This time, I don't know whether it was because someone saw Liu Kai killing two chuunin, or because both sides of the war were unable to mobilize manpower.
Anyway, until Liu Kai crossed the gate of Konoha Village, no one came to stop Liu Kai.
But for Liu Kai, no matter what the possibility is, it is a good thing.
At the very least, this would allow Liu Kai to free up some time to clean up the traces he left behind.
So Liu Kai, who had just taken Xiang Rin out of the gate of Konoha Village, said to Xiang Rin while staying away from Konoha Village:
"If you find that there are ninjas behind us within your range of perception during the evacuation, you must remember to inform me as soon as possible."
"Okay." After Xianglin replied, she suddenly frowned and looked at Liu Kai's direction: "Your evacuation route is... in the direction of Sand Ninja Village? Are you going to the Kingdom of Wind?"
"That's right, it's the direction to the Kingdom of Wind."
"Why did you choose this direction?" Xianglin was very puzzled by Liu Kai's choice.
Because in Xianglin's opinion, this road is not the best choice for their evacuation.
However, Xianglin's question did not make Liu Kai change his mind. Instead, Liu Kai asked a question that seemed to be surprised by his own question: "What? Is there anything wrong with this direction?"
When Xianglin heard this, he thought: "This is a big problem, okay?" ,
Therefore, Xiang Rin said: "Do you think that the Sound Ninja and Suna Ninja's attack on Konoha will fail here? And not a single Suna Ninja can escape?"
"How is it possible? Although I don't think this plan to collapse Konoha will succeed. But no matter what, it is impossible for the Suna Ninja to be completely wiped out."
Looking sideways at Liu Kai's expression, Xiang Lin was even more surprised after confirming that Liu Kai really thought this way:
"Well, since you know, you should know that the direction we are going in is the inevitable direction that the Suna Ninja will take after they successfully withdraw from Konoha.
And in this case, our whereabouts are very likely to be noticed by the Sand Ninja. Isn't this even more dangerous? "
Hearing Xiang Lin's words, Liu Kai smiled and said, "Well, what you said makes sense.
No matter how well I cover up the traces, I can't guarantee that the Suna Ninja won't notice any clues.
And once the other party notices it, they might actually come to you. "
Seeing that Liu Kai agreed with her statement, Xianglin felt a little relieved and quickly said: "That's right, so I think..."
"But Kaoru, have you ever thought about what Konoha will do first once the Suna ninja retreats?"
"What will Konoha do first? Count the damage, rescue the wounded, and comfort the civilians in the village?" Xianglin looked at Liu Kai uncertainly and said.
Liu Kai smiled slightly: "Of course he will do these. After all, face projects are what a superior must do for stability. But these will not be the first things done after the battle."
"This won't be the first thing to do? Then what will Konoha do first?" Liu Kai's words really confused Xiang Rin.
She really didn't know what was more important than rescuing the wounded in the village.
As for Xiang Rin's doubts, Liu Kai did not give up: "The first thing Konoha will do is investigate its own losses, including loss of intelligence, loss of ninjutsu, loss of resources, etc."
"Why? Are these things more important than rescuing the wounded? Aren't people the most important?" Although Xianglin, who is still young, is mature, she really doesn't understand what Liu Kai said at this time. Understand.
"Of course people are important, but those losses have already been completed and will not be aggravated again. Therefore, these are already losses in the past.
Whether a village wants to develop or survive, the first thing it needs is not to dwell on the past, but to look to the future.
So do you think, compared to the more losses that will no longer be added to the village, which side does Konoha think is more important? "
Liu Kai said it so straightforwardly, how could Xianglin still not know what kind of situation is harmful to Konoha?
is more important.
However, he still looked at Liu Kai in confusion: "But even so, what does this have to do with the route you chose to go to the Kingdom of Wind?"
"Of course it does matter. You know, Konoha will calculate the losses after the battle.
But no matter how much damage it suffered, it would definitely pursue the intruder.
Because Konoha knows very well that if they are attacked and cannot fight back after being attacked.
In the eyes of ninja villages from other big countries, this is a sign of weakness.
In addition, Konoha itself is richer in resources than other countries, and it is the meat that other big countries want to eat in their mouths.
Therefore, they must show that they still have strong strength, so that other countries will be afraid and dare not act rashly. "
But when he said this, Liu Kai paused and then said: "It's just to show off the muscles. Although there will be a pursuit later, Konoha will try not to conflict with the Sand Ninja as much as possible. Who made them suffer a huge blow just now? What a loss.”
Xianglin thought about it seriously after listening to Liu Kai's words, but she still didn't realize from Liu Kai's words why she chose to go to the Kingdom of Wind.
As if sensing Xiang Lin's surprise, Liu Kai continued to smile and said:
"And by that time, even if they discover that the Sealed Book is missing, they will send out a powerful tracking team to track us.
But once it is discovered that our route is the same as that of Suna Ninja, what do you think Konoha will think? "
"At that time, Konoha will definitely think that the Sealed Book was taken away by Suna Ninja." Xiang Rin's eyes suddenly lit up.
"That's right, so even if the other party wants to take back the Sealed Book, they can only give up the pursuit reluctantly when faced with the situation that they can only expel them and cannot fight the Sand Ninja."
Yes, the reason why Liu Kai chose the route to the Kingdom of Wind was because Liu Kai wanted to use the idea that both parties were unwilling to continue the war, so that the Suna Ninja would be blamed for taking the Sealed Book on his behalf.
"But even so, there is still a possibility that the Suna Ninja will discover us. At that time, although there will be no threat from Konoha, we will still need to face the threat from the Suna Ninja."
Xianglin, who had just felt a little happy in her heart, immediately thought of this possibility, and her little face wrinkled up again.
But when faced with Xiang Lin's question, Liu Kai chuckled and said, "Don't worry too much, although there is a possibility of being tracked by Sand Ninja.
But first, I will try to reduce the traces left by our movement as much as possible, and make some misdirections in it.
Secondly, although I guess there won't be another battle between Konoha and Sand Ninja, because they can't afford to lose.
But even if both sides think so, do Suna Ninja really want to bet that Konoha will never attack them?
So when the time comes, the Suna Ninja will probably be busy getting rid of Konoha's pursuing ninjas just in case, and they won't notice our traces at all.
Even if it is really discovered, it may not really have the time to come find us. Judging from the traces left behind, it does not belong to a team with many people. "
Upon hearing this, Xianglin suddenly felt that what Liu Kai said made sense.
Finally, Liu Kai gave Xiang Lin reassurance: "And once we escape from the territory of the Kingdom of Fire, we will choose to hide in the Kingdom of Sichuan.
In this way, neither Suna Ninja nor Konoha will have time to track us anymore.
Therefore, for us, the most dangerous thing is the distance from here to Kawa no Kuni. "
After Liu Kai finished speaking, Xianglin, who had no doubts about Liu Kai's choice, looked at Liu Kai's profile who seemed to have planned everything long ago, and suddenly felt relieved.
Because with Liu Kai, I seem to be able to enjoy my freedom easily.
…
"I was near the Third Hokage's residence at the time, and I kept an eye on the Fourth Kazekage, so it probably wasn't the Fourth Kazekage who took away the sealed book.
"
Looking at the two consultants from the Hokage Village in front of him, Jiraiya said in a calm voice.
"But if the Fourth Kazekage hadn't taken away the sealed book kept in Hiruzen's mansion, then who could have quietly taken it away under your nose?"
Listening to the other party's words, Jiraiya couldn't help but frown, because he also couldn't understand.
"Could it be that before I arrived at the Third Hokage's residence, someone went in and found the Sealed Book and took it away?"
"Probably not, we have been guarding the Third Hokage's residence until Lord Jiraiya arrived.
And until Lord Jiraiya arrived, those Suna ninjas who came to destroy the Third Hokage's mansion did not break into it.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Book of Absolute Sealing to be lost during this period. "
As soon as Jiraiya finished speaking, a genin from the Yuan Fei clan spoke quickly.
After hearing what this genin said, Jiraiya suddenly remembered that when he was confronting the Fourth Kazekage, the figure who broke into the Third Hokage's mansion and whom he suspected was killed by Sandami.
"Could it be that brother and sister? But didn't they die in the hands of the Fourth Kazekage? Could it be that these two people are not dead?
But even so, how did they escape from the Fourth Kazekage's ninjutsu attack? How did you find the sealed book in such a short period of time? "
Jiraiya didn't believe that Sarutobi Hiruzen, his teacher, would place the sealed book in a random place.
Therefore, Jiraiya immediately excluded Liu Kai and Xiang Lin.
At the same time, just when Jiraiya had just eliminated the suspicions of Liu Kai and Xiang Lin.
Several figures suddenly appeared outside the door.
Then a person came in, looked at the person in front of him who was temporarily in charge of the highest authority in Konoha Village, and said: "This time, the genin from each ninja village who came to participate in the chuunin exams are safe except for the two people from Taki Ninja Village who are missing. .”
