Chapter 447 The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn’t stop
dong dong dong~
Hearing the knock on the door, Qingming instinctively let go of his perception, and then felt a familiar breath outside the door.

"It's him?"

Qingming's mind moved, he walked to the door, and then opened it.

crunch~
The sound of the wooden door rubbing against the ground was piercing to the ears and making people feel very uncomfortable.

However, Qingming doesn't have the leisure to pay attention to these things now.

He looked outside the door and saw a familiar figure standing there.

It was none other than a messenger Chunin who often followed Sano Nobuhisa, named Ichiro Nakagawa. Qingming had met him many times.

"What's the matter?"

Qing Ming looked at the other person and spoke directly.

Hearing this, Nakagawa Ichiro said without further ado, "Qingming Jonin, Captain Sano asked you to rush to the headquarters immediately."

He spoke very quickly, and Qingming could clearly hear the sense of urgency in his speech.

So, frowning, he asked, "What happened?"

Hearing Qingming's question, Nakagawa Ichiro glanced around and confirmed that there was no one else around before he said softly, "The reconnaissance team just sent back a message that the Mist Ninja in Feiyu Town has taken action."

"Ok?"

This time, Qingming frowned even more tightly.

Since Nobuhisa Sano called him to a meeting in such a hurry, it was obvious that the news was true, which meant that the Mist Ninja was going to take action again.

This is really the case of the tree wanting to be still but the wind does not stop!
Qingming originally thought that after the failure the day before yesterday, the Mist Ninja would at least lie dormant for a while.

I never thought that the opponent would launch another attack so soon.

As a result, his practice plan had to be changed again.

This made Qingming very unhappy.

"Qingming Jonin?"

Seeing that Qingming was slow to speak, Ichiro Nakagawa spoke carefully.

"Oh~"

Qing Ming was awakened by the other party's voice, and came back to his senses, saying: "I'll pack up and go over, you go notify the others!"

After hearing Qingming's reply, Ichiro Nakagawa responded with a "yes" and ran to other places quickly.

Qingming returned to his room, quickly sorted out his equipment, and finally picked up the long sword on the table, hung it around his waist, and walked towards the command center.

······
ten minutes later.

Command.

In the conference room.

Everyone who should come has arrived.

Nobuhisa Sano was the last to walk into the conference room and took the first seat.

He didn't waste any words and immediately gave a brief account of the information sent back by the reconnaissance team.

Just as Ichiro Nakagawa said, about half an hour ago, the Mist Ninjas of Feiyu Town suddenly split into two groups and rushed towards them from land and sea respectively.

As for its purpose.
Needless to say, everyone can guess it.

Scanning everyone's faces one by one, Sano Nobuhisa continued, "Based on their speed, they will reach us in about an hour and a half. Even if you include the time for rest and recovery, it will not exceed three hours."

Three hours
For the ninjas with amazing mobility, it is not too long, but not too short either, which is enough for them to do a good job of defense.

Qingming didn't understand why Sano Nobuhisa called them over so anxiously?
"Could it be that"

Suddenly, Qingming thought of something and looked at Sano Nobuhisa abruptly.

The next moment, he said, "Let's discuss whether we should take the initiative to attack."

"Take the initiative?"

The people below heard this and cried out in surprise.

When Qing Ming heard the other party's words, he secretly said, "Sure enough!"

If the other party didn't have this idea, there would be no need to call them over so anxiously.

Now it seems that the other party is not satisfied with defending here, and wants to take the initiative to attack the Mist Ninja.

"I just don't know what the other party's confidence is?"

There is no doubt that this move has both advantages and disadvantages.

The disadvantages can be seen at a glance. Leaving the Blackrock Stronghold is equivalent to losing the geographical advantage.

Not being able to fight on home ground and waiting for the enemy to attack would definitely make the ninja lose some of their advantages. But at the same time, there are many benefits to taking the initiative.

Apart from anything else, at least we can seize the opportunity to start a war instead of waiting here.

In addition, they can also flexibly deploy tactics and ambush the Mist Ninjas, thereby more effectively annihilating the enemy's manpower.

Everyone here is an elite, and they can think of what Qingming can think of.

As a result, the meeting room immediately became noisy and everyone was expressing their opinions.

After discussing for a few minutes, Qingming's head started to hurt, so he knocked on the table.

dong dong dong~
A dull voice sounded.

Everyone looked over at him, and immediately realized that he had something to say, so they shut their mouths one after another.

It is true that Qingming is not very old, but his steady style of doing things and his extraordinary strength make no one dare to underestimate him.

Therefore, whenever he made a move, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Qing Ming did not show any fear and directly asked Sano Nobuhisa: "What is the number and strength of the enemy? What is the distribution of personnel for land and sea attacks?"

There is no doubt that what Qingming asked are of paramount importance.

If Kirigakure sends out fewer people this time, then there won't be any big problems whether they take the initiative to attack or defend their stronghold.

On the contrary, if the Mist Ninja sends out far more manpower than they do, then no matter how they struggle, it will be meaningless.

After all, in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy or trick is just a sideshow.

Hearing Qing Ming's question, everyone present looked at Sano Nobuhisa.

It’s not that these people couldn’t think of this, but it’s not their turn yet. Qingming just didn’t want to waste time with them, so he did it in one step.

Hearing Qingming's question, facing everyone's gaze, Sano Nobuhisa said hesitantly: "The number of people sent out by Kirigakure this time is the same as last time."

"what?"

At this moment, everyone who heard the news was shocked.

They had heard that Nobuhisa Sano was planning to take the initiative to attack, and thought that Kirigakure would not send many men this time.

I never thought it would be almost the same as last time.

Not to mention that they were able to block the attack of the Mist Ninja last time, they will definitely be able to do so this time.

Not to mention Qingming’s performance the day before yesterday, the number of Konoha ninjas who died or were injured in that battle alone was not a small number.

And what about the Mist Ninja?

Those who can participate in the action, even if they have injuries, will not be too serious.

In other words, the enemy's strength this time has far exceeded theirs.

That's it, and you're still taking the initiative?

No one knew what Nobuhisa Sano was thinking.

Facing everyone's puzzled gazes, Nobuhisa Sano lowered his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

After everyone stopped talking, he spoke: "According to the news sent back by Maple Leaf Jonin, although the Mist Ninja sent out a lot of people this time, their overall strength is much lower than before."

Everyone was silent, waiting for him to continue.

Sano Nobuhisa didn't waste any words and continued, "According to Maple Leaf Jonin's observation, the proportion of Genin in the Mist Ninja dispatched this time has increased significantly, and the number of mid-joners has decreased a lot, so we still have the strength to fight."

At this point, he glanced at Qingming obscurely, and thought to himself: "If nothing else, this one person is enough to match several jonin."

After hearing his words, everyone calmed down.

The so-called Maple Leaf, whose full name is Hyuga Maple Leaf, is a special jonin of the Hyuga clan.

Over the past few days, he has been leading a team with special reconnaissance skills, which is specifically responsible for monitoring and investigating the Mist Ninjas in Feiyu Town during the day.

Everyone still trusts the information he brings back.

It was also at this time that everyone began to re-examine Nobuhisa Sano's proposal.

If the difference in strength is not too big, they can indeed take the initiative to attack. If they are lucky, they can concentrate their strength and eliminate the enemies along the way.

In this way, it will be easier to resist the enemies from another direction.

However, there is a prerequisite, which is that it must be resolved quickly.

If they were held back by the enemy and another group of enemies took the opportunity to attack the stronghold, their retreat would most likely be cut off.

At that time, it would not be possible for them to concentrate their strength to destroy the enemy, but the enemy would attack them from both sides to destroy them.
