Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

"No, we can't move forward so slowly. Time is not on our side. We must speed up."

After some discussion, someone said this.

Others nodded in agreement.

Nara Surabaya thought for a moment and found no good solution, so he agreed to the proposal.

Then, he ordered: "From now on, everyone abandons unnecessary things and the team begins to move forward at full speed."

Upon hearing this order, all Konoha ninjas threw away their luggage and began to travel lightly.

Not only that, even the team's baggage was abandoned. Anyway, if they moved forward at full speed, everyone would be able to reach the Fengliu Town stronghold in less than a day.

By then, daily necessities and other supplies will be provided there, so there is no need for them to waste time on these things.

At the same time, Qing Ming also found a short sword for himself. Although it was not as good as the original one, it at least allowed him to continue to use his 'sword skills' to fight.

Of course, this kind of randomly found weapon must not be doped with precious chakra conductive metals.

Therefore, sword moves such as 'Instant Sword Technique' that require the transmission of chakra for coordination are definitely not possible.

If he wanted to use his full strength, he would eventually have to find a new main battle weapon.

And goal.

As early as when he developed the 'Instant Sword Technique', there was already a Kusanagi sword that was famous throughout the ninja world.

However, it would be difficult for him alone to find such a rare weapon.

What's more, he can't leave the front line at will.

'Perhaps, after I return this time, I can ask the clan to help me find him.'

Qing Ming thought in his mind that with the Uchiha clan's ability and connections, it shouldn't be a problem to find one or two.

And with the potential he has shown so far, I don't think anyone in the clan would mind doing this favor for him.

With a plan in mind, Qing Ming stopped thinking about it and quickly walked out of the large army, and began to move around and guard with other members of the combat group nearby.

This time, they did not stay away from the main force. Since they all knew that there were Iwa ninjas watching nearby, they naturally would not fall into the trap themselves.

As for the issue of exposing the whereabouts of large troops,

There is no need to consider this anymore.

Under the current circumstances, their exposure is almost inevitable.

In this way, instead of wasting time and energy on covering up, it is better to travel a little longer while Iwagakure Village is not ready yet!

In this way, some casualties may be reduced.

That's right, just reduce some casualties.

Whether it was Qingming or the other Jonin, they knew very well that Iwagakure Village would not let them leave so easily.

Therefore, one or several major wars are inevitable.

Once a battle breaks out, casualties are inevitable.

Now, they can only hope that Yanyin Village will respond slower and allow them to travel a little longer.

In this way, the probability and number of attacks they encounter along the rest of the way will be reduced, and the number of deaths will naturally be reduced.

However, their thoughts are good, but the reality is cruel.

Just when they were getting rid of the entanglement of the small group of Iwa nin around them and were about to leave the radiation range of this stronghold, Hinata Aoyama suddenly told them some bad news.

"The road ahead is blocked!"

Veins popped up on both sides of Hinata Aoyama's eyes. He looked directly through the jungle and rocks and saw the scene a few hundred meters away.

Qing Ming and other jounin gathered together again, and someone asked: "How many enemies are there and what are their strengths?"

Hinata Aoyama observed for a while and replied: "There are about a hundred people, less than ten jounin, and about half of the chunin."

"etc."

As he was speaking, he suddenly paused and looked first at the two o'clock direction, and then at the ten o'clock direction.

Finally, he spoke quickly: "Two more teams of Iwa ninja are approaching, and their overall strength is similar to that of the ones blocking the road ahead."

In fact, Byakugan's field of view is 360 degrees, and there is no need to turn your head when observing.

But the habit he usually develops still makes Hinata Aoyama unconsciously face there when he focuses on a certain direction.

However, this also has an advantage, that is, Qing Ming and others can clearly know which direction he is talking about.

Nara Surabaya glanced at the two o'clock and ten o'clock directions.

Then I compared the nearby maps in my mind and determined that there were two roads leading to the outside world in those two directions.

After thinking for a moment, he said with certainty: "It seems that the Iwa Ninja has blocked all our escape routes in advance. Now these two teams are probably coming here temporarily after confirming that we want to take this road."

After saying that, before anyone else could speak, he ordered: "Notify everyone and be prepared. We will rush over in one go."

When the others heard this, they were stunned for a moment, but soon understood what he meant.

This was to forcefully break through the blockade before the Iwa ninja formed an encirclement.

Indeed, only in this way can they escape danger temporarily.

But if you stay here, you will get dumped sooner or later.

With this thought, everyone no longer wasted time and immediately dispersed to the entire team and began to prepare for the next storming level.

Qing Ming and other jounin of the battle group came to the front of the team, acting as spearheads, ready to deal with the Iwa Ninja's attacks at will.

The team's formation was adjusted quickly, and before the Iwa ninjas at the two o'clock and ten o'clock directions could approach, they had already set off.

The distance between the two sides kept shortening.

500 meters.

300 meters.

100 meters

Soon, Qingming saw more than a hundred fully armed rock ninjas at the end of his sight.

They stood on the big trees on both sides of the road, staring at this side with their eyes full of vigilance.

Obviously, Qingming and others' desperate rush to the barrier also brought them a lot of psychological pressure.

The distance between the two sides continued to shorten.

80 meters.

50 meters.

30 meters.

20 meters!

Just when the distance between the two sides was within 20 meters, a loud shout suddenly came from the rock ninja: "Fire!"

The next moment, dense kunai shot like raindrops.

The powerful insight of the Sharingan allowed Qingming to keenly see some detonating tags in it.

If these kunai fell into the team, not to mention whether they would cause casualties, the exploding detonating tags alone would be enough to disrupt the formation.

'Don't let them get close! ’

With a thought, Qingming quickly completed the seals with both hands, and then took a deep breath until his chest swelled up, and then he exhaled violently.

A large amount of wind chakra wrapped the air in front of him, spinning rapidly, forming a hurricane like a natural disaster.

For a moment, let alone the kunai, even the nearby trees and the rock ninjas in the back could not stand and were blown to the ground.

"What kind of ninjutsu is this?"

In the howling wind, some rock ninjas could be vaguely heard shouting in fear.

It's no wonder that they were so panicked, because the 'Wind Style: Great Breakthrough' that Qingming performed this time was too terrifying.
