Escape from Konoha Ye Xining

Konoha 36 years, March.

The climate in the forest is starting to get a little hot and irritating.

It has been three months since Baishi left the village to carry out his mission.

During the period, I encountered a total of eleven waves of enemies. Except for the lineup of five Jōnin in the first month, the combat effectiveness of the Sand Hidden troops I encountered afterwards seemed very weak.

Sometimes there is no need for Sakumo, a Junin, to make a move. He just needs to be on the sidelines, and the three of Shiraishi will cooperate to wipe out several times the number of enemies.

As the number of battles increased, the battle experience of the three of Baishi was also accumulating, and their cooperation became better and better.

In order to study new tactics, Shiraishi used local materials to find materials for making smoke bombs in the wild.

Fortunately, when it came out, some simple and small instruments were sealed in the scroll. When resting, Shiraishi would take it out to make smoke bombs.

Shuo Mao was no stranger to this kind of thing.

If Liuli and Ayane focus on accumulating hard power, then Baishi is undoubtedly the one with the best knowledge and the most flexible mind among the three.

Shuo Mao appreciates that he can still maintain a calm and non-irritating attitude to study and enrich himself during the war.

Therefore, Shuo Mao proposed the special training of Shiraishi.

Teach Shiraishi some practical knife skills.

In the field of medical ninjutsu and research, I can't help Shiraishi, but as a jounin who is good at swordsmanship, Sakumo feels that I can teach Shiraishi the skills of using a sword so that he has a certain fighting ability.

In this way, with Liuli and Ayane, the overall combat effectiveness of the three will definitely be greatly improved.

Shiraishi was slightly surprised that Shuo Mao proposed special training, but he did not refuse.

When he was free, he would practice knife skills with Shuo Mao.

The weapon he uses is a standard Ninja Sword, which is slightly longer than the White Fang Short Sword, but it is several levels behind the White Fang Short Sword in terms of chakra transmission.

After all, ordinary weapons cannot conduct chakra that changes in nature. Once they encounter a sophisticated weapon that can conduct chakra, they are easy to break.

In the afternoon, when the sun is strong.

"Hey, remember not to come over and take a peek."

Liuli and Ayane took clean new clothes to prevent anyone from peeking at them while they were taking a bath, so they came here to remind them.

Baishi promised to reply: "Don't worry, you go ahead, even if you die, I will watch over Teacher Shuo Mao."

"I'm talking about you, not Teacher Shuo Mao."

"..."

No matter how crazy he was, he would never peek at a 12-year-old girl taking a bath.

Liuli's wary eyes of perverts hurt Baishi's heart a little.

"It's okay for Mr. Baishi to come and take a peek, because I will make Mr. Baishi physically unable to become a qualified man again."

Ayane smiled softly, as if she meant something.

While making people feel like a spring breeze, they can't help shivering.

Watching Liuli and Ayane leave, Shiraishi sighed and said, "Really, what time is it, and I have to take a bath, not camping."

"I can't help it. I've been fighting for the past few months, or I'm on the road. It's good to let them relax. And it's very close to Konoha's sentry point, which is safer than other places."

Shuo Mao added from the side.

Baishi had no choice but to nod his head, agreeing with Shuo Mao.

In the dense forest, there is a gentle breeze, mixed with a little irritating heat in the breeze.

Under such circumstances, Shiraishi wanted to take a peaceful nap under the shade of the tree.

"Is the situation at the front still unclear?"

Sitting under the shade of a tree, Baishi took out his water cup to drink.

"Ah, although Orochimaru and the others are here, but the opponent is the third Kazekage himself, so it's not so easy to win."

Shuo Mao also sat down and said to Baishi.

Although the quality of Konoha ninjas on the front line is generally better than that of sand hidden ninjas, the lack of decisive and powerful ninjas at the same level as the contemporary Five Kages is also the reason for the stalemate on the front lines.

"In this case, if Master Hokage comes out, it might be able to turn the tide of the battle all at once."

Sakumo shook his head about Shiraishi's opinion and said, "Konoha is different from the four ninja villages. The Land of Fire is located in the middle of the continent and surrounded by four big countries. There are too many things to consider. Hokage himself rushed to the battlefield. This is an emergency of last resort.”

"It's not easy being Hokage..."

"Yeah, it's Hokage after all."

"Ms. Sakumo, have you ever thought about being Hokage?"

Bai Shi suddenly asked.

Because there is nothing left and right, I hope to chat about some interesting topics to pass the time.

Shuo Mao smiled wryly and said, "Forget it, please forgive me. I'm not the Hokage material. I don't understand politics at all."

"That's not right. Sakumo-sensei's appeal to be Hokage is louder than that of Sannin."

"Having said that, Hokage-sama is still in good health, and I have never considered this issue."

Shiraishi nodded in understanding.

Sandai Hokage's reputation in Konoha Village is indeed very good. According to Liuli, even the Uchiha clan has a harmonious relationship with Sandai Hokage, and they have good business contacts with each other.

It is conceivable that the three generations of Naruto have a very big heart.

But... How many years can this kind of heart and courage last?

The third generation of Hokage is 46 years old this year, and after another ten years of working in the position of Hokage, it will be the age of abdication.

The older people are, the more things they worry about.

The ambitions of youth will become more and more powerless as they grow older.

Uchiha's garrison has more power than Hokage's directly subordinate Anbu.

This is not only the trust in Uchiha, but also its vigilance and advice.

The third Hokage doesn't care now because he is strong enough and prestige is big enough. Even if something happens to Uchiha, he is confident that he can solve it, even by using force.

But this confidence cannot last forever.

Therefore, selecting a new Hokage within ten years to take over the position of the third Hokage is Konoha's real way to strengthen the village.

At that time, Sakumo was only in his 30s, which was the golden age for a ninja to flourish.

It is estimated that the strength at that time was stronger than it is now.

With his prestige, strength, loyalty, and character, even if he himself doesn't want to be Hokage, everyone will try their best to force him to become Hokage.

"In short, if Mr. Shuo Mao is willing to fight for the position of Hokage, it will definitely bring a new trend of thought to the village."

"You said that I'm not interested in Hokage anymore. I think life is good now. Because once I become Hokage, I won't be able to go out to perform missions like this and fight side by side with my companions in the village."

"what a pity……"

Shiraishi sighed.

"I'll go find something to eat. I don't have enough food in my backpack. I'll leave the mission of the two of them to protect the flower envoys to you."

"learn."

Seeing Shuo Mao's receding figure, Bai Shi watched it for a while, then looked away.
