Chapter 271 Shennong
This Anbu ninja who is lurking in the territory of the Fire Country and carrying out the mission of collecting intelligence is one of the few Anbu ninjas with strong perception. That is why he was sent to the Fire Country to carry out missions.
After all, sensory ninjas are relatively scarce in the big ninja villages, and most of the sensory ninjas in the Anbu serve in the interrogation squad, barrier squad, signal squad, and communication squad.
If this guy did not have a strong perception ability and his combat power could rival that of a jonin, and could even fight against an elite jonin, the Anbu would definitely not send him out.
So, it just happened by chance.
Originally, no one would doubt an old man with superb medical skills who looked like he had nothing to do with a ninja. Even the underground gold exchange and the Hidden Mist Village Anbu excluded this old man who had the same name as the leader of the Sky Ninja.
However, this ANBU with strong perception ability, when he was routinely sensing the town where he was lurking yesterday, he suddenly sensed a person with extremely huge chakra in the town. The amount of his chakra was even greater than that of the ANBU Changjian who already had the strength of a Kage!
After some secret investigation, the Anbu was surprised to find that Doctor Shennong, who had been excluded by their Anbu, actually had more chakra than the Anbu Changken who had the strength of a Kage!
Therefore, this Anbu immediately transmitted this information back to the Hidden Mist Village via the chakra radio sealed in the scroll that he carried with him at all times.
On the other hand, the Hidden Mist Village combined various pieces of information and quickly confirmed the true identity of Doctor Shennong. He was none other than Shennong, the leader of the Sky Ninja Village whom Qingsi had ordered to be hunted down!
Thus, Shennong, who had been hiding his identity for many years and secretly plotting to subvert and conquer the ninja world, was exposed just like that without him knowing anything...!
Although Shennong possessed the strength of a Kage after his outbreak thanks to forbidden medical techniques and the Eight Gates Ninjutsu he stole from Konoha, his perception ability was very average. He failed to detect the snooping and investigation of this Anbu. At this time, he was still leisurely disguising himself as a doctor, practicing medicine in the town.
-----------------
Soon, Uzumaki Shinki and Xiguashan Pufferfish Demon accepted their mission from Qingsi to find the leader of the Sky Ninja Village and capture him alive!
As for why they still need to find Shennong's location, it is because Shennong's approximate location has been confirmed. Since his disguised identity is not a ninja, but just an ordinary doctor with superb medical skills, then based on the movement trajectory of ordinary people, even if the Anbu does not continue to follow Shennong, Shennong will not be too far away from the town where he was found.
Moreover, although Shennong did not notice the perception and detection of the Anbu at that time, it does not mean that he will not be able to find someone following him. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the Anbu Minister Jian still ordered the Anbu to continue to perform his original mission.
Therefore, the task of finding Shennong's specific location fell on Uzumaki Shinki, the patriarch of the Uzumaki clan of the Hidden Mist Village, who possessed the super perception ability of "Kagura's Mind's Eye".

A week later.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen and Uzumaki Shinki, led by Xiguashan Pufferfish Demon, landed in the southern part of the Fire Country, sneaked into the territory of the Fire Country, and then quickly rushed to the town in the southern part of the Fire Country near the border of the Bear Country where Shennong's traces were discovered.
"Chief Xinxi!" The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost called softly, signaling Uzumaki Xinxi that he could start sensing.
"Wakada!" Uzumaki Shinki nodded, then slowly closed his eyes and formed the Mi Seal with his hands.
As chakra surged, the invisible mind's eye instantly spread out, and then continued to extend rapidly into the distance. Uzumaki Shinki, who was already 16 years old, had already possessed strength close to that of an elite jonin, as the Uzumaki clan's inheritance was intact without any loss. His precise perception ability had a range of roughly tens of kilometers. If it was a fuzzy perception, the farthest perception distance of his "Kagura Mind's Eye" could even reach more than a hundred kilometers!
(The perception distance is based on Uzumaki Karin's setting.)
About four or five minutes later, an extremely strong chakra signal appeared in Uzumaki Shinki's perception.
The Anbu had already described to Uzumaki Shinki the approximate chakra strength of Shennong as perceived, so he was extremely certain that the chakra signal that appeared in the southwest direction must be the Shennong they were looking for.
"Found it...about 160 kilometers southwest! Let's go~!" Uzumaki Shinki smiled and said in an affirmative tone.
The seven Kage-level warriors of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen looked at Uzumaki Shinki in astonishment. This Uzumaki clan was too outrageous. They could sense something from such a long distance!
It was their first time to work with the Uzumaki clan on a mission, and they were shocked. At the same time, they were secretly glad for the Mizukage's decision to bring the Uzumaki clan back to the Hidden Mist Village. If this kind of ability appeared in Konoha, it would be hard to imagine how much the strength of Konoha Village would be enhanced...!
