【No. 】
【No. 】
【No! 】
Nozomi, who was walking on the battlefield, frowned and threw a kunai at random, accurately sinking it into the heart of the Konoha ninja who wanted to sneak attack him.
[How could it not be? 】
Disguised as a Kirigakure ninja, he had searched the entire battlefield, but still could not find Ao.
And that guy is Lord Raikage's first target.
It is the prey that surpasses Uchiha Ara and Kaguya's corpse veins! !
However, now that he has traced the latter two, the most critical one, Qing, seems to have disappeared out of thin air and cannot be found.
But logically speaking, it shouldn’t be!
That guy is the vanguard commander of Kirigakure Village, and he will never leave the battlefield without permission.
unless........
Xi's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he really didn't want to extend this speculation any further.
Because this will mean that someone has already taken advantage of the chaos and picked this fruit away in front of you!
No.
impossible.
When this thought began to spread, the handsome young man who deliberately darkened his cheeks and wore a blood-stained turban kept denying it in his heart.
You know, Commander Qing is commanded by hundreds of Kirigakure elites who are proficient in the art of assassination!
And it is simply unimaginable to break through the [Kigakure no Jutsu] created by these elites and take the head of an admiral.
What's more, Ao's own strength is not weak, and he has also transplanted the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, so it is impossible to escape his perception.
but!
A very realistic situation was indeed placed in front of him: among the hundreds of Kirigakure elites who were proficient in the art of assassination, except for a few timid deserters, there was not even one out of ten! !
There are indeed traces of their battles and even chakra aura remaining in the entire forest, but apart from the remains of the Kaguya clan that were burned to the ground, no bones of any Kirigakure ninja can be found! !
Those Kirigakure elites who did not know life and death, just like their commanders, disappeared out of thin air in this world! !
Of course, it goes without saying that those ninjas chose to defect.
This is the greatest insult to them.
Moreover, such a large-scale defection would be noticed by both himself and the sentient ninjas of Kirigakure and Konoha Hidden Villages.
'Could it really be that other forces arrived first and took Bai Yan away? '
'Onoki of Iwagakure Village and Rasa of Sunagakure Village are not ordinary people. In the environment where Kirigakure Village and Konoha are at full war, can those two ambitious people really remain calm? '
'Or is it the mysterious Akatsuki organization that is causing trouble? '
Xi murmured to herself, her bright pupils constantly searching for something on the ground.
This area is the last place where the green chakra remains. Although it has become undetectable when all kinds of energy are raging, for a perceptual ninja like him, as long as he is careful, he can still survive under the many chaotic auras. Get some information out of the cocoon.
And sometimes, eyes are better than perception.
Just like now.
【This is.......】
Xi quietly leaned down and saw half of the yellow-brown talisman quietly submerged in the grass. It would be impossible to find it without careful inspection.
[Early warning defensive barrier? 】
Looking at the complicated patterns painted on it, he immediately identified the purpose of this half of the talisman paper.
And based on the information sent back by the Anbu, Ao's earlobe did have two yellow-brown talisman hanging on it. It was speculated that the function was developed by the group of "corpse disposal experts" in Kirigakure Village in order to protect the Byakugan from being taken back. Enchantment! !
Unexpectedly, Hinata's Byakugan was really caught first!
Xixu narrowed his eyes. At this moment, he no longer had any luck in his heart.
After all, the flat cross-section was obviously evidence of being severed by a sharp blade.
And the other party must be a master of swordsmanship, otherwise how could he cut off the sealing hand hanging on his earlobe?
Especially, Qing is not weak!
He emphasized this point in his mind again.
After putting the talisman paper in his arms, Nozomi searched again. There were many traces of the battle left around him, including knife wounds and sword marks. During the fall of various ninja tools, there were also wounds caused by powerful ninjutsu such as detonating talismans.
However, the only thing that concerned him was an area burned by flames.
Because this area burned very naturally, and it did not seem to be caused by the collision of ninjutsu, otherwise it would have exploded more wildly. You must know that fire-attribute chakra is one of the most restless energies.
Xi lowered his body again and gently rubbed the soil with his fingers, but to his disappointment, he did not sense any special substances in it.
Everything that originally covered and grew on this land seemed to be burned into nothingness.
However, this does not mean that he gained nothing!
Looking along this wasteland towards the territory of the Fire Country, a rapid march, no, to be precise, it should be an escape trajectory slowly appeared in his field of vision from many complicated traces.
Judging from the depth and distance between the grass stems, the owner of the footprints fled in a hurry, but he still could not escape the shadow of death.
There are two questions that still puzzle him:
First, where are the elites of Kirigakure Village?
It was too terrifying that there were no bones left in a short period of time;
Secondly, although he found suspected traces of Qing, except for the signs of fire left on the ground and the good swordsmanship on the enchantment spell, he could no longer find any information about the enemy.
Could it be that that guy can fly?
"What are you doing? Are you pretending to be dead? Why don't you fight quickly!!"
After wandering on the edge of the battlefield for a long time, Nozomi was noticed by the ninjas on the Kirigakure side. However, the response that guy received was a sharp ninja tool.
Kumogakure ninjas, it’s not the Kirigakure village’s turn to make a big fuss!
Moreover, according to his perception, no one paid attention to his actions.
Of course, what if you care?
All the information he wanted to get has been obtained!
Let's do this for now. Even if we continue to stay, it will be difficult to find more clues. Lord Raikage is still waiting for his message.
When such thoughts aroused, Xi quietly retreated. Of course, before leaving, she did not forget to quietly make the surrounding traces more messy.
Naturally, he didn't want to leave any trace of his existence.
........
"..., the above is the information I collected, Raikage-sama."
"What is certain at present is that the opponent is a powerful ninja who is good at using swordsmanship."
Xi expressed his judgment very carefully.
As for the burned area, there is no such speculation that the fire escape directly fell, because it is extremely simple for a qualified ninja to create a little flame in the forest.
And signs of burning do not necessarily mean fire escape!
There are also some special blood inheritance limits that can do this.
Of course, the most important reason is: including Lord Raikage, several of the companions present have strong independent thinking and analysis abilities. The more objective the situation is, the more they can think divergently.
Otherwise, if everything is turned into a formula, it will become a limitation.
"Swordsmanship, fire escape."
"Is it possible that that guy Uchiha Ara took away Ao's Byakugan?"
And almost in the next second, Darui, who was known as the 'Thunder Shadow's right hand' among his fellow travelers, murmured.
As soon as such a voice appeared, it immediately aroused doubts.
"Huh? Senior, are you talking about Uchiha Ara, the trigger for this battle?"
"That guy is only eleven years old, right? Can he swagger past hundreds of Kirigakure elites?"
"Those guys who are good at assassination are not the Iwagakure Corps!"
Omoyi said with a look of disbelief while holding a lollipop in his mouth.
It was already surprising that a guy who was even younger than him could become the persistent target of the Yondaime Mizukage. Now he was suddenly told that the opponent had not only passed through the defense lines of hundreds of Kirigakure elites, but was also recruiting Kirigakure reinforcements. Killed Qing who transplanted the white eyes before arriving!
How can this be believed?
You must know that even if the reason why you appeared in Kumogakure's high-level meeting and followed Lord Raikage here, it was because his master was too unreliable, so he stepped forward on his behalf and was captured.
To put it more bluntly.
The younger generation like them simply do not have the power and value that a great ninja village would care about.
The so-called asking for Uchiha Ara, in his opinion, is just an excuse found by Kirigakure Village. After all, anyone in the Uchiha clan can step on it now.
"Shut up!"
Ai suddenly scolded.
"I asked you to follow me, not to make you talk."
"On the battlefield, don't underestimate anyone!"
With his arrogant muscles, he has absolute control over Yunyin Village.
"After you go back, go into seclusion with your master."
"Darui, keep talking."
After looking away from Omoi, who looked aggrieved, Ai added.
Although subconsciously, he also felt that the possibility of Uchiha Ara killing Ao and taking away the Byakugan was slim, but he could not ignore Darui's point of view.
"Yes, Raikage-sama."
After responding, Darui immediately analyzed:
"First of all, we should probably overthrow the whole incident and look at it again: the reason why the Fourth Generation of Kirigakure Village asked Konoha for Uchiha Ara's purpose is not related to the Akatsuki organization and the resurrection of Uchiha Madara as we previously speculated. "
"It's more likely because Goju Yagura has already discerned something in advance. Maybe Uchiha Ara has a secret comparable to Madara's resurrection!"
"After all, the outsiders who know the Uchiha clan best, apart from the Senju clan of the forest, which is already hard to find, are the Kirigakure village who have been dealing with the Uchiha clan all year round."
As soon as such remarks came out, several of Yun Yin's companions could not help but look thoughtful.
Indeed, they had previously determined that Uchiha Ara was just an excuse for the Fourth Mizukage, and at best, it could be regarded as a key that could unlock a certain secret.
But I never thought that it was a treasure in itself! !
"Secondly, it is true that swordsmanship and fire escape are Uchiha Ara's abilities, and judging from the intelligence collected by the ANBU, that boy's attainments in swordsmanship are not weak at all."
"As for why it is the Fire Release of the Uchiha clan..."
"Can the fire escape of ordinary ninjas completely eliminate the traces of a corpse in a very short period of time? Or while it is still burning."
At this point, Darui suddenly stopped speaking, and there was a hesitant look on his face, as if he was wondering whether he should continue speaking.
"What are you hesitating about?"
"Don't worry about interfering with our judgment, just keep talking!"
The 'shadows' of Yunyin Village seem to have very irritable tempers. Even when they speak normally, they can make outsiders feel an inexplicable sense of majesty and irritability.
"Yes, Raikage-sama."
"Then, my next analysis will directly bring Uchiha Ara into it."
Darui responded and then continued:
"About cutting off the barrier talisman with one blade, there is actually not much controversy."
"After all, Uchiha, who possesses the special Blood Succession Limit and Sharingan, can see through most ninjutsu and taijutsu. I believe he also has some experience in barrier techniques."
"Moreover, this barrier was developed to protect Byakugan. It probably does not have any protective capabilities. It is not surprising that it was broken before it was activated."
"What's really chilling is that that guy was able to break through Qing's reconnaissance and come to Qing's side to complete the assassination!"
"You know, Byakugan has the strongest reconnaissance ability among the known pupil arts."
"I'm afraid even the Raikage-sama can't escape the Byakugan's detection quietly."
Hearing this, Ai, who was wearing a rough body, couldn't help but nodded slightly.
When he enters the Thunder Armor state, he can become green instantly, but before that, he will inevitably be noticed by the opponent. However, judging from the information brought back by Xi, the opponent was eliminated without any detection during the escape. .
There is a big difference between the two.
"Perhaps this is also one of the special abilities of the Sharingan? It blocks the detection of the Byakugan."
"After all, both of them are known as the strongest eye skills. Moreover, Aoya is not a member of the Hyuga clan, so he cannot fully control the Byakugan's ability."
Nozomi raised her chin with her right hand and questioned.
In fact, when he collected these two pieces of information, he also considered the possibility that the initiator was Uchiha Ara, but the other party was too young!
He simply couldn't believe that this was the work of an eleven-year-old boy.
Upon hearing such doubts, Omoi immediately looked at Raikage-sama, as if expecting the latter to reprimand him like before.
However, this was doomed to disappoint him.
Ai had no intention of speaking at all.
Such differential treatment also made him bite the lollipop in his mouth unwillingly.
"I have also considered this possibility."
"But what if Uchiha Ara really has such power?"
"So, can the hundreds of Kirigakure elites who disappeared out of thin air be explained?"
"Even Ao's embarrassment and escape, as well as the Yondaime Mizukage's impatient desire to get that boy, can all of these be answered logically?"
Darui's voice gradually became serious.
Although he didn't want to believe that this guess was true, that the boy named Uchiha Ara would have such a powerful power, but only with this conjecture could he piece together the closest answer under limited conditions!
When such a counterargument was presented in front of everyone, the entire scene fell silent, including Raikage Ai and Omoi, who had previously looked skeptical.
"Goal change: Hunt for Uchiha Ara while waiting for an opportunity!"
"Leave it to me, Gotachibana Yagura!!"
The brief silence was broken.
The person who spoke out was none other than Ai, the leader of Yunyin Village.
His style is always so vigorous and resolute.
And Goju Yagura was the only guy in the entire battlefield who could cause him some trouble.
"Yes, Raikage-sama!"
