Konoha's Thunder Flash Qingyu

A small river meanders out from the depths of the jungle, trickling through the green stones and washing away the dead branches and leaves that have fallen from the forest trees.

Qingyu knelt by the stream, scooped up the cool stream water with both hands, sprinkled it on his face and wiped it hard twice to relieve some fatigue. Then he immediately stood up and walked to a bluestone by the river to sit down.

"Kakashi, we can't move forward rashly now. If we don't find the right direction, we will be farther away from those three people." Qingyu said to Kakashi who was standing aside.

"What you said is true, but they have been moving forward. We have no other way but to track their original direction! Why don't we go back and interrogate that ninja?" Kakashi said.

"No, going back now will delay more time, and based on the performance of the previous person, he may have been imprinted with a secret seal." Qingyu rejected the proposal, and then he suddenly asked: "What do you know? A spiritual contract beast?"

Kakashi was startled by Aoyu's question, but he immediately reacted and spread his hands helplessly: "I learned the seal technique, but my father said that I would not sign the contract until I became a ninja, so I couldn't summon the psychic. beast."

"That's it!" Qingyu felt a little regretful, but immediately asked: "Can you do shadow clones?"

"Uh, I haven't learned yet." Kakashi was a little embarrassed, as if he hadn't done anything to help.

"Hiss..." Qingyu felt a little pain in his head. These were the two methods he thought of first, but they were all blocked.

Is there no other way? He thought to himself. After thinking for a while, the analysis in my mind gradually became clearer and I made a decision.

"Kakashi, the valley where we went for an outing is about 6 kilometers away from the village. It's not that far. We kidnapped students from the ninja school here. Once they were discovered, with the speed of the jounin in the village, they were almost there in a short time. You will be overtaken within a short period of time." Qingyu expressed his analysis.

"So, they have the following choices: first, keep running away, but they are still taking two little girls with them, so they will definitely be caught up, so this option is unlikely; second, sneak back to the wood secretly Ye hides, but this one is even more impossible, because this forest is very dangerous for them now, and they may be discovered by the ninjas supported by the village at some time, so this one is also unlikely.

"Based on these analyses, it can be said that they will never escape from the Land of Fire. But why do they dare to take action? The only possibility is," Qingyu paused for a moment before speaking, and then continued with a stern look in his eyes: "It is that they are in the Fire Country." There are secret strongholds in the country, or there are internal agents who can help them hide their identities."

"But how to find this place?" Kakashi asked after listening to Qingyu's analysis.

"I'm not too sure about this." Qingyu lowered his head and muttered. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. He immediately stood up and scanned the surrounding woods. Then he saw a towering tree on the right that exceeded the surrounding trees. His eyes suddenly stopped. One light.

He quickly ran under the giant tree, mobilized his chakra, and ten seconds later, he rushed to the top of the tree. Then he broke the dense branches and leaves of the tree crown, jumped up to the top of the tree with all his strength.

Looking around from the top of the tallest tree in the surrounding forest, the sky wind is passing by, and the forest branches and leaves are surging, just like the forest sea is churning up layers of waves, rushing towards the north like a mountain. In the northwest of the forest, a large river rushed from southwest to northeast. The white rapids surged, and the mighty rushing sound reached Qingyu's ears like thunder.

Qingyu looked happy, and after checking the surrounding terrain again, he immediately jumped off the top of the tree and landed in front of Kakashi.

"What did you find?" Kakashi asked with a look of expectation on his face when he saw Qingyu's happy expression.

"I know our current location. The valley where we are hiking is located in the northwest of the village. This forest is directly north of the valley. The direction of our previous pursuit has been northwest." Qingyu said this and smiled confidently. He said firmly: "But, we should change the direction next and pursue from the northeast."

"How do you know we should pursue them from the northeast? Did you sense them?" Kakashi asked doubtfully.

"No, but I have evidence. I have borrowed maps around Konoha from the library before, and I checked them carefully on the top of the tree just now, so I know where we are now. To the west of this forest is a road The river flows from southwest to northeast. Across the river, there is a large plain area, and on the edge of the plain farther away are dense mountains. To the southwest of the forest is a large area of ​​hills. So they brought them with them before The path we took, I think was taken on purpose, to hide their true path.

"There are three pieces of evidence: First, if they really want to run away from the northwest direction, even if they can cross the fast-flowing river, their tracks will be easily traced by anyone in the vast plains that are more than ten kilometers long behind the river. The tracking ninja discovered that there was no way to escape; secondly, the ninja we knocked down earlier had no food to replenish his physical strength except his ninja bag, not even military food pills.

"Of course, it is possible that other people took away his food, but I have said before that if they want to escape a long distance, they will definitely be caught up, so it is impossible for them to make such a decision, so there is no point in taking away his food. , Therefore, they must find a place to replenish food; third, as I said before, they must need a place to hide their identity to escape the village’s tracking.

"Combining these factors, there is only one place they want to go, a place where they can both replenish food and hide their identity - Maejo Town, a small town located twelve kilometers due north of Konoha, with a dense population. It fully meets these conditions." Qingyu finished all his deductions calmly.

Kakashi looked at Aoyu with admiration. He didn't fully understand Aoyu's reasoning, but he still found it powerful, well-founded and admirable.

"Okay, let's go!" He nodded and agreed to Qingyu's proposal.

The two men immediately turned around and chased toward the northeast. It had already taken them more than ten minutes to deal with the ninja and think about it, so they both started running at full speed.

----------

Twenty minutes ago, Konoha Intelligence Department.

This is a five-story building located a hundred meters east of the Hokage's office. It is surrounded by high walls, blocking all outside prying eyes.

The outer wall of the small building is gray and yellow, and the cracks spreading on the stucco wall add heavy traces of time to the building. The small building is located in the center of the wall, surrounded by an unobstructed withered yellow grassland without any trees. This is a special regulation of the Intelligence Department.

With a sound of "Pulling", a psychic bird and beast with brown body and short yellow beak flew down from the air and landed directly in the pigeon courtyard of the Intelligence Department. A middle-aged ninja immediately stepped forward and removed the bindings from the bird's feet. with information newspaper.

After taking a look at the red 'x' mark smeared on the note, he immediately rushed to the Hokage's office eagerly.

Half a minute later, Hiruzen Sarutobi in Hokage robes was holding the note and looking at it, his wrinkled forehead was clouded, his face suddenly darkened, and his eyes were extremely cold.

"Go and call Tsunade and give her this note as well." He said to a messenger in the office, and then handed him the note.

"Go and call Inuzuka Jiu." After giving one order, he gave another order to the other messenger ninja, who immediately walked out of the office to deliver the notice.

Three minutes later, the beautiful blond woman rushed into the Hokage's office. Her charming face was extremely anxious: "Old man, what's going on? Why was Xueying taken away?"

Behind her were two middle-aged men. One of them, a white-haired man with two red marks on his cheeks and a gray coat, was Jiraiya. The other man was a black-haired man with two red fangs-like patterns painted on his face, and a big dog followed him.

"It's still unclear who did it, so I need you to track it down and capture a few alive and bring them back for torture." Sarutobi Hiruzen replied coldly and solemnly. This incident made him extremely angry. The enemy could actually know the whereabouts of the Ninja School students accurately, which showed that the opponent must have been lurking in Konoha for a long time, or had other internal agents.

There are spies lurking so deep in Konoha, and there may even be jounin-level combat capabilities. This is a direct challenge to Konoha's majesty.

"Old man, how did you become the Hokage? You didn't even know about the existence of unknown enemies around the village." Tsunade shouted angrily. If Jiraiya hadn't pulled her, maybe Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk would have been there. It was torn apart by her.

The reason why she was so angry was entirely because her lover and brother had lost their lives as Konoha ninjas. If her niece died accidentally again, she would definitely go crazy.

"Tsunade, calm down first. According to the intelligence, the other party deceived Xueying into a secret place before taking her away. It can be seen that the other party had some purpose in taking Xueying. Therefore, based on the current situation, Say, she is still alive." Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at this disciple who was about to go berserk with a headache, and could only try to say something nice to calm her anger.

"Okay, don't waste any more time. Now, I order you and Jiu to hunt down these unknown enemies. With Jiu and the ninja dog's sense of smell, you can quickly find the traces of the other party." Sarutobi Hiruzen paused. Seeing that Tsunade was almost losing her mind, she looked at Jiraiya again, "Forget it, Jiraiya, you go along too! Watch Tsunade carefully."

"Don't worry! Old man, I will watch her and won't let her mess around." Jiraiya said with a grin.

"Hmph!" Tsunade snorted coldly and turned to leave.

"Hokage-sama, Jonin Namikaze comes to submit a mission report." A gentle male voice came from outside the door.

"Oh, it's Minato! Come in!" the third generation said loudly.

"Hey! Mr. Jiraiya, Master Tsunade, Senior Nine, why are you here? What happened?" A handsome man with blond hair walked into the office and asked in surprise when he saw the scene in front of him.

"Minato, let the old man explain it to you in detail! We are in a hurry." Jiraiya said loudly.

"Hey! Boy." Tsunade's delicate face was tense at first, but when she saw Minato, her eyes suddenly lit up and she hurriedly called him, "That jutsu, yes, Flying Thunder God, how are you doing with your practice?"

"I just succeeded in practicing it last month, and I'm still perfecting it." Minato scratched his head and replied with some embarrassment.

"Successful! Do you have a mark outside the village? How many people can you bring with you?" Tsunade asked the question quickly and impatiently.

"Yes, there is. It was left behind when I was practicing before, but the distance is not far, only two kilometers outside the village. Now I can barely take three people with me." Namikaze Minato saw Tsunade's anxious expression and realized The matter was critical and he answered her immediately.

"Great, throw your mission report to the old man, and you can fly us out of the village quickly." Tsunade asked with a happy face.

"This..." Namikaze Minato looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen hesitantly. He didn't immediately ask what happened, because seeing Tsunade's current state, if he dared to delay her time, he might not be able to withstand her anger.

"Forget it, Minato, just listen to Tsunade! Go with them." The third generation waved his hands helplessly. Seeing Tsunade's madness in desperately trying to rescue Senju Yueying, he was afraid that if he didn't agree, she might really tear down his office.

"Yes!" Namikaze Minato agreed, submitted the mission report, and then said to the three Tsunade people: "Tsunade-sama, Jiraiya-sensei, and Kyu-senpai, please hold my hand."

After the preparations were completed, he said to the third generation: "I'm sorry, Hokage-sama." Then with a 'whoosh', the four of them disappeared in front of the third generation.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up, faced the window, held the pipe in his right hand, and slowly blew out a puff of white smoke, but his eyes became colder and colder.
