A few days later. Konoha. Root's headquarters base. In Danzo's office. A Root ninja knelt on one knee and said, "Sir, the news has been confirmed. Two days ago, Uchiha Qingming and Uchiha Shisui had arrived at the front-line camp. The Weeping Rain Squad's mission failed." As he spoke, he handed a mission report to Danzo. Danzo took the report, glanced at it quickly, and threw it on the ground, scolding, "Waste! What a bunch of waste!" In order to carry out this mission smoothly, he used a spy who had been lurking for a long time. Even half a month in advance, he started to lay out the plan and leaked the intelligence of some support teams in the village to the Hidden Rock Village in exchange for the other party's trust. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, his men actually dropped the chain.
'And that group of Rock Ninjas are also wastes. They can't even seize such a good opportunity. They are really wastes! ' The more he thought about it, the angrier Danzo became, and finally he hammered the table hard. Bang~ A huge sound came from the front. The Root Ninja remained in a half-kneeling position without any reaction. It was not until Danzo regained his composure that he said, "Sir, do you want to continue to send people to assassinate?" Hearing this, Danzo thought for a long time, and finally said, "Forget it, ignore them for the time being. Recently, the Hidden Cloud Village is gathering troops, and it seems that there is something big going on. Your first priority now is to keep an eye on them." "Yes, sir!" The Root Ninja below responded. Qingming didn't know that he had escaped a crisis unknowingly. And when Danzo set his sights on him again, he was no longer the Chunin who could be solved by sending a few people at random. ······ Time flew by, and it was early September. Twenty days had passed since he left the village, and half a month had passed since he arrived at the front line. In this half month, Qingming carried out a patrol mission and a reinforcement mission, and basically did not encounter too much danger. Therefore, he had never fallen behind in his practice. And after these days of hard practice, his several skills have improved significantly. The first is the ‘Instant Body Technique’, whose level has been directly upgraded from lv3 (870/1000) to lv4 (0/0), which is the perfect state. At this time, if he wants to perform the ‘Instant Body Technique’ again, he only needs to make a simple “Wei” seal.
Moreover, after performing the technique, the maximum speed is about 30% faster than that at lv3. In this case, if he launches a surprise attack on an ordinary Chunin, unless the opponent is particularly vigilant, he will not be able to react at all. In other words, he now has the ability to kill some Chunins in seconds. The second is the ‘Genjutsu Sharingan’, which has been upgraded from lv2 (420/500) to lv3 (120/1000) after these days of training. Just like the upgrade from lv1 to lv2, this upgrade still improves the casting speed and the power of the illusion. This gives Qingming more opportunities to perform it in battle, which is a not-so-small improvement. There are also the ‘Konoha-style swordsmanship’ and ‘Uchiha-style swordsmanship’. Because there was no way to practice during the days of traveling, the progress was a little slower than expected. Nevertheless, they have also reached the edge of promotion, with the former’s proficiency reaching lv4 (1910/2000) and the latter’s Lv4 (1750/2000). Qingming estimates that they will be able to upgrade in about a week. At that time, he can try to merge these two swordsmanship. In addition, their upgrades will most likely lead to an improvement in his ‘physique’ attribute. And this will undoubtedly increase the amount of chakra he can use every day in the future. In this way, he can use more chakra in the practice of ‘Reflection of the Heart Technique’, and then promote the faster evolution of the Sharingan. Speaking of the evolution of the Sharingan, we have to mention the ‘Chakra Absorption Technique’. After half a month of resource tilting, its level has been upgraded from lv1 (1/200) to lv2 (105/500) by him. At this time, if he casts it again, he can extract 200 chakra points from the enemy per second and convert 60% of it into his chakra. Using this technique, he has extracted chakra from seven enemies in two missions in the past half month, and obtained a total of nearly 8,000 chakra points. All these chakras were used by him to practice the "Reflection Heart Technique", and he gained 48 points of proficiency, which increased the evolution of the Sharingan by an additional 16 points. However, this speed is still too slow. Qingming plans to find an opportunity to work alone after the two sword techniques are integrated to obtain more chakra, so as to accelerate the evolution of the Sharingan to the maximum extent. "Qingming, what are you thinking about, let's go!" The call of his teammates woke Qingming from his trance. He perfunctorily replied "Nothing", and then followed the team to the west of the base camp. Next, he will carry out a one-week patrol mission, mainly to prevent the infiltration of the Sand Ninja Team. That's right, it's the Sand Ninja. The Land of Rain is now basically divided into four parts. In addition to the Hidden Rain Village hiding in the central area, Konoha occupies a large area in the south, the northeast is the territory of the Hidden Rock Village, and the west is the Sand Ninja. Qingming did not forget his plan to seize the puppet secret technique and improve the level of "Chakra Control". After returning to the battlefield this time, he applied for it.
Now, after passing the approvals, he finally moved to the west of the base camp. Next, his mission will be concentrated here. In this way, the chance of obtaining the puppet secret technique will be greatly increased. However, before that, he still needs to get familiar with the opponent. After all, he has been fighting with the rock ninjas in the past few months. Now that he has switched, he naturally needs to get familiar with the fighting style of the sand ninjas. Because each ninja village is located in a different geographical environment, the choice of leaders is different, and the ninjas' fighting methods and fighting habits, and even chakra attributes have huge differences. Just like the Rock Village, because Ohnoki opened the door of the ninja school and set the admission standards and graduation requirements very low, the number of rock ninjas is almost the largest among the five major ninja villages. But similarly, the average combat power of the rock ninjas is also the worst among the five major ninja villages. In this way, if you want to give full play to their value, you have to work in groups of multiple people. Therefore, the rock ninjas are better at group combat. On the contrary, the Sand Village is located in the desert and lacks resources, so it can't train so many ninjas at all. Therefore, the number of Sand Ninjas is almost the smallest among the five major ninja villages. But correspondingly, fewer people also means more concentrated resources, so the ninjas trained by the Sand Village are mostly elite. Compared with group combat, they are better at fighting alone. To deal with these different types of ninjas, different strategies must be adopted. And this is what Qingming said about familiar opponents. Time passed by minute by minute. It was getting dark. Qingming and others finally arrived at the target location. After completing the handover with the ninjas stationed here, they officially started their patrol mission.
