Chapter 39 Night Attack (Part )

Shake.

It was late at night.

Boom~
Suddenly, an explosion was heard from a distance, waking Qingming from his sleep.

In just a moment, his eyes changed from confusion to sharp.

Without much hesitation, Qing Ming grabbed the ninja tool bag and forehead protector beside him, turned over and sat up. When he got out of the tent, he was already fully armed.

There were several other people who walked out with him, including their team leader, Furukawa.

He took three or two steps to Furukawa's side, followed his gaze and looked into the distance, where he could vaguely hear some fighting sounds.

Obviously, something went wrong.

The patrol and defense mission in this area is carried out by two teams, one team is responsible for the day and the other is responsible for the night.

The first squad, to which their Class 17 belonged, patrolled during the day, while the second squad, which took over from them, patrolled at night.

There is no doubt that it is the Second Squad that is fighting the unknown enemy.

The second team is composed of four squads, two of which have the same configuration as their class, consisting of one jonin and three genin.

The remaining two teams are composed of one special jonin and three chuunins.

In this way, if we count the squad leader at the jonin level, the second squad has a total of seventeen people, including three jonin, two special jonin, six chunins and six genins.

This is almost no different from their first team.

Now, Qingming only hoped that the enemy accidentally revealed their whereabouts and was caught by a team from the second squad, so that a battle would be forced.

Otherwise, there will be big trouble.

Because that means the enemy's overall combat power will not be lower than theirs, and the mission will no longer be lurking and infiltration as before, but a raid.

In this case, both sides are bound to fight to the death.

While Qingming was lost in thought, the first team had assembled.

At the same time, sounds of fighting were heard from two other directions in the forest.

Well, no need to guess.

This is absolutely not lurking and infiltration.

Anyone who wants to lurk or infiltrate will organize multiple forces at the same time, so it will be difficult to evacuate if they are discovered.

Seeing that they didn't care about their whereabouts being disclosed, they were obviously preparing for a surprise attack.

just
Qing Ming couldn't understand what the significance of the enemy's surprise attack was.

This is just a temporary base without any important facilities. Even if we take it down, it seems to have no value.

What's more, this place is not too far from the Konoha headquarters. As long as they send the information back in time, the headquarters can provide support at any time.

In other words, it is impossible for the enemy to hold on.

There is even a risk of being made into a dumpling.

Why would the enemy do something where the risks and benefits are totally disproportionate?

Destroy Konoha’s manpower?
Please!

There are only a few people here, and none of them are famous ninjas. Even if they are all killed, how much impact can it have on Konoha?

Borrow the way?

But you should not make any noise when borrowing the road.

Due to the information asymmetry, Qingming couldn't guess the enemy's thoughts for a moment, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

At this time, the captain of their first team, Hiroshi Nakajima, stood up.

This was a middle-aged jonin, and the first thing he said was an order.

"Everyone has it!"

Everyone immediately stood up straight, waiting for his next instruction.

"Team One."

"exist!"

A thin jonin stepped forward with three genin.

Qingming knew that this person's name was Okura Seiya, and although he looked frail, he was actually very strong, not inferior to their leader, Furukawa. "Seiya, your team will stay at the camp," Nakajima Hiro ordered.

"Yes, Captain."

Okura Seiji had no objection, responded, and then stepped back.

Nakajima Hiro looked at the others and said, "Second, third, and fourth teams!"

"exist!"

The captains of the three teams responded at the same time.

"Follow me immediately to support the second team."

"Yes, Captain!"

Furukawa and others responded again.

Qingming didn't quite understand this arrangement.

According to his thinking, Okura Seiya is so strong that he should join the team to provide support. It would be a waste of his talent for him to stay here.

Fortunately, Nakajima Hiroshi quickly made him understand the significance of this arrangement.

He only said: "Shengye, summon your spirit beast now."

"Ah."

Okura Sei nodded without any surprise, then bit the tip of his thumb, and blood flowed down his palm.

Okura Sheng seemed to feel no pain. He quickly formed the five seals of 'Hai - Xu - You - Shen - Wei', used blood as a guide, performed spiritualism, and summoned a night owl.

Then, he used some kind of ninjutsu to connect Night Owl's vision with his own.

In this way, he will see what Night Owl sees at the same time.

Although this connection distance is limited, it is undoubtedly a good reconnaissance method.

At this point, Qing Ming finally understood what Nakajima Hiroshi meant.

The other party obviously intended to let this night owl act with them, and then transmit the information back in real time through the connection between it and Okura Seiya.

After that, Okura Seiya will contact the base camp and let them know the situation here.

By then, whether it is support or counter-encirclement, we can be able to do it effectively.

Sure enough, Nakajima Hiroshi's next words confirmed his guess.

"Seiye, you will be in charge of the Owl from now on. Follow us secretly and pass on the intelligence to the base camp at any time."

Hearing this, Okura Seiya nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

Thump~
There was a sound of flapping wings.

The night owl summoned by Okura Seiya flew into the sky and disappeared into the night sky in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Nakajima Hiro nodded, and then said to Qingming and others: "Let's go!"

After saying this, he took the lead and ran into the forest.

Qing Ming and others did not dare to delay and hurriedly chased after him.

What made Qingming feel relieved was that Nakajima Hiroshi did not divide his troops blindly, but took all of them to the nearest battlefield.

It is obvious that he intends to find out the situation and then act accordingly.

Qingming wholeheartedly agreed with this.

The current situation is unclear, and rashly dividing our forces would undoubtedly be a very dangerous move. If we are defeated one by one, that would be a real nuisance.

Fortunately, Nakajima Hiroshi was able to become the squad leader. He is not a fool and did not make such a low-level mistake.

This calmed Qingming's uneasy heart a little.

······
brush brush~
In the dense forest.

Qing Ming and the others were walking quickly and were about to approach the battlefield when Nakajima Hiroshi in front of them suddenly raised his right arm and signaled everyone to stop.

Everyone stopped immediately and looked around vigilantly.

At some point, the chirping of insects and birds in the forest had stopped, and in the silent night, the only sound was the rustling of leaves in the night wind.

It's eerily quiet around here!
Everyone held their breath and looked around, as if there were some ferocious insects and beasts lurking around, making people afraid to breathe deeply.
