The sound of dull footsteps appeared in Ono Kamejiro's ears. He dragged his broken right leg, raised his head with difficulty, and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Then he saw Qingming walking towards him step by step.

A strong feeling of fear came over him, and Ono Kamejiro unconsciously moved back. He held a kunai tightly in his right hand, as if this could give him a little sense of security.

Qing Ming saw the other party's little movements, but he didn't want to waste time talking to this abandoned child. He flashed in front of him.

Before he could launch a final counterattack with the kunai in his hand, the moment the two looked at each other, he cast the 'Genjutsu Sharingan' and controlled the opponent.

Kicking the kunai out of the opponent's hand, Qing Ming immediately controlled the illusion to guide the opponent to recall all the information he needed.

After a moment, Qingming frowned slightly.

After a brief pause, he raised his hands, formed seals, and performed the 'Chakra Absorption Technique', draining the man's chakra in one breath.

After he completely lost his life, he came to another Kirigakure Chunin again, used the same 'Genjutsu: Sharingan' to control him, and then began to read his memory.

That’s right, Kamejiro Ono is not the only abandoned pawn left by Kirigakure.

In the battle just now, many Mist Ninjas were disabled or seriously injured by him.

Among these people, only a small number were taken away after Tomohiko Tanabe gave the order to retreat.

The rest basically stayed here.

Therefore, Qingming has enough channels to obtain intelligence and replenish chakra!
In terms of intelligence, these people belong to the same team, so they are basically the same.

As for the chakra, the amount of chakra from all these people added together is a little too much for his body to contain.

As a last resort, Qing Ming could only create several shadow clones. While on guard outside, he practiced a few skills that would not cause too much noise in order to consume excess chakra.

After Qing Ming had extracted the chakra of all the surviving Mist Ninjas, he began to sort out the information he had obtained from these people.

Originally, he thought that these people appeared here just to perform some routine tasks, and meeting them was purely accidental.

But from the memories of Ono Kamejiro and others, he knew that this was not an accident.

At least, it wasn't just an accident.

One of the reasons why these people appeared here was to intercept the senior ninjas who came to support them.

That’s right, Kirigakure knew about their support plan.

According to Kamejiro Ono's memory, he received an order from his superiors earlier today and followed several senior ninjas including Tomohiko Tanabe to set up an ambush here.

There were several other members of the brigade who received the same order as him, but they set up ambushes at different locations.

All this proves that there are definitely spies from the Hidden Mist Village in the front-line camp here.

The only thing that made Qingming feel fortunate was that their specific whereabouts were not known by the Mist Ninja.

In other words, these people met him and Uchiha Shisui by accident.

And this was just as he had guessed, these people were not deliberately targeting him and Uchiha Shisui, otherwise they would never have sent such a small number of people.

Look, they flipped over.

"Sure enough, at any time, one's own strength is the most important!"

Qing Ming muttered something, and stopped thinking about it, and waited for Uchiha Shisui with peace of mind.

According to the memories of Ono Kamejiro and others, Qingming knew the overall strength of the opponent's Kirigakure brigade.

Therefore, the number of people needed to deal with Uchiha Shisui can be easily calculated, and is basically the same as the number needed to deal with him.

And according to his understanding of Uchiha Shisui's strength, the other party might not be able to do it as cleanly and neatly as him, but he would not be in any danger either. At most, he would just have to spend a little more effort.

Therefore, there was no need for him to support the other party and he could just wait patiently.

Sure enough, about ten minutes later, Uchiha Shisui returned here.

Qing Ming looked at the other party, his breath was relatively stable, and there were no injuries on his body, which showed that he had won easily. On his side, because he had used the "Earth Style: Hardening Technique" to resist the opponent's attack at the beginning, his appearance was a little embarrassed, and his Konoha uniform had several large holes in it.

Fortunately, no blood was shed.

This made Uchiha Shisui feel a little relieved.

He looked at Qingming and said, "Qingming, do you have any additional discoveries?"

The reason why it is called an additional discovery is because he also learned the 'Genjutsu Sharingan'.

If you master the 'Genjutsu Sharingan' to level 4, you will be able to control the illusion more finely, guiding the target into certain memories, thus achieving an effect similar to memory reading.

And with Uchiha Shisui's talent, even without the assistance of the proficiency panel, his proficiency in just a 'Genjutsu·Sharingan' would definitely exceed level 4.

In other words, Uchiha Shisui can also obtain relevant information from the minds of these Mist Ninjas.

It’s just that Qingming’s level of ‘Illusion Sharingan’ is higher, and his pupil power is stronger, so he can get more information.

That's why he asked this question.

As for his question, Qing Ming did not think of hiding anything and directly told him the information he had obtained and some speculations.

After listening to Qingming's narration, Uchiha Shisui's face did not look very good.

Obviously, the other party also understood that it didn't matter whether these Mist Ninjas came for them or not.

What’s important is that it appears here.

This is enough to show how corrupt the situation here is.

Seeing that Uchiha Shisui was still in deep thought, Qingming said directly: "Okay, don't think so much, let's go!"

As he spoke, he released the 'Shadow Clone Technique' and began to quickly digest the training experience and memories that these shadow clones had just accumulated.

Uchiha Shisui glanced at the shadow clone that disappeared suddenly, didn't pay much attention to it, and after a simple response, he and Qingming continued to rush to the meeting place.

Because they had just been ambushed, the two were extremely careful on the rest of the way.

Admittedly, with the strength of the two and according to the intelligence about the strength of the team dispatched by the Mist Ninja this time, it is basically unlikely to pose a fatal threat to them, but the two still did not dare to be careless.

After all, these junior ninjas in the Hidden Mist are of too low a level and have limited knowledge. Who knows if the Hidden Mist Village will use these guys to set off smoke bombs and then outwit them?

When it comes to your own life, you can never be too cautious.

Fortunately, the worst thing did not happen.

The rest of the journey went very smoothly and the two did not encounter any form of danger.

Time passes minute by minute.

About an hour later.

The two left the dense forest.

After that, not long after they walked, they encountered a Konoha patrol team.

After checking their identities, the two successfully entered the Konoha defense zone.

After that, after several inspections, they finally arrived at the assembly point, which was the front-line camp of the southern defense line.

From here forward is the battlefield between the two sides.

Standing in the camp, Qingming could vaguely feel the movement coming from over there.

Obviously, the battlefield ahead is not very peaceful.
