Jiraiya and his men were not chasing the ninjas from the Wind Country blindly.
Instead, it relies on a small snake wrapped around Orochimaru's right wrist.
There are many different types of Summoning snakes in Ryūchi Cave, some are good at fighting, and some are good at tracking.
The small snake wrapped around Orochimaru's hand is good at tracking and can capture the scent left in the air by the Wind Country Ninja when they retreat.
"It's raining so hard right now that the smell in the air has become extremely faint. I can no longer detect any smell in the air."
The Summoning snake in Orochimaru's hand replied.
"They should have fled in that direction. I can only detect a faint scent in that direction now."
"But this smell will soon be dispersed by the rain. I can only help you up to this point. I'm sorry."
The Summoning snake pointed its tail in a certain direction and said apologetically.
The temper of this Summoning snake is several times better than that of all the other snakes.
"Just do your best."
Jiraiya nodded and said, then led Anbu to continue chasing.
The Summoning Snake also turned into a wisp of white smoke and returned to Ryūchi Cave.
"Captain, the soil here is very wet, and there are no footprints left. We must be chasing in the wrong direction."
After chasing for a while, an Anbu member spoke up.
"Keep chasing. As long as the scent captured by Summoningmon is correct, the ninjas from the Wind Country must be in this direction."
"It's a good thing for us that we didn't find any footprints. If the ninjas from the Wind Country really retreated from this place, but they erased all traces, it means that they are in a very bad state and are afraid of being tracked by us."
"If we still can't see anyone from the Wind Country after chasing them for another three hours, we will retreat."
Jiraiya began to analyze.
Even if they are chasing in the wrong direction now, they can only continue to chase.
After all, it is too late to change direction and continue tracking.
But we can't chase too deep, because no one can guarantee whether there are ninjas who have come to pick up the group of ninjas from the Wind Country.
"The captain's analysis makes sense. I think so too."
Xihi Junzhen said in a cold voice.
"I am still very confident in my Summoningmon. He will definitely not let us down. The ninjas from the Wind Country are definitely ahead."
Orochimaru said very confidently.
After more than an hour, Jiraiya and his friends entered a forest.
"Be prepared for battle, the enemy is ahead."
Not long after walking in the woods, they sensed the flow of eight strands of Chakra. With the help of the Eye of Insight, they saw eight ninjas from the Wind Country moving quickly in the woods.
Two of them were Jōnin, and the remaining six were Chūnin, with two having reached the level of Elite Chunin.
Three of them had obvious injuries.
There is no doubt that this group of Wind Country Ninjas must be the same Wind Country Ninjas that besieged the intelligence team.
According to the intelligence sent by Sanyuan, there were a total of fifteen Wind Country ninjas besieging the intelligence team, including four Jōnin and eight Elite Chunin.
Now the number has been reduced by half. It is obvious that this group of Wind Country ninjas has wiped out Konoha's two intelligence teams at a huge cost.
As for the reason why the bodies of the Wind Country Ninjas were not seen in the canyon, they must have been put into the space scroll by these Wind Country Ninjas.
"Captain Kono, let's take a break. Zhiye and the other three can't hold on any longer."
An Elite Chunin spoke to a Jōnin while the Wind Country Ninjas were hurrying along quickly.
The three injured Wind Country ninjas are now somewhat exhausted.
"Hold on a little longer. We spent a lot of effort to wipe out Konoha's intelligence team, and even let one of them escape. Calculating the time, Konoha's support should have arrived. They are likely to track us down. Wait until we leave this forest before resting."
Captain Kono shook his head and said.
"Captain Kono, it's raining so hard right now. We've already cleared the traces of our journey. Konoha's reinforcements shouldn't be able to track us down."
Another Jōnin from the Wind Country spoke up.
It is obvious that this group from the Wind Country is led by Kono.
"Fujimura, you don't know how terrifying Konoha is. Their village has many secret techniques. We can't take it lightly. Hold on a little longer."
Kono still refused to take a break.
The ninjas from the Kingdom of Wind could only continue on their journey.
"There are two Jōnin, two Elite Chunin, and four Chūnin. One Elite Chunin and two Chūnin are injured and in very poor condition. I will immediately entangle the two Jōnin, and then you will cooperate with each other to kill the remaining Wind Country ninjas as soon as possible."
Jiraiya informed his subordinates of the situation of the Wind Country Ninja Team and formulated a battle plan.
"Captain, I know you are very strong and can deal with two Jōnin at the same time, but it will be a bit difficult. Let me tie up one Jōnin so that you can kill the other Jōnin as soon as possible."
"Eliminating one Jōnin would almost decide the situation."
Xihi Junzhen hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
"Give me one of the Jōnin."
Orochimaru also spoke up.
Jiraiya really didn't expect that Orochimaru and Yuhi Junma would take the initiative to take on dangerous tasks for him.
"Then the other Jōnin will be handed over to you. Chunzhen, lead them to surround and kill Chūnin. Remember not to let any enemy escape."
Jiraiya thought about it for a moment, and was ready to give the other Jōnin to Orochimaru.
Because Orochimaru was taking the Jōnin exam.
If he could really take out that Jōnin.
It will definitely add a strong touch to his resume, and then, when the time comes, he can recommend Orochimaru to be the captain of the Anbu team, and it will be more secure.
If he wants to build up his power in the future, Orochimaru will definitely be a very powerful helper.
"Yes, Captain."
Xiuri Chunzhen did not continue to force it.
After Jiraiya assigned the combat tasks, he turned into a series of afterimages and rushed forward quickly.
With such a fast speed, he instantly left Orochimaru and the others behind, and in just a moment he caught up with the group of ninjas from the Wind Country.
Now with Jiraiya's physical fitness, the speed of performing Body Flicker Technique is already extremely terrifying.
"It's bad that the enemy is attacking."
As Jiraiya approached, the Jōnin Kono of the Wind Country sensed Jiraiya's presence, and with a loud roar, he pulled out a large number of shurikens and threw them at Jiraiya.
However, under the gaze of the Eye of Insight, the speed of these shurikens was extremely slow, like a turtle crawling. Jiraiya dodged them easily with his amazing speed, and the Lightning Blade in his hand lit up with dazzling lightning and stabbed towards his chest.
