Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and in this half a year, a lot has happened, and in general, the confrontation between the two groups has become more intense.

The whole continent is shrouded in the clouds of war, but the war is still not yet coming, because both sides are not fully ready, so both sides are refraining.

The Tsuki organization is doing things in the shadows.

Of all shapes and sizes.

And in the past half a year, Qingming has been doing the right thing: guiding the girls to practice.

Yes.

In addition to ninjutsu Qingming is not involved, physical arts, medical skills and even illusions, Qingming has guidance to the girls, of course, more importantly, it is immortal arts.

This is also known as the Immortal Mode.

It's not difficult.

At least for Qingming, it wasn't difficult, after all, he was a Taoist priest who dealt with natural energy all day long, and half a year ago, Bai had already succeeded.

And then there are them every day.

Well......

Maybe this is "forcibly opened", anyway, several little girls who are close to Qingming have learned the immortal mode, and their strength has made great progress.

But they are not the most powerful, even more powerful are Hinata Hanabi and Kurama Yakumo, one is favored by Qingming, and the other is Qingming's personal disciple.

So like Qingming, they became Taoist priests, and the chakra in their bodies was eliminated by Qingming and turned into pure natural energy, which can also be said to be spiritual power.

I also learned a lot of Taoism.

Yes.

Like Taoism like Qingming, what palm thunder and the like, Qingming taught a lot, including fortune-telling, exorcism and ghost-catching, talisman alchemy and others.

With Qingming's guidance, they take many detours, and the early progress is very fast, but it will gradually slow down in the future, after all, Qingming is still groping forward.

Refining and refining qi is only a stage of laying the foundation on the road of cultivation, even if it is Qingming, it is only just getting rid of the hat of "sprouting" and entering the second stage.

But even so, Qingqing's strength has already made many people in this world look up to him, and the strength of Hinata Hanabi and Kurama Yakumo is also amazing.

After all, the goal of cultivation is to "ascend to godhood", and ninja ......

Well.

Ninja is like a profession, and if it weren't for the constant war, maybe few people would choose to become a ninja.

Yes.

At least that's what Qingming thinks.

Merely......

"At least now ninja is a respected and feared profession, and this is always the case for soldiers in troubled times, and when the war subsides, it may not be!"

Some people always wait until they are needed to be remembered and respected.

……

The Land of the Wind.

The current Shayin Village can be said to be the best of the best, deployed near the border line, on the one hand, for defense, and on the other hand, to facilitate future attacks.

Border.

Sand Hidden Command.

"Your Excellency."

A middle ninja came in from the outside and reported the situation to a few upper ninjas who had gathered together, because some strange things had happened in the Sand Hidden Ninja Force in the past few days.

"After counting, it was found that more than a dozen ninjas were missing, and people have been sent to search."

Missing.

Yes, that's right, it's missing.

It's ridiculous.

Obviously, there was no battle yet, and the large army of Shayin was here, but those ninjas still disappeared silently, and no one noticed that something was wrong.

After counting, the number of people who have been confirmed missing has reached 74, and with some that cannot be confirmed for the time being, this number has to be increased.

"It's weird!"

The ninjas who heard the report all frowned, and their intuition told them that this matter was not simple, they were deserters? Or did the Iwakushi ninja on the other side make a move?

Not right either.

All came out of a village, and desertion is unlikely; It doesn't look like the Iwakushi ninjas did it, because they have to guard against Konoha and there are not enough of them.

Most of the Iwakuin ninjas were transferred to form a mixed force with the cloud and fog ninjas, and there were not many deployed on the border line, so they didn't dare to act without permission.

And to put it bluntly, there is a small country that serves as a buffer zone between the border between the two sides, and it is not easy to rush through without being discovered.

Unless it's one or two great machine masters.

"Someone."

"Yes."

"Pass the order, the whole army is under martial law, try not to go out if there is nothing to do, even if you go out, it is best not to act alone."

"Yes!"

"Dispatch the elite team and start a search with the upper ninja as the core."

"Yes!"

……

Konoha.

It's time for lunch.

Coffee shop.

The fifth generation Hokage Tsunade came here because there was an important thing to do, that is, about Shiro, and after half a year, Shiro was still in the village.

"It's not going to work."

As soon as I arrived here, I saw Qingming and Hinata Hanabi having lunch, and of course they were on the side of Satomigaoka Villa, obviously their strength was already very strong.

“？”

The boy and the little girl looked at her suspiciously, wondering why she just came here and said "no, no, no", could it be that she took the wrong medicine today?

Tsunade just frowned.

"So, it's time for that little girl to go, right? She's the commander of the battle against the fog, and if she doesn't go, the war will begin. ”

“……”

Qingming blinked, and still didn't seem to understand.

Long.

I remembered that half a year ago, it seemed that I had indeed said this, so I showed a sudden expression.

"Oh."

"Oh, you're big, why don't you hurry up and get her ready, is that your attitude towards war like that?"

"That's right."

Qingming nodded.

As a result, Tsunade could only clench his fists, not knowing what to say.

"Fireworks."

Qingming didn't bother to say anything, just looked at Hinata Hanabi and shouted.

"Yes."

Hinata Hanabi understood what he meant, and it was nothing more than asking her to call Shiro over, so she didn't say anything, nodded and stood up, and left directly.

Tsunade watched her walk out of the store, and then at Qingming, who was continuing to eat lunch, but it was nothing more than cakes and snacks.

And fruits.

"Can this be called lunch, too?"

"Hmm."

“……”

Looking at this boy who ate with relish, Tsunade could only sigh, this boy is different, and it is also difficult to get it, it is very tricky.

……

Night.

Frontier of the Fire Nation.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion suddenly sounded, breaking the calm here, and a patrol team of Konoha ninjas was attacked, quickly attracting the attention of others.

The other side.

"Come on, go and find out, others, enter combat readiness!"

"Yes!"

“……”

With an order, the Konoha ninja troops stationed here began to move, and at the same time sent a signal to send the surrounding patrol teams back towards the headquarters.

The sound of fires and explosions was heard in many places.

"Explosion?"

The distance was too far, and the sound from here was a little weak, and many ninjas didn't seem to be able to figure out the situation yet, so they directly pulled the ninjas who took action to ask.

"What's the situation?"

"God knows!"

The ninja who was pulled said that he didn't know the situation either, not only him, but many ninjas didn't know, but there was one thing they could be sure of.

"I think it's the Fourth Ninja World War that broke out!"

“！”

……

"Boom!"

Many patrol squads were attacked and caught off guard, with heavy casualties, but they were not weak, and many survived the attack.

"Damn, did Iwakure do it?"

"No!"

A conjecture was quickly dismissed, as the attackers had already rushed out, carrying kunai, and some people threw shurikens at them.

It's dark.

But the moon brought some light, and the explosion caused burning, barely able to see the opponent's forehead.

"They...... They're Sand Hide! ”

"Damn it!"

"Hurry up and report to the back, to Hokage-sama, that the sand has broken the covenant and attacked us again!"

"Yes!"
