Naruto Puppet Master

"Hehehe" That's right. The list in your hand is all relatively famous and prestigious people from all over the Fire Country.Originally, Yondaime asked me to capture these people for the sacrificial ceremony. I was worried that they were too scattered, but I turned around and saw you. "

"So, these people are all Daimyos of the Fire Country and have little to do with Konoha. Trading the lives of these people for Jiraiya, who has Kage-level strength, is a very good deal."

"Otherwise, you think you have anything else in Konoha that can be exchanged." Kohaku Ryu glanced at Hinata Hizashi and Uchiha Fugaku: "If it is really valuable, you might as well talk about it and maybe exchange part of it! "

"It's too big at this time, Hokage-sama, why don't we go back and discuss it!" Feeling the gaze of three pairs of white eyes of Kohakuliu, Hinata Hinata stepped forward with his head on his head and suggested.

It was not easy to find that the other party had no idea of ​​​​limiting his own blood stains for the time being. Hinata Hizu did not want to ask the other party to change the conditions because of the Third Hokage's rejection.

"Yes! Jiraiya is not only a disciple of Lord Hokage, but we are also one of the few strong men in Konoha. Such a big matter must be discussed with the elders. Even if we really refuse, we should let it go. The people behind will arrange corresponding protection for these people who have become the targets of the sand ninja!" Uchiha Fugaku said immediately.

"I wonder if Jiraiya has obtained any important information. Sarutobi-sensei might as well take the opportunity to ask for a few words with Jiraiya," Orochimaru said in a low voice.

Hearing this, the Third Hokage's determined eyes suddenly lit up.The Third Hokage really didn't want to do anything about Kohaku-ryu causing him to offend the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

After all, in the ninja world, only the Sand Ninja Village would fall out with the daimyo of its own country. No other Ninja Village would do that. Even if they are a little dirty in private, on the surface, there is definitely peace between the Ninja Village and the country. Harmonious, especially since Konoha and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire have always maintained a good cooperative relationship.

But even if he doesn't want to do it, the Third Hokage still knows that the relationship between the Ninja Village and the country is just a combination of interests. When there is a conflict between the two parties, everything is aligned with interests.

Therefore, if the interests are sufficient, it does not mean that you cannot harm the interests of the other party to satisfy yourself, not to mention that it does not necessarily require Konoha to do it by itself!

"During the war, isn't it normal for enemy countries to assassinate people?" Thinking of the information that Jiraiya might have obtained, the Third Hokage immediately said with hesitation: "I want to confirm whether Jiraiya is still alive."

"Of course." Under Byakugan's gaze, Amber Lu Min's sharp gaze saw the twinkle in the third Hokage's eyes. It was obvious that he was shaken.

At the same time, Jiraiya, who was once again trapped in the secret realm of the box and realized that he was not lost but trapped by the sand ninja, was anxiously looking for the exit of the maze.

It should be said that Jiraiya was not aware of the fact that he was trapped. After all, he was crawling through a maze-like underground pipes and wiring ducts.

It was just that he had previously learned about the puppet master's control over the puppet creation he was hiding in. In order to avoid attracting the puppet master's attention, Jiraiya could only explore carefully, and did not even dare to destroy anything to use as a road mark. You can only rely on your own memory to explore.

The result can be imagined. When he came out of the last upward climbing pipe more than ten minutes ago, he found that there was no more direct upward climbing pipe nearby. For this reason, he could only explore the side pipes in the hope of finding the upward climbing pipe. route, and in the end it wasn't long before he found that he had been crawling in a similar passage. There was no doubt that he knew that he was probably lost.

But if he just got lost, even though Jiraiya was anxious, he would not lose his mind.

After all, in countless similar pipelines, crawling in the dark but unable to make marks and identify road signs, getting lost is a normal thing.

But he also knew that although the countless pipelines themselves were very similar, some of them were somewhat different. With Jiraiya's vigilant observation, he believed that it was impossible for him not to discover the differences. Therefore, although he realized that he might be lost at that time, But Jiraiya wasn't too worried about not being able to get out.

Until Jiraiya finally walked around in a circle, he found a skeleton in a hidden corner, a human skeleton.

It's impossible to describe Jiraiya's mood at that moment. Those glaring frog eyes made him feel like he was going to collapse for a moment. I believe anyone standing in Jiraiya's perspective would feel an unspeakable shock.

You must know that Jiraiya is now a frog the size of a palm. Jiraiya of such a size saw a human skeleton almost the same size as him in an impossible place. This simply overturned his life of more than 30 years. Three views!

"Guagua" Is there really the legendary Lilliputian country in the world? "With incredible shock and questions, Jiraiya crawled to the skeleton, and finally he found small notes on the skeleton written in blood on the clothes of the deceased.

"Latercomer! No matter who you are, since you have seen the blood letter I left behind, it proves that you are already trapped here. As a senior who was trapped and died here, I only hope that you can escape."

"What does this mean? Trapped." Jiraiya, who was not aware of his situation at this time, continued to read with a strong sense of crisis.

"Maybe you have noticed it, maybe you haven't noticed it yet, but I have to tell you that now you are trapped, trapped by an inexplicable maze seal."

"How is this possible?" After seeing and recalling his previous experience, Jiraiya straightened his ragged clothes and continued reading with a gloomy expression.

"And I will tell you all the information I know about this maze. My only request is that if you really escape, then when you have the opportunity to retaliate against these bastards in the future, please join us. Submit one copy together!”

"Of course, if you haven't escaped, please leave the seeds of revenge like us! This maze will never lack prisoners."

"It seems that there was more than one person who died here before! Don't worry! Brother, if I Jiraiya really escapes, I will never forget your great kindness, brother. I will definitely take revenge on you. Together." Jiraiya swore secretly.

"Here's the information I know. I hope it's helpful to you: First of all, we are trapped in a maze seal."

"This maze is very huge and very fantasy. I don't know what this maze looks like in your eyes, but as far as I know, the maze seen by several of my predecessors who were trapped to death, including me, is They are all different situations

.

"With the help of the messages written by the seniors who were trapped before, I know that the layout of the maze was changed based on the thoughts in the minds of the trapped people."

"To put it more specifically, when you step into the maze, you subconsciously think about what the surrounding environment will be like in the future. Then the maze will become a similar scene, and it will be very similar in size and appearance. This is a design that maximizes the confusion when you first step into the maze so that you cannot discover it.”

"And its changes are not the influence of illusion, but real changes. The maze is also a real thing, and its confusion lies in the confusing effect caused by affecting our vision and strange sense of direction.

"If you think carefully about your previous experiences, I believe it should not be difficult to discover this, and the maze will only change when you first step into it, and will not change according to your thoughts after that. Don't think you can influence this place just by thinking about it.

Precisely because it is a real change, it is difficult for ordinary people to discover the seal of the maze at first. Unless there is external interference or reminder from special factors, the trapped person will definitely have to wander in the maze for a long time before he realizes that he is trapped. fact. "

"Damn it, if people like me who were originally exploring places like mazes hadn't encountered this skeleton brother, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought of this for a while." Jiraiya was agitated when he saw this. Congratulate yourself on your luck.

"And after being trapped, the first thing to note is: you must not try to attack the environment around the maze. You must not, because even A-level ninjutsu will not be able to cause much damage to this maze."

"And even if you do destroy part of the maze, it won't happen, because then something extremely terrible will happen."

"Your chakra will be absorbed by the maze. Everything around the ground, walls, etc. will absorb your chakra all the time. Those chakra will be used to repair the damaged maze. The more damaged the maze is, the more it will be absorbed. The more chakra you have, the more chakra you have, as long as the maze is not completely repaired and you are still alive and have not escaped, then this absorption will never stop for a moment."

"Second point: It is definitely not possible to get out of here in a short time, so you must save materials and chakra as much as possible so that you can last longer, and the summons of forward and reverse psychic techniques are not available here. It’s impossible for you to escape by relying on spiritualism.”

"Third point: Although there are very few traps in the maze here, the lack of them does not mean that there are no threats. On the contrary, every trap here is carefully designed by the puppet master. It is not only hidden but also very insidious. The most important thing is that they sometimes change positions.”

"The fourth point, and the most important point: I want to tell you that you can get out of here. This information comes from the first and second trapped dead who left information. They are the first and second batch of puppets trapped in the Sand Ninja Village. The teacher sent it in as a test subject, so he knows some information that the rest of us don’t know.”

"From the information passed down from the first and second generation test subjects, we know that this maze is actually a ninjutsu secret treasure made by countless puppet masters in Sand Ninja Village. It is one of the secrets of the puppet masters in Sand Ninja Village. The evil puppet masters of Ninja Village designed it with the idea of ​​designing the perfect cage."

"It's just that there is nothing in this world that is absolutely perfect! On the contrary, the more complicated something is, the more likely it is to go wrong. Therefore, they, who were already stuck in a bottleneck at that time, referred to the opinions of the fourth sand ninja Kazekage and no longer pursued absolute perfection. Perfection leaves a flaw, a very obvious flaw, and then strengthens other aspects to the extreme.”

"That's why this secret treasure with such obvious loopholes turned out to be an almost perfect cage. Unless you escape through the loopholes, there is no other way to escape from this maze secret treasure. , because if you can escape by any other method, then you can already destroy this mysterious treasure directly, and there is no need to escape."

"Therefore, the only way out here is to use this well-known loophole to exit through the correct exit of the maze under the watchful eye of the puppet master. As long as the trapped person can find the correct passage out of the maze, he can truly escape. .”

"During this period, you don't have to worry too much about the puppet masters outside, because although you are trapped here, the secret treasure of the maze also protects you to a certain extent. Unless the puppet masters of the sand ninja outside also come in, they will not be able to Those who directly hurt you outside must follow the rules set when the secret treasure was originally designed here, so you are relatively safe for the time being. As long as you can get out of the maze, you can escape."

"It's just that the maze is too huge and it's still changing. I'm the fifth person to leave a message, and we haven't even gotten out."

"Finally, I want to remind you that there may be some food and supplies in some extremely inconspicuous corners here. They were left by the puppet master of the sand ninja in order to allow the experimenters to persist longer. , and they didn’t take it back after that.”

"I don't know how long it has been since my death when you came, so I'm not sure how many of those things will be left, let alone whether they can still be used. So just pay attention to yourself, don't I had high hopes. I only accidentally found enough food for three days.

"And I'm sorry, I can only leave similar trace descriptions for things like traps to give you a chance to notice them, but I can't leave any specific information because this maze is active, tell me Not only is it pointless for you, but it might even harm you."

"The first trap is?????????"

It took a full 10 minutes for Jiraiya to carefully memorize the descriptions of the traps covering most of his clothes in his mind.

Putting down the tattered clothes in his hands, Jiraiya said in a low voice, "I didn't expect that I would be led into a secret treasure seal by the sand ninja's puppet master before I knew it."

"Hey, I don't know what happened to Orochimaru and the old men. I hope they don't expect me anymore!" Thinking of Orochimaru and the Third Hokage who were still outside trying to delay him, Jiraiya felt anxious in his heart.

Although he had such expectations in his heart, Jiraiya also knew that Orochimaru and the Third Hokage would not retreat easily without receiving his message. This was due to their belief in Jiraiya's strength.

In the past, Jiraiya would only be happy, but now that Jiraiya has truly understood a corner of this maze, he is really not sure that he will be able to escape, let alone go out in time to send a message to the Third Hokage and the others. .

And without knowing that Jiraiya has been trapped by the Sand Ninja, the persistence of the Third Hokage and the others will become meaningless.And the longer you persist, the more severe the consequences will be.
