Chapter 87: The real black hand hidden behind the scenes

The progress of the bamboo raft!

It is faster than Fujiwara Tetsuya expected!

Fortunately!

The wind direction today! The wind speed is good!

There is no need to worry about the situation of headwind and waves!

"Tetsuya! The trace of the axle is gone!"

After crossing the lake!

All the traces seen before! All disappeared without a trace!

Even though Team 13 carefully searched along the shore of the lake for a long time!

They still failed to find any clues!

"Tetsuya-kun! Do you want to continue searching forward!"

Gradually! Uchiha Mikoto! Uta-ne Hisa! The Aburame Woodman gathered around Fujiwara Tetsuya!

In his eyes! Although there was a bit of caution!

But there was no intention of retreating!

"Chase! But not now!"

"Since that Rain Ninja can eliminate all traces!"

"That means! They have already met the Rain Ninja ninjas who came to support them!"

"The enemy we are going to face next! Maybe it will be more difficult than what the intelligence from the Oboro Jonin said!"

"Everyone take a three-hour break!"

"Wait until it gets completely dark! We will chase westward!"

According to the opponent's speed!

They are not far away from the Rain Ninja team in front!

If they run at full speed! They can catch up with the opponent in two hours at most!

However!

Looking at the sky in the distance!

Fujiwara Tetsuya's expression became extremely serious!

Ahead! The border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain! Not far away!

As time passed!

The sky in the distance gradually darkened!

After a bonfire was lit!

Since the Thirteenth Squad left Konoha!

Finally, they had a hot rice ball!

Although it was a bit chewy! But it didn't affect the mood of the four people eating!

...

Night! Although it had a significant impact on the vision!

But the dark night! It also provided a lot of shelter for Fujiwara Tetsuya and the other four!

The chances of the four people being discovered were greatly reduced!

However! Some things were beyond the expectations of ordinary people!

According to Fujiwara Tetsuya's estimation!

As early as an hour and a half ago!

They should have run into the team of the Rain Village!

But! After they searched everywhere!

They didn't find any trace of that team!

"Tetsuya! We searched in the north! No trace of the Rain Village was found!"

"We also searched in the south! There was no discovery either!"

Under the cover of the night!

The expressions of the four people gradually became ugly!

"Tetsuya-kun! Could it be that the ninjas of the Rain Village were traveling overnight!"

"So they distanced themselves from us!"

"Why don't we continue to search westward for a distance!"

On the side! Tatsune Ryoi stood on tiptoe and came to Fujiwara Tetsuya's face!

She seemed to want to comfort Fujiwara Tetsuya!

However! At this time, Fujiwara Tetsuya obviously didn't have this intention!

"No! We can't go west anymore!"

"Maybe! We are wrong! Senior Oboro and the others are also wrong!"

After a while of thinking!

Fujiwara Tetsuya's eyes suddenly flashed with a few lights!

Obviously he figured something out!

"Tetsuya! What do you mean by this?"

"Did you discover something?"

Fujiwara Tetsuya's words! Immediately attracted the attention of the three people!

It also made Uchiha Mikoto, who had just glanced at Tatsune Ryoi,

instantly retract her eyes!

"That's right! There is a discovery!"

"No! It should be said that there is a new speculation!"

Facing the eyes of the three people!

Fujiwara Tetsuya suddenly took out a topographic map from his arms!

It marked the mountains, rivers and rivers in the nearby area! And the large and small passages in various places!

"Actually! We are all blinded by preconceived notions!"

"Because we learned from the jonin Oboro that the culprit behind the looting of the goods in Shufeng City was a ninja from the Hidden Rain Village!"

"So! We'll head west! Completely rule out other possibilities!"

"Tetsuya! You don't need to look at us! Just keep talking!"

Looking at the look Fujiwara Tetsuya cast at him!

Aburame Kimitsu was still a little confused!

Obviously he didn't understand what Fujiwara Tetsuya meant!

As for Uchiha Mikoto! Uta-ne Ryoi! They also lowered their eyes one after another!

It seems that because they couldn't help Fujiwara Tetsuya! They also had some other thoughts!

"Okay! I'll tell you right away!"

At the urging of Aburame Kimitsu!

Fujiwara Tetsuya could only sigh helplessly!

You know!

Using your brain for this kind of thing! But it's very tiring!

"According to my guess! The culprit behind the looting of the goods in Shufeng City was not someone from the Hidden Rain Village!"

"Even ifWe really chased them to the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain!"

"We won't get any traces!"

"Not from the Rain Village?"

"But! The Jonin Oboro clearly said..."

"Wait, Tetsuya-kun! You mean! Someone pretended to be a ninja from the Hidden Rain Village and looted the goods in the Castle of Shuofeng?"

At this time!

Uchiha Mikoto! Aburame Bokuto! Utane Hisaie all seemed to understand something!

"Tetsuya! We understand what you mean!"

"But, who sent these ninjas pretending to be from the Hidden Rain Village!"

"Also! What is their purpose in pretending to be ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village?"

"Bokuto! That's why I asked you to look at this topographic map!"

"The mastermind behind the scenes! And the direction we are going to chase next! It is hidden in this topographic map!"

In the puzzled eyes of the three people!

Fujiwara Tetsuya's finger landed on the location of a lake!

"This lake! It's the lake we just crossed!"

"Yes! It's the lake we just crossed!"

"Look here!"

"Although there are mountains separating the north and south of this lake! But after crossing the lake!"

"Except for this passage to the west! The northern area is still accessible!"

"And at that time! All our attention was focused on the western area, ignoring the investigation of the northern area!"

"Wait! Tetsuya-kun!"

"The northern area! What do you mean!"

"The mastermind behind the looting of the goods in Shufeng City! Are those who pretended to be Rain Ninjas from the Kusagakure Village?"

Aburame Bokuto was still a little confused!

But! Uchiha Mikoto was the first to react!

Intelligence is something that can obviously not be cultivated overnight!

"That's right! Mikoto is right!"

"If my guess is correct! The mastermind this time! Is the ninja from Kusagakure Village! "

North of the lake! Along the rolling mountains! Directly to the Land of Grass!

If it were any other ninja village!

Fujiwara Tetsuya might still be cautious!

But for the Grass Village!

Fujiwara Tetsuya has full confidence and assurance!

After all, that is the future World War II and World War III period! The most famous fence-sitter!

There are no rules! Everything starts from! It's all based on immediate interests!

"Wooden Man! As for why they pretended to be ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village!"

"I don't need to explain it anymore!"

"No! No need! "

Facing Fujiwara Tetsuya's gaze! Aburame Kimitsu waved his hands helplessly!

If he had explained it earlier! He would have understood!

The reason why the group of Kusagakure ninjas did this! It was nothing more than framing others! Just to confuse people!
