The roots moved very quickly, and appeared again in the evening, taking away all the captives.
So far, Shuichi Hoshita and his team have successfully completed their mission.
Although it was already night, Minato Namikaze decided to set off back to Konoha.
However, before leaving, he said to Shuichi Hoshita and the other two: "The next is a small test for you."
"I will set off first later, and you will set off in half an hour, and you must accurately track my traces."
Shuichi Hoshita and the other two looked at each other and nodded in unison: "Yes, Minato teacher."
Minato Namikaze nodded and disappeared immediately.
Watching Minato Namikaze disappear in the forest, after waiting for half an hour, Shuichi Hoshita and the other two immediately set out to track him.
Unless Minato Namikaze uses Flying Thunder God, he will leave many traces.
In this dense forest, people often use branches for leverage.
Hideichi Hoshita and the other two followed the traces of leverage left by Minato Namikaze on the branches.
However, the three stopped after 5 minutes.
Because there were four sets of traces in front of them.
"Three real shadow clones..."
Kurama Sanyo scratched his head. In the dark night, it was really difficult to distinguish the differences between the four marks.
"Are we trying our luck?"
"Each of us chooses a direction and then uses a shadow clone."
Both he and Uchiha Shisui have mastered the technique of shadow clones.
Uchiha Shisui shook his head after hearing this: "Our shadow clones are definitely not as good as Minato teacher, and may not be able to hold on until they find something wrong."
Hideichi Hoshita nodded in agreement, then reached out to touch the marks and felt them carefully.
Then Uchiha Shisui did the same.
After the two of them finished the test, Kurama Sanyo also reached out to touch it, then looked up and asked: "Did you find any difference?"
Uchiha Shisui looked at Hoshita Shuichi and smiled: "Shuichi, what do you think?"
Hoshita Shuichi pointed to the group of marks on the far left and smiled: "Although Minato teacher has been very careful, the stay time is different, the marks left will naturally be different, although very subtle."
Kurama Sanyo couldn't help reaching out to touch it again, but still couldn't feel it, so he looked at Uchiha Shisui.
Uchiha Shisui nodded and smiled: "Shuichi, you have a talent for tracking."
"I can feel a little bit by relying on the insight of the Sharingan, but I can't be very sure."
Kurama Sanyo said: "Then choose the far left?"
"Will it be too risky?"
Uchiha Shisui shook his head: "We should trust our feelings."
Hoshita Shuichi agreed very much: "I think so too."
"Then the far left!"
Kurama Sanyo left first, and Hoshita Shuichi and Uchiha Shisui followed immediately.
However, 10 minutes later, they had to make a choice again, although this time there were only two sets of marks.
But after observing, Shuichi Hoshita and Uchiha Shisui looked solemn.
It's hard to judge.
Most likely, Namikaze Minato deliberately left the main body first, and the shadow clone stayed for a while, making the existence time of the two sets of marks more subtle.
The two looked at each other, and then followed the two sets of traces for a distance before returning.
Uchiha Shisui said: "The right set of traces looks like it leads to a river."
Hoshita Shuichi said decisively: "That's the right side."
Kurama Sanyo also nodded in agreement: "Rivers are easier to get rid of, especially smells and bloodstains."
There are many canine summoning beasts in the ninja world, such as the famous Inuzuka clan in Konoha.
Then the three of them followed all the way to the right and indeed came to the river.
Then the three of them split up and followed the traces upstream and downstream, as well as on the other side of the river.
After a while, the three of them returned to the reunion and followed the traces downstream of the river.
Minato Namikaze actually went back!
In this way, Hoshita Shuichi and the other two kept looking for the most likely traces from various interference traces, and sometimes there would be a large vacuum, and no traces could be found, so they could only expand the search range.
After going around in circles, when the three were almost exhausted, they finally saw Konoha and Minato Namikaze standing on a tree branch with a smile on his face.
"Congratulations, you are absolutely right."
Minato Namikaze smiled.
Although the speed was a bit slow, it was enough to show the excellence of the three.
Yes, in fact, he had a shadow clone who had been following Shuichi Hoshita and the other two, and he had always seen their performance.
Shuiichi Hoshita and the other two also smiled at the moment. They had gained a lot from the tracking that night.
Especially for Shuichi Hoshita, whether it was the nutrition he got from Uchiha Shisui or Kurama Sanyo, or the tracking itself, it released his tracking talent and allowed his improved trace sensitivity to be brought into play.
Realizing the talent, absorbing the nutrition of companions, and accumulating experience, three birds with one stone!
Namikaze Minato announced: "Okay, let's go back to the village, have a good sleep today, and gather at the old place tomorrow!"
The four of them immediately entered the village, and then dispersed and went back to their homes.
After returning home, Hoshita Shuichi first washed up, and then made himself a breakfast. After eating, he reviewed this mission and the tracking last night, and then he didn't fall asleep happily.
This sleep lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon.
After washing up, Hoshita Shuichi went out to eat a bowl of Ichiraku Ramen, and then came to Konoha Hospital.
"Shuiyi?"
Seeing Hoshita Shuichi, Pharmacist Nono was a little surprised.
"Dean!"
Hiroshita Hideichi stepped forward quickly and explained, "I came back this morning and had a good sleep."
Pharmacist Nono nodded gently, "Then follow me. Tsunade-sama is here today and will consult a patient."
Hiroshita Hideichi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded and followed.
Tsunade has hemophobia, and it is rare for her to come to the hospital.
However, can psychological hemophobia be treated with illusion?
…
Hiroshita Hideichi stayed in Konoha Hospital until half past four, and then left, and then came to the place where he trained with Kakashi and others during the previous holiday.
"Huh?"
Hiroshita Hideichi saw a figure hanging on the cliff.
Kakashi!
Speaking of which, this was the first time he had seen Kakashi since graduation.
It must happen!
After Kakashi came down from the cliff, Shuichi Hoshita immediately challenged him: "Kakashi, you haven't slacked off during this period, have you?"
Kakashi was still cool and said easily: "You'll know after a try."
If it was Uchiha Obito, he would definitely say something venomous.
However, Shuichi Hoshita's self-discipline and hard work made him feel inferior, so they could only see who was better with their hands and feet.
10 minutes later.
The two of them confronted each other, their fists and feet collided, and a wave of air was raised.
At the moment of the collision, the two felt that the other's speed and strength had increased.
Kakashi knew that Shuichi Hoshita had extraordinary insight and reaction ability, and an amazing memory, and was very clear about his past fighting habits, so he fought fast with fast, as fast as he could.
So, the sound of fists and feet colliding suddenly became dense.
The two fought all the way into the river, and then from the river to the foot of the cliff, and then used the cliff as the ground, fighting endlessly as if walking on flat ground.
When Shizune, Kai, Yuhi Kurenai, Sarutobi Asuma and others arrived, they saw this scene.
