Chapter 131 Tracking
One day later.
evening.
Somewhere in the forest, two teams from the Iwagakure Village and the Kumogakure Village were fighting.
Soon, there were only five people left on the field, three Iwagakure ninjas and two Kumogakure ninjas. The Iwagakure ninjas were in slightly worse condition, while the Kumogakure ninjas were in slightly better condition.
Just as they were confronting each other, three figures suddenly appeared on the scene. These people were wearing black robes and masks, and it was impossible to tell which force the ninjas belonged to.
Immediately, all the Rock Ninja and Cloud Ninja present became alert.
But there was no use being vigilant. The moment these three people appeared, without any unnecessary words, they silently attacked the five people on the field.
The three men cooperated well with each other, had superb swordsmanship, and relied on their agility. They never engaged in head-on confrontations, and in just a short while, they knocked down two men.
Seeing this, the three people who were still standing couldn't help but retreat.
However, before they could put their plan into practice, they saw the black-robed man who was fighting with them suddenly distanced himself from them, forming seals with his hands, as if he was about to perform some ninjutsu.
The three of them did not dare to be careless and immediately used ninjutsu to counter.
They were being suppressed and beaten just now, and had no chance to perform ninjutsu. Now that the opponent has taken the initiative to distance themselves from them, it is a good opportunity for them to disrupt the situation.
However, just as they raised their arms, they saw that the eyes of the three black-robed men under their masks suddenly turned from black to blood red.
And on the blood-red pupils, there are three black magatama.
"Sharingan?!"
The three of them were shocked and wanted to look away immediately, but it was too late.
The next moment, the three of them felt a sharp pain, as if their bodies were pierced by several huge iron nails, and they were unable to move.
Obviously, they were caught in the Uchiha clan's unique illusion - the Magical Shackle Technique!
"Are you ninjas from the Uchiha clan? Why are you attacking us?"
A Cloud Ninja asked, enduring the severe pain.
However, the three men in black robes completely ignored him.
After controlling the situation, they flashed and appeared behind the three people, and then knocked them out with a few "bangs".
Not only them, the two Rock Ninjas who were knocked down earlier were also quickly knocked unconscious.
After doing all this, the three black-robed people returned to their original appearance, and they were Qingming's shadow clones.
No, there were not just three people. There was also a shadow clone of Qingming standing quietly on the tree branch.
The other party had been hiding there from the beginning to the end, using his Sharingan to observe the actions of the Cloud Ninja and Rock Ninja on the battlefield, guarding against any possible accidents.
Whoosh~
The shadow clone standing on the tree branch used a "telekinesis" and appeared directly in the field.
He looked at the other three Qingming clones and said, "Clean up the battlefield as soon as possible. Someone should have already rushed here. We must hurry."
"Um."
The three shadow clones didn't waste any words, just nodded, and then quickly cleaned up the battlefield.
Their movements were very skilled and it was obvious that they had done this many times.
In fact, this is indeed the case. The original task given to them by Qing Ming was to search for suitable targets, and then he would capture them personally.
But after several captures, the number of prisoners in his hands increased, the amount of chakra available each day increased dramatically, and the time required for training was extended accordingly.
Gradually, I had no hands free.
Qing Ming simply let these shadow clones do it themselves.
These shadow clones inherited his memories, and their combat experience and skills are not inferior at all.
In addition, he is an agile person and seldom fights head-on with others, so he doesn't have to worry about the shadow clone's ability to withstand damage.
In this way, with the cooperation of the four shadow clones, the mission went very smoothly.
A few minutes later.
The battlefield has been cleaned up.
The four shadow clones erased their own traces, grabbed the three unconscious Rock Ninjas and two Cloud Ninjas on the ground, and quickly left the place.
What they didn't know was that not long after they left, a Jōnin from Iwagakure arrived here. He looked at the familiar 'clean' battlefield and frowned slightly.
Qing Ming's unscrupulous arrest operations eventually aroused the suspicion of the Iwagakure Village, and this special Jonin came specifically to investigate the matter.
He surveyed the scene and found nothing suspicious.
So, he bit his thumb, and then quickly formed the five seals of 'Hai - Xu - You - Shen - Wei', slapped the ground, and using the blood as a guide, he performed the ninjutsu - the summoning technique!
The next moment, dozens of palm-sized mice appeared in the field. They were pitch black, with smooth fur and shiny black eyes, and looked extremely lively.
The Iwagakure jonin squatted down, picked up one of them, placed it in his palm, and said, "Xiao Qi, smell the scent of several people around."
The mouse called Xiaoqi shrugged its nose hard and squeaked a few times.
The Iwagakure jonin seemed to understand. He glanced at the bodies around him, counted them, and said, "Can you smell which direction they went?"
"Squeak~"
Xiao Qi barked a few times, stretched out his front paws, and pointed in a direction, which was the direction where Qing Ming's four shadow clones left.
Seeing this, the Iwagakure jonin said happily: "Xiao Qi, well done! Here, give it to you."
As he spoke, he took out a few peanuts from his pocket and handed them to the mouse in his palm.
The mouse was very happy and finished the peanuts in no time.
At this time, the Iwagakure jonin said, "Xiao Qi, you lead the way in front and follow those smells to see if you can find them."
"Squeak~"
Xiao Qi shouted a few times, then ran forward with a group of his younger brothers.
The Iwagakure jonin followed them carefully.
······
at the same time.
In a hidden cave.
Qingming drained the chakra of the last Cloud Ninja, and when he saw that his own chakra had not yet reached full state, he extracted some of his spiritual energy and physical energy, transformed it into chakra, and replenished it into his body.
Only then did Qing Ming nod with satisfaction, and then began to perform the "Reflection Heart Technique" to promote the evolution of the Sharingan.
An hour later.
Qingming stopped casting spells.
At this time, the chakra in his body has been reduced to half of its peak state, and the proficiency of the "Reflection Heart Technique" has reached level 6 (9895/10000).
Apparently, after more than a day of hard work, his 'Art of Reflecting the Heart' was one step closer to level 7.
Qingming didn't want to waste time, so he checked the conditions of several Cloud Ninjas and Rock Ninjas in the cave. After confirming that they would not wake up in a short time, he got up and left the cave.
Then, after identifying the direction, he ran towards another hidden cave.
When he was training just now, the shadow clone had sent back his memories - there, they had prepared three more Rock Ninjas and two Cloud Ninjas for him.
The reason why they were not allowed to send the prisoners over was mainly for safety reasons.
Qingming knew how crazy what he was doing was. If he was targeted by the top leaders of Iwagakure and Kumogakure and the prisoners were imprisoned separately, the whole army would not be wiped out.
