Chapter 305 News
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

During this week, Qing Ming gradually became familiar with the entire forward base, and then began to lead the team to carry out missions in the nearby waters.

Originally, he thought he would run into the Mist Ninja again soon.

After all, the situation here is not very good, otherwise there would be no need to transfer personnel from the battlefield of the Rain Country to provide support.

But what Qingming didn't expect was that after several days, he hadn't even seen the shadow of a Mist Ninja, as if all the Mist Ninjas had retreated into retreat.

However, if you think about it carefully, this is indeed possible.

This time, due to Danzo's tip-off, their support team was ambushed and suffered heavy losses, but the Mist Ninja also suffered heavy losses.

Having killed so many elite ninjas, even the Hidden Mist Village would feel heartbroken for a while.

Especially the deaths of two of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Kuroho Raiga and Biwa Juzo, left a gap in their high-end combat power.

In this case, it is understandable that they will retreat temporarily.

Qingming was also happy to see such a situation.

······
"Close the team!"

The country of waves.

Southeast waters.

On a small boat, Qing Ming looked at the sunset in the sky and spoke directly.

Hearing this, several Konoha ninjas responded yes and began to control the boat, heading towards the forward base.

Near the coast, Qing Ming jumped off the boat. Chakra suddenly gathered at the soles of his feet, and he finally stood steadily on the sea.

Qing Ming looked back at a young Uchiha ninja in the team, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a black mole between his eyebrows, and said, "Tie Huo, I'll leave the task to you."

"Leave it to me again?"

Uchiha Tiehuo's tone sounded a little helpless.

Hearing this, Qing Ming laughed and said, "Thank you for your help!"

After saying this, he turned and headed towards a vague reef in the distance.

Seeing this, Uchiha Tiehuo hurriedly shouted from behind: "Then don't forget the challenge in three days!"

Qingming kept walking, turned his back to him, raised his right hand and waved it to show that he heard it.

"The captain is going to practice again. He is really hardworking!"

On the boat, a Konoha ninja looked at Qingming's back and murmured.

"Yes!"

Another Konoha ninja heard his words and echoed: "The patrol mission is hard enough. The captain has to practice after completing the mission every day. I don't know how he manages to hold on?"

"not only that."

At this time, the third Konoha ninja interrupted and said, "Didn't you notice that the captain was also practicing some kind of ninjutsu while performing the mission?"

"Nonsense! Of course we saw it."

A Konoha ninja who had spoken earlier retorted rudely.

Then, he sighed and said, "Ah! That's why I say the captain is a pervert. I can't persist in such high-intensity training anyway."

"Haha~ Of course you can't!"

Uchiha Tiehuo heard their conversation and said with a slightly proud tone: "He is one of the two great geniuses of our Uchiha clan. How can ordinary people compare with him?"

Speaking of Uchiha Tiehuo, he was initially dissatisfied with Qingming, the parachuted captain, but after being beaten up by Qingming, he immediately became obedient.

After that, after several encounters, he gradually became his die-hard fan.

Qing Ming didn't care much about this. He just took this opportunity to hand over all the trivial matters in the team to the other party.

Of course, he also has to pay some price for this, which is the challenge the other party just mentioned.

However, although it was called a challenge, it actually just meant that he was asked to guide the other party in his practice.

The frequency was not too high, about once every three or four days, and it didn't take much effort, so Qing Ming agreed. ······
On the offshore reef.

After Qingming arrived here, he sensed the surroundings and found nothing unusual.

Then, he crossed his hands, formed the "壬" character seal, and performed the "Shadow Clone Technique".

bang bang bang~
Accompanied by a burst of chakra smoke, six shadow clones appeared on the field.

Without Qingming's instructions, they each ran in a different direction and began to practice several skills according to the plan.

However, at present, his 'swordsmanship' has been perfected and no further practice is needed.

Therefore, Qingming asked the shadow clone that was originally practicing "swordsmanship" to start practicing "illusion swordsmanship".

Unlike 'Instant Sword Technique', practicing 'Phantom Sword Technique' does not require special preparation of weapons that can conduct chakra.

The main test is the coordination between 'Sharingan·Illusion' and 'Swordsmanship', and this is also what is practiced.

However, because of this, practicing 'Illusion Sword Technique' consumes more chakra than simply practicing 'Sword Technique'.

For this reason, Qing Ming had no choice but to set aside a portion of his daily chakra to practice this skill.

Fortunately, the chakra consumed was not too much. With his current chakra of more than 60,000 points, it was enough to support him for a long time.

In other words, this problem can be solved well by simply taking a half-day break every once in a while and replenishing yourself with the chakra recovered during this period.

Normally, the chakra he consumed while practicing skills was replenished in this way.

Although this will slow down his progress to a certain extent, it is generally acceptable.

Besides, this will also give him some time to rest.

Combining work and rest is the best way!
Qingming naturally wouldn't stay tense all the time.

······
In a blink of an eye, it was night.

The shadow clone's mission has been completed. After Qing Ming digested all the cultivation experience and memories, he returned to the forward base.

Walking into the courtyard under the moonlight, Qingming suddenly stopped, his Sharingan opened instantly, and he looked towards the corner of the courtyard.

"Meow~"

Suddenly, a cat's meow was heard.

Qingming's heart moved and he walked over. Suddenly he saw a big cat with pure black fur licking its paws there.

Seeing Qingming coming, the big cat did not leave in fright. Instead, it raised its head and looked at Qingming.

Its eyes do not have the ignorance of an ordinary cat, but instead have the wisdom of a human.

Its gaze lingered on Qingming's Sharingan for a moment before it spoke: "Uchiha Qingming?"

That’s right, the other party spoke.

Obviously, this is not an ordinary cat, but a ninja cat.

Hearing the other party's question, Qing Ming nodded and said, "It's me!"

After receiving a positive answer, Black Cat breathed a sigh of relief and said with a slightly complaining tone: "Where have you been? Why did you come back just now? You made me wait for a long time."

"Is there a problem?"

Qing Ming ignored the other party's complaints and went straight to the point.

Hearing this, Black Cat spit out a piece of paper and said, "I have found the person you are looking for. My mother-in-law asked me to give this to you."

"Grandma Cat."

Qingming murmured, and instantly thought of the request he had made to Elder Huoxuan before setting off.

It now seems that the leader of the Land of Craftsmen has been found, and the Kusanagi sword that he has been longing for should also be obtainable.

With this thought in mind, Qingming picked up the note and saw an address on it.
