In the blink of an eye, three more days had passed.
Unknowingly, a week had already passed since they carried out the decapitation mission.
Time had moved into early October.
As the end of the year approached, even in the relatively mild climate of the Fire Country, there was a sudden drop in temperature, especially in the coastal area near the oil port.
That night.
In a forest near the front-line camp.
By a campfire.
Qingming opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing through his gaze.
In the next moment, he raised his hand to form seals and cast a ninjutsu.
A crackling sound of electricity filled the air as two bolts of lightning shot out from his palm, striking a large tree in the distance.
Instantly, a burnt wood smell wafted through the air.
Qingming withdrew his hand and looked at the tree. He saw two scorched pits on its surface, with faint flashes of lightning still flickering within them.
Clearly, these pits were the result of his recent attack.
And his means of attack was none other than lightning release ninjutsu.
That's right, after several days of research and practice, he had finally successfully developed lightning-attribute chakra and learned a basic lightning release technique—Lightning Release: Lightning Strike.
This was the ninjutsu he had just cast.
"Panel!"
With a thought, Qingming opened his proficiency panel.
Immediately, the familiar soft blue light screen appeared:

Full Mastery Skills:]
As can be seen, in addition to 'Lightning Release: Lightning Strike', he had also learned another lightning release technique—Lightning Release: Lightning Body!
This was one of the two lightning techniques sent along with the Uchiha clan's notes on lightning chakra training. The technique worked by stimulating the body with electrical currents to enhance reaction speed.
From its effect, it was easy to deduce that this technique could only be trained with the body itself.
However, Qingming's schedule was packed every day, with no extra time to specifically train this technique, so he had only managed to bring it to lv0 (15/100) and decided to temporarily give it up.
Along with this, he had also temporarily abandoned several other techniques that required external chakra supplementation, such as 'Wind Release: Fierce Wind Palm', 'Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique', 'Water Release: Water Chaos Wave', and 'Water Release: Water Formation Wall'. He had even recently started learning 'Water Release: Water Severing Wave', which had to be put aside for now.
In the past few days, although he had occasionally gone out to "farm" chakra from the Mist Ninjas in the oil port, most of the chakra had been used for researching the 'Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique' and 'Chakra Armor', with none left for these other skills.
Thus, he had no choice but to temporarily abandon them.
However, his investment had been completely worthwhile.
In the past three days, both the 'Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique' and 'Chakra Armor' had not yet been fully learned, but they had already been imprinted on his panel.
Thus, mastering them was just a matter of time.
Originally, Qingming thought it would take longer, but the reality showed that as long as he had sufficient chakra, learning or developing new techniques could indeed yield surprising results.
Well... it might not exactly be a miracle.
As the number of techniques he learned increased, he naturally became more adept at learning and developing new skills. This was the reason why, in just a few days, he had successfully imprinted 'Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique' and 'Chakra Armor' onto his panel.
Looking at these two techniques on the panel and considering their future uses, Qingming thought about whether he should increase the frequency of his "farming" and harvest more chakra from the Mist Ninjas.
However, after thinking for a while, he decided against it.
The reason was simple. After a week of silence, the Mist Ninjas in the oil port had rebuilt their command system and were beginning to stir again.
While Qingming wasn't afraid of fighting them, he didn't want to stir up trouble.
If he pushed them into a corner and forced them to attack prematurely, it would just waste his time.
Therefore, he decided it would be better to focus on steady progress.
With this thought in mind, Qingming closed the panel, yawned, stretched, extinguished the campfire, and used 'Wind Release: Wings of the Wind' to fly toward the camp.
His training for the day had been completed, and it was time to rest.
However, when he returned to the camp, he suddenly noticed that today's situation was different from usual.
Normally, at this hour, apart from the patrolling and guard ninjas, there were hardly any other people awake, as everyone else would have gone to sleep.
But today, when Qingming scanned the camp, he saw that almost everyone was awake, their faces full of joy, as if something had happened that was worth celebrating.
Qingming furrowed his brows, about to ask someone what was going on when Kobayashi Junji approached him first.
Before Qingming could speak, Kobayashi Junji, with an excited look on his face, said, "Captain, the Hidden Sand Village has surrendered!"
"What?" Qingming was stunned by this sudden news and involuntarily spoke out.
Kobayashi Junji replied, "Yes, Captain, the war with the Hidden Sand Village is over."
Qingming was still trying to process this and quickly asked, "When did this happen?"
"It was just recently. The message came from the command center," Kobayashi Junji responded.
At that moment, even though Qingming had already anticipated this outcome, he still couldn't help but feel a little stunned.
After a long pause, he murmured, "This war... is finally coming to an end."
Indeed, to Qingming, the truce between Konoha and the Hidden Sand Village was a signal.
The war that had swept across the entire ninja world would soon come to an end.
However, before that, the Hidden Mist Village would definitely launch a counterattack, something they had to be prepared for!
