When they become villains in Konoha, the female ninjas all break down.

After the group arrived at the tree hollow,

Only a few bloodstains and congealed blood spots were found inside the tree hollow.

There were also some blood-stained bandages.

It's as if Shinichi Uchiha had his wounds bandaged here before.

"Is Shinichi injured?"

Shisui looked puzzled. "But didn't Lord Danzo and the others fail to find him?"

Kakashi turned to his ninja dog Pakkun and confirmed:

"Does the smell in this cave match the smell on the rags from before?"

“It can’t be wrong.” Parker sniffed.

.......

130. Target: Fang Yuan? Intelligence from the Demon Organization.

"The bloodstains on the ground had congealed and turned black."

Fang Yuan squatted down and examined the area for a moment, then said calmly:

"This didn't happen today; it must have happened last night."

Shisui asked with a grave expression, "Is there another group chasing Shinichi?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

After a pause, Fang Yuan asked Kakashi, "Are you sure Shinichi wasn't injured when he left?"

Kakashi replied, "He was indeed injured a few times during the battle, but not seriously."

For Kakashi, who possesses a Mangekyou Sharingan.

A keen eye for detail.

It's not much worse than Fangyuan and Zhishui.

Moreover, he was completely focused on observing Shinichi Uchiha at the time.

Every single detail.

None of them escaped his eyes.

"His injuries weren't serious when he left, and he managed to shake off Konoha's pursuit using shadow clones, so why was he so badly injured?"

"Could there really be a third force involved? Is it Obito? Or someone else?"

Fang Yuan stroked his chin with one hand, quietly pondering.

In his opinion.

If it were Obito who made the move.

Shinichi Uchiha was either directly tricked or killed.

They either ran away or simply escaped.

Such a fierce battle is unlikely to occur.

Because this doesn't quite fit Obito Uchiha's fighting style.

"Unless Shinichi can force Obito to use Wood Release?"

Fang Yuan quickly shook his head.

I banished that absurd thought from my mind.

Firstly, Obito, being the sixth brother, had no need to fight to the death with Shinichi Uchiha.

Secondly, Obito, who had been impersonating Madara all along, would not expose his Wood Release for the sake of Shinichi Uchiha.

I gathered my thoughts.

Fang Yuan said to the others, "There might be other forces involved; we need to be more careful."

After realizing that a mysterious third party might be involved.

Apart from Fang Yuan, the other three were filled with worry.

They were concerned about the purpose of this mysterious force's intervention.

They were also worried that Shinichi Uchiha would fall into the hands of the other side.

You need to know the value of a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan.

It is difficult to estimate.

Furthermore, there are no technical barriers to transplanting the Mangekyou Sharingan.

In terms of theft prevention, the Uchiha clan is clearly inferior to the Hyuga clan's Byakugan.

Kakashi's Sharingan is the best example.

Considering that the Mangekyou Sharingan might end up outside of Konoha.

Shisui quickly asked Parker, "Can we continue tracking?"

Parker circled the tree hole once before speaking:

"It's hard to say, the scent is almost entirely concentrated inside the tree hole, and the scent left outside is very faint."

Kakashi urged, "Give it a try!"

Parker could only nod.

Instantaneous.

　The 360 ​​Eight Ninja Dogs spread outwards from the tree hole as the center.

They began searching for the scent left behind by Shinichi Uchiha.

A short while later, a slender greyhound raised its front paw and said:

"found it."

Parker rushed over, sniffed carefully, and nodded:

"Hmm...that's right, it's his scent."

After discovering Shinichi Uchiha's whereabouts again.

The group did not delay.

They immediately tracked them down.

Traveling at various stops, the day passed quickly.

Under the shade of a tree somewhere.

The four of them sat together, studying the map intently.

"Looking at the Uchiha's actual escape route..."

Kakashi drew a line on the map with his finger and continued, "His target seems to be the Land of Hot Water, the Land of the Moon, and the Land of Lightning."

Staring at the map, they all fell silent.

For the four who had experienced the battle on the border of the Land of Lightning.

They were very familiar with this area.

Therefore, they are very clear about what this area means.

If Uchiha Shinichi was only hiding in the two small countries of the Land of Hot Water and the Land of the Moon.

That makes things alright.

But what if Shinichi Uchiha defected to Kumogakure?

That would be big trouble.

As an elite Jonin of the Uchiha clan, Shinichi Uchiha knew many secrets of the village.

In addition, he is a member of the Uchiha clan.

They were well aware of the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village.

In other words.

Putting aside his own value as a Mangekyou Sharingan master.

It was simply the leak of the intelligence he possessed.

This is a huge problem for the village.

After pondering for a long time, Shisui gritted his teeth and said:

"We must intercept him within the Land of Fire."

“Mmm…” Knight Kai nodded in agreement, “We can’t let him make the same mistake again.”

Kakashi said, "I'll send a message to the border ninja forces and tell them to prepare for an interception."

Fang Yuan remained silent.

He secretly pondered to himself, "Does Uchiha Shinichi want to defect to Kumogakure? Will Kumogakure take him in? Would Kumogakure dare to take him in?"

If the Hidden Cloud Village had taken in Shinichi Uchiha.

Then the peace talks currently underway with Konoha would be meaningless.

This means that Konoha and Kumogakure will once again enter a state of war.

This time, Konoha had nowhere left to retreat.

We have no choice but to launch a full-scale attack.

At that time, will Kumogakure be able to withstand their advance and that of Minato Namikaze?

However, considering how shameless Yunyin is.

They might secretly take in Shinichi Uchiha.

On the surface, they claimed to be unaware of the situation.

After all, Kumogakure was the ninja village that sent people to Konoha to kidnap children on two separate occasions.

The first time was with Kushina when she was a child.

The second one is Hinata Hyuga, which hasn't happened yet.

Others might not be able to do this, but they definitely are.

After all, the Hidden Cloud Village has always been shameless.

The next day, before dawn.

The four of them set off again.

I originally thought it was just a simple mission to hunt down rogue ninjas.

However, a mysterious third party may intervene.

And it is speculated that Shinichi Uchiha's escape destination might be the Hidden Cloud Village.

Things became complicated.

Kakashi and the others had an epiphany.

If we cannot capture Shinichi Uchiha quickly.

Things could very well escalate to the point where another ninja war breaks out.

After tracking for another half day, Fang Yuan frowned and said:

Something's not right.

“Yeah, if Shinichi was really seriously injured, how could he be so fast?” Might Guy said, raising his thick eyebrows. “It doesn’t make any sense!”

"I can't control that much."

Zhi Shui said seriously, "We've already chased them this far, let's keep chasing them."
