Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch Uchiha Zongxian

"Are you sure it's here?"

"I'm not sure whether the target's lair is really here, but I can confirm that the target must have gone into the mountains. The residual smell tells me so."

"In other words, you have to go in and visit."

"······Aha······"

"What should we do? Should we divide our forces? Or should we go together?"

At the foot of Mount Sumilu, at the entrance of the mountain road not far from Hyakukao Street, ninjas from Konoha gathered here, looking up at the building standing in front of them on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Iron. In the majestic mountains of the border area, the two deputy heads of the Konoha Kirigakure Rebel Joint Investigation Department, Hatake Kakashi and Kiden Mangetsu, were discussing the next action plan.

The reason why they appeared here is very simple. After the full moon of the ghost lamp brought the information that Kazuma and others attacked the fog ninja, Konohagakure finally paid attention to Kazuma, the traitor who protected the Twelve Ninjas.

The Fifth Generation Hokage, who was inconvenient to handle the work, left the job in the hands of Zong Xian, and Zong Xian directly formed an investigation team to trace the whereabouts of Kazuma and others. In addition to the two deputy ministers, the members also There are three people: Itachi Uchiha, Kimimaro Kaguya, and Yuri Ringo, plus two ANBU teams who are good at tracking. These two ANBU teams do not participate in combat missions. Their job is just to track.

That is,

The combat mission belongs to six people: Hatake Kakashi, Oni Mangetsu, Uchiha Itachi, Kaguya Kimimaro, Uchiha Chihaya and Lin Eoyu Yuri.

This number is not that large,

but,

The quality is top notch.

They are all jounin, and they are all the best among them. The youngest among them is Kaguya Kimimaro, who is 14 years old, but he is already one of the top taijutsu masters in Konoha Village, except for the blue beast. Besides, few people dare to say that they can defeat Kimimaro with physical skills alone.

To be honest, this lineup is more than enough to conquer a small country.

"It's too dangerous to separate the troops. Kazuma... that man is difficult to deal with. Kakashi, you have also read the information about the Earth Spider Clan's forbidden arts. If you accidentally get hit by that thing, I don't think we should care. Everyone will die, so be careful."

Gui Deng Man Yue shook her head and rejected the proposal to divide the troops.

"Then go directly?"

Hatake Kakashi raised his head, looked at this rarely visited mountain, and asked for advice.

Sumilu Mountain is located on the border of the Land of Fire and the Land of Iron. At the foot of the mountain is the main transportation route between the two countries, but this does not mean that this mountain will be very popular.

There are no world-beating scenery here, nor are there any ancient historical legends. Moreover, due to the completely different climates of the two countries, the mountains are shrouded in cold fog all year round. Even ninjas will not come here with nothing to do. Kind of local adventure.

"Go straight up and search the mountains to see if this is their lair."

"No matter what, I just want to kill people quickly."

"Leidao Ya can't wait to eat meat."

"can."

"It doesn't matter, anything will do!"

The companions expressed their opinions one after another, and no one objected. They were all bold masters of skilled artists, especially Uchiha Chihaya and Ringo Yuri, two fighting madmen. If it were not for the restraints of Hatake Kakashi and Onito Mangetsu, both of them would not be able to fight. The people had already gone straight up the mountain to kill them.

"Then, Kakashi-sama, us?"

One of the captains of the two ANBU teams asked in a low voice.

"You stay here and wait for us to come back."

Kakashi stretched out his hand and counted the ninja bag.

These two ANBU teams who are good at tracking cannot be casually destroyed. Instead of taking them on an adventure, it is better to wait at the foot of the mountain. If this is not the lair of Kazuma and others, there is no point in looking for them to collect clues. Chi, if you win the lottery... wouldn't it be just right!

Before Gui Deng Man Yue was speaking, his hands were forming seals. He used the [Water Avatar Technique]. Three water avatars appeared beside him, and under the instructions, they followed the path that strictly speaking could only be regarded as beasts. Start climbing on the trodden trail.

Water clone is the most chakra-saving of all physical clone techniques.

It is an excellent choice for exploring paths.

Although it is not as good as the shadow clone in transmitting information back, it is possible to use the water clone to test whether there is any danger. If there is danger, it is not impossible to use the shadow clone to find out the situation.

Furthermore,

With the Water Transformation Technique at his side, ordinary means cannot harm him at all.

Seeing that the ghost full moon chose the dangerous job of exploring the road, Uchiha Itachi thought for a while and did not fight for anything. His red eyes turned back to pitch black. Keeping the Sharingan open consumes a lot of chakra.

He took the initiative to fall at the back, obviously preparing to take the rear position for the team, forming a formation of Ghost Light Full Moon at the head, Hatake Kakashi in second place, Uchiha Chihaya and Lin Eu Yuri in the middle, Kaguya Kimimaro and Uchiha Itachi in the rear. formation.

In this way, a group of people broke into the inaccessible Sumilu Mountain.

雾，

Gradually it becomes thicker.

"...Huh! Huh! The temperature dropped so fast!"

After entering the mountain for only 10 minutes, Kakashi Hatake felt the negative impact of the cold environment. It was not just him, everyone felt that as the white mist around him became thicker, the energy in his body Heat is also being lost at an accelerating rate.

of course,

This is not enough to make them feel difficult.

It's just that... it wouldn't be a good thing if this situation continues to intensify as they go deeper.

He rubbed his hands and looked around.

They did not move forward at full speed because they were wary of traps, but with the strength of their feet, they had almost reached the depths of Sumilu Mountain. There was no established road for a long time, and they were walking through it like wolf fangs. In the midst of the towering stone forest.

The hazy cold fog blocked their vision. It was not impossible to say that they could not see their fingers, but they could only roughly see the situation within five or six meters around them.

at this time,

"boom!"

There was a loud noise from the front, like something hard and heavy hitting the ground.

"Be careful, all my water clones have been drained."

Gui Deng Man Yue stopped and stared solemnly at the space ahead covered by the white cold fog. The moment he finished speaking, four iron-colored crossbows penetrated the fog and flew towards the crowd. Shooting.

"Crossbow?"

When Kakashi heard the strange noise, he had already raised the forehead protector on his head, revealing his scarlet eyes, and clearly saw the trajectory of the crossbow gun. If he was willing, he would not be able to do it at all. It doesn't take much effort to dodge.

just,

Behind him were Uchiha Mae and Ringo Yuri. He was a little worried that if he dodged the crossbow, he might be greeted by a more terrifying slash from behind. The two of them were fighting wildly, but they didn't know what it meant. Convergence has always been exaggerated.

After thinking for a tenth of a second, Kakashi chose to wave the kunai in his hand and block the two crossbows heading towards him.

As for the other two iron-colored crossbows, they were shot away by Gui Deng Man Yue wielding her double swords.

"Good weight!"?

Kakashi exclaimed.

The impact of these two crossbows was so strong that it made his arms feel numb.

"But... what are these things? Are they dogs?" His attention was drawn to the head that appeared in front of them through the thick fog, wearing bone armor and carrying a crossbow on its shoulders. The gun attracted the strange dog.

"probably?"

Gui Deng Man Yue looked at the monsters in front of him and was not sure.

"It should be a dog, but it has obviously been transformed by someone. We may have really found the right place this time." Uchiha Itachi, standing behind the team, said in a deep voice. The strange dogs formed a circle, and through the thick fog, The cover had unknowingly surrounded them all.

"Transforming living things? I didn't expect that there is such a technology... He Ma and others are really planning something big!"

Kakashi quickly understood the value of these things.

The attacks from the two crossbows just now were not a problem for him, but ordinary chuunin might not be able to gain much benefit from them. If he was not careful, he might suffer a big loss.

Once the number of these strange dogs reaches a certain level, it will definitely become a big trouble.

"Kakashi, can you do it?"

Not everyone thinks as much as Kakashi. As for Uchiha Chihaya, she is too lazy to think about so many useless things. No matter what kind of trouble there is, just cut it with one knife. If one knife is not enough, then use a few more. .

"...Just take action!"

Kakashi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that now was not the time to think about these things. Dealing with these strange dogs in front of him was the top priority. As for the others... it would not be too late to think about it later.

[Uchiha flow·Tianfeng chaos]

Uchiha Chihaya, who had been patient for a long time, launched six lightning-fast slashes in an instant.

Under the amplification of the Kusanagi sword named [Vacuum Blade], the extremely sharp slash directly divided the six strange dogs into corpses. The hard-looking bone armor was not much stronger than Kuchiki in the face of the slash. , even the stone pillar behind the strange dog left the deep slash marks.

I don’t know if I was stimulated by the smell of blood.

Or maybe it's the people behind the scenes who are manipulating it,

The strange dogs that originally just surrounded everyone and then stopped and did nothing at all roared at the same time, and crossbows shot down from all directions like a rainstorm.

fighting,

it has started.

"Fortunately I didn't bring them up with me."

Kakashi, who used the Substitute Technique to escape, looked at the wooden pile that was left in his place and was shot to pieces by crossbows one after another, and wiped a cold sweat. If he brought the two ANBU teams, he would be helpless in the battle. Unimaginable trouble.

ANBU has long ceased to be a pure special force with assassination tactics.

The Anbu, which had been expanded into a behemoth in the hands of Sarutobi Hiruzen, was all-encompassing and had all kinds of talents. It couldn't be said that this was not a good idea. At least talents like this who were proficient in tracking techniques were still very useful.

[Thunder Escape·Serpent Star]

Lin Yuri excitedly waved the Thunder Saber Fang in his hand.

Along with her, the mighty lightning swept away all the strange dogs that dared to stand in her way. The destructive power was so impressive that Kakashi, who was also good at lightning escape, could only look up. He and Lin Eoyu Yuri There are clearly two different directions in the practice of Thunder Escape.

He follows a proper technical stream.

Pay attention to how to deal with opponents efficiently and effortlessly.

Needless to say, Yuri Lin is obviously pursuing the destructive power of lightning escape technique to its limit.

"Have you gotten stronger again?"

Ghost Lantern Man Yue swung his two swords, Flounder, and smashed the head of a strange dog. Looking at the thunder light that kept lighting up, he realized that Lin Yuyu seemed to have become a little stronger after being gone for about three months.

This destructive power,

He was also envious.

The water transformation technique of their clan is strong in survivability, but is actually not very outstanding in terms of destructive power, unless they can master the technique left by the second generation Mizukage, but...he is loved by the Ninja Sword. The child prodigy seems not to be liked very much by his ancestors.

The techniques left behind by the second generation Mizukage have yet to be mastered.

Every time I think about this, I feel extremely annoyed.

"Hey, Man Yue, don't be distracted!"

Kakashi shouted.

"...Sorry, I suddenly remembered something."

Gui Deng Man Yue shook his head, cleared away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and continued to concentrate on cleaning up the large number of strange dogs. The blood mist knife technique from the Hidden Mist Village showed its skills at this moment, killing these monsters like chopping melons and vegetables. dogs.

He's not the only one mowing the grass, either.

Except for Kakashi who was suspected of paddling, everyone else worked extremely hard to clean up these strange dogs. Needless to say, Uchiha Chihaya and Ringo Yuri were two fighting mad men. Fighting was not a burden to them. On the contrary, it is a kind of enjoyment.

And Uchiha Itachi and Kimimaro,

A combination of Uchiha-style throwing techniques and fire escape techniques can effectively kill these strange dogs, but compared to Kimimaro...his speed is still a bit slower.

The Kaguya clan who awakened the blood inheritance boundary were once known as killing weapons during the Warring States Period.

The current situation,

A good explanation of what a killing weapon is.

Kimimaro took off the clothes on his upper body, and pale, sharp and strong white bones poured out from all over his body. From a distance, he looked like a white hedgehog, which would be pricked with blood whenever he stretched out his hand. of killing weapons.

Coupled with the fighting method passed down from generation to generation of the Kaguya clan,

The bones that emerged from Kimimaro's body were all stained red, all covered with the blood of those strange dogs. He himself could not even scratch a single hair. Behind him, there were corpses of strange dogs on the ground. .

The battle broke out suddenly and ended extremely quickly.

"The last one."

Kakashi, who was paddling all the way, took care of the last strange dog.

At this time, the stone forest was full of corpses of strange dogs, and the scarlet blood stained the nearby land. Only the white cold mist remained unstained, silently grabbing the blood from the living people and corpses. heat.

"Has everything been resolved?"

Gui Deng Man Yue squatted on a stone pillar and looked around vigilantly. Unfortunately, he did not have eye skills and could not see very far at this time.

"Well, it's almost cleaned up."

Uchiha Itachi replied.

The Sharingan does not have far-sightedness, but it can still see through the fog to a certain extent. He looked around and found no living strange dogs, but——

"Kakashi-senpai, Mangetsu-senpai, I think we can go north next!" Uchiha Itachi suggested.

"North?"

Gui Deng Man Yue looked over doubtfully.

"These monsters, if nothing else, come from the north. There are many footprints on the green moss over there."
