Chapter 200: The Cunning Seven-Tails
"Toshihiko, we're about to enter the territory of the Land of Thunder after a while, so be careful then."
Standing on a large tree, the Uchiha Kagami whispered slowly to Toshihiko beside him.
According to the information given by the Taki Shinobi Village, after escaping the seal, Nanao headed all the way to the Land of Thunder.
Originally, the Uchiha Mirror was skeptical of this information.
After all, the country of Taki is indeed a bit far away from the country of thunder, will Nanao really run in that direction?
However, the information given by Takishinobu Village gives a good reason.
You must know that the Seven Tails not only have the ability to fly, but also can escape to the ground, and it can be said that its camouflage ability is the strongest among all tailed beasts.
At first, the tracking ninjas in Taki Shinobi Village were also all kinds of headaches.
But then they made a surprising discovery, and that was scale powder.
As the Seven Tails moved, the scales on their bodies would unconsciously spill on the ground, which was beyond its control.
It was also based on this clue that the tracking ninja of the Taki Ninja Village determined that Nanao was moving in the direction of the Land of Thunder.
And this was also confirmed by Toshihiko, according to the route given by the Taki Shinobi Village, the two did find scale powder spilled on the ground on the road.
It was also relying on these scales on the ground that Toshihiko and Uchiha Kagami pursued all the way to a place not far from the border of the Land of Thunder.
"It's not important to be careless, we're afraid we've been deceived."
After closing his eyes, Toshihiko said a little helplessly.
"Scammed? What do you mean? ”
At this moment, it was the turn of the Uchiha Mirror to wonder, isn't the clue of the scale powder on the ground obvious? How can you say that you have been deceived.
"That beast didn't go to the Land of Thunder." Toshihiko said with great certainty.
"Huh?"
At this moment, the Uchiha Mirror became more and more confused, obviously the scales on the ground were so obvious, how could Toshihiko be sure that they had been deceived.
"The scale powder in front is gone." Toshihiko was blunt.
You must know that the Tailed Beast itself is a giant chakra materialized lifeform.
And the scale powder is originally part of the body of the Seven Tails, so it naturally carries some chakra breath that belongs to it.
This is also the reason why Toshihiko will pursue all the way here with the Uchiha Mirror without hesitation.
Because the scales on the ground do belong to the Seven Tails, which cannot be faked.
But after chasing all the way here, Toshihiko finally discovered that something was wrong, because the aura belonging to the Seven Tails was getting weaker and weaker.
So just now, he also observed it with his white eyes, and found that the scales in front of him were very sparse, but not as dense as before.
"Doesn't that mean Nanao is nearby?"
You must know that the scale powder fell because the Seven Tails inadvertently spilled it during the movement, and now that the scale powder is gone, shouldn't it mean that the Seven Tails have stopped moving?
"Senior brother, you are not curious at all, it took us a full five days to arrive at Taki Ninja Village, counting the time we pursued, why the scale powder on the ground is still so dense." Toshihiko asked rhetorically.
"You mean superimposed? The scales on the road before were not left once, but twice. So where the hell did Nanao go? ”
The Uchiha Mirror is not stupid, Toshihiko has already said it so clearly, how could he not react.
But what he really cared about was that Nanao didn't go to the Land of Thunder, so where would he go?
"I'm not sure exactly where it went, but we can try to find out."
Toshihiko is neither a god nor a prophet, and he is not sure where Nanao is hiding.
But judging from the scales on the ground, it must have moved in the opposite direction to the Land of Thunder, so the greatest possibility is the Land of Earth.
If someone still says to Toshihiko that the tailed beasts are a bunch of brainless beasts, and they can't think at all except that they are a little stronger, then Toshihiko will definitely blow his toad head.
Right now, the Seven Tails don't play too slippery tricks.
In fact, the IQ of tailed beasts is not lower than that of humans, and they can think of anything that humans can think of.
The reason why tailed beasts give people the illusion that they don't have a high IQ is simply because their self-esteem is too strong.
It's the type that can do it and never force it.
Problems that can be solved by combat, they don't bother to use their brains.
But the Seven Tails are different, it is the most cautious existence of all the tailed beasts, and if you really want to say it, it is the kind that is more cowardly.
The Seven-Tails knew very well that even if it broke the seal and escaped from that sad place, it would never give up on it with its greedy human nature.
Whenever the opportunity arises, humans will still send a large number of people to capture it.
Maybe the Seven Tails don't take these small humans to heart, but they are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
And even if humans can't beat it, it's annoying to harass it again and again.
So simply, Nanao began to hide, and as long as it was not discovered by humans, it would be considered a success.
But it's a pity that all its plans have been seen through by Toshihiko.
As Toshihiko and Uchiha kept searching in the opposite direction, they really found clues.
This is a route leading to the land of earth, and although the scale powder on the ground is not as dense as on the road to the land of thunder, it can be seen from the breath that the scale powder fell not for a long time.
"Toshihiko, I really admire you more and more, so you can find it."
The Uchiha Mirror is now inexplicably glad that this mission is accompanied by Toshihiko.
If he hadn't discovered these clues in time, the Uchiha Kagami felt that he would really be turned around by the Seven Tails, and it would have been a real shame when the time came.
"It's normal, now that we have a clue, let's continue to chase it and complete the task as soon as possible."
"Good!" The Uchiha Kagami nodded.
Because of the lessons of the past, Toshihiko will deliberately slow down the next journey.
He had to make sure that Nanao would play back again, because along the way, Toshihiko found traces of scale powder in several places.
Therefore, he had to observe carefully and make sure that he would continue with the Uchiha Mirror.
To be honest, sometimes Toshihiko really can't figure it out, in order to avoid the pursuit of humans, Nanaos can be said to do everything, and this chase comes all the way, even Toshihiko is almost stunned sometimes.
But if you look carefully enough, you can still tell the route in many cases.
According to Toshihiko's thoughts, since Nanao already has the intention to deliberately hide himself, why not fly directly into the sea.
You must know that the sea is directly north of Takino Country.
As long as Nanao wants to, it can easily fly to the sea, and then find a small island overseas to hide itself.
Once Nanao really chooses to go to sea, even Toshihiko will probably find it a little difficult.
