Chapter 300 Response
The moon sets and the sun rises.

In the blink of an eye, several hours passed.

The time came to the next morning.

Facing the rising sun, Qingming is leading the team forward.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and quickly raised his right arm, signaling everyone behind him to stop.

Soon, everyone stopped and became alert.

After a moment, Uchiha Shisui, who was in charge of the rear guard, passed the entire team and came to Qingming and asked, "What's wrong, Qingming?"

Qing Ming shook his head and said, "There seems to be someone in front."

His tone was uncertain.

Although Qingming's mental power has increased significantly due to the opening of the Mangekyō Sharingan, his utilization rate is average because he has not practiced perception ninjutsu.

It's okay at close range, even a covert spy like Aburame Ryoma can be detected, but at a long distance, it's a bit powerless.

Just like now, he could only vaguely sense that a group of ninjas were approaching them, but he had no idea how.

At this moment, he missed the special jonin from the Hyuga clan in his previous team very much. If he were there, he would be able to see the truth at a glance.

Unfortunately, when the attack occurred, as a ninja of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Tobika received special attention from the enemy and was directly surrounded and killed by several special jonin of the Kirigakure.

Now, the only perception-type ninja in the team has a smaller perception range than him, which made Qingming shake his head.

However, Uchiha Shisui didn't know what Qingming was thinking. He was immediately shocked when he heard Qingming's words and asked quickly: "Is it the Mist Ninja? Or..."

He didn't continue speaking because there were people nearby.

But Qingming still knew what he wanted to ask.

Before this, Qing Ming had already found time to tell the other party about the existence of Aburame Ryoma and others.

Of course, he didn't go into details, only saying that he had secretly discovered several ninjas suspected to be from the Root organization who were monitoring them and had been killed by him.

Obviously, what Uchiha Shisui wanted to ask without saying anything was whether these people were other or remaining Root ninjas?
However, Qingming found it unlikely.

Having read Ryoma Aburame's memories, he knew very well that only their team would participate in this mission.

Except for the spy hidden in the Hidden Mist Village, Faceless, all the others had been killed by him, and there were no remaining enemies at all.

As for sending someone else
The root tissue should not react so quickly.

To put it another way, even if they got the news, they couldn't send people here so quickly, unless
Danzo also sent another group of people to participate in this mission from the very beginning.

But this is almost impossible.

Given Aburame Ryoma's position under the other party, there was no way Danzo would have kept this from him if there had been such an arrangement.

Therefore, Qingming is still inclined to believe that these people are from other forces.

But which specific force it is and whether it is an enemy or a friend requires careful identification.

After a little thought, Qingming decided to take the initiative.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming said directly to Uchiha Shisui: "You and the others stay here to guard, I'll be back soon."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui opened his mouth and wanted to say that he could go, but when he thought of the gap between him and Uchiha Qingming, he couldn't say the words.

In the end, he could only nod and say, "Be careful!"

"Ah."

Qing Ming responded simply, then rushed forward. After a few leaps, he disappeared into the dense forest.

Uchiha Shisui looked at his disappearing back, turned back and said to everyone: "Everyone disperse, be on guard!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The twenty Konoha ninjas responded and dispersed in all directions. In the blink of an eye, the place was empty.

At least that's what it looks like on the surface.

······
Meanwhile. On the other side.

After Qingming left the team, he immediately accelerated and ran straight towards the direction he sensed.

With his current strength, he still needs to act with caution, but there is no need to be timid.

So, in just less than two minutes, he found his target.

However, what surprised him was that these people were actually Konoha ninjas, and the leader was a Jonin from the Uchiha clan.

Although the other party was wearing a standard vest, the Uchiha clan emblem on his shoulders was still clearly visible.

"Who?"

It seemed that because the result was unexpected, Qingming inadvertently leaked a trace of his aura, causing the leading Uchiha Jonin to discover his whereabouts.

He immediately opened his Sharingan and threw several kunai at me.

Qing Ming quickly drew out his dagger, and with a few clangs, he knocked away the incoming kunai. At the same time, he opened his Sharingan and revealed his figure.

Among Uchiha ninjas, it is very easy to prove their identity. They just need to open the Sharingan.

Sure enough, when the other party saw his Sharingan, he immediately raised his hand and stopped the people behind him who were about to attack.

Seeing this, Qingming flashed and came to the front of the team.

The leading Uchiha jonin saw him, identified him carefully, and then said, "Are you Uchiha Qingming?"

Hearing this, Qing Ming was slightly stunned, thinking to himself, is he so famous that the other party recognized him at a glance?

As if he had guessed Qingming's thoughts, the Uchiha jonin smiled and said, "Boy, my name is Uchiha Eighth Generation. According to seniority, I should be your uncle. A few days ago, Elder Huoxuan sent a message saying that you are coming over and asked us to take care of you."

Hearing this, Qingming suddenly remembered that Uchiha Huoxuan seemed to have said something similar at the beginning, telling him not to worry when he arrived at the Kirigakure battlefield, as there would be someone to take care of him.

Now it seems that this is not just empty talk.

However, these can be put on hold for now. Qing Ming looked at the other party and the people behind him and asked, "Uncle, what are you doing?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Yashiro's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said angrily: "Not long ago, I just received news that a group of elite Mist Ninjas actually broke through the northern defense line.

And looking at the direction they were heading, it just happened to overlap with your route, so I brought people to pick them up.

However, I feel relieved to see that you are okay. Fortunately, you didn't run into those guys, otherwise the consequences would be really unpredictable.

Oh, by the way, I remember that boy Shisui was with you, right? Where is he?"

However, when Qing Ming heard the other party's words, his expression suddenly became strange.

In the end, he did not hide it and told others that he and others had been attacked.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Uchiha Yashiro lost his composure and asked in surprise: "What? You actually encountered those Mist Ninjas and were ambushed. How did you escape? Where are the others?"

Hearing his words, the Konoha ninjas behind him also became alert, as if they were afraid that the enemy would follow Qingming here.

Seeing their reactions, Qing Ming knew that they were overthinking, so he quickly told them what happened next.

After listening to his narration, Uchiha Yashiro was speechless for a long time.

After a long while, he came back to his senses and asked in disbelief, "You actually beat back those Mist Ninjas, how is that possible?"

Hearing this, Qing Ming did not explain, but just said: "We will talk about the specific process later. Our people are still behind us. Do we need to meet first?"

"Well, it's time to meet first!"

Hearing this, Uchiha Yashiro collected his thoughts, nodded, and said.

Afterwards, the group, led by Qingming, went to the place where Uchiha Shisui and others were hiding.

However, Qingming could see that these people were still somewhat wary of him.

Qingming ignored this. After the two sides made peace, they would naturally let down their guard.
