Konoha: The road to the gods starting from Kannabi Bridge

Chapter 1 Yuzhang

If a mortal's "desire" reaches its extreme, the sight of the gods will be cast down,

Eye of God——

Then it appeared.

"I'm just afraid of death!!"

Huzhi Yuzhang was sitting on the roof of the thatched house, murmuring to himself, holding up the bright yellow square gemstone in his hand, and could clearly see the interlocking rhombus pattern in it, like an unbreakable agreement. Contract... This is a rock-attributed Eye of God.

This baby,

It was a month ago,

Obtained in the battle that surrounded and killed the Sandaime Raikage.

Facing the invincible Sandaime Raikage in an army of ten thousand people, the companions around him fell in pieces like wheat during the autumn harvest, and their lives were as light as feathers, without any There's no weight to it.

over there,

Yuzhang felt the fear of death like never before.

Especially when he saw that jet-black lightning breaking through the heavy defenses he had put up and heading towards him, it was as if the God of Death had grasped his heart, and his desire to live rose to the extreme. I don’t want to lose my hard-earned second life just like that.

Just at this time,

This Eye of God appeared silently in his breast pocket.

Help him block the strongest spear of the Sandaime Raikage!

although,

The terrifying impact still broke his hardening technique, broke three of his ribs, and severely impacted all his internal organs, leaving him lying in bed for half a month.

But compared to the consequences of having your heart pierced,

Just lying in the hospital bed for half a month can be said to have been favored by the goddess of luck.

or,

Should I say it was the emperor’s blue eyes?

He was not idle these days while lying on the hospital bed. There were no entertainment activities in the military camp anyway, so he devoted all his energy to studying the Eye of God project. After his research for this period of time, it was indeed Got a little gain.

In addition to discovering that its material is so hard that even the strongest spear fired by the Sandaime Raikage did not cause any damage,

This rocky eye of God,

The biggest help it has given him so far is that he has a very high affinity and dominance over the 'rock element'.

In other words,

His earth escape technique has improved dramatically.

Things that used to take a lot of effort can now be done with 70-80% effort. Things that used to be impossible to do with a lot of effort can now be seen with the faint hope of success!

Give a chestnut,

He had mastered a high-level earth escape technique that he had not been able to master for a long time before, but he had mastered it naturally in the past two days. This made him couldn't help but think that if he could get this Eye of God a few years ago, maybe he would be able to master it. He won't be promoted to Jonin after his fifteenth birthday this year.

Fifteen-year-old Jonin,

In the ninja world, this achievement is not very outstanding. It can only be said that it is not bad. At last, it is not cannon fodder thrown randomly on the battlefield!

But compared with those freaks who became Jonin at the age of twelve or thirteen, this achievement is somewhat lackluster.

but--

"It's not too late!"

Yuzhang said softly.

It would be better to say that getting this Eye of God at this time is simply a timely help. At this critical moment, he is so eager for power... and the appearance of the Eye of God satisfies his wish, not only It just immediately gave his strength a huge boost.

It also gave him a future with unlimited hope!

"Yu Zhang."

A sudden shout reached his ears, interrupting his thoughts.

"Rousuke?"

Yuzhang lowered his raised arms and cast doubtful eyes on his cousin, Usuke Koeda, who jumped up to the roof.

The fourteen-year-old boy has short black hair like a hedgehog, a cold expression, and is slightly short. He wears the red battle uniform of Iwagakure Village and a brown Jounin vest, but he is not like most Iwanins. Expose your right arm.

"What happened?" Yuzhang looked at his cousin whose eyes were a little red and frowned involuntarily.

"The clan leader is looking for us."

"The patriarch... said that a decision is about to be made?"

"The news just came, Thrush...Thrush died in the mission." There were traces of vibrato in the words. Because of his habit of keeping a straight face and not smiling, he has been called a "cold man" since he was a child. Usuke Koeda is not really hard-hearted. People who are familiar with him can detect the strong sadness and sadness hidden under his calm face.

Yuzhang was stunned.

Coral thrush... is his and Yousuke's cousin, but they are much older than them, so when facing him and Yousuke, he always likes to regard himself as an elder and treat them differently. Yan is a very gentle and considerate brother.

"That's it! Even the thrush is gone."

Yuzhang slowly exhaled from his mouth and restrained the emotions that were boiling in his chest. He hung the Eye of God on his waist, stood up, and said: "Yousuke, let's go! Don't let it go." The clan leader has waited too long, and the thrush is gone, so we have to take up the burden on his shoulders. Now...is not the time to be sad."

----

This is the north of the Kingdom of Grass,

A certain village that has become the headquarters of the Iwa Ninja Army.

At the corner of the village,

In a dilapidated house, the remaining jounin of the Huzhi clan gathered together under the call of the clan leader. It was said that all of them... including the clan leader Huzhi Dashan himself, there were only four people in total. I am dissatisfied with this shabby and small house.

"The Kozhi clan, which once had a place among the wealthy clans in Iwagakure Village, is really at the end of its rope!"

Looking at the deserted scene in front of him, the patriarch Huzhi Dashan thought silently.

To know,

A year ago, when the previous patriarch was still in office,

The Kozhi clan has a total of eleven jounin.

Every time a gathering of jonins from the clan was held, the six-tatami-sized Japanese room was packed to the brim.

something unexpected may happen any time,

Because of the wrong decision made by the previous clan leader, Huzhi Dashan's brother, Huzhi Gate, not only did he die with hatred, but the entire family was also sliding towards the abyss of destruction. To this day, the leader of the clan Shinobu withered one after another, and now there are only a few people left.

If we don't count Yuzhang and Yousuke, the two younger members of the family who were promoted to jounin this year, only two of the original eleven jounin are left, including him.

"You all know about Thrush's sacrifice, right?"

Dashan Koeda cheered up and broke the silence in the room, "Once the thrush is gone, only the four of us are the jounin left in the clan. The clan members at the chuunin and genin levels have also suffered heavy casualties. If this continues, If we go down, I’m afraid our Huzhi clan will be removed from the village before the war ends.”

Saying,

He paused and let out a tired sigh, as if he was almost out of breath being oppressed by an invisible burden. He took a breath and then continued: "The family has reached a point where life and death is at stake. We must Do something."

His face was so pale,

His skinny figure was like that of a crane, but he could not feel any of the elegance and grace of a crane from his body. All he could feel was deep weakness and endless exhaustion!

But even so,

He still maintained his straight sitting posture, as if there was a ruler on his back, supporting the posture that a clan leader should have.

He took a deep breath, accumulated enough strength in his body, and said loudly:

"Due to the wrong decisions of the ancestors, Yanyin Village has become a dead end for our clan. Therefore, after thinking about it for a period of time, I plan to move the whole clan away from Yanyin Village. As the saying goes, the tree is moved to death. , people move around, since Yanyin Village can’t accommodate us, then we will find a new place to stay!!”

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

This extremely bold statement fell on everyone's heads like a bolt from the blue.

But it’s a crowd,

Except for Dazen himself and another senior jounin Koeda Seinosuke, Yuzhang and Yousuke had expressions of astonishment on their faces. They did not expect that the clan leader would come up with such a radical strategy and move the entire clan. Leaving Iwagakure Village?

Is this really not a joke?

To put it nicely, this is called migration, but to put it more bluntly——

This is defection!

"Clan leader, didn't you just say last week that you were going to write to the Tsuchikage to request our clan to return to the village to recuperate? Why did it happen so suddenly..." Yoursuke couldn't help but ask.

<divclass="contentadv">“——Tsk!!”

Seinosuke spat fiercely and started to curse, "But if Onoki agrees to the clan leader's request, does he still need to come to you to negotiate? Usuke, that thing on your neck is a head, not a stone, don't be serious You are as ignorant as a stone and just ask stupid questions that waste your time."

then,

Then he turned to look at the clan leader and complained: "I just said there is no need to ask these brats for their opinions. Their strength may not be bad, but their minds are still very naive! They are still right until now. That big nose has illusions... It’s so naive that it makes people speechless. It’s obvious that that ridiculous big nose is determined to destroy our family in this war.”

It was like a poisonous snake with its mouth open, spitting out venom wantonly.

His venomous tongue is famous in Iwagakure.

An old man who is eighty years old, a child who is five or six years old, and even a wild dog that barks at him on the roadside will all be attacked by his indiscriminate poisonous tongue. However, he is also a very high-level medical practitioner. Ninja, the medical level is among the top five in Iwagakure Village.

Therefore, when faced with his vicious tongue, most people had no choice but to listen in one ear and out the other.

Even his clothes are different from others,

Seinosuke did not wear a red combat uniform and a brown vest, but a cyan kimono with a white coat specially used by medical ninjas.

but,

This is not an illegal or disciplinary act.

Unlike chuunin and genin, jounin have a high degree of freedom in dressing, as long as it does not damage the image of Iwagakure Village and does not cause any adverse effects.

For example, Yuzhang wore a black combat uniform with a purple-black vest.

He hated the indescribable combination of red battle uniform and brown vest.

"Okay, Seinosuke, please restrain your venomous tongue. Even... Kage dares to arrange it. If someone hears it, even if you are a medical ninja, believe it or not, you will be thrown into the Are you going to die on the front line?" Dashan stared at Seinosuke's handsome but somewhat gloomy face and scolded him angrily.

"Hey! With the barrier I set up myself, no one can eavesdrop on our conversation."

Seinosuke clicked his tongue in displeasure.

But he did stop his venomous behavior.

After his interruption, both Yuzhang and Yousuke understood that the family was really at a crossroads that decided their destiny. Whether there would be a place for the Kozhi clan in the ninja world in the future would depend on their decisions now.

"Chief, if the whole clan moves...where should we go?"

Yuzhang looked at the clan leader and said in a deep voice: "I don't think the village will let our clan leave easily. What will greet us then will be the relentless pursuit of the Anbu... clan leader, you should have something like this." Considered?"

"Only the Five Great Ninja Villages can fight against the Five Great Ninja Villages."

Dashan replied slowly.

"So, clan leader, which one did you choose as a new place for our clan? Cloud Hidden Village? Kirigakure Village? Sunagakure Village, or Konoha?"

Yuzhang asked.

"We, the Kozhi clan, were residents of the sea decades ago. Although we later followed the first Tsuchikage to the Land of Earth, the establishment of the five great ninja villages has only been a short period of more than forty years. In these forty years, It’s not enough to completely sever the friendship with our former allies. On the sea... our Huzhi clan still has some connections."

It turned out to be a fog ninja,

This is not a good place to be!

At this time, Kirigakure Village is probably being targeted by Uchiha Madara...

Yuzhang frowned.

"What? Yuzhang, do you think Wuyin Village is not good?" Dashan also noticed the change in Yuzhang's expression.

"Yes, I think Kirigakure is not a suitable place."

"Can you tell me why?"

Dashan sat upright and motionless,

Ask in a calm and calm voice.

"Too far!!!"

Yuzhang did not bring up the "dead man" Uchiha Madara. He did not have any evidence to prove that Uchiha Madara was still alive and secretly used the Mist Ninjas to cause trouble... There is a high probability that this would only be criticized by others. I wonder if there is something wrong with my brain.

Fortunately,

In addition to this unexplainable reason, there is also no shortage of legitimate excuses.

"Distance?"

Dashan slowly lowered his jaw.

There is no denying that this is indeed a problem that needs to be faced.

"Fleeing for thousands of miles despite the ANBU's pursuit... If it were just a few of us Jonin, there would be no hope of escaping, but the rest of the tribe, especially the women and children who are still in the village, , they... Patriarch, are you ready to give up on them?"

Yuzhang suddenly reacted.

"I know this decision is cruel, but... for the survival of the family, we have no choice!" Dashan took a deep breath, burying the guilt, sadness, anger and many other emotions deep in his heart, his eyes filled with emotion. His expression is as cold as frost and snow, and stronger than iron and stone!

He continued:

"In fact, I have already contacted Kirigakure Village. Thanks to the unpleasant pasts of Kiri Ninja and Iwa Ninja, plus some old friendships... The Kiri Ninjas are willing to accept our surrender. , the Yuanshi and the newly appointed Yondaime Mizukage have both made promises that they will send people to assist us."

Finally,

Dashan added, "The reception location is in the country of Sichuan."

"Do you have to choose Kirigakure Village? Cloud Hidden Village, Sunagakure Village, Konoha...are these not acceptable?" Yuzhang frowned and subconsciously reported the names of the remaining villages one by one. come out.

"Of course you can!"

Before Dashan could speak, Seinosuke caught the conversation with a smile. Then, as expected, the conversation suddenly changed and he said sternly: "Yu Zhang, let's not talk about the poor place in Sunagakure Village. Kumo Hidden Village and Konoha Village Of course they are better choices, but the problem is for no reason, why should they accept the help of a group of old, weak, sick and disabled like us?"

"You think, how valuable is our Kozhi clan that we should take the risk of starting a new round of war with the Iwa ninja and accept our surrender? The Kumo ninjas are busy licking their wounds right now!"

"And Konoha, do you think the Ninja hero of Konoha is the founder of Zendo? He is a master who eats people without spitting out their bones. Even if we go to Konoha, we will continue to be cannon fodder, and With Konoha's attitude of war on all sides, I'm afraid the Kozhi clan will be completely eliminated from the ninja world in a few days!"

Saying,

Seinosuke, who had a bit of a dry mouth, stopped, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then continued:

"Finally, there's Sand Hidden Village... I'm not talking about you! Yuzhang, do you really want to go to the desert and eat sand? I would say that Shagakure Village is not as good as Iwagakure Village! Moreover, The Suna ninjas had defeated Konoha before, and now they haven't even decided on the candidate for the Fourth Kazekage. Do you think they will choose to fight the Iwa ninjas again for us? It's really... ·”

Speaking of last,

Seinosuke simply didn't bother to say anything further, and just looked at Yuzhang with disappointed eyes.

"..."

Yuzhang fell silent.

Made,

I just said that, and Seinosuke was stunned and yelled at him ten times.

but,

Having said that, there was nothing wrong with what Seinosuke said. Indeed, he only considered the risk of being spotted by Madara Uchiha when he went to Kirigakure Village, but he forgot that this was not going to the market. When shopping, you can pick and choose and find the cabbage that suits your heart.

Even if he is selling vegetables, the boss is reluctant to let the customers choose freely.

After all,

Their Huzhi clan,

There is no extra choice at all.
