According to the information sent back by the snake group, there is a suspected abandoned trail on the left side of the main road.
There are very obvious traces of carriages running over it.
Apart from this, no other discoveries have been made about the snake population.
Of course, the IQ of the snake group, which mainly serves as detectives, is too low.
Even if you add up the IQs of hundreds of snakes, you can't even get a standard Nawaki IQ.
So, you can't ask for more at this time.
It is not easy to deliver such "detailed" information to Uchiha Chen.
Uchiha Chen and Kushina, who kept jumping, spinning and shuttling between the big trees, soon approached their destination.
They carefully surveyed the weeds for a while and then confirmed such a road.
The six roads on the map, plus the two roads just discovered, now have eight roads.
It is indeed difficult for four people to keep track of eight roads.
But you must persevere even when things are difficult, and you must know that the organization is more difficult than you.
Tsunade took two newbies to search such a large forest. As for Orochimaru, one person has to work two jobs.
The leaders above did not complain. How could they, the grassroots staff, have the right to complain?
So they can only tighten their belts.
Uchiha Chen After determining the road, he began to lay out traps.
There were only four of them, so it was impossible for them to keep an eye on these roads all the time.
The so-called simple trap is generally a thin line drawn out of the road surface. If someone accidentally steps on it, the trap will be triggered.
As for what will be triggered, Kunai or Explosive Tag, it depends on everyone's preference.
Although this kind of trap is simple, it can still kill ninjas.
Unlike some Ninjutsus that look very powerful and flashy, but they never hit or kill anyone.
"During this period, we will conduct major surveillance on this route, as well as seven other routes."
"If it's your turn to monitor, if anything goes wrong, remember to inform me immediately. Or we can form a team with you and Mikoto." Uchiha Chen thought for a moment and said.
Although Tsunade can safely hand over Kushina to Uchiha Chen, he cannot let himself go like this.
Kushina If something happened, it would be a group of people with backgrounds, wouldn't he be the one to take the blame in the end?
He doesn't want to inherit the title of Konoha Pot King yet.
"Then can I be in the same team with you?" Kushina asked with a blushing face.
Her red hair is tied back, with a butterfly-shaped hairpin on her forehead, and she looks very cute in a black ninja uniform.
Uchiha Chen touched Kushina's head and said, "There are too many roads. Nawaki and I must work together as a team."
"If Chen and Nawaki can do it, Mikoto and I can do it too."
"It's safer for you and Mikoto to be together. A man who cannot protect women is an incompetent man. Safety is not something that men should pursue."
Uchiha Chen showed a big smile.
Kushina's face became redder and redder, like a tomato.
She only felt dizzy, as if there was nothing to be afraid of.
When the two of them went back, Nawaki had already returned from hunting.
Not bad, he caught a Poliwrath.
Mikoto and Kushina went to cook together. I had the dry pot Poliwrath tonight. It is said to be tender and chewy.
Of course, the above paragraph is excerpted from "Pokémon Cooking Guide: China"
Uchiha Chen picked up the tea made by Mikoto and took a sip.
The tea was still hot and had a very fragrant smell.
Nawaki showed a proud smile, "How about it, this prey I caught is not bad. Thank me for letting you not have to eat dry food at night."
Uchiha Chen smiled and said, "Then I should thank your girlfriend. Thanks to her, she has not appeared in the past nine years, allowing you to concentrate on Ninjutsu and become so good. I hope she will not appear in the next few decades."
"..."
After dinner, a few people just made do with each other in the tent.
Time passed so quickly and peacefully.
Within three days, Orochimaru came over and handed over to Uchiha Chen.
To put it bluntly, they just exchanged information with each other.
Uchiha Chen told Orochimaru about the new road discovered and the time of surveillance.
Orochimaru told Uchiha Chen, and neither he nor Tsunade found any traces.
So even Orochimaru began to suspect that this was all just a scam.
But what is the other party's purpose?
Orochimaru decided that if nothing was found in the last three days, the mission would be declared a failure.
They can return to Konoha in three days.
In this boring atmosphere, it is easy to feel dizzy.
Several of them are still students of the Ninja Academy.
Most students should have returned to school now.
Only a few of them are still surviving in the wilderness in this primeval forest.
When he thought of Minato's confused expression when he returned to school and found that none of them were there, Uchiha Chen couldn't help but laugh.
Today is the last day.
Four people, Uchiha Chen, Mikoto, Kushina and Nawaki, squatted together under a big tree, playing with crickets.
"This mission will be over tomorrow. We can finally go back to Konoha." Nawaki said excitedly.
After his cricket knocked over Uchiha Chen's cricket, he was very happy.
"That letter must be fake. Land of Rain shouldn't have the guts to come." Nawaki transformed into a primary school student Conan and analyzed the current situation.
"Suppose Land of Rain's ninjas come and are discovered, then they will be considered an invasion. They don't dare to do this."
Uchiha Chen smiled and said, "Nawaki, according to statistics, more than 95% of the people who died in fights were the ones who struck first. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because the people who are not dead will say that the dead ones take action first."
Uchiha Chen found another particularly big cricket and rejoined the battle.
"Similarly, if we all die, no one will know that Land of Rain acted first. So your assumption is invalid."
After fighting for a few times, even Kushina, who likes playing this game the most, found it boring.
While several people were waiting to return to Konoha tomorrow, they didn't know that the danger was approaching step by step.
