Chapter 393 Thoughts and Arrangements

below.

In Flying Fish Town.

A Mist Ninja in navy blue robes removed his index and middle fingers from his right eye.

It can be seen that his right eye is wrapped in a layer of black cloth, and there are faint traces of sealing techniques on it.

This person was none other than the Kirigakure jonin known as the 'White Eye Killer' - Ao.

The right eye that was covered was actually a white eye.

It was precisely because of the far-sightedness and perspective brought by this white eye that he was able to discover Qingming flying in the air early on.

Then, there was this attack.

Unfortunately, Qingming's reaction exceeded their expectations and they were ultimately unable to defeat him.

Seeing Qing put down his right hand, the Mist Hidden Ninja standing beside him said, "How is it?"

Qing shook his head and said, "He's gone."

"Oh, what a pity!"

Hearing this, the Kirigakure jonin sighed.

However, another Kirigakure jonin did not show any regret or such like.

Then he said calmly: "It's nothing to regret. We were in a hurry this time, so it's normal that we couldn't keep him."

At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing, "That's great. Let's treat this as practice. We can do better next time."

"Better?"

Qing murmured, his eyes unconsciously drifting towards the direction where Qingming left, thinking to himself: "They have accumulated experience this time, but so has the other party? When the other party is wary next time, it won't be as easy to deal with them as it was today."

With this thought in mind, Qing looked at the crossbow carts mounted on the top of the building.

'These things are still too rigid after all, whether it is transportation or use.'

'Although it is powerful, it is still not enough to use it against people, especially since Qingming has a pair of Sharingan and amazing insight, which makes it even more difficult.'

"It seems that this can only be used as a deterrent from now on."

Qing kept thinking in his mind, trying to find a way to deal with Qingming.

On the other side, after more than ten minutes of flying, Qingming finally returned to the Black Stone stronghold.

By this time, it was approaching midnight.

However, the situation at the Black Stone stronghold was the same as that at the Flying Fish Town stronghold, with lights on, and in addition to the ninjas on patrol, there were also personnel on duty at the command center.

Obviously, before the war, both sides were very vigilant. There was no such thing as day or night. They were in a state of high alert at all times.

Qing Ming did not waste any time and immediately handed over the information he had collected.

Not only that, he also reported that the Hidden Mist Village had obtained twenty-one crossbow carts from somewhere.

Although these are most likely used against him, it does not stop him from saying them.

In this way, on the one hand, he can show the outside world that his task is not so easy, and on the other hand, it can also allow the villagers to think of ways to see if they can destroy those crossbow carts.

If he could really do that, he would feel more secure in the subsequent war.

However, Qingming estimated that the village was unlikely to be able to do this.

There is no other reason. As long as there is nothing wrong with the Kirigakure commander's brain, he will never relax the protection of those crossbow carts. How could he let people destroy them easily?

Therefore, Qingming didn't hold much hope.

Instead of expecting the village to do this, it would be better for him to see if he could find an opportunity to destroy a few machines while collecting intelligence next time.

Of course, these are the most direct means. There is also a roundabout way, which is to develop a ninjutsu that can hide the body.

In this way, the enemy cannot see him and naturally will not launch an attack, and his safety can be guaranteed.

However, Qingming didn't know that it was Qing who discovered him tonight. Even if he could become invisible, he couldn't hide from Baiyan's insight. So, it was useless.

However, not everyone has the Byakugan, and the ninjutsu he learned to hide his body was not just for this war.

Therefore, even if he knew that he was exposed tonight because of Aoki's Byakugan, he would not give up learning stealth-related ninjutsu.

Speaking of stealth ability, it seems that the Iwagakure Village has such a ninjutsu called "Camouflage Hidden Technique".

Back then, when he was still on the battlefield in Rain Country, he was part of a team that was carrying out a mission to raid the logistics material transfer center of Iwagakure Village in Rain Country. His companion, Mizutani Shizuko, was approached and killed by the Iwagakure senior ninja, Ohara Hideji, who used this technique.

At that time, if Shizuko Mizutani had not pushed him at the critical moment, he might have died at the hands of the other party.

That was the first time he was so close to death, and although he later took revenge, that scene still left a deep impression on him.

It can be said that this technique perfectly meets his requirements.

The only pity is that the 'Camouflage Concealment Technique' is considered a secret technique in the Iwagakure Village. Not to mention him, even for the Iwagakure himself, it is not easy to learn this technique.

“That’s a problem.”

Qingming muttered to himself.

However, he was not in a hurry.

After all, his earth-attribute chakra has not yet been successfully developed. Even if the opportunity is in front of him now, he has no way to learn it.

'So, let's lay a solid foundation first!'

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming did not linger any longer. After leaving the command center, he immediately rushed to his residence.

After returning to the house, he first took care of his own injuries before starting to practice.

A war could break out at any time recently, and there are many people and eyes in the stronghold, so it is not easy for him to create a shadow clone to carry out all-round training.

But this does not mean that the chakra he recovers every day will be wasted.

Qingming raised his hands, crossed them to form the "Ren" seal, and performed the "Shadow Clone Technique" as usual.

The next moment, accompanied by a burst of chakra smoke, three shadow clones appeared on the scene.

Qing Ming went straight to a person and asked him to be responsible for the development of earth attribute chakra.

Then, he looked at the second person and asked him to think about the development of the 'art of telepathy'.

He has been thinking about this ever since he learned the flying ninjutsu. Combined with his previous practical feelings and experiences, he feels that he is almost there.

Once this technique is successfully developed, the communication between him and his shadow clone will no longer rely on canceling the 'Shadow Clone Technique'.

In this way, when he encounters the enemy in the future, he won't have to worry about whether to pass on intelligence or provide combat power.

After the second shadow clone left, Qing Ming looked at the third shadow clone.

The task assigned to this shadow clone by Qing Ming was to carry out the preliminary theoretical work for the development of the 'Shadow Sword Technique'.

That is to say, think about how to develop the 'Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique' based on the 'Shadow Clone Technique'.

There is no doubt that this is not an easy task.

So, until now, there is not much clue.

However, compared to developing flying ninjutsu from scratch, developing the 'Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique' is undoubtedly much simpler.

After all, it has a basis, and he has the relevant concepts in his mind.

Just like developing the 'Wind Style: Rasenshuriken' based on the 'Rasengan', even though no one taught him, he still succeeded quickly.

Therefore, Qing Ming felt that developing the 'Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique' would not waste too much of his time.

After arranging the three shadow clones, Qingming himself came to a corner of the room, sat cross-legged, and began to perform the "Art of Reflecting the Heart" and "Art of Palm Immortal" in turn.

Nowadays, all his tasks are concentrated at night, so the only few hours of sleep time are directly moved to the daytime.

Therefore, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
