Chapter 38 Must Beat! Before Shiba Kiyokawa contracted Tama, Hydrangea was a skilled scout in the Akatsuki organization. The flock of birds she summoned had high-altitude vision and a large cruising range. At that time, her reconnaissance efficiency was often equivalent to that of a ninja team of four or five people. This is also the specialty that hydrangea has always been proud of. Only this time, her flock of birds was outnumbered by a ninja cat. Xiaoyu not only discovered the enemy, but also obtained a fairly complete piece of intelligence. "That group of people are hiding on the hillside five kilometers southwest, meow~ There are quite a lot of them, meow~ At least ten or more ninjas, meow~ They have ninjas who are good at earth escape, they hollowed out the hillside and hid their homes underground, meow~" Shiba Kiyokawa nodded. This also explains why the flocks of birds sent by Hydrangea for high-altitude reconnaissance have not yielded any results. Because the enemy chose to dig a hole. Hiding the base underground is really in line with the roots' style.
"Is there any other information?" he asked Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "In the woods nearby, there are an unusually large number of insects. They're really annoying, meow!" "Bugs?" Shiba Kiyokawa repeated, suddenly alert, "The Aburame clan of Konoha?" Unexpectedly, Xiaoyu is also a well-informed cat. She immediately followed Shiba Qinghe's train of thought, "Master, it seems possible now that you put it that way! But I didn't find the ninja who controls the bugs. Either he is not within my perception range, or this Aburame is very powerful, meow!" Shiba Qinghe nodded, his expression slightly solemn. After these days of running-in, he has a very good understanding of his cat's abilities. Xiaoyu's perception range is not small at all. To be honest, the possibility that the Aburame who controls the insects is not within the perception range is a little small. What's more, you shouldn't have such a fluke mentality when making decisions. "So to summarize the current intelligence, the enemy is a team of more than ten people, and there is at least one outstanding Aburame clan jonin." Shiba Kiyokawa judged. At this moment, his attitude has been expressed very clearly: he directly defines this group of people as enemies! None of the players present objected. Ya Yu asked directly: "Captain, what should we do?" Shiba Qinghe tapped the table lightly, thought for a moment, and arranged: "The enemy's number and strength cannot be underestimated. Don't rush to act. Keep surveillance first and monitor the main roads up and down the mountain at all times to see if the enemy has other support or reinforcements. Hydrangea, don't waste your role. Let your flock of birds continue to patrol the entire forest, but remember not to land in the forest at any time to avoid being discovered by insects!" Seeing that her role had not been completely replaced, Hydrangea nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, I promise to complete the task!" For the next few days, Shiba Kiyokawa closely monitored the movements of Aburame Ryoma's team. During this period, the reply from Salamander Hanzo also arrived. In the letter, Hanzo first synchronized information with Akatsuki, saying that no one in Konoha informed him of the entry, but the content of the reply afterwards was more interesting. Masuda Ikki in the team scratched his head stupidly and asked in confusion: "What does that demigod-sama mean? On the one hand, he praised us for doing a good job and not bringing down his reputation, and on the other hand, he said that Konoha is powerful and that the three ninjas and Namikaze Minato are not easy to mess with. Does he want us to fight or not fight?" Shiba Qinghe chuckled and seemed very calm about it, as if he had expected it.
"It's normal, Hanzo is old, and old people tend to be indecisive and hesitant. He didn't want to lose his face and reputation as a demigod, but he also didn't have the courage and responsibility to withstand the pressure of the big ninja village when he was young. He himself was conflicted, so how could he possibly write a clear answer in the letter? "Shiba Kiyokawa said this deliberately. He deliberately used such harsh comments to gradually shatter the filters that the teammates around him used when looking at the Demigod of the Rain Country. Anyway, no matter what Hanzo wrote in his reply, it would not shake his determination to take action this time. He must beat the root! The only value of this reply to him was that it removed a layer of his worries. Hanzo was still willing to reply to them normally, which at least showed that he should not have colluded with Danzo at this time. Shiba Kiyokawa no longer has to worry about being attacked from two sides. Their surveillance operations were not interrupted by this letter. Over the past few days, they have accurately detected the specific number of people in the Root team: there are a total of twelve Root people this time! The whereabouts of one of them was also captured by Xiaoyu and Hydrangea's flock of birds! So that night, the first trial operation began! The Root Ninja who was targeted at this time was still unaware of the hidden surveillance around him. He spent the entire day today gathering information in the Land of Rain, collecting intelligence about the Akatsuki organization and inquiring about the mysterious "Shimura Taiga". At the end of the day, he thought he had gained a lot. Under the moonlight, there was a faint smile on the face hidden behind the white mask. I don’t know if I dreamed about getting a promotion and a raise, or about taking an early vacation. As I was walking, suddenly, a group of birds were startled on the left side of the road. The Root ninja who was walking alone at night was startled. He subconsciously clenched a kunai, turned to the left as if facing a great enemy, and hunched his body. "Huh, it turns out it's just a flock of birds." Finding that nothing was wrong, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Just when he thought it was a false alarm and was most relaxed, a strong wind suddenly came from the right side of the road behind him! "Wind Escape·The air currents are dancing!" The person who used the wind jutsu was Kazuki Masuda, and the ninjutsu he was using now was the one that Shiba Kiyokawa had traded from the Uchiha clan. The Root Ninja turned back in horror, but the moment he turned around, a blazing orange-red flame ignited in the wind. "Art fire escape ho fireball!" Since it is a deal with the Uchiha clan, this classic fire-style ninjutsu is naturally indispensable! Crow Feather blew out a fireball, which coordinated with the wind jutsu that Masuda Kazuki had performed in advance. In an instant, the wind helped the fire, and the scorching heat instantly blew onto the face of the Root Ninja! The mask shattered immediately, and the hair was blown up by the strong wind and turned into a slicked back hair. The young Root Ninja did not care at this moment that his face was completely exposed. In the sudden burst of fire, he seemed to vaguely see a pair of scarlet eyes, full of malice and murderous intent, locking onto him! It's Uchiha! At that moment, fear, panic, hatred, and many emotions surged like a tide, making the young Root ninja unable to control himself and roaring and snarling! "Uchiha! You are a family born with evil in mind! It turns out that you are the ones who framed Danzo-sama again! You are the scourge of Konoha!"
At the same time, Hydrangea, who was standing on a tree branch not far away, saw this scene and couldn't help but turn her head to look at the man who didn't move at the side but directed all this in front of her. She couldn't help but murmured in a voice full of admiration and fear. "Qinghe, your illusion technique has improved again." (End of this chapter)
