Chapter 318 Accident
brush~
Just as Mei Terumi was alert to her surroundings, a Mist Ninja who was about thirty years old suddenly appeared beside her.

He said in doubt: "That was just now."

The person who was speaking had long gray-blue hair, his right eye was wrapped in a black cloth, and there was a sealing talisman hanging on each earlobe.

It was Ao, the elite jonin of Kirigakure who had snatched a Byakuyan from the Hyuga clan on the battlefield a few months ago.

At this time, under the black cloth on the opponent's right eye is the Hyuga clan's Byakugan, which has the ability to see through, see far and have insight.

The sentry tower where Qing Mingying's clone was staying was discovered by him with his white eyes.

It can be said that the opponent is the fuse of this battle.

At this time, hearing his words, Terumi Mei said seriously: "Yes, it is just as you thought. The one who just fought with me was just a shadow clone of the Ghost Sword Qingming."

Having said this, she paused, glanced around, and then continued, "Qing, you've come just in time. Use your white eyes to see where the other person is hiding."

Hearing this, Qing also knew that the situation was urgent. Without any further ado, he immediately concentrated his mind, mobilized his chakra, and activated the Byakugan under the black cloth.

In an instant, everything around him came into his mind.

This feeling of seeing through everything made him feel deeply intoxicated.

However, he remembered the important thing and hurriedly searched for Qingming's whereabouts.

However, after two full minutes, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he still did not find any trace of Qingming.

When he told this result to Mei Terumi, Mei Terumi shook her head decisively and said, "Impossible, the other party was right under my nose the whole time. Even if he escaped for a short time and performed the 'Shadow Clone Technique', he couldn't have gone too far, unless..."

"Unless what?"

On the side, Qing spoke.

"Unless the opponent was just a shadow clone from the beginning."

Mei Terumi replied hesitantly.

"What? How is this possible?"

Hearing this answer, Qing didn't believe it at first, but soon realized that there seemed to be no other possibility except this answer.

He didn't believe that the other party's hiding method could avoid the detection of Baiyan.

As his most precious trophy, Ao's trust in the Byakugan is even greater than that of many Hyuga clan ninjas.

He didn't believe, nor was he willing to believe, that Qingming could avoid Baiyan's detection.

So, Qing Ming was a shadow clone from the very beginning? !

But the question remains, where is the other party's true identity? Is there some conspiracy?

Just as the two were deep in thought, there was some commotion in Konoha.

As the captain of everyone and known as the "Ghost Sword", Qing Ming is highly expected by everyone, and many people are secretly watching his every move.

Originally, when Qing Ming was unable to restrict Terumi Mei, many people were disappointed and felt that he did not live up to his reputation.

This distrust became even more obvious after he was suppressed by Mei Terumi.

Until he was killed by Mei Terumi, everyone's restlessness reached its limit.

However, when they found that the one who died was only a shadow clone of Qingming, they regained hope and their fallen morale recovered a little.

However, as Qingming's real body did not appear for a long time, they began to feel uneasy again.

Ninjas are also human beings. If they lose their backbone, they will also be afraid and panic.

So, gradually, there was a commotion among the Konoha team.

Mei Terumi noticed this keenly, so she ignored Qing Ming who had not appeared yet, and instead attacked these Konoha ninjas.

Her idea was simple, which was to take advantage of the unstable morale of the Konoha army and defeat this army completely in one fell swoop.

In this way, even if Qingming has any plans, she can deal with it calmly.

With her joining, Konoha was indeed a little overwhelmed. The two teams that Qingming brought from the forward base were both elite, and although their morale was a little low, they were not about to collapse at the first blow.

Of course, part of the credit also goes to Uchiha Tetsuka, a loyal fan of Qingming.

Then he shouted loudly: "Everyone hold on, the captain will come to support you soon!"

The others were confused when they heard this, but when they saw that he was from the Uchiha clan, they thought he knew some inside information and became more alert.

However, although the others were relieved, Uchiha Tetsuka's situation was not good.

Qing was originally searching for Qingming's whereabouts. When he suddenly heard his shout, he immediately rushed over, as if intending to capture him and find out Qingming's plan.

Obviously, he also thought Qingming had some plan.

Unfortunately, no one knew that what appeared in front of them from beginning to end was really just a shadow clone of Qingming.

However, Qingming's real body was indeed on the way.

······
A few minutes later.

Qingming arrived at the battlefield.

At this time, the sea area has become a mess, the two sides are fighting fiercely, and it is almost time to decide the outcome.

The situation can be said to be extremely urgent.

However, despite this, Qing Ming still did not rush to take action. His Sharingan opened instantly and he began to quietly observe the situation on the field.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, then dived into the water and swam towards Mei Terumi at an extremely fast speed.

As the saying goes, before you catch the thief, catch the king first!
After the observation just now, combined with the memory images sent back by the shadow clone before, he can basically conclude that Mei Terumi is the leader of these Mist Ninjas.

In this way, just like when Mei Terumi came directly to him just now, he was also prepared to capture the other party and thus undermine the morale of the Mist Ninja.

However, the development of things is always full of unexpected things.

Just as he was about to approach Mei Terumi, a figure suddenly fell from a distance, smashed through the sea surface, and passed straight past him.

The powerful insight of the Sharingan allowed him to identify the other party's identity at the first moment, which was Uchiha Tetsuka.

At this moment, the other party was spitting blood, and his body seemed to be hit by something, falling heavily to the bottom of the sea.

Qingming looked up and saw Qing's figure following closely and coming to above his head.

The Byakugan opened instantly, and Qing was preparing to search for Uchiha Tiehuo's trace.

However, the next moment, his expression changed drastically and he retreated rapidly.

bang~
Water splashed everywhere.

A figure suddenly jumped out of the water.

Rub~
The sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed was heard.

A flash of cold light suddenly appeared.

A long knife swept across Qing's chest.

The sharp wind chakra it carried directly tore his clothes, leaving a shallow blood mark on his chest.

Fortunately, the other party reacted quickly and retreated immediately, otherwise it would not be as simple as leaving a wound.

"It's you?"

Qing Lian took several steps back, covered his chest, looked at Qing Ming, and said in shock.

That’s right, the person who took action was none other than Qing Ming.

The moment the other party rolled his eyes, he realized that he could no longer hide, so he simply took direct action and launched a sneak attack on him.

Unfortunately, the other party had a white eye, so I was able to dodge it despite being on guard.
