This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 135 Rescue of Kana Uzumaki

The night was as dark as ink, and Minato Namikaze's figure had already disappeared like a golden streak of light in the direction leading into the depths of the forest.

Sakumo Hatake looked at his injured son, then at Toru Nishikawa standing to the side with a solemn expression. His gentle eyes now held a hint of sharpness.

"Kakashi."

Sakumo crouched down and gently patted Kakashi's head.

"You did a good job and did not disgrace the Hatake family."

"Go home now, and Dad promises you, he will bring Chanel back."

"Hmm..." Kakashi nodded reluctantly, but he knew that with his current strength, he would only be a burden if he went along.

Watching Kakashi leave, Sakumo stood up and looked at Nishikawa Tetsu.

"Che, Yunyin came prepared this time."

"I know."

Nishikawa Tetsu pulled a heavy, brick-like black block from his ninja tool bag and extended a long antenna.

"Senior Sakumo, let's go. I'll notify the police department to close the border on the way."

"This is..." Sakumo glanced at the black box.

"A radio developed by the Scientific Research Institute that has recently been put into use."

Nishikawa Tetsu pressed the call button, and amidst a piercing static, he spoke in a deep voice into the microphone: "Calling the police department, this is Nishikawa Tetsu, urgently calling Captain Uchiha Fugaku."

After a few seconds of static, Fugaku's calm yet slightly irritated voice came from the box. Although the sound quality was somewhat distorted, the voice was still clearly audible.

"This is Fugaku. It's so late, has the research institute been bombed?"

"It's more serious than that."

As Nishikawa Tetsu raced across the rooftops alongside Sakumo, he spoke rapidly, "Kumogakure has made its move; Kushina and Kana have been kidnapped."

"What?!"

Fugaku's voice instantly rose eight octaves, and his anger could be felt even through the radio.

"Those Cloud Village people actually dared to kidnap people in Konoha? Do they think our police department is just for show?!"

"Senior, now is not the time to be angry."

Nishikawa Tetsu said, "The enemy has sent elite troops with strong counter-surveillance capabilities. I need the police department's help to seal off all exits from the village towards the Land of Lightning and the Land of Hot Springs. At the same time, have the Hyuga clan members activate their Byakugan and conduct a thorough search along the eastern forest to prevent any backup forces from joining them."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"Yashiro, assemble the team, grab your flares and follow me!"

A roaring command came from the other end of the radio, and then the communication was cut off.

Sakumo glanced at the black box in Nishikawa Tetsu's hand with some surprise.

"This thing is a godsend on the battlefield."

"It's only being used on a trial basis by the police department for now, but it will be rolled out on a large scale later." Nishikawa Tetsu put away his radio, his eyes cold. "But right now, save lives first."

……

On the border of the Land of Fire, in a dense forest.

Sakumo and Nishikawa Tetsu stopped by a rushing stream.

The trail went cold.

"A very experienced opponent."

Shuo Mao squatted by the river, dipped his finger in some mud, smelled it, and frowned.

"After entering the river, they used water escape techniques to eliminate all scents and footprints. They even deliberately disrupted the residual chakra in the air."

Shuo Mao stood up, looking at the rushing river in front of him and the dense jungle on the opposite bank, his face solemn.

"No smell, no footprints. If they went downstream, they might have escaped far away; if they went upstream, they might have landed somewhere..."

"Searching for someone blindly in such a large forest is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Sakumo's hand rested on the white dagger behind his back; it was a bit tricky.

If something happens to Kana, it will not only be a heavy blow to the Uzumaki clan, but also a disgrace to Konoha. The village, a place of great prestige, cannot even protect a little girl, and its credibility will greatly decline in the future.

"Che, can your radio contact the Hyuga clan? If they have the Byakugan..."

"It's too late."

Nishikawa Tetsu shook his head. "The terrain here is complicated, and it's too far from the village. The radio signal can't reach it. By the time the Hyuga clan's reinforcements arrive, Kumogakure will have already crossed the border with Kana."

"What should we do then?" Sakumo asked Nishikawa Tetsu.

In his experience, it would be very difficult to find the person in this situation.

Nishikawa Tetsu didn't speak, but instead took out a black, flashlight-like device and a pair of specially made yellow goggles from his ninja tool bag.

"Senior Sakumo, do you know why I specifically asked Amaterasu Ninja Tool Shop to add a waterproof and stain-resistant coating to the new clothes I bought for Kana?"

"Waterproof and stain-resistant?" Sakumo was taken aback. "For cleanliness?"

"No."

Nishikawa Tetsu put on his goggles and turned on the flashlight.

There was no visible beam of light; only a faint, almost imperceptible, pale purple ray of light.

"That was to cover up the zinc sulfide phosphor mixed in with the coating."

Nishikawa Tetsu shone his flashlight on the river and the grass on the bank.

"This is a substance that is transparent and colorless under natural light, but emits a strong yellow-green fluorescence under ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength."

"That child likes to run around, so to prevent her from getting lost, I sprayed this powder on her backpack, shoes, and even hair clips."

"As soon as they move, this powder will scatter like breadcrumbs. Although the amount is small, under ultraviolet light..."

Nishikawa Tetsuya's lips curled into a cold smile: "As conspicuous as a lighthouse in the dark."

Upon hearing this, Shuo Mao immediately moved closer to observe.

Under the illumination of Nishikawa Tetsu's specially made light source, some tiny, firefly-like lights actually appeared on the originally pitch-black riverbank.

Although those points of light were faint, they pointed the way in the darkness.

They did not drift downstream, but instead appeared abruptly on a rock a hundred meters upstream, and then extended into the depths of the dense forest.

"Over there!"

Nishikawa Tetsu pointed in the direction the light was extending, his voice cold.

"They didn't retreat by water; that was a smokescreen. They did the opposite, crossing the dense forest directly, trying to reach the border in a straight line."

"Good lad!"

Sakumo's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his previous anxiety vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling killing intent.

"Now that there are road signs, they can't escape."

"Walk!"

The two figures started moving again.

This time, they no longer needed to stop and identify the traces.

In Nishikawa Tetsu's vision, the series of fireflies were like beacons in the darkness, clearly outlining the escape route of the Cloud Village ninja.

The two moved forward at full speed, and ten minutes later...

The trees ahead thinned out, and an abandoned cave could be vaguely seen.

At the cave entrance, two Cloud Village ninjas were on guard, while inside the cave, the faint glow of fire could be heard.

"Found it."

Shuo Mao stopped behind a large tree, his breathing perfectly steady.

He slowly drew the short sword from his back, the blade gleaming with a chilling white light in the moonlight.

"There are five people in total, two outside and three inside, concealing their chakra reactions."

Sakumo turned his head to look at Nishikawa Tetsu.

"Che, you take care of the two outside. Don't let them make a sound. I'll handle the ones inside."

"no problem."

Nishikawa Tetsu raised his left arm, and the bee stinger slid out silently. Two senbon needles coated with a powerful anesthetic were already loaded.

"Let's do it."

With a soft whisper from Sakumo.

Nishikawa Tetsu pulled the trigger.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

An extremely faint sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

The two senbon needles were moving at extremely high speeds under electromagnetic acceleration.

The two Cloud Village ninjas at the cave entrance felt a numbness in their necks. Before they could even touch their wounds, the powerful anesthetic had already entered their brains through the pulse in their necks.

Their eyes glazed over instantly, and their bodies went limp, collapsing without a sound.

Almost at the same time.

Sakumo Hatake disappeared.

There was no sound, no murderous intent, and not even the wind was disturbed.

He appeared abruptly inside the cave, like a white ghost.

Inside the cave, three Cloud Village ninjas were discussing their retreat route.

"Konoha's reaction is really slow. It's a pity they didn't kill that white-haired brat earlier. That kid will..."

Before the leader of the Cloud Hidden Sect could finish speaking, he felt a flash of white light before his eyes.

The light wasn't dazzling, but it was chillingly cold.

"Is there an enemy?"

This was the last thought in his mind.

The next second, his gaze began to rotate, and he saw his own headless body, still sitting in a seated position.

"Who goes there?!"

The remaining two ninjas jumped up in terror, trying to form hand seals.

But that white figure danced like death itself.

A flash of light appeared.

The wrists of the two ninjas were severed at the root; their hand seals were cut short before they could even be completed.

Immediately afterwards, the back of the knife struck them heavily on the back of the neck.

"Bang! Bang!"

The two rolled their eyes and fainted.

From the moment Shuomao entered the cave to the end of the battle, it was only a moment, so fast that no one could react.

Sakumo wiped the blood off his sword, sheathed it, and the suffocating murderous aura on his face vanished instantly, transforming him back into the gentle uncle he once was.

He walked over and gently cut the ropes binding Chanel.

Her mouth was stuffed with a rag, and her face was streaked with tears.

Sakumo knelt down, removed the gag from her mouth, reached out and touched her red hair, his voice gentle: "It's alright, Kana, Kakashi is alright too, he's still waiting for you to come back."

"Uncle Hatake..."

Kana was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears and threw herself into Sakumo Hatake's arms.

Nishikawa Che walked in at the cave entrance, looked at the scene, and then looked at the Cloud Villagers lying on the ground.

"Truly worthy of White Teeth, clean and crisp."

Nishikawa Tetsu was secretly alarmed.

That kind of pure, unadorned killing technique is more efficient than any ninjutsu.

"Looks like it's not my turn to make an appearance."

Nishikawa Tetsu checked the unconscious survivors and skillfully administered a powerful sedative injection to each of them.

"Bring these prisoners back alive. Now, Yunyin won't be able to renege on his debt even if he wants to."

He took a handkerchief out of his pocket and wiped Chanel's tear-streaked face.

"Alright, stop crying. If you cry and your eyes get swollen, Kakashi won't recognize you as his boss at school tomorrow."

"He...he dares!"

Kana sobbed, but still clung tightly to Sakumo's clothes.
