Chapter 391 Mission
In a blink of an eye, it was already mid-afternoon.

inside the room.

Qingming opened his eyes and looked at his empty palms. Then he picked up the book beside him and started reading it carefully.

After a while, he sighed and said, "Ah, the fourth attribute is really not that easy to develop!"

In the ninja world, except for those ninjas who have inherited some bloodline limits, most ninjas are born with only one chakra attribute.

In fact, before being promoted to jonin, there is only one type.

Only after reaching the level of Jonin will they begin to develop a second chakra attribute to make up for their own shortcomings.

Of course, some geniuses may come earlier.

But the preparations only started during the Chunin period.

However, among these people, more than 90% only have two chakra attributes in the end.

The reason for this is not that they are unwilling to continue developing. There is no doubt that mastering multiple chakra attributes will enhance combat effectiveness. If possible, no one will give up, but they just can't do it.

If the difficulty of developing the innate chakra attribute is one, then the difficulty of developing the second attribute is five.

At this point, any ninja with a little talent can do it.

However, when it comes to the third attribute, the difficulty will reach ten.

Although the difficulty is only doubled compared to developing the second chakra attribute, it is ten times more difficult than developing the innate chakra attribute.

At this step, ninjas who don't have enough talent will basically be rejected.

Nowadays, more than half of the jonin in the ninja world are at this stage.

As for developing the fourth chakra attribute, Qingming currently feels that the difficulty is at least twenty.

In this case, if you are not a genius, there is no need to waste your time.

Because even if they manage to develop it, it may not necessarily have a good effect.

Instead of spending this time, you might as well hone your existing abilities!

In this way, the improvement may be even greater.

However, Qingming had no intention of giving up.

Not to mention the existence of the proficiency panel, after developing the earth attribute chakra, he doesn't have to worry about the subsequent mastery issues. Just because of its restraining effect on water attribute chakra, he cannot give up.

This is not to say that he wants to deal with a ninja who is proficient in water escape, but the five chakra attributes - fire, wind, lightning, earth, and water. There are obvious relationships of advantages and disadvantages between them, which can form a perfect retreat. If one of them is missing, it is equivalent to having a flaw.

Indeed, when fighting, he can rely on his vast amount of chakra to defeat others with force.

But if he were to face a ninja with an equally huge amount of chakra and who happened to have mastered the ninjutsu that could restrain him, then this shortcoming would be infinitely magnified.

The barrel theory from the previous life illustrates this point very well - how much water a barrel can hold does not depend on the longest board, but on the shortest one.

The reason why he was so diligent in developing new chakra properties was to lengthen the shortest wooden board.

In this way, there will be no obvious flaws.

Therefore, no matter how difficult the process is, you must not give up.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming focused his mind, compared it with the contents in the book again, and continued to develop the earth attribute chakra.

······
Sunset and moonrise.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

During the past day, neither Kirigakure nor Konoha made any rash moves.

During this period, not to mention a major war, even a small-scale battle did not occur. Both sides seemed to have not seen each other and remained silent throughout.

However, Qingming knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

Just like Konoha, they were deploying troops all day long.

Although the mobility of ninjas far exceeds that of ordinary troops, such a large-scale troop mobilization still requires a certain amount of time.

That's why there was no action.

Similarly, the Hidden Mist Village is also actively preparing.

Therefore, he only had one day to practice.

However, that’s as far as it goes.

Not long ago, his mission came down. Uchiha Yashiro actually managed to get him a good mission.

Thinking this in his mind, Qing Ming packed up his equipment, made sure that he had everything, and then walked out of the room.

After that, without stopping for long, he raised his hands, quickly completed the hand seals, and performed the ninjutsu - Wind Style: Wind Wings!

bang~
A pair of light blue chakra wings spread out.

Qing Ming thought about it and controlled the pair of wings to flap slightly.

The next moment, the man arrived in heaven.

After that, he circled and flew straight towards Flying Fish Town.

The so-called Flying Fish Town is actually a small town on the eastern border of the Fire Nation, close to the sea.

Due to its special geographical environment, it is often hit by storms all year round, but after the storm, it often brings in a large number of fish.

Hence, it was named Flying Fish Town.

The Feiyu Town stronghold was once a fulcrum of Konoha's central defense line.

As for now.
It became one of the four strongholds that were breached by the Hidden Mist Village.

This time, their mission at the Blackrock Stronghold is to recapture it.

His mission was to use his flying advantage to scout the movements of the enemy there and provide intelligence for the command to arrange combat plans.

Anyway, this is a good task!
With his current abilities, if he acts under cover of night, the Hidden Mist Village will have almost no way to deal with him, so his safety can be said to be very high.

The most important thing is that you can also get a lot of credit.

Of course, this is also acceptable to the village.

After all, the importance of intelligence sometimes far exceeds the combat power of a jonin.

Although his combat power as a jonin is 'not worthy of its reputation' and somewhat exceeds the scope of a jonin, it is just so-so on a battlefield with hundreds or thousands of people.

This is especially true when you are being targeted.

That’s right, the command center has received the news that the Hidden Mist Village has made special arrangements to target flying targets this time.

This time, it was almost impossible for him to put out fires everywhere like he did that night.

It is for this reason that the village agreed to Uchiha Yashiro's proposal.

Otherwise, how could they allow such a powerful jonin like him to just be a bystander?
······
A quarter of an hour later.

Qing Ming arrived above the Feiyu Town stronghold.

Looking down from the sky, you can see that the entire Feiyu Town outpost is brightly lit and filled with shadowy figures.

With his Sharingan opened, Qingming took a closer look and discovered that those people were the patrolling Mist Team.

At this moment, the entire Feiyu Town outpost was like a huge machine, and every ninja inside it was a gear embedded in it, together forming this monster called "War".

"It's not easy to fight!"

After looking for a while, Qing Ming couldn't help but sigh.

From the layout of the Hidden Mist Village, it can be seen that they did not choose to advance recklessly, but planned to use this small town as a starting point, advance step by step, and gradually expand outward.

In this case, it would be difficult for Konoha to break through here with only the manpower gathered in the Black Stone stronghold.

But it is not realistic to mobilize more manpower.

Now, the decisive battle between Konoha and the Sand Village has reached a critical moment. Coupled with the distraction from the Iwagakure Village, it is simply impossible to mobilize any extra manpower.

“Oh, that’s difficult!”

With a light sigh, Qing Ming shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

These matters are taken care of by the Konoha top management. Why should he think so much? It is enough to do his own thing well. In the end, Konoha will be able to drive away the Hidden Mist Village anyway.

With this thought in mind, Qingming once again carefully observed the situation inside and outside the stronghold below, and made records.

These all need to be submitted, and there cannot be any mistakes.

Although he intends to play a supporting role in this battle, he still has to have the right attitude.
