Naruto: Start by Unlocking the Power of Death

"Shall we search separately?" Asuma looked at Kakashi. Kakashi was the leading jonin, and his orders were absolute during the mission.

Even though he is the son of the Hokage, he must obey the orders of the leading jonin during the mission.

Kakashi shook his head: "They were able to kill everyone at the outpost easily and clean up all the traces with ease. They must be very strong. There should be a jonin among the enemies. It would be too dangerous to separate rashly."

Several people nodded, saying that was a good point.

Except for Kakashi, the rest are just special jonin. This team is not very strong, but it would still be dangerous if they encounter a jonin team.

If they encounter an S-rank rebel ninja, they will be in even greater danger. After all, those who can become an S-rank jonin are extremely powerful among the jonin!

"Then let's use shadow clones to act separately." Yoruichi suggested.

Shadow clone is a very practical ninjutsu that can be of great use in tracking, escaping and various other aspects.

It is one of the essential ninjutsu for all ninjas.

The ninjas who are leaving here now are also using clone-type ninjutsu, which can avoid the pursuing enemies to a certain extent.

Facing this situation, the best option is to let the shadow clones act separately!

Kakashi nodded: "That's it, we will act separately with the shadow clones."

The identities of the four people are not low, two of them are from wealthy ninja clans, one is the son of the Hokage, and one is an Anbu Jonin in the village, all of them have mastered the Shadow Clone Technique.

Without hesitation, the four of them each created two shadow clones and set off in different directions under the guidance of the ninja dogs.

A ninja dog led the four shadow clones in one direction, but suddenly stopped after going a distance. It looked at Kakashi and said, "The ones in this direction should be clones. The smell disappeared after they came here."

The four of them looked at each other, and Kakashi said, "Okay, you go back first."

"Yeah." The ninja dog nodded, and its body turned into white smoke and disappeared.

"Dismiss the clones here." Kakashi said, and with a 'bang' he formed a seal and disappeared.

The same goes for the other three.

The next moment after the clone here was released, the people in the other two directions were slightly startled as they received the message from the clone over there.

"There are only two directions left..." Kakashi looked forward and narrowed his eyes.

Ye Yi opened his Byakugan and searched for clues as much as possible, but found nothing along the way.

After walking for a distance, Asuma landed on a branch. He asked everyone to stop and said without any nonsense, "They are in another direction."

The one here is the real body, and the clone in another direction found some clues, which were discovered by Yoruichi's Byakugan.

Because Yoruichi and Shisui both have the ability to sense the enemy with their eyes, they need to continue tracking, and Kakashi is the captain, so Asuma over there disbanded his clone and passed the message to the original body.

Shadow clones are very useful. After they are released, memories and experiences will be synchronized back to the original body, and can even be used for cultivation. However, not everyone can afford this price.

Only ninjas with strong physiques and vitality can withstand such consumption.

"Let's go without further ado!" Although their original bodies had found the wrong direction, their clones had found the same direction. It was just that they were already some distance away from there and needed to speed up.

From here, we can see that if they had time-space ninjutsu, their actions would be more convenient. But unfortunately, among them, no one has learned time-space ninjutsu...

Chapter 20 Enemy Traces

"Do you have any more specific information? Is it someone from that ninja village?" Kakashi looked at Asuma and asked while walking.

Right now, only Asma knows some inside information, so they can find out more about it before rushing over.

Asuma shook his head: "It was Yoruichi's Byakugan who found some traces they left behind, probably a day ago. They dealt with it this time, and Yoruichi didn't find much useful information. The clones are still chasing them."

Just as Kakashi was about to say something else, his expression changed slightly: "Damn it, we encountered an ambush!"

Seeing Kakashi's expression at this moment, as if he realized something, Asuma said solemnly: "What happened?"

Yoruichi and Shisui were also confused. They did not receive any memories from their shadow clones, which meant that their clones had not yet been removed.

Kakashi said in a deep voice: "The clone encountered an ambush, it was an explosive trap. Although Yoruichi warned me in advance, I was too close and was affected. The clone was detonated!"

In the memories transmitted by his clone, although Yoruichi's Byakugan discovered the detonating talisman laid by the other party one step ahead, he was affected because of the close distance, and the clone was detonated!

"Damn it! What happened?" Asuma cursed inwardly.

"Hurry up, we have to get there as soon as possible!" Kakashi looked very unhappy.

Shisui and Yoruichi looked at each other, then sped up a bit and headed towards that place!

……

And in another direction, on the clone's side.

As the detonating tag exploded, Kakashi was affected by it because he was close to it, and his clone was released with a 'bang'.

Kakashi's ninja dog was also injured by the explosion of the detonating talisman and disappeared into white smoke...

Ye Yi was the first to discover it. The next moment after the detonating tag exploded, he subconsciously used the Kaitian technique to bounce back the aftermath of the explosion.

But at the critical moment, a dark green flame suddenly burned on Shisui's body, and a phantom like a skeleton arm suddenly appeared. Then the dark green skeleton frame protected his body firmly inside, and he also withstood the attack of the detonating talisman!

In the Byakugan vision, Yoruichi saw the changes in Shisui's body, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to himself "As expected", then flashed in front of Shisui: "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." The changes in Shisui's body suddenly disappeared, but a tear of blood flowed from his right eye.

"I'm glad you're okay." Yoruichi glanced at Shisui and said nothing. He just looked at an area in front of him and said calmly, "Let's continue the pursuit. They've set a trap here. They should be not far away. We have to hurry. Kakashi's ninja dog is gone. The rest is up to us!"

Shisui was stunned for a moment: "Senior Yoruichi, you..."

Shisui is younger than Yoruichi and the others, and is a student in the same class as Yoruichi and the others, so when addressing the graduates of Yoruichi and the others, he calls them seniors.

Yoruichi seemed to have guessed what Shisui meant, and just waved his hand and said, "Everyone has their own secrets. You don't have to explain anything to me. Everyone has secrets. As long as they don't harm the village, it's fine."

Yoruichi patted Shisui's shoulder and continued forward in a flash.

"Really? This kind of power is not evil. As long as it is used to protect the village, it is a power that can be used!" Shisui muttered to himself, and couldn't help but think of the time when he obtained this power.

At that time, after he opened his eyes, he looked like a demon, with evil and cold chakra fluctuations emanating from his body. He could easily kill the enemies who surrounded him with just a slight raise of his hand.

The enemy's ninjutsu couldn't even break the skeleton shadow on his body!

It was precisely because of his strength that he was called a monster by his enemies at that time!

Evil monster!

Even though some time had passed, he was still shaken at the thought of the enemies' expressions of fear and panic, as if they had seen a real monster!

He didn't know whether this kind of power should not exist. Was his evil eyes really allowed to exist?

He was a little confused...

So, from then on, he subconsciously rejected his own eyes and never used that power again!

Until just now, facing the explosion of the detonating tags sweeping over, he subconsciously activated his own Mangekyō Sharingan and used Susanoo to withstand the aftermath of the explosion!

Prevented his clone from being defeated.

However, because time was too tight, his subconscious actions also exposed his hidden power!

I thought I would see my companions looking at him in fear, as if he were a monster, but I didn't expect that Yoruichi would actually say those words...

"There is no evil power. As long as it can be used to protect the village, then... it is the right power!" Shisui's eyes became firm, and his figure flashed and caught up with Yoruichi!

The two left clues along the way and moved in one direction.

Maybe it was because the distance was getting closer, even without the ninja dog, Yoruichi was able to catch some clues and followed these traces to a place.

They were in a dense forest. Not far to the right was a huge lake. The rising mist blurred the surrounding vision.

However, none of these escaped Ye Yi's eyes. Near the huge lake, Ye Yi saw several figures!

Ye Yi narrowed his eyes and waved his hand, "Stop first."

Shisui stopped and looked at Yoruichi, "Senior, what did you find?"

Yoruichi's field of vision can be extended, and with the perception of observation Haki, the range is larger than Shisui's perception. He pointed in a direction and said, "Found it, it's just ahead!"

"Can you tell who it is?" Shisui asked hurriedly.

Yoruichi shook his head: "The distance is too far. Although I can sense their chakra fluctuations, I can't see who they are. I need to get closer."

The two looked at each other, slightly suppressed their breath, and approached carefully.

As they got closer, Shisui's strong sense also discovered the people over there. He frowned slightly and whispered, "Strong chakra fluctuations, at least at the Jonin level!"

However, due to the long distance, he could only sense it roughly.

"There are six people, three of them have chakra fluctuations at the Jonin level..." Yoruichi has the Haki of Observation, and his perception is stronger than Shisui who has the Mangekyō.

Although I haven't seen the appearance of those people clearly yet, but through the feedback from the chakra fluctuations, I can see that the chakra fluctuations of three of them are at the jonin level!

"Do you want to take action, senior?" Shisui looked at Yoruichi. Yoruichi's words just now had a great impact on his heart, making him vaguely want to put Yoruichi first.

"Wait a minute, there are only two of us. We are not at an advantage in numbers. Let's wait for the main body to come over." Ye Yi waved his hand and said.

The opponent is not weak. If there are only two of them, unless their real bodies are here, their chances of winning the fight are not very high.

The shadow clone's chakra is limited, so it can't fight for too long...

As mentioned before, Yoruichi's physical talents are very poor, and the amount of chakra has always been his weakness. In addition, he just performed a Kaiten, and now he can only barely keep his shadow clone from disintegrating.

Although Shisui is younger than Yoruichi, he has good talents in all aspects. Even though he just activated Susanoo for a short time, his chakra is still full...

Chapter 21 Loquat Juzang

After thinking about it, Yoruichi suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Shisui and said, "Shisui, can you cast a shadow clone with your current chakra level?"

Shisui was startled for a moment, then nodded and said, "Although there are not many left, you can still use it once."

Ye Yi showed a meaningful smile: "I have a way that may inform the main body..."

"Hmm?" Shisui asked puzzledly.

After hearing what Yoruichi said, Shisui's eyes widened, "Is it possible?"

"Let's give it a try." Ye Yi smiled, but he couldn't guarantee that it would work.

"Yeah." Shisui did not hesitate and formed a seal to cast a shadow clone. With a 'bang', a clone appeared beside him.

"Unlock!" Shisui formed seals with his hands and released the clone.

That’s right, this was Ye Yi’s sudden idea!

Since the memory will be transferred to the original body after the clone is released, then...can the clone technique be used as a means of communication?

Ye Yi was not sure, if the clone used the clone technique and then canceled it, could the memory of this clone be transmitted back to the original body...

Yoruichi hasn't tried it herself, but it should be possible. Now it depends on Shisui's real body.

At the same time, Shisui, who was on his way quickly, suddenly stopped, because some memories suddenly appeared in his mind...

He looked at Ye Yi with a strange expression: "Senior, it's successful!"

"What?" Yoruichi was confused, he didn't understand what Shisui meant.

His clone had not been dissolved, so he was not aware of what the clone had said to Shisui before. Now he looked at Shisui with some confusion.

Shisui then explained.

"Can it be like this?" Kakashi and Asuma both looked at Yoruichi with strange expressions. They had never thought that the Shadow Clone Technique could be used in this way...

"Uh, don't look at me like that, it was my clone who did it!" Ye Yi was also speechless. He didn't expect that his clone would think of using this method to inform them of the situation.

"That's you too..." Asuma muttered.

"Now that we have found the clue, let's rush over there as soon as possible. There are only Yoruichi and Shisui's clones over there. It's right not to act rashly!" Kakashi said, quickening his pace.

Although they were some distance away from that place, if they traveled at full speed, they would not be far away.

After walking for a while, not far from the lake, another accident happened...

"Be careful, it's another trap!" This time, Yoruichi, who has the Byakugan, walked in the front. His Byakugan and Observation Haki were both activated. He tried his best to sense and be alert to his surroundings, but he still stepped on an explosive trap...

There was nothing unusual about the detonating tag when it was not triggered. Moreover, this trap was camouflaged and attached to a big tree, with the same texture as the tree.

Only careful observation can reveal clues, but Yoruichi and the others are on their way quickly and it is impossible for them to be comprehensive, so -

‘Boom! ’

The trap was triggered, and a burning sound was heard from the surrounding trees. Then, an explosion suddenly sounded, and the fire shone on several people!

"Be careful, it's a detonating talisman!"
