Chapter 578 Thoughts and Speculations

Pah, pah, pah~

After everyone got over their excitement, Nobuhisa Sano clapped his hands and said, "Okay, everyone, be quiet for a minute. I have something else to say!"

Hearing this, everyone quickly quieted down.

Looking at the meeting room that had returned to silence, the smile on Nobuhisa Sano's face gradually disappeared, and he began to become serious.

Seeing this, everyone immediately knew that what Nobuhisa Sano was going to say next was definitely not good news.

In fact, it was true.

He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "According to the news from the village, although we have reached a ceasefire agreement with Iwagakure Village, the formal signing of the contract will take a week."

"A week later?"

Hearing this news, everyone in the meeting room frowned.

Nothing else, Iwagakure Village's performance in this negotiation was too awkward. You either simply don't agree to a ceasefire, and then both sides continue to fight, or you just settle the matter.

What was the result?

Not to mention the four rounds of negotiations that lasted for 20 days, the ceasefire has been decided, and the signing of the agreement has been postponed to a week later. Isn't this just a case of more trouble than trouble?

No one present could think of the reason why the Hidden Rock Village did this, but Qingming could guess one or two. It was nothing more than the strong opposition in the Hidden Rock Village, so Ohnoki had to compromise.

Admittedly, Ohnoki had a position of final say in the Hidden Rock Village and a high prestige, but for such an issue involving the interests of all parties, he could only try his best to balance it.

But Konoha couldn't let him delay it indefinitely.

Therefore, this week and the previous ten days were probably the product of a compromise between him, the opposition in the village, and Konoha.

Uh.

Perhaps the radicals in Konoha Village should also be added.

In the memory of the previous life, Danzo didn't seem to want to stop the war. At the end of the war, he led the Root Ninja to pretend to be ninjas from other villages and stir up trouble in the powder keg of the Rain Country.

Even the first generation leader of Akatsuki, Yahiko, died under his conspiracy.

Wait~

Qingming suddenly realized that this seemed to be an opportunity.

Since he was going to join forces with Hanzo to attack Akatsuki, he would definitely appear in the territory of the Land of Rain.

And as long as he kept an eye on the movements of the Hidden Rain Village and combined with the actions of Akatsuki, it should not be difficult to find the other party.

By then, with his strength, it would be no problem to deal with the other party.

When he thought of this, Qingming's heart was pounding, but he still forced himself to calm down and began to think about the risks.

After a long time, he gave up.

It's not that he was afraid of the strength of Hanzo and Nagato.

Admittedly, Hanzo at this time was not as suspicious as he was later, and still had a heroic posture, but his strength was just like that. Qingming was confident that even if he was defeated, his life would not be in danger.

As for Nagato,

At this stage, he still lived under the "protection" of Yahiko and had not deeply developed the ability of the Samsara Eye, so Qingming was not very worried.

Then why did he give up this opportunity?

The reason is very simple, that is, this conflict between the Akatsuki organization and the Hidden Rain Village has received too much attention. Both Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu are silently paying attention to this matter.

At this stage, Qingming does not want to expose his abnormality to these two people.

So, he can only give up this opportunity for the time being.

"Alas, what a pity"

With a sigh, Qingming retracted his thoughts and focused on the one-week buffer period mentioned by Sano Nobuhisa.

There is no doubt that this is the time that Ohnoki left for the radicals in the village.

During this period, these people will definitely make trouble.

If Konoha can settle the troubles they bring, then the opposition voices in the Hidden Rain Village will naturally decrease, and the peace agreement between the two sides will naturally be signed as usual.

But if Konoha reveals or is forced to reveal any flaws, then I'm sorry, Ohnoki will definitely overturn the previous negotiation results.

At that time, the peace agreement will naturally not be signed smoothly.

At least, the Hidden Rain Village will definitely occupy more interests.

Therefore, the next week is very important, and Konoha must be careful and vigilant.

It's not just the battlefield of Rain Country facing Iwagakure Village, but also their side.

The people of Iwagakure Village definitely don't mind using the hands of Kirigakure Village to make things difficult for them.

After all, that's what they did last time.

It's just unclear whether Kirigakure Village will go with the flow this time?

You know, in the past half month, the full-scale attack launched by them has certainly caused great losses to Konoha, but similarly, their losses are also not small.

In this case, Qingming is not sure whether Kirigakure Village still has the courage to continue this war?

So, we need to wait and see.

While Qingming was thinking in his heart, Sano Nobuhisa's voice came again: "In the next period of time, please be sure to strengthen your vigilance and don't give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it."

Obviously, what he can think of, the village leaders can also think of.

No, they have given them the latest instructions.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, then nodded in unison and said yes.

Soon, the meeting ended.

After walking out of the meeting room, Qing Ming did not linger for long. He found an open space and immediately performed the "Wind Escape: Wind Wings", flew into the sky, and flew outside the stronghold.

After leaving the sight of the crowd, he split several shadow clones to perform tasks for himself, then left the battlefield, found a place with few people, and started today's practice.

······

In a flash, time came to five days later.

At noon that day.

In a jungle with few people.

Qingming stopped using the "Palm Immortal Technique" to strengthen his body, glanced at the shadow clones around him, and with a thought, he lifted the "Shadow Clone Technique".

Bang bang bang~

Accompanied by the explosion of chakra smoke, these shadow clones all returned to Qingming's body, carrying the practice experience and memory of the past hour.

Qingming closed his eyes and began to carefully digest these practice experiences and memories, and transformed them into the proficiency of corresponding skills.

Time passed by minute by minute.

About a quarter of an hour later, Qingming opened his eyes again.

Then, a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.

After thinking for a while, Qingming raised his hand and formed a seal, and in the blink of an eye, he performed the ninjutsu - Earth Style: Earth Flowing Wall!

Ignoring the rapidly rising earth wall in front of him, Qingming carefully felt the extremely smooth feeling when he just performed the ninjutsu.

That's right, it was the performance of practicing a ninjutsu to perfection.

With a thought, Qingming opened the proficiency panel.

Just as he thought, after more than a week of practice, his 'Earth Style: Earth Flowing Wall' finally advanced first, from lv6 (7700/10000) to lv7 (0/0) of perfection.
