Chapter 222 Snow Festival Mingsha
"Creaky------"
With a slight sound, the left side door outside the wall of Konoha was opened. Then a ninja from the Anbu walked out slowly with a woman in a gray prison uniform.
This side door is basically not open to people in the village. It is mostly the exit for the village's Anbu to perform secret missions. When Liu Yu was still performing tasks for the village, he often went in and out of this side door.
The woman behind the Anbu had bright eyes and white teeth, and her long, smooth chestnut hair added a lot of color to her. Although she was wearing a prison uniform, it could not conceal her temperament.
After taking the woman out of the village, the Konoha Anbu left in an instant, leaving only the woman with a puzzled face here.
"Is it true?"
Seeing that the Konoha Anbu actually left, Yuki Matsuri Akisa asked herself in disbelief. This person was the intelligence department ninja "Yuki Matsuri Akisa" of the Hidden Mist Village who was captured by Liu Yu's group during the Third Ninja World War.
Under normal circumstances, after the two warring parties sign a peace agreement, they will continue to negotiate after the subsequent exchange of prisoners.
If the number of prisoners in the hands of both parties is equal, they can choose to exchange prisoners. If one party has significantly more prisoners than the other, the other party can choose to redeem or make concessions on the peace agreement.
Just like after Konoha and Iwagakure, Sand Village and even Kusagakure Village signed a peace agreement, all forces rescued their own prisoners by exchanging or redeeming them. After all, it is not easy to train ninjas. The rescued ninjas will not only be more loyal to the village, but also strengthen the cohesion within the village.
However, the above situations all occurred in the normal aftermath of the war, and the war between Kirigakure and Konoha did not develop normally from the beginning.
After Kirigakure and Konoha quickly signed a peace agreement and withdrew their troops, Konoha originally planned to continue to exchange prisoners with Kirigakure.
But who knew that after withdrawing the ninjas from the Fire Country, the Kirigakure blocked all external exchanges and ignored Konoha's subsequent negotiations on prisoner exchange. It seemed that they were going to give up the Kirigakure prisoners who were still in Mu'er's hands.
In order to rescue the Konoha ninjas captured in the war, Konoha Village activated the secret line inside the Kirigakure. Later, Konoha learned through the secret line hidden inside the Kirigakure that the Kirigakure killed all the captured ninjas from various countries, including Konoha ninjas, after obtaining intelligence and ninjutsu.
In other words, the Kirigakure does not have any prisoners at all. It was also from this time that the image of the Kirigakure not accepting prisoners of war began to spread.
Fortunately, not many Konoha ninjas were captured and executed. In order not to escalate the situation, the Konoha high-level concealed the news from the lower level, changed the status of the captured personnel to death in battle, and engraved their names on the memorial stone, and even held a collective funeral for them.
In short, after the operation of Kirigakure, the exchange of prisoners could not be carried out. However, the Kirigakure prisoners who remained in Konoha Village became a problem.
Danzo once proposed to execute the Kirigakure prisoners in his hands as a means of revenge against Kirigakure. However, this proposal was opposed by most people, including the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the fourth generation Hokage Namikaze Minato. Kirigakure, known as the "Blood Mist Village", can do such a cruel thing without caring about its reputation, but Konoha, living in the sun, can't
It is impossible to release them. In the end, the Konoha high-level officials put this group of Kirigakure ninjas who had lost their value in prison and let them work to redeem themselves. Konoha can still afford the food expenses of dozens of people.
This group of prisoners is equivalent to being sentenced to life imprisonment. If nothing unexpected happens, they will stay in Konoha's prison until they die. Or they will be extradited back by Mei Terumi after the Fourth Ninja World War due to the improvement of relations between the two sides.
As one of the captured Kirigakure ninjas, Yukimatsu Akisa has been doing labor reform in Konoha Prison for the past few years until today.
Just today, a Konoha Anbu suddenly walked up to her while she was working and said that he would take her away.
Yukimatsu Akisa, who heard the news at that time, seemed a little confused. The information she had about Kirigakure Village had been obtained by Konoha's Yamanaka Inoichi. Now she had no value to Konoha at all. What did the Anbu want to do to her at this time?
"Is Konoha ready to execute me?"
In an instant, such a thought appeared in Yukimatsu Akisa's mind. The prisoners around who also thought of this even cast a look of pity on her.
But then, unexpectedly, the Konoha Anbu said after taking Yukimatsu Akisa away that she would be released this time.
Yukimatsu Akisa, who first heard the news, seemed unbelievable. As a Kirigakure ninja, she knew better than the ninjas of other villages that Kirigakure did not accept prisoners of war. The ninjas from other ninja villages that I met in the prison returned to their respective ninja villages one after another after the war, and only the captives from their Kirigakure Village stayed.
The Kirigakure captives, who knew their own situation, never thought that they would be redeemed by the Kirigakure Village. They were ready to live alone in Konoha for the rest of their lives, and even had a certain psychological preparation for being executed by Konoha to vent their anger.
Therefore, when the Anbu suddenly came to her door this time, Yukisatsu Akisa felt strange and wondered if she was going to be executed. She couldn't believe that the Konoha Anbu said they would let her go.
However, facing the puzzled look of Yuki Matsuri Meisa, the Konoha ANBU didn't say much, and just took him out of the prison, and then went straight to the outside of the village. After arriving outside the village, the ANBU ninja didn't say anything and returned directly to the village.
"What the hell is going on?"
Looking at the disappearing Anbu of Konoha, Yukimatsu Meisa whispered to herself.
"Confused?"
At this time, a crisp and slightly familiar voice sounded in Yukisai Mingsha's ears. Then, with a slight gust of wind, Liu Yu came gently behind Yuki Matsuri Mingsha.
Faced with everything that happened around her, Yukisai Mingsha didn't look too panicked. If nothing else, this person would be the one who got him out of Konoha Prison. Since this person is here to find him, there is no need for him to appear flustered, as doing so would be a disadvantage.
"It's you?"
When Yukisai Mingsha turned her head to see clearly the face under the bamboo hat, she couldn't help but scream out in shock. Although it was somewhat different from the impression in her memory, Yukimatsaki Meisa could still recognize this person at a glance as the Konoha ninja who had rescued her from Kisame Kisaki - Kusachi Ryuha. Of course, it was precisely because of Ryūha's actions that she was captured by Konoha and stayed in prison for so long.
"Are you surprised?"
Seeing the shock on the other person's face, Liu Yu asked with a chuckle. As he spoke, Ryūha walked away from Konoha, and at the same time motioned for Yukimatsaki Meisa to follow.
Before Ryuyu followed the Anbu to visit Naruto, Ryuyu also made a request to the Third Hokage, that is, he hoped that the Third Hokage could give him the Yuki Matsuri Meisa captured in the last war.
Faced with this request, the Third Hokage also didn't think too much. A chunin of Kirigakure Village who had lost his value would not be a big deal to Riyu. And this is also the reason why Yuki Matsuri Meisa was suddenly taken away by ANBU.
"It's more than just an accident!"
Looking at the girl in front of her who had lost her childishness, Yukisai Mingsha couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then followed Ryyu's footsteps. Looking at this former enemy, Yuki Matsuri Mingsha seemed very emotional. She didn't expect that the two sides would meet again in a place like this.
Although Yukimatsaki Mingsha has been imprisoned, the news in the prison is not too closed. Relying on the new inmates and the sporadic information she learned from Konoha's guards, she could have a rough idea of the development of the girl in front of her after she entered the prison.
The youngest jounin in Konoha and even the entire ninja world, the captain of the Fourth Hokage Guards, the second fastest god in the ninja world, the dark killer of Konoha, etc. These names make the girl in front of him almost unknown in the ninja world.
Originally, the girl's future in Konoha was bright, and she might even succeed the Fifth Hokage after the Third Hokage abdicated. But all this has changed since he assassinated the Fire Country Daimyo and defected with his clan.
"It's actually true!"
Yuki Matsuri Meisa glanced at the Konoha forehead protector with a horizontal stripe cut across Riuyu's neck, looking thoughtful. Unexpectedly, this strong contender for the Fifth Hokage actually defected from the village, but judging from how easily the girl in front of him could get herself out of Konoha Prison, it shows that this defection is not as simple as it seems.
Yuki Matsuri Meisa actually doesn't resent Ryūha. Although she came to Konoha Prison because of Ryuu, firstly, the two sides were in a hostile state at the time, and secondly, Ryuu saved herself from Mikigaki Kisame.
"Tell me! What do you want from me?"
Shaking her head gently to get rid of the messy thoughts in her mind, Yukimatsaki Meisa asked softly. She didn't believe that the girl in front of her would fish her out of Konoha Prison without any trouble.
Now that she's here, let her be in peace and listen to what she wants to do. Facing Liu Yu's absolute strength, she had no room to resist.
"I want you to help me?"
Putting aside his teasing, Liu Yu's expression became serious and he said sincerely.
"help you?"
Yuki Matsuri Mingsha asked in confusion, she was just an ordinary chuunin (except for her beauty), what was there that could attract Ryūha's attention.
"I plan to form my own Ninja Village, but now I don't have enough manpower. I hope you can help me and help me set up the framework of the Intelligence Department."
Liu Yu looked at Yuki Matsuri Mingsa's puzzled face and said sincerely that this time she came to Konoha to take Yuki Matsuri Mingsa away, it was actually Liu Yu's impromptu idea.
For this woman who died tragically at the hands of Inikisaki Kisame, Ryūha in the previous life just felt sorry for her. In this life, he rescued her because he had the ability and wanted to break the original trajectory, but Liu Yu didn't pay much attention to her after that. After all, as a Konoha ninja, it seemed abnormal for her to pay too much attention to an enemy prisoner.
But now that Ryūha has defected, he doesn’t have to worry about those things. Besides, Ryūha is still curious about the shark-faced expression of Inikaki Kisame after seeing Yukimatsaki Meisa again. Therefore, this time, taking advantage of the negotiation with the Third Hokage, he took the opportunity to leave her.
""
Yuki Matsuri Meisa stopped and looked at Ryūha carefully. To build her own ninja village, this girl is really courageous!
"What? Don't want to?"
Seeing Yukisai Mingsha stop walking, Ryūha turned around and asked doubtfully. In fact, the reason why Ryūyu invited her to join his ninja village was because of the lack of people, and Yukimatsaki Meisa is currently the only intelligence ninja that Ryūyu knows who can be used by him.
Yukisai Meisa used to work in the intelligence department of the Hidden Mist Village. Her experience can help the newly established ninja village build the framework of the intelligence department, and her low strength makes it easier for Liu Yu to control her. In addition, she was originally abandoned by the Hidden Mist Village, and she seemed to have a good impression of him, so Liu Yu was still very confident about his invitation this time.
Facing Liu Yu's doubtful eyes, Yukisai Meisa firmly looked at him and replied softly:
"No, I do!"
