Chapter 301 Meeting and Arrival

In the forest.

Uchiha Shisui and others are still hiding.

Suddenly, there was an undisguised sound of footsteps.

Immediately afterwards, Qingming appeared in the woods with dozens of ninjas.

Qing Ming glanced around and said directly: "Everyone come out!"

Hearing this, the ninjas, who were wrapped in bandages and looked a little weak, came out from their hiding places.

Seeing their miserable appearance, the people who came to support them finally believed that they were really ambushed.

Uchiha Shisui flashed to Qingming's side, looked at Uchiha Yashiro and others, and said: "Qingming, these are..."

Hearing this, Qing Ming pointed at Uchiha Yashiro and briefly introduced him, saying, "This is our uncle, Uchiha Yashiro. He heard that a Mist Ninja had broken through the defense line and was worried that we were in danger, so he brought people to support us."

"Oh, it's my uncle! Shisui has met my uncle!"

When Uchiha Shisui heard Qingming's words, he hurriedly bowed respectfully.

Hearing this, Uchiha Yashiro nodded, looked at Uchiha Shisui, and said: "You are Shisui? Not bad! Very good!"

After a brief acquaintance, Uchiha Yashiro did not exchange further pleasantries.

After all, there are still outsiders here, and many of them have just lost their companions and friends. If they are too enthusiastic about their own people at this time, it is very likely to cause dissatisfaction among these people.

Although Uchiha Yashiro doesn't care much about these things, he still needs to pay attention to the impact.

Then he started talking to others, asking about the whole story.

At the same time, people were sent to investigate the site of the previous battle to confirm the authenticity of the incident.

It’s not that he doesn’t believe what Qingming and others say, but it’s a necessary procedure.

The village also judges their merits based on this.

Otherwise, if you just report it casually, the village will record it as an A-level or S-level mission. How can it be that simple?
As a force, the most important thing is rules. Without rules, it will be a mess.

Qingming didn't care much about this.

On the contrary, the arrival of these people finally allowed him to relax.

To be honest, he has little interest in managing people.

With this time, he might as well practice the 'Palm Immortal Technique' a few more times!

Before, if the situation had not been urgent, the captain and vice-captain had both sacrificed their lives, and Uchiha Shisui had difficulty convincing the people, he really would not have taken over this mess.

Now, with the presence of Uchiha Yashiro and others, he can finally put these trivial matters aside.

And he can now use the 'Palm Immortal Technique' and 'Chakra Refining Technique' with peace of mind to strengthen his body while continuing to develop his physical potential.

The group stayed here for several hours until mid-afternoon, when they set out for the front-line command post.

The reason why they stayed for so long was, firstly, Uchiha Yada needed time to re-survey the battlefield, and secondly, the wounded under Qingming needed time to rest.

Before, Qing Ming took care of everyone in order to save chakra, but he only stabilized their injuries but did not completely heal them.

In this situation, after rushing for several hours, they were already exhausted.

Now that it's generally safe, there's no need to hold on.

So, everyone took a break for a while.

······
Half afternoon.

The crowd set out again.

There were no accidents this time and everyone went smoothly. Near dusk, they finally arrived at the front-line command post.

This headquarters is located in the easternmost part of the Land of Fire, close to the coast. Across the strait, it is the territory of the Land of Waves. The commander-in-chief is a senior ninja from the Nara clan named Nara Keiko.

He is of the same generation as the contemporary Nara clan's patriarch, Nara Shikaku, and is also a guy with an IQ far beyond that of an ordinary person.

After arriving at the destination, the first thing Qing Ming and others did was to meet with the other party and report what had happened to them.

After hearing his narration and combining it with some of the results of Uchiha Yashiro's investigation, Nara Keiko's face looked very ugly.

Obviously, the other party has roughly guessed that someone is playing tricks.

Otherwise, how could those Mist Ninjas easily break through the northern defense line?

I have to say something here. In the face of the invasion of the Hidden Mist Village, Konoha set up a total of three lines of defense and one forward base.

Among them, the northern defense line is close to the Kingdom of Hot Springs in the north, the southern defense line is close to the Kingdom of Whirlpools in the south, and the part in the middle is the central defense line.

These defense lines are all arranged along the coastline and are divided into several layers to block the invasion of the Hidden Mist Village.

These lines of defense had been breached before, but never three layers in a row.

But just yesterday, a group of Mist Ninjas took advantage of a loophole in the northern defense line, broke through three blockades, and rushed into the heart of the Fire Country.

Originally, Nara Keiko suspected that there was another hidden story.

Now, combined with the fact that the support troops were ambushed with great precision, how could he not know that this was all a conspiracy?

And the target?

Nara Qiangguang glanced at Qingming in front of him, and thought about the opponent's battle record mentioned in the mission report. It was basically like a louse on a monk's head - it was obvious.

As for the "traitor" who was so keen on targeting the Uchiha clan, had the ability to organize this action, and did not leave any evidence, Nara Keiko could not think of any other possibility except Danzo and the Root Organization under his command.

But the group is hidden.
Nara Qiguang shook his head.

After Qingming finished his narration, he spoke again: "I have noted down everything you said. Next, do you have anything else to add?"

Hearing this, Qing Ming hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not reveal the existence of Aburame Ryoma and the others.

Given Sarutobi Hiruzen's personality, Qingming estimated that even if he knew, he would not say anything to Danzo.
The other party also had the intention of weakening the Uchiha clan.

If that's the case, then why is he doing all these unnecessary things?
In this world where all power belongs to oneself, fists are always more effective than words. Instead of arguing with the opponent here, it is better to find an opportunity to kill Danzo directly.

Then there will be no more trouble.

Thinking of this, Qing Ming shook his head and said, "That's basically it. I have nothing else to add."

"Is this so"

Nara Qiguang groaned, tapped the table with his fingers, and said after a moment: "Then you should go down and rest first!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Qingming responded and left without looking back.

Looking at his leaving back, Nara Qiguang's eyes were deep.

He could feel that Qingming was hiding something.

But if the other party didn't say anything, there was nothing he could do.

However, he needs to report the breach of the northern defense line as soon as possible.

It’s not that this matter is so important, but he must let Sarutobi Hiruzen know who did it.

Otherwise, if the other party does this from time to time, will he still be able to do his job as the commander-in-chief?

"Now, I'm afraid only the third generation adults can restrain him."

Nara Qiguang smiled bitterly and began to prepare the report.
