Chapter 310 Diary and Pursuit

The Land of Rain is high and continuous rain has bred several fast-flowing rivers. The rivers rush down from the high places, but make a 90-degree turn somewhere and finally converge in the Land of Grass to form a huge lake. According to the history of the Uchiha clan, it is amazing that the Nanhe River, with its twists and turns, can be related to the Land of Rain.

Kabuto Yakushi was fifteen years old, which was a critical period for his body to gradually reach its peak, but his tragic experience since childhood made him quite mature in thought and spirit, and he could no longer be regarded as a teenager. At this time, he was writing a diary in his room, and the infamous Orochimaru lived next door.

"Medical ninjutsu is the greatest contribution that the ninja profession has made to all mankind. It breaks the law of cell division and gives humans divine characteristics. I think my parents brought me into this world to promote medical ninjutsu. I will seize the opportunity and devote all my energy to it. My story may not be absent from future history books."

The young pharmacist Dou meticulously recorded his ambitions in his diary, but when he put pen to paper and closed the book, his eyes suddenly became nostalgic. This notebook was a birthday gift from the dean last year. When he opened the box and saw the notebook, the gentle dean's beautiful eyes curved into half-moons and smiled, "You are about to reach the age of falling in love. This notebook is the latest style of code book on the market. I give it to you to record the girl hidden in your heart."

Under the jeer of his many younger brothers and sisters, the young pharmacist Dou's face turned red. After taking the notebook, he immediately went to teach them a lesson, because he was the undisputed king of the children in the orphanage.

Pharmacist Dou gently stroked the notebook, a strange emotion brewing in his heart. He finally couldn't help but open the notebook, but suddenly his body froze.

On the first page of the notebook, the boy wrote in a serious handwriting: "On the seventh day of the fifth month of the 48th year of Konoha, the Konoha Anbu was killed in Mizukura Town in the Land of Rain. The enemy's fighting consciousness was very tenacious. Lord Orochimaru summoned the Ten Thousand Snakes to catch them all in one fell swoop, ensuring that no one escaped."

Kabuto Yakushi's eyes were obscure, he looked at his right hand, on that rainy afternoon, he had used this fair hand to pierce the heart of an Anbu. It was because of this that Orochimaru temporarily believed him and did not send him to see the Six Paths Sage right away.

The sound of footsteps interrupted Yakushi Kabuto's thoughts. He calmly put the notebook on the table, stood up, walked to the door and pushed it open. Sure enough, he saw the smiling face and a pair of snake-like eyes that made one's breath stop.

"Lord Orochimaru." Kabuto Yakushi greeted with his hands clasped respectfully.

Orochimaru, who was known as one of the three ninjas of Konohagakure but has now become a lost dog, had a fierce look in his eyes. He glanced at the notebook on the table without noticing and said, "I didn't expect you to have the habit of keeping a diary. I hope I didn't disturb you?"

Yakushi Kabuto shook his head, turned around and handed over the notebook with both hands: "Lord Orochimaru saved me and helped me find the meaning of existence. From now on, you are the only one who can check the diary at any time."

Orochimaru looked at the white-haired boy in front of him with a smile, one hand on the notebook. There was no sign of abnormality in Yakushi Kabuto's body, and there was no shaking at all.

"It is a natural human habit to pry into other people's privacy, but it is an inherent human consciousness to protect one's own privacy. It is really strange that the two conflict but are not contradictory."

"In front of you, Yaoshi Dou dare not mention anything private. I am determined to be your handy tool, and tools do not need to be private."

Orochimaru retracted his outstretched hand, took out a scroll from his bosom and handed it over: "We are in a bad situation now. The owner of the Samsara Eye is a vengeful person, so the mission is here."

Yakushi Kabuto slowly unfolded the scroll and glanced at it. There was still no physiological or physical fluctuation: "In that case, I will kill these people. Lord Orochimaru, you continue to rest."

"That Ye Shan guy is quite skilled. The curse he planted on my body is very troublesome and will take some time to remove. Before that, I am no different from an ordinary person. I can only ask you for help."

Yaoshi Dou lowered his head, not believing a single punctuation mark: "It's time for dinner, I'll go prepare it, and then leave the village to carry out the mission after dinner."

"Put more eggs in it. I like it."

Snakes are naturally fond of eating eggs. They seem to enjoy the feeling of huge food squeezing their esophagus and the pleasure of the law of the jungle.

......

A few days later, the Hokage's Anbu received a message that a team led by a senior ninja who was going to the New Rain Country for training was brutally murdered in the dense forest. Due to the continuous rain and the sultry temperature, the bodies were covered with maggots when they were found. If it weren't for the ninja uniforms on their bodies, the discoverers would not even be able to identify them.

Although the death rate of ninjas in peacetime was not optimistic, the annihilation of an entire team was still a red line event, so even though the news was received late at night, Anbu Chief Mizunotsuki Hara came to the Hokage's office to report immediately.

"Sarutobi Karen, Yamanaka Zenji, Hyuga Jiro, Kaguya Takeshita." Uchiha Keiji frowned and slowly read out the names of the deceased. The atmosphere in the office instantly dropped to freezing point. Even though it was early autumn, Mizunotsukihara could feel the chill all over his body.

"A jonin who is proficient in fire jutsu and wind jutsu and can use fusion ninjutsu, a genin who is highly regarded by the Yamanaka clan, a genin who can perform sixty-four palm strikes at the age of twelve from a branch of the Hyuga clan, and a genin from the Kaguya clan who has mastered the Corpse Vein."

There were dozens of words, each word contained conditions that made him furious. After Ye Shan finished listening to the report, his face was terribly gloomy, like the bottom of a pot.

"The killer was ruthless. He first killed the Hyuga ninja with a sneak attack, then crushed the Kaguya ninja with ninjutsu, and finally defeated Sarutobi Karen head-on, completing the one-kill-four plan."

"Oh!"

Ye Shan threw the teacup in his hand to the ground and asked angrily, "Who wrote the report?"

"The reporter is Uchiha, the commander of the new Rain Country garrison ninja..." Mizunotsukihara looked at the Deputy Hokage Keiji cautiously, the implication was obvious, it was written by his son.

Ye Shan was furious and said angrily: "Issue a document to reprimand him. A commander does not do his job well, but instead acts as a case investigator in the report documents. If he has talent in this area, let him go to the root to be a case analyst!"

Uchiha Keiji waved his hand to signal Mizunotsukihara to leave, then bent down to pick up the broken pieces of the teacup and put them into the trash can, saying, "It's really outrageous. A commander who only knows how to write and doesn't spend time on government affairs, but instead works hard on writing, should be punished and reprimanded."

Nara Shikaku opened the door and brought in a document with a more detailed record of the battle. It was urgently sent by the Root experts after on-site reconnaissance.

Ye Shan opened it and took a look. He paused on the name of the criminal for a long time. His expression was somewhat bleak. He took out a cigarette and lit it, feeling bad in his heart.

Kabuto Yakushi, the young man who volunteered to act as a double agent for Orochimaru, was the murderer of the case. It is hard to imagine that this was a feat that a wild ninja who had not received systematic training could accomplish.

After thinking for a long time, Ye Shan ordered expressionlessly: "Send an assassination team to the border of the Rain Country. Once they find the trace of Kabuto Yakushi, allow the team to kill him at all costs!"

"From today on, the Konoha Orphanage will no longer be on the village's priority assistance list. We will send away orphans from other countries. Konoha's finances will not support ungrateful people."

"Recall all ninja teams from the New Rain Country that are out for training and select another location for assessment."

"In addition," Ye Shan held his forehead with his hand, a rare look of fatigue on his face: "Tomorrow morning's meeting will be chaired by Deputy Hokage Minato, I need to rest for half a day."

Uchiha Keiji asked with concern: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Ye Shan pointed to his heart and smiled bitterly: "I'm just tired."

"Shikaku, you go to several families in person to deliver the obituary, especially the Sarutobi clan. You need to comfort them. This time they lost a promising young man who could become an elite jonin, so they are bound to be resentful."

Ye Shan's heart was bleeding. The biggest problem of Konoha Ninja Village in recent years was the shortage of jonin. Most of the older generation of ninjas had retired, and the new generation had not yet grown up. The overall strength of the village was far less than before the Third War. Now, four good seedlings have been lost at once, which is undoubtedly heartbreaking. Especially Hyuga Jiro, although he is a branch family, he is highly valued in the Hyuga clan. It is said that he will soon be taught the secret technique of resurrection that can only be practiced by the main family.

Ye Shan sat on the chair, rubbing his forehead with both hands, and silently said in his heart: "Yakushi Kabuto, you must survive Konoha's pursuit! Otherwise, I will lose a lot of money in this deal."

As for whether the assassination team would be reduced in number, Yeshan didn't care much. The Konoha Ninja Village had raised many extremely evil ninjas, so if they died, they died.

Uchiha Keiji poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ye Shan, saying, "According to the hospital, Kushina's due date is around October 10th. We still have a month to prepare."

"Everything should be done according to the plan we discussed at the meeting. The Hyuga clan and other large clans should also be notified. People should not undress for a few days before and after the birth to ensure that they can respond to emergencies at any time."

Ye Shan closed his eyes. Following his orders, the young Kabuto Yakushi would soon face a life-and-death test. It was never easy to gain the trust of the suspicious Orochimaru. It required a real fight of life.

In the second half of the 48th year of Konoha, the ninja world fell into an eerie calm, as if a new round of earth-shaking conspiracy was brewing.
