Chapter 564 Arrival and Tragedy

Help to deal with the tailed beasts

Hearing this task, everyone cast sympathetic eyes towards Qingming.

Have they not eaten pork, but have they not seen pigs run?

What is a tailed beast?

It is the embodiment of disaster!

As ninjas, and the best among ninjas, they are not as afraid of these things as ordinary people.

However, they are still very clear about the gap in combat power between the two sides.

Therefore, in their opinion, dealing with the tailed beasts is definitely a very dangerous thing.

But

"Why is it Qingming?"

At the same time, this thought also came to their minds.

They have heard of Qingming's name, and some people have seen him take action. Although he is very strong, he is not much stronger than them.

Such strength is not enough to deal with the tailed beasts.

But Nara Qiguang could not have deliberately arranged Qingming to die. He must have his reasons for making such an arrangement.

So, Qingming must have something extraordinary.

"Is it because he can fly?"

Several Konoha ninjas thought so.

Indeed, if he could fly, he would be much safer in the face of the tailed beasts, and he could also attract the attention of the tailed beasts to a certain extent, which made him very suitable for supporting.

"Well, that should be it."

Several Konoha jonin nodded secretly, thinking that they had grasped Nara Qiguang's idea.

However, Uchiha Shisui didn't think so.

He thought that it should be more than that.

For some reason, every time he saw Qingming, he would have a faint sense of oppression. Even though his strength has greatly improved compared to before, he still had no confidence in winning the battle against Qingming.

Qingming always gave him a sense of unfathomable depth.

This made him instinctively have more confidence in Qingming than others.

Therefore, he felt that Nara Qiguang arranged Qingming to play as a support, not just because he could fly.

In fact, it was true.

Since Qingming told him about the ambush he encountered last time, Nara Qiguang secretly investigated it carefully, and it can be confirmed that Qingming's strength is definitely not as simple as it seems.

Although he had this feeling before, and arranged Qingming to prevent the Mist Ninja from coming back for help during the decapitation operation in Yujin Port.

But after this investigation, he felt that he had underestimated Qingming before, and Qingming's true strength should be stronger than he expected.

That's why he arranged Qingming to assist Minato Namikaze this time.

It's for a double insurance.

As a member of the peace faction, he really doesn't want the war to continue.

Therefore, he has to complete the task assigned by Sarutobi Hiruzen with all his heart.

Qingming doesn't know what others think, and doesn't care. Anyway, after receiving this task, he is not surprised but happy.

As soon as he knew that the six-tail appeared in the red tree base, he made up his mind to contact the other party.

This doesn't mean that he wants to capture the other party.

If possible, he really wants to do so.

Unfortunately, his current ability is still insufficient.

Indeed, if he uses the Mangekyō Sharingan, he should be able to control the six-tail easily.

But what about later?

His eyes are not the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan yet, so it is impossible to open them for a long time. Even the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan cannot withstand such consumption.

Finally, he must resort to sealing techniques.

But now, apart from the ‘Guardian Seal’ and the ‘Sealing Array’, he does not know any other sealing techniques, and it is impossible for him to control the tailed beasts.

So, it is impossible for him to capture the tailed beasts now.

Then why did he insist on contacting the other party?

The reason is very simple. He just wanted to test whether the lv6 ‘Chakra Absorption Technique’ is useful to him and whether he can absorb the chakra of the tailed beasts?

You know, he captured the tailed beasts not for the other party’s combat power, but to obtain a steady stream of chakra.

Therefore, whether he can absorb the other party’s chakra is very important.

After all, if he catches the tailed beasts but cannot absorb their chakra, it would be a big joke.

Therefore, it is necessary to test in advance.

Originally, he also planned to use the ‘Shadow Clone Technique’ and the ‘Transformation Technique’ to disguise his identity, and then approach the test.

Now, with Nara Kiku's order, no one would suspect anything even if he deliberately touched the six-tailed beast.

In this case, how could Qingming not be happy?

As for the danger,

To be honest, Qingming didn't take it to heart.

Not to mention that the Uchiha clan's Sharingan has a strong inhibitory effect on the tailed beasts, his extremely fast flying ability alone is enough for him to avoid most dangers.

In addition, he still has "Heaven's Guard" as the last trump card.

If something still happens, then no one in the ninja world can be the opponent of the tailed beasts.

Therefore, Qingming is not very worried about safety.

Soon, the meeting ended.

Qingming didn't waste time. After bidding farewell to several teammates, he immediately performed "Wind Style: Wind Wings" and flew high into the sky, flying in the direction of the mangrove stronghold.

A few minutes later.

Qingming arrived at the destination.

You can see that there is a mangrove forest below.

In the middle of the mangrove forest is a fairly wide road, on which stands a small city. The city has two gates, east and west, leading to both sides of the road respectively.

This is the so-called Red Tree Stronghold.

However, it has now turned into a ruin, and you can still see the flames burning faintly inside.

Obviously, the six-tailed beast left not long ago.

Qingming closed his eyes and felt it carefully for a while.

As expected, he felt a faint sense of oppression in the air, which was the breath naturally emitted by the tailed beast's chakra.

Chakra is formed by the fusion of spiritual energy and physical energy, and naturally has some "alive" characteristics.

Each person's mental state is different, and the fusion of chakra is also different.

For example, later Orochimaru's soul was sealed in both hands, and he found Tsunade for treatment, and was felt by Kabuto Yakushi in his chakra. The Hyuga clan practiced the Byakugan to a high level and could see the enemy's thoughts from the chakra, etc., all of these are based on this principle.

This is true for people, and the tailed beasts are the same.

Perhaps the chakra of the tailed beasts in the past would not be so violent and evil, but as they were imprisoned by humans and began to hate and hate humans, their chakra would naturally change.

In addition, the chakra of the tailed beasts is naturally more "heavy" than that of humans, so Qingming instantly noticed the difference.

Without any delay, Qingming opened his eyes and continued to fly forward according to his feeling.

As he was flying, he suddenly heard a slight explosion in front of him on the right.

After fighting on the battlefield for such a long time, Qingming instantly recognized that it was the sound of the detonating talisman exploding.

Without any hesitation, Qingming immediately raised his hand to seal and unlocked the "guardian seal" at the center of his eyebrows, then concentrated his mind and opened his white eyes.

In an instant, everything within a radius of one kilometer came into his sight.

Qingming focused his attention and immediately looked in the direction of the sound coming from the right front.

The next moment, he saw a battlefield.

There, nearly a hundred Konoha ninjas were trying their best to resist the attack of a similar number of Kirigakure ninjas.

Almost without thinking, Qingming could guess that these should be the Konoha ninjas who survived the attack of the tailed beasts in the red tree stronghold mentioned by Nara Qiguang.

However,

"This number seems a bit inconsistent."

Qingming was puzzled.

So, the search range was expanded again.

Soon, he found another battlefield about two or three hundred meters ahead.

However, there were fewer Konoha ninjas on that battlefield. The two sides combined had less than 150 people.

This number was much less than what Nara Qiguang told them.

At first, Qingming was a little confused, but when he carefully observed the battle on the ground, he understood.

Compared with the ninjas on the Konoha side, although the Kirigakure side sent out fewer people, they were obviously stronger. There were almost no Genin in the team, and the weakest was Chunin.

On the contrary, on the Konoha side, although the red tree stronghold had obvious political significance, it was located in the second line, so the ninja stationed there was not very strong.

In the team, Genin alone accounted for about one-third.

Even so, they experienced the Tailed Beast's surprise attack and some of them died.

In this case, it is impossible to expect them to achieve a higher loss ratio.

This can be seen from the number of corpses on both sides. Konoha obviously suffered more casualties.

It can be said that the fact that they have not collapsed yet is enough to surprise Qingming.

After carefully observing for a while and making sure that they can hold on for a short time, Qingming retracted his gaze and cast the "Guardian Seal" again to seal the white eyes at the center of his eyebrows.

In this operation, both the side they supported and the side being supported have ninjas from the Hyuga clan. For the sake of safety, Qingming does not intend to use the white eyes.

So, it is better to seal it.

After doing this, he immediately turned around and flew back the way he came.

A few minutes later.

Feeling that it was almost done, Qingming stopped flying.

Then, stuck at the extreme distance, he cast the "heart-to-heart technique" and connected with the teammates who were on the way behind.

Qingming quickly told them what he saw, and after asking them to be ready, he turned around again and flew to the battlefield.

Next, he needed to hold on for a while and wait for his teammates to arrive.

As for the Vulpix farther away,

Qingming looked up and he could feel that the breath of the Vulpix was there.

But, so what?

His mission was to assist, not to attack, so why was he in such a hurry? He should solve the problem here first.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming flapped his wings, accelerated again, and rushed to the battlefield.
