"Qingming, have you really learned it?"
Gu Chuan did not reveal anything about Qingming's answer, but Liang Jie beside him could not keep calm.
Although he had long known that there was a certain gap between him and Qingming in learning ability, the young man's unyielding character still made him unwilling to fall behind.
Before, Gu Chuan did not avoid Qingming when he taught him the instant body technique.
Therefore, he followed him to learn.
In the past few days, he practiced hard and finally mastered some tricks. Maybe he could not use it in fierce battles, but it was no problem to perform it completely in normal times.
Although this cannot be regarded as having learned this technique, it is enough for Liang Jie to be proud of himself.
He thought that Qingming's progress would be similar to his, and even if he was ahead, he would only be ahead a little at most, but the fact was far from it.
After being a companion for several months, he had a certain understanding of Qingming's way of speaking and doing things - the other party might deliberately downplay his strength, but he would never exaggerate.
In other words, Qingming's true level must be far more than that.
Therefore, Ryosuke's mood was extremely complicated. He failed to catch up again.
For a while, he was full of negative energy.
Qingming was keenly aware of his emotional changes. Just thinking about it, he roughly guessed the reason.
However, he did not comfort him, because this was the fact.
Not wanting to continue to dwell on this issue, Qingming asked: "Where is Shizuko? Hasn't she come yet?"
You know, when gathering in the past, Shizuko Mizutani was the first to arrive.
And now.
Qingming looked at the time. It was almost the last time for the gathering, and the other party had not come yet.
This surprised Qingming.
"Did something happen?" Qingming thought.
"I don't know."
On the side, Ryosuke replied weakly.
While talking, he looked at the entrance of the village and happened to see Shizuko Mizutani who was rushing over.
So, he waved and shouted: "Shizuko, this way!"
Hearing his call, Shizuko Mizutani turned her head quickly, and after seeing them clearly, she forced a smile and walked over quickly.
"Shizuko, why are you here so late today? Is there something wrong?"
Ryosuke asked without waiting for Shizuko Mizutani to approach.
Hearing this, Shizuko Mizutani shook her head, forced a forced smile again, and said, "Nothing, I just got up late."
"Is that so?"
Ryosuke touched his chin and said seriously, "Then you should set an alarm clock, so you won't oversleep, just like me."
Looking at Ryosuke who was chattering, Qingming didn't know whether the other party was really careless or was deliberately relieving Shizuko Mizutani's pressure.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Shizuko Mizutani came here at this time, not because she had overslept.
The other party's red and swollen eyes showed that she had just cried not long ago.
In connection with the fact that they were about to go to the battlefield, it is not difficult to guess that this was left when they said goodbye to their families.
And this also made Qingming deeply realize that this is a real world.
Here, war is war, and death will not be taken for granted because of one or two slogans.
Ninjas are also human beings. They have their own feelings, families, friends and lives. Once they die, it will affect a large number of people.
Therefore, there are many people who fear war, but they are bound by a series of rules and concepts and can only be forced to accept it.
"Ah! This is really a twisted world!"
Qingming sighed and stopped thinking about it. He began to wait for the team to set off.
Time passed by. After the team was assembled, the third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, appeared in front of everyone.
After that, there was an impassioned speech.
It must be said that the other party's words were very inflammatory. After a speech, the young middle and lower ninjas were all excited by him and wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy immediately.
Even Mizutani Shizuko, who was in a bad mood, smiled a little after listening to the other party's words.
Only those jonins kept a serious face throughout the whole process, and seemed to have no reaction to his words.
However, think about it, who can become a jonin? Who didn't fight in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood? How can a few words shake their determination?
If you want to mobilize their enthusiasm, either bind them with actual interests or drive them with righteousness. Otherwise, why would they listen to you if you are empty-handed?
Just because you are the Hokage?
The Hokage is not elected by everyone!
Uh.
Maybe, probably!
Qingming shook his head and stopped thinking about it. These are still far away from him for the time being, and he is unwilling to participate in these things.
In the end, the ninja world is still a world where strength is respected. As long as you have enough strength, even if you don't know anything, you can speak with your fists.
If you don't like someone, just knock him down with one punch. Why think so much?
Therefore, improving strength is the kingly way.
A few minutes later.
After the speech, the team started to set off.
Qingming roughly counted that there were about thirty jonins, and there were another sixty or seventy special jonins accompanying them.
As for the chunins and genins, they added up to more than three hundred or nearly four hundred people.
Such a large team naturally couldn't move too fast.
Not to mention that there were dozens of supply trucks.
Therefore, it took them two weeks to walk out of the territory of the Land of Fire and enter the battlefield of the Land of Rain.
As soon as they entered the Land of Rain, they were greeted by continuous drizzle, and often they couldn't see the sun for three or two days.
Therefore, the team's marching speed was slower.
Nearly a week later.
They arrived at a canyon. After crossing this canyon and walking a few dozen miles forward, they were Konoha's base camp in the Land of Rain.
The destination of their trip was there, and these dozens of trucks of supplies were also sent there.
Qingming looked at the deep canyon in front of him, and his eyebrows jumped.
Such terrain, even a battlefield rookie like him, knew that it was very suitable for ambushes. Qingming didn't believe that those senior ninjas would not see it.
'Why go here? '
Qingming couldn't think of any other reason except that he had no choice.
In other words, Konoha's situation on the battlefield of the Rain Country was far less optimistic than he imagined, otherwise such a supply channel would not be retained.
Fortunately, Konoha's senior ninjas were not idle. Before entering the canyon, they slowed down the team.
At the same time, they sent out several teams to search for enemy ambushes in front and on the cliffs on both sides.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the team moved forward slowly.
Suddenly, a huge explosion sounded from the distant rock wall, and a ball of red flames could be vaguely seen rising.
"It's a detonating tag, there is an ambush!"
Someone in the team shouted, and the crowd suddenly became panicked.
Fortunately, the senior ninja spoke in time, which stopped the chaos.
