Chapter 46 Return
In a flash, several hours passed.

Qingming was originally worried that there were other enemies chasing him, but as the day was about to dawn, he didn't see a second person, which made his tense spirit relax a little.

If the enemy has the advantage, they will not ignore Shiraishi Cangdou's life or death, so it is likely that our side will win.

Next, he just had to wait patiently for rescue.

As for returning on your own
Qing Ming thought about it and gave up.

After all, his side's victory was just his guess. What if the situation was intense and the enemy couldn't take care of this side for the time being? Wouldn't he be walking into a trap if he went back?

So, just wait patiently!
And this wait lasted for two hours.

······
Two hours later.

It's bright.

Forest.

Four Konoha ninjas were running fast.

Suddenly, the leading jonin stopped, threw out a kunai, and shouted, "Who is it?"

Upon hearing this, the three Konoha Genin immediately dispersed and formed a defensive formation.

Hey~
The kunai was intercepted in mid-air.

Qingming walked out from behind the tree.

Seeing his attire, a Konoha Genin facing him exclaimed in surprise, "Konoha Ninja?!"

"Ah."

Qingming nodded.

Seeing this, the leading jonin still did not relax his vigilance, but asked: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Ming told everyone his identity and what happened last night in detail.

The leading ninja listened to his story, looked at the scar on his chest, thought for a moment, and then took him back to the temporary base.

About an hour later, Furukawa appeared in the temporary residence.

After his identity was verified, Qingming was brought back to the base camp.

From the other party's mouth, Qingming finally understood the whole story.

At first, he felt that the Iwa Ninja's surprise attack was unreasonable.

There were no important facilities in their previous defense area, so there was little point in taking it down, and they couldn't hold it. Attacking here would be a completely thankless task.

Now, Qingming finally understood that this was not meaningless.

Because last night not only their defense zone was raided, but also several defense zones adjacent to them, as well as several defense zones on the other side of the base camp were raided.

Moreover, it wasn’t just the Rock Ninjas who took part in the raid, there were also the Sand Ninjas.

It is unknown what agreement the two villages reached, but they launched a surprise attack on Konoha's headquarters at the same time.

That’s right, it’s the base camp.

The ninjas who attacked their outer defense areas could only be considered a feint. The real main force actually waited for a while before launching the attack.

Last night, after receiving calls for help from all parties, the headquarters immediately dispatched several troops for reinforcement.

However, soon after the team set out, the main forces of the Rock Ninja and the Sand Ninja appeared and attacked the base camp from the east and west directions.

These main forces were not the "mob" that Qingming and others encountered. Once they appeared on the scene, the defense zones on the east and west sides could not hold on at all.

It was broken through in just a short time.

Seeing that the enemy was about to reach the base camp, Orochimaru had no choice but to order the support troops to return.

So, just as Qingming and others were struggling to hold on, an extremely brutal battle broke out at the base camp.

Needless to say, Konoha finally managed to keep its base.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to see Furukawa now.

but
Qingming glanced at Guchuan's empty right arm and couldn't help but sigh at the danger of the battlefield.

That's right, Gu Chuan lost an arm in the battle last night, and it was his dominant right hand, which would undoubtedly reduce his strength by a large margin. But this is already the best result.

Of the four jonin from Konoha last night, only he and a special jonin survived. The squad leader, Nakajima Hiroshi, and another special jonin both died in the battle.

In addition, only one Chunin was left.

However, although Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko suffered serious injuries, they were lucky enough to hold on until Okura Seiya came to support them.

That's right, although the base camp was unable to provide timely support, Okura Seiya, the senior ninja who stayed behind at the base, did provide support.

It is precisely because of this that talents like Ryosuke were able to survive.

Originally, Guchuan thought Qingming was dead, but then he suddenly heard news about him. At first he thought someone was impersonating him.

After all, he hadn't shown up for such a long time, and when he left the battlefield, he was chased by a special jonin, so his death was normal.

But no one expected that Qingming actually survived and killed the enemy.

This made Furukawa very pleased.

As for the killing process.
Qingming emphasized his enemies' contempt for him and his cautiousness.

Anyway, no one has ever seen Shiraishi Cangdou burst out with all his strength, so the specific combat power is not up to him to decide.

Even if someone guessed that there might be some problems here, as long as he refused to admit it, would anyone still stand up for his enemy, Shiraishi Cangdou?

After a while, when his strength improves, this problem will no longer be a problem.

······
Return to base camp.

Qing Ming first went to see Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko.

When the two saw him, they could almost be described as crying with joy.

Seeing that they were fine, Qing Ming rarely smiled.

The three of them talked for a while, and then Qingming went to the medical team to treat his injuries.

The other skin injuries are minor, but the chest injury must be treated as soon as possible.

Although the high temperature carried by the lightning had charred his wounds and stopped the bleeding, it would likely leave sequelae if not treated carefully.

Qingming didn't want to be like Moonlight Gale later, coughing for a while after taking two steps.

Speaking of Moonlight Gale, Qingming thought of the 'Dance of the Crescent Moon'.

Last night's battle made Qingming realize that his ninjutsu was sufficient for long-range attacks for the time being.

Next, just keep upgrading their levels.

On the other hand, in close combat, 'basic physical skills' are obviously not enough, and he must learn more advanced techniques as soon as possible.

Of course, he didn't want to learn the 'Crescent Moon Dance'.

When performing this secret technique, you must first use the "Shadow Clone Technique" to summon two shadow clones, then quickly move the clones and the main body to the enemy, and finally attack the enemy's vital points from the top, left, and right directions.

It can be seen from this process that this move consumes a huge amount of chakra and emphasizes a one-hit kill, so it is only suitable for ninjas like Moonlight Gale who specialize in sneak attacks and assassinations.

Qingming's goal is to become a hexagonal warrior, not an assassin, so this move is not suitable for him.

What he wanted to learn was the prerequisite sword technique - Konoha-style sword technique.

Although this technique is not widely spread among Konoha ninjas, there are indeed only a few people who can master it.

For example, the perennial Genin Maruboshi Kosuke and the Konoha Jonin Baikumo Yeshan both know this technique and have developed their own secret skills based on it.

Qing Ming felt that if he learned this technique and improved his proficiency, he should be able to develop his own unique sword moves.

Of course, these are not the most important.

The most important thing is that it is relatively widely circulated, and the villages are not so strict. Basically, as long as you have enough merits, you can exchange it.

The relatively low difficulty in obtaining it is the main reason why Qingming set his sights on it.

While walking, Qing Ming calculated the battlefield merits he had accumulated over the past month, and it was almost enough.

Qingming planned to go to the logistics department to exchange for this technique after he had treated his injuries.
