The Senju remnants of the Uchiha clan

Chapter 18 Misjudgment and Support

"Shiratori, please, I want more..."

"No more. I really don't have a drop left."

"Nonsense, you obviously still have so much!"

"Okay... no."

Zhiwei, who was running at the front of the team, couldn't help but look back.

At such a young age, what kind of vicious words are you saying?
Feeling Zhiwei's gaze, Xi Ri Hong stopped talking.

She just wanted to ask Shiratori for some clean water to wash her hands. After burying the bodies of her Konoha companions - especially those with severed limbs and arms - she always felt that her hands were still emitting a lingering corpse stench.

However, considering that there was still a day and a half of journey left and the situation on the front line was unclear, Zhiwei ordered to conserve water resources and not to waste drinking water.

So the little girl Xi Ri Hong had to give up.

"Please be patient until we reach the Southeast Camp."

Zhiwei suddenly couldn't continue.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen can actually do whatever they want in the territory of the Land of Fire. Does the Southeast Camp... still exist now?
Zhiwei could only force himself to think positively.

Konoha is the most powerful ninja village in the ninja world! Even if something really happened, the village would quickly send reinforcements. Maybe the reinforcements are already on the way, and then they can encircle and suppress Biwa Juzo and the other Seven Ninja Swordsmen...

Wait, encirclement and suppression?
"wrong!"

Zhiwei slammed on the brakes, and the distracted Bai Niao almost hit the other car.

"Teacher Zhiwei, what's wrong?"

Even through the black hood, Bai Niao could sense Zhiwei's anxious look.

Even when he found his companion's body before, Zhiwei had never lost his composure like this.

"Five days."

Zhiwei clenched his fists, his eyes filled with unconcealable gloom.

"It has been five days since the last transport team was wiped out. The Kirigakure troops that infiltrated the Land of Fire had plenty of time to destroy the bodies and cover up all traces instead of waiting for us to discover them."

"Could it be that they are worried about the patrol ninjas on the front line?" Ibiki asked.

Zhiwei shook his head and replied, "But no investigation team was sent to the front line, right? If the abnormality at the front line was planned by Kirigakure, then they couldn't have failed to calculate this. Even out of caution, they should have destroyed the bodies that were most likely to reveal clues, such as the ninja who was chopped off by the beheading sword and whose blood was sucked."

"So..." Bai Niao felt a chill in his heart.

"Kirigakure... let us discover all this on purpose."

Zhiwei's tone was extremely heavy: "We have been fooled, their purpose is to make us split our forces! The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are the most elite force of Kirigakure, and their status is only second to the Mizukage and the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki. If... I mean if, Kirigakure really attacks the Southeast Camp, then the village will immediately gather reinforcements and rush to their aid. If the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are still in the heart of the Land of Fire, then they will be in danger of being surrounded and annihilated. Kirigakure will never take risks with ninjas of the level of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!"

"If I'm not mistaken..." Zhiwei looked at his three subordinates and said slowly, "Biwa Juzo, who holds the beheading sword, is no longer here, but Kirigakure has not evacuated all the ninjas. These ninjas are not sure about facing a team led by several jonins, but facing the jonin teams that have been divided, they are sure to attack and kill one or two of them at the same time, and finally... defeat them one by one."

Shiratori greatly admired Aburame Shiwei's analytical ability and guessed the next course of action, so he pulled out a scroll from behind his waist.

"untie!"

After a puff of smoke, a white ninja sword appeared on the scroll.

"What is this?" Hong cast a curious look.

"Ninja Sword Shirashio."

Shiratori tied the ninja sword, which was almost as long as one side of himself, behind his back.

This sword was a gift from Shiratori's grandfather to Shiratori before she left. It has a great origin - it was the sword of Shiratori's great-grandfather - the second-generation Hokage, Senju Tobirama!

Speaking of which, the sword's greatest record in the past seemed to be that it ripped open Uchiha Izuna's belly with one sword, causing him to be seriously injured and die.

Shiratori didn't dare show this thing to old man Setsuna, for he was afraid that the other party would break the sword and throw it into the septic tank... By the way, Shiratori's best weapon is the ninja sword, but it is not the Uchiha swordsmanship, but the one inherited from the Senju clan. His grandfather once praised him for his sword skills, which are quite similar to the style of the second-generation Hokage.

"Teacher Zhiwei, should we move closer to other teams next?" Shiratori straightened his clothes, placed the ninja sword in a position where it was most convenient to pull out, and then asked.

"Yes."

Zhiwei put down the wooden box behind him and said to the three people: "Now, hide your wooden boxes here and mark them. We will travel light and move towards the direction of other teams as quickly as possible!"

I hope it’s not too late, Zhiwei added silently in his heart.

Half a day had passed. If there was an attack, it should have happened long ago. Since his team was safe and sound, then the other teams... probably had someone "win" already.

.........

Another half day had passed and the sun was about to set.

The Zhiwei team stopped. They had already determined that the Shuitian team closest to them was in trouble, and they themselves were also in trouble.

"Are we... not deviating from the direction?" Ibiki asked uncertainly.

"I, I don't know." Hong clenched her kunai, her palms were full of sweat due to her nervousness.

Fog, heavy fog.

There was a vast expanse of white all around, and one couldn't tell east, west, south, or north. Even if one was far away, one couldn't see each other's figures clearly.

and……

"Chakra, there is free chakra in the mist." Shiratori opened his Sharingan, and two magatama in each of his eyes rotated around his pupils.

In his eyes, the white mist at this time emitted a faint light, which was the light of chakra.

"Mist Hidden Technique." Zhiwei stretched out his hand and carefully felt the mist, and said helplessly, "The good news is that we have confirmed that the Suiten Jonin team has been attacked. The bad news is... we don't know their location and cannot provide timely support."

He has released countless parasitic bugs, but he still cannot tell the direction. Many of them even get lost because they absorb the disordered chakra in the mist and cannot return to his body.

"Teacher Zhiwei--" Shiratori suddenly asked, "The center of the Mist Hidden Technique should be the caster, right?"

"Yes."

"So the closer to the center, the higher the concentration of chakra?"

"That's right, but as the mist spreads, the change in chakra concentration is difficult to sense, even for the most powerful ninja. This is the difficulty of the Mist Hidden Technique, unless——"

Aburame Shiwei was suddenly stunned because he noticed Shiratori's scarlet eyes.

Yes! Sharingan! There is an Uchiha ninja in my team!

The main reason is that Shiratori usually behaves too elegant and easy-going, which makes him out of tune with the other pretentious Uchiha clan members, and makes people ignore the fact that he is also from the Uchiha clan.

And he is the most famous genius in the Uchiha clan!
"wait for me."

As the white bird spoke, it ran into the depths of the thick fog and wandered around, returning to everyone after a while.

"Over there, in that direction should be the caster. And there is more than one caster. Be careful."

Unable to perceive?

Sorry, I just watched it.

Any slight change in chakra cannot escape the capture of the Sharingan; even the Byakugan cannot compare to this.

The Byakugan and Sharingan have different focuses on observation ability, one horizontally and the other vertically.

If the Byakugan's insight is "seeing far, with a wide range, and being able to see through", then the Sharingan is -

It’s accurate, detailed and very clear!
