Chapter 147 Surveillance
Hey~
The kunai and the dagger collided, making a crisp sound.

Seeing Qing Ming putting away his sword to block again, the Anbu captain's face was extremely gloomy under his mask. He then took a few leaps back and distanced himself.

Seeing this, although Lingyin didn't understand the reason, she also stopped attacking and just looked at Qingming vigilantly.

'Qing Ming' stood where he was, looking at the Iwagakure Anbu who suddenly distanced themselves from him, and the gloomy eyes under his mask, and he immediately understood what he must have discovered.

So, he stopped being tense and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Keep going!"

Hearing his words, the Anbu captain suddenly said in a calm tone: "Sure enough, you are not Uchiha Qingming, or you are just one of his shadow clones."

"Shadow clone?"

Upon hearing this, Lingyin immediately looked towards Qingming, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, but not in an unacceptable way.

Obviously, both the ANBU captain and Suzune were mentally prepared for this situation.

Qingming didn't think it was strange that his identity was discovered. The other party might not be able to see any difference with the naked eye, but it was not difficult to guess the answer.

A shadow clone is still a shadow clone after all, and because of its limited ability to withstand damage, it is destined to make some strange moves.

For example, in order to avoid some non-fatal injuries, they frequently give up excellent offensive opportunities.

This kind of action is okay once or twice, and we can think that he doesn't want to get hurt, but if it happens too often, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

Because no ninja in the ninja world would do this.

'Qing Ming' estimated that the Anbu captain in front of him guessed the identity of his shadow clone through his strange behavior.

However, what surprised him was that the other party's reaction was so calm, as if he had expected it.

"Could it be that"

Qing Ming suddenly seemed to think of something, his eyes swept from the two of them, then looked at the surrounding jungle, muttering: "No way..."

"Is the plan going to change again?"

Qingming was speechless.

At this moment, an invisible wave hit him, causing his body to tremble involuntarily.

Qing Ming looked up and saw that the female ninja who had been playing a supporting role suddenly performed a large-scale attack ninjutsu.

An invisible sound wave centered on her, spreading out rapidly in circles like a wave.

Along the way, whether it is flowers, trees, snakes, insects, rats or ants, they will vibrate involuntarily when they encounter this circle of sound waves.

Moreover, as the attack continued, the vibration continued to grow stronger.

Being under attack, Qingming only felt that the various structures that made up his body were shaking rapidly, as if they would fall apart at any time.

This reminded Qingming of a word - resonance.

If this is true, then the potential of this technique is extremely terrifying.

However, this has little to do with him anymore.

The opponent attacked in such an unreasonable way because he was targeting the weakness of the shadow clone's limited ability to withstand damage.

But if he did not escape from the attack range of the ninjutsu in the first place, his fate was already sealed.

So, Qing Ming stopped wasting chakra, raised his hands, and took the initiative to cancel the Shadow Clone Technique.

Looking at Qingming who turned into a ball of chakra and then disappeared, Lingyin finally stopped her ninjutsu and then began to breathe heavily.

Obviously, performing this kind of ninjutsu was a huge burden on her.

After a while, Suzune came to the Anbu captain and said, "Captain, I'm ready. Let's go!"

"Ah."

The ANBU captain responded before he and Suzune retraced their steps and chased after their other two teammates.

The direction these two people were heading was exactly the direction Qingming's real body was escaping.

It turned out that Qingming had not been able to escape the pursuit of the Iwagakure Anbu from beginning to end, but the other party could not tell the difference between the two paths, which one was his real escape route.

So, the troops split into two groups and started the pursuit. That's why the Anbu captain and Suzune seemed so calm after they found out that the target they were chasing was the shadow clone.

······
the other side.

Qing Ming, who was running fast in the forest, suddenly stopped. He quickly separated a part of his mind to read the memories that suddenly appeared in his mind.

After a moment, his face darkened.

Naturally, he could also think of what the shadow clone could think of. The overly calm reactions of the two people were indeed a bit abnormal.

Combined with the pressure they put on the shadow clones, Qing Ming felt that the enemies might not be just those two.

Although the Anbu captain was strong, he was not strong enough to pose a fatal threat to him, even with the assistance of a special jonin who was good at sonic ninjutsu.

But his intuitive warning before was real.

Therefore, there are probably more enemies than just these two.

In other words, there is a high possibility that there are pursuers behind him.

Suddenly, Qingming stopped and looked back quickly.

One second, two seconds
Five seconds, ten seconds
Soon, a minute passed.

The rear was still as calm as usual, and there were no enemies at all.

"call--"

With a sigh of relief, Qing Ming retracted his gaze, then laughed at himself: "Since when did I become a frightened bird?"

Just think about it, even if there are pursuers behind him, with his speed over the past period of time, the other party may not be able to catch up.

And then, as long as he continued to move at this high speed, he would not be afraid of the so-called pursuers.

Qingming was about to hurry on his way, but at this moment, he suddenly felt something and looked up at the sky.

The next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted and his heart couldn't help but stop beating for a few seconds.

I saw an eagle circling under the moonlight, its eyes fixed on the earth, like a ghost, without making any sound.

If Qingming didn't have the Sharingan, he might not have been able to detect the other person.

Although this eagle was no different from other eagles, Qingming's intuition told him that this was the method used by the pursuers behind him to monitor him.

If he was just being pursued, even if he couldn't get rid of the enemy, he could still use his speed advantage to keep the enemy busy. As long as his specific whereabouts were not exposed, it would be difficult for the enemy to stop him.

But with this eagle as a monitor, the situation would be completely different. The opponent could completely grasp his escape route in advance and mobilize manpower to encircle and block him.

This is the advantage of playing at home.

"No, I have to get rid of this thing, otherwise I will end up in my pocket sooner or later."

Qingming's brain was working rapidly, thinking about how to deal with the current situation.

Qingming tried it, but with his current pupil power, he couldn't directly affect the eagle from such a long distance.

As for other ninjutsu, there is even less hope.

"It seems that we can only deal with the people behind him."

Qingming’s idea was very simple. Since he couldn’t deal with the eagle, he would deal with the person who controlled it. The result would be the same.

"Hey!"

With a light sigh, Qingming had originally thought about not getting entangled with the pursuers from the Hidden Rock Village, but plans can never keep up with changes.

In this situation, even if he wanted to avoid the fight, he couldn't.

Fortunately, part of the enemy's combat power was led to another road by the shadow clone, and they could not arrive in time.

In this way, as long as he moves more quickly, he should not be caught in the embarrassing situation of being besieged.
