Naruto: Information from the Uchiha

Chapter 138 Accident

In the woods, three figures passed quickly.

The puppy that Inuzuka Hana was carrying lay on his shoulders, always keeping a sense of smell and alert to the front.

Soon night had fallen, and the group of people stopped after Hinata Tokuma, who was at the head of the queue, raised his hand.

"Let's rest here tonight. According to the map, if everything goes well, we can get there in five hours if we keep going tomorrow."

Inuzuka Hana nodded and touched the puppy's head on her shoulder: "I have been vigilant for four hours, and Rimaru is a little tired."

Quan on the side opened his backpack and took out the items he had prepared.

Tokuma looked at the two of them and said: "The rest time is six hours, and two hours are required for replacement. This means that each of us only has four hours of sleep."

Quan nodded: "Let me take care of the first two hours. You and Hua have been conducting reconnaissance before and rest first."

Tokuma nodded: "Izumi will be on duty for two hours first, then I will be on guard in the middle, and Hana will be on guard for the last two hours."

As the only male in the team, he naturally took the middle point where he was most exhausted. After all, not everyone can fall asleep, and those assigned to the middle point would definitely not have four hours of rest time.

At this time Inuzuka Hana said: "Based on Tokuma's assumption, our real assessment will begin a few hours after setting off from the village, but until now Yunya has not started to move."

"So at night, is it safe for the first few hours?"

Tokuma scratched his head: "I'm not sure about this, but if it's just to obtain a certificate of qualification, then this assessment will be too simple for us with Byakugan and Toshimaru."

Quan on the side nodded at this time: "Brother's assessment should not be simple, but if the assessment is not directly based on combat, then there must be something unusual in this mission."

Inuzuka Hana thought for a while and then suggested: "There is a high probability that there will be no problems in the first one or two hours of night rest. Then Rimaru will be on guard for the first half hour, and the six hours will be divided into four parts. Our status tomorrow

It will be better too.”

After the words fell, both Tokuma and Izumi looked at Toshimaru, who had already landed and was eating to replenish his strength.

Hana smiled: "Don't underestimate Rimaru. Judging from its sense of smell, although the detection distance for detecting anomalies is not as good as Tokuma with his white eyes fully open, it is definitely better than me and Izumi."

In fact, the Inuzuka family's sense of smell is not much worse than that of dogs, and the purpose of saying this is to comfort Izumi who has not yet opened his Sharingan.

Immediately, the three people quickly agreed to the plan.

Therefore, without lighting a fire, the three of them quickly rested in the insect repellent circle after replenishing their physical strength.

On the side, Rimaru received orders and was always alert to the movements around him.

…

An hour and a half later.

Rimaru licked Izumi awake, and then Rimaru began to rest.

Quan rubbed his eyes and let go of his senses, always alert to the surrounding environment.

"Shua..."

Half an hour later, there was a slight noise in the woods in the distance.

Izumi suddenly looked in that direction, his chakra perception was quickly concealed and retracted, and he reached out and touched Hinata Tokuma next to him.

Just for a moment, Hinata Tokuma's eyes suddenly opened. He did not make a sound but looked around vigilantly. When he found that there were no enemies, he looked at Izumi in confusion.

"Is it time?"

Quan shook his head slightly and whispered: "Look at that direction with your white eyes. Someone just passed by there, but maybe the other party's perception direction is different, so they didn't find us."

Tokuma didn't hesitate. Green energy suddenly burst out around his eyes. The power of his white eyes allowed him to see the three people galloping away in the distance through the layers of trees.

It's a ninja!

Wait, this forehead protector...

It's Kumogakure!

For a moment, Tokuma withdrew his gaze and directly slapped the flowers beside him awake.

"Izumi woke me up just now when he noticed the movement over there. After looking at it with his Byakugan, I found that they were wearing Kumogakure's forehead protectors."

Hidden in the clouds?

These two words directly swept away Hana's sleepiness. You must know that the war between Konoha and Kumogakure only ended more than a year ago.

Could it be that at this time, the other party has recovered its losses in the war and wants to take revenge?

etc!

Hana looked at Tokuma and asked: "Could it... be Yun?"

Tokuma shook his head: "I don't know, because the other party just passed by here. Like Izumi just said, it is very likely that the other party's perception was not placed in this direction, so it passed by us without noticing it."

Quan nodded: "Depending on the situation, the other party's target is not us, they are just passing by. However... it cannot be ruled out that my brother can do it."

Scratching her head, Hua helplessly said: "Looking at it this way, we can only follow it and take a look."

Quan was stunned: "Do you want to do it directly? We are just genin. What Tokuma can see seems to be a three-person team..."

The words were not finished, but both Tokuma and Hana knew what Izumi meant.

A three-person team sent by Yunyin, and it was a three-person team that went deep into the Kingdom of Fire.

No matter how you look at it, such a team cannot be a weak team. As long as there is one jounin among the three people, they will not be able to match it.

but……

"We are just genin. We have no information on the recent actions of the village and Kumogakure."

Hua frowned as she spoke, looked at Tokuma and asked, "Do you have any news? For example, Kumogakure sent an envoy to pay compensation or something."

Tokuma shook his head: "You know, I'm just an ordinary Hinata from a separate family. Although Hizashi-sama appreciates me very much, he won't discuss Kumogakure's issues with me, a newly graduated genin, right?"

Quan on the side also understood at this time, so he said: "Then do we need to follow up to find out the other party's purpose? But... the other party is completely opposite to the destination of our mission. In this case..."

Tokuma shook his head slightly: "The assessment mission is no longer important. If the three-person team just now was arranged by Yun Yin's shadow clone using the transformation technique, then if we follow him, it will be one of the assessment missions."

"And if it wasn't Yun's arrangement, then Kumogakure's three-person team is still on the road after entering the Fire Country at such a late hour. There is a very high possibility of a conspiracy."

"There is no comparison between the assessment tasks and Yunyin's threat to the village."

As he spoke, Tokuma looked at Xiangquan and asked, "Do you have a way to contact the village?"

Quan shook his head slightly: "No, I don't like Ninja, nor do I like brother Shisui's crow. However, I can contact Itachi."

Itachi?!

This name made Tokuma stunned. Itachi, who was also a classmate in the first batch and graduated early in just one year, did not have the same reputation as Yun.

But in the war with Kumogakure, there were also some Itachis with those eyes, who lived up to their reputation as geniuses.

"Send the location information of Kumogakure's three-man team to Itachi, and let Itachi try to pass the information to the village. And we... will follow."

Inuzuka Hana looked solemnly: "Isn't it... a bit risky?"

Tokuma shook his head slightly: "Just hang from a distance. My white eyes can see the shape of their mouths. We need to know their purpose."

At this moment, Quan patted the ground with his hand. After a burst of smoke, a little kitten appeared on the ground.

When the cat appeared, he was stunned for a moment. When he saw Quan's forehead protector, he asked, "Have you become a ninja, Quan? Is he on a mission?"

Quan handed over the scroll he had just written: "Please give this scroll to Itachi. This is very important information. Please do it as quickly as possible."

The ninja cat looked at the scroll in front of him but did not take it. Instead, he looked at Xiang Quan and said, "I can't help you with this task. Last time... we were given a good warning by your brother Uchiha Yun.

I'm afraid of being beaten."

Quan was a little embarrassed, and leaned over and whispered: "It was before, but now there is really something serious. This information is very important, related to the safety of Konoha, my brother will never blame you in the future."

The Ninja cat raised his head in confusion: "Really?"

Quan clasped his hands together: "It's absolutely true, please!"

Hesitantly, the ninja cat took the scroll, and then a puff of smoke appeared and disappeared.

"call……"

After exhaling, Izumi looked at his teammates and said, "The location of the psychic is not in Konoha, otherwise we can let him find his brother."

Tokuma smiled: "As long as there is a channel to pass the news back, let's go, we have to follow."

After the words fell, the three of them headed in the opposite direction to their original goal, which was also the road back to the village.

…

Tokuma, with green energy exploding around his eyes, was always confirming the location of the target in front of him, while Inuzuka Hana and Uchiha Izumi behind him were also ready for battle at any time.

Until Tokuma raised his hand, the three of them quickly stopped.

Tokuma whispered to Quan: "They stopped and were talking. I pronounce it, you record it, and Hua Jingjing."

Quan nodded and quickly took out a pen and paper from his backpack.

Inuzuka Hana on the side patted Toshimaru's head and looked around cautiously.

Then, Tokuma opened his mouth and imitated the mouth shape of Kumo Gakure in his sight.

"This kind of... intelligence... discovered by accident more than thirty years ago."

"The whole of Konoha...can be...destroyed."

"Once... destroyed... this will... help a lot."

"Lord Raikage's revenge...revenge..."

"Covert operations...cannot...be detected."

"The Raikage...has no...ability...anymore..."

"An hour later...recovery...departure!"

…

Closing his eyes, Tokuma's gaze was full of solemnity.

The other party's conversation had already confirmed Kumogakure's conspiracy against Konoha, but the specifics were not clear.

How is it possible to have the power to destroy the entire Konoha?

"Buzz..."

A slight tinnitus sounded in Tokuma's ears, and the figures in the forest in the distance also appeared in the sight of Izumi and Inuzuka Hana.

…

Izumi Uchiha's perspective.

While she was recording, a figure suddenly rang in her ears.

"Three little mice from Konoha, are they just genin? They can actually reach such a distance. The Hyuga family's Byakugan is indeed a good means of detection."

After the words fell, Inuzuka Hana's cry rang out: "Disperse!"

Lightning suddenly appeared, and a bolt of lightning struck where the three of them were just now.

The lightning fell at such a speed that even if he dodged it, Quan was paralyzed for a moment and rolled to the ground.

The moment he recovered, Quan quickly formed a seal with his hands: the fire escape technique of fireball.

The flames surged towards the position of the man just now, causing him to dodge at a loss of speed, thus resolving Tokuma and Hana's predicament.

The lightning attack just now was obviously aimed at Tokuma, which also paralyzed him and Hua for a moment longer.

"Given the thunder attribute chakra, the opponent is Kumogakure's Jonin!"

As soon as Tokuma finished speaking, a bolt of thunder suddenly shot out from the opponent's sword.

Sure enough, this was a jounin from Kumogakure Village. He could impart chakra to the long sword. The opponent obviously had the power to destroy the three people on his side.

"Aren't the Hinata brats very knowledgeable?"

As the other party spoke, he looked towards the fountain that had just spewed out the Fire Escape. The clan emblem on his clothes made his eyes light up.

"Young girl from the Uchiha clan? Where is your Sharingan?"

Uchiha Izumi stared at each other closely, holding a kunai across his chest: "Kumogakure ninjas, what is your purpose of sneaking into the Land of Fire? Aren't you afraid of triggering another war?"

As he spoke, Izumi moved his other hand slightly, gesturing towards Inuzuka Hana behind him.

Facing such combat power, they had no chance of winning and could only seek support.

In the Land of Fire, it is not far from the village. In this case, there is only one person who can break through, and that is Inuzuka Hana's Toimaru.

Before the other two Kumogakure arrived, the visual blind spot allowed Toshimaru to break through, and then they could only delay as much time as possible.

In Izumi's peripheral vision, Toshimaru, who had been at Inuzuka Hana's feet just now, had disappeared, and Hana nodded slightly towards her.

This goal was achieved, and Quan felt relieved.

The Kumogakure jounin in front smiled and said: "War? If it weren't for you, Uchiha Kumo of the Uchiha clan, Kumogakure wouldn't be like what he is today!"

"If you Konoha killed the Fourth Raikage-sama, you will inevitably suffer revenge from Kumogakure."

As he spoke, the other party pointed the long knife in his hand at Uchiha Izumi: "As a clan member of Uchiha Yun who killed the Fourth Raikage-sama, your death will be the best memorial to the Raikage-sama."

"boom!"

The moment the voice fell, the lightning fell instantly, but the smoke dissipated, leaving only a shadow clone.

"Fire Escape, Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!"

Six shurikens wrapped in flames fell from behind Yun Yin, but the opponent's long sword flashing with lightning struck them down with thunder and lightning.

"boom!"

With a white eye, Tokuma suddenly made a sneak attack and tried to block the opponent's chakra meridians, but his palm fell in the air.

"boom!"

And Inuzuka Hana's shuriken detonating talisman also failed at this moment.

Without Toshimaru, Inuzuka Hana's power was mostly limited.

"His speed is too fast."

Izumi took Tokuma's words seriously. The opponent's speed just now, even if he used the shadow clone as a bait to sneak behind him and catch him by surprise, it had no effect.

"Swish!"

Two figures appeared in the surroundings, and together with Kumogakure's Jonin, surrounded the three of them.
