Will it continue along the footsteps and bloodstains, or will it take a detour......

The sharp light flashed in Chiba's eyes, he lowered his head slightly, and glanced at the faint footprints on the thick branches, and such a choice flashed in his heart.

Well?

Then, at this glance, a stiff look flashed on his face, and his eyes widened slightly.

A series of memories flashed through his mind like a marquee, quick but as if they were in detail.

Is this the memory of the water body?

And when this marquee-like memory flashed, Chiba's face slowly returned to normal, but his brows furrowed slightly.

Calculate the time, the time of the water body should also be up, and it is normal to have the memory of the water body at this moment.

Moreover, from the last memory of the water body, Chiba did not see any enemies or attacks, that is to say, the water body that walked from the right did not touch the enemy, and it was the natural release of the chakra exhaustion.

At the same time, in the memory of the water body, Chiba did not find any useful news, after the water body separated from them, he went all the way to the southeast to search, except for entering a large grassland and the ruins of a town destroyed by the war in the grassland, he did not encounter anyone, nor did he encounter any bad luck, until the chakra was exhausted, naturally contacted himself, and then nothing happened.

Well......

The grassland and the ruins are a peaceful place.

However, although nothing happened, Chiba still keenly discovered something, and he also had a plan in his heart.

After saving Hirohiko and Yukina, you can go that way, and that ruin should be a good place to heal.

Now that the war has come to an end, the battlefields of the three major ninja villages should have also entered the decisive battle, and the battlefield should be unlikely to be replaced, and after all, this is the rear of Iwakuin, and it is unlikely that the war will spread.

There is no movement in that ruin, and there is not much movement in the future.

And according to the footprints and bloodstains at the scene that Lin said, especially the bloodstains, it is certain that one of the two must have been seriously injured, and even two of them were seriously injured.

At that time, this ruin can be a place to recuperate, and the buildings inside are relatively well preserved, and it is a rather large town, and hospitals and the like should be readily available, which is also ......

Then, after having a plan, Chiba's thoughts diverged, and at the same time, he took out a detailed map of the area, and quickly marked a small arrow and circle on it, and marked the existence of the ruins on the map according to the memory of the water body.

Next, let's go straight.

After doing all this and putting away the detailed map of the area, Chiba also made a decision and went directly to the place where the footprints and blood stains disappeared.

At this moment, he was a hundred meters away from the entrance of this unusually tall primeval forest, if you look at the area of this primeval forest, the distance of this hundred meters is really a little insignificant, if there is a bird's-eye view of this forest, the location of Chiba is estimated to be a small point at the entrance of this forest.

If he really wanted to search in this primeval forest on a large scale, he would definitely not be able to do it alone, and even if he did, by the time he finished searching this primeval forest, then the person who killed his shadow clone would probably have already left this primeval forest.

And according to the memories transmitted by the shadow clone, the direction in which the corner of the clothes left should be the direction in front of him now, and it is also the shortest distance through this forest.

In this way, Chiba also roughly guessed the situation here.

Along the way, the person who killed his shadow clone has always left traces, and the traces are accompanied by bloodstains, coupled with this straight line.

It's obvious.

This man was also in a hurry, in a hurry.

Otherwise, you won't take this kind of straight line, and you will still leave traces, even if the route of the straight line remains the same, if you are not in a hurry, you will not leave traces.

Leaving traces is a taboo for every ninja.

Especially in the midst of the Great War.

Unless it's because of setting a trap to deliberately lure the enemy to leave traces, then there are only three possibilities left, first, in a hurry, there is really no way to cover up, just like Chiba who moved at the limit speed before.

Second, he was injured and had no time to take care of it.

Third, it is dragged down by something, such as carrying the wounded, and there is no way to remove the traces.

And in the current situation, it is unlikely to set a trap, if a trap is set, his shadow clone will not be killed by suffering, but by a trap, after all, if there is a trap, why should he expose himself.

So, it's unlikely to set a trap.

As for the one, two, three, and three possibilities, combined with the traces he left behind, it could only be that he was injured, or that he couldn't move too quickly with people.

And no matter which possibility it is, Chiba's speed is above him, and if his route is always in a straight line, Chiba will catch up with him if he follows the direction in which the footprints disappear.

Even, there is a possibility, although now he is hiding his traces, but only because he saw Chiba's shadow clone and exposed his whereabouts, so he has to do so, and when he stays at a certain distance, he will still not be able to bear the slow movement, so he will continue to move forward desperately again.

Chiba may have traveled for a while, and then he will come across the traces that he has to leave behind.

Therefore, following the direction in which the footprint disappeared at full speed is the one with the greatest success rate.

Of course, this is not to say that Chiba's roundabout route is unreasonable, the roundabout is more secure, and when the opponent is discovered, he can occupy the position as soon as possible, get the first opportunity, and launch a sneak attack.

After all, it's better to appear in a hidden place on the oblique side than directly in the back.

It's just that this roundabout thing will have a lower success rate after all.

So, it's decided......

Thinking of this, Chiba also made up his mind, and then put up two fingers.

But whether it's straight or roundabout, the chakra is still abundant now, so waste some, just waste some!

Always guarantee the maximum success rate!

Both sides should be taken into account......

"Bang!"

After raising his fingers, when the thought turned, a cloud of white mist exploded from behind Chiba, and before it could disperse, a figure rushed out and detoured towards Chiba's right side.

"Bang!"

Then, on Chiba's left hand, another cloud of white mist exploded, and before it dissipated, the figure rushed out and flew towards the left.

Even if it's a straight line all the way now, there's no guarantee that he really only walks in a straight line!

And Chiba, who separated into two clones, took a slight breath, and with a "click" under his feet, cracks suddenly appeared.

"Whew!"

Then, his whole body flew out and turned into a faint figure.

"Bang!"

However, this time, he didn't go far, and when he turned into an extremely faint figure and swept out at a very high speed, the corner of his eye suddenly flashed, and his face suddenly turned to his left side.

Then, as if he had seen the most terrifying scene, he maintained this posture of looking to the left, staring at Chiba, whose eyes were full of horror and distortion, and with extreme speed, he crashed into the thick branch in front of him, which was originally a foothold.

A muffled sound spread far away in this quiet primeval forest!
