Chapter 168 Spying and Reporting
at the same time.
Under the night.
Not far from the town, a strange insect suddenly emerged from the ground.
It is two meters long, has three pairs of pointed legs, is covered with scales all over its body, and has a pair of ochre eyes that appear extremely spiritual.
I saw it look around, then opened its mouth and spit out a human figure.
After the newcomer appeared, he also looked around vigilantly. After confirming that it was safe, he touched the insect's head and said, "Well done, Chica!"
The bug rubbed his palm with enjoyment, then lay on the ground, quietly waiting for Ohara Hideji's order.
That's right, this person is none other than Hideji Ohara.
This strange insect named Chica is his psychic beast. It not only has the ability to hide its breath, but also has an alternate dimension inside its body.
Hideji Ohara was hiding in this different dimension, and with the help of Chica's ability to hide his breath, he was able to follow Qingming without being discovered by him.
That's right, ever since the battle the day before yesterday, he has been following Qingming, monitoring his every move from underground.
The prying eyes that Qingming occasionally sensed came from him.
As for why, the Iwagakure Village still didn't surround them?
The answer is simple. Hideji Ohara did not give the relevant information to these Iwagakure ninjas at all.
It's not that Hideji Ohara intends to kill Qingming single-handedly, but he believes that these Iwagakure ninjas are not enough to stop Qingming and others at the moment.
In this case, handing the intelligence to them would be meaningless except for increasing his risk of being exposed.
But things are different now.
Not long ago, he received news that an elite team sent by the village had arrived at the battlefield.
As far as he knew, this team wasn't large in number, but their strength consisted of at least special jonin with special skills, and their leader was an elite jonin known as the "Steam Ninja" - Han.
Moreover, he is not just an ordinary ninja. The terrifying beast of disaster, the Five-Tails, is sealed in his body!
Therefore, after receiving this news, he passed the intelligence he had on to them.
Judging from the time, they should be able to arrive tomorrow morning.
With this thought in mind, Ohara Hideji looked towards the town not far away, as if he had seen the blue sky through many obstacles, and murmured, "It's almost there, it's almost there."
After saying that, he gently patted the head of the bug next to him and said, "Chica, let's go!"
Upon hearing this, the strange insect named Chica shook its body, then raised its head, sucked towards Hideji Ohara, and swallowed him into its stomach.
Then, it poked the ground with its two front pointed feet, and the earth seemed to soften and swallowed it up.
After a while, the earth returned to normal, without leaving any trace.
······
In a flash, it was the next morning.
As soon as the sky was getting light, all the Konoha ninjas in the town woke up.
They simply took care of their personal hygiene and then casually swallowed a few ration pills to replenish their nutrition and physical strength.
Afterwards, under the leadership of a group of senior ninjas, they rushed towards the predetermined target.
Qing Ming walked in front of the team, protecting Hinata Linghuo, with his Sharingan open throughout, his eyes looking around with an indescribably serious expression.
Hinata Linghuo looked at him several times, and finally couldn't help asking: "Qingming, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so careful?!"
Upon hearing this, Qing Ming glanced at him and saw the long-lost ease on his face.
Not only him, but all the surviving ninjas in the team were more relaxed than in the previous two days.
Obviously, the mission was completed and they were about to reunite with friendly forces, which made them feel a little relaxed.
"That won't do!"
Qingming's footsteps suddenly paused.
Seeing this, Hinata Linghuo thought he had discovered something, and quickly looked around vigilantly, while asking in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"oh!"
Qing Ming was awakened by the other party's question and replied perfunctorily: "Nothing."
Without waiting for him to continue asking, he said again: "Please take care of yourself. I have something to talk to the Nara Jonin. I will leave for a while."
Hearing this, Hinata Linghuo didn't understand, but still nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, go ahead!"
After all, he is a special jonin and does not need to be protected all the time.
The reason why Qingming walked with him was just to be on the safe side.
Several other Hyuga ninjas were also accompanied by members of the combat team.
Hearing the other party's words, Qing Ming simply responded and was about to turn around and leave, but after thinking about it, he still warned: "Ling Huo, be careful, I feel that today will not be so smooth."
After saying this, he left with a 'Telekinesis Technique' without caring about the other party's reaction.
Hearing this, Hinata Linghuo paused for a moment and frowned, "It won't be that smooth. What does that mean? Could it be that there are still enemies? That doesn't make sense!"
As Hinata Linghuo was thinking, he suddenly remembered Qingming's abnormality today, and thought to himself that the other party might have really discovered something.
As soon as he thought of this, he looked at the dense forest around him and felt a sense of fear for some unknown reason.
"Rolling eyes~"
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Hinata Linghuo opened his Byakugan, and blue veins appeared on both sides of his eyes, making him look extremely terrifying.
But Hinata Linghuo was used to it. He used the perspective ability of his Byakugan to quickly scan the surroundings.
However, apart from Qingming who was leaving and a few other tribesmen who were exploring the way and their teammates, there was no one else within a kilometer radius.
After confirming this, Hinata Linghuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
but
Thinking of Qingming's cautious look, he finally put away his previous relaxed attitude and started to work on exploring the way seriously again.
······
at the same time.
About twenty or thirty kilometers away from Qingming and his group, a seven-member team from the Hidden Rock Village was moving forward rapidly.
Suddenly, a loud eagle cry was heard.
Suddenly, all seven of them stopped and looked up at the sky.
I saw an eagle flying from the horizon, circling twice in the sky, then suddenly falling, and finally landing steadily on the raised arm of one of the people.
The man first stroked the feathers on the eagle's back, and then took out a rolled-up note from the mailbox in its leg.
Opening the note, the man looked at the numbers on it, quickly compared them with the code book in his mind, and translated them into text.
"What does it say?"
When he finished reading, another Iwa Ninja asked.
Hearing this, the Rock Ninja rubbed his fingers together, and a flame appeared, burning the paper into ashes.
After the ashes scattered, he said slowly: "Ohara Jonin just sent us information that those people from Konoha have left the town.
The command center judged based on their route that they were preparing to join forces with the Konoha troops that broke through the Tiger Mountain Camp yesterday."
"So, should we block them on the road, or go directly to the Tiger Mountain Camp and wait for them to fall into our trap?"
One of the Iwa Ninja asked immediately after hearing what he said.
