Konoha's Thunder Flash Qingyu

嗒

A crystal dewdrop dropped on the bluestone, and a ray of sunlight fell through the layers of green leaves, clearly reflecting the veins of the leaves, making them transparent and bright. The surrounding fog gradually dissipated under the sunlight.

A small stream meanders through the forest, with a slanting glow. The water is clear and clear, revealing the colorful pebbles at the bottom of the stream.

"call"

Qingyu squatted by the stream, scooped up the clear stream water, rubbed his cheeks hard twice, and shook his head. The cool stream water made him sober.

cuckoo

The kettles stretched into the stream continued to bubble. After a while, he picked up the three kettles in his hands, closed the lids and walked towards the camp.

Passing through a lush clump of maidenhair fern and fern, in front of a few purple elm trees, I saw Ishimaru Toyo and Shiraki Minato having hitched up their carriage and were ready to set off at any time.

There was a person standing at the edge of the woods. Qingyu walked over and handed her a kettle in his hand.

"Miss Lanzi, your kettle." Qingyu said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord Qingyu." Sugiyama Ranko smiled politely.

"Miss Lanzi, your face is very pale, you seem to have had a bad rest," Qingyu looked at her and said.

"Oh, really?" Sugiyama Ranko was stunned for a moment, then touched her cheek with one hand and said with a forced smile: "Maybe it's because the past few days have been so terrible that I'm not in good spirits. Okay, thank you for helping me get water. , I’m leaving first, Madam is still waiting.”

After finishing speaking, Sugiyama Ranko bowed slightly, turned and left.

Are the sequelae of this matter so serious? Qingyu frowned as he looked at her back, feeling a little confused.

Today is already the sixth day after the fierce battle that night. In the five nights before that, the enemy never sent any other men to attack. It seems that just like Qingyu’s analysis, her battle that night The losses were serious, so we could only continue to lurk and did not dare to act rashly.

Sugiyama Ranko, Kitazawao and Kitazawa Ayako all looked pale after the fierce battle that night, but at that time it could be explained that the battle was taking place outside their tent, so they were frightened by the monsters.

But after so many days of calm, Qing Yu was a little surprised that his face remained so bad.

Maybe it's really tiring to serve Kitazawa Ayako. Qingyu speculated casually, walked forward, and stopped paying attention.

After packing up everything and loading it into the carriage, everyone started to set off.

Qingyu handled the aftermath at the end, extinguishing the fire completely, covering it with soil, covering the traces with some branches, and then walked forward, preparing to leave.

Suddenly, when passing by the ruins where Kitazawao and others had set up a big tent, he seemed to catch a glimpse of some tiny relics out of the corner of his eye. He frowned and walked over.

He crouched down and found a handful of dead leaves on the ground. Originally, such broken leaves could be seen everywhere in the woods, but what caught his attention was the special color of these broken leaves. Most of the surrounding dead leaves are withered yellow, and occasionally gray-brown, but the color of these broken leaves is a completely different pink-white, and it is also extremely bright.

The most important point is that this is where Kitazawao and others live. He has entered Kitazawao's tent several times before and found that the couple seemed to have a bit of mysophobia. Because the tent has no bottom, Sugiyama Ranko usually has to pick up all the dead leaves on the ground and sprinkle some insect repellent powder and fragrant powder before living in it.

He twisted some of it, put it in front of his nose and smelled it. The smell was slightly astringent.

"Qingyu, what are you doing? Hurry up." Senju Xueying's voice came from the carriage.

"Oh, here we come." Qingyu agreed. After thinking for a while, he took out a piece of white paper, wrapped the broken leaves, put them in his pocket, then stood up and left, preparing to study them later.

He didn't mean to investigate other people's problems, but there seemed to be an instinct in his heart that drove him to do so, and even he couldn't explain it.

The sunset gradually sets, and the afterglow shines on the Eastern Avenue.

The carriage slowed down, and Qingyu looked at the surrounding scenery boredly.

"Entering the forest in front is the territory of the Land of Ze." Bai Muman said to him enthusiastically while pulling on the reins.

"If you get home safely, our mission will finally be completed. Of course, it would be better if there is no mouse hiding in the dark to worry about." Qingyu said half-jokingly.

"Although this is your mission, I still really thank you. Without you, we might not be here." Bai Mumin said sincerely.

"Ha, after the mission is completed, just take me to taste the delicacies of your country of Ze." Qingyu said with a smile.

"Haha, no problem."

Qingyu looked at the carriage in front of him, suddenly remembered something, and asked casually: "Mr. Kitazawa's sleep seems to be very good. After these few days of travel, even when he is resting during the day, he seems to be rarely seen." awake."

"Ah. Mr. Kitazawa was not like this before. It seems that this time it was because he was too frightened, so his energy was low." Shiraki replied a little embarrassed.

"Oh." Qingyu smiled and nodded.

Maybe I'm too sensitive, he thought to himself, and immediately stopped paying attention to this matter.

This area at the junction of the two countries is a hilly area with undulating mountains, but they are not tall. To be precise, they are continuous hills.

In the forest ahead, the trees are tall. On the right side of the road, a surging river extends into the forest parallel to the road. Looking from a distance, there is nothing unusual except for some thin white mist.

Qingyu thought for a while, and just to be on the safe side, he closed his eyes and formed a seal with his left hand.

Kagura's eyes

Spiritual perception spreads, and in the dark world of perception, there is silence and nothing abnormal.

He opened his eyes and looked calm.

The carriage entered the forest road and gradually entered the area shrouded in white mist.

After a while, Qingyu whispered: "Ming, just keep this slow speed."

"Ok."

Then, Qingyu opened the curtain at the back, put his head into the car, and said to the girl inside: "Xueying, let's get down. You are responsible for the left side, and I will look at the right side."

"Okay." Senju Xueying agreed, then raised the curtain and came out.

The two people got out of the carriage, guarded the left and right sides of the convoy, and followed the convoy forward.

Entering the forest where it is easy to ambush the enemy, they must slow down and then guard both sides of the convoy, which is what Tsunade asked them to do.

After a while, Shizune also got off the front carriage and was on the left side with Senju Yueying, guarding the dense forest on the left.

As the convoy went deeper and deeper into the forest, the white fog gradually became heavier and visibility further decreased.

Something is wrong, Qingyu thought with a frown.

The surrounding forest trees do not belong to the types that grow in a cold and humid environment. Although there is a river, the soil in the forest is not wet, and the river is a living water, and the flow rate is not slow. In addition, the setting sun in the sky behind now can still shine into the forest. It is impossible for the environment under such a combination of all conditions to produce such heavy fog. The current situation is extremely abnormal.

Qingyu's heart trembled, and his eyes patrolled both sides warily.

Suddenly, he saw a pool of water on the loess beside the river. There are no sloping shoals on both sides of the river. They are all raised embankments, and there are no other traces of water around it, so the water appears extremely abruptly.

cuckoo

At this moment, a tiny splash suddenly appeared on the river, creating a whirlpool and sucking in a piece of fallen leaves on the surface of the water.

The instinctive perception in Qingyu's mind suddenly moved, his eyes narrowed, and he immediately shouted: "Stop, be on guard."
