.

"Then, for His Highness Kazuhime's various matters in Konoha, I will trouble Master Hokage to take care of him, and I will leave."
Bowing slightly to the third Hokage Hiraku, the diplomats of Oni Land respectfully exited the office where Hokage was located.
After the diplomats of the Oni Land left the office, Hirazan held a petition from the Oni Land side. The general content was that he, as Hokage, would take care of some of the impolite demands of the Princess of the Oni Land.
For example, the living environment, during school, don't reveal her princess's identity, etc.
Although the diplomat of the Oni Land spoke impolitely, from Hirizan’s point of view, these were just some normal requests, and it didn’t embarrass him, Hokage.
Before, he arranged a relatively secluded place of residence for the other party to live in.
As for the guards, a four-member Anbu team was also selected.
These four Anbu ninjas are rare elites in the Anbu, and they are worthy enough to be the princess of the other country.
I just saw that the guards accompanying the princess in the kingdom of ghosts even had two priestesses installed... This made Hizaru a little hesitant. Could the other party be the next leader of priestesses in the kingdom of ghosts?
After all, the other party is the adopted daughter of Maitreya Miko from the Ghost Country, and if she can be canonized as the Princess of the Ghost Country, she must have a very special talent in suppressing monsters.
The country of ghosts is different from many countries. The princesses of this country are not a group of mortals without special abilities.
In short, Hirizhan felt that he had to take it seriously.
Although I know that the princess of a neutral country will not provoke any enemies, it is inevitable that some accidents will happen in Konoha.
Still can't relax.
Fortunately, the other party will only study in Konoha for two years, which greatly reduces the difficulty of Hirazan's work.
Although Konoha's external aggression has disappeared at this moment, the internal torrent is surging, so he doesn't have much energy to waste on it.

Today is a rare day off.
As one of the most powerful combat power in the Anbu, Kakashi has already taken the position of the captain of the Anbu.
Before, he was just the squad leader of a four-person team, and the sub-team leader was in charge of four squads.
Anbu has a total of four team leaders, and Kakashi is one of them.
And he is the youngest captain of the dark part ever.
After all, he is only seventeen or eighteen years old now. Compared with those seniors who only became the captain of the dark section in their thirties and forties, his existence is simply a different kind.
His status in Anbu is now second only to the minister and deputy minister.
However, those two positions are being occupied by people from the Sarutobi clan. From the perspective of correct thinking, Kakashi thinks that he may not be able to sit in the position of deputy minister or minister of Anbu for the rest of his life.
That position is not just obtained by relying on Hokage's trust. And in terms of trust, Sandai Hokage trusts his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law even more.
This kind of blood bond, from the very beginning, Kakashi felt that he was overwhelmed.
In this regard, Kakashi will not feel disappointed.
Because I never expected it, there was no such thing as disappointment from the very beginning.
He just needs to do his job well.
Regularly convey the information he knows to the kingdom of ghosts, to the roots, and to Orochimaru.
But compared to the Oni Nation side, Nemo and Orochimaru are more eager, and attach great importance to the information he provided.
The reason is that the roots are being monitored by Anbu at this time, and Oshemaru is also targeted by Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, and Anbu because of joining a certain mysterious organization.
At this time, Kakashi, as the captain of Anbu, knows the movements of most of Anbu's members. As long as Orochimaru makes use of this information, he can cleverly escape the hunt without Anbu being suspicious.
If it seems too relaxed, it will make Anbu suspect that there is a problem internally, and someone is colluding with Orochimaru.
Kakashi knew that as his status in Anbu rose, Orochimaru appreciated him even more.
Not long ago, he was given a lot of research materials on ninjutsu, many of which involved advanced knowledge of forbidden arts.
Although Orochimaru's personality is unpleasant, the opponent's research accomplishments in ninjutsu are worthy of recognition, and the country of ghosts also attaches great importance to it.
For that side, the knowledge in Orochimaru's head is more worthy of attention than his strength.
After dealing with work matters, Kakashi didn't want to think about these troublesome things during his rest day.
Over the years, he has already summed up a set of work and rest schedules that suit him. Most of the time for cultivation, work, and rest will be balanced.
There are many ways to rest, and reading is a habit he developed very early.
He habitually took out a novel from his ninja bag.
—"Kissing Heaven".
The author is Jiraiya, one of Konoha Sannin.
The ninja with a legendary name.
is a noble existence admired by many gentlemen in the ninja world.
Because of the official publication of this book, a large number of loyal fans have accumulated in the ninja world.
Kakashi is one of the hardcore.
In Konoha, Kakashi also knows many like-minded 'companions'.
Among the Anbu, there are also a few people.
It is conceivable how popular this novel is.
Rich love, delicate emotional lines... and the occasional scenes of misfires always make people youthful.
Kakashi couldn't help but sigh Jiraiya's strength, he really deserves to be the legendary Sannin.
It was not this year that I first came into contact with "Massacre in Paradise".
As early as a few years ago, Jiraiya sent him a first draft of "Kindness to Heaven". After several years of polishing, Jiraiya officially published this book.
It can be said that this is Kakashi's long-awaited excellent work.
The first edition of the book didn't catch up, and he got the July edition.
Now he has read this book several times, but he is still not satisfied. It is not an exaggeration to say that he will never get tired of reading it.
Reading "Kind to Heaven" has also become his favorite way to relax now.
Just taking off his coat, Kakashi lay on the bed, holding "Kissing Heaven" and began to read with relish.
Will never get tired of it no matter how many times I watch it, it's like Jiraiya's personal experience, and Sannin's skills can be seen.
Whether it is Orochimaru, Tsunade, or Jiraiya, Kakashi believes that they are geniuses in their respective fields.
Just as he was watching something wonderful, suddenly a gust of wind flowed in from the window, interrupting Kakashi's reading.
Murderous!
Kakashi closed the book calmly, turned his head to look towards the window, a black shadow sprang out from there quickly, and Kunai stabbed towards his body with a cold light.
Kakashi took action immediately, jumped up from the bed, and dexterously avoided Kunai's attack.
But the opponent didn't intend to withdraw at this point, picked up Kunai and continued to approach, at a very fast speed.
Even if you look at Konoha Anbe, there are not many people with such agility.
But for Kakashi, it was still not enough.
Landing on the ground, Kakashi gently bent down, swung his palm from bottom to top, and quickly hit the opponent's wrist.
The other party let out a pain, and immediately swung his arm upwards, released his palm, and the kunai in his hand flew out, piercing deeply into the ceiling above.
The opponent didn't intend to stop yet, and used physical techniques to attack. Legs, feet, palms, and elbows all became his sharp weapons for attacking the enemy, which briefly put Kakashi in a dilemma.
Kakashi backed away quickly, dodging the attacker's ferocious attack, and took the White Fang dagger hanging next to the hanger.
The moment he held Bai Fang's dagger, moon-white electricity was immediately aroused from the blade, flickering with shocking sharpness.
The other party seemed to be afraid of the dagger in Kakashi's hand, and he restrained his movements.
Kakashi took advantage of this opportunity, quickly stepped forward and approached the attacker's body, and mercilessly swung the White Fang dagger.
A surprising scene happened.
Kakashi pierced through the attacker's body with a knife.
The assailant didn't let go of this opportunity, and a fierce punch hit the back of Kakashi's head. With a calm face, Kakashi turned sideways and kicked backwards, forcing the opponent to retract his fist and take a few steps back.
"It seems that you have grown a lot in the past few years, Kakashi. Your skills are faster than before."
The attacker stopped attacking, rubbed the wrist that was hurt by Kakashi, and laughed at Kakashi with a smile on his face.
"I didn't expect the tail of the crane to have such skills."
Kakashi responded indifferently, and silently put the White Fang dagger behind his back.
The person who attacked him was Obito.
The bad relationship between the two of them was probably established when they were in the ninja school.
After that, they worked together under the yellow flashing Namikaze Minato, but after an incident happened, Obito and Lin were taken to the kingdom of ghosts and left from Konoha.
The original Minato team, and now he is the only one left to continue serving in Konoha.
"Shibie three days should treat each other with admiration, besides, I am no longer the tail of the crane."
Obito was slightly dissatisfied with correcting the wrong part of Kakashi's words.
"Maybe." Kakashi shrugged, without further discussion on this topic, and then asked: "Speaking of which, what's the matter with you coming to Konoha at this time?"
Obito waved his hand and said: "There is no special purpose, just because I happen to be among the escorts this time. But I am acting secretly, and Konoha does not know my information."
"I see."
Kakashi nodded.
As one of Anbu's sub-captains, he also knows what Obito's "escort mission" refers to.
Although he didn't understand why Shiraishi sent his daughter to Konoha, it wasn't something he should worry about.
Obito walked to the window at this time, put his hands on the window sill, and took a deep breath.
The hot summer wind blowing in from outside, playing with the broken hair on Obito's head, made him feel comfortable.
He looked at the familiar scenery of Muye Village outside the window, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes. Many years ago, he lived in this village, and said with emotion:
"In addition to the mission, I also came to Konoha to pay homage to Minato-sensei. The three of us are now separated from Konoha, and I always feel a little sorry for Minato-sensei."
