Chapter 405: Respective Reactions

below.

Inside a Kirigakure warship.

Qing suddenly opened his eyes, his expression became quite ugly.

Next to him, a Kirigakure Jonin saw this and quickly asked: "What's wrong, Ao?"

As the only ninja with Byakugan in Kirigakure Village, Ao has high hopes, and he will basically be involved in any more important tasks.

And this time, it's no exception!

This time, he has only one mission, which is to use the clairvoyance ability of Byakugan to observe things within a radius of one kilometer at any time to ensure the smoothness of the operation.

Now, with his expression so ugly, it naturally made the Kirigakure jounin next to him feel bad.

And Qing's next words immediately confirmed his guess.

Just listen to him say: "Our whereabouts may have been exposed."

"What?"

Even though he had already had a premonition in his heart, when the Kirigakure jounin heard the news, he couldn't help but scream in surprise.

You know, they have been preparing for this operation for a long time, and the information has been sealed very tightly. How come it was suddenly exposed?

"What is the specific situation?"

The Kirigakure Jōnin calmed down and asked again.

Hearing this, Qing shook his head and said, "I don't know. I only saw the figure of Uchiha Qingming in the sky. I don't know anything else."

"Uchiha Seimei?"

Upon hearing this, the Kirigakure jounin immediately came to the window and looked outside.

Seeing this, Qing said: "No need to look, he has already left. The most important thing now is to tell the captain the news. What should we do next?"

Hearing this, the Kirigakure Jōnin finally came to his senses, and stopped lingering. He said to Qing, "Continue to monitor the surroundings," and left quickly.

Suddenly, Qing was the only one left in the cabin.

He looked thoughtful, and after a long time, he murmured: "It's different."

This time, the chakra flow in Qing Ming's body he saw was different from what he saw two days ago, which made him even more curious.

With this thought in mind, he took out a sealing scroll from his ninja tool bag.

Then, he made a seal with his hands and opened it with a bang, and several books appeared in front of him.

It can be vaguely seen that these books are very old and seem to have been there for some time.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

These books were collected by him in the past two days with the help of channels in the village.

Most of the things recorded above are related to the Uchiha clan.

Qing carefully picked up one of the books and began to read through it.

Soon, the only sound left in the cabin was the rustling of books.

After a while, Qing was immersed in it.

As for the captain's decision.

Qing didn't care.

In other words, he already knew the result - no matter what, this operation could not be canceled.

Without him, the village had been preparing for this operation for a long time, and it was impossible to just give up.

Moreover, this operation is not limited to their place, the other three strongholds will also be launched from tonight to tomorrow morning.

Therefore, even if the whereabouts are exposed, the mission will continue.

It will even speed up.

Ao's guess was correct. After the Kirigakure jonin reported the information, it didn't take long for the Kirigakure fleet to speed up.

Obviously, they no longer care about being exposed, and now they just want to get to the target location as soon as possible and launch an attack.

However, no matter how fast they are, they can't be faster than Qing Ming.

······

A quarter of an hour later.

Qing Ming returned to the Black Stone Stronghold.

Without any pause, he immediately rushed towards the conference room.

Bang~

The door to the conference room was pushed open by Qing Ming.

Several Konoha Jonin who were on duty inside were startled by the sudden sound and were about to say something.

However, when they saw Qing Ming's extremely serious face, they immediately realized that something was wrong, so they quickly asked: "What happened, Qing Ming?"

Hearing this, Qing Ming said without any nonsense, "Notify Captain Sano immediately. The Mist Ninjas from Feiyu Town are taking the waterway to prepare for an attack."

"What?"

When several Konoha jounin heard Qingming's words, they stood up and expressed disbelief.

But seeing that Qing Ming didn't look like he was joking at all, they all immediately swallowed back what they were about to say.

One of them calmed down and said: "I will inform the captain that there are other jounin."

After saying this, the man left the meeting room regardless of the reactions of others.

Seeing this, another person also said: "I'm going to gather people. I'm afraid the defensive force on the east side of the stronghold is not enough. It must be strengthened as soon as possible."

After saying that, he also left.

With these two people at the beginning, everyone else also performed their duties and took action immediately.

After a while, Qing Ming was the only one left in the conference room.

Following this, the entire Blackstone stronghold became noisy.

Apparently, all the ninjas were awakened.

Qing Ming did not leave the conference room. He knew that Sano Nobuhisa would have something to ask him later, so he stayed here.

Sure enough, just a few minutes later, Nobuhisa Sano rushed to the conference room in a hurry.

As soon as he came in, he asked: "Qingming, what is the specific situation over there in Kirigakure?"

Qing Ming didn't hide anything and immediately told everything he saw truthfully.

As for the speculation in my mind

That goes without saying.

There's no reason why the other party wouldn't think of things he can think of.

So, no need to elaborate.

Sure enough, after listening to his narration, Sano Nobuhisa immediately said: "It seems that Kirigakure has been prepared for a long time."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Fortunately, we did not relax our vigilance, otherwise it would be a big trouble."

Qingming certainly knew what the other party meant by "did not relax our vigilance".

In the past few days, although the Feiyu Town stronghold was breached, their Black Stone stronghold shifted the focus of defense to the land.

However, similarly, the east side defense line facing the ocean has not been completely withdrawn.

In this way, as long as it can be delayed for a while, Sano Nobuhisa can mobilize enough manpower to defend the east side defense line.

And this is inseparable from Qingming's contribution.

If he hadn't brought back the intelligence in advance, Konoha might have been caught off guard, and the situation would be hard to say at that time.

And now, although time is still tight, it is enough for Konoha to make some preparations.

Only for this item, Qingming didn't know how much loss the stronghold had avoided and how many lives had been saved.

Thinking of this, Sano Nobuhisa's eyes looking at Qingming suddenly became complicated.

Thinking about the past two days, he was still a little unhappy because Qingming pretended to be stupid and unwilling to cooperate with his plan - to attract the attention of the Mist Ninja of Feiyu Town.

He never thought that in just two days, the other party had made such a great contribution.

How embarrassed is he?

"Captain?"

Seeing that Sano Nobuhisa had been staring at him without saying a word, Qingming directly said: "Captain, do you have any other instructions?"

"Oh!"

Hearing Qingming's question, Sano Nobuhisa instantly came back to his senses.

He quickly calmed down, thought for a moment, and said, "Qingming, you don't have to worry about what's going on here."

"Now, go back immediately, use the air advantage to monitor the actions of the Mist Ninja, and be sure to pass on their intelligence in time."

Hearing this, Qingming nodded and said, "No problem, let Yamanaka Aoi contact me later."

The so-called Yamanaka Aoi is a special ninja in the base. As a ninja of the Yamanaka clan, he is very good at the "heart-to-heart technique", which is just right for the current situation.

Although Qingming himself has developed the "heart-to-heart technique", as long as he leaves a shadow clone, he can communicate with Sano Nobuhisa in real time.

However, people still have to keep a hand.

Anyway, there is ready-made labor in the base, so why should he steal the limelight?

"Aoi Yamanaka."

After hearing Qingming's words, Sano Nobuhisa pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, you should leave as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Qingming simply responded, then performed the 'Instant Body Technique' and left the meeting room, then performed the 'Wind Style: Wind Wings' again and flew high into the sky.
