"Here."

Kuromaru circled around a place, about thirty meters away from the center of the explosion.

"In addition to the skin tissue, there are also fibers from the upper shinobi vest that have fallen off in this place. He must have stayed here for a while after being attacked, which is why the area left by the smell was so large. ”

Then, Kuromaru squatted down and twitched his nose again to sniff carefully, making a more precise screening.

"The person you are looking for this should have suffered a lot of trauma, but the amount of bleeding is very small."

The implication is that the possibility of Uchiha Yanhuo being alive is slightly greater.

Yi Yong glanced at the ground, then turned his gaze to the row of scorched black tree trunks in front of him.

"If the Uchiha Flames fall here, then these trees will not be burned, but broken by his body......"

This may explain why the fracture surfaces of this row of trees, which are very different from the rest, appear a little rough.

And at the end of this row of trees is the beginning of the muddy riverbed, which has dried up.

"The ninjutsu that washed Choi and Gan away was not used by the enemy, but by the Uchiha Yanhuo in order to expel them from the battlefield. There, he was attacked, breaking a row of trees before collapsing there. ”

In this way, the connection between these elements of the battlefield will not be severed.

After specific analysis, in front of Yiyong, it seems that part of the picture of the night has appeared.

"Indeed, the Uchiha Flame's earth escape level is not bad, and his chakra volume is indeed enough to release such a large-scale earth flow river."

The Uchiha nodded his head.

"If this technique is his handiwork, then according to Choi, the time between the time when the firelight of the Howe fireball was lit up until they were washed away, there was less than ten seconds between it. In other words, less than ten seconds after the battle began, the Uchiha Yanhuo had already concluded that the other party was an enemy he couldn't deal with. ”

Speaking of which, he and Inuzuka Paw exchanged a look with each other.

can make a proud Uchiha Shinobi "give up resistance" within ten seconds, what kind of character it is, they probably already have a number in their hearts.

At this moment, there was another tight inhalation sound from Kuromaru's side.

"Hey, what did you find again, don't hide it and don't tell anyone!"

Inuzuka Paw probe over and urged.

"Here."

Kurumaru's one-eyed glance at her speechlessly, then with a flick of his right paw, an invisible breeze pushed away the ashes around it, revealing a gray-brown stone buried in the earth, and it buried its head again.

"The surface of this stone, with the powder of the ground nails, should have been scratched repeatedly.

"In addition, there is a faint smell of blood, which should come from underneath, and I can only smell it when the ashes have been cleaned up......"

As he spoke, he tried to gouge out the stone with his claws.

"Let me come."

The Uchiha Shisui handed out the ninja knife, and the sharp blade immediately pried into the gap between the stone and the ground, with almost no resistance.

"The stone was originally loose."

He frowned, "It should be something that the Uchiha Flame did to it when he fell here, such as leaving some code or something......"

With a click, the flat stone, which was no bigger than the palm of a hand, rolled out.

Inuzuka Claw crouched down and flipped the stone over, his hoarse voice rising abruptly, "There's blood on it!" ”

Everyone (the dogs) looked intently.

At the bottom of the stone, someone drew an irregular, trembling circle with brown blood. On the inside of the edge of the circle, a dot is also drawn.

To be precise-

Yiyong and Zhishui reacted at the same time, and that point was actually Magatama dragging a faint little tail.

"Paw Senpai."

Shisui immediately looked up and said, "Thanks to you and Kuromaru, we have finally found a complete blood sample of the Uchiha Flame, and I would like you to use this as a reference to search around this area to see if it is possible to find more traces of the Uchiha Flame." ”

"Huh? Could it be that what is written on this stone is a special code for your Uchiha, so I can't be aware of it? ”

Inuzuka Paw's eyes narrowed slightly, but after seeing Shisuizuki's apologetic expression, he waved his hand indifferently.

"Just kidding, little ghost! I'll go. But I need your help in the future, so don't shirk it! ”

"Don't worry."

Stop the water and pull out a trustworthy smile.

"Then remember, I'm not the kind of person who just talks."

After Inuzuka Paw finished speaking, the seal separated into two shadow clones, "Everyone remembers the taste of blood!" Kuromaru and I went to the north-south direction, and the two of you went to search in the east-west direction, with a range of twenty kilometers. If found, disarm the clone immediately. ”

"Good!"

After the three of them did a good job of dividing the labor, they all stuck to the ground with their feet at the same time and jumped quickly in different directions.

For a while, Yiyong couldn't tell who was a human and who was a dog?

"Yanhuo deserves to be the elite who passed the upper ninja exam."

After Inuzuka Paw left, Uchiha Shisui pinched the stone, and a smile appeared on his face as he found a breakthrough, "Even if we can't defeat the other party, we have left an important message to help us determine the identity of the other party." ”

“…… There is only one circle on this side, and a magatama, is it really a code? ”

Yi Yong asked with some uncertainty.

To be honest, the offerings that the Uchiha used to worship the dead were like this.

And from the circle that bends in the song, you can guess that when the Uchiha Yanhuo left this message, most of them couldn't control their fingers well, and whether they were sane or not is still two words.

"Well, at least we know that Magatama is synonymous with writing wheels."

Zhishui knew in his heart that his previous speculation that the attacker had a writing wheel had been confirmed.

"As for this circle, it is possible that it refers to the murderer's face."

"If the circle represents the face, then the person who does it is the Uchiha?"

Yoshiyu suddenly remembered that the day before the news of his disappearance came, Uchiha Shisui said that the illusion he had set up for Yanhuo had been lifted, and his face suddenly darkened.

According to Shisui, except for the master of sealing arts, who is proficient in the change of the nature of the yin attribute (refer to Mizuto's use of the sealing technique to remove Obito's control over the Nine-Tails), and the Uchiha, who has the three magatama and above to write the wheel eye, it is impossible for anyone else to unlock his illusion.

"The suspicion of the clansmen, I ruled it out as soon as the news of their disappearance came."

Zhishui shook his head, "The circle he drew is very large, but this magatama only occupies one side." Except for the possibility that the Uchiha Yanhuo is confused and misdrawn, perhaps telling us that the murderer may be an outsider with only one writing wheel.

"If that's the case, it just explains why the other party didn't leave the body, but took the person away."

Yiyong's brows pressed down slightly, "It's for the eyes?" ”

"Hmm."

Zhishui nodded, "Maybe there is only one writing wheel eye, and it can't meet the needs of the other party anymore." Judging from the fact that there are no traces of other ninjutsu releases here, most of the opponents used physical techniques to knock down the Uchiha flames here, and these broken trees are the embodiment of their power.

"With such a powerful body, it is also possible to be arrogant enough to think that you can use more than one three-hook jade writing wheel eye and withstand that kind of consumption."

“……”

Yoshito threw out the image of the Uchiha's fiery eyes and bloodshot eyes in his mind.

"What about Wen? Why was his body taken away? He's just a hook jade, right? ”

"Or, it was the other party's way of killing Wen that might reveal his identity. This shows that he is most likely someone known to the Konoha ninja. ”

Zhishui paused, but still said his conjecture.

Or, Wen also became an experimental specimen. For some people, all the body tissues of the Blood Inheritance Ninja are rare research materials. ”

[This kind of thing is really common in the ninja world. Even if the Uchiha Flame's survival may be greater, but two days have passed, and what should be done to him should have been done a long time ago......]

[No, this thing is his last words.] 】

In fact, more than half of the results of his reasoning were consistent with the facts. It's just that the reason why the Uchiha Flame made the "Last Words" look like a tribute to the characteristics of the clan, and the meaning of repeating the masked man's self-proclaimed "Uchiha's undead" is in it.

But this point has been overlooked.

"Boom—"

The lead-black clouds condensed into several clumps, tumbling and rubbing against each other, bursts of golden light flickering behind the clouds with thunder, followed by gusts of wind from the distant forest, passing between the two bodies, tearing the ash all over the ground into shallow trails.

"It's time for a change of season."

Stopping the water and reaching out, his thumb wet with falling raindrops.

"Will the rain affect the search of the ninja dogs?"

Yi Yong asked.

"Such a light rain, it shouldn't be for the time being."

"Then let's wait here for a response."

An hour later, Kuromaru and Inuzuka Paw returned at the same time.

"Hey, what are you two doing in the rain?"

It was Kuromaru who asked the question, and he looked a little puzzled.

"They don't have fur, and they're fine if they get wet, so why are you worried?"

Inuzuka paw waved his hand, and then said to Zhishui: "Boy, you should be glad that if it is one day later, everything will be washed away by the rain, and I will not be able to find any traces." ”

"So, Claw-senpai?"

Shisui took a step forward, "Have you found traces of the Uchiha Flames?" ”

The corners of Yiyong's eyebrows rose slightly, staring at Inuzuka's face, and his heart suddenly beat like a drum.

"I found a drop of blood on a leaf 18 kilometers northwest of me, which smelled the same as the blood of the person you were looking for, and had dried up."

"18 km?"

Zhishui was stunned, he didn't expect Inuzuka Paw to really be able to find clues, and it was so far away.

As a general rule, if the captive victim is bleeding, the traces should be found at a very close range, and at a very even distance.

"It's a rare occurrence indeed.

"Generally, when this happens, it means that the other party has preserved the body of the injured person in a special way, and it is impossible to resist it on the shoulder like that. Once the big snake pill put the human body into the snake's stomach and then lifted the psychic, and then the snake psychic came out when he went to the place, which made us anxious.

"The reason for the blood stains is that he may have had the blood of the wounded on his body, and then stayed in that place for a short time."

Inuzuka Paw analyzed, "But when I tried to track it up there, using the other scents left by the other party, I found that he didn't leave a single clue around at all, as if he had disappeared out of thin air."

"I'm afraid he didn't run and move like us, but mostly through means such as Earth Dragon Concealment or even flying, so he couldn't track him by smell.

"But if it's from the ground or the sky, the Hyuga clan in the patrol won't miss him."

Zhishui paused, feeling a little distressed.

"It sounds like this is a guy who can come and go without a trace, just like the four generations of Hokage......"

"It's not impossible to use time and space ninjutsu. But that's far beyond my ability, boy. ”

Inuzuka paw touched Kuromaru's head and combed its fur with sharp nails.

"But if you're on a map, connect it in a straight line with where the second drop of blood was found, and then extend it out. The other party's destination should be in the Land of Rain. ”

[The Land of Rain Again?] 】

Shui Zhi rubbed his chin with his index knuckle.

[Could it be that the other party's purpose is really Itachi's pair of writing wheels? Or is it that his lair happens to be over there. 】

"I'm done. You two, do you want to keep chasing? ”

Inuzuka paw looked at the two of them, "I've heard that the Land of Rain has been in a lot of chaos recently, and it has also disturbed the lives of several small countries around it. ”

Her eyes gradually moved downward, and her position became lower and lower, and she said in a frightened manner: "And Yu Ren is known for his small energy, when he kills a child like you, he will not be soft at all, and he can't even keep the whole corpse." ”

She wrinkled her nose as she stared at Yiyong's face, as if to verify something.

[How is it a bit similar to Tanjiro's usual movements......]

Yi Yong calmly looked at her.

After a few seconds, Inuzuka Paw smiled appreciatively again, "You're really not scared at all, you're bolder than Kuromaru was when he was a child. ”

As she spoke, she regained her position and pointed to Kurumu's blindfolded right eye and missing left ear.

"However, there is a price to be paid for being bold, and sometimes it's okay to be careful."

"Who do you think I got hurt for......"

Kuromaru replied in disgust, and then said impatiently, "Let's go back when the matter is done, I'm about to starve to death." ”

"I have a son about your age, remember to come to our house to play. If a ninja dog is born on the same day, according to the rules of my family, I will give you one. ”

After Inuzuka Paw warmly invited Yoshiyong, he looked at Shisui with a less friendly expression.

"And you, this time because you caused me to interrupt my mission, it will definitely be recorded in my ninja file, and when it's time to repay the favor, don't shirk, otherwise I won't let you go!"

After speaking, she didn't wait for the two of them to answer, straddled Kuromaru's back and disappeared, just as crisp as when she came.

"I always feel like something big will happen next time we meet......

Zhishui scratched his head, "She looks like she hates me, but she likes you very much." ”

"Let's go."

Yiyong watched with gratitude as a man and a dog disappeared into the rain, and turned his head into the plain of the past, "Let's go to the land of rain." If we go full speed at the distance marked on the map, we will be there tomorrow morning. ”

"Okay."

Zhishui was also a little worried about the safety of the ferret.

If the other party really had to rush to the writing wheel and the ability to defeat the Uchiha Flame in ten seconds, then Itachi's situation would not be much better, and I only hope that he can use his wisdom to delay for a while.

Otherwise, he could only hope that the other party would be intimidated by the prestige of the demigod of the ninja world, and not to do anything while Itachi was on a mission in Yuyin Village.

Of course, what he hoped most was that someone in Konoha would send a message to that guy, saying that Uchiha Shisui was looking for the other party outside. He believed that his three-hooked jade writing wheel eye would definitely be more tempting than Itachi's......

"Zhishui, can you give me Wen's shuriken?"

Yi Yong remembered the half-split Haori he once had, representing the two most important people in his life, as well as the two most unforgettable regrets.

"That's my next weapon."
