Escaping the Mist Ninja starts with backstabbing your teacher.

Yekura learned about the current situation of Sunagakure from the scroll and discovered that the former Jinchuriki, the old monk Bunpuku, had passed away.

Because of the One-Tailed Beast, Sunagakure has already had three Jinchūriki. During this time, the One-Tailed Beast went berserk multiple times, and Rasa managed to suppress it each time.

The current Jinchūriki is Gaara, Rasa's third son, who was sealed away by Elder Chiyo under Rasa's care.

"Magnetic Release?" Yekura murmured softly, her expression somewhat complicated.

In retrospect, one of the reasons why Sunagakure was willing to betray her was because she used Scorch Release rather than Magnet Release.

The Second Kazekage created Magnet Release, which was designed to counter the One-Tailed Beast and has a built-in sealing effect, which now seems to be quite effective.

Today, Luosha not only allows for gold panning in the desert to supply the village's operations, but it also suppresses a rampaging tail to prevent it from harming the villagers.

These events all demonstrate that the village's initial decision was correct.

He couldn't help but sneer, thinking to himself, "They really have demonstrated their value to the fullest extent."

We've already learned everything we need to know. There's nothing wrong with Maki and Yashamaru, so there's no need to worry about leaking information.

However, in order to strengthen communication, it is still necessary to provide them with means of contact.

So Izumi looked at Maki, whose attitude towards him was still not very good, and said, "Extend your hand!"

Faced with the reluctantly extended hand, Izumi Kawa spat out a bone from her fingertip and gently touched it, leaving a trace of blood.

Soon, bones appeared on his entire palm, transforming into a skeletal spider. It gently shot out chakra threads, which landed on Juan's shoulder.

"Take this. It's a puppet I made. It can also be used as a summoning beast. You just need to inject your chakra into it, and it will be able to act on its own."

With continuous optimization, the Yin-Yang Seal, once engraved in the puppet, is now capable of executing simple commands.

Furthermore, due to the sealing technique, even as a puppet, it can perform remote actions using chakra without the need for chakra threads.

"From now on, you can contact us through the puppet, and the remaining blood has also been used to form a contract with another one."

"When the time comes, you can summon it using necromancy and leave a message for us."

"And by summoning this puppet, we can also leave a message for you."

The most stable and cheapest form of communication in the world is using spirit beasts to transmit information, thus ensuring secrecy and security.

However, some summoned beasts are responsible for transporting intelligence, while others sign contracts with multiple individuals and then transmit information through summoning.

"I understand. I will pay attention and keep in regular contact with my master."

Maki doesn't like Izumi. Although he saved Pakura, he's a Kirigakure ninja, and she can't bring herself to like him.

She still harbors resentment over the deaths of her parents at the hands of the Hidden Mist Village ninja, but since they were rogue ninja from the Hidden Mist Village, she can accept it.

Yekura understood the little mood in the roll and gave Izumi a slightly apologetic look.

Izumikawa, however, paid no attention and even used the Puppet Spider Vibration to transmit a message to Maki without Yekura noticing.

Sorry, but having power means you can do whatever you want.

Your dislike is meaningless to me; your teacher is excellent and very useful.

Therefore, unless you have the ability to take Yekura back from me, or become the Kazekage and clear her name, you'll have to wait.

Otherwise, your little emotions will only become a burden for Yekura.

Juan's eyes slightly opened, and through the bone conduction of the puppet spider, she glared at Izumi with a hint of anger.

But she understood that without strength, she couldn't do anything to the other party, and even words spoken could never become reality.

Therefore, she now needs to strive to improve her strength and become stronger, whether it's to win back her teacher or to clear her name, she needs strength.

Yokura didn't notice Izumi and Maki's subtle actions, but she didn't point it out.

He simply said, "The people monitoring you are still here, so you have to go out and lure them away before we leave."

Juan naturally understood this, so she nodded slightly: "Yes, teacher, I'll go out and buy some bandages to distract them."

After saying this, Juan, having learned how to control the puppet spider through Izumi's instruction, made it crawl into his ninja tool bag and hide there before leaving.

Meanwhile, Izumi and Yokura quietly left the room once the other's attention was diverted.

……

Under the shadow of the house, the two headed toward where Yashamaru was.

Ye Cang slowly asked, "What did you and Juan talk about just now?"

Knowing that Izumikawa possessed the ability to transmit sound through bone conduction, she could naturally tell that what was written in the roll's expression just now must have been something Izumikawa said through this method.

She hadn't brought it up in the room, but now that it was just the two of them, she couldn't help but ask.

Izumi said calmly, "I didn't say anything, just a little encouragement for her on how to take you away from me and clear your name."

Yekura paused briefly before resuming her actions, her voice drifting slowly across the room: "Sunagakure, I will not be returning!"

Having experienced betrayal and death, this place will only trigger memories in her heart; the things that have happened and the scars they caused will never be erased.

Even if she succeeds in taking revenge, she will have exhausted all her feelings for the Sand Village.

This made Izumi Kawa shake his head slightly; once something happens, it's hard to go back to the way things were.

Mei Terumi seems to still be trying to get him to go back, and her thoughts are exactly the same as Maki's.

Ultimately, it is the place that gave them birth and raised them, and the place where they grew up, that holds so many memories for them.

Unfortunately, he didn't have many pleasant memories of Kirigakure, only of the cruel and brutal clansmen and the cold-hearted teammates.

The few remaining connections were the result of his own efforts to maintain them, whether it was with Ao as his teacher or with Terumi Mei, whom he considered a friend.

Even Zabuza and Kisame, whom he had tried to contact, were the same.

Perhaps he was the loneliest one, never truly revealing his real feelings to anyone else.

Looking at Yekura's figure ahead, Izumi looked up at the unfamiliar starry sky, a faint smile on his lips. He was truly lonely.

……

In a corner of Sunagakure, Yashamaru takes care of Gaara, the last child his sister left behind.

Before his sister died, he was entrusted with taking good care of Gaara, because his sister was no longer able to give him maternal love.

Yashamaru looked at Gaara with heartache. As a secret guard, under Rasa's orders, he was not allowed to appear in front of Gaara except when he was giving him food.

Therefore, most of the time, he can only watch silently as the other person falls or cries, unable to offer any help.

This is what ninjas are like: cruel to the point of being suffocating, yet they still have to obey orders.
