Chapter 46: The Pursuit

Tsunade immediately ordered: "Let Nara Shikaku come to see me!"

"Yes. The shadows departed immediately.

Tsunade and his party also returned to the Hokage's office.

A few minutes later, Shikamaru came to the office: "Dad hasn't come back from the mission, I'll replace him." ”

"......" Tsunade explained what happened.

"Before I came, I heard the Shadow Department say it briefly, and I have already asked the clan to send deer to check!"

"Let the deer check it out?" Naruto was puzzled.

"Our family's deer are all trained and run very fast, which is suitable for long-distance inquiry. "Shikamaru.

"Oh-" Naruto gained insight again.

"Take advantage of this time to organize a team to capture the enemy. "Shikamaru.

"No, the enemy can sneak in quietly, its strength should not be underestimated, we just need to have good information, there is no need to pursue. "Tsunade.

"No, the enemy can sneak in quietly and leave with a corpse silently, which shows that the enemy's stealth ability is very strong, but the combat effectiveness is not strong, because once discovered, TA will not be able to leave safely, so it will be done by someone with strong stealth ability. Shikamaru said confidently.

"Makes sense...... Sakura.

"So there's no problem with tracking it down!" Shikamaru was confident.

"Okay......" Tsunade was also a little helpless.

"Okay, count me in!" Naruto.

"Me too!" Sakura wants to avenge her seniors.

"And me!" Ino also arrived.

"Ino?" Sakura.

"I went to the medical class to report and saw the scene...... I want to avenge my dead predecessors!" Ino said angrily.

"Alas~" Tsunade sighed.

"Don't worry, there won't be a problem. "Jiraiya.

"It's a real headache...... "Tsunade."

At this time, someone from the Nara clan came, "Hokage-sama, according to the information of the deer, Hidan's people have been taken away, and I also see that the enemy is in the dead wood forest. ”

"That is, there are two enemies. "Tsunade.

"Since the enemy is still in the Dead Wood Forest, it means that the people who took the corpse of Jiaodu have not yet arrived, and have not even left the village, so it is enough to send someone to search the village, and then send another pair of people to capture the people in the Dead Wood Forest. "Shikamaru.

"Then do as you say......" Tsunade was also helpless, just hoping that nothing would happen.

"So, let's go and call everyone together!" Shikamaru.

"Hmm!" Naruto, Sakura, and Ino immediately ran out to inform everyone.

"......" Tsunade.

"If you're worried, send Kakashi to oversee it too. "Jiraiya.

(!————)

Konoha Gate.

"So...... Am I going to take you on a mission?" Kakashi looked blankly at the 11 people in front of him.

"If you don't want to go, stay in the village, Kakashi-sensei. "Shikamaru.

Kakashi thought to himself, "I'm actually being looked down upon by my juniors......"

"Cheer up, Kakashi-senpai, this is a great opportunity to re-establish your glorious image!" Yamato.

"Really?" Kakashi.

"Alright, don't be verbose, or the enemy will run away!" Naruto rushed to the front.

"Let's go, everyone!" Tooth rode Akamaru and rushed forward.

"What a headache...... "Kakashi."

"Wait a minute! Kakashi. Kay suddenly appeared.

"Huh?" Kakashi.

"Hokage-sama was afraid that there were too many people for you to manage, so he asked me to help you!" Kai bared his shiny teeth.

"Oh, Mr. Kai!" Lee became excited.

"Yo, Lee, are you ready to burn your youth?" asked Kai passionately.

"I'm ready!" said Lee, passionately.

"If you're not serious, throw it in the stinking gutter......" Kakashi.

(!————)

Outside the Dead Wood Forest.

Naruto and the others were surprised as they looked at the ice-covered forest in front of them.

"Is this really ice?" said Tian Tian approached the frozen trunk of the tree.

"Every day, be careful!" Kakashi said cautiously.

"......" raised his hand every day, trembling and stretched out his hand to the trunk, the closer he got, the more his hand trembled, and then touched the trunk gently, "!" and quickly withdrew his hand.

"Are you alright? "Lee.

"It's fine, it's just that it's too cold. "Every day.

"Ning Ci, take a look at the situation. "Kakashi.

"White Eyes!" Ning Ci immediately used his white eyes to observe the forest, "It's incredible, the entire dead wood forest is frozen!"

"There's such a thing!" Sakura-chan.

"Hey, is it really okay if we're the only one?" Ino was scared.

“…… Or...... Forget it......" Hinata looked at the forest, genuinely scared.

"The bugs are trembling......" Shino senses the abnormality of the parasite in his body.

"Kakashi-senpai, this doesn't seem to be your ordinary chakra. "Yamato.

"Well, looking at the ice, there's a chilling fear......" Kakashi worried.

"No matter how strong the enemy is, it's human, there's nothing to be afraid of!" Naruto approached the forest first.

"Ninji, do you see the enemy?" Shikamaru.

"No, it's a deserted forest. "Ningci.

"It seems that the enemy has already rendezvous, so let's go to the place where the flying section is sealed and see what clues there are......" Shikamaru was as fearless as Naruto.

(!————)

I don't know where.

"Someone went into the dead woods, 14 people in total, as well as a dog and a lot of strange bugs. "Snow is very sensitive.

"Inuzuka and Oil Girl ......" rain.

“…… Sensing the Nine-Tails......" Yuki continued.

"Is that Naruto Uzumaki's group?Senju Tsunade is really confident, he actually only sent these people......" Rain said boredly, "You take the ball first, I'll play with them......"

"No, let me do it, you can't let anyone know your identity yet......" Yuki.

(!————)

In the dead wood forest, everyone came to the place where the flying section was sealed, and there was only a large pit on the ground.

"What a deep pit! How did the enemy bring the flying section up?" Ino looked at the bottom of the pit.

"Flying enemy, is it Deidara?"

"But, aren't all his hands broken, how do you use ninjutsu?"

"It can't be ruled out that there will be someone who is good at medical ninjutsu among the enemy, and he has reconnected his arm. "Yamato.

"Hey, Akamaru asked when he smelled something unfamiliar!" Tooth shouted, and everyone rushed over immediately.

"This is it, the smell is very strong. Fang pointed to the fallen trunk.

"And footprints...... "Ding Ji."

"Looks like the enemy is waiting for his companion here......" Kakashi, "Tooth, track this smell!"

"No problem!"
