Naruto: Betrayed From The Start

---

"Boss, Kenshi has split into two paths again." Daruma-Kurisu frowned and said.

As soon as the Black Iron shark was destroyed, Kenshi's real body immediately created a shadow clone and continued flying in different directions.

The Third Raikage and his team had to face the choice of which path to pursue again.

But this time, Kenshi was four kilometers away from them.

At this distance, if they chased the wrong one and then turned around, Kenshi would be even farther away from them.

If this continued, Kenshi would eventually disappear from the summoning beast eagle's sight.

"Is the Konoha ANBU still chasing him?" The Third Raikage suddenly asked.

"Let me see." Daruma-Kurisu changed his eyes into eagle eyes and looked around. He quickly spotted the two Konoha ANBU ninjas standing on the ink bird eight kilometers away in the sky. Seeing the direction they were flying, Daruma-Kurisu said, "Boss, they've gone to chase after the Kenshi flying north."

The Third Raikage heard this and said, "Then we'll go chase after the Kenshi flying west."

Immediately, Daruma-Kurisu instructed the summoning beast eagle to fly west.

"Huh... good luck."

Kenshi's real body, flying north, smiled in his heart. Then, his eyes flashed. He suddenly thought about how the Third Raikage had been unable to do anything about the Black Iron shark that had entered the seawater. He realized that the Third Raikage didn't know Water Release or wasn't skilled in Water Release jutsu.

Since that was the case... Kenshi thought.

His shadow clone sank into the belly of the Black Iron giant eagle, then disappeared. Kenshi retracted some of the Black Iron Chain Chakra from the Black Iron giant eagle. The rest condensed into a shark shape and dived into the sea again.

At the same time, the other shadow clone did the same thing, stuffing himself into the Black Iron shark and diving into the sea.

After entering the sea, Kenshi controlled the Black Iron shark to sink to a depth of twenty-five meters. Then, he slightly changed direction and swam forward again.

At this depth, even if the other party's summoning beast eagle had the best eyesight, it wouldn't be able to see him at a depth of twenty-five meters.

Especially in this sea area, the water wasn't clear. There were all kinds of plankton blocking the light.

"Boss, Kenshi has entered the sea. I can't see him anymore." Daruma-Kurisu reported.

The Third Raikage didn't rush. He asked, "What about the other Kenshi?"

Daruma-Kurisu replied, "He also entered the sea."

The Third Raikage frowned and asked, "At the same time?"

Daruma-Kurisu replied, "Almost at the same time."

At the same time, the same action. Was it planned beforehand?

He's really tough.

Kenshi.

The Third Raikage thought to himself.

This way, he couldn't determine which one was Kenshi's real body based on the different actions of the two Kenshis.

"Come down with me, Druid." The Third Raikage said.

"Yes, Boss." Druid was a black, bald ninja. He followed the Third Raikage and jumped off the summoning beast eagle.

As soon as he landed on the sea surface, Druid propped his hands on the water, closed his eyes, and sensed for a moment. Then, he opened his eyes and looked towards the direction where Kenshi's shadow clone was swimming four kilometers away. "He's over there, four and a half kilometers away."

"Over there, huh?"

The Third Raikage looked towards the direction that Druid was looking. Then, with a thought, he activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode. In an instant, with a "Crrrch" sound, he turned into a bolt of lightning and sped towards Kenshi's shadow clone.

Druid got up and followed, but he wasn't as fast as the Third Raikage.

But it didn't matter. His task was to use his special Water Release sensing ability to sense Kenshi's location and then tell the Third Raikage through the earpiece.

With the Third Raikage's speed, he would soon catch up to Kenshi. Then, he would get back on the summoning beast eagle to catch up to the Third Raikage and use Water Release to spray Kenshi out of the sea again.

"So fast!!!"

Kenshi was startled. The Third Raikage's movement speed on the sea surface was even faster than the summoning beast eagle's flying speed.

"No, I have to speed up. Otherwise, the Third Raikage will catch up soon."

Kenshi's face changed slightly. After thinking for a moment, he made a decision. With a thought, he didn't care about consuming Chakra. He immediately condensed Water Release Chakra and spread it out, merging it with the surrounding seawater.

"Water Release - Water Flow Manipulation Technique."

Kenshi casually named a Water Release technique. As the name suggested, he used Water Release Chakra to manipulate the water around the Black Iron shark to flow, pushing the Black Iron shark forward. Combined with the boost from controlling the Black Iron shark's swimming,

In an instant, the Black Iron shark in the seawater shot out like an arrow, leaving behind a hollow stream of water.

But... sensing the Third Raikage's speed, Kenshi silently sighed in his heart. He had used all his strength, but he still couldn't stop the Third Raikage from approaching him quickly.

Thinking about this, Kenshi's shadow clone immediately controlled the Black Iron shark to change direction.

But no matter how he changed direction, the Third Raikage was still moving towards him.

Thinking back to the action of the Kumogakure ninja who used Water Release jutsu, propping his hands on the sea surface, Kenshi realized that the other party had a long-distance sensing ability that allowed them to sense his location through the seawater.

Thinking about this, Kenshi frowned and pondered for a while. His real body didn't choose to immediately surface.

"Let's see. I'll stall for time as long as I can."

His shadow clone continued to use Water Release to accelerate, and Kenshi's real body also used Water Release to accelerate.

Now, it depended on how long the shadow clone could hold off the Third Raikage in the water.

Not long after, ten seconds passed.

The Third Raikage approached within a range of one and a half kilometers from Kenshi. He immediately released a black lightning attack.

The seawater conducted the black lightning, instantly reaching the upper body of the Black Iron shark in the sea, attacking the shadow clone hiding inside.

Kenshi used the Adamantine Binding Chains to defend against the black lightning. But his location was also locked by the Third Raikage.

"Is it Kenshi?"

Sensing that his black lightning attack had been blocked, the Third Raikage knew that there was someone inside the Black Iron shark in the sea. But he didn't know if it was Kenshi's real body.

The only thing he could do now was to grab the Kenshi in the sea to determine if it was a shadow clone.

"Druid, you can go up." The Third Raikage said to the earpiece.

"Yes, Boss." Receiving the Third Raikage's instructions, Druid immediately got up, leaped onto the back of the summoning beast eagle, which was flying close to the sea surface, and quickly approached the Third Raikage.

Five seconds later, the summoning beast eagle caught up to the Third Raikage, who was constantly locking onto Kenshi's location with black lightning.

Soon, Druid used the same trick again, diving into the sea and using Water Release to force the Black Iron shark out.

But this time, there was Kenshi's shadow clone inside the Black Iron shark. He could use Water Release to resist. It took Druid fifteen seconds longer to force the Black Iron shark out of the water.

As soon as it emerged from the water, before the Third Raikage's attack arrived, Kenshi proactively retracted the Black Iron shark and dispelled the shadow clone.

Back and forth, a minute had passed.

In one minute, Kenshi had moved five kilometers away from the Third Raikage and his team. Adding the previous four kilometers, Kenshi was now nine kilometers away from the Third Raikage.

Honestly, if he had encountered ordinary people, Kenshi would have escaped.

Unfortunately, he encountered the Third Raikage and his elite team, who had come specifically to pursue him. Every ninja in the team had their own specialized jutsu.

A distance of nine kilometers, and Kenshi was in the water. The summoning beast eagle couldn't see him, but the Water Release ninja's Water Release sensing reaction was beyond Kenshi's imagination.

Soon, relying on Druid's sensing ability, the Third Raikage entered Kenshi's five-kilometer sensing range again.

"Damn..."

Kenshi's face changed. He cursed under his breath, realizing that the other party's sensing ability in water was even wider than he had imagined.

Boom!

The calm sea surface suddenly splashed violently. A Black Iron shark flew out of the water. Then, the Black Iron shark quickly expanded into a Black Iron giant eagle.

Kenshi stood on its back and personally controlled the Black Iron giant eagle to fly.

In the water, in the sky, his sensing ability was not as wide as the enemy's. Kenshi realized that the sky was the only key to his escape.

After flying to a height of one hundred meters, Kenshi quickly created a shadow clone and split his forces again.

But this time, he was unlucky. The Third Raikage and his team were following his real body.

He immediately dispelled the shadow clone on the other side and created another shadow clone to fly in different directions.

This time, he was lucky. The Third Raikage and his team were chasing after the shadow clone.

But soon, seeing that the real body on the other side hadn't disappeared, the Third Raikage and his team immediately turned around and chased after the direction where Kenshi's real body was flying.

Sensing this, Kenshi subconsciously dispelled the shadow clone.

"Damn..."

As soon as he dispelled the shadow clone on the other side, Kenshi immediately cursed under his breath. This time, he was cursing himself. He realized that he had made a stupid mistake.

He had dispelled the shadow clone too quickly.

As soon as the Third Raikage saw that he was chasing the real body, Kenshi would dispel the shadow clone on the other side and then create another shadow clone to split into different paths.

If he was chasing a shadow clone, and the shadow clone wasn't dispelled, the real body on the other side wouldn't disappear either.

Any fool would know that if the two Kenshis on both sides didn't disappear when they were being chased, then the one they were chasing was the shadow clone used to lure them.

Realizing that he had made a stupid mistake, this time, after splitting into different paths with his shadow clone, even if the real body was being chased, he wouldn't dispel the shadow clone on the other side.

Instead, Kenshi took a risk and had his shadow clone create another shadow clone to split into different paths. Together with the shadow clone created by his real body, they split into four directions, using the cost of no resistance to confuse the Third Raikage and his team.

But every time Kenshi thought he had escaped from the Third Raikage and his team, after a while, they would once again enter his five-kilometer Chakra Sensing range.

Again and again, Kenshi's Chakra amount was getting lower and lower.

Despair!

Kenshi felt the same sense of despair he had felt when he escaped from Konoha and faced Uzumaki Mito.

Sealing jutsu.

Genjutsu.

He had exhausted all his abilities in various methods of escaping pursuit, but he still couldn't escape the pursuit of the Third Raikage and his team.
