It was late at night.
Boom~
Suddenly, an explosion came from a distance, waking Qingming from his sleep.
In just a moment, his eyes changed from confusion to sharp.
Without much hesitation, Qingming grabbed the ninja bag and forehead protector beside him, turned over and sat up, and when he got out of the tent, he was already fully armed.
There were several people walking out with him, including their leader teacher, Gu Chuan.
He walked to Gu Chuan's side in two or three steps, followed his gaze and looked into the distance, and vaguely heard some fighting sounds there.
Obviously, something went wrong.
The patrol and defense mission of this area is the responsibility of two teams, one of which is responsible for the daytime and the other for the night.
The first team where their 17th class is located is patrolling during the day, and the second team that takes over from them is at night.
There is no doubt that it is the second team that is fighting against the unknown enemy.
The second team has four teams, two of which are the same as their class, consisting of one jonin and three genin.
The remaining two teams are each composed of a special jonin and three chunins.
In this way, including the jonin-level squad leader, the second team has a total of 17 people, including three jonin, two special jonin, and six chunins and genins.
This is almost the same as their first team.
Now, Qingming only hopes that the enemy accidentally revealed their whereabouts and was caught by a team of the second team, and a battle had to take place.
Otherwise, it would be a big trouble. Because that means that the enemy's overall combat power will not be lower than theirs, and the mission is no longer the previous lurking and infiltration, but a surprise attack.
In this way, both sides are bound to fight to the death. While Qingming was thinking, the first team was assembled.
At the same time, fighting sounds were heard from the other two directions in the forest. Well, no need to guess. This is 100% not lurking and infiltration.
Who would organize multiple troops for lurking and infiltration at the same time, so that it would be difficult to evacuate if they were discovered.
Seeing that they didn't care about the disclosure of their whereabouts, it was obvious that they were preparing for a surprise attack.
But Qingming didn't understand, what was the point of the enemy's raid?
This is just a temporary station, and there are no important facilities. Even if it is taken down, it seems to have no value.
What's more, this place is not too far from the Konoha base camp. As long as they send the intelligence back in time, the base camp can provide support at any time.
In other words, the enemy can't hold it at all . There is even the risk of being surrounded.
Why would the enemy do such a thing where the risks and benefits are completely unequal?
Destroy Konoha's living force?
Please!
There are only a few people here, and there are no famous ninjas. Even if they are all killed, how much impact can it have on Konoha? Borrowing the road? But borrowing the road should not make a fuss. The information is not equal.
For a moment, Qingming couldn't guess the enemy's thoughts, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
At this time, the captain of their first team, Nakajima Hiro, stood up.
This is a middle-aged jonin, and he gave orders as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Everyone!"
Everyone stood up immediately, waiting for his next order.
"First team."
"Here!" A thin jonin stood up with three genin.
Qingming knew that this man's name was Okura Seiya. He looked weak, but in fact he was extremely powerful and was not weaker than their team leader, Furukawa.
"Seiye, your team will stay in the camp." Nakajima Hiro ordered.
"Yes, Captain."
Okura Seiya did not object, and after responding, he retreated.
Nakajima Hiro looked at the others and said, "Second, third, and fourth teams!"
"Here!"
The captains of the three teams responded at the same time.
"You will follow me immediately to support the second team."
"Yes, Captain!"
Furukawa and others responded again.
Qingming did not quite understand this arrangement.
According to his idea, Okura Seiya was so strong that he should support the team. Staying here was a waste of talent.
Fortunately, Nakajima Hiro soon let him know the significance of this arrangement.
He only heard him say: "Seiye, summon your summoned beast now."
"Yes."
Okura Seiya nodded without any surprise, and then bit his thumb, and blood flowed down his palm.
As if he could not feel the pain, Okura Seiya quickly formed the five seals of 'Hai-Xu-You-Shen-Wei', used blood as a guide, performed the psychic technique, and summoned a night owl.
Then, he performed a ninjutsu that connected the night owl's vision with his own.
In this way, he would see what the night owl saw at the same time.
Although the connection distance was limited, it was undoubtedly a good means of reconnaissance.
At this point, Qingming understood what Nakajima Hiroshi meant.
The other party obviously intended to let this night owl act with them, and then transmit the information back in real time through the connection between it and Okura Seiya.
After that, Okura Seiya would contact the base camp, so that the base camp could understand the situation here.
By then, whether it was support or counter-encirclement, they could do it with a purpose.
Sure enough, Nakajima Hiroshi's next words confirmed his guess.
"Seiye, you will control the 'Owl' from now on, follow us secretly and pass the intelligence to the base camp at any time."
Upon hearing this, Okura Seiya nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
Flutter~
A sound of flapping wings came.
The night owl summoned by Okura Seiya flew into the sky and disappeared in the night sky in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Nakajima Hiro nodded, and then said to Qingming and others: "Let's go!"
After that, he took the lead and ran into the forest.
Qingming and others did not dare to delay and hurriedly chased after him.
What made Qingming feel relieved was that Nakajima Hiro did not blindly divide the troops, but took all of them to the nearest battlefield together.
Obviously, he planned to figure out the situation and then act according to the situation.
Qingming agreed with this.
The situation is unclear now, and rashly dividing the troops is undoubtedly a very dangerous move. If they are defeated one by one, it will be a lot of fun.
Fortunately, Nakajima Hiro was able to become the team leader. I am not a fool and did not make such a low-level mistake.
This calmed Qingming's uneasy heart a little.
······
Swish, swish, swish~
In the dense forest.
Qingming and others walked quickly, and were about to approach the battlefield. Nakajima Hiroshi in front suddenly raised his right arm and signaled everyone to stop.
Everyone stopped immediately and looked around vigilantly.
At some point, the chirping of insects and birds in the forest had stopped. In the silent night, there was only the rustling sound of the night wind blowing through the leaves.
The surroundings were terribly quiet!
Everyone held their breath and observed the surroundings, as if there were some ferocious insects and beasts lurking around, making people dare not breathe heavily.
