Chapter 789 Missing
In a flash, more than three hours passed.

It was late at night.

In the training room.

When Qing Ming once again extracted chakra from the strange space between his eyebrows, compressed it twice through the ‘Senluo Wanxiang Seal’, and injected it into his white eyes, a feeling of saturation and swelling suddenly came.

Suddenly, Qingming understood that today’s nourishment had reached its limit.

Sure enough, after persisting for about ten minutes, his Byakugan could no longer absorb any chakra.

“Inhale~~~Exhale~~~”

Take a deep breath and let it out slowly.

After a while, Qingming finally opened his eyes.

Because he didn’t create a shadow clone to practice with him today, and because he had a good sleep on the island last night, he was still excited even though he had made it this far.

However, you still need to rest when you need to.

After all, he has to resume his hard training tomorrow!
Thinking this in his heart, Qing Ming stood up, went to the bathroom to wash his face, then returned to the bedroom, looked at the bright moon outside the window, and slowly fell asleep.

A speechless night!
······
The next day.

early morning.

The sky is bright.

Qingming has already gotten up.

After washing up casually, putting on his equipment, and performing the “Shadow Clone Technique” to create a shadow clone to stay at home, Qing Ming walked out of the house.

However, just as he was about to have a full meal and leave the village as usual, he suddenly saw several Anbu ninjas running past in the shadows.

Judging from their hurried steps, it was obvious that something big had happened.

but
“What does this have to do with me?”

Muttering something, Qingming shook his head secretly and walked forward again.

But before he could walk far, he saw an acquaintance coming towards him.

“Hey, Qingming, are you going out again?”

From a distance, Uchiha Shisui greeted.

That’s right, this acquaintance was none other than Uchiha Shisui.

“Ah.”

Looking at the other party, Qingming did not hide his plan to leave the village and nodded in response.

Then, he glanced at the other person and the several members of the security department behind him, and asked in a slightly puzzled tone: “What are you going to do so early in the morning?”

Hearing this, Uchiha Shisui looked around and confirmed that there was no one else. Then he whispered, “Qingming, you should be careful recently. Several people disappeared in the village last night.”

“also”

Qingming was confused.

Then, a memory of the shadow clone that had stayed in the village flashed through his mind.

Before, he was only concerned with understanding and accepting the mission, and the other memories of the shadow clone were put aside.

Now, when he suddenly heard Uchiha Shisui’s words, relevant memories immediately emerged in his mind.

Indeed, in the memory of that shadow clone, there have been several cases of missing persons in Konoha in recent times.

At first, there were just some ordinary villagers.

But soon, some ninjas disappeared.

However, those who had disappeared previously were all middle and lower-level ninjas, and the village did not take it seriously.

And now, even the Anbu and the Guard Department have been dispatched. It is obvious that the missing person this time is either very powerful or has a different identity, or both.

That’s right, Qingming had already guessed what the several Anbu ninjas he had just seen were doing.

Judging from the direction they were heading and their hurried steps, they were obviously rushing to the scene of the incident just like Uchiha Shisui’s team.

On the other side, seeing Qingming looking thoughtful, Uchiha Shisui’s eyes lit up immediately and he said, “Qingming, do you know anything?” Hearing this, Qingming quickly gathered his thoughts, shook his head, and said, “No, I just thought of something else.”

After hearing Qingming’s explanation, Uchiha Shisui looked at him with a little suspicion.

For some reason, he always felt that Qingming knew something.

However, since Qingming was unwilling to say, he did not ask any more questions.

The two of them exchanged a few brief words, and then Uchiha Shisui and his men hurried away.

Looking at their backs, Qing Ming murmured, “Orochimaru?”

That’s right, when Qingming heard about the missing people, he immediately thought of Orochimaru.

After all, in another timeline, the other party was using the people in the village for experiments for a period of time.

And now, without Danzo as his partner to provide him with various experimental subjects, he will only become even crazier.

Therefore, it is very likely that the person who took action was the other party.

In addition, Qingming also believed that Namikaze Minato and a group of Konoha’s high-ranking officials probably knew the situation, but because of Orochimaru’s identity, they could not act rashly without absolute evidence.

Therefore, now everything that the Anbu or Uchiha Shisui and others are doing is just to find evidence.

Unfortunately, Qingming doesn’t think highly of them.

It’s obvious that Orochimaru has figured out the intentions of Konoha’s top leaders. They will most likely not leave any clues before the experiment is completed.

In this case, no matter how hard the Anbu and the Guards try, it will be in vain.

However, the patience of Konoha’s top brass is limited.

Even if he was one of the legendary three ninjas, even if he was a disciple of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and even if he had made great military achievements, as long as he offended public anger, his final outcome would be to be eliminated.

Of course, whether it can be cleaned up depends on the village’s ability.

However, when it comes to the ability to save one’s life, if Orochimaru is second, no one dares to claim to be first.

Therefore, Qingming estimated that there was a high probability that he would defect in the end.

This is the benefit of “foresight”. Although it is just an insignificant piece of information, it can also allow Qingming to infer a lot of things.

And, make some preparations for it.

After standing there in contemplation for a while, Qingming stopped thinking about it and continued walking towards the ‘Food Street’.

As usual, after eating and drinking, Qingming followed the crowd and left Konoha Village.

When they reached a remote path, Qing Ming immediately opened his white eyes and observed everything within a hundred meters.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he directly sensed the Flying Thunder God mark on the island, and with a thought, he activated the ‘Flying Thunder God Technique’.

In just a moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.

The vision in front of him suddenly changed, and Qingming came to this island in the southern part of the Land of Fire from outside Konoha Village in an instant.

It’s still the same here as it was yesterday, peaceful as usual.

Qing Ming raised his hands and formed seals, then performed Wind Style: Wind Wings and Chakra Feather Robe, and flew into the sky.

Then, it began to fly around the island.

Just like that, round and round, it didn’t take long before he used his eyes to scan the area of ​​dozens of kilometers.

Nothing abnormal was found!

This made Qingming’s series of actions seem a little redundant, but Qingming would not relax or be careless at all.

As the saying goes, it is better to be safe than sorry.

If he is careless, he might be lucky once or twice and nothing will happen, but if an accident happens, he will be caught off guard.

Therefore, he would rather waste a little chakra than save time on this.

Besides, it wouldn’t take him long.
