Chapter 7: The Hunt
In the exercise ground, the dark part in charge of the herald appeared in front of the gathered Kaminobi Gate in an instant, and even if the bonfires burned around it, only half of the mask hidden under the cloak could illuminate half of it. Looking at the only 12 shinobi in the field, the brows under the mask couldn't help frowning slightly.
There are only 12 shinobi, and more than half of them are young imps, can this task be handed over to them? Damn, if it weren't for the attack of the Nine-Tails 3 years ago, the combat power in the village was greatly reduced, and many experienced shinobi died one after another, and the number of people present now would definitely have doubled, and this kind of task would not have been the turn of these little ghosts.
But no matter what you think in your heart, now you can only hand it over to them to carry out this task, and after repeating the mission orders of the three generations of Hokage, the dark department waved his hand and said: "The above is all the information and mission content that has been mastered, and then you start the hunt for the Nine-Tails in the mode of a 3-person team, if you know, you will disperse!"
With the Shadow General's hand dropping, the 12 Kamibu formed a team of 3 with their familiar partners and began the mission of capturing Naruto. The 12 shinobi chased Naruto in the direction Naruto had fled to the outside of the village, only to be stopped at the ruined wall.
The towering exterior wall of Konoha had broken a hole of more than a meter, and the cracks on the edge of the hole were spreading out and caving outward, apparently formed by a strong impact. Now Konoha's guards with torches have surrounded the place three layers inside and three layers outside, and they are interrogating and searching everyone who wants to approach, and there is no intention of special treatment for these 12 ninjas from the same village who suddenly appeared.
Except for the two guards who stayed in front of the entrance of the cave, the rest of the guards surrounded them, and one of them, who seemed to be the captain, walked out and said, "Stop." The rest of the road is forbidden to go any further. ”
The 12 shinobi looked at each other for a moment, and decided that the eldest shinobi would speak to them as a representative. The ninja walked out and flashed his forehead guard and said, "We are the ninjas of Konoha and are now on a hunting mission, please make it convenient for us to pass through here." ”
The captain didn't sell the face of the shinobi in front of him in the slightest, and replied, "No." If you do carry out the mission, show your permission to leave the village, and then I can let you pass. ”
The representative of the upper ninja couldn't help but have a headache, according to the rules, ninjas do need to have a permit to leave the village when they leave the village, and ninjas are not allowed to go out at will without a permit. Because it is not only inconvenient for ninjas to go out of the village at will, but also the information of the village can be easily leaked, so the reason for the guards to stop them is also very strong. But this mission is a temporary mission, and I haven't even seen each other for three generations, so where is the permission certificate?
"But this mission is an unexpected mission, and there is no time to handle the certificate out of the village, please be accommodating and let us pass." The shinobi tried to explain, hoping that his explanation would make the other party understand the release.
But tonight's vigil was full of members of the Uchiha clan, and they obviously didn't have that much to talk to. The captain of the guard refused, "Then I will send someone to verify with Hokage-sama, and if you tell the truth, I will let you go." ”
What should I do? The people of the Uchiha clan obviously don't plan to let them go, and if they do, they will definitely delay a lot of time here, and then the Nine-Tails pursuit mission is very likely to fail. If you break in, there will be a fight, and fighting between ninjas in the same village is not allowed and is considered a serious crime. It's a real dilemma.
Just as the representative of the Shangnin was in a hurry, a slightly lazy voice came from the rear: "Well, this mission is personally assigned by the Hokage, if it is delayed here, will you be responsible?"
Everyone's eyes turned to the young man with his hands in his arms, his left eye covered by a diagonal forehead guard, and the lower part of his face was completely covered by a mask, and the only right eye that was exposed looked unmotivated. Facing everyone's eyes, the young man shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
The captain of the guard looked at the boy and asked slowly, "What's your name?"
"Kakashi Hachiki. The young man who was being watched by everyone did not panic at all, he still looked lazy, and seemed to be completely unaware of the shadow that quickly hit behind him.
"By the way, my name is Maite Kay!" The rare beast in the green vest and constantly wriggling put his arm on Kakashi's shoulder, and the other hand stretched forward, his thumb erected, and said proudly: "Kakashi's eternal opponent, the azure beast of Konoha, the man sweat who is always full of youth and blood!" The shining teeth were so dazzling even in the dark night that the ninjas couldn't help but retreat.
"Yes, got it...... "The captain of the guard said with a black line on his head, "Then take out your ninja certificate, and you can go out after the record." It's just that tomorrow I'll personally ask Hokage-sama about this mission, and if you're lying, you know the consequences!"
The shinobi leader finally reacted, handed over his proof to the guards for record, and walked out of the cave first, ready to continue the pursuit. When all 12 of the pursuers were out, the ninja complimented, "Well done, Kakashi, I don't know how long we're going to be held back if it's not for you." The other members gave similar compliments to a greater or lesser extent.
"It's not a big deal, the first goal now is to hunt down Naruto, hurry up. Kakashi was not complacent at the praise of his companion and said calmly.
The shinobi who had just stood up looked at the newly 'opened' path in the woods, and analyzed: "From the report of the dark department, I know that the speed of the Nine-Tails is quite fast, and the hole just now does not have the strength to break with a single shot, and the Nine-Tails will definitely be stopped by the guards patrolling around. According to the traces left by the Nine-Tails, it can be judged that it is not able to control its own strength well, although our opponent has both speed and strength, but don't be afraid, the opponent is a beast without wisdom after all, and now the body of the Nine-Tails is probably still in the seal, as long as we find it and surround it, then this mission can be easily completed. ”
"Oh!" the other shinobi replied playfully.
Ah Kai, who danced a mesmerizing dance with one hand on his waist and one hand on the sky, shouted: "Woo wow! My blood is already boiling, my youth is already burning! Sa, everyone, come with me!" And the speech and performance of a certain rare beast undoubtedly poured a basin of cold water on everyone, and wiped out the emotions that had just been mobilized.
When his youth burns out, he's going to die—no one seems to want to tell him that. In addition, youth is not combustible, so don't be misled by rare beasts.
After following Naruto's trail for a few minutes, Kakashi stopped, and the other 11 shinobi also stopped one after another, and the one with whom he had a better relationship stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong, Kakashi?"
Kakashi was silent for a moment and said, "Our pursuit is too slow now, and if this continues, Naruto may leave the border before we catch up, and then we won't be able to simply continue the pursuit."
I propose to divide into 4 squads according to the speed and continue the pursuit, as long as the fastest squad catches up with Naruto, even if it can't capture Naruto, at least it can entangle his steps, and wait for the reinforcements from the back team to arrive, and then you can capture him. This is my idea, I don't know what you think?"
The rest of the upper ninja quickly passed the proposal, and Aoba also agreed: "Originally, I belonged to the perception ninja, speed is my weakness, and the traces left by Naruto are very obvious, so I don't have to worry about losing them at all, and in this state, I will become a drag on the team." If Kakashi's proposal is implemented, the speed of the pursuit will be greatly increased, and the later squads can be better reinforced according to the battle situation, which is a very good suggestion. ”
"Then it's decided, but who will go to the first team?" asked another Kamishinobi, because the 12 people were summoned, and they didn't usually have much contact with each other, but they just roughly knew each other's abilities.
"In terms of speed, I'm not going to lose to anyone!" shouted Kai, who kept flexing his biceps and shiny teeth, ignoring the mood of the others in the room.
"Well, I also recommend myself, and my summoned beast is a ninja dog, which has a certain tracking ability. Kakashi stepped forward as well, recommending himself.
"Then count me in, my speed is definitely not weak. Another shinobi stepped forward and said.
"Then you go first, and we'll follow as soon as we've got the assignment. The rest of the ninjas said to the three of them.
"Understood!" the three of them said together, and began to follow Naruto's trail.
"Time is pressing, everyone reports their abilities, what ninjutsu they are good at, and then start pursuing. The eldest shinobi stood up and said. In this situation, there is still a person who can convince everyone to stand up and command more efficiently, and if they are not familiar with each other, it is generally an older and more experienced person to act as the temporary captain.
"Okay, first I'll come, my name...... ,The specialty is ......"Under the leadership of the upper ninja, the remaining upper ninjin stood up one by one to introduce themselves.
After introducing themselves, the remaining 9 people quickly divided into 3 teams and began to continue the pursuit.
Yamashiro Aoba's speed is the last among everyone, all of them are in the 4th pursuit team, Aoba looked at the same foot beside him and said helplessly: "I am a perceptual ninja, and the speed is the bottom of us, so I am in the 4th team, but you are different, why do you want to stay in the 4th team?"
Lei Tong smiled and said, "We're partners, aren't we?" And if something happens, it's always much better to have a combat ninja, isn't it?"
"Thanks, Like. Aoba felt warm in his heart, and after years of working together, he didn't need too many words between each other, and he accepted the other party's concern with gratitude!
"Hey, what are you muttering? Hurry up and follow, or I'll leave you alone. Another member of the same squad said dissatisfied.
The two glanced at each other and replied together, "Yes, senior." And picked up speed to catch up.

I didn't find the message I wrote in the 'author's words' before, I didn't know where it was swallowed, and this time I had to write what I wanted to say to the back of the chapter, which is not the number of words, and the number of words in each chapter is guaranteed to be more than 3,000.
