Seeing that Qingming's face had turned serious and he had remained silent for a while, Xiao Lin Junji finally calmed down and cautiously spoke, "Captain, what's wrong?"
"Oh~"
Qingming was startled by his voice and waved his hand. "It's nothing!"
Indeed, after hearing the news, Wunin Village would certainly react. Not just them, but Iwagakure, who was engaged in battle with Konoha in the Land of Rain, and Kumogakure, who had been having constant friction with Konoha, would react as well.
But so what?
The trend in the ninja world was towards peace. The nearly three years of war had made everyone, whether ordinary people or ninjas, tired of the constant fighting.
In such a situation, even if the higher-ups of these villages wanted to continue the war, it was unlikely.
Besides, when the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Other villages' reactions would naturally be dealt with by Konoha's higher-ups. He was just a small soldier, so why worry so much?
With that thought, Qingming immediately felt relieved.
He instructed Xiao Lin Junji to make sure tonight's night watch and patrol were properly arranged and to be cautious, then returned to his temporary quarters.
Qingming didn't waste time or energy joining the celebration of the other ninjas outside. He lay on his bed and quickly fell asleep.
The Next Day.
Early Morning.
Qingming woke from his sleep.
After quickly finishing his morning routine, he arranged the day's tasks for his subordinates and was about to go out for his training.
However, at that moment, a messenger Chunin suddenly arrived from outside the temporary camp and found him.
Upon seeing the messenger, Qingming initially thought something significant had happened and his heart sank, fearing his training plan for the day would be ruined. But once he quickly skimmed through the letter handed to him, he relaxed.
The contents of the letter mainly had two things: first, it formally notified him of the peace agreement between the village and Sunagakure. According to the letter, both sides' higher-ups had reached a preliminary consensus and would formally conclude the peace treaty in the next one or two days.
Secondly, the letter informed him that within the shortest time of a week, and at most half a month, the village would send reinforcements from the Sunagakure front to assist them. It urged him to be vigilant against any potential retaliation from Wunin.
As for the retaliation, Qingming wasn't particularly concerned. After all, the Konoha ninjas stationed near Yojin Port weren't just him and his subordinates.
At least 80% of Konoha's forces in this battlefield were concentrated here, and countless Byakugan were constantly monitoring the Wunin in Yojin Port. Any movements from the enemy could be detected in the first instance.
So there was no need for him to worry.
What concerned him more was the arrival of the reinforcements.
When they arrived, perhaps he would be able to leave this battlefield and return to the Blackstone Base, or even the Eagle Beak Cliff Base.
He preferred those two bases over this battlefield.
First, there were fewer special ability ninjas among the allies there, so he could carry out his work more freely, without having to be overly cautious.
Second, the enemies there were weaker and more suitable for him to harvest chakra.
He needed external chakra to improve many of his skills, and those people would make perfect targets.
However, these things could only be considered once the reinforcements arrived. There was no point in thinking too much about it now.
Temporarily pushing all these thoughts to the back of his mind, Qingming put away the letter and said to the messenger Chunin, "Alright, I've received the letter. You can go back and report."
"Understood, Captain Qingming!"
The Chunin replied, then immediately used the 'Body Flicker Technique' and disappeared.
Watching the messenger leave, Qingming planned to leave as well.
However, after taking a few steps, he turned back.
Although most of the camp already knew about the ceasefire, it was only through word of mouth. Since he had received official notification, he decided to share the news.
"I wonder if they'll get excited again this time?" Qingming thought to himself.
As it turned out, he had underestimated the Konoha ninjas' desire for peace. As soon as he officially announced the news, the camp once again erupted in excitement.
Looking at the overly excited ninjas, Qingming shook his head. After instructing them to increase vigilance, he left the camp and returned to the forest to continue his training.
Four days later.
It was the fifth day at noon.
On this day, Qingming was training as usual when suddenly, the cry of an eagle sounded.
In an instant, Qingming opened his eyes, looked up, and saw a male eagle circling above him, occasionally letting out calls.
After circling a few times, the eagle seemed to confirm his position and immediately dived down to approach him.
Seeing the eagle, Qingming's expression changed slightly.
This eagle was familiar to him. It was the summoning beast of one of his Chunin subordinates and also the communication channel between him and the camp.
Unless absolutely necessary, the eagle wouldn't disturb him.
But once it did, it meant that something major had happened at the camp.
Considering the tense atmosphere of the past few days, Qingming had a rough idea of what had happened.
Without delay, Qingming grabbed the eagle and retrieved the rolled-up letter from the scroll tube on its leg.
Opening it, he saw a few simple words written on it: Wunin is attacking, return immediately!
Upon reading these six words, Qingming's face showed an expression of "I knew it."
Since the news of the ceasefire between Konoha and Sunagakure had spread, the Wunin in Yojin Port had begun to show signs of restlessness.
And two days ago, when both sides officially signed the peace treaty, the Wunin had become even more agitated.
Since that moment, Qingming had known they would definitely launch an attack.
Now, it seemed that his prediction was correct.
After two days of waiting, the enemy had finally completed their preparations and was now launching an attack on them.
However, Qingming didn't feel particularly nervous.
The reason was simple: with his current strength, even if Konoha were to be completely defeated, the Wunin would not be able to do anything to him.
So, what was there to be nervous about?
On the contrary, Qingming saw this as an opportunity.
After all, many of his skills were waiting for chakra to improve!
If he could take advantage of this to harvest a little chakra, he might not be able to elevate all his skills to perfection, but at least he could improve one or two levels.
With that thought, Qingming stopped wasting time, released the eagle, and dispelled his 'Shadow Clone Technique.'
In an instant, all the shadow clones training in the surrounding forest disappeared.
A large amount of training experience and memories flooded Qingming's mind.
Closing his eyes, Qingming quickly absorbed and digested these experiences and memories, transforming them into proficiency for his skills. Then, he used 'Wind Release: Wind Wings' and 'Chakra Cloak,' speeding off towards the camp.
