In the midst of the rescue teams that had separated, the deep male voice could be heard from Kakashi's side again.

"Alas, that's exactly what happened"

The sigh in Parker's mouth made Kakashi sigh in his heart as well.

"Parker, is the smell disconnected again?"

Parker shook his head and said, "No, it didn't disconnect directly this time, but it did become intermittent again." ”

"It's almost dawn, so it might be dangerous if you continue to search, Kakashi."

Without the cover of night, it would indeed be extremely dangerous to conduct a search in enemy-occupied areas with such fanfare.

"But if the smell itself is already very weak, it will only be more difficult for us to continue if we delay it for a while."

It wasn't Kakashi who said this, but the mountain owl who had always been critical of the rescue mission.

Kakashi was a little surprised, "Mountain Owl Senpai. You."

"I know what you want to ask."

The old dark voice was low, and he explained in a special tone that would not go too far:

"The tasks have been carried out to such a point that if you are still hesitating whether to carry out it, you will only undo all the risks you have made before."

"What's more, it's not just Uchiha Shisui who is in danger, there are also other colleagues in the shadows, and they may all have a glimmer of life."

He didn't turn his gaze, still vigilant around.

"Maybe you've long thought of me as a scumbag who gave up his companions for his own safety, but that's just because I think the chances of success in this rescue are too low to be feasible, and it shouldn't be such a priority."

"That doesn't mean I'm willing to give up my companions who are in danger."

The mountain owl's words paused slightly.

"And I'm actually trying to get to the bottom of it."

Kakashi's brow furrowed slightly.

The truth?

What does that mean.

In the information that the dark part said at the beginning, there was also a delicacy?

The dark part who was rescued by the seniors, the cat, what did she say to the seniors of the mountain owls.

“.”

The mountain owl was slightly silent, a little hesitant.

She said.

But in the end, he still spoke, and told the cat what he had said.

"She had seen the Uchiha Shisui lead the Mist Hidden Ninja to their intended meeting place to encircle and suppress them."

“！！！”

Kakashi's heart shook.

If this is the case, then it makes sense that the predecessors of the mountain owl would have such a huge opinion on the water stop rescue mission before.

But

"Is it possible to reverse the scheme?"

Something like the Transformation Technique, no matter which ninja village it is, is the foundation of the foundation.

Not to mention the illusion that can really make ninjas 'deceive themselves'.

When it comes to ninja fights, it's likely that 'seeing with your own eyes' is just part of your self-deception.

If it's just 'seeing', it's not enough to prove anything.

The old dark mountain owl is also undeniable.

"Of course there is, that's why I'm coming."

"It's just Kakashi."

"The direction we are going in now is one of the speculated directions of the main battle position on the eastern side of the continent."

"What does the predecessor mean"

"I mean, if we don't find the Uchiha Shisui, with your ninja dogs, we can have a chance to figure out where the fog is gathering place, then it's worth it."

"And if we can really observe it, then the 'rescue' mission will have to be abandoned, whether you want it or not."

"Whether he defected or was captured"

"Even in my current understanding, the possibility of Uchiha Shisui being captured is greater than defecting. But the value of such intelligence is already more than the sum of all the shadows that may be captured. ”

If it was only a suspicion before.

At this time, the faint smell path that Parker smelled was basically proof to a certain extent: the Uchiha Shisui entered the interior where the fog belonged.

As the mountain owl said, whether it is a defection or a captive.

As long as the location is the main station in Konoha's speculation, then the 'rescue' must be abandoned.

Because whether it is the combat power of the mountain owl and Kakashi, even if it is to summon Fugaku with signal flares. If you want to attack the foggy position with three people, you are looking for death.

Even if the fourth generation of Hokage came in person, he would not make such a rash operation.

As long as it is still flesh and blood, then a small kunai may take its life.

And most importantly

The intelligence value of the main gathering places in the area is too great.

In the eyes of the mountain owl, this is enough to pay an entire dark squad or even a little more. are all 'worthy' important intelligence nodes.

Because if they can take the opponent's position directly in the shadows at this moment without being discovered.

That is the fact that the defense of the opponent's main position at this time is empty, and it also means that they Konoha may have the opportunity to end the tug-of-war between the fog and Konoha on the mainland.

Ending a war can save lives

It's not something that an Uchiha stops, or other members of the Shadows can get in exchange.

Kakashi frowned and said nothing.

And so it was

This is the way a mature ninja should think.

Everything can be measured.

Compared to the important information that can shake the tide of a battle, even if it is in exchange for the lives of several companions. That's enough too.

Because that is a 'worthy' death.

It's like back then. Kakashi thinks that blowing up the Kamino Bridge will be more important than Rin's life.

That's it. The ninja way of thinking.

The morning light shines in the leaves.

Although there seemed to be a loud noise coming from afar last night, it did not affect the normal life of the villagers.

Who knows if the ninja adults in the village are doing some strange experiments or practices?

Anyway, didn't the alarm go off?

Then it's not a big deal.

Everyone who woke up yawning was like a Konoha breakfast shop unfolding under the bright sky as always, and bursts of white smoke were emitted as always.

As ordinary, but it makes people feel warm at first glance.

Everything last night didn't seem to have any effect on them.

Most. It's just that the uncle and aunt who sell breakfast are a little confused

According to normal times, there is a teenager in a green jumpsuit, who should have come over to buy breakfast, right?

Although it is not known whether he thinks the food in the shop is breakfast or dinner.

But. It's weird.

Why didn't you come today?

Did you eat somewhere else?

Well.

Isn't it better to launch something new?

Similarly, a guy who had fallen asleep in the hospital finally opened his eyes.

It's like the faint smell of food coming from the street through the windows and through the curtains

Just found the target, and forcibly pried open the nose of the young man, whose sense of smell was becoming more and more sensitive unconsciously, and rushed straight into his brain.

"Starved to death"

Seiichi Uchiha never imagined that one day he would say such a thing when he opened his eyes, like a stupid snake in a certain dragon cave that only knew how to eat.

But compared to the vague smell of breakfast coming from the street

The smell of the girl next to her is much more obvious.

It is soft like a lily, and it seems to have a hint of sweetness

It smells good.

But it's weird that Seiichi Uchiha moved first in his head at the moment.

But more like appetite?

Seiichi knew of course that it was the smell of shampoo.

There is such a topic of body odor on women, but anyone who has been on a medium and long-term mission with a female ninja knows that it is a liar.

Even when they stink, they only stink worse than male ninjas

After all, during the mission, there was no chance for them to apply any fragrance, and even cleaning products that smelled too strong could not be used.

The ninja missions that have carried out their lives are not to let them go out on an outing.

If the smell stays in the environment for too long, the enemy will probably smell it and come and ask for their lives.

But. That's how to say it.

The increasingly hungry feedback in the abdomen made Dechengyi inexplicably have the idea of taking a bite of the girl who was sleeping with his arm next to him.

Anyway, Lin shouldn't be angry if she has such a good temper, right?

Just think it is. The reward for making her sleep intimately?

Thinking about it, Seiichi twisted his neck slightly, which was still quite moving, and turned his head to the girl who had clubbed his forehead on his shoulder.

But

"Huh?"

"Hiss"

"Uh-huh???"

That's not right.

Beautiful jade.

Dye your hair?
