After a quarrel and reconciliation.
Everyone felt that the atmosphere had eased up a lot.
At least Chiyo had chosen not to look at Uehara with hostile eyes, and there was even some respect and appreciation.
This young ninja had the stubbornness of a small country ninja village and could recognize the value of peace. It also had to be said that he was also very powerful.
No wonder Baki once said that Fourth Kazekage wanted to recruit him. Unfortunately, Fourth Kazekage was not strong enough. Not only did he not capture Uehara, but he also died under his hands.
"Then let's go to the Land of Birds and search!"
Kakashi began to divide the search areas of everyone present according to the layout of the Land of Birds. At the same time, he also had to be responsible for taking account of their combat strength, "We will be divided into two teams, namely me, Naruto, Sai, Sakura, Chiyo-dono, and Temari for Team One; Guy, Lee, Neji, Tenten, and Uehara forms the second team.
According to Kakashi's understanding of everyone, his strength distribution was extremely reasonable. He guaranteed that every team would have a certain degree of strength when they met Akatsuki's members.
After Kakashi planned out all the routes for the two teams, he said in a low voice, "We will search along this route for a day and meet here;
If the first team encountered an enemy, they would immediately move toward the second team's search route. The same situation would happen to the second team;
If the first team did not appear that night, the second team would immediately support them according to the previous route. "
"Clear?"
Everyone nodded in unison.
There was no problem with the plan that Kakashi had formulated.
After they split up, Uehara followed Guy's team to the south of the Land of Grass to search for Akatsuki's members.
As for whether they could find it or not...
It was utter nonsense. How could they not find it?
According to the plan set up by Uehara and Konan; Deidara, Sasori, and Nagato, who were in charge of escorting Kazekage as villains, should not have moved out yet.
Uehara would find a chance and report Kakashi's team's route to Nagato.
After all, they have Guy on his side. According to Uehara's estimation, if Guy opened the eighth gate, he would be able to kick Nagato to death.
What Almighty Push? What Planetary Devastation?
Those techniques were useless against Guy.
Guy and Team Three did their best in their search, but they were still mainly relying on Neji's eyes.
As for Uehara, he would fly into the air from time to time to investigate, and then he would come back to collect a glass of iced juice from Tenten.
Moreover, Tenten's voice was pleasant, and she was very cute. If she didn't have any romantic thoughts, she seemed to be able to talk to anyone.
To be honest, this kind of life was a little leisurely.
At night.
After the search, the third and seventh teams met up in a small village. Everyone was not in a good mood because they found nothing this time.
Uehara comforted them and said that they would definitely gain something the next day. After all, the whole Land of Birds was not big.
If the Akatsuki organization really had a base in the Land of Birds, they would soon find the two powerful ninjas teams active in the Land of Birds. They would definitely alert the enemy and force the Akatsuki organization to show up directly.
There was truth in what Uehara said.
The next day, Guy and his group searched along the established route. Kakashi and his group finally found traces of Deidara, a member of Akatsuki's organization.
Chiyo recognized Deidara, who had invaded Sunagakure at a glance. She said in a deep voice, "It was that guy who captured Fifth Kazekage!"
"Okay!"
Kakashi nodded, then ordered his men, "Sai, you are in charge of tracking. We will follow your trail. Temari, you go find Guy's team and ask them to move closer to our position!"
"Clear!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Sai waved his hand and drew a bird on the scroll. He then formed a seal with his hand and said in a deep voice, "Ninpō, Chōjū Giga(Ninja Art: Super Beast Imitating Drawing)!"
The next moment, Sai rode on the bird and rushed in the direction of Deidara!
The seventh Team and Chiyo stood beneath Sai and Deidara's birds, each leaping in pursuit of Deidara.
The battle of pursuit began.
Deidara stood on his giant clay bird and looked at his bird regretfully, "It's a pity that I don't have enough time. Otherwise, I would definitely be able to squeeze out a giant dragon as big as that Uehara fellow!"
Although Konoha and Suna Ninja were chasing closely behind him, Deidara did not panic at all because he would soon arrive at their rendezvous point, where he would have two reinforcements.
Soon, Deidara's speed plummeted.
Sai, who was riding a painting bird, slowed down at the same time and fired a signal bullet at Kakashi, indicating that he had caught up with the enemy.
"Kamui..."
Kakashi finally found an opportunity. Taking advantage of Deidara's reduced speed, he used his Kamui Sharingan to absorb Deidara's body!
However, a dazzling light interrupted his movements!
A laser cannon shot out from the depths of the forest directly hit their feet. Everyone involuntarily flew backward!
At the same time.
A black magnetic and golden sand wave surrounded them from both sides wanting to bury this small team chasing after Deidara!
"There's an ambush!"
Kakashi's expression changed. He instantly controlled Kamui to change the target and absorb a large amount of magnetic metal, striving for a breakthrough.
Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura, and Chiyo hurriedly jumped out of the gap, avoiding the encirclement of the magnetic metal.
Chiyo's face was hideous. She slowly took out her puppet scroll and said in a deep voice, "One of them is Sasori..."
"The identity of the other person is unknown."
Kakashi pulled his Ninja forehead protector and whispered, "But I have seen him fight in the Country of Grass. Although he only attacks once, his strength is not to be underestimated since he might be... Obito's partner!"
This matter could not be blamed on Kakashi.
After all, when Nagato appeared, he usually wore a hat, and he always followed another person wearing a hat.
In the few times they met, Kakashi found that the two ninjas wearing a hat rarely acted. It was like the higher-ups of the Akatsuki organization were supervising the battles of other members.
The identity of the one wearing the hat was not ordinary.
His strength was definitely higher than the average member.
Sure enough.
"Shurado (Asura Path)!"
Nagato slowly walked out of the forest, and an arm inexplicably grew out of his back. This arm gradually turned into a string of missiles, shooting towards Konoha's group!
"Doton, Doryūheki (Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall)!"
Kakashi quickly closed his palm to form a hand seal!
A tall wall with a dog head appeared before the missile, instantly blocking all the attacks. The entire wall instantly became tattered.
However, Nagato's attack did not stop at all. The mechanical arm continued to transform, once again transforming into a laser cannon, directly shooting through the Earth Release, Earth-style Wall's defense!
The laser cannon directly hit Kakashi!
"Kakashi-sensei!"
Just as everyone was panicking, they saw that Kakashi had turned into a cloud of smoke and dissipated, just an ordinary shadow clone!
The next moment, Kakashi's figure suddenly appeared under Nagato's feet. This white-haired ninja waved his kunai and stabbed Nagato's neck!
"Interesting..."
Nagato, who was hidden under a hat, curled his lips. His palm quickly blocked Kakashi's kunai, and he punched Kakashi's arm!
In just a few seconds, Nagato directly broke Kakashi's defense with physical skills, and his hand instantly grabbed Kakashi's neck!
Although Nagato had only recovered for a few years, this did not mean that he had fallen behind in terms of physical skills. After all, he was a genius that Jiraiya had personally acknowledged!
No, it could be said that he was a monster!
Kakashi bent down to avoid Nagato's palm, and just as he was about to launch another attack, Nagato kicked him in the abdomen, directly sending him flying!
"Your flaws are obvious."
In the next second, Nagato suddenly retracted his foot and chuckled, "Is it a lightning clone? Where is the real you? It doesn't matter anymore..."
"Of course it's behind!"
Kakashi jumped out of the ground again, his hand flashing with lightning as he was about to pierce Nagato's chest. "Raikiri (Lightning Cutter)!"
There was no panic on Nagato's face, but his whole body suddenly shook, and a powerful repulsive force directly sent Kakashi flying. Whether it was Kakashi's Thunder Clone or his real body, they were both directly sent flying by Nagato!
Nagato looked at Kakashi, who was sent flying, and suddenly stretched out his palm. A gravitational force appeared from his palm, directly sucking Kakashi to fly toward him involuntarily!
"What the hell is going on?"
Kakashi's forehead was full of sweat!
In the last second, he was directly sent flying by an inexplicable force. His body seemed to have been repulsed, but a moment later, he was pulled back!
His body was completely out of his control!
Kakashi's heart was greatly shaken, but he could only watch helplessly as the enemy caught his neck!
After seeing this scene, Sai relied on his aerial advantage to dive directly towards Nagato and Kakashi, wanting to save him.
However, the black magnetic iron bars directly shot through the giant bird under Sai, forcing Sai to turn over and land to avoid the attack!
Sasori slowly walked out and stood next to Nagato, "Although it is not the first time I have seen you fight, every time I see you fight, I feel a little amazed. As expected of someone valued by the leader..."
Nagato pinched Kakashi's neck, threw him on the ground, and slowly sighed, "I just haven't experienced such an interesting battle in a long time."
