"Damn, where the hell did you get people?"

"Shouji, is there no one over there?"

"No, wait...... There's movement! ”

……

In the forest, the three-person team of Konoha who was searching for Naruto suddenly stopped.

Then, several figures jumped down from the branches of the tree and landed on the ground in the sunlight, making a 'snapping' sound.

"It's the ...... of the Uchiha family"

In the middle of Konoha, someone whispered.

For the 'allies', their eyes are very wary.

Compared to them, the Uchiha who were scanning around with their scarlet eyes open were obviously much more relaxed.

After making sure there were no signs in the vicinity, they nodded to Konoha and turned to leave.

"It's scary, that momentum, and those eyes."

"Is this the Uchiha? I've heard that it's a crazy family, but it looks very different. ”

"What they were wearing just now, is it the new ninja forehead guard? Their coat of arms? ”

……

After the Uchiha's people left, the people on the Konoha side couldn't help but talk in a whisper.

Among them, they are more concerned about the fact that the Uchiha has his own ninja logo.

In addition to this, in various places around Konoha, there are also Konoha ninjas who meet the Uchiha clan from time to time, and they all have different levels of feelings about the current Uchiha clan.

Or someone is surprised by the Uchiha's logo,

Some people were surprised that the uniform costume of the Uchiha ninja,

There are also people who are puzzled by the discipline of the various squads of the Uchiha.

And this feeling also prompts their cognition to change.

The ideas of this generation, or these two generations, are deeply influenced by the ninja village system.

Some people are good at probing and perceiving, some are good at healing, some are good at technique, some are good at attacking, and some are good at defense......

Everyone joined hands to form a village, giving full play to their own family's unique strengths, making up for the shortcomings of other families, helping each other to resist foreign enemies and protect their homeland, which is their common understanding.

But now there is a family that gives them a different feeling.

Uchiha.

After leaving the village, the family did not decay due to the lack of numbers, but developed their own culture.

Moreover, he made up for his own shortcomings.

……

……

Whether it was Konoha or Uchiha, they all searched around with Konoha as the center, looking for Naruto's traces.

They met each other occasionally, but they simply nodded their heads, and they did not act or talk together.

used to be a family, but now they are talking two words.

And the ferret, of course, is also among the people who are searching.

Before leaving, he promised his parents that he would try his best to find Naruto.

Although there is no trace of it so far, Artoria has already dragged the puppet Payne, so there is still a chance.

As long as he can find Payne's body, Naruto's life, he will still be saved.

As for that, Payne's body is not nearby.

Itachi thinks it's unlikely.

Or, with his current knowledge, he thinks it's unlikely.

There must be some kind of connection between the puppet and the master.

This connection communicates both sides and passes on the chakra.

Most of the techniques in the ninja world are based on the energy of 'chakra'.

'Wait, some kind of connection! ’

Itachi realized this, "We can try to find the medium of their connection to the body from the bodies of these golems, and then track them down through the chakra." ’

'The medium, perhaps, is not the silk thread of ordinary puppetry, but it definitely is. ’

'Is there anything special about Payne?' ’

Until then, he had only been a spectator of the war.

Although I enjoy the information of Konoha, there is a difference between it and the person concerned going to experience it firsthand.

What can be seen, what can be analyzed, is different.

'Black cloud costume, orange hair, pale face......'

Soon, Artoria passed on what she saw to Itachi through her heart.

They all saw the appearance of Heavenly Dao Payne.

Will the medium of transmission be hidden under the clothing? ’

Artoria came up with an idea.

‘…… It's possible. ’

The pace of the Itachi's search was not slowed down by the exchange, and it was necessary to capture Heavenly Dao Payne first. ’

'Understood. ’

Artoria didn't even hesitate too much, and the moment her heart stopped, the person had disappeared in place very abruptly.

Hugh –

A powerful energy spread from where she had been standing.

"Huh?"

Beside them, Jiraiya and Orochimaru looked blankly, and suddenly jumped up as allies.

"HRE ......"

And Heavenly Dao Payne, who had always been paying attention to Artoria, reacted quickly, and the moment he moved, faint ripples had already appeared around his body.

】

The powerful repulsive force, once again centered on it, spread in all directions.

At the same time, Artoria was near.

Between the two, it's only an arm's length.

"Whew-"

The screeching sound of cutting friction exploded again.

The blade of the sword collides with the repulsion.

The screech, like a fingernail scratching a blackboard, did not make anyone present uncomfortable.

At the same time, Heavenly Dao Payne was still moving.

The Shinra Heavenly Expedition is a humanoid monster that can't stop the tailed beast in front of him.

He clasped his hands together, then slowly parted, and a pitch-black chakra ball appeared in his hand.

"Earthburst Celestial Star."

The voice was no longer flat, with a thick exhaustion and determination, and Payne's spirit was completely tense at this moment, staring at Artoria.

He was afraid that if he didn't pay attention, the figure of the person in front of him would suddenly disappear from view, and then his body would be separated.

With great strength, Artoria should have cut off the repulsion again, but Artoria, who swung her sword forward, slammed on the ground at the moment when she was fully exerted.

Then, her strength plummeted, and her body turned.

Bang –

Having lost the strength to resist, Payne's repulsion was no longer hindered, pressing in all directions.

Artoria's figure, on the other hand, was spinning in mid-air, and the soles of her feet were as if they were standing on an invisible wall.

With repulsion and her own strength, she moved away from Payne's surroundings.

Almost at the moment when Artoria left, a black ball took over the sky.

The invisible suction is centered on the black ball, absorbing everything around it.

Trees, sand, and even ...... Person?

"What's the situation?"

The short fight was only less than a minute, and before Jiraiya and Orochimaru had time to support, the people were already rising into the air under this suction!

"It's ...... Foresee? ”

Nagato looked blankly at Artoria in the distance through Payne's vision.

She had already left the absorption range of the Earthburst Celestial Star, and was watching herself and her technique with her green eyes open.

Nagato couldn't understand the scene in front of him.

Could it be that the Uchiha's intelligence system has completely figured out its own intelligence information?

No.

The consumption of the technique of Earth Explosion Celestial Star is far greater than that of the Divine Celestial Signs and the Vientiane Celestial Command.

The number of times I use it is only a handful.

So far, no one has been able to escape and take the information with them without seeing this technique!

It's her own judgment!

For, Danger Judgment!

'Smash the core!' ’

And in Artoria's heart, almost at the same time, they spoke out together.

"Hum—"

Clenching the sword in her hands with both hands, Artoria unleashed her magic power.

The invisible blade of wind swirled around the shining sword, and the next moment, she swung her sword and slashed it!

A semi-circular arc-shaped wind blade was mixed with powerful magic, with the momentum of cutting everything, piercing the sky and slashing towards the black ball suspended in the sky!
