Chapter 354 Turning point
In the forest.

Qingming practiced for about two more hours. After it became completely dark, he packed up his things, returned to the camp, and returned to his residence.

However, as soon as he came back, before he could even sit down, someone came to his door.

Qing Ming looked at the Konoha Chunin in front of him and frowned, "Do you know what Captain Kurosawa wants to talk to me about?"

That’s right, this person was the one sent by Kurosawa Naruki to find him.

Hearing this, the Konoha Chunin shook his head and said, "I don't know, anyway, Captain Kurosawa asked you to go there immediately."

"All right!"

Qingming sighed helplessly, picked up the Kusanagi sword beside him, and walked out of the tent.

A few minutes later, he arrived at the command post of the northern defense line.

Qing Ming keenly discovered that there were more people here than in the same period of time in the past, and many of them were in a hurry.

“It seems like something really big happened.”

Suddenly, this thought came to Qingming's mind, but he immediately suppressed it.

dong dong dong~
Qingming found Kurosawa Chengshu's office and knocked on the door.

"Enter!"

The next moment, a familiar voice came from behind the door.

Qing Ming was not polite and pushed the door open directly.

crunch~
The door was pushed open.

Qingming saw Kurosawa Chengshu with a sad look on his face.

"What happened, Captain?"

Walking into the office, Qing Ming asked directly.

"Hey!"

Hearing this, Kurosawa Chengshu sighed first, and then said: "Captain Nara Qiguang just sent a message that Shuanghe Town has been breached."

"what?"

Qing Ming was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly, "Is it Shuanghe Town in the Rain Country battlefield?"

"Ah."

Kurosawa Chengshu nodded and said, "You came from there, so you should be very clear about the importance of Shuanghe Town."

"of course."

Qingming nodded with a grim expression.

Of course he knew the importance of Shuanghe Town. After retreating from Fengliu Town, he stayed there for quite a while.

He participated directly or indirectly in several battles for the Nishiyama stronghold and two decapitation operations against the Iwagakure attacking forces.

There were also the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Zi, and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Han, with whom he had fought there.

The importance of bringing together so much power is self-evident.

Once this town is lost, Konoha will no longer have any important strongholds to defend. As long as the Iwagakure Village can straighten the front line, it will be able to directly threaten Konoha's base in the Land of Rain.

By then, Konoha's defensive forces will be compressed to a very small range, the activity area will be greatly restricted, and the choices will become scarce.

On the contrary, the choices in Iwagakure Village will be richer.

Combining his memories from his previous life, Qingming immediately guessed the next plan of the Hidden Rock Village.

That is to send an elite force to bypass Konoha's base in the Land of Rain and directly attack the Land of Fire.

In my memory of my previous life, the person who performed this task was Dong Dead Man.

The result of this battle was that Konoha's border defense forces stationed in that direction were almost completely wiped out. In the end, it was Minato Namikaze who arrived in time and turned the tide.

Despite this, Iwagakure Village still opened a gap here. Later, in order to force Iwagakure Village to return to defense and to buy time for the front-line troops, the Minato Squad carried out the task of destroying the Kannabi Bridge, which is the famous Battle of Kannabi Bridge.

In this battle, two Sharingan heroes were born in Konoha, but it also laid the groundwork for future tragedies.

At the same time, the Sand Village saw an opportunity and sought a decisive battle with Konoha. For this purpose, they even used the village's hero, Shoton-style Yegura, as a bargaining chip in exchange for the reconciliation of the Mist Village.

This also gave the Hidden Mist Village the strength to launch a full-scale attack on Konoha, thereby breaking through the border defense line and entering the territory of the Land of Fire.

In the memory of the previous life, it was in this context that Might Dai opened the Eight Gates and kicked the Seven Ninja Swordsmen into the Three Auspicious Treasures.

However, now that he has killed two of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, this incident is unlikely to happen again.

But it is undeniable that the series of problems caused by the destruction of Shuanghe Town are enough to illustrate its importance, and it can even be said to be the turning point of this Ninja World War.

Just as Qingming was lost in thought, Kurosawa Chengshu said, "Qingming, have you thought of anything?"

"Ok?"

Hearing what Kurosawa Chengshu said, Qingming's thoughts were instantly pulled back. He was stunned at first, then shook his head and said, "Nothing."

Naturally, he couldn't tell the other party these things.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but the situation doesn't allow it.

Not to mention how to explain the source of his information after telling the other party, he didn't want to get involved in the trouble alone.

Take the Battle of Kannabi Bridge for example. On the surface, it was because Kakashi and others were not strong enough and Minato Namikaze was unable to rescue them in time that led to the tragedy.

But with the memories of his previous life, he knew very well that Uchiha Obito had been targeted by Uchiha Madara for a long time, so all this was most likely the result of the other party's deliberate calculation.

If we consider that he later used the power of the Kirigakure Anbu to design the death of Nohara Rin at the hands of Kakashi in order to force Uchiha Obito to open his Mangekyō Sharingan, the situation becomes even more obvious.

In addition, behind Uchiha Madara, there is the filial son Black Zetsu. Qingming really doesn't want to touch these layers of nesting dolls now.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. Qingming looked at Kurosawa Chengshu and asked, "When did this happen?"

"Just a few hours ago."

Kurosawa Naruki replied.

"So what are Captain Nara's plans?"

Qing Ming asked again.

"Well, there really is!"

Upon hearing this, Kurosawa Chengshu nodded.

As he spoke, he took out a mission scroll from the desk drawer, handed it to Qingming, and then said: "Just now, the latest order for you has come down. Captain Nara ordered you to lead your troops to temporarily stay on our defense line and beware of a surprise attack from the Hidden Mist Village."

That's right, it was not until today that the task transfer order for their troops came down.

Before, Qingming was still wondering why it took so long, but now he finally understood.

Obviously, Nara Qiguang was aware of the situation on the battlefield in the Rain Country and the situation in Shuanghe Town.

The capture of Shuanghe Town was definitely not a sudden event, there must have been signs of it.

Therefore, he has been waiting for the result.

If that place can be defended, then waiting for Qingming's order, it is very likely to counterattack the Kingdom of Waves and retake the forward base.

And now.
Shuanghe Town was breached by the Iwagakure Village, so they could only stay still and not move, so their mission changed from offense to defense.

That is why the mission order was issued today.

As for the content, Qingming was happy to see it happen.

He just needed some time to strengthen his body and make a breakthrough in his 'physique' attribute, so this garrison mission was just right for him.

Thinking this in his mind, Qing Ming took the task scroll, checked it carefully, and after confirming that there was no problem, he put it away.

After that, the two talked for a while and put into practice the previous impromptu decision, and then Qingming said goodbye and left.
