The next day.
Morning.
Qingming summoned Uchiha Tetsuhuo and handed him the letter he had written.
"This is?" Uchiha Tetsuhuo looked at the letter in his hand, his expression filled with confusion.
"This is a letter to Elder Huo Xuan. Please pass it to him for me," Qingming explained, meeting his questioning gaze.
"Huo Xuan? Hmm, got it!"
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tetsuhuo nodded in agreement.
Without asking what the letter contained, he bit his thumb, then quickly made a series of hand seals—'亥 (Hai)—戌 (Xu)—酉 (You)—申 (Shen)—未 (Wei)'—and, using his blood as a medium, activated the Summoning Jutsu.
Boom~
In an instant, a puff of chakra smoke spread out, and a small, chubby cat that resembled an orange tabby from Qingming's previous world appeared.
This was Uchiha Tetsuhuo's summoning beast—an adorable ninja cat.
"Meow~"
The cat yawned loudly as soon as it appeared, clearly having stayed up all night.
Uchiha Tetsuhuo paid no mind to the cat's antics and crouched down, looking at it. "Little Orange, I need you to do me a favor."
The cat looked up at him, and Tetsuhuo passed the letter over, saying, "Take this and give it to Elder Huo Xuan."
He then attempted to stuff the letter into the cat's mouth.
With a disgruntled roll of its eyes, the cat reluctantly opened its mouth, swallowed the letter, and disappeared without a trace.
Watching the cat vanish, Uchiha Tetsuhuo stood up and turned to Qingming. "Alright, Qingming. Little Orange will deliver the letter within a day."
"Mm."
Qingming nodded, and after a brief exchange, they each went on with their respective tasks.
To be precise, Uchiha Tetsuhuo was off to handle his responsibilities, while Qingming, after having breakfast, went into the forest behind the base to continue his training.
The Hidden Mist Village had been surprisingly quiet these past few days, so Qingming wanted to take full advantage of this time to train.
...
Two days later.
That evening.
In the forest.
Qingming concluded a day of training, dismissing all his shadow clones, and took a moment to assess the results of the last two days.
After the successful development of his flight technique, he had used all 7,000 chakra points he'd previously allocated to refining the technique, focusing solely on improving his mastery.
Now, after two days, his proficiency had risen from LV1 (70/200) to LV2 (35/500).
With the advancement to LV2, there were noticeable changes to his 'Wind Style: Wings of Wind'.
The most apparent change was the flight speed.
Compared to the LV1 version, his speed had doubled—from 10 meters per second to 20 meters per second, or 72 kilometers per hour.
Clearly, this was no longer considered slow.
The best part was that maintaining such a speed didn't cause a significant increase in chakra consumption.
If the previous speed of 36 km/h had been too costly, the 72 km/h speed was still acceptable.
After all, time is often more valuable than chakra.
Spending a little extra chakra to save half the time was a worthwhile trade-off.
Aside from this, Qingming also felt that his body was on the verge of another transformation.
After about forty days of strengthening, he had accumulated enough foundation. With three or four more days of effort, he would reach the critical point.
At that time, by activating his Mangekyō Sharingan and using the power of 'Human's Will' to guide the transformation, he would easily break through his limits, raising his 'Physical Strength' attribute to the next level.
This would provide him with enough chakra to start developing the 'Telepathy Technique' and the 'Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique'.
Indeed, while he had decided to focus on these two techniques, due to the lack of chakra, he had spent the past two days doing theoretical research without conducting any practical training.
However, he was confident that in just a few days, his body would undergo a transformation, which would increase his chakra recovery rate. By then, he would be able to proceed.
If not, he would have redistributed his chakra earlier.
However, it was better this way—first working on theoretical studies and then moving to practical training would save him chakra.
All these thoughts flashed through his mind, but he didn't dwell on them. He stood up, leaving the forest and heading towards the cliffside base.
Half an hour later.
After a quick dinner, Qingming entered the meeting room.
By this time, several of his subordinates had already arrived.
Without wasting time, Qingming asked them to report on their tasks for the day.
Although he had delegated many tasks to his subordinates, he still made it a point to listen to their reports every day. This allowed him to stay informed about the current situation at the base.
This way, when the enemy arrived, he would have a better understanding of the situation.
Soon, the reports were complete.
After confirming that nothing extraordinary had occurred, Qingming made a few general arrangements for the next day's tasks and quickly left.
Back in his quarters, Qingming didn't rush to rest.
As usual, he sat cross-legged, performing the 'Master's Techniques' and 'Heart Reflection Techniques' to strengthen his body and continue the evolution of his Sharingan.
Time passed by slowly.
Before long, it was already late at night.
The moonlight streamed through the window, and Qingming opened his eyes.
His gaze was filled with exhaustion.
He lowered his hands, muttering to himself, "Finally done."
With that, he didn't think any further and stood up, walking to the bedside. With a relaxing sigh, he collapsed onto the bed.
Within a few seconds, Qingming's faint snoring could be heard, indicating that he had fallen asleep.
...
Meanwhile, several ships were quietly sailing across the ocean, some distance away from the Eagle Beak Cliff.
Bathed in moonlight, the ships appeared like ghostly vessels, silent and devoid of any lights.
These were not ghost ships, however, but rather the warships of the Hidden Mist Village.
After sustaining heavy losses in their previous infiltration mission, the Hidden Mist Village had remained dormant for about a week, but now, they were gearing up for action again.
And this time, they were not engaging in minor skirmishes.
In fact, the Hidden Mist Village had its sights set on multiple locations, with Eagle Beak Cliff being just one of the targets.
Tonight, the Hidden Mist Village was launching a full-scale assault.
The forward base in the southeastern part of the Land of Waves, which had been used as a bridgehead by the Hidden Mist Village, was almost deserted.
This time, all the Mist Ninjas had joined the main force and were now at the frontlines.
The Hidden Mist Village planned to push forward and completely break through the defense line established by Konoha on the eastern border of the Fire Country, thereby extending the war into the heart of the Fire Country.
Of course, they did not intend to attack blindly.
The locations they chose to strike were all weak points in the various defense lines.
After such prolonged warfare, the Hidden Mist Village had gathered enough intelligence to understand where the weaknesses lay.
While having this information was valuable, it was of little use without knowing the distribution of enemy forces in these bases.
Only after the Hidden Mist Village's covert operations unit obtained crucial intelligence were they able to launch a full-scale offensive.
With the confirmation that the information was accurate, the Hidden Mist Village decided to move forward with the attack.
And tonight marked the beginning of their assault.
