Chapter 458 Reconnaissance and Action

Blackrock Stronghold.

Over the sky.

Qingming came quietly.

Looking at the slightly tense but still orderly position below, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Since there was no fighting here, it meant that the other team of Mist Ninjas had not arrived yet as expected.

And then, as long as Nobuhisa Sano and others can get back in time before them, this crisis can be almost resolved.

below.

Some Konoha ninjas seemed to have discovered his whereabouts, and one by one, they looked towards him.

Qingming didn't want to pay attention to them at first, but considering that they might be needed to resist the attacks of the Mist Ninja later, he thought about it and decided to go down.

And just as his feet touched the ground, a Konoha jonin used the "Instant Body Technique" to rush over.

As soon as he appeared, he asked, "Qingming, how are things going over there?"

His voice sounded a little anxious, and in addition to hope, there was also a little worry in his tone.

Qingming knew what he was worried about, so he didn't keep him in suspense and said directly: "Don't worry, Captain Moriki, the ambush was very successful, and the enemy suffered a lot of casualties. Captain Sano is leading his men back now."

"Whoo~~~"

Hearing Qingming's answer, Morimu Zheyi breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more relaxed.

Seeing him like this, Qing Ming frowned slightly, fearing that the other party would be careless, so he changed the subject and said, "By the way, some of the enemies have escaped and are now rushing towards this side at full speed. It is not clear whether they will directly attack you. In short, you should be more prepared."

"what?"

Hearing Qing Ming's words, Mori Mu Zheyi's heart tightened.

Nearby, some other Konoha ninjas who had been listening to the conversation between the two men, their expressions changed drastically when they heard the news, and they immediately became extremely alert.

Seeing their reactions, Qingming nodded secretly.

As the saying goes, a journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step.

Qingming doesn't want things to reach the final stage and end up with these people failing.

Therefore, the necessary pressure must be given.

In the end, it was Tetsuichi Moriki who reacted first and asked him about the situation of Akiku Yasuda and others.

Qing Ming did not hide anything and immediately told everyone what he had observed.

It is true that the strength of Akiku Yasuda and others who carried out the "cut-off tail" survival plan was greatly reduced, but for Tetsuichi Moriki and others who are now staying in the Black Stone stronghold, they are still a force that cannot be ignored.

The most crucial thing is that according to the latest intelligence, another team of Mist Ninjas will soon be coming from the sea. If both sides arrive and attack them together, their situation will be dangerous.

The more he thought about it, the uglier Moriki Tetsuichi's expression became.

Seeing him like this, Qing Ming was afraid that the pressure would be too great and would overwhelm the other party, leading to a misjudgment of the situation.

So, he continued, "Don't worry, we have two teams of ninja chasing you from behind. Captain Sano has also sent a team of people who are rushing over at full speed. Those people will most likely not attack you directly."

"is it?"

After hearing the news, although Moriki Tetsuichi's expression was still serious, it was slightly better than before.

Seeing the change in his expression, Qingming knew that the matter was settled.

So, he no longer paid attention to the other party, said goodbye to him, and then performed "Wind Style: Wind Wings" again, flew high into the sky, and flew towards the sea.

That’s right, he planned to find another team of Mist Ninjas and see where they were now.
As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.

Since he has such a useful ability as 'Wind Style: Wind Wings', he naturally wants to keep all the information in his hands.

This will make it easier for him to make decisions.

In addition, he also wanted to see whether the harassment team arranged by Sano Nobuhisa was able to hold back the Mist Ninja?
······
In a flash, nearly half an hour had passed. Because he was flying high enough and had a wide field of vision, Qing Ming didn't spend too much time to find another team of Mist Ninjas.

When he arrived, he found that a battle was going on.

On the sea, some Mist Ninjas broke away from the warship and were besieging several Konoha Ninjas.

Qingming recognized these people. They were the ninjas sent by Sano Nobuhisa to carry out harassment missions.

However, as far as he knew, there were quite a few of them.

but now.
Qing Ming opened his Sharingan and looked around carefully, but found no signs of other people. It seemed that there were only these few people in the field.

I don’t know whether the others are hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to act, or have already sacrificed themselves.

In short, these were the only people he could see.

With the strength of these people, it is obviously impossible to stop the advance of the Mist Ninja Fleet.

Just like now, although the Mist Ninja sent some people to deal with them, the fleet as a whole did not stop at all and continued to sail.

At this speed, the other party will most likely reach the outskirts of the Black Stone stronghold before Nobuhisa Sano and others return.

By then, if they meet up with Akiku Yasuda and others, the Black Stone stronghold will be in danger.

And this, without a doubt, is what Qingming does not want to see.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qing Ming finally sighed and said, "Alas, in the end I still have to take action!"

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming no longer hesitated. He immediately controlled the chakra wings behind him and dived towards the Mist Ninjas who were besieging the Konoha Ninjas at a maximum speed of forty meters per second.

As for why not go and cause trouble for the fleet?

It's simple, it's too dangerous for him to be alone.

This time, the Kirigakure fleet is not like the one two days ago. There are only a few people on it and their strength is low, so it is easy to deal with them.

Now, these Mist Warships are filled with the attacking Mist Ninjas.

In this situation, if he attacked rashly, his life might not be in danger, but he might suffer some pain.

Moreover, doing so can only delay the situation for a period of time at most, and will not cause any substantial harm to them.

Qingming would never do such a thankless task.

On the contrary, if he rescued these Konoha ninjas first and had them as his assistance, he would have much more room to maneuver.

Apart from anything else, just having these few people act as cannon fodder and attract Kirigakure's attention can reduce a lot of risks for him.

At the same time, it can also create more opportunities for him.

As long as he seizes these opportunities and destroys one or two Kirigakure warships, he will be able to have a huge impact on Kirigakure's operations.

Isn't this much better than simple harassment?
It happened so quickly that just as Qingming was taking action, Wuyin below finally discovered his trace.

Without Ao, the ninja with the Byakugan transplanted with his own eyes, even though Ozawa Yuki was afraid of his existence and sent people to watch the sky, it was too late by the time they discovered him.

At this time, he was not far away from the fleet.

It would take some time for these observation posts to pass this information to Ozawa Yuki and for him to make corresponding arrangements.

And this amount of time was enough for Qing Ming to make up his mind and launch an attack.

Therefore, when the Mist Ninjas realized his arrival and were on high alert, he had already arrived above the battlefield.

咻咻 咻 ~
Several shurikens flew out.

Below, a Mist Village Chunin sensed the danger and immediately broke away from the group of ninjas besieging Konoha and dodged to the side.

However, Qingming was waiting for this moment.

Almost at the moment he dodged, Qingming completed the hand seal, opened his mouth, and performed the ninjutsu - Fire Style: Dragon Fire Jutsu!
It is true that in this environment, the power of Fire Style Ninjutsu will be reduced, but as long as there is enough chakra, everything will not be a problem.
