Chapter 94 Discovery

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Qing Ming has neither encountered enemies nor danger. Apart from routine patrols every day, he is seizing the time to practice.

The two swordsmanships that he cared about have made quite good progress, and their proficiency has increased a lot, especially the 'Konoha-style swordsmanship', which has almost reached a perfect state.

Now, Qing Ming just wants to complete the task quickly and then go back to continue his progress.

However, the development of things often does not follow people's subjective wishes.

Just when Qing Ming thought that today would be the same as the previous three days, calm and calm, he suddenly received a signal for help from a subordinate.

Yes, they are subordinates.

Since being promoted to chuunin, he is no longer a dispensable cannon fodder. Coupled with the bonus of being a famous member of the Uchiha clan, he will hold a certain position in almost every mission.

Just like this time, he was the captain of one of the patrol teams. He was in charge of three chunin, and the one who sent the signal was one of them.

By the time he and two others arrived, the man was already dead.

Suddenly, the three of them were very alert and looked around vigilantly. Qingming's Sharingan was activated with all its strength, always paying attention to the surrounding disturbances.

No wonder they were so nervous, the enemy's strength should not be underestimated.

From the time they discovered the signal to the time they rushed over, it took no more than a minute.

And being able to kill people in such a short period of time, no matter how it is done, will not be simple.

So, they have to be careful.

After a while, Qing Ming raised his right hand to signal that the surroundings were temporarily safe.

At this time, the other two people lowered their guard.

Qing Ming directly ordered: "Si Guang, check the body."

"Yes, Captain!"

Hearing this, a Konoha ninja stepped forward and began to carefully examine the bodies on the ground.

After a moment, he stood up and said with a serious expression: "Captain, the person who killed Cangmu was probably the puppet master of Sunagakure Village."

"Puppet Master?"

When Qing Ming heard this, he immediately became interested and motioned for him to continue.

Seeing this, Teramitsu immediately explained: "Captain, look, the wounds on Cangmu's body are very smooth. Although people can do it, it's not necessary."

Of course Qing Ming knew why it was unnecessary.

Because that is simply thankless. If you can kill someone with one knife, who would waste more energy and let the wound become like this?

Qing Ming nodded, indicating that he understood, and asked the other party to continue speaking.

Unlike when he first arrived, Teramitsu had already carried out several missions here and had interacted with Suna Ninja more than once. His understanding of them must be deeper than that of a newcomer like him.

In this case, Qing Ming will naturally not act arbitrarily.

After receiving Qingming's signal, Teraguang continued: "Such injuries are usually only caused by the puppets of Sunagakure Village, and captain, look here."

As he spoke, Teraguang pointed to the skin on both sides of the wound on the corpse, and faint signs of blackening could be seen.

Teramiang said: "Toxins are spreading near these wounds, and the puppet masters of Sand Hidden Village like to quench poison on the weapons of the puppets.

Furthermore, there was no sign of anyone else nearby.

Therefore, I think the enemy is most likely a puppet master who lurks in secret and controls the puppet to attack Cangmu who is passing by. "

After listening to Si Guang's analysis, Qing Ming nodded, agreeing with his statement.

After thinking for a moment, he ordered: "Teraguang, you continue to search the outside. Although the other party can control the puppet, he probably won't hide too far away. Look carefully to see if you can find any traces of him."

"Okay, Captain!"

After responding, Teraguang went to work.

Then, Qing Ming looked at another subordinate who had never spoken, and said: "Yang Yi, you immediately notify several nearby teams and ask them to outflank them from the outside. The enemy must not be allowed to escape."

When Kamijou Yo heard Qingming's words, he didn't say much and just nodded silently.

Then, he bit the thumb of his right hand and let the blood flow down his palm. Then he raised his hands and quickly formed the five seals of 'Hai-Xu-You-Shen-Wei' and performed the psychic technique.

Bang~

As a cloud of chakra smoke dissipated, a psychic beast that looked like a parrot was summoned by him.

"Hey, Yoichi, why are you looking for me this time? I'm warning you, don't let me run away in vain this time. There is no best."

The parrot started chattering as soon as it appeared. It didn't stop talking until it saw Qingming's pair of scarlet sharingan eyes.

Kamijou Yoichi took the opportunity to tell the other party about the situation here, and then asked him to pass the information to several nearby teams.

As if he was afraid of making a mistake, Kamijou Yoichi took the trouble to repeat it several times.

However, the parrot just flapped its wings impatiently and said, "Okay, okay, stop talking, I've remembered it all."

After saying that, it glanced at Qing Ming weakly, then flapped its wings and flew high into the sky.

Looking at the parrot that was quickly moving away, Qing Ming couldn't help but wonder if he should also get a psychic beast.

However, it seems that psychic beasts with ordinary strength are of no use to him, and powerful ones are not something he can covet now.

Thinking about the situation where psychic beasts run away when they encounter danger, Qing Ming felt that it would be more convenient to wait for the evolution level of the Sharingan to increase and directly use illusion to control one.

At critical moments, it can also be used as a human shield.

Just when Qing Ming was thinking wildly, Si Guang's voice came again.

"Captain, we found something!"

Hearing this, Qingming used a ‘flash body technique’ and instantly appeared beside Teramitsu.

Looking at Qingming who suddenly appeared, Teramitsu thought to himself: “The captain’s ‘flash body technique’ is still so fast!”

“What did you find?”

Qingming didn’t care what Teramitsu thought, and immediately started asking after coming over.

Hearing Qingming’s question, Teramitsu gathered his mind, pointed to the bushes in front, and said: “Captain, look, this is a trace of someone staying for a long time.”

Qingming looked in the direction of his finger, and indeed saw some traces of flowers and plants being pressed, and also saw two shallow footprints underneath.

Thanks to the continuous rainy weather in the Rain Country, the flowers, trees and soil in the forest are relatively moist, which completely preserved such traces.

However

Qingming looked back and found that this place was nearly 20 meters away from the place where Kuraki died, and there was no obvious trace in between.

This means that the distance at which the enemy controlled the puppet was at least 20 meters.

And being able to flexibly control the puppet at such a long distance and kill Kuraki, a Chunin, in a short time is enough to show his strength.

Qingming could not help but be very alert again.

However, he did not give up.

Not to mention that as a member of the patrol team, his duty is to prevent the enemy from infiltrating the base camp. The identity of the other party's puppet master alone is worth his pursuit.

Qingming opened the panel and glanced at the lv3 (530/1000) "Chakra Control". He felt that if he could get the puppet secret technique in advance, it would be a good thing.

Originally, he planned to take it slowly.

But he never thought that after the shift, the first Sand Ninja he met was actually a puppet master, and it seemed that his level was not low.

Then he naturally had to seize the opportunity.

"Captain, there are more here."

Just as Qingming was thinking, Teramitsu's voice came again.

Qingming walked over quickly and found new traces.

After careful identification, it can be determined that it was left by the man who left just now.

In this case, Qingming no longer hesitated and immediately ordered Teramitsu and Kamijo Yoichi to continue searching forward.
