A Wishing Konoha Ninja

Not long after Team [-] set off with Ikuo, Iwagakure's pursuit force also followed the clues left by Ikuo and chased them to Amizen Town.

During this last stretch of the journey, Ikuo relied almost entirely on his will to carry him through. His physical strength was basically exhausted and he no longer had any extra energy to cover up his traces.

Iwa Ninja soon arrived at the hotel where Kazami Shinobu and the others stayed earlier.

"Gadi, have you found any useful information?" Iwa ninja Ipan asked impatiently when he saw his vice-captain and friend coming out of the room.

"Judging from the footprints in the room, four Konoha ninjas have already connected with the traitor, and there is still a trace of warmth left in the bed. They must have been away for no more than two hours." Vice-captain Gadi immediately answered.

"Very good, Gadi, have you found the direction they left?"

"That goes without saying, of course it's no problem."

After receiving the affirmative answer from his friend, Shi Pan immediately ordered all the Iwa ninjas: "Let's set off immediately. I will catch up with them within two hours."

"Received" x9

The five members of Team [-] and Ikuo are currently jumping on the branches of the big trees in the dense forest of the Land of Rain, causing a loud sound of wind.

"call out"

After Feng Jianren, who was moving at high speed on the tree, suddenly received a distant thought wave, he immediately slowed down and diverted part of his energy to sense the rear.

Mamoru, who was running behind, noticed that Kazumi Shinobu suddenly slowed down, and immediately asked with concern: " Kazami, why are you slowing down? Is there something wrong with your health?"

But Kazumi Shinobu didn't react at all, with a very solemn look on his face.

"Wait."

When Hayato saw Feng Jian's expression, he knew that he must have discovered something, so he also slowed down and stood guard.

"Okay, it's up to you." Ahu had no choice but to sacrifice his life to accompany Junzi.

At this time, in the forest a little behind Kazami Shinobi and the others, Iwa Ninja Iban was leading nine of his subordinates to quickly chase in the direction of Team [-].

On an old tree with lush branches in front of the Iwa Ninja team, there was a humanoid object that they had not noticed, staring at them with its obsidian eyes.

"Pru"

After all the rock ninjas passed by, Kazumi ninja's telekinesis Pulu slowly dissipated.

After knowing that there might be an Iwa Ninja chasing after him, Kazumi Ninja found an opportunity to release Prue for surveillance purposes on the way.

After years of training, although Prue is still a weakling with no combat power of [-], its range of movement has been greatly increased, and it can be used as the eyes and ears of Kazami Shinobi.

Just now, it was Puru who noticed that a large group of high-energy objects were approaching rapidly, so he notified the main body, allowing Kazami Shinobu to distract himself and observe the enemy.

After seeing Kazumi Shinobu come to his senses, Ahu hurriedly asked: " Kazami, did you find anything?"

"Let's catch up with Mr. Duan before we catch up."

Since Ikuo's physical strength has not yet fully recovered, his traveling speed is slower than Kazami Shinobu's full speed.

Therefore, Kazami Shinobu and the others quickly caught up with Kato Dan and Ikuo who were at the front.

"Teacher Dan, there are ten Iwa ninjas following us at a speed far exceeding ours. They will probably catch up with us soon."

After running to the front, Kazami Shinobu immediately told Kato Dantei the information he sensed.

"Feng Jian, you still have such perceptive abilities."

"Yes, it is also passed down from our ancestors."

Kazami Shinobu: Yes, all the secret techniques are passed down from the family, that’s it.

Kato Dan: How many lost secret techniques does your family still have?

At this time, Ikuo interrupted and asked: "Can you sense who among those rock ninjas?"

Through Prue's perspective just now, Kazumi Shinobu had long discovered that the Iwa Ninja had the strongest aura among the ten, and he directly replied: "The leader is a tall and thin ninja, and the most special thing is his arms. Very long.”

"The arms are very long. Are his arms longer than his knees?" After learning the characteristics of the other party, a figure flashed in Ikuo's mind and he quickly asked.

"Probably longer than the knees."

Kazami Shinobu's answer confirmed Ikuo that the other person was definitely the person he knew, and his face immediately became ugly.

"That must be Shi Pan, the captain of the demolition force, the most elite ninja force in Iwagakure Village. It is said that he can use a special earth escape secret technique, which is very powerful."

Having said this, Ikuo seemed to have made a major decision in his heart. After taking a deep breath, he took out a completely sealed document from his arms and said:

"Zanjonin, this is a confidential document about Konoha that I desperately obtained from the Iwagakure Village. Please help me forward it to the Hokage-sama."

Ikuo knew that if there was only one person present who could return to the Land of Fire alive, that person would definitely be Kato Dan.

As long as they return to the Kingdom of Fire, the Iwa Ninja pursuit force headed by Ishiwa will not be able to continue to go deep into retrieving this confidential document.

Judging from the current situation, he and the three genin who are in poor condition will definitely be caught up by the Iwa ninja. He himself has no chance to escape. As for the Kazami ninja and the others, they can only depend on their own luck.

"I'll stay and buy time for you, Jonin, please," Ikuo said with a look of death on his face.

However, Kato Dan shook his head and did not reach out to take the confidential document. He said calmly: "The mission I took over from the Hokage is to bring Ikuo Chuunin back to Konoha safely, not to take this document back."

Ikuo said anxiously: "Jōnin, don't worry about this now."

Before he could finish speaking, Kato Dan immediately interrupted: "No, our ninth team has never given up on any mission on our own initiative, and you won't tell me this time either."

"That's right, our ninth team will never give up on the mission."

"Just a mere Iwa nin."

"agree."

"You, are you really ninjas? This is so stupid."

Although he did not agree with the philosophy of Team [-], some feelings in Ikuo's heart that had been erased by his long spy career miraculously resurfaced, making his eyes gradually moisten.

"Kazemi, you will continue to lead everyone to the Land of Fire later." After seeing everyone unanimously agree, Kato Dan smiled with satisfaction and began to make combat arrangements.

"Received." Feng Jianren nodded immediately.

"Hayato, Mamoru, you two keep an eye on my body and keep moving."

"Understood." x2

After the arrangement was completed, Kato Dan's hands began to rapidly change various hand seals.

"The Art of Spiritualization"

Kato Dan, who turned into a spirit body, immediately flew towards the Iwa Ninja chasing troops after coming out of his body.

Among the Iwa Ninja chasing troops, Shi Pan, who was running at the front, suddenly caught a glimpse of a blue light approaching rapidly.

"That's it." Shipan squinted his eyes and observed the blue light carefully, and a piece of information flashed through his mind: "No, everyone, please disperse. That is the art of spiritualization, and the opponent is Konoha's Kato Dan."
