Chapter 878 Come to the door

Everything went smoothly. After Qing Ming left the Hokage Building, he drove the ‘Ten-no-Yu’ stealthily and soon returned home.

During this period, no accidents happened.

As soon as he returned home, the first thing he did was to replace his shadow clone.

Qingming knew that everything he had done was far from perfect.

But the same thing goes, as long as there is no solid evidence, even if he is a suspect, the village can’t do anything to him.

After all, he was not some commoner middle-level ninja with no background who could be manipulated by the village.

Whether it’s his own overwhelming strength or his identity as a ninja from the Uchiha clan, a wealthy family in Konoha, he can make the village reason with him.

And with four Anbu ninjas outside as witnesses, he was not afraid to be honest.

Therefore, Qingming was not very worried about his situation.

Next, it depends on whether Orochimaru can escape?
Qingming felt that this possibility was quite high.

There was no other reason. When Qing Ming saw Namikaze Minato, Sarutobi Hiruzen and others appearing in the secret room on the third floor almost at the same time, he knew that Namikaze Minato was dragged into the Hokage Building by Sarutobi Hiruzen and others just as he expected.

Without a Kage-level master like Minato Namikaze in charge, the Konoha ninjas outside would have been unable to stop Orochimaru.

Therefore, the possibility of the other party escaping is very high.

Standing on the roof of his house, Qingming looked towards the forest east of the village, feeling the increasingly intense chakra fluctuations coming from there, his expression indescribably calm.

Time passes minute by minute.

At a certain moment, a huge sealing barrier appeared under the distant sky.

Obviously, this was the Sealing Squad taking action, intending to block Orochimaru’s retreat route.

But unfortunately, the barrier only lasted for a few minutes before it suddenly disappeared.

Then, the sound of fighting became farther and farther away, quickly moving towards the direction of the Konoha wall.

When they arrived at the wall of Konoha, a giant purple snake that was several dozen meters long was summoned by Orochimaru.

This was none other than Orochimaru’s summoning beast – the Manabu of the Ryuchi Cave.

As soon as Manabu appeared, he easily smashed the Konoha wall and broke through the siege of Konoha ninjas.

Afterwards, he disappeared into the horizon along with Orochimaru.

Of course, these were not what Qingming saw with his own eyes, but were memories synchronized to him after the shadow clone returned.

That’s right, the shadow clone followed throughout the entire battle.

As for looting Orochimaru’s laboratory.
Sorry, Minato Namikaze’s arrangements were more meticulous than he had expected.

Almost as soon as Orochimaru left, two teams of Anbu ninja rushed into the laboratory and sealed it off.

This is both the evidence of Orochimaru’s crime and the village’s gain from this battle. It is impossible for anyone to destroy or take it away at will.

The shadow clone strictly followed his instructions to be careful not to expose himself, and after confirming that the laboratory had been taken over by the Anbu, he did not rush in, but caught up with Orochimaru and monitored the movements on the battlefield.

That’s why he knows so many things.

Qing Ming was not too disappointed about not getting the experimental data he wanted, because this was just a casual move on his part. Success would be gratifying, but failure didn’t matter.

Anyway, his most important goal tonight has been achieved. He has obtained the ‘Spiritual Transformation Technique’, and everything else can be put aside.

Qing Ming collected his thoughts and stopped thinking about it. He returned to his bedroom and fell asleep.

······
dong dong dong~
the next day.

Early in the morning.

Qingming was awakened by a knock on the door.

In the bedroom, Qing Ming suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

Then, the white eyes between his eyebrows opened unconsciously.

Then, Qingming’s sight passed through many obstacles and saw the situation outside.

He saw two Anbu ninjas standing at his door.

Obviously, the person who knocked on the door just now was the other party.

This made Qingming’s heart tighten, and he thought to himself: “Did my breaking into the secret room last night get exposed?”

Qingming quickly recalled his actions last night, and after confirming that there were no major mistakes, he calmed down a little. Then, he got up from the bed, did not wash up, quickly dressed, walked out of the yard, and opened the door.

crunch~
The door was opened from the inside.

“Anbu?”

Qing Ming looked at the two people in front of him, showing a hint of doubt, and then asked: “You two, is there anything wrong?”

“Ah.”

Hearing Qingming’s question, one of them nodded and said, “Qingming Jonin, the Fourth Generation asks you to go to his office.”

“Office? Didn’t the Fourth-sama tell me what he wants from me?”

Qing Ming asked again.

The two ANBU ninjas shook their heads, looking as if they knew nothing.

Seeing this, Qingming shrugged and said, “Okay, let me wash up.”

“can.”

The two nodded after hearing this.

Qingming didn’t even close the door, but walked straight into the house. After quickly washing up, he went back outside.

Close the door and lock it!
Qing Ming looked at the two Anbu and said, “Alright, let’s go!”

Upon hearing this, the two Anbu led the way without further ado.

Walking on the street, Qingming could clearly feel that the village was particularly deserted today, as if the air was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

In the past, at this time of day, although it was still early, there were already people on the road.

But today, apart from the patrol members passing by from time to time, he couldn’t see any other people.

Obviously, everyone was shocked by the war that broke out last night, and no one wanted to be the first to stand out at a time like this.

However, these have little to do with Qingming. He just wants to know what Namikaze Minato wants to do with him.

First of all, one thing that is certain is that the incident of someone breaking into the secret room of the Hokage Building last night did make the other party suspicious of him.

Otherwise, there would not be any need to send a message to ask two Anbu ninjas to come over.

Moreover, after the message was delivered, the two did not leave on their own initiative, but waited to return with him.

No matter how you look at it, there’s a sense of surveillance in this.

But this also means that he has not been exposed, otherwise it would not be as simple as surveillance.

Therefore, this time the other party asked him to come over, in addition to further testing, there must be other reasons.

“What could it be?”

Qingming was confused.

While he was deep in thought, they arrived at the Hokage Building.

Qing Ming calmed himself down and pretended nothing had happened. Led by two Anbu ninjas, he went straight up to the second floor and arrived outside the Hokage’s office.

dong dong dong~
An Anbu stepped forward and knocked on the office door.

“Come in!”

Soon, a gentle voice with a hint of fatigue came from inside.

This was exactly the voice of Minato Namikaze, and it was obvious that he had not slept all night.

crunch~
The door was pushed open by an Anbu ninja.

Then, he took a step back and gestured for Qingming to go in.

Qing Ming didn’t waste any words and walked in generously.

Seeing him come in, Namikaze Minato forced himself to cheer up, forced a smile, and said, “Qingming, you’re here.”

“Ah.”

Qing Ming nodded and said, “Sir, you are looking for me?”
