After writing down the place where Uchiha Kurumi was buried, Hyōjin pondered for a moment and said: "It's not safe here, we need to deal with it and find another place to recuperate."
This cave is not far from the battlefield where Hyōjin and Uchiha Shinichi fought.
Once the Cloud Village or the Konoha Village find out that Uchiha Shinichi is missing, they will inevitably start a carpet search around the battlefield, and it won't take them long to find this cave, so it's not a good place to stay for a long time.
Uchiha Shinichi nodded and immediately used Great Fireball Jutsu on the place where a large amount of blood was left.
After being burned by the Fire Release Jutsu, all the blood on the ground was turned into flying ash, and the place where Uchiha Shinichi was just lying just now was left with a black burn mark.
On the battlefield.
The confrontation between Team-11 and the Cloud Village continued, but both sides were afraid of each other, so no one dared to act rashly.
Team-11 wasn't afraid of the Cloud Ninjas on the opposite side. As the captain, Kakashi was just worried that it would lead to an all-out war between the Konoha Village and the Cloud Village.
On the Cloud Village's side, Yugito Nii learned that Zhishui also has a Mangekyou Sharingan, and Hyōjin seems to have defeated Uchiha Shinichi one-on-one, so she had the idea of retreating.
After all, this is the territory of the Land of Fire, and the Muye Ninja Army led by Jiraiya is not far from here. Once Muye's reinforcements arrive, they will be attacked from both front and back.
Bang …
Suddenly, a brilliant red light flashed in the distant sky, cutting through the heavy curtain of night.
A Cloud Jonin came to Yugito Nii and whispered: "It's Muye's signal flare, we should retreat!"
"Retreat!"
Yugito Nii coldly glanced at the four people of Team-11 and finally issued the order to retreat.
Whoosh …
Following Yugito Nii's order, the Cloud ninjas turned into afterimages and quickly disappeared into the darkness of the night.
"Phew …" Kakashi heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhishui asked Hyōjin anxiously, "Senpai, which direction did Shinichi escape to?"
Hyōjin said, "Don't be hasty. Let's meet up with Lord Jiraiya and the others first."
Knowing that Jiraiya's reinforcements were about to arrive, Zhishui suppressed the anxiety in her heart. After all, there were only four people in Class 11, and it wouldn't be easy for them to hunt down an anti-tracking expert in the dense forest at night.
After a while, Jiraiya led a large number of Muye ninjas to the battlefield.
Even Jiraiya, who is used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but be amazed when he saw the messy battlefield.
Kakashi quickly stepped forward and reported to Jiraiya about the situation of the battle between Team-11 and Cloud Village, and finally said: "Uchiha Shinichi is currently missing after fighting with Kuroto."
Jiraiya walked in front of Hyōjin, looked up and down and said with a smile: "Little guy, we meet again!"
Hyōjin, who has taken off the Anbu mask, saluted Jiraiya: "Jiraiya -sama."
Speaking of which, Jiraiya can be regarded as Hyōjin's lucky star. If Hyōjin and Itachi hadn't accidentally met Orochi Maru and Jiraiya, the consequences would have been unpredictable.
Jiraiya said casually: "Tell me about your fight with him."
Hyōjin naturally won't tell the truth. In his description, the course of the battle became that Uchiha Shinichi used his Susanoo to attack fiercely, and he just dodged everywhere. In the end, Uchiha Shinichi seemed to have consumed too much of his Chakra and had to withdraw.
There are no loopholes in this statement.
Because almost all of the damage to the surrounding environment was caused by Uchiha Shinichi's Susanoo, and Hyōjin's attacks have always been controlled, so no matter who it is, they can't find any loopholes in Hyōjin's statement just based on the situation on the battlefield.
After understanding the situation, Jiraiya personally deployed a search operation, and Kakashi once again summoned his Ninja Dogs.
However, Hyōjin's true body was always with Uchiha Shinichi, so whether it was Jiraiya's search operation or Kakashi's Ninja Dogs, they couldn't find any clues.
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.
With Uchiha Shinichi's mobility, three days is more than enough for him to escape from the Land of Fire, so Team-11 had no choice but to return to the village.
As soon as they returned to the village, Team-11 was summoned by Three Generations to Naruto's office.
Naruto's office.
Three Generations had a pipe in their mouth, their brows were furrowed, their eyes were cold, and there seemed to be a few more wrinkles on their foreheads.
On the sofa, Danzō's face was gloomy, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
Mitokemon Homura and Koharu, the two Advisor Elders, were full of worry, with a heavy look on their faces.
As the captain of Team-11, Kakashi reported the process of Team-11's pursuit of Uchiha Shinichi in detail, without leaving any details.
After listening to Kuroto's explanation, Sandaime asked, "So, Uchiha Shinichi has defected to Kumo?"
Kakashi had to bite the bullet and said, "I'm not sure at the moment, but the possibility is very high."
Three Generations waved his hand, signaling Team-11 to withdraw.
After Team-11 left the office, Danzō said coldly, "There is a Cloud spy in the village!"
It's not difficult to come to this conclusion, after all, if there was no Cloud spy who instigated Uchiha Shinichi's rebellion, it would be impossible for Cloud Village to react so quickly and send reinforcements before Muye's pursuers caught up with Uchiha Shinichi.
Pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, Mito Homura added, "This spy can learn about the conflict between Uchiha Shinichi and Root, and bypassed the Uchiha Clan to contact Uchiha Shinichi, indicating that his status in the village is not low, and is likely to be lurking in the Root or Anbu."
Danzō was a little unhappy, "There is no problem with my Root!"
Zhuan Xiao Chun said, "A mere Uchiha Shinichi broke through your Root base, and I heard that not only did they suffer heavy losses, but even the secret vault was looted. Danzō, this time you should reflect on your actions! "
"You …" Danzō glared at Zhuan Xiao Chun, and then snorted, "Humph, I will investigate the Root, but I firmly believe that there is no Cloud spy among my subordinates!"
This time, Danzō made a big fool of himself. The Root base, as their base, was single-handedly broken through by Uchiha Shinichi. Not only the Root ninjas suffered heavy losses, but even the secret vault and laboratory were looted by unknown people.
This directly caused the Danzō's prestige to plummet, and his authority in the advisory group was also affected.
Three Generations said, "I will also investigate the Anbu."
