Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Standing quietly in place, Qingming watched several Root Ninjas tacitly surround him without moving an inch.

And several Root Ninjas did not show any courtesy to him. After completing the encirclement, they immediately raised their hands to form seals and cast the "Sealing Array" to trap him.

For the general "Sealing Array", when a single person casts it, four sealing talismans need to be prepared in advance, which is more suitable for ambush.

However, if four people cooperate to cast it, the step of preparing sealing talismans can be omitted, and the creatures within the range of the array can be directly bound.

Obviously, they are planning to strike first.

Unfortunately, Qingming did not give them this opportunity at all.

Almost at the moment when they raised their hands to form seals, Qingming took a step forward, his body turned into a residual shadow, and in an instant he came in front of a Root Ninja.

Swish~

A flash of sword light appeared.

The short sword in his hand was like a poisonous snake, piercing the heart of the Root Ninja.

Although these Root Ninjas were not afraid of death, they would not die in vain.

At this time, even if he insisted on casting the spell, he might not be able to cooperate with several teammates to complete the "Sealing Array" before he died.

Therefore, without any hesitation, he decisively gave up the seal and dodged to the back.

But for some reason, he had clearly decided to give up, but his movements were a beat slower and he persisted for a moment longer.

Result

Puchi~

The sound of a sharp blade entering the flesh sounded.

The face of the Root Ninja under the mask suddenly changed, and when he looked down, he saw a short sword inserted into his heart.

"What's going on?"

The Root Ninja was full of doubts.

Then, he looked up and saw Qingming's scarlet Sharingan.

In an instant, he understood that he should have been hit just now.

The fact is indeed so.

At the moment when the sword was drawn just now, Qingming used the Sharingan to cast the "Phantom Sword Technique", which confused his senses.

The action he saw was a little slower than what happened in the real world, which caused him to give up a little later.

In a duel between masters, opportunities are fleeting, and such a small flaw was enough for Qingming to take his life.

Swish~

Qingming drew out his short sword and dodged the kunai and shuriken thrown by the other Root ninjas.

At the same time, he also dodged the self-explosion of the Root ninja in front of him.

Yes, it was a self-explosion.

The opponent realized that he was about to die, and immediately activated the detonating tag hidden on his body, trying to drag him to death.

Unfortunately, all this was visible in the Sharingan.

Qingming dodged it with a flash.

Boom~

A violent explosion sounded.

The Root ninja instantly turned into a fireball, dispelling the darkness around him.

With the help of the firelight, Qingming glanced at the remaining Root ninjas.

However, he did not see any anger or sadness about the death of his companions in their eyes, but only coldness and numbness.

"Mission tools?"

Qingming murmured, waving the short sword in his hand, and knocked away several kunai that were shot at him again.

Although he killed one of the opponents unexpectedly, the remaining few must have been mentally prepared and would definitely be difficult to deal with.

'Unless.'

Qingming raised his left hand and touched his left eye. Unless he used 'Heaven's Guard', it would be difficult to quickly deal with several people.

But in the battle tonight, he had used 'Heaven's Guard' too many times. If he used it again, it would definitely put a lot of burden on his body.

At the same time, it would also make his left eye one step closer to blindness.

Qingming did not forget that Sasuke later, after awakening the Mangekyō, crazily squeezed his pupil power, and soon his eyes had problems.

He did not want to end up like this, but.

If he continued to delay, there might be changes!

As the saying goes, the longer the night, the more dreams there are.

Qingming didn't want to waste too much time on these root ninjas. The longer he entangled with them, the more likely they would pass on information.

This was something Qingming was unwilling to accept.

In addition, his chakra was really "not much" and could not withstand continuous consumption.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to fight quickly!

As for the problem of eyes.

According to his previous calculations, it would only take more than two years, at most three years, for his Mangekyō Sharingan to be advanced.

By then, there would be no need to worry about blindness.

With this thought, Qingming no longer hesitated and immediately rushed towards several root ninjas.

Seeing him rushing over, several root ninjas did not waste words and immediately came up to him, and the battle broke out instantly.

Ding Ding Dang Dang~

The short sword and kunai collided in succession, making a series of crisp sounds.

Although Qingming has decided to use the "Heavenly Guardian" to end the battle as soon as possible, he still has to save his pupil power.

He only needs to use the "Heavenly Guardian" at the most critical moment to avoid fatal attacks and then complete the counterattack.

It is completely unprofitable to foolishly open the "Heavenly Guardian" to confront the enemy head-on, and it is easy for others to see the clues.

Although Qingming does not think they can have any countermeasures, it is always right to be cautious.

Ding~

After blocking the attack of a root ninja again, Qingming's eyes suddenly condensed and instantly opened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

The next moment, his eyes changed from the three-magatama form to the strange form of the black sun.

With the powerful insight of the Mangekyo, Qingming clearly saw the astonishment in the pupils of the two Root Ninjas in front of him.

Obviously, they didn't know why his Sharingan had changed like this, nor did they know what it meant.

And they didn't have the chance to know.

Without rushing to use "Heaven's Guard", Qingming raised his hand and first cast "Genjutsu Sharingan", instantly pulling one person's consciousness into the illusion.

Then, he used the hypnotic ability of the Sharingan itself to freeze the other person.

Whoosh~ Whoosh~

Two kunai flew out of his hand and shot at the two fixed targets.

Without waiting for the result, after throwing the kunai, he used "Heaven's Guard" to leave the ninja world, and his body turned into a bubble and disappeared.

And almost at the moment he used "Heaven's Guard", a Root Ninja behind him held a kunai and pierced his body.

Unfortunately, it was just an afterimage.

The feeling of not hitting the real body made the Root Ninja's heart jump, and he quickly scanned around to search for Qingming's real body.

At this moment, a chill suddenly struck his heart, making his hair stand on end.

Without any hesitation, he held the kunai with his backhand and swung it backwards.

In his peripheral vision, he saw Qingming standing behind him, and the dagger in his hand swung at his neck.

"Fortunately, it's not too late!"

As soon as this thought came up, the Root Ninja saw the kunai in his hand pass through Qingming's body, but still did not hit the real body.

And Qingming's dagger chopped his neck firmly.
