Chapter 359 The Troubles Resurface
In a blink of an eye, another four days have passed.

It was late July.

This afternoon.

It’s still that forest.

Qing Ming sat cross-legged on a huge rock, constantly performing the "Palm Immortal Technique" to strengthen his body.

Unfortunately, the effect was minimal.

According to his estimation, after the "Physique" attribute is raised to 18 points, it will take at least one and a half months to improve and transform.

If there is any delay in the middle, this time will be extended, unless his "Palm Immortal Technique" can be further improved from lv8 to lv9.

Otherwise, you can only grind it slowly.

With this thought in mind, Qingming opened the proficiency panel, looked at the lv8 (15234/50000) 'Palm Immortal Technique' on it, and immediately gave up this naive idea.

It was impossible to upgrade his "Palm Immortal Technique" in just one and a half months.

"Hey, let's take it slow!"

With a light sigh, Qingming decided to continue his practice.

However, at this moment, a stream of chakra returned to his body.

At the same time, a spiritual practice experience and memory also emerged in his mind.

Qing Ming immediately closed his eyes, silently digesting these experiences and memories, and transforming them bit by bit into proficiency in the corresponding skills.

After a moment, Qingming opened his eyes and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Then, he raised his hands, formed hand seals in an instant, and performed the ninjutsu - Water Style: Mist Hidden Jutsu!
A large amount of chakra poured out of his body, and in the blink of an eye, the area within a hundred meters turned into a sea of ​​white.

Then, the white fog quickly disappeared, and the surrounding scenery reappeared, as if nothing had happened.

This scene of controlling the art with ease fully demonstrated Qingming's profound attainments in this art.

In fact, it is true.

As the training experience and memories just now were transformed into proficiency, his "Water Style: Mist Hidden Technique" was successfully promoted to level 5 (0/0), reaching perfection.

This made Qingming get rid of the depression in his heart and he was full of hope for the future again.

However, after the excitement, Qing Ming began to think about the distribution of chakra.

Now that the 'Water Style: Mist Hidden Technique' has been perfected, the 5,000 chakra points saved must be redistributed.

Qingming's eyes swept across several skills on the panel, and finally stopped at the 'Water Style: Great Shark Bullet Technique'.

As an A-level ninjutsu with infinite uses, he hopes that it can be put into actual combat more quickly and integrated into his tactical system.

Although it has now reached level 4 and there is no big problem in using it, that is only when facing opponents with weaker strength.

If you face an opponent of the same level, it will be difficult to achieve very good results unless you catch them by surprise.

Therefore, it is necessary to increase investment appropriately and accelerate its growth rate.

With the investment of 80 chakra points, the proficiency that can be gained every day will increase from the original 110 points to points.

In this way, you can advance faster.

"Well, let's do it!"

Having made the decision, Qing Ming stopped thinking about it, quickly calmed his mind, closed the panel, and then began his own practice.

······
Time passes minute by minute.

About an hour later.

Just as Qingming was immersed in his cultivation, a burst of hurried footsteps came from far away. Qingming's ears moved slightly, and then he opened his eyes.

After a few breaths, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

Qingming looked at the person who came and asked, "What happened, Tiehuo?"

That’s right, the person who came was none other than Uchiha Tetsuka.

Over the past period of time, he had almost handed over all his affairs to the other party.

According to the time calculation, the other party should have just finished the task and was resting. Why did he think of coming to him?

And, in such a hurry?
Hearing Qingming's question, Uchiha Tiehuo took a deep breath and said, "Qingming, the Hidden Mist Village has taken action."

Hearing this, Qing Ming's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately sat up straight and said, "Tell me in detail."

It’s not that he is so cautious, but this matter is too important.

Although there have been no extreme actions in the Hidden Mist Village in the past month, Qing Ming knows that it was just a moment of calm before the storm.

As the Third Ninja World War draws to a close, the struggle between various forces is bound to become increasingly intense.

Before this, the Hidden Mist Village had been slow to take any action, and it was obvious that it was preparing for this.

Now, the other party suddenly made a move, so he naturally had to treat it with caution.

"Just this afternoon, when Team 3 was out on patrol, they saw a Mist Ninja team wandering near the coast from a distance. After the two sides met, the other side quickly withdrew."

"After I came back and learned about this situation, I immediately asked other teams about their experiences. I found out that since noon, patrol teams have seen traces of the Mist Ninja."

"They were widely distributed throughout the entire defensive line, attacking from all directions, seemingly trying to find holes in our defense."

Hearing Qingming's question, Uchiha Tiehuo immediately recounted in detail the situation encountered by the three teams and the results of his investigation.

Finally, he said with a slightly sad look: "Qingming, the situation seems a little bad. I feel that the Mist Ninja is going to hold back a big wave."

"Ah."

Qingming nodded, agreeing with his idea.

He even speculated that the Hidden Mist Village had already negotiated a price with the Hidden Sand Village and signed a peace agreement.

Next, the other side is likely to mobilize all their manpower and launch a full-scale attack on them.

On the contrary, Konoha does not seem to be prepared to get too entangled with the other party, at least not for the time being. It does not intend to go to war with them all out.

Judging from recent rumors, Qingming estimated that Konoha was planning to fight with the Sand Village first to determine the winner.

Then, concentrate the forces to deal with the Iwagakure Village and the Kirigakure Village.

Judging from the memories of the previous life, even if Konoha’s victory in this battle was not the best, it was still a small victory, and the Sand Village eventually took the lead in signing a peace agreement with Konoha.

In order to ensure a smooth end to the war, he even took the initiative to step forward and destroy the other side's conspiracy when the radical faction of the Iwagakure Village attempted to disrupt the peace talks between the two sides.

Although this was based on the interests of the Sand Village, the fact that the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, took the initiative to come forward indirectly shows that Konoha has a dominant position in the peace agreement signed with the Sand Village.

Of course, this also laid the groundwork for the Sand Village to later participate in Orochimaru's plan to collapse Konoha.

All kinds of thoughts kept flashing through his mind, and Qingming suddenly shook his head, putting all the things that had not happened yet behind him.

Now, he just wanted to know when the Hidden Mist Village would launch an attack and how long his peaceful days would last.

Just as he was thinking this, another person came here. He was a messenger Chunin, asking him and Uchiha Tetsuka to go to the command center for a meeting immediately.

"Well, don't think about it this time. The peaceful days are over."

Qingming was speechless and had to rush to the headquarters with Uchiha Tiehuo.
