I draw sword light in the ninja world

When Xing and others followed the action traces left by the pursuing troops, they suddenly stopped when they came to a dense forest.

"Ok?"

Minato suddenly reached out and grabbed the bushes on the side, and then grabbed something from inside.

When he saw that thing, his already stern expression suddenly darkened.

Everyone turned around and soon saw that what he was holding in his hand was a sword scabbard with only one third of it, and the scabbard was covered in dark red blood.

Seeing the strange expression on Minato's face, Kakashi couldn't help but ask: "Minato-sensei, who is that?"

Minato's hand tightened slightly on the scabbard.

"This is Iroha's scabbard."

As soon as the words fell, everyone fell silent, and Xing's heart tightened even more.

The sword scabbard of the Jonin was found here, and it was stained with blood. Then she herself...and if something happened to her, what would happen to Hayato who escaped with her?

"This scabbard was a birthday gift given to Iroha by her mother before she passed away."

Minato's voice became heavier.

"She has always cherished the scabbard, never leaving it, and never using it as a means of defense."

He and Caiyu are in the same period, and have a pretty good relationship. They have performed many missions together, and they know her quite well.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was self-evident.

Then several people found some special kunai and blood-stained clothing materials that Iroha usually used nearby, as well as some pink hair.

Xing didn't speak, but silently raised his steps, continued to move forward, and left the area.

Kakashi glanced at her back, then turned back to look at the frowning Minato Namikaze, hesitated for a moment, and then softly called:

"Master Watergate."

Minato shook his head and put away the bloody hilt.

"Go ahead."

Umino Ikkaku on the side nodded.

So the group took action again.

At this time, dark clouds filled the night sky, and the variability of the climate in the Lianyun Mountains began to be reflected at this time. The increasingly dense dark clouds flashed with bursts of brilliance from time to time, and at the same time there were muffled sounds, like the roar of a beast suppressing its murderous intent. Like a roar.

Along the way, the five-person team did not encounter any enemies, and Minato's super ability to find enemies never responded.

Another hour passed.

When everyone came to a canyon, Xing's pupils suddenly shrank.

Boom! ! !

Suddenly a thunder flashed in the sky, bringing a moment of light to the earth.

And in the crevices of a pile of rocks not far away, a blood-stained Konoha forehead protector shimmered under the lightning, and the mottled blood around it seemed to be telling a story that was hard for her to accept. fact.

She walked slowly to the pile of rocks, squatted down, stretched out her hand tremblingly, and took out the forehead protector from the crack in the stone. She gently rubbed her thumb on a row of small, inconspicuous marks on the upper right corner of the forehead protector.

That was the congratulatory message she carefully carved on it with a kunai when Hayato passed the graduation exam last time and they had barbecue together in the evening to celebrate.

"fortunate?"

Huahui walked up behind her and called her softly.

Xing turned around, his face expressionless.

"This is Hayato's forehead protector."

pat...

Hua Hui loosened her hand, and the kunai she was holding tightly fell to the ground in an instant.

wow wow~~

After the thunder, there is a heavy rain.

Big raindrops fell from the sky and soon formed a hazy rain curtain.

All traces gradually disappeared in the rain.

Moreover, it was difficult to find traces of the enemy around. They seemed to have noticed the failure of the pursuit force, and knew that their actions had probably been noticed by Konoha, so they chose to retreat.

There is no need to continue action.

Xing held on to the forehead protector in his hand, his eyes completely losing light, as if dead, letting the rain beat on his body.

Her long black hair soon became completely soaked in the rain. Her bangs, which she usually carefully took care of, fell down, covering the upper half of her face. Only her original black eyes could be faintly seen, and there was an inexplicable flash of something strange. of scarlet.

"Let's go back."

Minato finally spoke.

He also felt uncomfortable because after all, a friend he had known for many years died in the line of duty.

But as the captain of the temporary team, he has done everything he can, and he also knows that there is no point in pursuing her anymore, it will be a waste of effort, and he should not let a little girl's willfulness go at this time.

Xing was silent and just stood quietly in the rain, as if he didn't care about anything in the outside world.

...............

"Huh? It's raining..."

Hayato, who was unaware of what was happening outside, looked through the waterfall at the blurry scene of wind and rain outside. From time to time, bursts of thunder could be heard in his ears, but he felt quietly relaxed in his heart.

Rain is good, heavy rain is even better.

Rain can cover up a lot of things.

The smell of blood and traces of action will gradually disappear under the wash of rain. Although the possibility of the enemy chasing here is slim, adding a layer of insurance is not a bad thing after all.

Although through the memory of the shadow clone's disappearance, he knew that Hua Hui and Beidou happened to meet Minato's squad and Sachi's team, and he also knew that they would probably rush to help, but the direction in which he took Iroyu to escape was the same as the direction in which Hua Hui and the others left. It's completely the opposite, so even if they set off to rush over immediately, it will take a long time, and there is basically no hope.

Moreover, he used the shadow clone technique to set up so many obstacles along the way that even enemies who were good at chasing might not be able to find him, let alone them who were so far away.

After a night of silence, Hayato opened his eyes early the next morning, walked up to Iroha, and found that her condition was better than last night.

But he is still quite weak and unable to awaken consciousness for the time being.

Hayato checked her for a while and determined that her life was not in danger. It was just that she had over-consumed chakra when restraining the enemy. In addition, she was too seriously injured and lost too much blood. She needed a period of time to recover and take good care of herself.

And since he needs to be recuperated, it's time to put his old skills into play.

But there is nothing here at the waterfall, so we have to find some ingredients that will help us recover from our injuries.

So he directly consumed a large amount of chakra to separate two shadow clones and leave the waterfall, while the main body stayed in the cave of the waterfall to continue taking care of Iroha.

I have to say that the Shadow Clone Jutsu is really convenient. Whether it is fighting or living, practicing or studying, it can play a significant role in all aspects. Coupled with its powerful recovery ability, it can be quickly used in non-combat situations. By replenishing the consumption of the shadow clone, most of the chakra can be used to activate this technique.

Therefore, this is also the ninjutsu with which he has the highest proficiency, bar none.

It's a pity that the shadow clone can't use skills, otherwise it would be perfect.

At this time, it was still raining heavily outside. Judging from the situation, the heavy rain will continue for a while.

After such a night of heavy rain, there is no need to deliberately erase the traces of the action. The enemy will not be able to find this place. Moreover, after the enemy discovers that the previous pursuit team was killed by him, they will definitely realize that their actions have been noticed by Konoha. As long as they do not Stupid people will choose to give up action.

After all, Konoha is still the largest ninja village in the ninja world. A small ninja village is no match for a head-on battle. There is no need to persist in fighting a battle that is destined to be unwinnable.

Soon, the two shadow clones came back wet, carrying a dozen kilograms of fish, some mushrooms and wild vegetables, and some firewood in their hands.

After the shadow clone put the things away, Hayato formed a simple magic seal, released the shadow clone, walked over, picked up the ingredients, and handled them skillfully.
