Chapter 378 Coming out in full force
The next day.

early morning.

Qingming summoned Uchiha Tiehuo and handed him the written letter.

"This is?"

Uchiha Tiehuo looked at the letter in his hand with a puzzled look.

"This is what I wrote to Elder Huoxuan. Please pass it to him for me."

Facing the other party's puzzled gaze, Qing Ming spoke.

"Elder Huoxuan? Yeah, okay!"

Hearing this, Uchiha Tiehuo responded.

Without asking what the content of the letter was, he bit his thumb directly, and then formed five seals of 'Hai - Xu - You - Shen - Wei' in sequence, using blood as a guide to perform the 'psychic art'.

bang~
The next moment, accompanied by a cloud of chakra smoke dissipating, a small ninja cat that looked very similar to the fat orange in the previous life appeared.

This is exactly Uchiha Tiehuo’s summoned beast!
Meow~
As soon as this ninja cat appeared, it called out, then opened its mouth and yawned loudly. It was obvious that it did not sleep well last night.

Uchiha Tiehuo ignored all this. He squatted down, looked at the orange cat, and said, "Xiaoju, please do me a favor."

Seeing Xiaoju looking over, Uchiha Tiehuo handed over the letter and said, "Here, this is it. Please help me give it to Elder Huoxuan."

As he said that, he stuffed the letter into the orange cat's mouth.

Seeing this, the orange cat rolled his eyes in a humane way, opened his mouth reluctantly, swallowed the letter, and disappeared.

Watching his disappearing figure, Uchiha Tiehuo stood up and said to Qingming, "Okay, Qingming, Xiaoju will be able to deliver the letter in one day at most."

"Ah."

Qingming nodded.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more minutes and then went about their own business.

No, to be more precise, it was Uchiha Tiehuo who went to do something. After Qingming had breakfast, he went to practice in the woods behind the stronghold.

These days, the Hidden Mist Village is rarely quiet, so he naturally has to seize the time to practice.

······
In a blink of an eye, another two days passed.

This evening.

Forest.

Qing Ming ended a day of practice, took back all his shadow clones, and carefully felt what he had gained in the past two days.

After successfully developing the flying ninjutsu, he used all of the 7,000 chakra points that he had previously used to develop the ninjutsu to improve his proficiency.

现在，两天过去了，其熟练度已然从lv1（70/200）提升到了lv2（35/500）！
After being promoted to level 2, his 'Wind Style: Wind Wings' underwent some changes.

Among them, the most obvious is the flight speed.

Compared with level 1, it has doubled from ten meters per second to twenty meters per second, which is equivalent to seventy-two kilometers per hour.

Without a doubt, this is not slow.

The most important thing is that the chakra required to maintain such a fast speed does not increase significantly.

If the chakra consumption of 36 kilometers per hour is unacceptable, then 72 kilometers per hour is still bearable.

After all, sometimes, time is life.

It can save half the time, and spending a little more chakra for it is nothing.

Apart from that, what he felt most clearly was that his body was on the verge of transformation again.

After nearly forty days of strengthening, he has accumulated enough foundation. In three or four days at most, he will reach the critical point.

At that time, as long as you open the Mangekyō Sharingan and stimulate the power of 'Human Control' to guide it, you can easily break the shackles and bring the 'Physique' attribute to a higher level.

In this way, he will have enough chakra to develop the Secret Technique of Heart-opening and the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique.

That's right, although he has decided to work hard in these two directions, because he has no extra chakra available, he has basically been doing theoretical research in the past two days and has not carried out any practice at all.

Only he could confirm that it wouldn't be long before his body would undergo a transformation, and the chakra recovery rate would increase, so he could just endure it.

Otherwise, the chakra would have been redistributed long ago.

However, this is also good. I can save some chakra by doing theoretical research first and then putting it into practice. All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qingming didn't think about it anymore. He stood up and left the woods and walked towards the clifftop stronghold.

After half an hour.

Qing Ming hurriedly finished his dinner and came to the meeting room.

At this time, several subordinates had arrived early.

Qing Ming didn't waste any time and asked them to report today's work one by one.

Although he left all the tasks to his subordinates, he still listened to their mission reports every day in order to grasp the real-time situation of the stronghold.

In this way, when the enemy arrives, he will be able to know what to do.

Soon, the report was completed.

After confirming that nothing special had happened, Qing Ming roughly arranged tomorrow's tasks and left in a hurry.

After returning to his residence, Qingming was not in a hurry to rest.

He still sat cross-legged as usual and began to perform the 'Palm Immortal Technique' and 'Heart Reflection Technique' to strengthen his body while promoting the evolution of the Sharingan.

Time passes by minute by minute.

In the blink of an eye, it was late at night.

Bright moonlight shone through the window, and Qingming opened his eyes.

At this moment, his eyes were full of fatigue.

Putting his hands down, Qing Ming muttered, "It's finally done."

After saying that, he didn't think any more, got up and walked to the bed, then his shoulders relaxed and he fell on the bed.

Just a few seconds later, a faint snoring sound came from his mouth.

Apparently, he had fallen asleep.

······
at the same time.

On the sea, some distance away from Eagle's Beak Cliff.

Under the moonlight, several ships were moving slowly. There was no light on them and they were very quiet, just like ghost ships.

This is certainly not a ghost ship, but a warship of the Hidden Mist Village.

Because the invading team suffered heavy losses, the Hidden Mist Village took action again after lying dormant for about a week.

Moreover, judging from their appearance, it is not just a small fight.

In fact, it is true.

Not only Eagle's Beak Cliff, but also several other places are the targets of the Hidden Mist Village tonight.

Tonight, the entire Kirigakure Village is out in full force.

At this time, there were not many Mist Ninjas left in the forward base located in the southeast of Wave Country, which was used as a bridgehead by the Hidden Mist Village.

This time, they all followed the main force and came to the front line.

The Hidden Mist Village intends to make a concerted effort to completely break through the defense line set up by Konoha on the eastern border of the Land of Fire and completely push the front line into the territory of the Land of Fire.

Of course, the Hidden Mist Village had no intention of acting recklessly.

The places they chose to attack were basically the weak points of the various defense lines.

After such a long period of fighting, the Hidden Mist Village has already explored these basic information.

In fact, even if we knew this information, it wouldn't be of much use.

As long as they don't figure out the distribution of troops in these strongholds and make targeted deployments, they won't dare to launch a full-scale attack.

However, not long ago, the Kirigakure Anbu obtained relevant information, which gave the Kirigakure Village the opportunity to launch an attack.

Especially after confirming that the intelligence was correct, the Hidden Mist Village directly launched a full-scale attack.

And tonight is the time for them to launch the attack.
