Chapter 308 Tail
In the ninja world, there is no distinction between swords and knives.

Therefore, the Kusanagi sword in Qingming's hand is called a sword, but it is actually a long knife.

Its appearance is similar to that of a Tang straight knife. The blade is about three feet long, two fingers wide, and has a single-sided blade. The tip of the blade has a very small curvature and can be used for chopping or stabbing.

Qing Ming waved it a few times and felt a little uncomfortable.

Yes, he had always used a short sword before, and now he suddenly changed to a long sword, so naturally he would feel a little uncomfortable with it.

However, this is not a big problem.

With his current lv7 (0/0) perfect level of 'Swordsmanship', he can become proficient in using this sword in just one battle.

And this battle?
Qingming looked through the crack in the door and out along the courtyard wall, and vaguely saw several figures on a tower-like building in the distance.

After observing for a moment, Qing Ming withdrew his gaze.

Qiang~
The long sword was sheathed again.

Qingming hung it around his waist.

Then, his eyes turned to the corpse of the leader of the Artisan Ninja Village on the ground.

Originally, he was still hesitating whether to kill the other party, but when he attacked him, Qing Ming no longer hesitated.

Anyway, since he came to this world, his hands have been stained with blood, so it doesn't matter if there is one more person at this time.

What's more, who can become a ninja without a few lives on his hands?

Therefore, Qingming did not feel much psychological burden in killing the other party.

Of course, by the same token, if one day he was killed in this way, he could only blame himself for his lack of strength and not anyone else.

This is a world where the strong prey on the weak!

This is true whether it is between ninjas, between ninjas and ordinary people, or between countries.

If you want to survive, you have to become stronger.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, Qing Ming gathered his thoughts, quickly formed seals with his hands, and performed the "Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique".

bang~
A fireball appeared and hit the body of the leader of the Artisan Ninja Village.

Soon, the opponent's body began to burn and eventually turned into a charred corpse.

Qing Ming came to the courtyard, found a place at random, stretched out his left hand, and the "Rasengan" instantly condensed into shape in his palm.

A light blue chakra ball as big as a basketball appeared and was pressed directly to the ground by Qingming.

Boom~
A dull sound appeared.

Suddenly a big hole appeared on the ground.

Qingming moved the body of the leader of the Artisan Ninja Village and buried it in the ground.

In this way, no one will discover it in a short period of time.

After doing all this, Qing Ming walked out of the yard, pretended to look around, and then left the town directly.

······
In a flash, more than half an hour passed.

Outside town.

In a forest.

Qingming was walking fast and suddenly stopped.

Then he turned and looked towards the dark jungle.

squeak~
Several insect chirping sounds were heard.

Everything seemed so normal.

But Qingming just watched quietly, without moving.

One second, two seconds
One minute, two minutes
Soon, five minutes passed.

Huhuhu~
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, rustling the leaves on the surrounding trees.

After the wind stopped, Qing Ming suddenly said, "Aren't you coming out yet?"

However, no one answered and the jungle remained silent.

However, unlike before, the chirping sounds of insects had disappeared at some point.

“You’re not coming out?” Qing Ming murmured, and then his expression changed, and he said in a low voice: “Then go to hell!”

As he spoke, he raised his hands, formed hand seals in an instant, and performed the ninjutsu - Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!

Then, a huge fireball came out of his mouth, and then he controlled it to hit a big tree behind him.

With a swish, a black shadow jumped out from the tree.

Boom~
The fireball hit the big tree and instantly ignited the entire tree. The dazzling firelight flashed and instantly dispelled the surrounding darkness.

Seeing this, the black shadow hurriedly threw several kunai, attacking Qingming's vital points.

Not only him, there were also kunai flying towards him from several other directions.

"Sharingan~"

Qingming thought for a moment and instantly opened his Sharingan.

Suddenly, the flight paths of these kunai came into his eyes.

Not only that, he also locked down the positions of those who threw the kunai.

Qingming's brain was working rapidly, his nerve reaction speed increased to the limit, and in a flash he avoided all kunai attacks.

At the same time, he formed seals with his hands again and performed another fire-style ninjutsu - Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Jutsu!

With every breath, he spat out dense balls of fire, which looked like Impatiens seeds, floating and smashing towards the enemies.

"careful!"

"hateful!"

"Get away quickly"

In an instant, the whole jungle became lively, with screams coming one after another, and the ninjas hiding in the dark began to dodge in a panic.

After a few breaths, the fireball disappeared and these hidden enemies revealed themselves.

Qingming was surrounded, but he didn't show any panic at all.

Not only that, his eyes also scanned these people one by one with great interest.

It can be seen that they are not ninjas from a certain village. Even if they were in the past, they are not now.

As for the reason
It's very simple. There is a very obvious scratch on the forehead guards worn by these people, which is the sign of treason in the ninja world.

The only force that could harbor so many rebellious ninjas, apart from the later Akatsuki organization, was the black market.

In the ninja world, the black market is a special existence. It not only has bases in various countries, but also has its own task system.

However, unlike the relatively positive missions in the major ninja villages, the missions in the black market are varied and mostly shady.

But if it can exist, then there is a reason for its existence.

For things that the major ninja villages cannot do openly, rewards will be posted here.

It is precisely with the tacit approval of these major ninja villages that the black market can exist.

Otherwise, just like in the memory of the previous life, before the outbreak of the Fourth Ninja World War, in order to avoid unexpected factors, the major ninja villages took the initiative to clean up the black market in the country, and it was not easy to do so.

All I can say is that in the ninja world, the five major ninja villages are the chess players.

As for other forces, they are nothing but chickens and dogs.

The black market is no exception!

I've gone off topic. Anyway, it's precisely because of the special nature of the black market missions that this is where the largest number of traitors and wanted criminals in the ninja world gather.

They are especially active during wartime.

"I just don't know why they would monitor the leader of the Artisan Ninja Village. According to their temperament, wouldn't they capture him and exchange him for money?"

Qingming was confused, so he just asked directly.

He already had a rough idea of ​​the strength of these people.

Except for one special jonin, the rest were just average chunins, so he didn't need to waste too many brain cells.

Therefore, Qingming had no intention of testing him at all. If he had any doubts, he would just ask directly.
