Konoha's Sea of ​​Fire

After being frightened back by Uchiha Shisui, Ao and others hid in a small canyon fifty miles away from Konoha Village.

Due to the melting snow in the canyon, the humidity is very heavy, and even the ground under your feet is muddy. You can leave a line of footprints by walking lightly.

Several fog ninjas wiped away all the footprints along the way to ensure that they would not be followed.

"Qing, what should we do now?"

"Should the mission continue?"

"Uchiha Shisui probably didn't notice us."

Qing muttered: "Although the Sharingan is powerful, it is not as good as the Byakugan when it comes to detection. I discovered Uchiha Shisui, but he may not be able to discover me."

"That means we haven't been discovered yet, which is great."

"Let's find another chance to sneak into Konoha."

Listening to the mist ninja's words to each other, Qing felt a little cold in his heart.

The moment he saw Uchiha Shisui before, he was shocked to realize that there was something fishy about this mission.

The Fourth Generation asked them to inquire about the Uchiha clan's intelligence. For this kind of thing, the fewer people the better, so as to reduce the risk of exposure. If more than a dozen people like them sneak in, they will be easily detected.

Moreover, although his Byakugan can help everyone avoid Konoha's restrictions, don't forget that there are many ninjas with Byakugan in the Hyuga clan in Konoha. Once the ninjas of the Hyuga clan discover the abnormalities in their eyes, they will immediately A life-and-death situation

Cold sweat broke out on Ao's forehead. According to this idea, he speculated that the real purpose of Yondaime sending him to Konoha was not to find out the information about the Uchiha clan, but to kill him.

Why would the fourth generation do this?

No, I must be thinking too much.

Qingmei's heart was beating and she was getting more and more uneasy.

"Qing, Qing, what's wrong with you?"

"You look very bad. Are you injured?"

All the fog ninjas asked in concern.

Qing shook his head, then gritted his teeth and clenched his fists and said: "I have decided to give up the mission. Let's pack up and return to the village immediately."

"Why are you going back like this?"

"Don't we still have a chance?"

"Qing, what happened?"

Ao did not dare to speak out the speculation in his heart, and only said: "With Shunshen Shisui here, it is impossible for us to avoid him and enter Konoha. Instead of dying in vain, it is better to give up directly. I believe the Yondaime will not blame us. of"

"But"

"This is an order," Qing said coldly, "Retreat immediately."

Under Qing's tough attitude, all the fog ninjas had no choice but to accept their fate, simply packed up and left quickly.

Two hours later.

Feng Huo finally came over.

Ao was very cautious when he left Konoha. Apart from leaving a few traces at the beginning, there were no traces after that. Feng Huo and his shadow clone spent a lot of time to successfully find the canyon, but unfortunately they were still a step too late.

"Nima"

Feng Huo summoned fifteen shadow clones again and said coldly, "Keep looking."

The fifteen shadow clones immediately fanned out towards the coastline of the Kingdom of Fire.

Feng Huo also randomly chose a direction to set off, feeling anxious.

This guy Ao is so cunning. He and Uchiha Shisui were so frightened that they ran away without covering their faces. It was a complete embarrassment to the Kirin ninja.

Feng Huo despises this kind of person the most.

In the past few days, Feng Huo and his shadow clones had been getting closer and closer to the coastal areas of the Country of Fire, but there was still no trace of Qing and the others.

"It seems that we can only block people at the dock." Feng Huo said secretly.

Although the coastline of the Country of Fire is very winding and long, there are not many docks.

Regardless of whether the Mist Ninja chooses to take a downwind merchant ship or rent it directly, it must be done at the dock. Of course, if the Mist Ninja and the others choose Route 11 to run back to the Kingdom of Water from the sea

Well, the chance of this should be low. After all, the sea is not land. Extreme weather such as tsunamis and thunderstorms can also cause great harm to ninjas, so they don't dare to take risks unless they have to.

After Feng Huo rested for a long time, he sent fifteen shadow clones to various docks to monitor the merchant ships heading to the Kingdom of Water.

People were coming and going at various piers, and it was very lively. The smell of sweat and fishy smell permeated the surroundings, killing people even if they died.

At a coastal pier, Qing and two companions came to rent a merchant ship.

Qing was very cautious and looked around with his white eyes before going in.

The pier is not small, and there are many buildings that block Byakugan's vision, so Ao decisively uses Byakugan's powerful clairvoyance ability. With the clairvoyance ability, he can directly ignore all the buildings on the pier and see everyone's chakra clearly and intuitively.

Then, his face changed slightly.

"Retreat, quickly." Qing lowered his head, turned around and walked out.

"Qing, what did you see?"

"Aren't we going to rent a boat?"

Qing was silent.

The two friends next to them looked at each other, a little confused.

After the three people left quickly, they hurried to another dock dozens of miles away.

As a result, before entering, Qing's expression changed again.

Then he went directly around the pier and rushed towards a pier a hundred miles away again.

The two friends who followed him looked at each other, not knowing why Qing was acting like this.

But one thing that can be confirmed is that after Qing came to the Land of Fire, his mental endurance became worse and worse. He would change his face at every turn and would not say anything when asked what he saw.

irritable.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the third pier, Qing stopped moving forward again, his face uncertain.

The two friends were speechless and asked him what was going on. He remained silent again and said nothing.

The two friends were helpless and aggrieved.

"Retreat" Qing sighed, turned around and left quickly.

The sky was gradually darkening, and the sea breeze was blowing more and more violently. On a steep cliff hanging on the lonely coastline, a group of mist ninjas were waiting anxiously.

"Qing went to rent a boat, why did he go so long?"

"Did an accident happen?"

"It's getting dark. If Qing doesn't come back, we have to move just in case."

At this moment, Qing finally came back with two friends with weird faces.

Qing didn't wait for others to ask questions and said directly, "Everyone, our whereabouts have been leaked. Everyone, prepare, we are leaving here immediately."

"What was discovered"

"Are you a ninja from Konoha?"

"Is the other party very powerful?"

Everyone looked at Qing.

Qing nodded solemnly: "I saw a powerful chakra on the dock before, and then I went to several other docks and saw exactly the same chakra fluctuations."

"How is it possible that the chakra fluctuations are exactly the same?"

"Could it be a shadow clone?"

A sharp look flashed in his blue eyes: "Yes, it's a shadow clone. And I believe there are shadow clones of him guarding you at the pier further away. He can create so many shadow clones, and he can also make the shadow clones possess such powerful chakra. There is only one person in the whole of Konoha who can do it.”

Mist Ninja, you look at me and I look at you, both of you are shocked in your heart.

"Is it"

"Uchiha Fire Sealing"
