Kakashi replied, "There are a total of five squads that have received the mission, and each squad is equipped with multiple flares, which can send signals once the target is found, and as long as it lasts for a while, support will arrive." ”

Ebisu has nothing to say.

He felt that Kakashi was overconfident.

In case the enemy is a ninja of the level of the Kime Gong Knife, it is estimated that the entire middle ninja team can be killed within a minute, and when the support arrives, they can only collect the corpses.

After a brief exchange, the four of them did not speak again.

After three and a half hours of running, the five Konoha teams managed to reach the vicinity of Hachiman Town in the central part of the Fire Country, and then dispersed.

With a population of more than 50,000, the town of Hachiman is prosperous in commerce and has a large number of vendors.

Intelligence indicates that there is a newly established black market stronghold somewhere underground in the town, and it is highly likely that the target is operating inside.

Around Hachiman, there are two abandoned temples and a dilapidated village that may have been converted into a black market gold exchange.

Following the plan that had been made, Kakashi's team came to an abandoned ancient temple, hid in the nearby woods, and began to keep an eye on it.

"How long are we going to squat here?"

After a few hours, there was no movement, and Ebisu couldn't help but ask.

Kakashi said expressionlessly, "The Ministry of Intelligence has judged that the target should leave the area around Hachiman Town within two days. ”

"If the target does not appear within two days, the mission will be over, and if the target is found, then cooperate with other teams to surround and pursue."

Two days...... It's hard......

Ebisu shook his body, and his wet and heavy top pressed against his skin, making him feel a pang of discomfort.

Another hour passed, the rain stopped, and the dark clouds dispersed quite a bit.

Just as Kakashi's team was about to change positions, three people walked out of the ancient temple.

"Be careful!"

Kakashi kept gesturing, staring at the three of them, his gaze instantly locked on one of them.

Scar-faced middle-aged man with a short gray cloak, armed with a katana, consistent with intelligence!

But the fact that the other party actually had two companions was completely beyond Kakashi's expectations.

If you put a flare now, it will definitely be exposed, in the end, should you ......

"Who?"

At that moment, one of the three suddenly spoke up and threw two shurikens at the bush where the four Kakashi were standing.

Ginta made a decisive move.

Ding!

Two shurikens in mid-air were shot down with pinpoint accuracy.

At the same time, a large number of kunai were divided into two waves, front and back, and went straight to the three of Scarface.

The expressions of the three people changed drastically, and two of them looked desperate, only the scarface was middle-aged and sealed in advance, and his hands slapped the ground.

Earth Escape: Earth Land Returns!

A large stone slab was raised in front of the three of them, blocking a large amount of kunai.

"Konoha's pursuing troops? Disperse the retreat! ”

The middle-aged man with a scarface let out a low cry and ran in reverse.

The other two also turned around and ran in different directions according to his orders.

Kakashi gritted his teeth, sliced his fingers, used spiritism to summon three dogs, and threw a flare to Ginta and Ebisu,

"Separate pursuits, I'll track the target, and you'll be responsible for dealing with his men."

Ebisu immediately exclaimed, "You're crazy! That may be a master of the upper ninja level, what can you do alone? ”

"There's no time for nonsense now, hurry up!" Kakashi said coldly, "Even if you fight to the death, you have to complete the mission!" ”

"Parker, keep up with the enemy at 1 o'clock ahead...... Siba and Ulusi, go after the other two...... Remember to leave traces and release flares......"

Whew~BOOM!

Kakashi fired a flare and rushed forward without looking back.

With a pinch of black hair on his head and a Konoha forehead guard around his neck, Xihachi shouted, "I'm leaving, hurry up and keep up!" ”

"Damn......" Ebisu said helplessly, "Judging from the performance of the two enemies just now, the strength should not be strong, let's deal with the other party as soon as possible and then go help Kakashi." ”

With that, he prepared to chase Kira in the direction of 10 o'clock.

"Wait!" Ginta shouted to stop the two.

"What's wrong?" Ebisu turned around, only to see that Ginta seemed to have loosened his handprint?

"You go after the people at 3 o'clock, leave it to me here." Yintai gave a simple explanation, and then followed Xiba.

Ebisu didn't have time to ask why, so he had to start an operation with Kira.

……

Kakashi followed behind Parker, jumping up and running across the field.

By this time he had been in pursuit for two minutes.

Due to the wide field of vision ahead, the target's back is clearly visible, and the distance between the two is constantly decreasing.

Kakashi frowned, sensing that something was wrong.

If the other party is a shinobi, he will definitely have a hard time keeping up, or he will be thrown away by the other party directly, and he will not be closing the distance little by little like now.

"Want to kill me? Then he shouldn't have chosen this direction, there is no complicated terrain within a few dozen kilometers ahead, and it is easy for me to drag support to rush ......"

Kakashi's mind raced, and suddenly he thought of something, and his face changed slightly.

He decided to take the risk and try a wave.

Taking out two handfuls of kunai, he accelerated to his target with all his might, and threw them when he got closer.

Woohoo!

The middle-aged man with a scarface heard the sound of breaking wind behind him, and subconsciously dodged, but his movements were a beat slower, and he stabbed.

I got a cut in my shoulder and was forced to stop, BOOM!

Transfiguration is lifted.

Appearing in front of Kakashi was a short, ugly-looking young man.

"Damn, I was deceived!" Kakashi was anxious, and pulled out his white fang dagger to kill.

Ding, ding, ding!

The two instantly fought against each other for three moves.

However, the next moment, blood splattered everywhere, and Kakashi, who was faster with his sword, slashed at the opponent's forearm, almost severing his flesh and bones.

"Ahh

The dwarf youth let out a howl of pain.

Kakashi took advantage of the victory to chase after him, and then made a few quick slashes at close quarters, knocking out the opponent's katana and slicing all the enemy's thigh muscles.

The ground was suddenly crimson.

Seeing the dwarf young man fall, his mood did not improve, and he immediately turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

……

Shahi is a special ninja of the Sand Hidden Village, because of his strong skills and proficiency in short-range perception, he accepted a secret mission from the village's top three years ago and lurked in the territory of the Fire Country.

Half a day ago, the person who was supposed to come to hand over to him as agreed didn't come, and he knew that something was wrong.

Konoha's Yamanaka clan is able to read the memories in their brains, and if his companion is captured alive, a lot of his information may fall into Konoha's hands.

Then, as expected, he was about to leave the black market through a secret passage when he sensed a team of ninjas hiding nearby.

Even such a remote secret location has Konoha people, not to mention the surrounding area of Hachiman Town, which must have formed a siege network.

He could only take the risk of using the transformation technique to change the appearance of one of his subordinates, and then go out to test the strength of that Konoha team.

Stepping out of the ancient temple, the other party did not move, and it was obvious that three people had appeared on the other side so that the other party did not dare to move......

As for whether the Konoha team secretly spread the news, he didn't know, and due to the urgency of time, he could only force the other party to act.

In the first wave of temptation, the exaggerated ninja projection ability on the opposite side directly dispelled his idea of countering the opponent in a short period of time, so he began to implement a backup plan and disperse and escape.

"They did follow separately, and I hope the other two sides can delay a little longer......"

Shahi ran as he sealed with one hand, "There's only one person on my side chasing after me, and the situation is not bad." ”

Dozens of seconds later, familiar with the terrain around Hachiman, he rushed into a bamboo forest, intending to shake off his trackers.

Whew~BOOM!

A cloud of fireworks exploded in the air.

"Flares, trouble!"

Shahi lifted his transformation spell and moved quickly against the edge of the bamboo forest, taking the opportunity to observe the tracker behind him.

"Ninja dogs? My smell was remembered......"

Looking at a man and a dog not far away, Shahi frowned,

"They must be cleared out, and if there is still a Konoha team surrounding, I will definitely have nowhere to escape."

Swish!

He turned and rushed into the bamboo forest, and when he passed a small pool, he tumbled and plunged into the water, then jumped out and dodged behind a rock in a few jumps.
