Chapter 109: War and Kaleidoscope (1)
The war came very suddenly.
The Land of Fire is close to the border between the Land of Grass and the Land of Rain, and the ninja forces stationed there are almost all wiped out, and only a few Konoha ninjas have escaped death, passing the news of the attack of the Sand Hidden Ninja back to Konoha Village.
Although he was angry that the Sand Hidden Ninja provoked a war against the Fire Country, the Konoha high-level leaders led by the three generations of Hokage still made war arrangements as soon as possible, dispatched the ninjas in the village to form troops, marched towards the border, and began to support.
At such times, peace treaties signed between countries are nothing more than a piece of paper.
Compared to those ninjas who have experienced the ninja war, the shinobi who have just graduated from school don't feel too much crisis.
Although they knew that many people would die if war broke out, they still had a naΓ―ve and optimistic attitude before they saw the real war, and they had no idea what kind of hell would come to them next.
In the hell called war, the life of the middle ninja is in danger at any time, and the upper ninja will soon die tragically on the battlefield when he is besieged.
I don't know where the kunai and shuriken will fly from, or else they will be blown up by the detonation charm and there will be no bones left.
In the large-scale war launched by the ninja village and the ninja village, no matter how strong the ninja is, he does not dare to say that he can survive to the end.
Therefore, most Konoha ninjas have a pessimistic attitude towards war.
When war breaks out, it means that they will be separated from their loved ones, lovers, and friends.
But even if you are pessimistic, you must rush to the front line desperately to fight the enemy to the end for the village and the country.
β
The sudden outbreak of war made the atmosphere on the streets of Konoha much quieter, and they all prayed at home for the blessings of their relatives who went to the battlefield, praying for their safe return.
"Ruri, are you going out now?"
Seeing Ruri, who was about to go out, Shiraishi walked behind her and asked.
"Well, there's a patrol mission, and the activity is around the village."
"Will you be back that night?"
Shiraishi paused, then asked.
"Shift changes around eight o'clock in the evening, and I'll be back at that time. What's wrong? β
Ruri felt that Shiraishi seemed to have something to say to herself, and tilted her head slightly.
"It's nothing, the main thing is that I want to tell you one thing, but since you have something to do now, then I'll wait for you to come back in the evening to discuss it."
"Got it, be careful."
The Sand Hidden Spies who infiltrated the village, or the roots led by the group of Zang, are all places to pay attention to.
Although he knew that with Baishi's strength, he didn't need to worry about any danger to him at all, he couldn't help but remind him.
Seeing Ruri leave, Shiraishi paused at the door for a moment before returning to his room to rest.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Shiraishi began to go out for a walk.
The place to walk is very random, as if you are really out for a walk and relax, and there is no purpose.
It's good, there's no change here. He said secretly in his heart.
Every time Shiraishi walked to a place, he used perceptual ninjutsu to investigate, and re-investigated the locations that were to be attacked and caused by the disturbance in the Konoha plan one by one to see if there were any omissions.
It was determined that there had been no change in the patrol team in these places, and that the patrol would continue along the previous route, and even the time of the cross-change of duties after every half hour was the same as before.
But......
Shiraishi looked in a certain direction, and he could clearly perceive that the number of guards in that direction had increased by four.
The dark part of a class.
With the addition of the original class of the Shadow Division, there are a total of eight Shadow Ninjas.
Because of the war, there are more forces to protect that side.
After that, Shiraishi walked around the other places, and it was about half past three in the afternoon before he walked towards the ninja school.
The school has not been affected in any way, but it can only be said that the graduates of the past few years have not been coincidental enough to catch up with this era of war.
Whether they are crying or laughing, they have the obligation to go to war from the day they become true ninjas.
However, none of this had anything to do with him, a mid-ninja who worked as a logistical medical ninja in Konoha, and he didn't receive any orders from the village.
His current supervisor is Tsunade, and Tsunade is currently serving in the ninja school and doesn't seem to have any plans to go to the front......
Although Shiraishi was puzzled, after all, the war was coming, and according to his prediction, the probability of Tsunade going to the battlefield would be very high, and on the battlefield, her medical ninjutsu could play a big role.
Why stay in the village?
And it's strange that there is no appointment from the top of the village.
Is there any particular reason?
Although I am very confused about this, because of this, I can stay in Konoha without worry.
Otherwise, I should have looked for an excuse to stay in Konoha before.
Originally, his rhetoric was also ready, but I didn't expect it to be completely useless.
"Shiraishi-senpai."
When he arrived at the school's office, Shiraishi first saw Shizune and smiled at her and nodded.
"You're here."
Walking into the office, Tsunade, who was sitting there, raised his head, his face was red, he must have drunk before.
"Really, Tsunade-sensei, don't drink at this time, right?"
"What's the matter, it doesn't affect the class anyway."
Tsunade waved her hand, saying that she didn't have to worry, she was just drunk, and her consciousness was still very clear, and it would not affect the class.
"I'm not worried about this...... Well, forget it, you won't listen to it anyway. But at the front line, wouldn't it be a little ...... to rely on Orochimaru's seniors alone?"
"I'll lead other troops over tomorrow, no problem."
Tsunade said.
Sure enough, the top brass of the village is already rapidly preparing for the second unit, which will go to the battlefield tomorrow.
So, let's do it tomorrow night...... It's the perfect time.
With Tsunade's revelation, Shiraishi is even more sure of this.
"Is it really okay if Tsunade-sensei doesn't come along? I heard that Shayin Village is menacing this time, and the front line is ......"
A worried look appeared on Shiraishi's face.
Mute stopped talking on the side, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it, after all, this matter was an important secret in the village, and it couldn't be easily exposed to unrelated people.
She also knew a thing or two because she lived with Tsunade.
This is top-secret information in the village.
"It's all right, you don't have to worry. With the abilities of the two of them, it should be enough to block the Sand Hidden Ninja. And I'm tired of fighting, and this teaching job was also shoehorned into me by Teacher Ape Fei. β
Tsunade skillfully put an end to the topic, his eyes staring out the window, and he lost his mind for a while.
Obviously, no matter how much he pretends to be calm on his face, he is still very worried about the two people of Orochimaru and Jiraiya.
Not to annoy Tsunade, Shiraishi sat in his place and began to prepare for class, while Shizune went to prepare two cups of hot tea and put them on the table in front of Tsunade and Shiraishi.
At half past five in the afternoon, classes at the school ended, and after answering some students' questions about medical care, Shiraishi left the school and continued to wander around the village.
After wandering around until it was completely dark, Shiraishi saw that the time was almost up, and returned to the Uchiha clan.
Today's inspection is over, as long as tomorrow night before the official operation, there will be no problem with another inspection.
As long as the plan is not a major change, there is no need to adjust, but the biggest problem now is how to explain to Ruri at night.
As for whether Ruri will leave Konoha with him, Shiraishi is not too sure.
The Uchiha clan and Konoha have a deep karma, and Ruri is the ninja of the Uchiha clan, and the cause of Uchiha and Konoha is also the cause of Ruri and Konoha.
In short, no matter what the outcome, just accept it.
This village, it's time to say goodbye.
Asking the person in charge of the Aster Flower Company to train medical ninjas with Konoha as a substitute for tissues, so as to transfer the precious drug research materials to Konoha is the final gift.
Go back and rest, and then wait for Ruri to come back and confess that she is going to leave Konoha, this is the choice that Shiraishi made in his heart at this moment.
With this decision in mind, Shiraishi returned to his room and quietly waited for Ruri to come back after the patrol mission and confess to her.
"It's half past seven......"
I remember that Liuli said that she was changing shifts with other teams around eight o'clock, and there was only half an hour left.
Shiraishi smiled bitterly, to be honest, I don't know why, but my mood became uneasy.
If you think about it carefully, it's not a big deal, just explain it, but before the main owner came back, he was already so nervous.
Really, let's go wash your face and calm down first, and sort out your thoughts.
Shiraishi thought for a moment and set off in the direction of the bathroom.
There was a light in the hallway, so the light in the hallway was very clear, and a maid with a plate of food was coming in front of her.
"Well, dinner is ready, do you want to use it now?"
The maid said.
"Put it in the restaurant, Ruri will be back soon."
"Yes."
After the maid finished speaking, she raised her head sharply and met Shiraishi's gaze, and a sharp scarlet light flashed in her eyes.
In the scarlet light, three black magatama swirled, releasing a powerful pupil force.
After the illusion was successful, the maid took out a short knife from under the plate and stabbed it mercilessly towards Shiraishi's heart.
The expression on Shiraishi's face did not loosen in the slightest.
The short knife in the maid's hand did stab him in the body.
But in an instant, the scene suddenly began to change.
A huge water balloon enveloped the maid, containing a large amount of chakra, making the water pressure in the water balloon extremely heavy, and the maid felt that her body and limbs could not move, and she was unable to struggle in pain in the water balloon, spitting bubbles.
"That's it."
An icy voice came from directly behind Shiraishi.
If you don't dodge, you will definitely be killed, and the source of that murderous aura is far more terrible than the maid who raided you.
And the maid's stiff state at the moment, the reason why she would assassinate herself, was obviously controlled by illusion.
And after controlling the maid, he also set up a writing wheel eye illusion in the maid's eyes.
This is a double illusion release.
In the Uchiha clan, the ninjas who can do this are all elite shinobi who can count their names.
βοΌοΌβ
The attacker's eyes widened, and a pitch-black shadow appeared out of nowhere, in the form of a physical entity, a strange black shadow blade, each of which was enough to kill a person, and attacked him.
The sneak attacker broke out in a cold sweat and jumped backwards, opening a safe distance from Shiraishi.
So, what is that?
Shadow?
He touched the blood on his face, and at some point he had made a cut on his face.
If it had been any slower, his head would probably have been separated from his body by now.
There was neither sound nor quality, and if it weren't for his own pain sense acting to remind himself that he had been attacked, he wouldn't even know that he had been attacked.
Isn't this guy a medical ninja?
That's what the intelligence should have written, right?
Why is there no information about the dark shadow's abilities?
Shiraishi turned around, and the black shadow swirling around his body disappeared, revealing a pair of three-hooked jade chakra eyes in front of him.
You can see this mysterious Uchiha Kamishinobi, the look in his eyes is shocked and shaken.
"I'm sorry, but this little trick of illusion didn't work for me. Also, who are you? I don't think I've offended the Uchiha guys. β
Shiraishi looked at the Uchiha ninja in front of him with a little confusion as he launched a sneak attack on him.
He really didn't quite understand why the Uchiha's ninja wanted to assassinate him.
The murderous aura just now, as well as the illusion used on the maid, are obviously real acts, not jokes.
"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"
Instead of answering Shiraishi, he attacked Shiraishi with fire.
A huge fireball rushed from the front, causing the surrounding air to become scorching.
Shiraishi sighed and scratched his head.
I can't help it, what is it?
As he scratched his head, the shadow seeped out of the shadows, condensing into a dark shield wall in front of him, bouncing the fireball away.
Behind Shiraishi, an Uchiha ninja with a black mask appeared there with an instantaneous technique.
The fireball technique is just a feint, which is his real purpose.
It's simple, but it's a very effective technique in real combat.
Whether it is ninjutsu or timing, the other party is very well handled.
And yetβ
"Ahh
Pain cried out.
Blood splattered.
Waiting for him in front of him was still a large number of Shadow Blades, and the Shadow Shield Wall adjusted its direction and transformed into a Shadow Blade attack, which was only completed in an instant.
That terrifying speed, even if the writing wheel eye sees through the pattern, it can't keep up with the attack speed that surpasses human common sense.
The Uchiha ninja's body was scraped and bruised, and he flew upside down.
Tumbling on the ground, leaving a trail of blood on the floor.
"You guy...... Did you show mercy at the beginning? β
The speed of the shadow technique's attack, even with the three-hooked jade writing wheel eye, couldn't keep up at all.
Even though Sharingan can see through the attack patterns of those shadows, his neural reflexes are far from there.
This also made him understand one thing, Shiraishi didn't have the idea of killing him from the beginning.
If there was any thought of killing him, he had already been separated by his head during his first sneak attack.
He thought that he had relied on his quick reflexes to make a cut in his face before he retreated safely from Shadow Blade's attack.
If you carefully use the Sharingan Eye to gain insight, you can crack the Shadow Blade.
Unexpectedly, all this is because the other party has been merciful to his subordinates from the beginning.
"Leave it at that. After all, this is your Uchiha family's domestic affairs, and I have no right to interfere. β
Shiraishi was distressed and didn't want to get involved in the muddy waters.
Hearing Shiraishi say this, the Uchiha ninja wearing a black mask stiffened, and he also knew who Shiraishi was saying this, and turned around.
In his field of vision, the girl's long black hair and face were as cold as frost, showing off her pair of bright red jade writing wheels.
It's the glass that just got home after the patrol mission.γ
She also didn't expect that the ninjas of her family would assassinate Shiraishi at such a time.
If you are dissatisfied with him, just say that you are against them being together at first.
The assassination at this time made Liuli have a bad premonition in her heart.
The Uchiha ninja wearing a black hood just glanced at Ruri's writing wheel, and his legs didn't obey him, and he fell to his knees on the floor of the corridor.
Ruri walked towards him, slowly crouched down, and removed the black cover from his face, revealing a look that was indeed so.
"I hoped my perception was wrong, but I didn't expect it to be you."
Uchiha off the fire.
The personal guard of the Uchiha Quartet, the leader of the radical faction of the Uchiha clan.
"yes...... I didn't expect your chakra illusion to be so terrifying...... It was just a split second that I was able to get ......"
Obviously, it is a three-hook jade writing wheel eye of the same level, but how do you know that at the moment of contact, his three-hook jade writing wheel eye ended in complete defeat.
You know, he himself is an elite Uchiha shinobi who is known for his illusions and fire escapes.
As a result, in the face of the invasion of Liuli's writing wheel pupil force, he had no power to resist at all, so he disarmed and surrendered.
He had a feeling that there was an almost essential difference between the glazed three-hook jade writing wheel eye and his three-hook jade writing wheel eye.
That shocking power was already located in another dimension, looking down on him.
Shiraishi didn't show a look of surprise, he knew from the beginning that this was the Uchiha Lihuo next to the Quartet Elder.
Because he remembered this Uchiha Kamishinobi's chakra, even if he was wearing a mask, if he felt it carefully, he could use the chakra to judge who the other party's identity was.
"Sure enough...... Elder Quartet is right, you are the future of the Uchiha, as long as you use this power well...... Kill me......"
Lihuo smiled with a resigned expression, and there was only death in his eyes, and he spit out these words from his mouth with difficulty.
"I can't afford that kind of compliment. Can you tell me what your reasons are for doing this? β
Ruri fell silent.
It is impossible for Lihuo to come and assassinate Shiraishi without authorization, because in the entire Uchiha clan, only the elders of the four directions can command him.
Behind this is the mandate of the elders of the Quartet.
ββ¦β¦ For the future of the family...... And also...... Your future ......"
Lihuo's face twisted slightly in pain, eroded by illusion to such an extent, and still being able to hold on, made Liuli look at him a little higher.
This is followed by a stronger injection of pupil force.
"Ahh
A howl of pain rang out in the hallway.
Liuli stood in front of him expressionlessly, his hands crossed in front of his chest, his eyes were glazed, saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his whole body was twitching and trembling.
"Answer me, what is your purpose? Depending on your answer, I can spare your life. β
ββ¦β¦ No...... Can't say...... I...... Can't say...... Kill me...... Glass...... Kill me......"
Lihuo uttered intermittent words, begging Ruri to kill him.
Ruri frowned, anger in her eyes.
Kill him?
How can it be so simple?
To be serious, I've put up with these idiots for a long time.
It's good for this village, it's good for this family.
Are these people so fond of provoking her little patience?
Whether it's the roots, the Hokage, and now you have to count some people in the family.
There weren't a few guys with normal heads around.
Liuli's patience was gone, and when she raised a palm and was about to perform some spell, her palm was held and stopped.
The person who stopped her was Shiraishi.
There was a hint of displeasure on Ruri's face.
"What are you doing?"
"Well, let's just assume that it didn't happen. Anyway, he's your people. If you continue to cast illusions on him, he will have a nervous breakdown and die. β
Shiraishi originally planned to confess to Ruri tonight, but she really didn't want to ruin her relationship with the family because of this kind of thing.
Ruri shook off the palm of Baishi's hand holding his arm, and his face was cold.
"It's best if this waste dies. I endured the root matter at the beginning, and I also endured the ridiculous and muddy where the third generation was, but these idiots are my clansmen, and as a ninja in the clan, I am qualified to know the truth. Are you going to stop me from this? β
Seeing that Ruri had made up her mind, Shiraishi also knew that nothing could dissuade her.
Lihuo's kneeling body fell forward, slammed into the ground, and lost consciousness.
"Throw this waste out of me, and I'll come back when I go."
Liuli dropped this sentence, her face was covered with a layer of frost, and she left with an instantaneous technique.
"What the hell, messy ......"
Then again, why did you come to assassinate me at this time? It's weird, isn't it? Shiraishi was confused and scratched his head in confusion.
Looking at the direction in which Liuli left, Shiraishi sighed faintly.
Let's hope nothing happens.
However, with Liuli's disposition, I hope she doesn't make trouble, just hope.
β
Minamiga Shrine.
When the war began, the Uchiha clan was obliged to contribute to Konoha.
As for who to send to the battlefield to fight, a large number of Uchiha Shinobi gathered here for an emergency meeting at night, following the orders of the radical leader Uchiha Quartet.
"When the war starts, there are advantages and disadvantages for us. Although many people will die, it also means that our Uchiha clan is one step closer to the position of Hokage. β
The Uchiha sat on the cushion at the front, his face wrinkled, and he spoke with a calm momentum.
"The third generation has reached the age when he is about to abdicate and make way for Xian, in order to accumulate enough fame to become the fourth Hokage, I hope you can work together."
"Yes!"
"The era of the Thousand Hands One System will eventually come to an end, and the future of Konoha belongs to us, Uchiha."
The Uchiha Quartet swept over the faces of the Uchiha shinobi who participated in the meeting one by one, and seemed to recognize their momentum and strength, and nodded in satisfaction.
These are all the elites of a clan, and this force is also a powerful capital to protect a clan and deter outsiders.
"Let's wake up from these dreams, stupid or not, Hokage Hokage's, just like a child."
The cold words reached the ears of all the Uchiha Shinobi present, and many of them showed anger and looked towards the source of the sound.
Ruri walked out of the shadows, and in the puzzled and surprised eyes of everyone, she walked towards the front step by step, not knowing what she was going to do.
On the Uchiha's old face, there was some movement in his expression.
Ruri walked up to him and didn't speak.
Rumble!
Everyone's faces were dull, their minds were blank, and the scene in front of them made his head turn around.
I saw Ruri quickly choke Uchiha Quartet's neck with the palm of his hand, and pressed hard against the wall, smashing a hole.
A look of pain immediately appeared on the face of the Quartet Elder, and an old face was wrinkled.
"Wait, Ruri, what are you doing?"
"Don't mess around!"
"Hurry up and release the Quartet Elders!"
"Are you trying to rebel, Ruri? Hurry up and let go! β
Those Uchiha shinobi stood up one after another, surrounded them, and either dissuaded or threatened with force, so that Ruri could put down the Quartet Elders.
ββ¦β¦ No...... Not right......"
The Quartet Elder squeezed these words out of his mouth.
"Isn't that right? Are you trying to say I'm wronging you? β
Ruri's tone was full of danger.
I didn't pay attention to the dissuasion or threats of those of the same clan.
ββ¦β¦ Your eyes...... Not right......"
The Quartet Elder looked at the three-hooked jade writing wheel eyes revealed by the glass, and said something of unknown meaning.
"Eyes?"
Ruri raised an eyebrow.
What's wrong with the eyes?
"I see...... I can't even solve it with a medical ninja, that waste...... Did the mission fail? β
Elder Quartet's face suddenly showed a look of realization, as if he understood something.
"Don't ramble around here, change the subject, you've me off completely, old thing."
In the face of Ruri's threat, the Quartet Elder turned his head indifferently and said to the Uchiha Shinobi who were about to step forward to subdue Ruri:
"You all go out."
Those Uchiha Shinobi looked at each other, not knowing why the Quartet Elder gave such an order.
"Go out, I have something to talk to Ruri alone."
Those Shangninas just hesitated for a moment, choosing to follow the orders of the Quartet Elders, and before leaving, they stared at Liuli with threatening eyes, telling her not to go too far.
Although they didn't know what conflict had happened between Ruri and the Elders of the Four Directions, it was not a reason why she could do anything to the Elders of the Four Directions casually.
After the Uchiha Shinobi left the room where the meeting was held, only Ruri and Elder Quartet were left in the empty room.
"Ahem."
Liuli let go of the Quartet Elder, leaving him to cough and pant there greedily and embarrassedly.
"Have you had enough gas?"
In Liuli's opinion, this is just a show for her.
Elder Sifang glanced at Liuli, and suddenly sighed and said, "It's a pity, if you just came in and killed me, it would be good."
Liuli looked at the Quartet Elder in confusion.
"What do you mean by that?"
"It's because ...... You haven't awakened the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye, Ruri. β
The Quartet Elder stared deeply at Liuli, and there was endless regret in his cloudy but bright eyes.
