Escape From Konoha
Vol 7 Chapter 1: the treasure
It was Konoha's 51st year, June, hot summer.
The third ninja war that lasted eight years officially ended with Konoha and Yunyin shaking hands.
Since Konoha's fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato passed away three years ago, Yunyin launched another attack on the Land of Fire, and fought fiercely on the eastern border of the Land of Fire and the area around the Land of Tang.
Although Yun Yin's attack was ferocious, but due to Konoha's extremely strong counterattack and Root's surprise attack strategy, the loss was quite heavy.
Coupled with the failure to break through Konoha's defense line for three consecutive years, the voices of the truce faction in Yunyin Village became louder and louder.
Therefore, at the end of May, Yun Yin sent envoys to Konoha Village to meet with the Third Hokage, and expressed his willingness to sign the armistice agreement, bringing the Third Ninja World War to a complete end.
As for the signing place of the armistice agreement, the two sides disagreed and argued for a long time. Finally, under Yunyin's relatively strong attitude, they agreed to formally sign this armistice agreement in Konoha in July, so as to notify the ninja world countries.
This is the first time in Konoha's history that an armistice agreement has been signed with an outside village in its own village. People with a discerning eye can already see that Konoha's attitude towards the outside world is getting weaker and weaker, and his strength has dropped to the freezing point in history.

In the dead of night, when everything is silent.
The attacker in the darkness began to move around. He squatted in the bushes in the corner of the courtyard, wearing a mask of oil paint on his face, and his eyes were fixed on the corridor of the courtyard.
Soon, he saw the purpose of his walk.
The other party was a black-haired girl wearing a twelve-piece Chinese dress. Her demure and elegant posture all showed the noble status of this girl.
Behind her, there were two guards following closely. Judging from their attire and the knives they wore, they were all master warriors who were proficient in using knives.
The noble girl strolled along the corridor and walked towards her room. The two guards did not say a word, and their sharp eyes looked around vigilantly to prevent accidents from happening.
After all, the princess in front of her is an important 'item' that their country's name regards as a treasure.
If an accident happened during their protection period, the two of them would be executed mercilessly by the daimyo, and even their family members would be implicated.
The girl gently opened the door of her room, and when she was about to walk in, the atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly changed.
The expressions of the two warrior guards also changed.
"Her Royal Highness, please be careful, the enemy is attacking!"
After one of the guards finished speaking, he pulled out the blade at his waist without hesitation, drew a gorgeous and cold blade light in the dark night, and slashed at the attacker who was quickly approaching the girl.
Another samurai guard also pulled out his blade, but did not act without authorization, but shortened the distance between himself and the girl, blocking his flesh and blood in front of the girl.
This sudden change naturally made the girl feel panic in her heart, and she took a step back in fear.
The samurai guard who was dueling with the attacker, the sword light he swung out, the attacker just sneered, turned his body, and easily escaped the attack of the sword light.
"What?"
Ordinary people would never be able to escape his slash, and the attacker in front of him was not an ordinary thief.
The samurai guards judged this, but it was over.
The assailant took out a kunai and brushed it across his throat faster than he could draw a knife.
The blood donation splashed out, and the body of the warrior guard fell to the ground unwillingly, turning into a cold corpse.
In the courtyard, the girl's terrified screams were soon heard, breaking the quietness of the luxurious mansion in the middle of the night.
◎
"waste!"
Daimyo Xiong Zhiguo, who was wearing a fine attire, threw the jade in his hand to the ground angrily, smashing it to pieces.
The guards kneeling on the floor felt the unprecedented anger of the daimyo, and their bodies trembled in panic.
"That is a treasure that I have carefully cultivated for more than ten years. How dare you let her be taken away from the yard?"
Regarding the fact that his daughter was taken away, he, as the daimyo of Xiong Country, was naturally very angry.
Compared with the pain and anger of the father when his daughter was taken away by thieves, it is actually nothing at all.
The real reason for his anger is the meaning of being a daughter of a princess—it can be 'sold' for a good price and bring him enough profit.
Therefore, the daughter is the 'treasure' in his hands, not a person. Only objects are eligible to become his treasures.
But things have already happened, even if all the guards protecting the princess courtyard are executed, it will not help.
Daimyo Xiong Zhiguo frowned in pain, and called out a name randomly:
"Red Shadow."
After his voice fell, a young figure appeared in the room at some point.
Kneeling on the ground on one knee, with his head lowered deeply, he respectfully listened to the orders of the master of Xiong Zhiguo Daimyo.
"I'll leave this matter to you, no matter what, we must save the princess!"
"yes."
After speaking, the ninja named Chiying disappeared from the room.
From the beginning to the end, his sense of existence seemed to be very thin, and his departure was the same as when he came, and it was done without anyone noticing.
"Go away, if you make another mistake, use your heads to visit me."
Daimyo Xiong Zhiguo snorted coldly and waved his hand to let these incompetent guards leave.
"yes."
The guards heaved a sigh of relief, obeying Xiong Zhiguo Daimyo's order and quickly exited the room.
◎
In the street in the middle of the night, a black shadow flashed across it.
The masked assailant carried a girl in a fancy dress with her mouth sealed with a cloth on her shoulders, and ran quickly on the deserted road. The guards of the Daimyo's mansion in the Bear Country who were chasing him had already been left far behind by him.
"Haha, I finally got it, one of the treasures of the Bear Country, and now I'm making a fortune!"
Even with the mask blocking him, he couldn't see the specific changes in the attacker's facial expression, but he must be beaming with joy at this moment.
The girl blinked her bright eyes, showing a look of bewilderment and fear.
"Don't think about escaping or committing suicide, Your Royal Highness, you are my most important purse."
For a bounty hunter like him, money is more important than life.
As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food, which is the true portrayal of bounty hunters.
There is an ancient truth circulating in the underground black market-in hell, money is the way to talk.
This sentence came from the mouth of a certain legendary bounty hunter.
Although the legendary bounty hunter seems to have washed his hands of gold and turned to other industries to make a fortune, many of his truths about money have been passed on by word of mouth in the underground black market.
One day, he will become such a legendary bounty hunter!
Let every bounty hunter remember his words of truth about money, and it will be immortalized in the underground black market.
Kidnapping the Princess of the Bear Country was definitely the most rewarding and dangerous reward mission in his career as a bounty hunter.
However, the reward mission this time is actually rather weird.
That is, wealthy business owners want the living, not the dead.
In the underground black market, generally speaking, all you need to do is take the body back for confirmation.
But the employer declared that if it was the dead Princess of the Bear Country, the bounty hunter who performed this reward task would not only get no money, but would also be hunted down endlessly.
In view of this, the attacker was also afraid that something might happen to the princess halfway.
After all, there is a difference between the living and the dead.
On the way, it is really troublesome to take care of her food and accommodation.
Therefore, the requirements of those wealthy employers are always strange. But it is also because he is a living person, which increases the difficulty of the task, so the bounty offered will be very generous. This is the reason why he is willing to take over this bounty task.
The price is in place and all the requirements of the employer are met, which is the only conduct of all bounty hunters.
Just when the assailant fantasized about what he would do after getting that generous bounty, at the end of the street that was about to turn a corner, a relatively thin figure suddenly appeared there.
Wearing a black attire, his face looks a little younger, probably not more than twenty years old.
It was Chiying, the guard ninja sent by the Daimyo of the Bear Country.
"A ninja?"
The attacker stopped in his tracks, and he naturally understood that the daimyo's mansion in a country must not only have samurai as guards, but also powerful ninjas.
Immediately afterwards, a slightly ferocious smile appeared on his face. Judging from the age of the other party, he was probably a young boy who had just debuted. The murderous aura on his body was very light, and he probably didn't see much blood yet.
Unlike bounty hunters like him who have been in the underground black market all year round, that is to say, he crushes the opponent no matter in terms of strength or experience.
Putting down the **** his shoulders, the attacker took out Kunai, intending to quickly resolve the battle. He didn't know how many ninjas would surround him. Once he was surrounded, it would be tricky with his strength.
"It can only be considered that you are unlucky, brat."
Ku Wushang was entwined with a sharp breath, and his figure turned into a jet of black lightning, rushing towards the red shadow standing in front of him.
Before Kunai touched Chi Ying's body, the attacker's eyes widened suddenly, and his body couldn't help taking a step back.
It's like instinctively feeling some kind of danger, and the body reacts faster than its own consciousness.
Chi Ying raised his eyebrows slightly. The attacker seemed to be pretty good, and he wanted to end the battle in an instant.
"No, you brat seems to be a bit difficult..."
The attacker's voice was low. Although he wondered why the murderous aura on Chiying's body was so light, it did not hinder his intuition for danger. The opponent was very strong, and he might be the strongest opponent he had encountered in the reward mission.
Chi Ying's face remained unchanged, he stepped forward and rushed towards the attacker head-on.
So fast! The speed at which Chi Ying was moving could hardly be seen clearly, the attacker was taken aback and immediately backed away.
"Wind Escape Beast Wave Palm!"
A blade of wind tore through the air and slashed towards Chi Ying's body.
The blade of wind rushed towards him, Chi Ying didn't realize it, but continued to speed up instead.
"Is this kid dying?"
The attacker couldn't understand Chi Ying's behavior, and even forgot his next move.
When the blade of wind was about to touch the body, a strange light flashed in Chi Ying's eyes.
I saw the wind blade, which was powerful enough to severely injure the human body, miraculously shuttled directly from Chi Ying's body, and flew towards the wall behind Chi Ying, leaving a claw mark of a wild beast on the wall.
Seeing this scene, the assailant's complexion changed drastically, but it was too late, Chi Ying's indifferent face appeared in front of his eyes, and a Kunai pierced his heart accurately, ending the battle in an instant.
"Your ninjutsu... Is it blood succession limit..."
The attacker smiled wryly, and understood where Chi Ying's ability came from.
It is the blood succession limit ability that surpasses ordinary ninjutsu.
In the ninja world, a noble talent that can only be used by a very small number of people.
Every ninja who grows up is a ninja with terrifying strength. This is an unquestionable consensus among ninjas.
What a pity, I haven't been able to become the legendary bounty hunter yet, so I'm about to die here... With this kind of regret, the assailant's vision became darker and heavier, his body became heavier and weaker. Fell to the ground, dead.
Chi Ying looked at the corpse of the attacker who fell to the ground, his eyes were extremely indifferent.
Then, he looked at the girl who was afraid to sit on the ground beside her.
"Come on."
Chi Ying looked away from the girl's exquisite face, turned around and prepared to return to the daimyo's mansion.
"That... I seem to have sprained my foot..."
The girl lowered her head slightly, her voice was weak, and she stroked her sore ankle.
Chi Ying turned her head and took another look at the princess, who was younger than herself, with a slightly impatient expression on her face.
"Woman, trouble."
"?"

"You did a good job, Chiying, you have lived up to my trust in you. You are indeed the most perfect ninja."
With the praise and approval from the daimyo of Xiong Zhiguo, Chi Ying still stood aside expressionlessly, as if the person who was praised was not himself.
Xiong Zhiguo's name is also used to it, and he doesn't care.
For ninjas who are loyal to him and capable, he still has this bit of tolerance.
Randomly, he looked at the girl who was rescued by Chiying, that is, his daughter, the treasure princess of the Bear Kingdom.
"Daughter, it's great that you're fine. When you were captured by thieves, I was sad for you for a long time as a father."
Xiong Zhiguo daimyo wept with joy, and held the girl's palm very kindly, expressing his concern for her.
The girl just forced a grateful smile from her face.
"Thank you for your concern, Father. My daughter is fine."
The girl knew that her father had no so-called family affection for her.
The reason why she has received so much attention is also very simple, because she is the one with the best appearance among the many princesses in the Bear Country.
This greedy and ambitious father only wanted to sell her daughter for a good price, not the kind of family love that a father has for his children.
"How can this work? This incident has reminded Weifu. As the treasure of the Bear Country, you secretly think about your thieves. Therefore, Weifu plans to add more protective power by your side. After all, you are the most beautiful gem in my father's hands."
A look of deep concern appeared in the eyes of Daimyo Xiong Zhikun.
"But it's up to Father to make the decision."
The girl knew that she had no right to refuse, so she could only obey the father's arrangement.
Xiong Zhiguo was extremely satisfied with his daughter's obedient attitude. He looked at Chi Ying, who was silent, hesitated and said, "Chi Ying, from today onwards, you will be Zhu Ji's personal guard."
A ninja who is ascetic and only knows how to obey orders is undoubtedly the best candidate to protect his daughter.
He didn't want this beautiful gem to fall into the hands of others again, otherwise, he would feel distressed for a long time.
"But…"
Chi Ying was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't show it.
Knowing what Chiying was going to say, Daimyo Xiong Zhikun closed the folding fan in his hand and said, "It's settled like this. For a father who loves his daughter, the safety of his daughter is the most important thing."
idiot! Chi Ying made such an evaluation of Xiong Zhiguo daimyo in his heart.
But even so, he still has to fulfill his duty, and he can't show hesitation and dissatisfaction at this time, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted.
Let Master Shiraishi decide this matter. Chi Ying thought helplessly in her heart.
Sure enough, the woman was a sign of trouble and would only get in the way of his mission.
Regarding the expansion plan of the ghost country, he dare not be careless, and any unexpected accidents must be eliminated as soon as possible.

Shiraishi read the intelligence materials from the Snow Country. After two years of continuous development, the roads in all parts of the Snow Country have been connected, and important facilities such as schools and hospitals are also in the popularization plan. About next year At the end of the year, maybe it can be implemented in the next year.
After all, the development of the Snow Country relies on the economic strength of the Ghost Country to bring about such a big change within two years.
Next, you only need to carry out the plan step by step to the end.
Speaking of which, it is thanks to the purge of a large number of nobles in the Snow Country in order to consolidate his daimyo status when Fenghua Nutao came to power. The raging waves are almost tossing.
When the kingdom of ghosts intervened, it was too late for the aristocratic forces to counterattack.
After killing chickens and monkeys, Snow Country has firmly grasped the "fate" system established by Ghost Country.
Thinking about it now, Baishi thought it was a very wise political alliance when he recognized Xiaoxue as his adopted daughter.
"Basically, there is nothing to worry about in Snow Country. I heard that there are many unidentified people lurking into the country through normal channels. Is there such a thing?"
Shiraishi put down the information files of the Snow Country, and turned to ask the messenger of the Intelligence Department in front of him about this matter.
"Yes, since November of last year, there have been a sudden increase in the number of foreign personnel lurking in the country one after another. And they all sneaked into the country to lurk in the country without going through formal channels."
"Is that so? It seems that the situation is more urgent than expected."
Baishi didn't need to ask, he knew the identities of these foreign personnel lurking in the ghost country.
Ninjas from the Five Great Nations.
The Kingdom of Ghosts initially developed by relying on the third Ninja World War as a cover, and was able to gradually grow stronger in this stable environment.
Based on this background, Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Company has become the largest giant company in the ninja pharmaceutical industry in one fell swoop.
With Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Company as the main body, the medical industry of Ghost Country has spread all over the ninja world. In recent years, the profits it has gained every year, even countries with the size of the five major countries, have become red-eyed.
In addition, some other changes in the kingdom of ghosts have also attracted the attention of various countries.
Now the five major countries are gradually unable to sit still.
They are inquiring into the core secrets inside the ghost kingdom, and determining whether a series of unknown changes in the ghost kingdom will cause severe conflicts with their existing interest classes.
Shiraishi said with certainty that the rise of the Kingdom of Ghosts will inevitably cause unimaginable destructive power to the existing vested interests.
It's just that this kind of thing, the ruling class of the five major countries, has not been able to predict such a situation.
They are accustomed to being high above them, so naturally they can't see the dust under their feet, which will pose any threat to them.
The intelligence information gap between the two sides is a very fatal point.
They came to inquire about the news of the ghost country, but it was actually more of a curiosity.
Therefore, in a short period of time, because of the ghost country's status as a neutral country, the five major countries will not act rashly.
Now that it is known that the five major powers will not take any action in the short term, the expansion plan of the Kingdom of Ghosts cannot be stopped at this time.
"It's enough to monitor them symbolically, don't startle them."
After pondering for a moment, Shiraishi gave such an order.
It is not yet possible to take decent countermeasures against the five major powers, and just turn a blind eye to these ninjas lurking in the country.
When the time is right, clean them up in one go.
"yes."
"Is there any news from other places?"
"There are some important news from the Bear Country."
"explain."
The Kingdom of Bear is the most important step in the expansion plan of the Kingdom of Ghosts, and it is also a country that must be conquered. Naturally, Shiraishi dare not be careless.
With the truce between Konoha and Yun Yin, the two sides will soon sign a truce agreement. In the future, the ninja world will usher in a period of relatively peaceful development. Before that, everything must be planned.
"Recently, the princess of the Bear Kingdom was kidnapped, which made the name of the Bear Kingdom furious."
"Is it the princess Zhuhime who is known as the treasure of the bear country?"
Xiong Zhiguo daimyo has twenty-three wives and concubines, seventeen sons and thirteen daughters in total.
Among his thirteen daughters, the princess Zhuhime is the one with the most outstanding appearance. She is famous all over the world for her beauty and is regarded as the jewel in the palm of the bear country daimyo.
Daimyo Xiong Zhiguo's food and clothing expenses for his daughter Juhime can even be compared to his eldest son, which shows how much he attaches importance to her.
From another perspective, a daughter who can be sold at a high price will naturally receive more attention.
"It's that Princess Zhuji. Because of her beauty, it is inevitable that some people will miss her, but this time the situation is more serious."
"Is there a conflict with our plan to deploy in the Bear Country?"
Shiraishi is concerned about this kind of problem.
"Regarding this matter, in order to ensure the personal safety of Princess Zhuji, the daimyo of Xiong Zhiguo has transferred Chiying away from his side and arranged for Princess Zhuji's side."
The intelligence officer sighed helplessly.
Chi Ying is an important spy personnel placed next to the Daimyo of the Bear Kingdom by the Army of the Ghost Kingdom. He has a special ability to limit blood succession, especially in assassination and concealment.
It is precisely because of Chi Ying's assistance that the military spies of the ghost country can quickly penetrate into every aspect of the bear country.
The folks of the Bear Country are promoted by the wandering witches trained by the Ghost Country's military, making the Ghost Country's reputation among the people of the Bear Country extremely good.
As for the officials of the Bear Kingdom, Chi Ying and others are used to infiltrate. From the officials to the daimyo's cronies, there are spies from the Kingdom of Ghosts lurking in it, quietly interfering with the nobles of the Bear Kingdom.
"It seems that this big name from the Xiong Kingdom really loves money like his life."
Shiraishi laughed with interest.
The bear country daimyo is a very ambitious and greedy person.
Over the years, he has used Chi Ying to unknowingly solved the political enemies who opposed him, allowing him to monopolize power in the Bear Country~www.readwn.com~ With the help of the ambition of the bear country daimyo, the spies of the Ghost Country can be so quickly in the Bear Country occupies an important position.
In the final analysis, Shiraishi would also like to thank the daimyo of the Xiong Kingdom for his ambition that does not match his own strength.
If it weren't for him, it wouldn't be so easy for the Kingdom of Ghosts to infiltrate every aspect of the Kingdom of Bears.
"Let Chi Ying stand by, don't show any clues at this time. The work of guiding Xiong Zhiguo Daimyo will naturally be carried out by other people."
Shiraishi is convinced of Chi Ying's ability.
Although the other party is a relatively slow type in terms of emotion and interpersonal communication, he is an excellent subordinate who is devoted to his duties.
Shiraishi began to think, if he can successfully win the Bear Country, what should Chi Ying be rewarded with?
It seems a bit vulgar to reward such a great achievement with only money and ninjutsu.
