Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki

Chapter 78 Stalking and Quarrel

In the dense forest, a vague figure shuttled between the tree trunks, constantly approaching his target. In order not to make too much noise, Shirataki did not use all his strength to rush forward. The sky is covered with clouds, and the faint moonlight shines through the clouds, making today's night darker than before, as if it heralds some ominous sign.

As time passed by, the distance between the four people in the target gradually narrowed, and they gradually came into Shirataki's sight. The amount of chakra of these four people is not high. Except for one who can barely reach the jounin level, the remaining three are either genin or chunin.

As for the chakra levels of chuunin and genin, Shirataki didn't know when he started to be too lazy to distinguish. Because a ninja at this level, not to mention the influence on his body, is too small for his shadow clones.

Under normal circumstances, Shirataki prefers to classify them as miscellaneous fish. Shirataki narrowed his eyes slightly, and wisps of cold light bloomed from his eyes, "These are not Kato Dan's team members, what are they doing here?"

After a brief thought, the distance was closed again quietly, and Shirataki was less than one kilometer away from Kato Dan and the others. At this distance, Shirataki can reach it within two seconds at full speed.

The noise emitted when Shirataki breaks the sound barrier for the first time will reach the target's ears three seconds later. To put it simply, at this moment, Kato Dan and his party of four had entered Shirataki's instant kill range without even realizing it.

Sensing organs such as eyes and ears can no longer help them. As long as Shirataki chooses to take action, the result will be no doubt. While moving quietly, Shirataki kept a close distance, his footsteps lightly stepping on the branches and the ground, trying not to make too much noise. The dark figure completely blended into the night, and Shirataki seemed to be transformed into a ghost, silently watching the prey not far ahead, constantly calculating the distance traveled in his heart.

Kato Dan led his three temporary team members and hurried on in the dark night. He had no idea that he had been targeted by Shirataki.

One after another figures shuttled through the forest. Everyone in Kato Dan's team had serious faces and focused eyes, and kept moving at the fastest speed.

Captain Kato Dan walked at the front, scanning the surrounding hidden places with his sharp eyes to avoid being ambushed by the enemy, while thinking about various matters related to this mission in his mind.

This mission that I just received in the middle of the night is a reconnaissance mission. The purpose is to find out a weak link in the overall defense line of Yu Ren. It is also a deeply hidden stronghold.

Kato Dan knew clearly that the reason why the higher-ups entrusted him with such a task was simply because they took a fancy to his powerful reconnaissance ability of spiritual transformation. At least he had no dissatisfaction. Rather, it would be better to say that Kato Duan was delighted to be able to take on such an important task.

Obtaining information about that place is not only very important to Kato Dan personally, because it means an improvement in merit and can bring him one step closer to Hokage. Similarly, it is also very important for the village, because it involves the village's next strategic plan, including a series of offensive and defensive deployments for Yuyin Village.

Regardless of whether it was for public or private reasons, Kato Dan knew the importance of this mission, so he did not dare to relax at all and kept his nerves tense throughout the process. Affected by the captain, the atmosphere of the entire team became a bit chaotic, and ordinary team members did not dare to speak.

Of course, Akimichi Shouto is not included in the category of ordinary team members. After all, he thinks that he has a good relationship with Kato Dan, otherwise he would not join the opponent's team temporarily. Akimichi Shouto is a young, fat man. His character is always lively and cheerful as the Akimichi clan. Naturally, he cannot stand such a tense atmosphere.

So, while marching in silence, Akimichi Shouto said, "Segment, how far is it?" Akimichi Shouto's tone was a little irritated when he spoke, but more of it was excitement that could not be hidden. Since there is a possibility of fighting with the rain ninja, this mission is rated A-level. For Akimichi Shouto, an A-level mission is enough to arouse his expectations.

Hearing the voices behind him, Kato Suan tilted his head slightly and showed a gentle smile, "It's still early, it will be good if we can get there tomorrow night. Don't be anxious, Shouto, there will definitely be a chance for you to perform by then." Facts Yes, these are just polite words from Kato Dan. If possible, he has no desire to fight the enemy within the rain ninja's sphere of influence.

The reason why I say that is just because Akimichi Shouto is the key training target of the Akimichi clan, and there is a vague feeling that he is the leader of the Akimichi clan. Kato Dan has always been quite dignified, so he doesn't mind saying some nice words at this time to maintain a good relationship with Akimichi Shouto.

"What, do we have to wait until tomorrow night?" Akimichi Shouto groaned impatiently at first, then seemed to think of something, and asked Kato Sudan with a curious look on his face, "By the way, Sudan, what did you do two days ago?" Haven’t you met Lord Uzumaki Shirataki? Can you tell me about him?”

"What?" Kato Dan looked at Akimichi Shouto in a funny way and teased, "Do you admire that guy too?"

Akimichi Shouto was not embarrassed and said frankly, "In Konoha today, there should be quite a few people who admire him."

After saying that, Akimichi Shouto's eyes seemed to radiate some kind of yearning light, "At the age of twenty-three, in just one fight, he was able to defeat the Sanshouyu Hanzo and make the Amegakure Village retreat again and again."

"At such an age, he can turn the tide of the war with one person. Not only have I never seen such a ninja before, but there has never been one in the history of Konoha." After saying this, Akimichi Shouto laughed. He continued without hesitation, "In two or three years, I will be twenty-three years old. By then, if I can be half, no, one-third as strong as Uzumaki Shirataki-sama, I will be satisfied."

Akimichi Shouto's speech seemed to slightly relieve the tense atmosphere around him. Another person in the team couldn't help but said, "Don't say it's a third, Shouto, I think you can have Uzumaki Shirataki in two years." One-fifth of your strength is pretty good.”

This person is a civilian ninja and a die-hard fan of Uzumaki Shirataki. Naturally, he cannot tolerate Akimichi Shouto "belittle" his idol in this way.

Having said that, since Shirataki's identity was exposed, he has almost become the leader of the younger generation in Konoha, and his reputation far exceeds that of the young Sannin. After all, he once defeated Jiraiya in the blink of an eye in front of everyone. And because the Uzumaki clan does not belong to the Konoha ninja clan in the traditional sense, he is admired by a large number of young civilian ninjas, which even he himself is not aware of.

"One-fifth?" Akimichi Shouto's face darkened, he turned his head and said solemnly to the speaker, "I am also the young patriarch of the Akimichi clan. Are you looking for trouble when you look down on me so much?" Akimichi Shouto spoke. His tone was not very good, and his fat face was full of resentment. If combined with his huge body, he looked quite scary.

But the young ninja who spoke was obviously not scared, and he happened to have some opinions about Akimichi Shouto. Seeing that Akimichi Shouto was not convinced, he immediately taunted, "Say one-fifth is a compliment to you. You didn't see Uzumaki Shirataki-sama show off his strength that night."

"That night, Jiraiya challenged Lord Uzumaki Shirataki beyond his capabilities, and guess what?" The young ninja widened his eyes unconsciously, with an expression of wonder on his face.

"Shirataki-sama can use moves similar to the teleportation technique without using any seals, and can easily dodge Jiraiya's attacks. Moreover, Shirataki-sama is extremely fast. He can generate gusts of wind pressure just by waving his ninja sword. His speed is even Faster than sound!"

Since Akimichi Shouto was not present at the time, he naturally could not imagine what the scene was like. At this moment, when he heard his companion boasting about Uzumaki Shirataki, even if he had heard it in normal times, Akimichi Shouto's face was full of confusion. He subconsciously looked at the captain in front of him, apparently hoping that Kato Dan would give an answer.

Kato Dan noticed Akimichi Shouto's gaze, pondered for a moment, and then said with a helpless smile, "Sorry, Shouto, I didn't see that battle, so I don't know."

"Uzumaki Shirataki... Shirataki is too mysterious, and I can't see through his strength." Kato Suan raised his head slightly, his eyes slightly absent-minded, as if he was thinking of the meeting a few days ago.

Seeing that the captain was lost in thought as he spoke, Akimichi Shouto sighed helplessly and was about to say something, but unexpectedly a female voice suddenly came from beside him, "It's not ninjutsu, it's taijutsu!" This conclusion, It directly attracted the attention of three people, including Kato Dan, who all looked at the girl sandwiched between them in confusion.

It was a young and beautiful girl, wearing a Chuunin vest, with short black hair spread messily on her head, dancing in the breeze. Two colorful markings were painted on her face, which were shaped like sharp claws and teeth, but paired with her beautiful face, they did not look ferocious at all, but instead added a hint of wild temptation. A black-haired puppy lay lazily on her shoulder, snorting from time to time, as if it was sleeping.

"Arashi, how do you know?" The civilian ninja couldn't help but asked with a bad look, as if he couldn't accept that his idol's movement method was so unskilled.

The girl named Lan straightened her nose, grinned slightly, showed a calm smile, and said two words "intuition."

Kato Dan nodded thoughtfully after hearing Arashi's answer, but did not make any comments. However, the civilian ninja couldn't bear it and retorted loudly, "Intuition? What's the reason? Arashi, you don't want it." If you don’t understand, how about pretending to understand?”

After seeing this, Lan didn't get angry. He just smiled and said confidently, "Don't underestimate the instinct of the beast, Kurama."

"When eyes and ears are no longer useful, we must remember that we still have a nose." Lan first pointed to his nose, then tapped his head, and continued, "Smell, reaction, and sixth sense , these are the special skills of our Inuzuka clan.”

"Even if the speed is so fast that it surpasses sound, it is not completely traceable. My sense of smell is more than 10,000 times more sensitive than ordinary people. It is not surprising that I can smell a little change in the smell in the air every moment. ? What's more, after running, there will be traces on the ground, so you don't think I can't notice the smell, right?" Inuzuka Arashi said something reasonable, and Kurama Moto retorted subconsciously. , but after thinking about it carefully, I decided to accept the other party’s statement, but

"So what if it's running? It's hard for anyone in this world to react at that speed, right? That's already beyond any movement type ninjutsu!"

Kurama blushed slightly, stiffening his neck and continued to brag about Shirataki's achievements, "What about the third-generation disciples? Uzumaki Shirataki-sama can defeat them all just by running. His opponent is too weak, he just doesn't bother to use ninjutsu!"

Faced with the facts, Kurama chose to avoid the important and take advantage of the situation and change his perspective. This approach aroused the dissatisfaction of Akimichi Shouto, "Okay, Shiranui Kurama, you work so hard to promote Uzumaki Shirataki-sama, will people know about you in the future?" Not everyone."
