Naruto: Betrayed From The Start

---

Night.

The moon was high in the sky.

Above a forest, the black Black Iron giant eagle shimmered with a faint silver metallic sheen under the silvery moonlight.

"Ah..."

Inside the Black Iron giant eagle, Kenshi, who had slept for ten hours, stretched out his arms and sat up, letting out a comfortable sigh of waking up.

After ten hours of deep sleep, Kenshi felt refreshed, relaxed, and full of energy.

Coming out of the Black Iron giant eagle's belly and standing on its back, Kenshi created a shadow clone and had it enter the Black Iron giant eagle's belly, taking over control of the Black Iron giant eagle.

The other shadow clone was dispelled and disappeared.

"Should I dispel the shadow clone on the other side?"

Kenshi suddenly thought. After so long, even if the other side realized it, he had flown far away. Dispersing the shadow clone wouldn't affect him.

"But... let's see if they're still there."

Kenshi's heart stirred, and he transmitted his thoughts to the shadow clone on the other side through their conscious connection.

Speaking of Kenshi's conscious connection with his shadow clone, it was quite strange. It was like quantum communication. No matter how far apart they were, he could sense the shadow clone's existence.

Part of his consciousness was always fused with the shadow clone's Chakra. His real body could connect with this part of his consciousness at any time, and he could also disconnect at any time without affecting each other.

Thanks to this strange connection, Kenshi was able to escape from Konoha's pursuit.

Ten minutes later.

Kenshi, who had been proud of his consciousness having quantum communication, was no longer so proud. His face turned a little ugly.

On the other side.

Kenshi's shadow clone had been hiding in a tree hole for ten minutes.

But within a two-kilometer Chakra Sensing range, there were still no traces of Chakra.

Before he landed, within a minute, there were ink swallows within his Chakra Sensing range. Now, ten minutes had passed, and there was nothing.

"Could those guys have developed new sensing abilities... No, that's impossible."

Kenshi shook his head. He was certain that the two Konoha ninjas didn't have Chakra Sensing abilities, nor did they have other abilities like smell sensing.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been unable to detect the shadow clone staying in the waterfall when they flew over it.

Then... did the Hyuga clan ninja with the Byakugan come?

Kenshi thought to himself. Only the Byakugan could see through objects from a distance and observe him, which would make the pursuit squad oblivious to his hiding.

Their mission objective should have changed to just keeping an eye on his whereabouts, not pursuing killing him.

But these were just Kenshi's guesses.

He had to personally confirm whether the Byakugan ninja had come.

Boom!

Kenshi's shadow clone summoned the condensed Black Iron giant eagle from his acupoint space again, flew into the sky, and controlled the Black Iron giant eagle to accelerate its flight, flying back towards the direction it had come from.

Ten minutes later.

Kenshi still didn't sense any Chakra fluctuations within his two-kilometer Chakra Sensing range.

Kenshi finally confirmed that he had been tricked by the Konoha ninjas.

They had stopped tracking his shadow clone at some point.

"Why?"

Kenshi couldn't understand why they had given up tracking his shadow clone. The shadow clone couldn't be seen through.

And when Kenshi's shadow clone landed, they had rushed over to search for his shadow clone's whereabouts.

It was clear that they hadn't given up on tracking Kenshi's shadow clone.

So, something unexpected must have happened while he was sleeping, causing the two Konoha ninjas to give up tracking Kenshi's shadow clone.

"Since they gave up on the shadow clone, then... no good."

On Kenshi's real body's side, he suddenly turned his head back. In the sky under the white moonlight, the horizon seemed clearer than during the day.

The view was peaceful, with no movement.

But Kenshi didn't dare to relax.

The enemy had only one purpose in giving up tracking the shadow clone: to confirm that the one here was the real body.

How did they confirm it?

Kenshi didn't know, but he knew that he was most likely being watched again.

"Boom!"

The Black Iron giant eagle turned around, creating a strong wind, and flew back.

Kenshi's eyes flashed. He needed to confirm if there was anyone following him.

"No good, Kenshi has discovered us."

"He suddenly flew towards us."

Standing on the back of the ink bird, Sarutobi Ayase saw Kenshi suddenly turn around and fly towards them. She immediately stopped the ink bird and said to her husband and Sika.

On the way back, they had caught up with Hyuga Sika and Echizen Ryōma, and the four of them formed a team again to track Kenshi.

Sarutobi Tenjū heard his wife's words, his eyes narrowed, and his brow furrowed. After a moment of thought, he immediately said to his wife, "Ayase, let's turn around and fly back. He's probably just testing if we're tracking him, not that he discovered us."

If he had discovered their tracking, Kenshi wouldn't have flown back. Instead, he would have flown forward and created several shadow clones to mislead them.

Not like now, flying straight towards them.

"Okay."

Sarutobi Ayase thought about it and immediately controlled the ink bird to turn around and fly back. She increased the Chakra output to accelerate, maintaining a distance of seven kilometers from Kenshi.

Kenshi flew back, and there was no sign of the ink bird in his sight, nor any Chakra fluctuations in his Chakra Sensing range.

Until he flew back to a distance of about seven kilometers, faint, almost transparent flames appeared in the sky within his Chakra Sensing vision.

This was the Chakra flame that Kenshi's unique Chakra Sensing could detect.

Kenshi stopped in front of the almost transparent Chakra flames and carefully sensed them.

"Four people!"

"It's those four Konoha ninjas!"

After a while, comparing the Chakra fluctuations from the four Konoha ninjas that his shadow clone had sensed before, Kenshi judged that the four Konoha ninjas had been staying here.

Kenshi turned his head and looked around. There was no one, and there was no one within his Chakra Sensing range. But he had already guessed that the four Konoha ninjas had been observing him from outside his Chakra Sensing range.

"Heh, you think you can hide from me?"

Kenshi's lips curled into a slight smile. Then, he directly controlled the Black Iron giant eagle to turn and fly away.

"Huh... Why did he suddenly stop at the place where we were just now?"

"Did he discover something?"

"Hmm... Why did he fly back?"

Sarutobi Ayase saw Kenshi suddenly stop at their previous location for a moment, then, as if he had sensed something, suddenly turned back.

"No good."

At this time, Hyuga Sika exclaimed, suddenly realizing, "Kenshi has powerful Chakra Sensing abilities. He can sense the Chakra naturally leaking from our bodies that lingers in the air."

Hearing this, the other three changed their expressions. Echizen Ryōma frowned and said, "His Chakra Sensing ability is also so strong?"

Chakra naturally leaks from a ninja's body. This is unavoidable. Even the strongest ninja can't control all the Chakra in their body from leaking naturally.

The natural leakage of Chakra is like heat transfer. It's irreversible. You can only try to reduce the speed of leakage, not completely prevent it.

All ninjas leave behind some Chakra traces wherever they go, for a short time.

These Chakra traces are very faint, especially for them, ANBU ninjas who are proficient in Chakra concealment. The Chakra traces they leave behind are even fainter.

Moreover, they also exist for a very short time, quickly dissipating into the natural environment.

Even the Byakugan would find it difficult to detect these Chakra traces that would quickly dissipate.

Especially since they were in the air, the faint Chakra traces naturally leaking from their bodies would be quickly blown away by the air currents, making the already faint Chakra traces even fainter, almost impossible to detect.

But now, judging from Kenshi's reaction, he had clearly sensed the Chakra traces that even the Byakugan would find difficult to detect.

This shows how terrifying Kenshi's Chakra Sensing ability is.

This level of Chakra Sensing ability, combined with his soul sensing ability, makes it basically impossible to ambush him.

Only overwhelming strength could defeat and seal him.

"Ayase, send the intelligence back to Konoha." Sarutobi Tenjū said.

"Understood." Sarutobi Ayase replied.

Their mission was primarily to track Kenshi and gather intelligence about his abilities. The more difficult abilities Kenshi revealed, the better.

This would prevent them from being caught off guard on the day of their life-or-death battle.

But thinking about Kenshi's abilities now, the four couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

The four stood on the ink bird, continuing to track Kenshi at a distance of seven kilometers, their eyes constantly pondering how to deal with the current Kenshi.

Jutsu, taijutsu, high resistance to both, a special constitution that is immune to genjutsu, and a mastery of sealing jutsu.

Now, his sensing ability is also so powerful.

To be honest, with Kenshi's abilities revealed so far, even if he didn't have powerful jutsu, genjutsu, or taijutsu, he would already be a powerful ninja without any obvious weaknesses.

At least, facing such a Kenshi, the four of them couldn't find any way to defeat him.

The only chance might be to find a possible flaw in Kenshi's battle and deliver a fatal blow, which would be the only way to win.

But just thinking about the fact that even the Third Hokage and Mito-sama couldn't find such a flaw in battle to deliver a fatal blow to Kenshi, you could tell that Kenshi's combat talent was definitely not weak.

Thinking back to the process of tracking Kenshi all the way.

Several times, they were tricked by his shadow clones.

Just now, he suddenly realized that they might be tracking him, so he turned back to confirm if they were really following him.

This cautious personality, coupled with his good combat talent, combined with his combat abilities that have no obvious weaknesses.

Besides overwhelming strength and surprise attacks, the four couldn't think of any way to defeat Kenshi.

"I hope Father can find a way to deal with Kenshi soon!"

Sarutobi Tenjū sighed inwardly. Kenshi's growth rate was too fast. Every time he revealed a new ability, it would break through their understanding.

If this continued, they wouldn't be able to deal with Kenshi anymore.

Only by quickly finding a fatal tactic to seal him could they completely eliminate him forever.
