Chapter 389 Meeting (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)

The next day.

early morning.

When the first ray of sunlight shone into the room through the gap in the window, Qingming opened his eyes.

With a thought in mind, he opened the proficiency panel, looked at the proficiency of 'The Art of Reflecting the Heart' and 'The Art of Palm Immortal', and nodded with satisfaction.

After a whole night of hard work, he finally made up for the progress he had missed in yesterday's 'Art of Reflecting the Heart'.

Not only that, he also used the "Palm Immortal Technique" to strengthen his body. Although he did not make up for all the progress, it finally brought him one step closer to transformation.

As for the chakra consumed.
If one only practices these two skills, the chakra recovered naturally by the body and through the 'Chakra Refining Technique' would be enough.

Therefore, until now, the chakra in his body is still close to its full value.

"not bad!"

With a murmur, Qingming closed the proficiency panel.

Then he looked toward the window and muttered, "It's almost time. I should leave, too."

The order given to him by Kurosawa Naruki was to arrive at the Black Stone stronghold before eight o'clock this morning.

And now, it was just after seven o'clock, and if he used 'Wind Style: Wind Wings', he could arrive in less than forty minutes.

Qingming never likes waiting for people.

Likewise, it won’t make people wait.

"So, let's not be so extreme and start now!"

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming packed up his equipment, made sure he had everything he needed, and left the room.

He didn't go to say hello to Uchiha Tetsuka.

Last night, after the 100-man team sent by Kurosawa Naruki for support arrived, the other side came again.

He had already said what he needed to say.

Therefore, there is no need to waste any more breath now.

Arriving at the open area, Qingming looked up at the sky, and without any hesitation, he immediately raised his hands to form seals and performed the ninjutsu - Wind Style: Wind Wings!

The next moment, a pair of light blue chakra wings appeared behind him. Qingming thought about it and controlled them to flap.

Then, the man flew into the sky.

About a hundred meters from the ground.

Qing Ming identified the direction and flew straight over.

Someone in the stronghold saw Qing Ming's figure and quickly warned his companions: "Look, there is someone in the sky!"

However, the Konoha ninja who was traveling with him heard this, looked up and said with a smile: "Black Fang, don't be nervous, that's our captain."

"You may not know since you just arrived, but our captain already has a flying ninjutsu."

"Captain? Ghost Sword Qingming?"

Inuzuka Kuroga said in surprise.

"Yes, I told you, the night before last."

Next, the Konoha ninja recounted in vivid detail what Qingming had done that night.

How did the name come about?

That’s how it got its name!
In the sky, Qingming vaguely saw two people, but after glancing at them, he ignored them.

He flapped his wings and instantly reached the maximum speed, flying towards the Black Stone Stronghold at a speed of thirty meters per second.

······
More than half an hour later.

Qingming arrived at the Black Stone Stronghold safely.

The patrolling Konoha ninja was visibly stunned when he saw him falling from the sky.

Obviously, in just one day, the news that he had mastered the flying ninjutsu was not enough to spread, and now it was estimated that only Kurosawa Naruki and other Konoha high-ranking officials knew about it.

Of course, if possible, he would rather hide this ability.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

From the very beginning, his ability was exposed, and the subsequent raid on the Hidden Mist Village forced him to use this technique.

Therefore, there is no need to hide.

It just so happens that he might be able to use this technique to get a good job!
There is no doubt that the scale and intensity of the Konoha organization's counterattack this time will be huge, and on such a battlefield, even if he is quite powerful, he must be careful.

If we can take on some less dangerous tasks, we can minimize the probability of accidents.

However, this requires contacting the higher-ups in the clan.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to achieve. In addition, the matters entrusted to the clan should have a result.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming completed the registration and went to find Uchiha Eighth Generations.

That’s right, the other party also came here to support.

Moreover, it is not in an ordinary capacity.

For important battles like this one, each family in Konoha Village would appoint a clan member to be in charge of coordination.

This is done, on the one hand, to safeguard the interests of the family and prevent clan members from dying in vain; on the other hand, it is done to better manage the family's ninjas and to cooperate with the village's actions.

The Uchiha clan is naturally no exception.

This time, the person in charge of the Uchiha clan is Uchiha Yashiro, which was clearly stated in the news that came yesterday.

Therefore, Qingming didn't have to ask around and easily found the other party.

······
dong dong dong~
Outside a door.

Qingming tapped his fingers lightly.

"Come in!"

The voice of Uchiha Yashiro came from inside the house.

Although he had not met the other party many times, Qingming could still recognize the other party's voice.

Then he opened the door and walked in.

However, as soon as he walked in, he saw an unexpected figure.

"Shisui?"

That’s right, this person is none other than Uchiha Shisui.

Seeing him come in, Uchiha Shisui also said: "Qingming, you are here."

"Ah."

Hearing this, Qing Ming nodded and then asked, "You have also been recruited?"

"Ah."

Uchiha Shisui also nodded in agreement.

Because the Uchiha Eighth Hokage was in front, the two did not exchange too many pleasantries.

Qing Ming looked at the figure behind the table and said, "Uncle!"

"Ah."

Uchiha Yashiro nodded, looked him up and down, then said with a smile: "Qingming, not bad, you are very good!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Uchiha Shisui and said, "It just so happens that both of you are here, so I will tell you all the things you should pay attention to at once to save you trouble.

Hearing this, Qing Ming and Uchiha Shisui spoke at the same time: "Please speak."

"Well, that's it."

After that, Uchiha Yashiro didn't waste any time and directly started to talk about some things that needed attention during the mission.

It didn't take a long time, just a few minutes to go through these general precautions.

Only then did his expression become serious.

He looked at Qing Ming and Uchiha Shisui, and finally said: "I'm sure you are aware of the danger of this mission."

"Ah."

Qing Ming and Uchiha Shisui nodded at the same time.

The Hidden Mist Village went through so much effort to capture four strongholds, so it is naturally impossible for them to give them back easily, so they will definitely fight to the death.

Therefore, the danger of this mission is self-evident.

Qing Ming could figure it out, and Uchiha Shisui could naturally figure it out as well, so they both nodded seriously.

Seeing them like this, Uchiha Yada was very pleased.

After a short silence, he finally spoke: "You two are the future of the family and the foundation for the family to move forward. You must not lose here."

"So, for this counterattack, I will try my best to arrange some relatively safe tasks for you. You must protect your lives."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui frowned slightly, as if he had some opinions about Uchiha Yashiro's words, but he was a smart man after all and did not object to him directly.

And Qingming would naturally be even less likely to object.

Or rather, this was exactly what he wanted.
