Chapter 269 Half a month in a hurry
Before I knew it, it was already the next afternoon.

Qing Ming and Hinata Linghuo also arrived at the target base, which was a small town about a hundred kilometers behind Fengliu Town, called Shuanghe Town.

This town is located on a plain, with two rivers converging outside, so it is named Shuanghe Town.

Next, what they need to defend is the entire front line centered on this small town stronghold.

Of course, it was not just them who were responsible for the defense, but also the second-line troops originally stationed here.

Standing on the top of the mountain, looking at Shuanghe Town from afar, Qingming did not choose to go over, but said to Hinata Linghuo: "Linghuo, take a look, is there any problem?"

Although he could roughly see the situation of the town with the help of the Sharingan and was basically sure that there was no problem there, but just in case, it would be safer to let Hinata Linghuo take a look as well.

After all, rolling your eyes is what professionals do in this area.

After hearing his words, Hinata Linghuo nodded without any nonsense, then raised his hand to concentrate and opened his Byakugan.

In an instant, blue veins popped up beside his eyes, and a faint blue color appeared in Hinata Linghuo's pure white pupils, and a faint black mark emerged.

This is the sign that the Byakugan is activated.

Qingming took a glance and then looked away.

On the side, Hinata Linghuo looked at Shuanghe Town from a distance. After a moment, he closed his eyes, nodded at Qingming, and said, "No problem."

Hearing this, Qing Ming was completely relieved and said, "Well, just send a message to the main force and tell them that everything is normal!"

"it is good!"

Hinata Linghuo responded, quickly took out a pen and paper, and explained the situation here.

Then, he pulled out a palm-sized green bird from his arms and stuffed the information into the mailbox on its leg.

Then, he threw it with both hands and let it fly out.

The messenger bird flapped its wings, circled in the air for a few times, gave a clear cry, and then flew in the direction it came from.

This is the summoned beast of a Konoha ninja in the large army. Although it has no combat power, it is very useful for transmitting information.

When it flew out of sight, Hinata Linghuo retracted his gaze, looked at Qingming, pointed at Shuanghe Town, and said: "Qingming, are we going over there?"

Hearing this, Qing Ming pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's wait for the main force to arrive before we go together."

It’s not that Qingming is worried about any problems in Shuanghe Town.

After checking with his Sharingan and Hinata Linghuo's Byakugan, if there is still a problem, then these two great eye techniques would be wasted.

Qingming is mainly afraid of trouble!
Although they had no problem entering the town with their reconnaissance team's credentials, verification still took time.

Qingming didn't want to waste time and energy, so he simply waited for the main force to arrive and then went in together. Anyway, he wouldn't have to wait too long.

About two hours later, near dusk, accompanied by the sound of rolling wheels, the large army finally arrived.

That is to say, the majority of the troops are made up of ninjas, whose physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Otherwise, it would take at least two or three days to transport such a large amount of supplies from Fengliu Town, which is a hundred kilometers away, to here.

And what about them?

It only took a dozen hours, which is quite fast.

When the team approached, Qing Ming and Hinata Linghuo appeared. After verifying their identities, they reintegrated into the team.

The large force continued to move forward, and after a short while, they were discovered by the patrol troops from Shuanghe Town, and the two sides began negotiations.

The advantage of integrating into a large force is that Qingming doesn't have to worry about miscellaneous matters, as there will be corresponding personnel to take care of them.

Soon, the two sides finished the negotiation, and Qingming and his companions entered Shuanghe Town in a short time. Looking at this town which was slightly larger than Fengliu Town, Qingming thought to himself, "I wonder how long we can hold on to this town?"

······
Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Ever since entering Shuanghe Town, the war seemed to be far away from them. For a full half month, Qingming did not receive any combat missions.

However, he knew it was just an illusion.

The reason why it has been so peaceful in the past half month is that the Rock Ninjas are still digesting the newly acquired territory and rebuilding their defenses.

After completing these tasks, they will surely be greeted with even more ferocious attacks.

But no matter what, he at least got a rare period of peaceful time to practice.

Qing Ming did not waste this time. Every day he was either practicing or on his way to practice, and he seemed extremely busy.

Others were not surprised by this. At most, they would sigh: No wonder he has such strength at such a young age, it turns out he has worked hard for it!

In fact, because of his encouragement, some ninjas even practiced harder than before.

However, these have nothing to do with Qingming.

He still did his own things every day, meticulously carried out his training plan, and silently improved the levels of various skills.

This evening.

On a low hill not far from Shuanghe Town.

Qing Ming sat cross-legged on a huge rock, performing the 'Heart-Reflecting Technique' over and over again, driving the Sharingan to continue to evolve.

In the woods not far behind him, four shadow clones each occupied an area, pondering and practicing "Wind Style: Wind Blade" and "Rasengan".

Unlike the quietness on the original body's side, the shadow clone's side was quite noisy.

From time to time, one or two wind blades would fly out, or there would be the sound of a Rasengan exploding when hitting the target.

The nearby trees and land had already been riddled with holes due to the destruction of these two skills, as if they had experienced a great war.

Qing Ming seemed to be completely unaware of the noise made by his shadow clone and continued to sit there quietly.

This perfect fusion of movement and stillness is so beautiful that any painter would praise it and quickly pick up his pen to paint to record this scene.

Unfortunately, no one dared to spy on Qingming's training area, so naturally there were no painters.

Tick ​​tock~tick tock~
An unknown amount of time had passed before Qing Ming suddenly stopped practicing the 'Art of Reflecting the Heart' and looked back at the four shadow clones that were practicing in the forest.

With a thought, he released the 'Shadow Clone Technique'.

Immediately, the four figures turned into four balls of chakra smoke.

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of cultivation experience and memories flooded into Qingming's mind.

With his strong spirit and will, Qing Ming suppressed the discomfort in his mind and began to organize and absorb these experiences and memories.

As the process progressed, the proficiency of 'Wind Style: Wind Blade' and 'Rasengan' on his panel began to increase rapidly.

Time passes minute by minute.

At a certain moment, a sense of enlightenment suddenly emerged in my mind.

Qing Ming comprehended it carefully, and suddenly felt that his understanding of 'Wind Style: Wind Blade' had risen to a higher level.
