Chapter 123 Mission
"It is indeed the three magatama! Your name is Uchiha Qingming, right? Very good, very good!"

In a tent at the base camp, an Uchiha Jonin looked into Qingming's eyes and spoke excitedly.

At this time, ten days had passed since Qingming opened the Three-Magneto Sharingan, and his reputation as an Uchiha genius gradually spread.

Therefore, on the first day when he returned to the base camp, the Uchiha clan sent a senior ninja to confirm it.

Qing Ming also knew this jonin. He was the Uchiha jonin who taught him the 'Uchiha style swordsmanship' and the skills to use the Sharingan after he exposed his Sharingan.

"Haha~"

The other party laughed loudly and said excitedly: "Our Uchiha clan has produced two geniuses at once. This is really cause for celebration!"

"two?"

Hearing this, Qing Ming showed a hint of doubt.

Seeing this, the Uchiha Jonin was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and said, "Oh, by the way, you have been on the western defense line all this time, it is normal that you don't know.

In the north, a boy named Uchiha Shisui also opened the Three Magatama Sharingan not long ago."

At this point, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said, "I remember that guy came to the battlefield with you, right? Do you know him?"

'Sure enough it was him. '

Qing Ming was calm, but his face showed surprise. He asked, "He also opened the three magatama?"

"Haha~"

Seemingly satisfied with Qingming's reaction, Uchiha Jonin patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Now you know, there are always people who are better than you, that kid."

"Tsk tsk~"

The Uchiha Jonin shook his head, his tone suddenly becoming extremely complicated, and he said with emotion: "That kid is incredible!"

Qingming could understand his complicated feelings.

After all, anyone who sees a kid who is much younger than him/herself grow up quickly to the same level as him/herself will inevitably feel a sense of frustration that "he/she is living a dog's life at such an old age."

'Well, maybe there is some impact from me.'

For a moment, Qing Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

After a long silence, the Uchiha jonin spoke again: "Since you have awakened the three-magatama Sharingan, your promotion to jonin should be put on the agenda.

You don’t have to worry about the rest, just prepare well these days, I guess I’ll assign you a task that’s not easy.”

"Is this an assessment mission?"

Qing Ming asked.

"Well, that's right!"

The Uchiha jonin nodded and said, "Although in theory, to be promoted to jonin, you only need the joint recommendation of three other jonin.

But generally speaking, the village would arrange a mission for testing to ensure that the recommended person had the ability of a Jonin.

Therefore, you can also regard this mission as a jonin test."

"Is this so"

After a pause, Qing Ming suddenly said seriously: "Thank you for your advice, uncle."

Hearing this, Uchiha Jonin waved his hand and said, "What's there to thank me for? The mission will be given in three to five days at the shortest, or seven to eight days at the longest. You should prepare well."

"I understand, uncle."

Qingming replied.

"Well, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Having said that, the Uchiha Jonin turned and walked out.

Seeing this, Qingming quickly said, "I'll take you there!"

After sending this Uchiha Jonin out of the tent, Qing Ming stopped and pondered for a long time as he watched his gradually disappearing back.

After a while, he came to his senses and returned to the tent. Without any hesitation, he immediately used the "Shadow Clone Technique" to create a shadow clone to stay here instead of himself, and he quietly left the base camp and headed for the western defense line.

That’s right, this time during his ‘vacation’, he didn’t send a shadow clone to fool people, but he returned to the base in person.

The reason for doing this is to take into account the attention that the Three Magatama Sharingan might attract.

As expected, the Uchiha clan directly sent a senior ninja to verify.

Although the Sharingan cannot see through the shadow clone, the Sharingan manifested by the shadow clone itself is a huge flaw.

A short contact would be fine, but if it lasted for a long time, the Uchiha Jonin who also had the three-magatama Sharingan might notice something unusual.

So, just in case, he came back here in person and managed not to reveal any flaws.

Now that the work has been done, it is time for him to return to the underground cave and take care of everything.

A few hours later, Qingming returned to the familiar underground cave.

It can be predicted that he will not be able to come here again for a long time.

In this case, the eleven Sand Ninjas imprisoned in the deep place cannot be kept.

Of course, this doesn't mean that he has to get rid of them immediately. There are still a few days before the mission is issued, so he can draw chakra for a few more days.

We have finally gathered so many 'chakra batteries', we cannot waste them, we must make the best use of them.

Based on this, Qingming increased the intensity of chakra extraction in the next few days, and obtained nearly 30% more chakra.

However, because of this, the vitality of those Sand Ninjas is rapidly draining away. It is estimated that if this happens a few more times, they will naturally die without Qingming taking any direct action.

In response, Qing Ming just glanced at it and ignored it.

······
In a flash, a week passed by.

At noon that day, Qingming was practicing the 'Art of Reflecting the Heart', quietly feeling the changes in his Sharingan, when suddenly a memory came to his mind.

Qing Ming frowned slightly and quickly browsed through this part of the memory.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and muttered, "Have they left the base camp?"

That’s right, this memory is exactly the memory of the shadow clone who stayed at the base camp.

The other party had already received the mission, left the base camp, and was rushing to the mission location.

Of course, this is obvious.

In fact, not long after the shadow clone left, he took the initiative to cancel the "Shadow Clone Technique" and passed the relevant memories to him.

Next, he himself was the one who actually carried out the task.

"Go to the Land of Earth and collect relevant information about the war between the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Cloud Village. Record the losses of both sides, especially the losses of the Hidden Rock Village, and provide reference for the headquarters to formulate a counterattack plan."

Qingming murmured, repeating the task requirements with a slightly strange expression.

"Counterattack? Are you kidding me?"

If he remembered correctly, in this battle it seemed that the Hidden Cloud Village caught the Hidden Iwagakure Village off guard, and they were advancing rapidly all the way, almost reaching the doorstep of the Hidden Iwagakure Village.

But in fact, the Iwagakure Village had already received the intelligence, and now it was just luring the enemy deeper.

I'm afraid that Ohnoki has already mobilized a large army to encircle the elite Kumogakure troops led by the Third Raikage.

If his butterfly wings had no effect on that side, the Third Raikage would be forced to fight for his life against 10,000 Rock Ninjas to cover the retreat of the elite Kumogakure.

However, the elite members of the Hidden Cloud Village withdrew, but the Third Raikage stayed permanently.

As a result, the morale of the Hidden Cloud Village plummeted.

On the contrary, after the death of the Third Raikage, the morale of the ninjas of the Iwagakure Village soared, and they soon launched a large-scale attack on the front line.

"In this situation, you still want to counterattack? We'll be lucky if we can withstand the attack from the Hidden Rock Village."

Qing Ming shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and began to deal with the Sand Ninjas deep in the cave.
