Konohagakure's reaction this ti was not only very swift but also very decisive, from the notice of mobilization to the final departure, it only took a few hours.
Almost all the elites of the Uchiha Clan, including Shisui and the Patriarch Fugaku, as well as other clans, were also participating in the encirclent and hunting operation, as such the overall montum was very great and eye-catching.
After the departure, it only took a few days of trekking, and the entire unit finally arrived at the area where Uchiha Hiiragi and Uchiha Yuto encountered the two mbers of Amatsukami.
While gathered in a temporary tent, a war council was organized, at the ti, the commander-in-chief of the hunting operation, Shimura Danzo, pointed at the detailed map spread on the table with his cane, and explained all the information, while also announced the deploynt and encirclent teams, that will be responsible for different sub-areas!
"Jiraiya, you will lead the second and seventh unit and will be in charge of searching in the west…!"
"Nara Shikaku, you will lead the third and eighth unit and will be in charge of searching in the south…!"
"Hyuga Hizashi, you will lead the fourth and ninth unit and will be in charge of searching in the north…!"
"Uchiha Patriarch will lead the Konoha Military Police Force along with the fifth unit and will be in charge of searching in the east…!"
Everyone responded to Danzo's orders in unison.
The areas of deploynt were pre-determined at the Jonin Council eting behind the closed doors of the Hokage Building, so nobody had any objections.
After everything was said and done, Shimura Danzo finally glanced at Uchiha Shisui who hasn't made any public appearance for quite so ti on the account of a leave of absence because of *facing so health issues* but imdiately retracted his gaze back to the map and continued with a cold tone, "We are not yet sure for what purpose has the Amatsukami appeared this ti, and the possibility of all this appearance being a trap or diversion is certainly a possibility, as such everyone must pay special attention during the search process and keep a regulated communication between the various teams!"
At this ti, Jiraiya said with a serious expression, "Although we do not have much intelligence about the ability of this new mber with the green wind-type mask, based on what we know about Amatsukami, he must be a shinobi specializing in Wind Release or a Kekkei Genkai user derived from Wind Release Chakra Nature, his strength is estimated to be on the sa class as Suijin and Homusubi or probably even higher, therefore, it would be prudent to strategize counter strategies when we encounter him!"
Everyone nodded after hearing Jiraiya's words.
When facing a strong enemy, the results of a battle with a predetermined counter-strategy and no predetermined counter-strategy will often have very different results, as such, collecting information and devising an effective counter-strategy is always one of the crucial things that makes a shinobi strong.
Of course, on-site analysis skill is also extrely important as most of the ti what you plan ends up useless but that does not an that predetermined strategies do not succeed, therefore both are necessary skills that a true shinobi must have!
Jiraiya's words concluded the eting and as per Shimura Danzo's orders, everyone went to their respective camps to make preparation for following the deploynt and leading the units they were in charge of.
Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui also returned to the temporary Uchiha Camp.
…
Uchiha Camp, all the elites of the Uchiha Clan gathered in the tent waiting for the Patriarch's order.
Uchiha Fugaku stood by the table and drew a circle on the map while stating, "This is the area that the Uchiha Clan is in charge of!"
One of the Uchiha elite frowned, "The terrain of this area is too difficult to trek in, especially the Tojinbo Mountain Range! The search will be extrely difficult!"
Fugaku stated indifferently, "This was assigned by Shimura Danzo but It matters not, the people of Amatsukami are undoubtedly going to co after the Uchiha Clan, so the more complicated the terrain the better advantage we can have if we play it wisely!"
Shisui was glad that the Uchiha Clan was responsible for the area around the Tojinbo Mountain Range, which is obviously a good thing for him, and decided to volunteer, "Patriarch, by your order, I would like to be responsible for searching the Tojinbo Mountain Range!"
Fugaku thought for a while and finally nodded.
For extrely complex terrains like the Tojinbo Mountain range, he had already decided that either he or Shisui both of whom have the Mangekyou Sharingan will be responsible, as the possibility of encountering the enemy here is the greatest, and if Shisui does encounter Homusubi, then that would be the best chance to verify whether Uchiha Shisui is Homusubi or not.
After everything was planned and decided, the sub-commanders took quick actions, and a large number of Konoha shinobi spread out in all directions in an orderly manner.
At this ti, if soone were to look at the ground from a high altitude in the sky they would find countless heads spreading from one center point akin to a large net.
Shisui and the team he led were also an unremarkable part of this large net.
A total of eight people, including him were part of the team and traveling according to the route Shisui determined, and soon arrived at the Tojinbo Mountain Range!
The team consists of Uchiha Shisui as the captain of the team, with three other Uchiha shinobi part of the main combat force, additionally, there are two shinobi of the Root subunit of the Anbu departnt and finally two other ninjas, one from the Inuzuka Clan and the other from the Abura Clan.
Before long, the eight people who entered the Tojinbo Mountain Range started a carpet search of the entire mountain range.
Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh…
With the sound of breaking past the wind, Shisui, and the others landed on the huge rock boulder one-after-another.
Standing on top of the rock, Shisui looked around with a little anticipation.
Counting the ti, today is the day that Kuroto-san inford him, therefore, Shisui knew that Kuroto must have arrived at the Tojinbo Mountain Range, and therefore, Shisui was both nervous and anticipation because he didn't know what Kuroto had actually planned.
At this ti, the Abura shinobi said, "The insects I have distributed through the eastern peak of Tojinbo Mountain Range have all disappeared but they did manage to send back a ssage, the mbers of Amatsukami are there...!"
Shisui nodded and after taking a deep breath, he ordered, "I and Hiiragi-san will go from the front, Fuji-san and Kane-san will circle around from the left, while you two will trap them in a pincer attack from the right, and also pass on this ssage to the head-quarters stating that the enemy is confird to be present at the eastern peak of the Tojinbo Mountain Range!"
"Yes!" – Everyone nodded in unison and proceeded further with caution.
While traveling as soon as they passed three large swamps, the team was forced to co to an abrupt halt, as the two mbers of Amatsukami were present before them, one calmy sitting on a high cliff while the other one indifferently standing behind him.
Uchiha Hiiragi was the first one to shout, "It's them!"
Uchiha Hiiragi couldn't have been more familiar with those two figures. In the past few days ever since he encountered those two and was treated like dirt by that bastard Homusubi, he has been having nightmares, he is still frightened to directly look at those cold and indifferent eyes, but he is unwilling to endure that humiliation!
Shisui also looked at the two figures on the high cliff, especially the one sitting and dangling his legs playfully, and thought in confusion, 'Who is that person wearing 'Homusubi' disguise!?'
Bang…. Whiiiistle... BOOM!
While Shisui was wondering about this, the shinobi of the Root as per Shisui's order has already fired the Signal Flare.
As soon as the Signal Flare was fired, the two mbers of Amatsukami disappeared from their positions and appeared before Shisui and Hiiragi in an instant.
(Translator's note: I will be referring to Hyuga Kuroto as 'Homusubi' while he is playing Homusubi.)
"Heh, I didn't expect that Uchiha Shisui will personally co to us so that we can gouge out his Mangekyou Sharingan!" – Hyuga Kuroto controlling the low-quality clone and wearing the Homusubi disguise said with a chuckle as his gaze was fixed on Shisui, "You know, you got lucky on our last encounter, I was on a tight schedule and didn't have enough ti to steal your eyes, but now that you have personally co here, I wouldn't have to go through the trouble of specifically looking for you at Konoha!"
Shisui was taken aback by the sudden initiation of the conversation, then imdiately realize what was happening and responded accordingly, "Last ti you manage to ambush us using the elent of surprise, this ti, won't be the sa! I will definitely catch you this ti and you won't be escaping!"
"Escape!?" – Homusubi quirked his eyebrow with a chuckle as his chakra started flaring up and golden-orange chakra phantom started to appear around him, "Why would I want to escape?"
Followed by his words, the chakra phantom projected outwards of Homusubi's body grew inner bones then the upper body rib cage, soon musculature and skin ford over it.
"Susanoo!?" – Shisui was startled and subconsciously asked, "W-who are you!?"
Although he was surprised this did not stop Shisui to react instinctively and a green Chakra Phantom started appearing over him.
The showdown of Susanoo vs Susanoo between Shisui and Homusubi is the best way to prove Shisui's innocence.
Although he does not who the person wearing that Homusubi disguise is, it is obviously not the best ti to delve into that issue.
As such, Shisui did not hesitate at all and urged his Susanoo, instantly Shisui's green Susanoo also appeared opposite to Homusubi.
Looking at the two-titanic figures of Susanoo facing each other, the root shinobi who was observing the battle from a distance to strike Homusubi at the right opportunity was again taken aback and muttered in shock and disbelief, "Is this… is this the true power of the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan!?"
