Blind Uchiha and Platinum Star

Chapter 327 Chapter 325: Shisui’s whereabouts

The Shisui rescue team that had arrived at the border of Wave Country did not accept Yamato's suggestion in the end.

After all, no matter from the perspective of missions or from the side of ninja rules, Anbu Shanxiao is the one who transgresses.

Even this old ANBU might have a sophisticated sense of situations.

But all these worries are just inferences, and there is no decisive factor that makes them abandon their companions who are close at hand.

However, after a short period of repairs, the rescue team's position has changed.

Fugaku's Sharingan was always bright and he walked at the front of the team.

The silent mountain owl sat at the end of the team, mopping up and taking precautions.

Kakashi, who was slightly lacking in physical strength, was currently in the middle of the team.

Kirigakure's formation has changed, making the information in the hands of Yamato no longer useful in details.

In addition to sharing intelligence with Kirigakure's strongholds of medium and large scale and then bypassing them, the rest can only rely on their teams to perform on the spot.

Therefore, Ninja Dog Parker also returned to the team ahead of schedule.

The forehead protector that Ninja Dog Parker wears on his head proves that he is also an 'outstanding graduate' of Konoha Ninja Village.

An injured person's residual smell will be much greater than that of a normal ninja.

"No, that's why I said the smell is very light. Although I feel embarrassed to say this. But if you want to pursue the new side, where will the flavor be broken if you don't keep it intact?"

Facing Kakashi's question, Parker shook his head and said:

It is generally difficult for a ninja dog to keep up with a ninja due to its endurance, not to mention that even though Parker has the most sensitive sense of smell and judgment among the eight ninja dogs of Kakashi.

It is slightly different from the Konoha Inuzuka clan's training method that focuses on cooperative combat between ninja dogs and their owners.

Parker also raised his hind legs and scratched the back of his head as if he was a little sad.

Kakashi was a little stunned.

"The other time it took some time. Fortunately, it didn't rain during this period, otherwise I wouldn't be able to identify it."

Parker's wrinkled little face said confidently: "If there is nothing wrong with my nose, Uchiha Shisui's breath has appeared here twice."

The rescue team stopped for a moment and hid under the shadow of the treetops.

The rescue team reached a deadlock again, but Parker suggested:

But encountering enemies in such a place basically means that the difficulty of the rescue mission increases exponentially.

"Hmm, it's a little strange."

"Don't worry Kakashi, just listen to me first."

"complex?"

But in this way, the team's energy will be depleted in advance, and it will appear slightly incompetent.

But the change of situation at this time forced them to start in advance.

After all, their rescue team was put together.

The other two were on full alert and naturally did not notice the clan leader's deliberate cover-up.

But when Fugaku heard what Shan Xiao said, he shook his head slightly: "As far as I know, Shisui is a typical outstanding ninja among my clan."

"Um?"

Ninja Dog Parker still had that uncle's voice that didn't match his appearance, and said with some confusion: "I seem to smell Shisui's scent."

Therefore, the ninja dog Parker could only rely on his inconspicuous and petite body to crouch in the shadow of the gravel and move forward to search for information.

If Shisui is in a predicament of being chased, then hiding and moving forward can be considered a concealed method.

When you get to a place like this, let alone Parker, you can spot something unusual here even with the naked eye.

Because there are obvious traces of battle here.

The rescue team nodded to each other and did not directly escape the cover of the shadows of the woods.

Kakashi said decisively: "Let's go to the new side."

"What's going on?"

Parker's nose opened and closed, and he kept making slight noises of "sniff, sniff," while not forgetting to say something to this bad-tempered guy.

A red light appeared in his slightly narrowed eyes, as if spinning and twisting for a moment.

The mountain owl was a little confused, but Kakashi didn't think too much.

"However, it is certain that Uchiha Shisui appeared here."

Parker's sense of smell, which is precise enough to detect the number of people and even the speed of movement, is the biggest reliance on tracking Shisui's whereabouts at this moment.

Compared to Uchiha Shisui, the smell left by the seriously injured Anbu codenamed Nekomata was obviously too much.

It can be said that it is not to give up any clues, or it can be said that it is to prevent them from being exposed in advance and falling into the encirclement net.

The ninja dog Parker once again let out a low growl from his throat that sounded like background sound in the middle of the night to alert everyone.

Whether it's sweat or blood, the smell stays far longer than the odor attached to the air and soil.

Why would you focus on Earth Escape, which you don't have any talent for?

Because in his impression, Parker had never used the word "as if" when conducting tracking searches.

Along the way, everyone was extremely vigilant.

This even means that it has the ability to perform tasks 'alone' and does not necessarily have to cooperate with its master.

A low voice came from the mouth of the short ninja dog, but the information brought back was still so confusing.

"Where's the new one?"

Such a suggestion is normal, but Fugaku shook his head: "No, your other ninja dogs don't have such a clear sense of smell, right?"

The rescue team set off again, and this time Parker was guided by the scent and led the way ahead of everyone else.

The dense forests on both sides are perfect places for ambush.

But it seems to be a bit contrary to logic.

The rescue team has already penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Kingdom of Waves. Logically speaking, the time before dawn is the safest time to march.

But along the way, not even a Kirigakure sentry was found, which was strange.

No wonder Parker's dog has such a strange expression on his face.

While Kakashi held his breath and was alert to the sudden attack that might come at any time, Fugaku suddenly tilted his head slightly.

He let out a deep breath and said: "Thank you, Chief Fugaku, just let Parker lead the way. I have other ninja dogs available here."

"Since I have the smell of blood as a guide, I also have psychic beasts available for guidance."

Maybe it's because this guy smells like cat, which people and dogs don't like.

"How strange."

Kakashi paused slightly, but the mountain owl's words awakened the dreamer.

Just assume that Fugaku was scanning the surroundings with his Sharingan as before.

"Yes, but it's also very strange."

Fugaku said nothing, and Kakashi closed his eyes slightly: "This is the only way."

For Parker, these smells were as clear as a beacon in the dense forest.

The mountain owl shook his head slightly and said: "Let's go a little deeper into the country of waves. This place is still some distance away from the place where Nekomata was rescued. If there is really no way, we can only track it in two parts."

"Is there any smell disturbing it?"

Parker nodded and said: "Well, there was a melee here. The number of people was at least ten. It is difficult to clearly identify the direction of other characters' movements."

Fugaku did not put his words to death.

Less than three days means that when Kakashi and his rescue team set off, Shisui came here?

What kind of strange message is this?

Although with the strength of their team, even if they encounter a few small fish and shrimps, they will be killed instantly.

Seeing Parker's expression, Kakashi asked: "Parker, what is going on?"

However, its relatively short stature also limits its performance in terms of running endurance.

Seiichi's absence caused the rescue team to lose the most critical chakra perception ability, and could only rely on Fugaku's Sharingan and Parker's nose to conduct a dual search of sight and smell.

Although it will be quite difficult to move underground, it will not leave too many traceable traces, and it can also avoid the scent pursuit from the ninja dogs as it is now.

"Kakashi, the smell here is very new, it should be less than three days old, but the smell is very weak and does not last."

But after the rescue team arrived at the finish line led by Parker, Parker's wrinkled face had more wrinkles.

"Very new. Very bland and no continuity?"

“It’s very new, but the taste is still the same as before.”

Twice? New and old?

But the fact that he is not a natural possessor of earth escape chakra is enough to completely deny the earth escape chakra.

Kakashi asked: "Will the smell continue this time?"

Mountain Owl looked back at the two people who were unwilling to give up the rescue mission and said: "But this means that we will go deep into the enemy's hinterland, and the number of ambushes may increase significantly."

"Don't worry, you can come and smell it."

He hesitated a little, but continued:

"In this way, we can find the location where Shisui's team was before they separated. You should be able to distinguish the relatively complicated smell path at the same time, right?"

Wherever Parker went, there was nothing but a patch of soil that looked like it had been turned over by battle.

After a while, Parker finally determined the direction of the smell and led everyone to where the smell stayed.

But in this way, the glimmer of hope that was finally obtained was extinguished again.

"He is good at fire escape and illusion, and he also has his own unique insights into the teleportation technique. But he is not a natural possessor of earth escape chakra."

Fortunately, Parker, who went to the unprotected river beach alone, was not ambushed. It seemed to have confirmed that there was no fresh scent around it, and returned to the dense forest where the team was in a few leaps.

Parker found Shisui's whereabouts, which should have been rare good news.

But the words in Parker's mouth made Kakashi frown slightly.

strangeness.

But there is nothing to hesitate about.

Suddenly, Parker's nose twitched slightly.

"Parker, did you find anything?"

He took out a piece of cloth with dark blood stains and handed it to Parker.

If this is the case, it can prove that Shisui is probably still alive.

After saying this, Fugaku bit his finger and formed a seal with his hands.

At Shisui's age, even if he refines all the chakra attributes he already possesses enough to master the changes in its form and properties, it is a huge difficulty.

Not to mention Shisui's person, there are not even the weapons he used or the fragments of his clothes.

In a place like the river beach, there are no shadows to cover the body, and there are no bunkers to dodge.

"Of course, the best way is for us to act separately, which is the most efficient."

As soon as the proposal was made, Fugaku nodded in affirmation: "Let's do it this way. We will mark this place as a meeting point and use signal flares to communicate."

"Yes, but the smell is very complicated."

But why is there no continuation?

Could it be that Shisui also learned to fly the Thunder God?

When Kakashi hesitated, the mountain owl, who had been silent since the proposal was rejected, suddenly turned to look at Fugaku.

"We first find the scent traces of the ANBU we rescued, and then use this to push back to their escape route."

"Although the old smell is a little longer, the smell still carries the smell of dried blood."

"Red means encountering an enemy and requires support, yellow means retreat signal means you have been exposed and retreat first, and green means you have found Shisui. The intersection of the two signals means they are happening at the same time. Is that okay?"

The rescue team's stop and go seemed to make Fugaku a little dissatisfied, and the ambiguous words in the ninja's mouth at this moment made him even more annoyed.

"Is this genius of your Uchiha clan good at earth escape?"

Parker sniffed the blood-stained piece of cloth and nodded: "Of course, it's just that the smell from your scent source has been smelling for a while. I'm not sure whether the smell on the path they passed can be clearly retained."

"

If possible, Kakashi would like to call Parker out after arriving at the place where the captain rescued the seriously injured ANBU.

The rescue team followed his steps again and came to a river.

"The art of channeling."

The faint smoke dispersed, and a strange sound of laziness and spirit sounded faintly in the dense forest.

"Hey? Isn't this Fugaku? What else?"

"Damn it! Why is there a dog!"
