This can directly lock down a more precise range, and the most important thing is that character identification can become easier for investigation.
It can be said that it saves Shōji and Ogata a lot of effort. As long as the choice of this path is correct, they have a high probability of successfully intercepting the walking witch of Konohagakure before Nonō escapes. However, the Nonō side has no idea at all that there will be in Iwagakure. With such a freak as Shōji, normally, even a powerful Kage Level expert or a ninja with outstanding abilities in perception can at most capture a trace of personal Chakra fluctuations. However, this trace cannot be identified unless it can be identified at a very close distance later.
Generally speaking, it is difficult to discover the identity and location of Nonō, but Senjutsu is different. As long as you practice more and more deeply, you will become very sensitive to the flow of natural breath around you. Once a little bit of unnatural breath is mixed in, the difference will become very obvious!
Jiraiya, Yakushi Kabuto, Naruto in Original Work, all those who have practiced Sage Mode, are very sensitive to these things. Now Although Shōji is still far away from completely absorbing Natural Energy and refining Senjutsu Chakra, the current progress is enough to make Shōji more sensitive to the flowing aura around him than ordinary ninjas.
This is also Nonō's only mistake that is not a mistake at all.
That is to say, it happened that Shōji, who had just recently started to sense and absorb Natural Energy, had such a situation.
This is something that Nonō cannot change. She has been in the hospital for several years and has to come into contact with medical equipment and various drugs on a daily basis. It is natural for her body to be contaminated with some odors. She has been very careful to remove almost all the odors that can be smelled on her body before each action. Nonō cannot even detect the last trace of extremely light smell that remains, so how can she clean it up?
It can only be said that people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations.
But the only good thing is that some of the preparations in the early stage are still useful after all. The misleading sight and the extra time bought. Although Shōji reacted very quickly, when he led Ogata and his party straight to the hospital, the back-up preparations on Nonō's side were also completed.
'Although there are still some problems, we still have to retreat here first! '
Nonō After destroying some items that could not be taken away, taking a final deep look at the house where he had lived for several years, and placing some necessary items in his arms, he also straightened up, disappeared into the shadows behind him, and galloped towards the outside of the village.
As a senior spy, she has already smelled a hint of danger. Although she has not yet received the order from Konoha, Nonō's intuition is telling her that she must retreat at this moment!
Otherwise, it is very likely that you will be trapped in the enemy camp and unable to escape!
"Whoosh!"
And less than two hours after Nonō left his home, Shōji led Ogata and a group of Iwagakure Ninja to the house where Nonō lived.
It can be said that this is at least half a day ahead of Nonō's original estimate of the worst situation. According to the original plan, even in the worst situation, she was 89% sure that she could successfully leave Iwagakure's radiation range. As long as she escaped to the national border, it would be difficult for Iwagakure Ninja to hunt her down.
But now the time has advanced by half a day, and there is less than two hours of escape time.
It can be said that the risk of Nonō being arrested has been greatly increased.
Now the situation has really turned around, and Shōji and Ogata have a huge advantage!
"Huh!?"
This group of Shōji came out of nowhere.
He just broke through the door with force.
"Hundan!"
Chi Guoguo could sense that the building was deserted. Most importantly, with Shōji's perception, he could also clearly detect some documents and items that would be deliberately destroyed without using too many words.
This is already a locked identity.
"Echizen Rinko! I didn't expect this guy to be Konoha spy, Wandering Miko!?"
If before coming to this house, I was only 70 to 80% sure, now that I see the scene in the house, I can already 100% lock in the identity of this medical nurse who has a high status in my own Ninja Village Hospital without any other evidence!
Echizen Rinko is also the disguised name of Yakushi Nonō in Iwagakure. Ogata is no stranger to this name, because it is a name in the hospital. Ogata has a very good reputation and is praised by everyone as a medical nurse with a gentle personality. Although Ogata himself has never been in contact with it, several of his colleagues have been injured and were treated and cared for by 'Echizen Rinko'.
What he never expected was that this guy was actually Konohagakure's senior spy, which made Ogata's expression very ugly at the moment.
"There are still some temperatures, and the walk will take more than an hour to two hours at most. It's not that easy for a mere spy to leave our village!"
Ogata is a professional after all. He only needs to turn around the house to roughly determine the time when the owner of the house will leave.
Moreover, when the opposite party realizes that his identity may have been exposed, he is 100% afraid to choose the main road and must take a detour. However, the Iwa ninja can gather from all directions to encircle and suppress this Konoha spy!
As long as nothing unexpected happens.
It takes five or six hours at most.
We can definitely catch up with this Konoha spy!
"Well, Ogata-san, you should also follow the traces with others first. I will contact Kitsuchi where Jōnin Squad is, and immediately order Iwagakure Ninja at various strongholds and posts to intercept and hunt., I will take a detour from another direction. The opponent may not necessarily retreat from the southeast position, but may also take a detour to Land of Lightning, and you must be careful about the people on the opposite side who are responding. Once you find any trace, Ogata-san, please be sure to send a signal in time!"
Shōji said with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, Mr. Shōji, I understand!"
Ogata also nodded heavily with a serious expression.
How valuable a senior spy is, Ogata knows better than anyone else. If he can be successfully captured, it will not only restore the village's losses, but also obtain more lucrative benefits, such as the list of other spies that Konohagakure has arranged in his village!
This is the intelligence information that Ogata wants to obtain most.
At this moment, Shōji and Ogata did not stay here longer or have any hesitation. After assigning tasks and locking the target position, they separately led some people to carry out the corresponding pursuit tasks!
There are many spy shadows, from the initial blind guess to the mystery behind it, and now to the current target locking. It can be said that the various guarantees and advantages provided by Nonō's carefully arranged back-up parties are being dismantled layer by layer under the pursuit of Shōji. The final pursuit and escape launched by both parties.
Which party can successfully realize its intention depends on the struggle of each other, and it still depends on some providence. Of course, this still involves the decision of another person. This person is the leader of Konoha Root who caused Nonō to sneak into Iwagakure to perform a spy mission—Shimura Danzō!
When Nonō noticed something strange, he sent the corresponding intelligence information and the request for evacuation back to Konoha Root three days ago through special channels.
Although she did not believe in Shimura Danzō, she believed in the value of the information she could provide. At this moment, Nonō still wishfully thought that with the information she provided and its own value, Shimura Danzō would most likely send people to support her. As long as she could successfully rendezvous with the person who responded, Nonō would have enough confidence to return to Konohagakure smoothly.
This is Nonō's plan.
But in fact, it is quite different from the imagination of this walking witch!
Two days ago, Konohagakure, and the day after Nonō passed the corresponding information back to Konohagakure, Shimura Danzō had successfully received the corresponding information., looking at the information reported by Nonō, an extremely strong and cold color appeared in the exposed pupils at that moment, the two elite teams of Root were directly summoned.
"Go, bring back the last bit of information on Nonō, and then kill her. Remember to let Kabuto take action. I will order that guy to join you at the border. Do you understand?"
Danzo, who felt that Nonō was completely useless and wanted to eliminate the last trace of trouble, made a decision that he thought was very wise and wise.
This is the best choice to ensure the highest interests of Konoha.
This is the judgment of Danzo.
"Yes, Master Danzo!"
And the Root elites in the lower positions who are almost all Danzo's marionettes will not disobey Danzo's orders.
They will always follow Danzo's lead!
Two teams, eight Root elites.
Then, under the wave of Danzo's hand.
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh!"
Everyone straightened their bodies and left Root Base at top speed, heading northward towards Land of Earth.
Judging from the speed at which these Root elites are traveling, they can meet up at a location that will not deviate too far from the planned location during the time Nonō plans to retreat, provided that everything goes well.
But if everything goes well, Nonō will definitely not be able to escape and be killed, and this is definitely a situation that Nonō cannot predict.
She had predicted all the possible developments, but she did not expect that Danzo would be so stupid. She did not consider other possibilities at all, she just wanted to execute her with all her heart, and even used Yakushi Kabuto, who was like a parent to her, to kill her!
It can be said that when Danzo made this decision.
Nonō's ending is already doomed.
This is why no matter what choice Nonō makes in Original Work, she can only meet a tragic end. Iwagakure cannot believe her, and Danzo wants to kill her. Therefore, to put it bluntly, in this life Shōji will be the last chance to become Nonō, because unlike that idiot Danzo, Shōji can clearly see the value of Nonō, and most importantly, the potential of Yakushi Kabuto.
There is no need to talk about the former, the latter was verified in the later period of Original Work!
Although there are many issues that need to be considered if you want to conquer Yakushi Nonō, Yakushi Kabuto mother and child, compared with the benefits, these problems and risks are still worth a try, not to mention that at the worst, there are some more restrictions.
The trouble is a little more troublesome.
Shōji still feels that this is something that has more advantages than disadvantages.
'So, Mr. Nonō (note: in Japan, women can also be called "jun") you'd better be caught by me honestly, otherwise, what awaits you will only be a more tragic ending! '
Shōji was traveling on the Southeast Avenue outside his Ninja Village, following the traces that could be detected before, and quickly pursued Nonō towards the location where Nonō might have retreated. Although the range was still slightly wider, but with With the strength and speed of Shōji, plus the assistance of Ogata, and some other Iwagakure Ninjas, the probability of catching Nonō before the border is quite high!
On the other hand, Nonō, who had always felt that she had enough time to escape, soon realized that the situation might have changed dramatically that she had not expected shortly after leaving Iwagakure.
Although it is very unbelievable, judging from some of the blocking backhands he arranged, and most importantly, the control situation of Iwagakure Ninja who acted in the peripheral position of Iwagakure, Nonō still judged that his identity and traces had been completely exposed.
'How could it be so fast!? Or was someone else caught? '
The situation suddenly turned around.
Nonō instantly fell into an extremely disadvantageous situation. She knew very well that with her own strength, as long as she was completely targeted by Iwagakure Ninja's tracking troops, it would be difficult for her to escape alive. After all, Nonō's spies could The power is very strong, but the personal strength is only at the Elite Chūnin level. One Jōnin can put Nonō into trouble, not to mention the pursuit force organized by dozens of elite Iwagakure Ninja behind him.
Of course, if Nonō knew that Shōji, Shinobi World's famous Uchiha genius, had joined the pursuit, his expression would probably be even more exciting.
Different from before.
The current Shōji is recognized as a strong person at the 'Five Kage level'.
No matter how confident Nonō is, he probably doesn't think he can easily survive Shōji's pursuit, but no matter what the final result is, in this process, Nonō will definitely try his best to fight for it!
This is not only for herself, but also for the Kabuto who joins Root, as well as the children in the orphanage. These people are the motivation and belief that Nonō fights for!
'Even for the sake of those children, I must go back! '
Nonō showed a look of determination in his pupils, and readjusted his retreat route, heading towards a more remote direction as much as possible.
Only by avoiding Iwagakure Ninja's large army could she have a higher probability of escaping.
Be careful with this choice.
It is indeed true that Nonō avoided almost all Iwagakure Ninja pursuit and interception troops. Those who had already received the order from Jōnin Squad must strictly check the surrounding areas. None of the Iwagakure Ninja guards at the strongholds found any trace of Nonō, and Nonō completely avoided these strongholds, preferring to take more detours to control risks to the lowest level.
Even Nonō is considering giving up the plan to go south and entering Land of Grass if the situation goes wrong, and instead find a way to withdraw directly eastward and return to Land of Fire from the position of Land of Iron or Land of Waterfalls!
If that doesn't work, go further north and enter the territory of Land of Lightning. Although it is very likely that you will be separated from the responding troops, this is a helpless choice. Nonō still doesn't believe that Iwagakure's pursuit troops dare to go deep into the territory of Land of Lightning.
If this is discovered by Kumogakure's border garrison, it will be a serious diplomatic turmoil in today's situation. This is also Nonō's last alternative route!
"Hundan!"
"You haven't found it there yet?"
"No!"
"Red Sun Is there any information coming from the other side?"
"No!"
Smart changes and the most prudent choices allowed Nonō to have less than two hours of escape time than Iwagakure Ninja's pursuing troops and had to take a detour as far as possible. Ogata, who was following closely behind, could actually wait for. The Iwagakure Ninjas are in ashes. Although they cannot completely get rid of these Iwagakure Ninjas, they obviously do not let them really grab their tails. Once such a distance is maintained, a few more hours or even a whole day will be enough for the Nonōs to pull them to the border position.
By that time, the difficulty of Iwagakure Ninja's pursuit will definitely increase, and there is even a high probability that Konohagakure will receive a supporting force.
It can be said that Nonō is truly the top expert in this aspect.
However, it is a pity that this time Wandering Miko still encountered a cheating freak, that is, Uchiha Shōji who also came from another road. If it was a year ago, or even a few months ago, Shōji would most likely be lost to Nonō.
But now, on the basis that his perception of Natural Energy has gradually become clearer, even if he is still unable to absorb and refine Senjutsu Chakra.
But it has been able to strengthen part of its perception.
This is the smell that was smelled at those scenes before. On the current pursuit route, although Nonō has done a lot of heavy cover-up work, the time is short after all. It is even said that Ogata and others can lock in further information as long as they spend more time, but that will definitely give Nonō time to escape.
But Shōji is different.
This breath can be detected easily, and under the insightful capture blessed by Sharingan, no trace can escape the induction of Shōji.
This is the target position that it is firmly locked on.
"Whoosh!"
A figure that is moving forward quickly.
"Ha! Is it in the front seat?"
Unlike Ogata and others who were still hanging dozens of miles away, after spending two or three hours, Shōji was approaching the rear area less than five miles away from Nonō.
"I really almost made you run away, Sa, let me see if you are the Yakushi Nonō in Original Work!"
Shōji's pupils flashed with a fierce color, and Chakra, which exploded further, also chased towards the front position at extremely high speed. Within this range, with the strength of Shōji, it was already possible to clearly capture the Chakra fluctuations of Nonō!
This makes it clear where to target!
However, compared to Nonō who was still immersed in moving forward, he still didn't know that the crisis was approaching. Nonō, who had already been said before, could be valued by Danzo and join Root. Naturally, his personal strength would not be too great. Poor, but this depends on the reference object. Compared with Shōji, Nonō seems too weak. Shōji can easily lock on Nonō, but she cannot sense the approach of Shōji at all.
She's not that special kind of sensor-type ninja.
At this moment, Nonō, who still felt that he might have become safer, was still thinking about how he should negotiate with Danzo after returning to the village. He also thought that it would be best to report the information to his Third Hokage in advance.
And that's just when I just considered these things.
Suddenly.
Nonō's heart skipped a beat, as if a cold feeling spread throughout his body. The body that subconsciously stopped, the muscles that completely tensed up, and the Kunai he took out during the turn, made a vigilant posture. When he glanced around, he found nothing.
This made Nonō very confused, but as a spy, Nonō's intuition has always been very sensitive. At that moment, she did feel a very dangerous aura spreading.
But nothing was found around it.
This made Nonō frown involuntarily, but she still had no intention of relaxing at all. She had always believed in her intuition, which was one of the important factors that allowed her to save the day from danger in her many years of espionage career.
Just because there is no discovery does not mean there is none!
This is also when Nonō plans to conduct further investigation.
"Hoho? You can actually sense a trace of my aura? Although you don't take it seriously, but you can do this, it is already worthy of praise. I should really say that you are Konoha, the top spy who infiltrated our village, Wandering Miko, no, or should it be more appropriate to call you Yakushi Nonō?"
Suddenly.
Under the shadow of a huge tree trunk on the east side, Shōji stepped out from there. The moment Nonō heard the human voice, his heart tightened. The next moment he turned his eyes in the direction of the sound, and saw Shōji's familiar face.
Nonō's pupils suddenly shrank, and an extremely ugly look appeared on his face.
"Uchiha Shōji!?"
The words I spoke out became dry and difficult at this moment!
