Escape From Konoha

"How about it, Kakashi-sensei, I won the competition, isn't it great?"

Naruto, who walked back to the observation deck along the stairs, grinned at Kakashi as soon as he opened his mouth.

Although the clothes on his body were stained with blood, judging from the amount of bleeding, it was not a minor injury, but it felt as if he had never been injured.

"Indeed, I didn't expect you to win this game smoothly, which really impressed me."

Kakashi nodded and admitted that he underestimated Naruto before.

At this point, Kakashi continued to ask: "Speaking of which, the last move you used to defeat Gaara was the Rasengan. I remember you said it seemed like it was an unfinished move."

Hearing Kakashi's question, Naruto also understood and replied: "You said that, didn't Sakura say that my chakra control skills are very poor? If you want to further balance your chakra, You must rely on the 'external force' from the same source as yourself."

Naruto has tried various methods in the past few days, but has not succeeded in cultivating the Rasengan. This is because the chakra stability required by the Rasengan is too high.

Worthy of being an A-level difficult ninjutsu practice, even if it does not contain any changes in nature, it is not easy to practice successfully if you want to practice it.

"So you thought of using a shadow clone to help yourself balance?"

Kakashi pondered slightly.

Because the shadow clone technique is not a move he is good at, the shadow clone techniques he has used in these years of fighting are not as many as the shadow clone techniques used by Naruto in his usual training.

In theory, his skill in using the Shadow Clone Technique is superior to Naruto's. But in terms of actual combat, Kakashi felt that few people in this world could surpass Naruto in the skill of using shadow clones.

After all, as far as Kakashi knows, there is only one ninja like Naruto who doesn't care about chakra consumption and can use the shadow clone for exploring intelligence in frontal combat.

Therefore, it is both unexpected and reasonable for Naruto to use the assistance of his shadow clone to complete the difficult A-level ninjutsu called Rasengan.

"Yes, although the method is a bit clumsy, I finally managed to use the Rasengan reluctantly. Otherwise, I really don't know how to win this game. Gaara is too strong. I don't want to disturb him. Chakra, it is difficult for ordinary ninjutsu to harm him."

Naruto scratched his head in embarrassment and expressed his own difficulties at that time.

Kakashi nodded, not thinking that Naruto was lying.

The destructive power of the Rasengan technique is very dangerous. If it is hit directly, it will cause internal trauma that is more terrible than the jutsu fist. The system of maintaining chakra in the human body will be completely disrupted. Gaara was disrupted in his body because of this. The chakra system finally failed.

For most ninjas, once the chakra in the body is disrupted, it means losing the ability to resist.

Fortunately, Gaara's tailed beast transformation is not deep enough. If his whole body was covered by the power of the tailed beast, the power of Naruto's Rasengan would be greatly reduced.

But in that case, Gaara will also be forced to interrupt the game because of losing his mind.

Generally speaking, there are many reasons for Naruto's victory, but it is undeniable that Naruto has grown in this game.

Sure enough, I still care about the extremely stable Tailed Beast Chakra on Naruto, which is completely different from the usual situation. Kakashi sighed inwardly.

But also know that now is not the time to ask about such things.

Moreover, he believed that Shiraishi would be more aware of this change in Naruto than he was. From the beginning, this game was deliberately arranged like this, allowing the two jinchuriki to fight each other and watch what happened to the jinchuriki. Some possibility.

If you try it yourself, it will be superfluous.

"Next, let Sakura heal you, and then wait for the next round of competition."

Kakashi asked Sakura to treat Naruto's injuries, and then began to pay attention to the new round of competition on the field below.

Sasuke faces off against the genin Hibikieda of the Demon Country.

Although judging from the strength of the two, if both are at their peak, it will be a thrilling quality match.

But Kakashi frowned when he saw Sasuke, who was covered in injuries and standing on the stage, breathing lightly.

At this time, Sasuke had not recovered much at all. It was undoubtedly a very unwise choice to deal with a super powerful genin who was almost full in this state.

"Sasuke...is he okay?"

Naruto accepted Sakura's treatment, and then followed Sasuke's game. Seeing Sasuke's current state, he asked with some concern.

"I've already said it, but if Sasuke insists on having a competition, there's nothing I can do about it."

Sakura also said worriedly beside her.

With the protection of the competition rules, she didn't worry much about Sasuke's life safety, but she was afraid that if something happened on the competition field, she would regret it later.

"But, having said that, Naruto, are you really hurt?"

Sakura turned her attention to Naruto, rolled up Naruto's sleeves, and gently poked Naruto's arm with her slender fingers, looking suspicious.

"Of course he's injured. Look at the blood on his clothes!"

Naruto said pointing to the blood stains on his clothes.

"Yeah?"

Sakura's expression became even weirder.

She knew that Naruto had a weak head, but she wouldn't joke with her in a place like this.

However, she carefully checked several times and found no serious injuries. At most, they were some skin injuries, which could be quickly recovered with low-level healing techniques.

However, based on the amount of bleeding in Naruto's arm, it was impossible for it to be just a skin injury. At the very least, it would be to the extent that the entire arm was disabled.

The result cannot be seen.

According to Sakura's examination, the arm was in very healthy condition, and the meridians that circulated chakra were also quite intact. There was no blockage at all, and it didn't look like it was seriously injured.

This was the first time Sakura had seen this situation, and she didn't know how to deal with it.

At this time, Kakashi's words rang in his ears: "Just take care of the skin trauma. Naruto's other injuries should be fine."

"Eh? Is that so?"

Sakura looked back at Kakashi and made a sound of surprise.

"Naruto's body has extremely strong self-healing power, don't mind it."

Kakashi's explanation still made Sakura feel confused.

If Naruto really has this kind of recovery ability, then this kind of recovery power would be too terrifying.

For a moment, Sakura looked at Naruto's eyes, a faint green light glowed, which was very penetrating.

"Um, what's wrong with you, Sakura? Why are you looking at me like this?"

Seeing Sakura's eyes suddenly become strange, Naruto tensed up for some reason, feeling an ominous premonition.

"Uh...it's nothing. I just think you are in good health, Naruto. If you don't mind, can you let me draw some blood later? I think your blood will be very useful in my medical work."

If Naruto's physique is really as Kakashi said, then Sakura feels that even blood will be of great benefit to her medical research work.

Well, this is for the future of Konoha.

"No problem, for Sakura, you can smoke as much as you want!"

Naruto showed his strong arms and laughed.

At this moment, the competition below has officially started.

The moment the examiner Onijima Shinobu announced the start, Sasuke struck first, forming seals with his hands, puffing up his cheeks, and releasing the chakra accumulated in his mouth in one breath.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

In the fog branch opposite him, he saw that the fireball continued to emit intense heat, and the surrounding air also showed obvious bending marks under this high temperature.

Compared with Tokidori, Sasuke is a ninja who is very proficient in both thunder and fire escapism.

Although he didn't learn the high-level ninjutsu in Fire Dungeon, the conventional Fire Dunjutsu has surpassed the power of Sasuke's Lightning Dunjutsu.

Facing such a dazzling and intense fireball, it was naturally impossible for Wuzhi to resist with his own body.

He took off the bamboo tube hanging from his waist, and at the same time stepped back, pulled out the plug of the bamboo tube, and shook it vigorously.

The torrent flashed and flew out of the bamboo tube, turning into an indestructible sharp blade, cutting the fireball in half from the middle.

Then a large number of shurikens flew over from a distance. The sharp blades turned into sharp currents and turned back with a sense of precaution. After contacting the shurikens, they made a metal-metal collision sound and flew towards Wu Zhi's hand. All the swords were shot down.

When the Water Blade moved, Kirizhi's body also moved and rushed towards Sasuke.

Wu Zhi's seemingly slender and weak body was as unstoppable as a whirlwind when he ran away. His black hair was flying as he ran, and he shortened the distance between him and Sasuke in almost the blink of an eye. , punched hard.

Sasuke crossed his hands in front of him to protect him and withstood Kirizhi's punch.

boom!

Sasuke's body fell back, his chest felt tight, and his face turned pale. It looked like he was barely able to block Kirizhi's punch.

This woman is indeed very strong! Although he had expected it, after taking the blow from the Kirizhi, Sasuke finally understood what kind of terrifying explosive power was hidden in the petite body of the seemingly weak girl in miko uniform in front of him.

"I will not show mercy to you just because you are injured!"

The voice came from behind. Sasuke was shocked and turned around immediately, only to see Kirizhi turn into a fist. The moment Sasuke turned around, the palm hit Sasuke directly on the chin.

Sasuke's head buzzed and trembled, and for a moment, his consciousness fell into a blank.

Sasuke's body flew out weakly and rolled to the ground, rolling for more than ten meters before he could stop.

Standing up with his hands to support his body, Sasuke coughed violently, and the tiredness on his face was obvious.

"In this case, we can only give it a try."

Sasuke was unwilling to fall in such a place, and a look of determination flashed through his opened Sharingan.

The black tattoo began to center on Sasuke's neck and spread toward the body.

Although using the curse seal in the current physical state is too reluctant, if you want to win, this is the only way.

"Well……"

Suddenly, a hot tingling sensation came from the neck, causing Sasuke to close his eyes subconsciously, breathing disorderly.

When he opened his eyes, the touch of cold skin on his face made him wake up instantly, and he saw that Wu Zhi had come to him and covered his face with her palms.

Before Sasuke had time to think about it, his body was directly out of balance, and with his head on the ground, he was pressed down forcefully by Wuzhi.

boom!

The head hit the ground fiercely, and the entire floor bulged upwards.

Sasuke spat out blood from his mouth suddenly, the muscles of his face twisted together in pain, and the black tattoos retracted into the curse marks on his neck like a tide.

Powerlessness, despair and other emotions flooded Sasuke's heart, and then the whole person lost consciousness, his legs and feet twitched twice, and he fell to the ground motionless.

The battle ended faster than anyone imagined.

But this is a layman's view. In the eyes of discerning ninjas, it is impossible for even an elite who has inherited the Uchiha clan to rely on a seriously injured body to deal with a powerful genin who is almost in full condition.

Sasuke was defeated so quickly, completely within their expectations.

Seeing Sasuke fainted on the ground, Kirie slowly stood up from Sasuke and glanced at Onigashima Ninja. The meaning was self-evident, hoping that the result of the game would be announced quickly.

"The winner rings the fog branch."

Onigashima Shinobi was also very straightforward. In his eyes, this game was just a process. The situation was completely one-sided and there would be no miracles or accidents.

The medical ninjas outside the barrier carried the injured Sasuke onto a stretcher as usual and sent him to the infirmary for treatment.

"It is indeed a battle without any suspense. They all told him not to force himself. He is really a stubborn guy..."

Kakashi shook his head helplessly.

If Sasuke had abstained from the beginning, there would be no need to suffer this physical pain. However, the other party's pride may not allow him to lose without a fight.

To a certain extent, Sasuke's character is very similar to Naruto's, not admitting his failure until the end.

Naruto's eyes showed a look of disappointment, Sasuke was eliminated here, so it was a pity that the agreement with Sasuke to fight in this final was scrapped.

"The genin of the Demon Country are too strong. Among the remaining players on the field, except for Naruto and a genin from Kirigakure, the rest are all genin from the Demon Country."

Hong said with a solemn expression.

As jounin, they naturally have to consider more aspects.

In this final, it can be said that the genin of the Demon Country stole the show.

Not surprisingly, the champion of the finals will also belong to the Kingdom of Ghosts, while the ninjas from other forces are just green leaves to set off the other side, and they are foils.

Considering that the Kingdom of Oni has been very aggressive in recent years, it would not be a good thing for Konoha if it successfully defeated the ninjas from other ninja villages in the joint chunin examination.

"There is nothing we can do about it. I can only say that our genin training is still slightly lacking."

Asuma smoked a cigarette and blew out a smoke ring.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that most of the genin from the Kingdom of Demon participating in the finals have strength that surpasses that of the chuunin.

As for the jounin level, it's hard to say, but even if the jounin goes down in person, he must be 100% vigilant when facing several of these monsters.

"Next, it depends on which side wins, the Kingdom of Demons and Kirigakure."

Kurenai nodded, looking at Ai and Kimimaro walking towards the competition venue from the stairs on both sides, eyes slightly focused.

Her intuition told her that these two genin had completely different auras from the other genin. They had a very dangerous power that made even her jounin feel terrified.

Maybe they will be the two strongest among all the genin participating in the finals.

"Is Kimimaro really okay? Once his body enters a high-intensity battle, it will..."

Bai was about to say something, but he suddenly stopped here, with a worried look in his eyes.

Zabuza, who was the instructor of the Jonin, was slightly silent and said, "Who knows, but it's just a game, so it shouldn't be a big deal."

However, even Zabuza himself didn't believe these words, and could only pray that the other party could get through the finals safely.

◎

In the ward, two medical ninjas wearing white coats and masks were treating Sasuke, who was lying on the bed.

"You are such a messy boy. Your body is already riddled with holes. If you continue to mess around without treatment, you may leave permanent roots of the disease."

A medical ninja slowly shook his head towards Sasuke who was unconscious on the hospital bed.

"You're right, these little devils just know how to mess around and make medical treatment more difficult for us."

Another medical ninja also complained.

Not only Sasuke, most of the other genin who were injured and comatose in the ward were also in this situation. They pushed their bodies too much and had to fight even if their bodies collapsed, which added a lot of trouble to their medical work.

Just as they were preparing for the next step of treatment, a voice came from behind:

"Leave this child's medical care to me, and you can go and do other things."

A man and a woman appeared at the door of the ward. The woman who was speaking was about twenty years old. She was wearing the same white coat as them. It was not difficult to tell that she was a medical ninja.

The man next to her had short black hair and had the uchiha fan mark embroidered on his clothes.

"yes."

Recognizing their identities, the two medical ninjas didn't say much. They immediately interrupted their medical work on Sasuke and walked quickly outside the ward to make room.

After the two medical ninjas left, a man and a woman walked into the ward. The man closed the door of the ward tightly to prevent outsiders from entering.

"I'm just a big-ass brat. Do you need to come here in person, Lin?"

After the man closed the door, he clasped his hands behind his head, looked lazily at Sasuke lying on the hospital bed, and spoke his mind.

"There is no way. This child has been staying in Konoha. It is difficult for us to control his body in real time. Moreover, he is a 'seed' that Mr. Shiraishi takes care of personally. It is safer for me to check it myself."

This man and woman are Obito and Rin.

As they were once missing persons in Konoha, they naturally could not show up in such an occasion.

Of course, this is not because they are afraid of Konoha. Even if they are exposed, Konoha will have no way to do anything about it. It is because they, as the Kingdom of Demons, have hidden combat power and have not yet made their official appearance.

"Yeah?"

Obito still didn't care.

"Don't say that, Obito, he is also a member of your tribe."

Lin smiled slightly.

"I understand, then leave the job of guarding the gate to me. During this period, no one will be allowed to disturb Lin's work."

"Well, then I'm counting on you, Obito."

Lin nodded, stretched out her hand, circulated the senjutsu chakra in her body, and gently placed it on Sasuke's chest.

Sasuke's originally painful expression calmed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his pale skin began to regain its color.

Seeing that Sasuke had been pulled back from the edge of serious injury under the treatment of his own medical magic, he only needed to rest for a day before his body could recover.

"Next, it's official work."

The gentle expression on Lin's face suddenly turned serious.

Generally, medical ninjas would perform simple surgeries and medical equipment to examine the body, and then obtain the body's physical information. However, for Lin, who has mastered the art of spiritual transformation, there is no need to be so troublesome. Moreover, Sasuke's situation is a bit special, and he can only investigate clearly by using the technique of spiritual transformation to enter the other party's spiritual world.

Lin took a deep breath, began to form seals with her hands quickly, and slowly closed her eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Lin's body was wrapped in a dazzling and intense light. This dazzling light held Lin's spiritual body, enveloped Sasuke's body, and then disappeared.

Feeling that the surrounding environment suddenly became quiet, Lin opened her eyes. The scene before her eyes was no longer a ward, but a long, narrow and dim corridor.

The visible field of vision is very narrow. The deeper you look, you can only see a vast darkness that is bottomless.

"Is this the child's spiritual world?"

Lin looked at the completely enclosed rooms on both sides of the corridor, thoughtfully.

The spiritual world exists deep in the heart of a person, hiding the truest side of a person. Generally speaking, this kind of place is not easily opened to outsiders.

Now that Sasuke is in a coma, both physically and mentally, he is in a state of extreme lack of vigilance, which is why he is so easily invaded by Lin.

However, Lin had no intention of exploring these secrets of Sasuke, because these secrets were sealed by Sasuke himself. Once they were forcibly broken through, it was likely to cause indelible trauma to Sasuke's spirit.

A little carelessness can turn Sasuke into an idiot.

Because the art of spiritual transformation is a forbidden art, it should be used with caution.

Lin kept walking forward along this long and dark corridor. The surroundings were quiet, and the only sound of her walking echoed in the corridor.

Finally, Lin stopped in front of a door. Purple-black chakra seeped out from the cracks of the door like smoke, and wisps of it drifted into the corridor.

Lin reached out and touched the door. The breath on it was very cold. The moment she touched it, Lin felt her hand lose consciousness.

Lin frowned, then breathed out easily, and a smile broke out on her face.

"This is what Orochimaru left behind, right? Natural energy, and the aura of Yin and Yang Escape. It's really a mess of spells. But I finally found it. All I need to do next is..."

Just as Lin was about to do something, she shuddered, turned her head sharply, and looked deeper into the corridor.

A colder breath enveloped it.

This sudden cold breath was not only cold, but also extremely overbearing. Lin felt that her spirit was being pulled by an invisible hand, and a look of pain appeared on her face.

An unprecedented pressure pressed on her body, as if a mountain was pressing down, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"Madara... no, this chakra is!?"

Lin's complexion changed drastically, and shock appeared in her eyes.

This was not the first time she had seen this cold and domineering chakra aura.

In the past, she had sensed this kind of chakra on Madara's body, and now, she also sensed this same chakra on Sasuke's body.

Such a scene surpassed Lin's cognition.

She didn't understand why Sasuke had the same chakra as Madara?

Just when Lin wanted to explore the truth in the past——

boom!

The terrifying explosion sound passed through Lin's spirit body and exploded in her mind, making her consciousness go blank and she lost the ability to think.

Lin's spirit body located in the long and narrow corridor was also directly torn apart by some invisible force. It twisted into a ball without any resistance in the corridor, turned into air and disappeared.

In the dark depths hidden in the corridor, scarlet light slowly lit up, like human eyes, cold and domineering.

"Ah... Asura..."

Like a whisper that traveled through time and space, it sounded in this dim space.
