Chapter 799 Peeping
Two hours to refine chakra, two hours to warm up the white eyes, plus the time spent on eating and traveling
Qingming got up late today.

Therefore, it is already past noon.

Looking at the scorching sun above his head, Qing Ming simply stopped thinking about it for the time being. He sensed a mark of the Flying Thunder God left on the way here, and in an instant, he performed the ‘Flying Thunder God Technique’.

Silently, Qingming’s figure disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already standing on a big tree.

Since today is time to rest and relax, Qing Ming naturally won’t push himself too hard.

So, now.
It’s time for a nap.

Thinking of this, Qingming glanced around and after confirming that there was no one around, he casually stuffed a few military pills into his mouth and then lay down on the tree branch.

Looking at the sunlight shining through the gaps in the treetops above his head, Qing Ming couldn’t help but yawn, and felt a little sleepy.

Qingming relaxed his mind and looked at the sky with lifeless eyes. As time passed, his consciousness gradually drifted away.

Finally, after a struggle, the upper and lower eyelids closed.

Tweet, Tweet, Tweet~
I don’t know how much time had passed, but a bird suddenly flew over his head and Qingming suddenly opened his eyes.

Then, an invisible aura emanated from him, and the bird seemed to be frightened by something and fell from mid-air immediately.

Not only it, but other insects and birds in the surrounding woods were also affected and closed their mouths one by one.

Suddenly, the forest became quiet.

Qingming glanced around and found nothing unusual.

“Illusion?”

Qingming murmured.

But soon, he shook his head to deny this speculation.

Just now, although he fell asleep in a daze, he was still aware of the outside world.

Just now, he felt a vague sense of being watched.

And it still exists today.

So, this is by no means an illusion.

When he thought of this, Qing Ming did not hesitate at all. He immediately concentrated his mind, slightly loosened the seal between his eyebrows, and opened his eyes calmly.

Suddenly, his vision penetrated the Konoha forehead guard and the surrounding trees, taking in everything within a kilometer radius.

However, still nothing was found.

“Isn’t that a white eye?”

Qingming murmured something.

That’s right, after feeling this sense of being watched, his first reaction was that someone was spying on him with a white eye.

There are two reasons why he made such a guess. One is that the Byakugan is indeed very suitable for this kind of long-distance detection.

Secondly, the feeling he got from being watched was very much like being stared at with the cold eye.

But now that it has been confirmed that it is not the Byakugan, then who else and what other ninjutsu are there in Konoha Village that can produce similar effects?

Qingming’s brain was working rapidly.

Soon, a name came into his mind – Sarutobi Hiruzen.

That’s right, it’s the Third Hokage – Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Qingming remembered that the other party had a ninjutsu – the telescope technique, which allowed him to monitor all areas of Konoha without leaving home.

Based on its detection method, Qingming can infer that this technique, like the Byakugan, also uses chakra as a medium to achieve long-distance reconnaissance.

Therefore, it was normal for him to feel fluctuations similar to the white eyes.

If he guessed correctly, the chakra in the air around him should be abnormal.

With this thought, Qing Ming retracted his gaze and focused all his attention on the air nearby, magnifying the details as much as possible. Thanks to his Byakugan having evolved once, he was more sensitive to subtle details.

So he soon discovered the problem.

At this moment, the chakra in the air around him faintly carried some other mental fluctuations. It was obvious that someone was using this as a medium to secretly spy on this place.

Without any hesitation, Qing Ming closed his eyes and immediately looked up at the sky.

At this moment, his eyes seemed to meet someone’s, which startled him.

After a moment, the feeling of being spied on disappeared.

“Ha~”

Qing Ming sneered and then looked away.

He didn’t know whether Sarutobi Hiruzen spied on him intentionally or unintentionally, but he thought that his performance and reaction just now were enough to make the other party not dare to spy on him easily.

However, today’s incident still served as a reminder to Qingming that he needs to be more cautious when doing things in the village in the future.

Thinking of this, Qing Ming looked at the time and found that more than an hour had passed.

Therefore, he stopped wasting time and continued with the morning test, thinking about the allocation of chakra saved after the skills such as ‘Transfer Seal’ were perfected.

······
at the same time.

Deep in the leaves.

In a large courtyard.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stayed in the study, his eyes moving away from a crystal ball.

He hesitated for a moment, then whispered: “Young people are really to be feared!”

Qingming guessed correctly, the person who had just spied on him was Sarutobi Hiruzen.

And the ninjutsu used was indeed the ‘telescope technique’.

In addition, his spying on him was not unintentional, but intentional.

The reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen paid attention to him was because he couldn’t let go of Danzo’s death.

The present is different from the future. Although Danzo has done a lot of evil now, most of them are directed at people from other villages, and he has not yet targeted his own people too much.

Things like forcing each family to send their children to the Root for training, targeting the Uchiha clan, capturing village ninjas for use in Orochimaru’s experiments, etc., none of these had yet to be done.

Therefore, in Sarutobi Hiruzen’s view, everything Danzo did was understandable.

After all, one of them is in the light and the other is in the dark.
It is precisely for this reason that, as an old friend of several decades, he has always been brooding over Danzo’s death.

As the first suspect, Qing Ming naturally attracted his attention.

In the past, he had spied on Qingming before.

But unfortunately, since killing Danzo, Qingming has been practicing hard and has not spent much time in the village. Most of the time, he is just a shadow clone.

In order to ensure that the shadow clone exists for a long time, Qing Ming will not let him practice.

Sarutobi Hiruzen’s “Telescope Technique” was unable to detect the situation outside Konoha.

Therefore, there has been no discovery so far.

Today, he finally got the chance to peek at Qingming’s true form, but he never expected that Qingming actually discovered him.

When the two people’s eyes intersected through the crystal ball, Sarutobi Hiruzen was really shocked.

It is for this reason that he sighed, “The young are to be feared!”

However, it is impossible for him to give up completely.

In the study, Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped the table with his fingers, narrowed his eyes, looked ahead, and no one knew what he was thinking.
