Although the wind and snow were heavy, it could not block Yuyi's vision. He could see Kakashi running in front of him.

Sometimes it is very far away, sometimes it is very close.

It seemed as if some kind of force was driving his footsteps... This force does exist, and it can probably be attributed to two words - mission.

By analyzing Kakashi's deep psychology, you can know the importance of the word "task" to him.

At this time, Hayi and Kakashi were chasing Zaibuzen and Terumi Mimi. Before, the other party suddenly withdrew during their respective battles as if they had received a signal of retreat.

In addition, Yuyi was hit by direct-fire artillery from Renzhuli at that time, and she had no way to take into account the enemy's movements, which led to the action being passive.

Of course, the enemy will not leave obvious traces of movement so carelessly. As for the inconspicuous ones, it will be covered up in an instant in the current weather.

Neither Yui nor Kakashi had any means of conducting ultra-long-distance reconnaissance.

Therefore, the current direction of action between the two is just to judge based on the greatest probability of probability.

Consider that if the signal just now really means evacuation, then the greatest feasibility of the enemy's movement direction is towards the Land of Water.

The Land of Water is surrounded by the sea on all sides and is located in the northeast direction of the Original Whirlpool Country, so the two of them are chasing in that direction at this time.

Although Kakashi still looks calm, he can actually feel some other meaning in him, and the possibility is not difficult to guess... Sending a clear evacuation signal is likely to mean that the other party has safely recovered the eye, which means that Konoha's failure in this operation.

In other words, all ninjas participating in this operation failed in their mission, and Kakashi was naturally included.

As for Yuyi, although he is not obsessed with the success rate of higher-level tasks, if this is true, this is probably the first time he has failed in a higher-level task.

"Speaking of it..." Kakashi suddenly said, as if he had remembered something, "Where is the beheading sword?"

He did not look back, and his steps did not stop at all, but his voice revealed a more concerned meaning.

The reason why I care about the decapitation sword is not because it is a rare ninja instrument, but because it was lost in Kakashi's hands. With a serious and responsible attitude, he wanted to try his best to reclaim the decapitation sword.

"I folded it into several pieces, can't be used anymore, right?" Yuyi replied. What's the use of that kind of broken knife?

Unless there is really a ninja who is good at using kitchen knife skills.

Although the beheading sword was broken, it could be recovered through some means, but naturally the information about this detail was not known. In fact, Kakashi didn't know this, but he just thought it was a bit strange.

"Since you can be used as a ninja knife, it seems a bit unreasonable to think that the decapitation sword is so simple..."

Kakashi's idea is very simple. The decapitation sword should have its own unique features. If it is just sharp, it cannot be included in the seven ninja swords, right?

Yuyi was helpless, how could he say "so simple"? He tried very hard when he broke the knife, and even his knees were swollen.

"And, I remember you didn't take a half knife in your hand?"

However, at this time, Yuyi had empty hands.

"What, I just got excited and threw it into the ditch..."

During the fight with Tomimi, Yuyi did throw away the beheading sword. As for where he threw it, he really didn't deliberately remember it.

"If you want to find it, just go to the village just now."

"Although there has been a lake now."

This answer... What else can Kakashi say? Carry out the mission quickly.

Soon, the two people crossed the island, but no trace of the enemy was found along the way.

"Now, should we turn back and continue searching on the island, or..."

As he said that, Kakashi turned his gaze to the sea in front of him, and his meaning was naturally self-evident.

The sea was not calm, and the wind and waves were much greater than when they came here two days ago.

And because of the snow, visibility is not good.

"Continue to move forward."

Yuyi said that he had no real reason for this judgment, but based on his intuition, he believed that the enemy had fled to the sea at this time.

Kakashi has no objection to Yuyi's judgment... Even if he has any objections, he must keep it for the time being.

So two days later, the two returned to the sea for the second time.

In fact, Yuyi's intuition is even worse. He felt that there was no need to continue the mission at this time. Even if he caught up with Shou Meimei and the others, would they be rolling their eyes?

It should be impossible.

Even if I kill all the Mizuho Ninjas I caught, I probably can't roll my eyes.

Because of this idea, after coming to the sea, he led the way in front and changed it to Yuyi himself. He gave up searching for a wide range of horizontal lines and headed quickly towards the direction where the Land of Water was located.

Soon, they left the largest search area specified in the mission, and then Yuyi suddenly raised her right palm and signaled Kakashi to stop after following her.

"What's wrong?" Kakashi asked, he didn't notice anything unusual.

"Can you smell it? The smell of blood..."

Kakashi sniffed hard, and then smelled nothing. This low-temperature environment will actually have a certain impact on the ninja's sense of smell, and the sensitivity will naturally decrease.

But Yuyi's tone was very confident, and he began to turn around.

“Finally found.”

Soon, Yuyi pointed to a piece of water and said.

The sea water was a little red, but if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't see anything at all.

At the prompt from Yuyi, Kakashi of course understood what it was, it was bloodstains.

Looking at the feather, Kakashi felt a little incredible. At this moment, he had the idea of ​​having a few ninja dogs.

Yuyi leaned down and dipped some sea water with her palms, then rubbed her two fingers to feel a stickiness from the blood.

"If I remember correctly, there should be Konoha's detective ninja arrangement in this position. It's obvious that our people were killed...just a while ago."

The possibility of blood from Konoha Ninja is high.

"Chase!"

Now, from the perspective of direction, Yuyi and Kakashi's previous judgments were undoubtedly correct, but unfortunately, they were one step late.

The enemy no longer knows what method to use, and quietly breaks through Konoha's reconnaissance network.
Chapter completed!
