Chapter 580 Counterattack

Swaying and swaying, in the blink of an eye, another half a month has passed.

The battlefield here is as ‘calm’ as ever, until

the arrival of the first batch of Konoha’s support troops!

That’s right, after more than 20 days of dispatch, the first batch of support troops drawn by Konoha from the battlefield of the Rain Country finally arrived at the battlefield here.

And the village also issued the latest instructions.

Black Stone Stronghold.

In the meeting room.

Sano Nobuhisa looked at everyone with a serious expression and said: "The latest order from the headquarters."

Hearing this, everyone sat up straight and pricked up their ears to listen.

Then Sano Nobuhisa continued: "From now on, all strongholds will switch from defense to offense. It is imperative to drive the Mist Ninja out of the Fire Country in the shortest possible time and take back our land."

"Counterattack?"

When everyone heard this, their faces were both excited and worried.

Excited because the village finally started to counterattack. Originally, they were concentrated in this stronghold, and their primary purpose was to take back Feiyu Town.

However, because of the unreasonable sudden increase in troops from the Kirigakure, this plan completely failed, and they even became the defensive party.

Now, they can finally hold their heads high.

However, this is also a point of concern for them, because counterattack means breaking the deadlock.

In the past period of time, the reason why the battlefield here has been able to maintain such a strange "calmness" is mainly because they have not done anything radical.

But once they decide to take back Feiyu Town, it will inevitably stimulate the Kirigakure.

At that time, it is hard to say what will happen.

If Kirigakure remains in its current state and is gradually eroded by them, it is still okay, but if they fight to the death, then sacrifice is inevitable.

It is for this reason that everyone's faces are a little worried.

But in general, everyone is still happy.

There is no other reason, this war is finally coming to an end.

In the past two or three years, Konoha's main opponents are three-Sagakure Village, Iwagakure Village and Kirigakure Village.

Now, the first two have retreated, and only the last one is left. Once the Hidden Mist Village is also driven out of the territory of the Land of Fire, then the war can be declared over.

At that time, peace will come naturally.

As for some other battlefields, such as the war with the Hidden Cloud Village, these are not large in scale and have not affected the territory of the Land of Fire, so... it doesn't matter!

Qingming took in everyone's expressions and did not show any abnormality, as if these things had nothing to do with him.

In fact, it was true.

Here, he was just a shadow clone.

From a long time ago, his original body rarely appeared in the base. Every day he was either practicing or on the way to practice. He had no extra thoughts to pay attention to the things here.

However, that was in the past, not now.

After the meeting, when the shadow clone conveyed the content of the meeting to Qingming, he immediately became very energetic.

There is no doubt that he will participate in this counterattack. This is not only Sano Nobuhisa's request, but also his idea.

Five days ago, his 'Water Style: Water Break Wave' was successfully promoted to the perfect state of lv7 (0/0). The 30,000 chakra points saved were evenly distributed to 'Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique' and 'Chakra Feather Robe' according to the plan.

This increased the proficiency points they could obtain every day from 200 and 300 points to 300 and 450 points.

And this was almost all the chakra he could draw in a short period of time.

This improvement speed was not slow compared to other skills, but Qingming was still not satisfied.

Not to mention the former, which was an A-level ninjutsu with an upper limit of lv9. The proficiency required was very huge, and only 300 points per day was not enough.

As for the latter, after his continuous improvement, especially after close contact with the six-tailed beast, he had a clearer understanding of the tailed beast coat, and its potential had already reached the level of A-level ninjutsu.

In other words, it also needed a large amount of chakra to reach the perfect state.

In this way, the daily investment of 90,000 chakra points is a little less.

At this time, the quickest way is naturally to find extra money.

There is no doubt that the next counterattack is an opportunity.

As long as he can plunder enough chakra during this period, these two skills can definitely be greatly improved.

Thinking of this in his heart, Qingming left a few shadow clones to continue practicing, and he flew to the direction of the Black Stone Stronghold, ready to participate in this counterattack.

······

In a flash, time came to five days later.

In a dense forest not far from Feiyu Town, south of the Black Stone Stronghold, Qingming took his palm away from a special ninja of the Mist Hidden Ninja.

Plop~

His body fell heavily to the ground, and all the chakra, spiritual energy, and physical energy in his body were drained by Qingming.

And near him, there were several Mist Ninjas in the same situation.

Qingming raised his hand and cast a ninjutsu on their bodies - Fire Style: Sushoku!

Bang~bang~bang~

Balls of flames appeared and spread rapidly, enveloping their bodies and eventually burning them to ashes.

After doing all this, Qingming turned his head and looked somewhere in the forest, saying calmly: "Since you are here, come out!"

Tap tap tap~

A subtle sound of footsteps came.

A figure walked out from behind the tree, wearing a black robe and a mask on his head. There were four zigzag lines on the mask, which was the symbol of the Hidden Mist Village.

Obviously, this is a Kirigakure ANBU ninja.

Qingming carefully felt the other person's breath, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, "Is it you?"

"Hmm?"

Hearing Qingming's words, Hoshigaki Kisame's expression under the mask changed slightly, and then he said calmly, "Do you know me?"

Yes, this Kirigakure ANBU is none other than the tailless tailed beast that he had met once before - Hoshigaki Kisame.

Obviously, his crazy hunting in the past few days has attracted the attention of Kirigakure Village, so they sent such an ANBU elite to investigate.

At this time, the other party undoubtedly wanted to trap him and try to get more information from him.

Unfortunately, Qingming didn't give him this opportunity at all.

Looking at the other party, Qingming shook his head, looking disappointed.

He originally thought that the other party was a real person, but he never thought that it was just a shadow clone.

That's right, the Hoshigaki Kisame in front of him is not his real body. Although he is very powerful, he is extremely cautious in doing things. Even if he found his trace, he did not approach rashly, but only sent out a shadow clone.

If Qingming had not seen him before and knew that his chakra amount was far beyond that of ordinary people, he might not have discovered this.

As for why he still extracted the chakra of several Mist Ninjas in the field after discovering him?

It's very simple, he doesn't care anymore.

This war is about to end, and now is the last chance. Naturally, he will extract as much as he can.

What's more, as time goes by, his body is getting closer and closer to the next transformation.

By then, the "physique" attribute will be improved, and the chakra that can be freely used will increase again, and his dependence on external chakra will be further reduced.

So, even if he is discovered, it doesn't matter. At worst, he will not absorb it in the future.
