Chapter 36 No.30 Last Words of Four Images

"What are we waiting for here?"

Giyuu asked softly.

In a forest that was almost turned into scorched earth, Uchiha Yoshiyuki and Shisui stood outside the marked blockade, looking at the huge pothole blown out by the Hao fireball, and the muddy river bed not far away, before brainstorming Everything that happened here.

"Uchiha Yanhuo's fire ninjutsu is very hot. In addition, the country of fire has not rained recently, so the surrounding environment is very dry, so everything is completely burned. Looking at the scale of the fire, it is likely to be The enemy deliberately fueled the fire, hoping that Konoha would soon find out that this place was under attack.

"It took hours for patrols to put out the fire after they discovered the conditions, but the ash has covered almost all traces."

Shisui explained unhurriedly: "The investigative ninjas of the Hyuga clan have already seen this place with their white eyes. Considering that the insight effect of the white eyes can penetrate the surface, we can only use Sharingan to search in vain. .

"So, we have to look for possible clues in another way. I have already hired a helper, but in order not to cause trouble for her future work, it is better not to go inside for the time being."

"..."

Giyuu glanced across the area, as if he didn't want to leave the search for clues to others.

Working with other people, especially someone he didn't know, was strange and hard to trust.

But just as Zhishui said, the scene in front of them was like a tough battle between two armies. Except for the slightly melted and recooled rocks at the edges, there were only the remains of trees that were burnt and only crisp branches remained. , and black ashes emitting residual heat and a burnt smell.

Compared with the most common crime scene of volunteers in the past, where blood pools of stumps are everywhere, this place seems a bit too "clean".

Before I came here, I thought I could discover something, and thought that I could do something for Yanhuo and Wen, but now I just feel that I have no way to start.

Compared with ghosts who run away after eating and leave bloodstains and clues everywhere, ninjas who are used to destroying corpses and covering their tracks are a brand new opponent for Giyuu.

They are less stupid than normal ghosts, and less brazen, trying to minimize the evidence against them.

Suddenly, the familiar sense of powerlessness that is helpless to watch the tragedy happen, like a ghost from another world, he has the face of Uchiha Wen and Uchiha Yanhuo, and he uses his hands full of barbs to join forces Pinching Giyuu's heart made him feel both ashamed and remorseful.

For the first time, Yiyong actually wants to know how ninjas think.Because only by knowing this, can he know the enemy's logic and complete the hunt.

"Courageous."

Seeing Yiyong's tense jaw, Shishui lightly pressed his shoulder.

"This kind of thing will always happen, and it is more common than you think. Most of the time, the pursuit of the missing person is fruitless. We can only do our best and get used to it."

During the war, too many people went missing and never came back.When the situation was most critical, everyone had even tacitly agreed to treat disappearances as deaths, so as to reduce the suffering caused by ninjas waiting for their comrades to return and avoid being distracted during the war.

In Zhishui's view, Giyong is too young, and this is the first time he has experienced such a thing, so it is necessary to tell him that this is actually the norm in this world.If you can't adapt as soon as possible, it will be more painful in the future.

"I know it's normal."

Giyuu replied calmly, "But just because bad things happen all the time, it doesn't mean that people have to get used to it.

"Isn't it that people gain strength to resist this unreasonable tragedy and become a natural 'habit'?"

【Do you want me to see that one day, the same thing happens to father, mother, Sasuke and even Itachi? 】

【Then what is the difference between this life and the past...】

"In the beginning, everyone thought so."

Shisui shook his head lightly.

"But when everyone has the power to protect themselves, they will find that there will always be someone stronger than them to force them to accept this habit. If you keep exploring, people will not be able to continue living. You are born brave Others are much stronger, and may not be able to understand the pain of being powerless in the face of man-made disasters like natural disasters..."

The sound of Zhishui stopped abruptly.

Because Giyuu turned his head suddenly and looked at him with an incredible look, as if there was a huge loophole in his words.

Afterwards, Giyuu seemed to have remembered something, turned his head in a low voice, and only threw out a sentence like an oath.

"I'll find someone who does it."

He put his right hand on his waist, as if he was holding some invisible support, calm and solemn.

"Even if it costs your life, you have to do it."

Shisui opened his lips, not knowing how to comfort him, let alone how to explain to Itachi and Fuyue when he went back.

Because based on what he knew, the relationship between Yiyong and those two missing clansmen was far from reaching the point of discussing life and death.

Sure enough, Zhishui, who thought he understood what the child was thinking not long ago, once again encountered a new obstacle that he could not understand.

Now he only hopes that what Yiyong said was a moment of anger, after all, even he can't guarantee a result.

Just when he was feeling overwhelmed because he didn't know how to coax the child, a loud "wolf howl" from the forest broke the silence between the two.

Uchiha Shisui sighed with relief: "The helper is finally here!"

Giyuu looked in the direction where the howling sounded.

Thousands of birds are rushing out of the forest in the distance, and the tree crowns that have not been affected by the fire are shaking as if they are holding some welcome ceremony, like dark green waves rising and falling one after another, and the peaks of the waves It's getting closer and closer.

【So fast……】

As the idea of ​​righteousness rose, a large black and white beast jumped out of the dense forest like a ghostly phantom, and flew past three meters above the heads of Zhishui and Yiyong.

Its excellent speed brings heavy wind pressure, and the Uchiha's characteristic high collar is agitated.

After the big black dog wearing blindfolds passed the two of them, it landed on all fours arrogantly. It crouched down and made four long tracks above the layers of ashes. cordon.

A woman in a green vest is sitting straddling the back of this majestic big dog, with canine-tooth-shaped oil paint on both cheeks revealing her identity.

But because of the dog's poor way of landing, the surrounding area was already filled with smoke and dust, Yiyong, Zhishui, and this woman who appeared suddenly had to cover their mouth and nose and cough at the same time without saying a word.

"Heiwan, are you blind?! Kekekeke...how could you stop in such a ghostly place!"

The violent and hoarse female voice came from the smoke, and the way of speaking cursingly reminded Yoshiyuki of Immortal Kawasami.

"I've been blind in my right eye for a long time..."

The voice of the wolf dog is also very majestic.

Immediately afterwards, the newcomers spat out the ashes in their mouths at each other. After a long time, the smoke cleared and they stood still again.

"All right!"

That womanly man pinched her waist with one hand, and looked at Zhishui fiercely with her two slender eyes, "Is it because you interrupted my mission and asked me to come here?"

The wolfhound named Kuromaru also squatted down aggressively, looking at the two of them as if examining them.

It was as if the bad landing just now had never happened.

"Senior Claw, I am Uchiha Shisui, and this child is Yoshiyuki."

After Shisui nodded slightly, he said to Giyuu who was staring at Kuromaru, "This is Konoha's best detective expert, especially Senpai Ninja Inuzukazuka, and her partner, Kuromaru. .”

"Extraordinarily high tolerance?"

Giyuu is sure that he has never heard this word in the Uchiha clan, but judging from the fact that this woman is much stronger than the mother of "Konoha Top Ten"...

"Is it a particularly strong Jonin?"

"Well this..."

Shisui was just about to explain that the so-called "special" refers to the existence of a jonin who has outstanding abilities in a certain aspect, but Inuzuka Zuo has already laughed and interrupted: "Haha, what a talking brat! Not bad, you have better vision than that brat in my family."

Uchiha Shisui was shocked.

It was the first time he had heard people praise Yiyong for being able to speak.

"Boy," Inuzuka Zuo strode up to Yoshiyuki, "Do you like cats more or dogs?"

"..."

【Don't like...】

Giyuu can guess from her appearance and voice that she resembles Undead Chuan. If she says the wrong thing (that is, the truth), it is estimated that things will become quite troublesome.

If Wen and Yanhuo were still alive, every second wasted would make them more likely to die.

He stared into Inuzuka Zuo's eyes, did not answer this question, but seriously suggested: "Do business first."

Unexpectedly, instead of being angry, Inuzuka Zuo said loudly: "Good job, I also like the child who can distinguish between primary and secondary! You are very good."

She suddenly turned her head to look at Zhishui, "Little devil, why did you call me back from the Fire City? We traveled for a long time, and we only ate Bingliang pills along the way. You better have something important." thing!"

【Why did he become a child, and I became a kid instead...】

"It's like this, senior. I have two clansmen who disappeared while I was out on a mission. This is where the incident happened."

Shisui pointed to the surroundings, "But because of a big fire, most of the traces and smells were covered up, no matter whether it was the Hyuga clan or the other ninja dogs of the Inuzuka clan, there was nothing to gain. In the end, Qianjin suggested that you My partner, Kuromaru, has a more sensitive sense of smell than other ninja dogs, so I rashly sent a message asking you to come back."

"(Inuzuka) Hana's suggestion? I see."

Inuzuka Zuo sniffed at the fire, "Indeed, there is still a strong smell of ashes here, once Ninja Dog uses secret techniques, his sense of smell will probably be overwhelmed by this overly strong smell, and become extremely insensitive to other more subtle smells. Especially, the fire has only been extinguished for a long time, right?"

"Two days."

Shisui looked at Kuromaru, "I don't know about your..."

"It's been almost two days. Kuromaru is also a very special existence among Ninja Dogs. Its sense of smell is more than twice as fine as that of ordinary Ninja Dogs. There should be no problem with this level."

Inuzuka Zuo scratched the dog's head in agony, "But such a large venue is covered in ashes, you have to give me something to refer to the smell."

"Already prepared."

Shisui took out a blunt Kunai wrapped in cloth from his pocket, "This is one of the children's practice props that he has been using since he was a child."

Giyuu took a look and recognized the mark made by Fumi Uchiha.

"Um……"

Inuzuka Claw took the kunah and sniffed it, "The smell of sweat is very good, and there are exfoliated skin tissues, which are very suitable for tracking."

Then she put Kunai in front of Kuromaru, "Should be able to find it?"

Kuromaru's one-eyed glanced at the three of them, then wrinkled his nose, crazily absorbing the surrounding air, and screening similar odor molecules.

Giyuu opened the transparent world to watch its movements, and found that this big dog can actually condense chakra in the nasal cavity like a human being. I wonder if he can have an excellent sense of smell like Tanjiro if he does so...

Soon, Kuromaru buried his steps and walked towards the big crater blasted by Hao's fireball, followed closely by Yiyong.

Shisui was about to keep up, but was stopped by Inuzuka Zuo with his arm.

"Hey, a child can't calm down his emotions, but something big will happen. The missing person is very important to him, right?"

"Are you talking about bravery?"

Shisui followed Inuzukazume's gaze, and it was Giyuu's back that was getting further and further away, and explained, "He has always been much calmer than ordinary children."

"People can suppress themselves in terms of expressions and thoughts, and they don't even know what emotions they have, but the smells emitted by various chemical substances such as hormones and glands in the body cannot deceive people."

Inuzuka Zuo crossed his arms, "My nose tells me that the child is under great psychological pressure, and the smell on his body is really worrying and very complicated. Although he looks like a calm lake, But who knows if there is a dormant volcano under the lake.

"Children should express their emotions freely like puppies. If he continues like this, there will always be a day when he will vent..."

"Aww! Here!"

Kuromaru's howl came, interrupting Inuzuka Zuo's words.The two looked at each other without saying anything, and quickly came to a big tree with only half of its charred trunk left.

"The owner of the nian has been active in this area. Under the ashes, there are his skin tissues that have fallen off."

Kuromaru gave such a judgment.

Shisui nodded. He heard from Cui and Gan that Fumiya Uchiha was in charge of placing the detonating talisman, so it should be near here.However, the buried talisman paper was not found.

What a poor murderer, he didn't even let go of a few detonating symbols.

Ninja Dog's nose was firmly attached to the ground, like a vacuum cleaner, it continued to move along the trajectory that Yiyong couldn't see, and finally stopped five meters away from Hao Huoqiu's pit, with a trace of human dignity in his eyes .

"In the end he stayed here. In addition to the skin tissue, there is still a lot of blood left over here."

It glanced at Inuzuka Zuo, who thought for two seconds, then nodded to it, so Kuromaru continued: "From the amount of bleeding, it is enough to kill an adult on the spot."

Let alone a child.

So far, it has sentenced Uchiha Wen to death.

The eyes of the two adults were fixed on Giyuu's face at the same time.

The latter was unexpectedly calm, only lowered his eyelids for a second, then immediately returned to their original state, and then revealed an inquiring gaze.

"Shimizu, do you still have Uchiha Yanhuo on you?"

He paused, his voice was as cold as iron in the winter snow.

"Let's hurry up and find his whereabouts."
