Holding a person in his hand, Qingming hovered in the air, looking down at the vigilant Mist Ninjas below. After thinking for a moment, he raised his right hand, focused his chakra, and performed the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
This was no challenge for him.
Normally, performing the Shadow Clone Jutsu didn't require any specific hand seals. In the past, he had formed the "Ren" seal with his hands out of habit. In reality, as long as one had enough control over their chakra, the technique could be performed without any seals.
He was now preparing to create a shadow clone with wings, so he made a single hand seal out of formality.
Boom~
With a burst of chakra smoke, a shadow clone appeared on the scene.
Qingming glanced at it, then raised his chin toward the Mist Ninjas below and said, "You go entertain them."
"Hehehe~"
The shadow clone let out a cold laugh.
Then, it dove toward the Mist Ninja team, starting to use various jutsu.
Qingming watched for a moment, confirming that as long as the shadow clone didn't land, it wouldn't be in too much danger. Satisfied, he flew away from the area, still holding the Oil Woman Clan ninja in his grasp.
Looking at the scene where only a shadow clone remained, while the main body flew off, the Mist Ninjas felt both insulted and relieved at the same time.
To be honest, they had no good way of dealing with Qingming.
Now that he had left, the pressure on them was significantly reduced.
As for the shadow clone, though tricky, it had its obvious flaws. If they were willing to pay some price, they wouldn't have trouble defeating it.
This was much easier to deal with than Qingming himself.
Meanwhile, Qingming didn't bother with the battle between the shadow clone and the Mist Ninjas. Habitually using the "Heart-to-Heart Technique" to keep track of the clone, he left the area.
He flew at a speed of over a hundred meters per second for about five minutes, covering more than thirty kilometers from the battlefield before stopping.
He scanned the surroundings and, using his Byakugan's x-ray vision, found a remote forest without anyone in sight. He landed there.
Boom~
He threw the Oil Woman Clan ninja to the ground with a heavy thud.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
A minute passed before Qingming spoke up, "Alright, stop pretending if you're awake."
However, the Oil Woman Clan ninja on the ground didn't show any signs of waking up, his breathing still as even as before, as though he was still in a deep sleep.
Seeing this, Qingming shook his head and said again, "If you don't move now, you won't get another chance."
This time, before his words finished, the Oil Woman Clan ninja's breathing suddenly changed, as if he had used all his strength in an instant. In the blink of an eye, he sprang up and shot toward Qingming like a cannonball.
At the same time, a kunai appeared in his hand, aimed directly at Qingming's heart.
Even in this moment, he didn't open his eyes, clearly guarding against Qingming's Sharingan Genjutsu.
What can one say?
He was truly a task tool trained by the ROOT, maintaining this level of combat awareness even in such a situation. It was indeed impressive.
Unfortunately, in the face of absolute strength, all calculations were in vain.
Not to mention, he had already seen the change in the ninja's chakra flow with his Byakugan, indicating the ninja was waking up, so Qingming was already prepared.
Even without that, there was no way he could succeed.
Just like now, looking at the Oil Woman Clan ninja charging at him, Qingming merely thought for a moment and activated his Mangekyō Sharingan.
A tear of blood flowed from his left eye.
In the next instant, the ability of 'Tenshi no Mi' was activated.
In an instant, Qingming and the ninja seemed to exist in two different parallel worlds, completely separated.
In the outside world, Qingming's body suddenly vanished.
Along with it, his presence disappeared.
Sensing this, the Oil Woman ninja suddenly opened his eyes, scanning the surroundings with a look of confusion and suspicion in his gaze.
Just as he was about to release the insects within him to search more widely, Qingming's figure reappeared.
And the moment he reappeared, he stood right in front of the ninja.
The Oil Woman ninja's pupils shrank. He immediately tried to close his eyes.
But unfortunately, it was too late.
The moment their eyes met, Qingming used 'Genjutsu: Sharingan' to pull the ninja's consciousness into an illusion.
Still, Qingming didn't relax. He swiftly extended his hand and, from the ninja's hidden left palm, retrieved a detonating tag that was already igniting.
Clearly, the ninja, having failed in his assassination attempt, had planned to take Qingming down with him.
Even his earlier frantic eye movements had been meant to draw Qingming out and close the distance.
Unfortunately…
If it were a regular Three-Tomoe Sharingan, he might have fallen for it.
But now that Qingming had activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, with his greatly enhanced perception abilities and the assistance of Byakugan, there was no way he could be tricked.
"Hmph!"
Qingming let out a cold snort and threw the detonating tag away.
Boom~
A violent explosion rang out.
A strong shockwave swept through the area.
Qingming stood still, unmoving.
When the chaos settled and peace returned, he began to deal with the ROOT ninja in front of him.
Yes, he was now one hundred percent certain that this person was a ROOT ninja.
Only a ROOT ninja would go this far.
Using 'Genjutsu: Sharingan', Qingming began to guide the ninja's memories, forcing him to recall intelligence about the mission.
Having read the memories of several ROOT ninjas already, Qingming was experienced. He directly bypassed those memories sealed by specific jutsu and focused on the unsealed ones, which saved him a lot of time.
After about fifteen minutes.
Qingming stopped using Genjutsu and began to organize the information he had just obtained.
First, the person in front of him was indeed an Oil Woman Clan ninja named Oil Woman Wuying, a ROOT ninja with the codename "Shadow Insect."
From the memories, Qingming learned that this ninja had further developed the Oil Woman Clan's "Destruction Worms" to create the "Simulated Breath Worms."
As the name implied, these worms helped the user hide and alter their own breath.
Initially, this was a somewhat impractical jutsu, but when Tobi found out about it, he immediately recruited Wuying through Oil Woman Ryoma.
After professional training and the addition of a forbidden jutsu that could copy the height, body shape, and appearance of others, Wuying had become the perfect spy.
That's right, the person in front of him wasn't his real appearance, but the appearance of a Mist Ninja named Nishikawa Sai, which he had copied.
It was through this disguise that he had successfully infiltrated the Mist Ninja team earlier.
As for his original appearance… sorry, it could no longer be restored. Until he found another target, he would have to use this face.
This was also why the jutsu to change one's appearance was classified as forbidden.
After all, no one wanted to permanently take on another person's appearance, not even for the Anbu ninjas.
Such things could only be done by the ROOT under Tobi's control.
However, Qingming didn't care much about that. What concerned him was what exactly the ninja's mission target was, and whether he had any accomplices.
As for the rest, it didn't matter.
With that thought, Qingming closed his eyes again and began to search the memories he had just read, looking for relevant information.
After a moment, he opened his eyes, a strong killing intent flashing in his gaze.
