The next day.
Early morning.
Qian washed up, filled his stomach, accepted a patrol mission from Nara Akimitsu, and left Aburatsu Port.
This time, he did not bring anyone else with him.
It was not that he did not want to, but that he could not.
Because this time, his patrol range did not only include the area around Aburatsu Port, but also several other strongholds currently engaged in battle with the Mist Ninja.
He even had to pay attention to the Mist Village's movements in the Land of Waves across the Strait.
Clearly, Nara Akimitsu wanted to make full use of his advantage in flight and gather as much intelligence from every direction as possible.
Qian had nothing to say about that.
After leaving Aburatsu Port, he directly used the "Shadow Clone Technique" and created three shadow clones.
After having each of them take charge of a different area, he went to find a secluded corner to train.
For him, who had already maxed out grinding "Wind Release: Wind Wings" and the "Telepathy Technique" to perfection, a mission like this did not require him to personally step in at all. Sending out a few shadow clones was more than enough.
As long as the intelligence could be relayed back in time, he believed that even if Nara Akimitsu knew he was slacking off, he would not say much.
Qian temporarily pushed the mission to the back of his mind and arrived at the place where he had trained last night.
After undoing the "Guardian Seal" on his forehead, Qian focused his mind, activated his Byakugan, and flew a circle around the area. Only after confirming that there was no one nearby did he land on the ground.
Without wasting any time, he directly used the "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique"
