The sea was vast and boundless, and one couldn't see the end of it.
Aoyama squatted on top of a reef and stared blankly. A small section of the reef was broken, and looking at the smooth cut, one could tell that the person who broke the reef was not ordinary.
The gentle sea breeze lightly fluttered their clothes, the sky was cloudless, and the azure blue waves were swallowing and spitting out silver white waves. From afar, a few strange cries of seabirds could be heard. Everything was so beautiful.
However, Aoyama's bad mood didn't change because of the influence of the beautiful scenery. Everyone spread out and tried their best to find the traces left behind by Hoodlum. However, until now, there was no news back.
Hoodlum was proficient in the space-time technique, and Aoyama could guess that Takumi must have been sucked into a space-time space. That was why Takumi's aura was cut off, and there were no clues at all. Therefore, only Hoodlum was left, but he didn't know if he could find any clues. After all, using space-time to move, it was very difficult to find the traces left behind.
On the beach, at the place where Hoodlum and Takumi fought, other than the berserk Chakra of the three-tailed beast, there were still some traces of other Chakra left behind. This was something that Shino's insect had detected, otherwise, it would be impossible to rely on normal perception to detect it.
"Aoyama -sama, Shino found some traces in the north." Sasai rode on a big black bird and flew over, then jumped onto the surface of the sea and trotted over.
There was a smile on Sasai's face, a very delicate but also very hypocritical smile, which made people want to punch him a few times. However, Aoyama wasn't in the mood to talk about this right now, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "You said that it was in the north?"
"Yes, about two kilometers away from here, there were traces left behind on a tree." Sasai said respectfully.
Aoyama rubbed his chin. He had already figured out that Hoodlum wouldn't do something like that, which meant that the traces that Shino had found were most likely real. However, he couldn't be careless. Time was of the essence, and he had to find Takumi before the seal ended. Thinking up to here, he had a plan.
"Sasai, go to the other direction and look for Hinata and Ya. See if they have found anything. If they have, go to the north to find me. If not, come to the north with them. Do you understand?"
"Yes, sir."
Sasai agreed. He rode the big bird that he had drawn and left quickly to the side.
After Sakai left, Aoyama also moved. She activated her Flash Step and disappeared into the sea. She entered the forest and quickly found Shino.
They were now in the northeast region of the Fire Country, which was close to the border. Not far from here was the Country of Hot Water. The rolling mountains gradually became flat, and even the trees became sparse. Instead, they were replaced by plains and hills. From afar, they could see patches of farmland, where farmers were farming.
Shino was squatting on a big tree. Black insects were dancing around him. They looked like a large black cloud, and the sound of insects was endless. Kota followed Shino from a distance. He didn't like insects.
"Shino, what's the situation? Sakai said you found something. "Yuehua rushed over with Flash Step, lightly stepping on a thin branch, and asked aloud.
"The place where the insects are clinging to is the place where the remnants of the Chakra are. The enemy came from here." Shino said in a low voice. He waved his hand, and the insects flew out. They gathered on the branches and covered an area the size of a palm.
Looking around, there were many black marks on the branches, forming a line, a moving path.
"This is amazing!"
Aoyama looked at the black marks and clapped her hands in admiration. Those black marks were footprints. Ninjas need to use the Chakra to climb on cliffs, trees, houses, and water.
Unlike flowing water, there would definitely be traces left behind in other places. However, the traces left behind would be very subtle, and humans would not be able to sense them. Only insects, which were similarly insignificant, would be able to sense them.
Aoyama's mouth slightly curved. It seems that asking Team-8 for help was a very wise choice. In terms of tracking, it's really hard to find a team that can surpass Team-8.
Before Aoyama's generation, there was no such team that specialized in tracking because the survival rate of such teams on the battlefield was not high. It was during peacetime that the Three Generations of Hokage made bold attempts. Team-8, who specialized in tracking, and Team-10, who specialized in Taijutsu, were the products of this experiment.
Like the three members of Team-8, none of them were simple. Shino was the next head of the Aburame Clan. Except for a few elders of the previous generation, no one could surpass him in controlling insects. Hinata was from the Hyuga Main Family. Byakugan was born with a very high degree of development. Only a freak like Neji could surpass the princess of the Main Family. Otherwise, not many people in the Hyuga Clan could compare to her.
It can be said that this is a super luxurious team, a team composed of the direct descendants of a big family. This is the era of bloodline, and noble bloodline is often linked to powerful strength, this is the iron rule of the entire ninja world.
After waiting for a while, Kiba and Hinata also rushed over. They were followed by Zi and Keita respectively. Except for Masahiko and Kazuhisa who returned to the village, the rest of the nine people gathered together.
"The smell here is very light, covered by the smell of plants, but … I can still smell it." Kiba and Akamaru sniffed around and gave a definite answer.
Yuehua trusted Fang's judgment, because the Inuzuka family's secret technique allowed them to concentrate their chakra on their nose, which was tens of thousands of times better than an ordinary person's sense of smell. Yuehua had always doubted it, because it was tens of thousands of times better than an ordinary person.
"Let's continue."
Before Moonlight could finish her words, a series of swishing sounds could be heard, and a series of silhouettes sped away, leaving only the slightly swaying branches.
On a small road in the countryside, weeds grew crazily on both sides of the road, almost spreading to the middle of the road.
"What kind of broken road is this? Can it be worse? Oh! I hate this kind of place, there are so many insects and snakes, I don't want to deal with snakes again in my life. "Suigetsu muttered and complained.
Sasuke and his party left the Country of Wave and began to track Itachi, but the result was not very smooth. Itachi's whereabouts were unpredictable. They only knew that Itachi caught Nibi at the border of the Country of Thunder, and they didn't know anything after that, so they were going to the Country of Thunder to take a look, maybe they can get some useful information.
"Suigetsu, shut up and walk properly." Kimimaro scolded coldly.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Suigetsu answered weakly, carrying the beheading sword behind the team, as if he was dehydrated.
