In the stretching forest, a huge black dog was running at high speed. Uchiha Chen was sitting on it, holding a map in his hand to confirm its current location.
The surrounding forest appears deep and huge. The left side is the boundary of Land of Grass, and the darkness on the right is the direction of Konoha.
In fact, before Third Hokage issued the order, Uchiha Chen had already applied to perform the rescue mission.
He didn't know who had hijacked Kushina, but judging from the news from the snakes scattered outside the Konoha forest, the direction the other party was heading was undoubtedly Land of Grass.
Compared to Konoha Hidden Village, Land of Rivers is closer to Land of Grass, which is why he applied to Tsunade to perform the task.
But here comes the problem.
It is impossible for him to have surveillance snakes from Konoha all the way to the border of Land of Fire. Only the periphery of the village has his eyes.
So what we know now is only a direction, but the area here is too large. It is impossible to completely sort out the place without sending a team of reconnaissance ninjas.
But now the battle with Sunagakure is fierce on the battlefield. How can we squeeze out a dozen reconnaissance ninjas to carry out the search operation.
"Ta-ta-ta."
The black Ninja Dog was running fast, making a clanking sound, which seemed particularly abrupt in the empty mountains. The temperature seemed to have dropped by about one degree, and the surroundings were filled with the smell of moisture and greenery.
Is it going to rain?
Uchiha Chen frowned and looked at the thin clouds that seemed to cover the crescent moon. Rain will undoubtedly have a serious impact on Big White's detection capabilities.
"Stop!"
The black dog suddenly stopped, and Uchiha Chen jumped down from above.
"You go back, I can handle the rest myself."
The black dog hesitated to speak, but finally turned into a puff of white smoke and disappeared into the air.
This Ninja Dog was borrowed from Sakumo to travel. Running quickly for a long time consumes a lot of chakra. Considering that there is still a possible battle in the future, it is better to let this "delivery dog" send him here.
As for letting it go, it is because what follows cannot be known to others.
"Hiss, hiss."
After the black dog left, Big White poked his head out, opened his mouth and spit out a sticky Scroll.
"..."
"Hurry up and get it."
It was wrapped around Uchiha Chen's neck, and its golden vertical pupils revealed a dangerous light.
"What, do you dislike my saliva?"
"No... no."
Uchiha Chen showed a forced smile. He suddenly understood why Orochimaru never wiped his saliva. He was forced to come out.
"Solution!"
"Hahaha, sir, I'm finally out."
Shukaku's arrogant voice came from the ground.
"Hey, kid, you rubbed something on me, it's sticky."
"Haha, it's nothing." Uchiha Chen rubbed his hands awkwardly and said, "The smog here is too big, don't mind these details."
Because there is not much chakra, Shukaku is only as big as a Pikachu. Although it is still as arrogant as ever, it looks much cuter.
"Is this Konoha... why is it more desolate than Hidden Sand Village?"
"No, this is just the forest of Land of Fire. I want to ask you to help me find someone."
"Find someone for you?" Shukaku showed a sarcastic smile and said, "It is beyond my ability to help you."
"Don't you want to see Nine-Tails? It's the one I asked you to help me find."
Shukaku looked in disbelief.
"Damn it, that Stinky Fox is also jailbroken?"
"No, it is staying well inside Jinchuriki. I just kept my promise and took you to see it."
Shukaku looked like you were lying. After hesitating for a moment, he still wanted to see Nine-Tails and said, "Tailed Beast can indeed determine the opponent's location through special abilities. Okay, let me find it."
As it spoke, its purple-lined arms penetrated the ground.
"Yeah, the breath is very weak. It's about thirty kilometers east of here."
Shukaku is indeed a new type of radar. Its ability to find Tailed Beast is much higher than that of those reconnaissance ninjas.
"Thanks."
Uchiha Chen grabbed its body like a crab, put it on his shoulder, and then ran towards the east.
"Everyone, please hold on. After passing the front, we will reach Land of Grass. The ninjas of Konoha will not come to hunt us down."
A Middle-aged Ninja reminded the three subordinates next to them. After running at high speed for several hours, they would inevitably relax their vigilance.
But now is not the time to let down our guard.
"Captain, why don't we just go back to Land of Lightning instead of going all the way to Land of Grass?"
A ninja in his twenties couldn't help but ask.
"That man is willing to help us sneak into Konoha, but who knows if he has other purposes. If he leads someone to ambush us on the way to Land of Lightning, then he will make wedding clothes for him." The middle-aged man said solemnly.
"And our village's troops are currently stationed not far from Land of Grass. As long as we get there, we will be safe..."
But before he finished speaking, he suddenly closed his mouth. The other three ninjas looked at each other and silently took out Kunai.
"It seems that before leaving, I have to deal with the little mouse following behind."
Middle-aged Ninja said with a half-smile, murderous intent in his tone, and he looked very confident.
Then he filled the Shuriken in his hand with Lightning Release Chakra and threw it away the moment he turned around. At the same time, he said Hand Seals with both hands, "Lightning Release Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique."
Lightning Release Chakra is inherently explosive, so no matter how thick the tree is, it cannot stop the overwhelming Lightning Release chakra Shuriken Shadow Clone.
Knowing that he could no longer hide, Uchiha Chen quickly jumped down from the tree and just escaped the attack.
"There is only one boy." The young ninja sneered and said, "You are really out of your mind. Why would you dare to stop us alone?"
Uchiha Chen sighed inwardly. It seemed that his reputation was only spread among Land of Wind. Suna Ninja would not say such nonsense.
They will tell you: Why? By speed! By strength! Depend on tactics! With explosive output! And the most important thing is to expand based on the opponent! Konoha Lightning, fearlessness creates heroes.
Since the opponent is so fearless, Uchiha Chen immediately becomes his best Genjutsu.
Sharingan is more powerful one-on-one because it requires eye contact, but when there are many enemies on the opposite side, you need to use the group Genjutsu to pull everyone in.
"Genjutsu? Cherry Blossom Fall!"
Four pink cherry blossoms fell from the sky, capturing the four people opposite at the same time, making them fall into a fantasy.
Although the other parties are all Jonin, it still takes a few seconds to unlock Genjutsu from Uchiha Chen.
A few seconds is a blink of an eye for ordinary people, but to a ninja, it makes a world of difference.
——Enough to kill all enemies.
