Chapter 361 Going on a mission

The next day.

early morning.

When the first ray of sunlight shone through the window and onto his face, Qingming opened his eyes.

A trace of confusion flashed across his eyes, but Qingming quickly regained consciousness.

He got up, washed, went to the cafeteria of the base, ate something, and after filling his stomach, he went to find Uchiha Tetsuka.

Uchiha Tiehuo, who was assigning tasks, saw him coming and asked in surprise: "Captain, why are you here?"

In front of others, he was still quite careful and did not call Qingming by his name directly, but called him captain.

As for the reason for his surprise
It was very simple. Qingming had stopped caring about these things a long time ago. He was really surprised that he suddenly came here.

Hearing the other party's question, Qing Ming waved his hand and said, "You do your thing, I'll just take a look."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tiehuo said nothing more and immediately began to assign tasks to his ninjas.

After all these people received their tasks and left, Uchiha Tiehuo came up to him and said, "Qingming, is there anything you need me to do?"

Obviously, he knew that Qingming couldn't just come here for a visit.

In the past, Qing Ming would have wanted to split a minute into two halves, so how could he have the leisure time to come and take a look?
In fact, it is true.

The reason why Qingming came here today was that he wanted to go on a mission with the other party. The unusual movements in the Hidden Mist Village still made him concerned.

He really didn't feel at ease unless he checked it out himself.

So, he planned to follow the other party out to sea to see if he could encounter the Mist Ninja.

Once he meets the opponent, with his strength, he can easily defeat him.

At that time, once the lv7 (0/0) perfect state of 'Illusion Sharingan' is opened, it will take a little effort to read the other party's memory.

These people may not know any secret information, but some of the obvious information is enough for him to get a glimpse of the situation and understand the plans of the Hidden Mist Village.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming said directly: "I will go on a mission with you today."

"what?"

Uchiha Tiehuo couldn't believe his ears.

After Qingming told the other party about his plan, Uchiha Tiehuo realized that Qingming was not joking, so he agreed decisively.

Are you kidding? With Qingming as a member of the team, his safety will be greatly improved. If he disagrees with this kind of thing, he would be a fool.

What's more, Qingming is the real commander of the stronghold, and no one can control where he goes.

Soon, the two of them set off on a small sailboat with a dozen Konoha ninjas.

Small sailboats like this can only sail in coastal waters and cannot go deep into the sea. Once they go deep into the sea, they will sink if they encounter strong winds and waves.

However, their mission does not require them to go deep into the sea. They only need to patrol the surrounding waters to ensure that the Mist Ninjas do not approach.

So, there is no need to worry about wind and waves.

To put it another way, with such a close distance, even if the boat capsized, they could return on their own.

As for not being able to tread water?
Please, the war has been going on for more than two years. All the Genin of this level have died long ago. The Genin who are still alive now have some abilities.

The village will not allow the new Genin graduates from the Ninja Academy to go to the front lines.

Therefore, the boat under our feet is at most just to save some chakra for everyone, and no one really cares.

······
Time passes minute by minute.

Qing Ming stood at the bow, looking at the monotonous scenery on the sea around him, and finally shook his head and looked away.

"team leader?"

On the side, Uchiha Tiehuo saw this and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. Qingming waved his hand and said, "I'll leave this to you. Call me if you find anything. I'm going to practice first."

After saying that, he came to the stern, crossed his hands, formed the '壬' character seal, and performed the 'Shadow Clone Technique'. With a "bang", a cloud of chakra smoke dispersed, and nine figures appeared on the scene.

Qing Ming gave an order to one of the shadow clones, asking it to stay here, and then he left with the other eight shadow clones.

After his strength improved, he became less cautious in doing things.

In the past, if there were so many people present, he would at most use the "Palm Immortal Technique" to strengthen his body, and would never create a shadow clone to practice.

And now, he simply left a shadow clone as a contact signal, and his real body left.

Even so, no one dared to say anything.

This is the convenience brought by strength.

However, using the shadow clone as a communication tool is still a bit inconvenient, because the only way to notify him is to cancel the 'Shadow Clone Technique' and transfer the memory back.

This way, the distance is closer and he can get there quickly.

But if the distance is too far, by the time he arrives, the day lily may have been cold.

Therefore, this drawback needs to be solved. There is actually a solution, which is to leave two shadow clones, or just leave the real body here.

Not to mention the latter, he can still show his 'Palm Immortal Technique' to others. After all, using medical ninjutsu to strengthen and transform the body is not something shameful.

But the 'Art of Reflecting the Heart' is not the same. Even if this art can be performed in front of others, Qingming will not perform it in front of others.

They may not know about this useless illusion that has been shelved by the Uchiha clan, and even if they know it, they cannot recognize it.

But it is better to be safe than sorry. If he is really recognized, combined with his outstanding performance, he might get into trouble.

Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, it is better not to show it in front of others, especially when there are Uchiha ninjas present.

As for leaving two shadow clones, one to convey messages and the other to provide military support, this can solve the problem.

But the key point is that doing so is a waste of chakra.

Indeed, Qingming now has a lot of chakra available every day, but he also has many skills to practice, and he cannot afford such a waste. He certainly cannot make this choice.

This time it's fine. The patrol range of their team is not that big. After receiving the memory message from the shadow clone, he will be able to arrive soon.

But what about next time?

If he was farther away, he would have to follow the team and waste time.

In this way, how can his skills improve quickly?
At this point, an idea Qing Ming had had a long time ago came to mind, and he thought to himself: "Perhaps, I should try to learn the 'heart communication technique' of the mountain tribe."

He had this idea a long time ago, when the ninja of the Yamanaka clan used this technique to communicate with him.

However, there was no urgent need at the time, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

Now that there is a demand, we can do some research on it.

The "art of telepathy" is the secret art of the mountain clan. With the amplification of the barrier, it can even communicate with a certain person across dozens or hundreds of kilometers. The effect is very powerful.

He didn't ask to do this immediately, as long as he could communicate with his shadow clone across a few kilometers.

With his current mental strength, combined with his previous experience of being connected by the mountain clan using this technique many times, it would not be a difficult task for him to develop it with some effort.

Of course, the implementation process may be different from the Yamanaka clan's "telepathy technique", but as long as the effect is achieved, it's fine.

However, having made the decision in his mind does not mean that he will try it immediately.

Now, his main task is to concentrate on upgrading 'Wind Style: Wind Blade' to the maximum level, and then upgrade 'Wind Style: Rasenshuriken'.

By then, with extra time and energy, he would be able to study this secret technique of telepathy in addition to studying flying ninjutsu.
