The forest in the northern part of the Land of Rain.
Continuous light rain dripped from the sky, accompanied by a chill, hitting everyone on the way.
"Brother Jianyue, where are we going?"
During a short break, Yahiko, wearing a thickened raincoat, came to Uchiha Mitsuki and asked softly.
Beside him were Xiaonan and Nagato wearing raincoats.
"Of course I'm going back to Konoha!"
Big raindrops dripped from the brim of Uchiha Mitsuki's hat. He smiled and comforted the somewhat confused Yahiko and the others: "Don't worry, I have everything under control!"
Seeing that the three of them still looked worried, Uchiha Mitsuki prepared to say something interesting to distract their attention.
But at this moment, Aburame Ryoma suddenly came over.
"Lord Miyue, there is a cave over there! Let's go in and take a rest!"
"Okay, lead the way!"
Uchiha Mitsuki considered that he had traveled a long way and was feeling a little hungry at the moment, so he nodded in agreement.
Soon, they came to the cave discovered by Aburame Ryoma.
After replenishing his energy, Uchiha Mitsuki strode to the Yahiko trio, said some comforting words, and promised to treat them to famous snack bars such as Dango Shop, Ichiraku Ramen, and Yakiniku Q after arriving in Konoha.
After dinner, the three of them smiled.
"It's time to go! Lord Miyue!"
Looking at the gloomy sky outside the cave, Gu Jie reminded him.
Although Uchiha Mitsuki broke up the large army, in fact, each ninja team can still support each other.
Therefore, arriving at the specified place at the specified time is the top priority of Uchiha Mitsuki's retreat plan.
Not to mention that ninjas are a disciplined and well-trained profession, so it is not difficult to do this.
"Okay! Clean up the traces here first, and then set off!" Uchiha Mitsuki glanced back at everyone and ordered loudly.
Not long after, several figures rushed out of the cave and flashed towards the south.
That night, a ninja crow flew and landed on Uchiha Mitsuki who was on his way.
He stopped, opened the secret message on Ninja Crow's ankle and read it.
【Enemy attack, evacuate quickly!】
These simple words were scrawled, and the handwriting was all in red. Uchiha Mitsuki even smelled a faint smell of blood from them.
is blood……
Closing his eyes, he could completely imagine the mood of a Konoha ninja after encountering a strong enemy, being injured, dodging with difficulty, and writing this letter with his fingers stained with blood from the wound.
He must hope to alert other companions!
"Don't worry! I won't let your sacrifice be in vain!"
Uchiha Mitsuki gritted his teeth, his eyes full of determination.
"Lord Jian Yue, what's wrong?"
Seeing the young man's expression so solemn, Gu Jie couldn't help but ask.
Uchiha Mitsuki didn't want to reply to Kosuke directly, but held the letter in his hand and shouted softly.
"Send emergency warning siren!"
"What?"
Fousuke was shocked and quickly took out three flares from his ninja bag and launched them into the air.
In an instant, three dazzling fireworks lit up the night sky.
At the same time, dense insects flew out of Aburame Ryoma's body and scattered around!
Facing the Iwa Ninja's pursuit, how could Aburame Ryoma be careless?
At this moment, he looked at the depressed young man not far away with a solemn expression, but no matter what, he would never allow anyone to hurt Uchiha Mitsuki.
On the other side, this sudden change made the three of Yahiko nervous.
Xiaonan hesitated again and again, but still couldn't hold it back. He took a step forward and asked Uchiha Mitsuki: "Brother Mitsuki, what's wrong?"
"It's Iwa Ninja! They're coming after me!"
As Uchiha Mitsuki spoke, he waved for everyone to leave here, because the signal flare just now had exposed their position and Iwagakure would be attracted soon.
Seeing this, everyone speeded up and continued on their way without saying a word.
"I didn't expect Iwa Ninja to come so quickly...and it's very possible that Onoki's guy is here too...but I don't have much fighting power now...tonight may be a race between life and death."
Uchiha Miyuki's eyes flickered, and his feet didn't stop for a moment.
…
At the same time, on the other side of the forest.
Looking at the three flares that lit up in the night sky, Hatake Sakumo had a solemn look on his face.
"Which team is in that position?"
A ninja thought for a moment and immediately replied: "It's Lord Miyue!"
"Oops!"
Hatake Sakumo exclaimed and began to hesitate whether to support Uchiha Mitsuki.
From a profit perspective, as a competitor, there is nothing wrong with him not going.
But after pondering for a moment, he realized that he couldn't pass the emotional test.
Uchiha Mitsuki was the junior he had seen growing up, and he could not sit back and watch his enemies harm the young man who treated him with great respect.
Thinking of this, Hatake Sakumo said to the three people beside him: "You continue on your way, I will go to support Miyuki!"
"Yes! Lord Sakumo!"
…
The mountain forest where the flare was fired earlier.
"Gone! Lord Tsuchikage!"
A tall and thin Iwa nin came to Ohnoki and bowed to report.
"Are you a step too late?"
Onoki's eyes flashed, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a moment, he used the art of Escape from Earth to Light and Heavy Rocks and flew into the air.
"If we don't catch up here, the seismic nuclear force led by Kari will soon encounter that damn brat!"
"No, I have to rush over quickly! This guy Uchiha Mitsuki must be killed by me!"
At this thought, Ohnoki couldn't help but speed up.
…
Silent forest.
Only the patter of raindrops falling to the ground continued to sound.
At this time, there were a few "swish" sounds, and several figures shuttled past.
Suddenly, Uchiha Mitsuki's heart was beating wildly as he was on his way, and he couldn't help but stop.
"This feeling……"
Holding his chest that was rising and falling violently, Uchiha Mizuki's expression darkened.
"Lord Jian Yue, what's wrong?"
Seeing the young man suddenly falling behind, everyone quickly stopped and came closer.
Uchiha Mitsuki put down his arms, frowned and replied: "Somehow, it always feels weird!"
Although Uchiha Mitsuki didn't think about it carefully before, at this moment, a voice in his heart rang unconsciously - his whereabouts may have been exposed!
In fact, Iwagakure's pursuit was originally considered by Uchiha Mitsuki, but it was really unexpected that the other party could pinpoint his position so easily.
And this mountain forest always feels weird.
"Brother Ryoma, are there any problems around you?" Uchiha Mitsuki couldn't help but ask.
Aburame Ryoma shook his head, his bug indeed found nothing.
Seeing this, Uchiha Mitsuki felt a lot more relieved. After pondering for a moment, he decided to temporarily change the route.
"We can't go to Hengduan Mountain! Let's go in another direction!"
