Keisuke Umino is a very arrogant person and doesn't hide his tracks at all.

Even Miwa Masayo could easily distinguish that there were five targets, including a four-man team, which should be the configuration of a special jonin and three genin, and the other was the puppeteer guarded by the four-man team.

The configuration of the four-man team should be the same as the one that Uchiha You destroyed, so it won't be difficult to kill them.

But the puppeteer is not simple. The traces he left behind prove that his physical skills are very strong, at least reaching the level of a regular jonin in the Sand Village. In addition to two puppets of different types but absolutely excellent, the puppeteer may have the combat power equivalent to three jonins, and he is worthy of being the son of Ebizo.

But in Uchiha Yu's memory, Keisuke Umino did not leave any reputation. It was probably because he was unlucky and was killed in the war before he could make a name for himself.

Uchiha You sneered, his luck was indeed bad, he couldn't even catch up with the war this time, he was going to be gone.

The pursuit lasted all night long. In the darkest hour before dawn, Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masaya caught up with the Sand Village ninjas and saw the bonfire they had lit on the opposite hillside from the top of the mountain.

The Sand Village ninja ignored two ninja bans. The first was that bonfires could not be lit in the open air late at night, and the second was that no more than two people could sit around a bonfire.

The ban may be unreasonable or even inhumane, but every ban is a bloody lesson.

After being illuminated by the bonfire, Uchiha You could observe enough information with his Sharingan even across the entire valley.

"The special jonin of the four-man team is good at wind jutsu. One of the three genin is a puppeteer, but the puppets are made of ordinary hardwood. They are very poor."

"So this puppeteer is weak, meow?"

"Well, ordinary wood will catch fire easily. We can completely ignore him. The other puppeteer actually has three puppets, and they are all imitations of Bunzaemon Chikamatsu Juninshu."

"Tsk tsk, the simulation is extraordinary, and the material is top-notch. This is not something that money can buy. He is definitely Keisuke Umino."

"Who's the sixth ninja, meow?"

The Sand Village Ninja team had one more ninja. He sat with Keisuke Umino, enjoying the hot water, fresh wild fruits, and the service of the Genin.

Obviously, the newly emerged ninja is of the same status as Keisuke Umino, and is at least a jonin.

With the new jonin joining the team, the combat power of the Sand Village ninjas increased by about one third.

A Jonin is a heavy weight, and its influence on the outcome of a battle must be taken seriously by the Kage. The idea of ​​giving up began to emerge in Uchiha You's mind.

But as soon as such thoughts appeared, they would be burned out by anger. The weight of the Jonin was heavy, but not enough to change his decision. It could only make him choose the time more carefully.

But the first change that Uchiha You waited for was bad news.

When the sky was bright, another Sand Village ninja joined the team. He walked directly to Keisuke Umino and another Jonin, and the three of them tacitly formed a three-person team formation.

The new ninja's posture, movements, and everyone's obedience to him allowed Uchiha Yu to judge that this was a senior jonin whose seniority and combat power were higher than Keisuke Umino's.

Uchiha Yuu and Miwa Masaya were in a heavy mood, as their target consisted of three jonin and one special jonin, whose strength far exceeded their expectations, and they had no confidence in defeating the four jonin.

Miwa Masayo asked: "What should we do, meow?"

Uchiha You replied: "Follow them, and then...it depends on the specific situation."

Before the war officially started, there were very few missions that required more than five ninjas to perform, so it was a very unusual situation for seven ninjas to gather together.

Furthermore, it is even more inappropriate for three Jonins to form a team when the Genin and Chunin have not suffered massive losses.

Uchiha You judged that this group of Sand Ninjas were probably just meeting temporarily, and it wouldn't be long before they would disperse and leave to carry out their respective tasks.

A powerful puppeteer like Keisuke Umino can better exert his combat effectiveness when acting alone.

Uchiha Yu guessed right.

After the Sand Village ninja finished their simple breakfast, a four-man team left first, heading south in a search formation.

After a while, a jonin left alone and headed north at a very fast speed, leaving only the later jonin and Keisuke Umino by the campfire.

Although Kaino Keisuke was not alone, Uchiha You was already very satisfied. He said happily: "The opportunity has come. When those ninjas go far away, we will take action."

"Miwa Masayo, you take care of that jonin who comes later, I'll go kill Umino Keisuke, and then we'll surround and kill your opponent together."

"No problem, meow."

Just as they were happily preparing for battle, a sharp cry came from the sky. It was the cry of a swift eagle. Two Sand Ninjas who were still resting and talking immediately stood up.

After Swift Eagle left, the higher-ranking jonin fired three flares without hesitation, which exploded into three balls of red, white and black smoke in the sky.

Uchiha You knew that it was the emergency signal of the Sand Village, but these signals were like passwords, they were all temporarily determined and used for a limited time, and outsiders could not know what they meant specifically.

But this time was different. He quickly understood the meaning of the emergency signal. It was an emergency assembly order for the Sand Village ninjas.

All the Sand Village ninjas who left returned as quickly as possible. There was even a new Sand Village team, a three-person team led by a Chunin.

The ups and downs of the situation made Uchiha You lose his temper and he rarely swore.

"Puppeteer Umino Keisuke, two jonin, one tokujo, one chuunin, and five genin."

Uchiha You found that there was no saliva in his mouth. He took out the kettle and took a sip. He said in a dry voice: "I don't know if I can eat it."

Miwa Masayo could hear Uchiha Yuu's worry, and even more so his determination: "Do you really want to fight?"

Uchiha You said decisively: "Fight! We must fight!"

Miwa Masayo had already seen Uchiha Yu's determination, but when she heard him confirm it in person, she was still frightened and her face changed drastically.

Although only one ninja team was added, these three people happened to be a qualitative change in the number of people. The Sand Village Ninja has assembled ten ninjas, which has formed an order of magnitude advantage for her and Uchiha Yu.

What's more, the enemy has four jonin, so they have an advantage in quality.

In Miwa Masayo's opinion, it is time to consider retreating.

But Uchiha You unexpectedly refused to give up: "We have already chased here. Whether we can win is one thing, but if you leave without fighting, I will definitely be upset."

In fact, the reason for insisting on fighting was not only because of the threat of the inner demon, but the most important reason was that there was a vague voice in Uchiha You's heart shouting: Victory! !

Uchiha You's experience of success from absorbing natural energy and following his body's feelings and inspiration made him finally decide to go against the true meaning of Gou Dao and take the initiative to start a battle without 90% certainty.

The chance of victory this time may be only 50%, which is too low, really too low.

"The chances of victory are too low, and even if I win by chance, I can't wipe them out completely."

"I need to disguise myself so they can't see me like this."

Uchiha You handed over everything related to his identity to Miwa Masayo, and then used natural energy to twist his facial muscles, turning himself into a square-faced man with black contact lenses stuffed into his eyes.

The disguise was just the base. He put on the same black mask as Kakashi and the same goggles as Obito for a secondary disguise.

After thinking for a while, he took out three more masks and carefully put them over the goggles.

I finally feel relieved.
