Escape From Konoha

"What wind brought you here today, mother-in-law?"

In the reception room outside the laboratory, Shiraishi was entertaining Miyoko Uchiha who suddenly visited him.

He was still a little curious about Miyoko's purpose in finding her.

He knew that if Miyoko didn't have something important to tell him, she wouldn't come to disturb his work.

And if there was anything important about Miyoko, Shiraishi could only guess that it was related to the Uchiha clan.

However, the arrangement of the Uchiha clan, as the patriarch Liu Li, should have been looking for a special person to arrange it. Uchiha, who has power in the three worlds of the country of ghosts, military, government and finance, will not dare to make things difficult in this regard.

"It's not about Uchiha, Shiraishi. I'm here to ask if you and Ruri are planning to have a third child. If the third is also a boy, that would be great."

Miyoko saw through Shiraishi's mind and laughed with some unrealistic fantasy.

"Uh…"

Shiraishi was also stunned for a moment, and then became helpless.

"Although I don't care, Liuli seems to be reluctant to have a third child, and now we don't have much energy to cultivate."

"Just kidding, I just said it casually."

Shiraishi didn't know whether Miyoko was really joking or had other plans, but Shiraishi knew that Miyoko felt a little sorry for Asuka's talent.

Like most traditional Uchiha clansmen, they believe that the only way out is to become a ninja.

Miyoko and his wife were forced to become businessmen because of their lack of talent as ninjas.

"Then, let's get down to business."

Miyoko put away her smile.

Shiraishi also sat up straight, wanting to hear what Miyoko had to say to him.

"This time I went out and met an old friend. I happened to see a more interesting thing. I asked him to get some for me. I suspect it has something to do with the tail beast."

"Tailed beast?"

Shiraishi was a little puzzled.

"Yes." Miyoko took out two red-skinned capsules from her pocket, which were some kind of medicine, put them on the coffee table in front of Shiraishi, and said with a serious expression: "This is the thing, after the ninja took this medicine, Something similar to the tail beast's coat was formed on the body surface, and the tail beast's chakra tail appeared."

Shiraishi heard Miyoko's explanation, picked up the two red capsules, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Is it a tailed beast coat and tail?"

"Well, although the color is different from the normal tailed beast Chakra, the feeling of rage is not wrong."

Shiraishi never doubted Miyoko's vision as a businessman.

She must be convinced of something when she said that.

"There is indeed a very strange chakra fluctuation, please wait a moment, I will go to the instrument to test it."

After speaking, Shiraishi picked up the capsule, walked towards the laboratory inside, and used the instrument to test.

Miyoko just nodded and sat quietly on the sofa in the reception room, drinking tea quietly, waiting for Shiraishi's test results.

About ten minutes later, Shiraishi walked out of the laboratory with two capsules. Compared with the previous expression, his expression was a little more dignified.

Seeing this, Miyoko knew the results of Shiraishi's instrument test.

The source of the capsules is extraordinary.

"How about it?"

Although she knew the result, Miyoko still had this question.

Shiraishi sighed and replied to Miyoko's words: "As you guessed, this is indeed a fortifying drug synthesized with the tailed beast Chakra as the raw material. The composition of the drug is a bit complicated, and there are some materials that I don't know. But I estimate that this should not be a finished drug, the development is not complete, it is only a semi-finished banned drug."

"Illegal drugs?"

"If people who take drugs have weak willpower, they will easily be deprived of their senses, causing the chakra in the body to go berserk. And taking this drug for a long time is also very harmful to the body, causing blood vessels and internal organs to burst."

To put it simply, for a truly powerful ninja, the improvement of this medicine is almost negligible, but for a ninja with average strength, the increase in ability is very objective.

Judging from the original intention of the drug development, it must be to create a daring army for war.

Hearing Shiraishi say this, Miyoko remembered the female ninja who took this medicine in the arena and fell into a rampant state. Although there was no burst of blood vessels and internal organs, her reason was indeed controlled by the powerful Chakra.

"and…"

Having said that, Shiraishi paused for a moment, and there was a gleam in his eyes.

"A few days ago, Kazuhime sent a prisoner from the country of waves to the headquarters. In the other party's body, there is a very special purple-red chakra, which is very similar to the tailed beast chakra. The residues , and some substances in this medicine are very similar. Basically, it can be judged that the prisoner sent over by Yi Ji has also taken this medicine."

"The Land of Waves?"

Miyoko knew that Kazuhime was on a mission in the country of waves, but she didn't expect that this drug was still circulating in the small and inconspicuous country of the country of waves.

Shiraishi nodded and continued to ask Miyoko, "I want to know, who got this medicine from?"

Miyoko didn't hide it either, and replied, "I entrusted a friend to get it from Tsuruta President of Tsuruta Enterprise."

"Tsuruta Corporation? That big international pharmaceutical company?"

Although with the rise of resource-based pharmaceutical companies, the pharmaceutical industry of Tsuruta Corporation has been greatly impacted. But even so, Tsuruta Enterprise has not closed down, and its size is also very large, which is not comparable to ordinary companies.

And that President Tsuruta is also a very famous big businessman in the ninja world, born in an ancient merchant family.

The money in his hand is said to be enough to buy a country.

"That's right. But according to my friend, President Tsuruta only bought this medicine from someone else."

"Who?"

"President Tsuruta did not disclose his client's information, he only said that the source of the medicine is the country of fire."

Medicines come from the land of fire.

Hearing this news, Danzo's gloomy and gloomy face immediately appeared in Shiraishi's mind.

This coincides with Yiji's guess.

Although Kazuhime's guess is only a reasonable guess, there is no real evidence.

However, based on the information provided by Miyoko, the client who traded prohibited goods with the president Tsuruta is likely to be the root organization led by Danzo.

Although the three generations of Hokage have not been able to use force to suppress the roots, they can use development funds to limit the development of the roots.

If the roots want to develop and get more development resources, they must seek external forces.

Tsuruta Enterprise may be the partner of Danzo.

Of course, all of this is speculation, and Shiraishi could not produce definite evidence to prove that these drugs came from the root. The collaborator of Tsuruta Enterprise was the leader of the root, Danzo.

But sometimes, just being suspicious is enough.

What's more, there are so many tails displayed behind the drug, and there are enough arguments for him to make such a reasonable conjecture.

"I know about the situation, but, the president of Tsuruta Enterprise, what do you want to do when you buy this banned enhanced drug? If you want to train private soldiers, this drug is not the best choice."

Shiraishi analyzed this.

He didn't believe that the president of a multinational company would not understand such a thing.

While the drug does enhance the ninja's combat effectiveness, it's not a very smart choice in the long run.

That President Tsuruta, it's not right to kill the chicken and get the eggs like this.

Miyoko showed disgust on her face at this time, and explained: "For the so-called face."

"face?"

"Little Baishi, you should know that. In this world, there are not only businessmen like us who follow the normal path, but also many businessmen who do not follow the rules. They are virtuous on the surface, but they are constantly involved in various illegal activities behind the scenes. profit from it.”

Even if Miyoko didn't have to point it out, Shiraishi knew a little about it.

In this ninja world, businessmen and officials are often hired to do business by ninjas.

In particular, tasks above C-level are basically high-level tasks that ordinary civilians cannot access. Only wealthy and powerful businessmen and officials are qualified and capable of entrusting them.

Although the merchants Shiraishi had the most contact with were the righteous businessmen like Miyoko who took the regular way to make money, but it did not prevent him from knowing that in the shadows of the ninja world, there were more wicked businessmen who were illegally accumulating money.

It's just that for ordinary people, that kind of world is completely untouchable and has never been heard of.

Once in contact, they are either assimilated or evaporated from the world.

"There is such a place in the ninja world. It is an isolated sea island without a name. It is shrouded in thick fog all the year round, and there is no mark on the map. It seems to be an alien place erased from the ninja world. It is said that there You can buy anything and everything you want, as long as you can afford it. Whether it’s people or things, you can sell them, and the connections and resources there are beyond ordinary people’s imagination.”

Miyoko spoke eloquently.

Shiraishi's eyes flashed after hearing this.

He had heard of this place.

It was a no-holds-barred zone unregulated by any law, relying on behind-the-scenes businessmen and officials to maintain order.

There are no markers on the map, and the isolated island has no name, and requires a specific person to guide you to enter.

People who go in and out there are rich or expensive.

But it is not without absolute poverty.

Because human trafficking is legal there, there are slaves who are not even poor people.

The pornographic gambling industry is also legal.

With the support of many officials, the merchant alliance there has no scruples to make it a paradise in his mind.

Many officials see it as a resort.

Whether it is money or stunning beauty, everything is there.

But because of this, there are many businessmen and officials who believe in hedonism.

In short, it is an extrajudicial place that is disgusting to normal people in every way.

"Then, that President Tsuruta..."

"There is a place called the ninja arena. The merchants let their subordinate ninjas fight on the field. The winning side can get the right to use the other ninja, which is valid for life. Many merchants like this kind of 'trading' ninjas. President Tsuruta is no exception. To make his ninjas win, President Tsuruta used this potion."

As long as you win the victory, you can fight for his face.

As for the life of the ninja, it was not in the consideration of President Tsuruta.

For a big man like him, as long as he has money, there must be ninjas who will work for him.

"Tsk, is this a hobby unique to rich people?"

Shiraishi has a new insight into the special hobbies of the rich.

Treating ninjas as slaves, combat tools for entertainment, is such a disgusting idea that those people can come up with.

"I don't have such disgusting tastes, Little Baishi."

Miyoko looked at Shiraishi slightly dissatisfied.

"I'm not talking about you, mother-in-law. Speaking of which, in the past, my mother-in-law asked me to take in an unknown blood-based bound ninja, maybe it's also..."

Shiraishi remembered something.

"Well, at that place, I bought it from an old friend. The other party has a certain relationship with our Uchiha family, and my friend is a good person with a special hobby."

Miyoko said so.

"Oh?"

"Yuwuchengyan, you should have heard of his name."

Miyoko revealed the identity of the other party.

"Dead businessman? I have indeed heard of his name, but he is related to the Uchiha family. I don't know about it."

Yuwuchengyan has a very good reputation in the business world.

The other party is the leading weapon provider in the ninja world, and is called the "merchant of death". As long as they pay, no matter who they are, they will sell weapons.

It's just that he didn't expect that Miyoko actually had a relationship with such a dangerous businessman.

Being able to establish a stable business channel with Miyoko, and provide the Ninja with talent or bloodline to the army of the country of ghosts, the friendship here is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words.

"Don't say it's you, even Liuli doesn't know about it. The cause of the incident may be traced back to before the establishment of Konoha. But today I'm not here for the purpose of popularizing the history. I will send the detailed information later. Now that the matter is over, I will ask you to deal with it, Xiao Baishi. Fighting and killing is not my area of ​​expertise."

Miyoko got up from the sofa and was about to leave.

"Please wait."

Shiraishi called Miyoko.

"Is there anything else?"

"I want to send someone to that isolated island to collect information. I'm a little concerned about the source of the drug. Mother-in-law, can Yuwucheng Yan cover up their identities and act cheaply there?"

Shiraishi asked.

Miyoko thought for a while and said, "No problem, I will ask Oya Castle to help with this matter. But let your people not mess around in that place, there are many countries' interests behind that place, if you take action there, There will be many more hostile countries in the world. The merchants and officials there are all big names in the ninja world."

Miyoko was afraid that Shiraishi would cause chaos there.

If it was someone else, she might not think so.

But Shiraishi was defeated even by the Kingdom of Wind, Miyoko couldn't think of anything else that Shiraishi should be afraid of and dare not take action in this ninja world.

Although the network and resources of that isolated island are huge, they are not comparable to a big country like the Land of Wind.

It's just that there is no need for the country of ghosts to make enemies internationally.

Moreover, such a place outside the law is very difficult to eradicate.

The most important thing is that there is no benefit to get rid of such a place except to provoke more enemies.

"Don't worry, as long as they don't mess around first, I will definitely not mess around. I like to play rules with others. I just want to know who these medicines come from, and I have no interest in that isolated island."

Shiraishi promises it.

Miyoko was slightly speechless, but she didn't know what to say. She hoped that Shiraishi could be more honest recently. Too many people are now focusing their attention on the land of ghosts.

Before the war with the Land of Wind, she had always been frightened. If the battle is lost, the foundation of the Uchiha family's final rise will also be lost, and they really have to choose to remain anonymous in the ninja world and live a precarious life of escape.

◎

The reinforcements arrived sooner than Kazuhime imagined.

A total of 60 fully-armed ninjas bypassed the pirate forces in the waters of the Land of Waves and secretly sneaked into the cruise ship at the port to hide.

This number may seem small, but during the non-war period, dozens of fully-armed ninjas are already a considerable force.

Furthermore, Kazuhime's purpose here was not to fight Konoha, but to prevent it from happening, so she had to ask for reinforcements from the headquarters of the country of ghosts.

In addition, there is a handwritten letter written by Shiraishi to her.

Investigations about some things have also come to the fore.

Two things were mentioned above.

The prisoner sent to the country of ghosts, the abnormal chakra in his body, is indeed closely related to the tail beast, but the main messenger behind it is ominous. The other party did not have any memories before he got the medicine, and his memory was maliciously erased.

Another thing is related to her grandmother, Miyoko. On an anonymous island at sea, a similar drug flows. Using the tailed beast Chakra as a raw material, it has been maliciously abused to create a banned fortifier, which is related to the country of fire.

Therefore, it is even more suspected that the illegal drugs of the tailed beast Chakra come from the hands of the root and Danzo.

Having the ability to get in touch with the tailed beast, and the medicine originating from the territory of the Fire Nation, can easily narrow down the scope of suspicion.

Among them, Danzo is the most suspect.

But there's no real evidence, so it's impossible to say for sure.

After reading the contents of the letter, Kazuhime didn't expect that there was so much involvement behind the matter.

Lonely Island, Kazuhime knew about this place.

In the darkness of the ninja world, there is such a place where no one cares.

A large number of merchants and officials jointly manage the land.

There was no trace of that isolated island on the Ninja World map, and its existence was deliberately erased.

It is said that as long as you have money, you can buy anything there.

Of course, this sentence is a bit exaggerated. For example, the existence of tailed beasts cannot be bought from there, and those merchants and officials have no ability to sell tailed beasts.

There are many, many things that are out of reach of that isolated island.

But it is undeniable that the network of people on that nameless island is indeed huge.

In the ninja world, money is not a panacea, but a lot of money can buy a lot of things you want.

There are all kinds of evil desires bred there, and the insiders call it a heaven-like existence.

To this, Kazuhime sneered.

It's just a trick to spend money to eliminate disasters. For that kind of place to exist, it must be bribed with the money of officials from various countries, and a lot of money must be spent every year.

Only in this way, that kind of place can be maintained to this day without breaking down.

"That isolated island is some distance away from the Land of Waves, separated by a large sea area, and there are several countries... But all of them are related to the illegal drugs that can explode the tailed beast chakra."

Kazuki sat there thinking.

Soon, she remembered that in the towns of the country of waves, there are many special shops involved in the pornography, gambling and drug industry, and a large number of gangsters escorting them. The behind-the-scenes forces have always puzzled her.

If the power behind these industries came from the businessmen on the nameless island, then many things that were not understood would be able to be explained.

The Land of Waves...Island...

Thinking of this, Yiji was suddenly shocked.

Because Ichiji thought that the Land of Waves is also a small island with a relatively closed geographical environment. Except for ships, there is no channel to communicate with the outside world.

In addition, it was blocked by pirate forces, but the country of fire did not respond at all to this.

This is so weird.

The Land of Waves is not far from the Land of Fire. The Land of Fire is the most important outpost facing the Land of Water, which is of great strategic significance.

In this kind of place, it is not surprising that the country of fire directly invades and conquers and controls the country of wave with real power.

As a result, the country of fire turned a blind eye to this, as if it did not realize the predicament faced by the country of waves.

Such a thing is impossible.

If the Fire Nation is really so slow to respond, then the Fire Nation is not the first of the five major countries, and has long been replaced by the other big countries.

Is it intentional to let it go... Or is it that some officials of the country of fire were bribed by businessmen with money... Or what plans are the senior officials of the country of fire conspiring against the country of waves?

These may all exist.

The only thing I know is that the country of fire has a full understanding of the internal situation of the country of waves, rather than knowing nothing.

"Island... It seems that it is necessary to go there and investigate some things."

If she doesn't find out the truth of the matter, she will be very passive in the face of the Fire Nation's next attack.

It is not known whether the roots of Konoha are involved. In short, all the situation is unknown now. If you want to gain greater initiative in the next action, you must find a way to figure out the situation on the island.

Behind the scenes of the illegal industry in the country of waves, is there the support of the island merchants?

Whether they have reached a secret agreement with the senior management of the country of fire, these matters need to be investigated by her principal.

On Shiraishi's side, she doesn't want to be troublesome for the time being, and she will handle the affairs of the Land of Waves in her own way.

Even though I thought so, I still have to make a report, contact the communication in time, and report the situation. If her actions in the Land of Waves fail, the headquarters can also make adjustments in time to save the situation.

As for how to get to the isolated island where her real name is not recorded, Kazuhime also has a plan. Cardo, who followed her to the Land of Waves, as the current president of Shionhua Shipping Company, must know how to get to that isolated island.
