Chapter 316 Mission
After observing for a while, Kanda Yinghe put down the monocular telescope in his hand.

After thinking about it, he bit his thumb and let the blood drip.

Then, he put his hands together, quickly formed the five seals of 'Hai - Xu - You - Shen - Wei', and performed the 'art of spiritual communication'.

bang~
A cloud of chakra smoke exploded.

A slender divine crane appeared on the scene.

Kanda Yinghe didn't waste any time. He immediately took out a pen and paper, wrote a secret letter, and stuffed it into the mailbox on the other person's leg.

Then, he patted it on the back and said, "Heshan, deliver this letter to the forward base immediately."

uh~
Upon hearing this, the divine crane named Heshan let out a long cry.

Then it nodded, flapped its wings, and its body rushed into the sky like a sharp arrow and disappeared into the horizon.

Looking at its leaving back, Kanda Yinghe breathed a sigh of relief.

After doing this, he said to Quartz and the group of Konoha ninjas who came later: "The support from the base will arrive soon."

"Next, everyone, pay close attention to the enemy's movements and make sure they are always under our surveillance."

"Yes, Captain!"

Upon hearing this, several Konoha ninjas immediately responded with yes.

Then, he started doing his own thing.

······
A few minutes later.

Go inside the base.

A shrill alarm suddenly sounded.

In the room, Qing Ming's shadow clone suddenly opened his eyes and thought to himself that something was not right.

Soon, a messenger Chunin found him and asked him to rush to the meeting room immediately.

The shadow clone did not dare to delay and rushed to the meeting room as soon as possible.

Not only him, all the jonin in the base rushed over quickly.

The ninja who chaired the meeting was an Uchiha Jonin. Without a word of nonsense, he conveyed the news of the impending attack of the Mist Ninja to everyone as quickly as possible.

Then, without consulting anyone, he started arranging tasks.

And when he opened his mouth, he mentioned Qingming's name.

"Qing Ming?"

"exist!"

Upon hearing this, the shadow clone immediately stood up.

Then the Uchiha Jonin said, "You will lead the first and second teams immediately and rush to the third sentry tower as quickly as possible. This is the mission requirement."

As he said that, he threw a scroll to him.

The shadow clone immediately took it, opened it, quickly scanned it, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he closed the scroll and responded, "Yes, Captain!"

"Ah."

The Uchiha Jonin nodded and said, "Okay, go down and get ready!"

"Yes."

Qing Ming finally responded and left the meeting room in a hurry.

In the conference room, the voice of the Uchiha Jonin continued.

One after another, senior ninjas were assigned tasks and then walked out, with expressions of either secret joy or seriousness on their faces.

However, these have little to do with Qingming.

Because he had already set out with the first and second teams.

The so-called No. 3 sentry tower is actually the reef sentry tower guarded by Kanda Ozuru, and it is also the sentry tower closest to the Mist Ninja warship.

The Uchiha Jonin arranged for him to go here, and brought the most elite first and second teams, which shows his recognition of his strength.

However, the shadow clone did not want this recognition at all.

After all, he is not the original body, how could he have such strength?

But in the meeting room, he couldn't say it clearly, so he had to bite the bullet and accept it. Fortunately, his mission was not to confront the assault force of the Hidden Mist Village.

The Uchiha Jonin gave him two mission requirements.

First, if the Mist Ninjas discovered sentry tower number three and launched an attack, their mission would be to delay the enemy and buy at least ten minutes of defense time for the base.

Secondly, if the Mist Ninja did not discover them, or discovered them but ignored them, then their task would be to wait for the Mist Ninja to fight with the base, and then launch a surprise attack from the rear, thereby attacking the other side together with the base.

According to the information passed back by Kanda Ozuru, the direction of the four warships of the Hidden Mist Village was clearly more inclined to attack the forward base directly.

In other words, the possibility of them having to delay is relatively small.

This provides a relatively large operating space.

As the saying goes, eat as much as your bowl can hold, and don't take on a job if you don't have the skills.

Although he did not have much affection for his ninja subordinates, he would not deliberately lead them to their deaths.

It is precisely because there is room for maneuver that he took on this task.

Otherwise, even if it would arouse some suspicion, he would not take on this task so readily.

Besides this, he had another reason for accepting this mission, that was that according to the time calculation, the original body should be back soon.

As long as the war does not end quickly, as long as it lasts a little longer, we should be able to wait for the main body to return.

By then, even if there are any problems, they can be solved.

······
In a flash, twenty minutes passed.

Qingming brought two teams, a total of thirty-five people, to the reef watchtower and met Kanda Yinghe.

As soon as the other party saw him, he also became excited.

After all, the name of the Qingming Ghost Sword has slowly spread over the past few days.

Although due to the Hidden Mist Village's defensive strategy these days, he has not been given the opportunity to demonstrate his strength.

However, the news that he was ambushed by the elite troops of the Hidden Mist Village on his way to provide support and that he killed several of their senior ninjas had already spread.

Especially since there were two members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen in it, which made everyone admire him even more.

Of course, the news could spread so quickly because the Uchiha clan was building up momentum for him.

As a wealthy family in Konoha, what the Uchiha clan needs is fame.

It just so happens that what Qingming did is in line with current needs, and the Uchiha clan naturally did not hesitate to invest corresponding resources.

Qingming probably knew something about these things, but he ignored them.

Reputation is sometimes a burden, but at the same time, if used well, it can also be a powerful weapon that can save him a lot of trouble.

As a result, when Kanda Yinghe saw him, he immediately regarded him as the backbone, and the handover of command was carried out without any delay.

As for being targeted by ninjas from other countries.
Given his current strength and record, wouldn't the enemy stop targeting him if he didn't publicize it?

joke!

Not only will they not relax their targeting, they will even intensify it.

After all, stifling the geniuses of other ninja villages is the consensus of the five major ninja villages.

War is not just about fighting on the frontal battlefield, but also about scheming in secret.

If they can make the enemy ninja village weak, even if they lose this war, they will have a chance to fight back in the next war.

So, to some extent, this kind of thing is as important as fighting on the frontal battlefield.

In this case, it is simply a dream to expect that the enemy will let you go if you keep a low profile.

What's more, he has become famous, so he can no longer keep a low profile.

That's why he didn't stop the Uchiha clan's propaganda.

In this situation, only by making yourself stronger can you withstand the repeated temptations and targeting from the outside world.

The only thing to be thankful for was that he had already quietly opened the Mangekyō Sharingan when he was still not well-known, and had the ability to flip tables.

It's just a little fame, he doesn't care at all.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qingming turned his gaze to Kanda Yinghe in front of him.
