Chapter 132: The Shrine Maiden
Kakashi, who had left Shiraishi, had the appointment document Shiraishi had given him, but for the first time, Kakashi did not think about immediately going to his place of work to make a secret observation, but walked in the direction of the medical department.
This feeling of being able to walk on the road in a grand manner made Kakashi feel the comfort he had not felt in a long time.
Although he himself does not care about continuing to work in the dark, if he can change to a more decent job, normally speaking, no one will rush to the shady industry. After all, it not only means that you need to hide all your interpersonal relationships, in addition to being isolated from the outside world by the task, it also means that there are hidden dangers to your own safety.
Even in this ninja world, there are very few ninjas who can threaten him, but if he is too careless, this head may be taken down one day and sent to the underground black market for a bounty.
His head has been paid a handsome sum of 150 million taels in the underground black market. Compared with the bounty amount of his father Qimu Shuomao in his heyday, it was tens of millions of taels higher. Among the ninjas, the bounty amount is higher than him, and it is basically the shadow of each village, and it is basically impossible for ordinary ninjas to reach this bounty level.
Thanks to this high bounty, when he followed Orochimaru, he was attacked by bounty hunters in the underground black market more than a dozen times a year.
However, even if it is now officially joined in the country of ghosts, it seems that there is still a gap between it and truly standing under the sun.
Konoha and many other countries have not eliminated his wanted warrants, which is of a different nature from the bounty on the underground black market.
The internationally led wanted personnel are genuine criminals, especially those like him who have been charged with 'assassination' of the Hokage, and their nature is so bad that even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Oni Country can only delay the time by avoiding the importance of Konoha and the Fire Country.
Help him intercept the denunciations of Konoha and the Fire Country, as well as the rest of the countries, which will definitely take a blow to the reputation of Shiraishi and the Oni Country.
Kakashi was able to think of that.
Countries that are hostile to the country of ghosts will inevitably cling to this point and attack on the pain points.
Although it won't cause substantial trouble to the Oni no Kuni, it's okay to add blockage.
Kakashi doesn't have a good way to deal with this, the traitorous ninja can't prove his innocence, and he can't clear the name of the traitorous ninja on his own, the initiative is in the hands of Konoha and the Fire Country, and he can only trust Shiraishi to handle all this now.
It's not just him, it's Sasuke too.
Thinking like this, Kakashi unknowingly came to the medical department, as if he had calculated the time, and when he came to the medical department, it was the time when the staff inside changed shifts and left work.
At the entrance of the medical department, Kakashi saw Sakura coming out of the gate.
The other party's long cherry hair began to be cut short, and a white coat was draped over his clothes, which was a little less immature and a little more calm, especially a pair of rather keen eyes, which made Kakashi really feel that the other party had grown up and seemed to be a trustworthy medical ninja.
"Sakura-chan."
Kakashi paused for a moment, then walked over and greeted Sakura.
Sakura, whose name was called, looked up slightly ahead, and Kakashi's figure suddenly came into view, and his pupils dilated suddenly, revealing a look of surprise.
"Kakashi-sensei!?"
"It's me, it's been a long timeβ"
Kakashi nodded, identifying himself and approaching Sakura.
However, before he could finish his sentence, Sakura raised her arm and struck a beautiful straight punch that swept away Kakashi's silver hair.
γ......γ
Kakashi looked at the straight punch that swung out from the side of his cheek, and if it weren't for his quick dodge, the punch would have broken his nose bone, allowing him to fly out in a parabolic trajectory.
He retracted his previous evaluations, and it seemed that his student's growth was not just medical ninjutsu.
"Even if you see a teacher you haven't seen for a long time, you don't have to use such a grand welcome ceremony, are you planning to murder your own teacher?
γ
Kakashi threw up his hands in surrender, his body imperceptibly taking a step back.
"What, it's Kakashi-sensei."
Sakura withdrew her fist casually and smiled at Kakashi, but behind the smile, there was an aura that made Kakashi shudder.
"Was that punch just now a temptation?"
Kakashi couldn't figure out Sakura's thoughts, after all, she was also an adolescent girl, and it was normal for her mind to be weird.
Kakashi comforted himself with this.
"That's right, to confirm Kakashi-sensei's identity. You see that this place is so close to the hospital, it will definitely make Kakashi-sensei feel at home."
After listening to this, Kakashi was indescribably moved.
Sure enough, this student loved him.
"Alright, let's go out and talk about it, it's embarrassing to be looked at here."
Not to brag, but Kakashi feels like a celebrity.
His appearance, in the eyes of many people, is not a secret.
At this moment of chatting with Sakura, many people have already stopped and realized his true identity.
The silver hair and mask, coupled with the short knife on the back, are all too familiar figures.
Although the people here don't think about taking his head to pay back the money, they still feel some discomfort when they are stared at by so many people.
"Alright, I just want to catch up with Kakashi-sensei, too."
Sakura didn't refuse.
After communicating with Sasuke that day, I learned from Sasuke that Kakashi would also come to the Land of Demons.
So, Sakura was surprised at Kakashi's arrival at first, but immediately regained her composure.
Leaving the medical department, Kakashi and Sakura wander around aimlessly.
It's not accurate to say it's hanging out, Kakashi wants to get a feel for the environment, and it's a good thing to have Sakura come along.
"Where do you start? How much do you know about me, Sakura?"
Kakashi, who didn't know how to speak, could only use this as an entry point.
However, Sakura replied with a calm face, "Even the guesses, plus the information provided by the Ministry of Intelligence, basically understand everything."
"It's you, among the three, your mental analysis skills are the best, especially this kind of detailed work."
Although he has been working in Orochimaru's stronghold over the years, he has also learned a lot about Sakura's affairs through Shiraishi.
A rising star in the medical department of the country of ghosts, there is no doubt that he is an excellent talent with a bright future in the medical ninja industry.
"Don't say all these things, I want to know, Kakashi-sensei, what are you going to do next?" Are you planning to continue to take revenge on Konoha?"
Sakura cares about this topic.
Although joining the country of ghosts is a fact of necessity, she still does not want to fight with her past companions.
Kakashi touched his chin and replied without thinking, "You may have misunderstood something At the moment when the three Hokages died, I had lost interest in Konoha. Also, I'm not going to make a move on Konoha either."
"Eh, why?"
Sakura looked confused.
"I don't know if Sakura-chan you know the truth about this part, the death of the third generation of the purpose is not my own hands, but he himself ended himself. Before he died, he begged me not to make a move on Konoha. So, I'm not going to do anything to Konoha anymore, and it's the same if I'm joining here."
Kakashi didn't hide it and chose to tell the truth.
"What about Sasuke? What will happen to his words?"
Sakura asked about Sasuke again.
Although she knew something from Sasuke, she couldn't guess Sasuke's thoughts.
"Sasuke's personality is more stubborn than mine, and he will probably not completely let go of the burden in his heart until his revenge is completed. Until then, whoever it is,
He can't stop his revenge."
"Will you shoot Konoha yet?"
Sakura fell silent.
She learned something through the Intelligence Department of the Oni Country.
Although it is not the whole thing, as long as enough key information is given, some secrets can be deduced.
The fall of the Konoha Uchiha clan is related to the political struggle of the high-level.
Unfortunately, the Uchiha clan is a loser. Kakashi nodded, looking at the distant sunset, his eyes narrowed.
"That's right, this crux of the problem can only be solved by himself, and outsiders can't help him. Konoha's current peace is based on Uchiha's blood and bones, and even after death, his people will not be at peace. It is his duty to repay this blood debt."
In other words, the likelihood of friendly relations between the two sides is almost nil.
Perhaps the most tragic outcome will be until one side dies.
And neither of these two outcomes is what Sakura wants to see.
But as Kakashi said, she has no reason to stop Sasuke, and she is not qualified to stop Sasuke from taking revenge on Konoha.
It was the fruit of the hatred between the Uchiha and the Konoha higher-ups, and as long as Sasuke didn't give up the idea, this battle between the Uchiha and Konoha would go on forever.
Just like the Thousand Hands and Uchiha in history, they fought with each other, entangled with each other, and fought each other for thousands of years.
The fall of the Uchiha clan may also be a continuation of the struggle between the will of these two families.
Standing on the side of the road, looking at the same sunset as Kakashi's eyes, Sakura's expression was a little sad, and her heart was very confused, even if she knew this, she couldn't do anything.
"Kakashi-sensei."
"What?"
Kakashi turned his head.
"Isn't there no possibility of peaceful coexistence in the world of ninjas?"
"Why do you ask?"
"I've been to the frontline for an internship before, and I've seen ninjas fighting with ninjas, and that kind of fight is completely different from the battles I've encountered between missions in the past."
Although it is only a local conflict, it is a common thing for a battle to break out, but the scale is not as huge as the battle in the ninja world, and because of the orders of the superiors, even if it is a battle, it will be restrained as much as possible.
Even so, violence and blood still fill the place.
Where there is fighting, there must be death.
"Although I'm tempted to say something, that's the fate of ninjas..... However, such a simple explanation is too perfunctory. I can tell you for sure that the Ninja World War has been fought four times so far. And the local conflict war has been going on since the death of the first Hokage-sama. During the transition from the Sengoku period to the present, only during the reign of the first Hokage Senju Pillar, there was a brief and peaceful peace. Sakura, what do you think is the reason for this?"
Kakashi asked.
"Will of Fire?"
Sakura thought about it and gave this answer.
"No, that's because the power of the original Hokage's Thousand Hand Pillars is almost like a god, and as long as he is alive, all careerists dare not come forward. Konoha also relied on this solid foundation to become the winner of the first three ninja wars."
γβ¦β¦γ
Unenvisioned paths.
Sakura felt that this was very different from the will to fire that she had learned in the past, or that reality and what she talked about in books were something that had nothing to do with her.
Sure enough, if you just become a medical ninja, you can't save more patients, you can't make the world a better place, and even when you encounter something bad, you can only watch from the sidelines and can't intervene.
Sakura subconsciously clenched her fists so hard that her fists became as hard as steel.
"Kakashi-sensei."
"Huh?"
"I've decided, I want to apply to the top to go to the front line of the battlefield and continue to go there for practical learning."
Not only ninjas and ninjas, but also between small countries
All kinds of contradictions.
Under the plot of the Oni no Kuni, the balance of peace has been broken, and he must do something about it.
On the battlefield, Sakura felt that she should go there instead of staying in the rear of the stable and living a protected life as a matter of course.
β¦β¦
Separated from Sakura, Kakashi is a little worried about Sakura's psychological state at this time, but he also knows that this is a necessary process for Sakura to grow up.
Compared to the war years, today's era can be regarded as relatively peaceful, and even so, the battlefield at the forefront is not a joke, not a battlefield for ninjas, and it is the same.
Life is born and it is gone, and the process of repeating the cycle has broken the spirit of countless people who claim to be resilient in their hearts.
It is an act of violence in which the parties involved in the war have only the victors and must be the victors.
If he did go there, he hoped Sakura would survive by then.
Stop in front of a huge building in the shape of a block.
This is where Kakashi will be moving in to work.
The Intelligence and Security Inspection Department of the Oni Country is also an extremely important intelligence department of the Oni Country.
This is a collection of all kinds of information collected from all over the ninja world, and it is organized and summarized, so to speak, as long as you eat all the things here, the vast majority of people and places in the ninja world are transparent in their eyes.
Kakashi belonged to the Airborne here, and Shiraishi gave him the position of security advisor.
It belongs to the direct subordinates of the Minister of War, and has the right to inspect all information and information here, to check and fill in the gaps, and to monitor those who have problems therein, but not to arrest them.
The real power is not high, and it is impossible to transfer personnel in the department, and even then, it is a position that many people want to get through their heads.
With this identity, you can directly contact the highest level of the military, and it is a sure thing to enter the core of the military in the future, and there is no doubt.
Kakashi, however, felt that Shiraishi wanted to set himself up on the fire for a barbecue, and leisurely sprinkled some cumin and pepper there.
As an airborne officer, it is already a bit eye-catching to enter such an important department at once, and as a result, it is so convenient that although he has no real power, he can learn all the important information about the country of ghosts and the countries of the ninja world as soon as possible..... As you can imagine, the importance of this location.
Information, intelligence, this is the basis that must be understood before any operation is carried out.
His original intention was to start working in a more secretive spy department, so that he could relax for a while before considering promotion.
In this way, Shiraishi has already arranged all his future paths.
"Security Consultant...... This job doesn't look safe at all."
Is it true that such a conspicuous position will not be eye-catching?
Kakashi sputtered, took the appointment papers, and entered the building under the watchful eye of the doorman.
I came here today not to work, but to understand the environment and roads here, and to confirm the location of each cadre's office, so as not to find the way when I come here later.
Subconsciously, Kakashi remembered that in the past, when he was just stuffed into the Konoha Dark Organization by his mentor Mizumon, it seemed to be in the same state.
0
Past, future, present.
Which one is the real me?
The stream used to draw water in the forest conveys the fresh breath of flowers and plants, and looking at the reflection of oneself reflected on the water, this face is expressionless, as if it is blank, and does not exist in this world.
Danzo, Orochimaru, Konoha, Iwakushi, Mistin, Sand, Cloud, and even unknown small countries...... Dou recalls his past experiences, which can be said to be colorful, and has experienced wonderful things that many people can't imagine in their lives.
Trying his best to outwit, fighting to the death, wearing different masks, and traveling around in various identities.
Unconsciously, the trajectory of his own spy has left traces on so many people and so many countries.
But none of these traces were worth his long stay, nor were they worth his painstaking efforts to remember.
"Orochimaru-sama looks like he's really dead."
Dou's tone was full of regret and sadness, and revealed a little dazed.
More than a week had passed, and he had walked through all of the Tanokuni strongholds, and no trace of Orochimaru had been found.
Even, even the existence of Yinyin Village disappeared silently from the ninja world.
Dou shuddered at the result.
The more you understand Orochimaru, the more you understand the horror of the other party.
However, such a terrible person, who claims to want to master all ninjutsu and gain eternal life, is so vulnerable in front of stronger people.
Orochimaru dies, and he loses his purpose in life again.
Once again, he became the 'Nameless'.
Where am I going next?
What to do?
Looking at his own reflection on the water, his eyes behind the lenses were full of confusion.
Unable to think, my head went blank.
Suddenly, his ears moved.
A breaking sound struck.
Immediately after, a pebble fell into the water.
The reflection of his face on the water was disrupted, causing ripples and ripples.
Jumping backwards consciously, the chakra was condensed in his hand, and a chakra scalpel was synthesized in the palm of his hand, staring ahead.
On the other side of the stream, a figure appeared at some point.
She wore a red and white dress with a blank mask, and her slightly dull yellow hair fluttered in the wind.
A pair of eyes under the mask shimmered with a calm glow.
"The shrine maiden of the Oni Country..... Are you here to do the finishing work?"
Dou put away the confused expression he had before.
For a multi-agent like him, it is not difficult to put on a new mask anytime and anywhere.
He looked at the witch with a look of wariness in his eyes.
He knew best what kind of role the wandering witch of the Oni Country played in various countries and regions.
In the past, he had also directly fought with several of them for some things.
They are some ninja groups with excellent medical ninjutsu and all kinds of strange secret arts, which are extremely troublesome to deal with.
They wear the garments of shrine maidens, but they never do the work of the clergy, and they are the sharp fangs of the Oni Country that infiltrates the borders of the nations.
The most frequent haunts are small countries that are experiencing civil wars.
On the other side of the stream, the shrine maiden on the other side of the stream, facing the questioning of her pocket, did not open her mouth, and slipped out of her pure white sleeve, a scythe connected by iron chains, and at the other end of the chain, a meteor hammer the size of a human head and covered with hard spikes.
The whole holy body exudes an ominous aura.
Compared to the witch, the other party looks more like a demon in the picture book of the ghost country story at the moment.
The combination of the sickle and the meteor hammer shows this bloody violence to the fullest.
Dou slowly moved his steps, trying to distance himself from such a dangerous person again.
As soon as he moved, the shrine maiden seemed to sense something, and shook her arm hard.
The spiked meteor hammer immediately pierced the air and flew towards its pocket like a meteor.
