Chapter 265 Jōnin Exercise Mission

On the second day, Uchiha Shisui, Iruka, and Uchiha Itachi met in the forest outside Konoha.

“The first thing is to find the designated mission scroll with Genin” Uchiha Shisui said the first step of the mission.



The scroll gives the scope of a forest and examines the ninja’s search ability.

Iruka curled his lips and said with a little disdain: “Jōnin’s exercise mission is really fucking, just give it to the mission scroll, you have to look for it, trouble!”



“No” Uchiha Shisui shook his head: “Don’t doubt the above. Every task they give is meaningful. Although I don’t know what the meaning is, it’s the right thing to find the task scroll as soon as possible.”

“Swish swish”, Iruka and the three of them split up. Soon, Uchiha Itachi was in a corner and found the mission scroll.

The three Iruka reunited and opened the scroll, which clearly stated the mission: Tracking down a fugitive ninja.

“I’m going” Iruka really hurts: “The person who released this mission is really a pit. The time it takes us to find the mission scroll is the time for the fugitive ninja to escape. If we delay too long, the fugitive ninja will have run away long ago. It’s gone.”

“Hurry up and pursue it.” Uchiha Shisui swiftly marched deep into the forest, followed by Iruka and Uchiha Itachi.

“There are three items in the exercise. The first is to find the traces of the fugitive and search for his whereabouts” Uchiha Shisui.

“Any clues?” Uchiha Itachi asked.

“No, there is nothing.” Uchiha Shisui shook his head: “This is a real simulation exercise. Except for the mission, I won’t ask about it.”

“Cut” Iruka is a little bit stressed: “I don’t have any clues anyway, let’s start searching from this area.”

“Step on”, Iruka and others jumped to the ground and watched the surroundings.

Suddenly, Uchiha Shisui squatted down, looking at the moss in front of him, lost in thought.

“The footprint on the moss really deserves to be Jōnin Shisui” Uchiha Itachi admired: “Even such a small trace hasn’t been left.”

“Huh” Uchiha Itachi paused and found a broken branch on the grass. He hurried over and picked it up for inspection.

“Well, did that guy step on a dead branch?” Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Shisui shook his head: “You are very careful, but this is a fake. The branch in your hand is not dry enough to break when you step on it, and if you look at the break, it’s very sharp. Presumably. It was the artificial fake that was too impatient and rough.”

Iruka’s mouth is slightly open. It’s not that the fugitive ninja made a rough fake, but you Uchiha Shisui observed too carefully.

“Oh” Uchiha Itachi stood up, unavoidably frustrated, he was almost deceived just now.

“Don’t be discouraged” Uchiha Shisui comforted: “The footprints on the moss may be left by animals, and only humans can create false clues. Since the false clues are placed in that position, it means that the escaped ninja has been here.”

Uchiha Shisui said as he walked: “Let’s observe our surroundings carefully, the escape ninja will definitely leave other clues.”

Sure enough, soon, Uchiha Shisui found another suspicious place.

“Small rocks?” Iruka was puzzled.

“That’s right.” Uchiha Shisui turned the stone over, then chuckled lightly: “The side close to the earth is dry, and the side above it is wet. A normal stone is not like this.”

“Is it possible that this is also fake?” Uchiha Itachi instinctively suspected.

“Yeah” Uchiha Shisui said cautiously, “It may not be impossible, but the moisture of this stone shows how long ago our goal was to pass through here.”

“That’s it.” Uchiha Itachi suddenly realized.

“From the perspective of dryness, it should not take more than a quarter of an hour for the target person to leave” Uchiha Shisui is very confident.

Iruka couldn’t help asking, “Shisui, do you know Holmes and Conan?”

“???” Uchiha Shisui.

“Hehe, I’m just kidding.” Iruka grinned abruptly, and the topic changed Technique so hard to use!

Uchiha Itachi has long been accustomed to Iruka’s convulsions, and he looks around for himself, looking for other clues.

“This smell” Uchiha Itachi’s nose twitched twice, then walked over and saw a small patch of flowers.

On the flower bush, some petals were trampled off. It is conceivable that the target person experienced this direction in the process of fleeing.

Uchiha Shisui discovered this too, patted Uchiha Itachi on the shoulder, and praised: “Good job! Let’s go in this direction.”

In this way, pursued for a long, long time.

As the sun sets, and dusk gradually rises, the three of Iruka come to a gorge, surrounded by a river flowing slowly.

Uchiha Itachi went to check the reef by the water, there seemed to be some traces on it.

“That’s the trace left by the fish passing by,” Uchiha Shisui reminded.

Uchiha Itachi was a little disappointed: “Isn’t it even a fake clue?”

“Yes, this is the biggest purpose of forging clues, so that everything looks like traces left by the enemy. As long as the tracker can be a little confused, the escape will become easier” Uchiha Shisui said inexplicably.

Both Iruka and Uchiha Itachi were a little desperate. In this case, it would be impossible to trace the fugitive by their strength alone. This time I came out to participate in the exercise mission, and I really saw a lot of things. Of course, I also need to learn more tracking skills.

“Hahaha” Uchiha Shisui suddenly laughed: “Relax, both of you, you are already very good, so you have never put yourself in your place and thought about people who are not good enough.”

Iruka and Uchiha Itachi are unclear.

Uchiha Shisui continued: “I mean tracking skills are really important, but the psychology of fugitives is also very important. Even without tracking skills, sometimes they can cut corners to intercept opponents.”

“Really?” Uchiha Itachi’s eyes lit up, and Iruka seemed to understand something.

“That’s how it is.” Uchiha Shisui stretched and looked at the already dotted night sky, and said, “Okay, let’s start the second exercise.”

“The second exercise is…” Uchiha Itachi wondered.

“Well, camping at night” Uchiha Shisui jumped into the river and caught a few fish.

“Wow!” Iruka brought out a bunch of fruits, cooked meat, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and even bean paste. Of course, beer, red wine and white wine were indispensable.

“I’ll go” Uchiha Shisui was stunned. Are we camping at night or having a meal in the wild? Are you so exaggerated?

However, forget it, with Konoha’s richest man, take it tonight as a treat.
