Chapter 267 News and Evacuation

Two hours later.

As a huge sealing formation rose up, the huge body of the Four-Tailed Fox was restrained, then quickly shrank and disappeared.

No, to be more precise, it did not disappear, but was sealed back into Lao Zi's body.

It’s just that Qingming was too far away from him, and Lao Zi was too small, so he seemed to have disappeared in Qingming’s eyes.

Feeling the oppressive atmosphere in the air disappear, Qing Ming withdrew his gaze and returned to the Xiaogu Village base.

"Captain, did you find anything?"

As soon as he came back, several Konoha jonin came forward to ask questions.

Qing Ming heard this and shook his head. Without saying much, he just said, "It's the Four-Tailed Fox from the Hidden Rock Village that's out of control. Arrange the patrol personnel and go back to rest. We'll talk about other things tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, several Konoha jonin looked at each other, then said goodbye and left.

Now, no one treats Qingming as a twelve-year-old child.

As his strength continued to be revealed, his aura grew stronger and stronger, and these special jonin dared not go against his wishes.

Therefore, when I heard his words at this time, even though I still had a lot of doubts in my heart, I could only suppress them for the time being.

The reason why Qingming was unwilling to say too much was, firstly, there was no need, and secondly, many things were just his guesses, things without basis, so he didn't want to say more.

Therefore, for the specific situation, please refer to what is said above.

Qingming believed that it would not be too late.

As it turned out, Omura Yuito's reaction was even quicker than he expected, as if he had been prepared for it. He received the news almost at dawn.

Qing Ming took the information from a messenger Chunin and quickly read through it.

As he browsed on, he finally had a more detailed understanding of what happened last night.

Just as he expected, the loss of control of the Four-Tailed Fox last night was indeed related to their actions.

And their action, just as he had expected, was still a decapitation operation.

Yes, given the current situation, there seems to be no other way to effectively stop the advancement of the Iwagakure Village except beheading.

After all, the competition between the two villages is still a test of hard power. Some small calculations and tricks may achieve temporary victory, but they will never lead to the final victory.

On this front, Konoha is currently in a position of overall weak strength, so it can only adopt the low-cost and effective method of "decapitation operation" to delay the enemy.

However, unlike the last time when he targeted the Iwagakure's command system, this time Omura Yuito set his sights on beheading Lao Zi and Han.

As the Four-Tails Jinchuriki and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, once they die, the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails will enter the resurrection stage.

Without these two powerful weapons, the offensive momentum of the Iwagakure Village will definitely be frustrated, or even come to a standstill.

This way, they have a chance to catch their breath.

It has to be said that if the plan really succeeds, the situation may really change.

But the problem is, the plan failed.

It is not clear whether the information provided by the undercover agent is problematic or whether the Iwagakure Village accidentally arranged more guards.

In short, last night's actions were exposed ahead of time.

In the end, even with the Kage-level master Minato Namikaze taking action personally, he was unable to decapitate the target.

However, their actions were not without results.

At the very least, the Four-Tails was once again out of control by them. Although the action team paid the price of the lives of two real jonin and four special jonin, the loss of the Rock Ninja was undoubtedly greater.

After all, the Four-Tails got out of control in their camp.

Even though the Iwagakure high-level officials had long been prepared for such an incident, they had arranged for Lao Zi and Han to live in more remote locations.

However, considering the huge size of the Four-Tailed Fox, that distance is nothing.

As a result, plus the price paid for re-sealing the Four-Tails later, at least two to three hundred Rock Ninjas were killed last night.

After seeing the village's estimated report, Qingming finally understood why so many people were prejudiced against the Jinchūriki. In a situation like this where a large number of people died out of control, no one would feel good about it.

After all, these people are not alone, they also have their own relatives and friends. They died at the hands of the Jinchūriki. Don’t their relatives and friends have any opinions?
Therefore, it is almost inevitable that the Jinchūriki will be hostile to the villagers. After all, which village’s Jinchūriki has never lost control?
"Hey, I've strayed off topic. Let's see what Omura Yuito will do next!"

Thinking of this, Qing Ming continued to look at the information in his hand.

And when he saw the other party's subsequent arrangements, he knew that his feeling was correct. Omura Yuito was indeed prepared for the possibility of mission failure.

According to the opponent's order, all peripheral outposts must be evacuated within one day, and all personnel will gather in Fengliu Town.

Then, all personnel moved together to a base further behind.

In other words, the Fengliu Town stronghold was about to be abandoned.

Qingming didn't find this result strange.

As a Jonin, he knew much more information than ordinary Konoha ninjas and knew that Fengliu Town's defense force had already reached its limit.

Especially in the past month, the Iwagakure Village has been frantically attacking the outskirts of Fengliu Town, continuously bleeding the Fengliu Town strongholds, which has made their manpower even more tight.

In this case, if you continue to persist, it will mean chronic death.

It is estimated that Omura Yuito also saw this, which is why he planned last night's action and made preparations for both situations.

If they succeed, they will probably hold on, but if they fail, that's what it is now, everyone is retreating together.

Of course, this must have been discussed with the rear base.

Otherwise, how could Omura Yuito, the commander of a mere front-line stronghold, have the right to make such a major strategic adjustment?
You know, if they retreat, other strongholds on the same front line will also have to retreat, which is equivalent to moving the entire front line backwards.

In this situation, Omura Yuito would never dare to issue this order without the consent of the headquarters.

And now that this order has come down, it means that the base camp is ready to shrink the defense line as a whole.

“It’s just this time.”

Qing Ming looked at the total two days of evacuation time, frowned, and wondered if this time was too short.
One day to withdraw to the Fengliu Town stronghold, and the next day to move to the rear, wouldn't that be non-stop work?
However, since he had been told to do so, he had no choice but to carry out the order.

Putting away the information in his hand, Qing Ming sent away the messenger Chunin and immediately notified several Jonin in the base to come over and assign tasks.

When they heard that they had to evacuate, they were surprised but didn't say much. They all went downstairs to prepare.

At noon that day, everyone in the entire stronghold packed up their things, leaving no supplies behind in the Iwagakure Village. They took everything with them and rushed to the Fengliu Town stronghold more than 20 kilometers away.

Originally, Qingming was worried that the Hidden Rock Village would come forward to intercept him.

But it turned out that he thought too much.

The Iwagakure ninjas are also currently overwhelmed by the Four-Tails' out-of-control situation last night, and have no time or energy to take care of them.

So, they arrived at the Fengliu Town stronghold smoothly.
