Chapter 39 Night Raid (Part 1)

A flash.

It was late at night.

Boom~

Suddenly, an explosion came from a distance, awakening Qing Ming from his sleep.

In just an instant, his eyes changed from confused to sharp.

With almost no hesitation, Qing Ming grabbed the ninja tool bag and forehead protector beside him, and at the same time turned over and sat up. After leaving the tent, he was already fully armed.

There were several people walking out with him, including their leader Furukawa.

He came to Furukawa's side in a few steps, followed his gaze and looked into the distance, where he could vaguely hear some fighting sounds.

Obviously, something happened.

The patrol and defense tasks in this area are carried out by two detachments, one of which is responsible for the day and the other for the night.

The first detachment of their 17th squadron patrols during the day, while the second detachment that joins them patrols at night.

There is no doubt that it is the second unit that is fighting the unknown enemy.

The second team has four teams, two of which have the same configuration as their squad, consisting of one jounin and three genin.

The remaining two teams are composed of one special jounin and three chuunin.

In this way, including the jounin-level team leaders, the second team has a total of seventeen people, including three jounin, two special jounin, and six chunin and genin each.

This is almost the same as their first unit.

Now, Qing Ming only hoped that the enemy accidentally revealed his whereabouts and was caught by a certain team of the second team, and a fight broke out as a last resort.

Otherwise, there will be big trouble.

Because that means that the enemy's overall combat power will not be lower than theirs, and the mission is no longer the previous lurking and infiltration, but a surprise attack.

In this way, both sides are bound to fight to the death.

While Qing Ming was deep in thought, the first team was assembled.

At the same time, sounds of fighting were heard from two other directions in the forest.

Okay, no need to guess.

This is 100% not lurking and infiltrating.

Whoever lurks and infiltrates will organize multiple troops at the same time, so that if they are discovered, it will be difficult to evacuate.

Seeing that they didn't care about their whereabouts being leaked, they were obviously preparing for a surprise attack.

only

Qing Zhenzhen didn't understand, what was the significance of the enemy's surprise attack?

This is just a temporary settlement without any important facilities. Even if it is captured, it seems to be of no value.

What's more, it's not too far from Konoha's base camp. As long as they send the information back in time, the base camp can provide support at any time.

In other words, it is impossible for the enemy to defend it.

There is even a risk of being dumped.

Why would the enemy do something like this where the risks and benefits are completely unequal?

Destroy Konoha's vital force?

Please!

There are only a few people here, and there are no famous ninjas. Even if they are all killed, how much impact will they have on Konoha?

Borrowing a way?

But taking advantage of the road should not cause any commotion.

The information was unequal. For a while, Qing Ming couldn't guess what the enemy was thinking, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

At this time, the leader of their first team, Nakajima Hiro, stood up.

This is a middle-aged jounin who gives orders whenever he speaks.

"Everyone has it!"

Everyone immediately stood up straight, waiting for his next instructions.

"Team One."

"exist!"

A thin jounin stood up with three genin.

Qing Ming knew that this person's name was Okura Seiya. He looked weak, but in fact he was extremely powerful, no less powerful than their leader, Furukawa.

"Shengya, your team will stay at the camp." Nakajima Hiro ordered.

"Yes, Captain."

Okura Sage had no objection, and after responding, he stepped back.

Nakajima Hiro looked at the others and said, "Team 2, 3, and 4!"

"exist!"

The captains of the three teams responded at the same time.

"You will follow me immediately to support the second detachment."

"Yes, Captain!"

Furukawa and others responded again.

Qing Ming didn't quite understand this arrangement.

According to his idea, Okura Seiya is so strong that he should accompany the team to support him. Staying here is completely overqualified.

Fortunately, Nakajima Hiro quickly let him know the significance of this arrangement.

Just listen to what he said: "Holy Lord, summon your psychic beast now."

"Um."

Okura Sei nodded without any surprise, and then bit his thumb, leaving blood along his palm.

As if he couldn't feel the pain, Okura Seiji quickly formed the five seals of 'Hai-Xu-You-Shen-Wei', using the blood as a guide, he used psychic skills to summon a night owl.

Then, I don’t know what kind of ninjutsu he performed to connect Ye Xiao’s vision with his own.

In this way, whatever Ye Xiao sees, he will also see simultaneously.

Although this connection distance is limited, it is undoubtedly a good reconnaissance method.

At this point, Qingming finally understood what Nakajima Hiro meant.

The other party obviously planned to let this night owl act with them, and then pass the information back in real time through the connection between it and Okura Seiya.

After that, Okura Seiya will contact the base camp to let the base camp know the situation here.

At that time, whether it is support or counter-encirclement, it can be targeted.

Sure enough, Nakajima Hiro's next words confirmed his guess.

"Seiye, you will control the 'Owl' from now on, follow us secretly, and pass the information to the base camp at any time."

Hearing this, Okura Seiya nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

Flutter~

A sound of flapping wings came.

The night owl summoned by Okura Seiya flew into the sky and disappeared in the night sky in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Nakajima Hiro nodded, and then said to Qingming and others: "Let's go!"

After saying that, he took the lead and ran into the forest.

Qingming and others did not dare to delay and hurriedly chased after him.

What made Qingming feel relieved was that Nakajima Hiro did not blindly divide the troops, but took all of them to the nearest battlefield together.

It was obvious that he planned to figure out the situation and then act according to the situation.

Qingming agreed with both hands and feet.

The current situation is unclear, and rashly dividing the troops is undoubtedly a very dangerous move. If they are defeated one by one, it will be a lot of fun.

Fortunately, Nakajima Hiroshi was able to become the squad leader. He was not a fool and did not make such a low-level mistake.

This calmed Qingming's uneasy heart a little.

······

Swish~

In the dense forest.

Qingming and others walked quickly and were about to approach the battlefield. Nakajima Hiroshi in front suddenly raised his right arm and signaled everyone to stop.

Everyone stopped immediately and looked around vigilantly.

At some point, the chirping of insects and birds in the forest had stopped. Under the silent night, there was only the rustling sound of the night wind blowing through the leaves.

It was terribly quiet around!

Everyone held their breath and observed the surroundings, as if there were some ferocious insects and beasts lurking around, making people dare not breathe heavily.
