Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

"Qingming, it's getting late, should we go back?"

Just when Qingming was thinking about how much his chakra recovery speed would increase after the next transformation of his body and the improvement of his 'physique' attribute, Uchiha Tiehuo's voice suddenly came.

Qingming was awakened, looked up, and saw that the sunset in the sky was about to fall below the sea level, so he stopped thinking about it, stood up, and said: "Let's go!"

While speaking, he closed the proficiency panel.

"Yeah."

Uchiha Tiehuo also responded.

Then, the two stepped on the sea water and ran to the forward base together.

On the way, Uchiha Tiehuo was still talking about the previous sparring and asked him about the relevant skills.

If nothing else, just this attitude made Qingming willing to give him guidance.

Of course, this is also a win-win situation.

He wanted to quickly accumulate the proficiency of 'Phantom Sword Technique' and 'Instant Sword Technique' and improve their levels. In addition to fighting with the Mist Ninja, he kept practicing.

And how can the proficiency accumulated by practicing alone be faster than that of sparring with others?

Although Uchiha Tiehuo's strength is average, with the existence of Sharingan, he can barely be his opponent.

That is why Qingming will not tire of guiding him in his practice.

Otherwise, even if the other party's surname is Uchiha, he will not waste this time.

"Qingming, just in the third battle, you stabbed from the side, I clearly saw it through the Sharingan, it was just a fake move, why did it become real later?"

"That's because..."

"."

In the sea breeze.

The voices of the two people talking came intermittently.

In this question and answer, the two returned to the forward base.

After saying goodbye to each other, Qingming returned to his residence - the simple courtyard!

As soon as he entered the door, Qingming opened the Sharingan as usual, scanned the layout of the courtyard and the house, and confirmed that no one broke in, and then he was completely relieved.

It's not that he is sensitive, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Now, his reputation is getting bigger and bigger.

On the black market, his bounty has risen to 32 million taels, only 3 million taels less than Asuma's later bounty.

I don't know whether the black market found that the Kusanagi sword of the leader of the Artisan Village fell into his hands, and realized that he had intercepted the thing, so they increased the bounty themselves, or whether it was the order of the Hidden Mist Village.

In short, his bounty is very high now, and there are many people who want his life, so he must act carefully.

Back to the house.

Qingming washed up a little, got something to fill his stomach, and began to seize the time to perform the "Palm Fairy Technique" to strengthen his body.

During the day, he would naturally practice this technique.

But the "Palm Fairy Technique" takes time to strengthen the body, and the plan of 240 times a day is not something that can be completed during the day.

Therefore, at night, he had to work overtime.

In addition, the number of times that the "Reflection Heart Technique" was not completed during the day must also be performed at night.

Therefore, every night, he almost has to practice until very late.

Today is no exception.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Soon, time came to midnight.

After performing the last "Reflection Heart Technique", Qingming let out a long sigh, and then fell asleep without thinking.

However, just when he was sleeping soundly, there was a knock on the door.

Dong Dong Dong~

In an instant, Qingming opened his eyes. Although there was still some fatigue between his eyebrows, the light in his eyes was shining.

Qingming glanced out the window, and it was still a starry sky.

Obviously, it had not been long since he fell asleep.

Dong Dong Dong~

The knock on the door sounded again, and the rhythm was a little more urgent than before.

Just from this knock on the door, Qingming could conclude that the person outside the door must be very anxious.

This thought flashed through his mind, and Qingming didn't think about it anymore. He reached out and took the clothes next to him. After quickly putting them on, he picked up the Kusanagi sword on the table and came to the yard.

Finally, before the yard door was knocked for the third time, he opened the yard door.

Creak~

The sound of wood rubbing sounded.

Qingming opened the courtyard door and looked out. He saw a Konoha ninja standing outside the door with a hint of anxiety on his face.

His eyes swept across the other person's face, and Qingming recognized the other person's identity. He was a messenger Chunin next to the Uchiha Jonin who was in charge of the base.

"Qingming Jonin!"

Seeing Qingming come out, the Konoha Chunin immediately greeted him.

"Yeah."

Qingming nodded, without any nonsense, and asked directly: "You came to see me so late, what happened?"

The Konoha Chunin was not surprised that Qingming guessed that something had happened.

After all, he came so late, he couldn't be idle, right? There was no other possibility except for an emergency.

He calmed his breath a little, and then replied quickly: "It's like this, not long ago, the border command sent a message that the Hidden Mist Village launched an attack on the northern defense line an hour ago, and the battle was quite fierce."

"The northern defense line again?"

Qingming heard the words and murmured.

If he remembered correctly, the Kirigakure troops that ambushed them a month ago broke through the northern defense line.

That time, it was basically certain that Danzo ordered his ninjas hiding in the northern defense line to cooperate.

So what about this time?

Is it another conspiracy of Danzo? Or was the hidden danger left by the deliberate cooperation last time used by the Kirigakure?

For a moment, Qing Ming couldn't figure out what was going on.

But one thing needs to be clarified, and that is why the other party dares to do this.

You know, the purpose of Konoha setting up their advance base is to prevent Kirigakure Village from advancing the war into the Land of Fire.

As long as this forward base does not fall, no matter which section of the three defense lines the Kirigakure Village attacks on the Fire Country border, they will eventually be outflanked from behind.

Qing Ming didn't believe that Wuyin Village couldn't see this, but the other party did it, and it seemed that it was not a trivial matter.

In addition, during the past period of patrolling, they did not notice any small movements in Kirigakure Village, so the other party must have gone far away.

In this way, the two are superimposed, and the other party is obviously prepared.

This made Qing Ming even more confused.

"Seimei Jounin?"

Just when Qing Ming was deep in thought, the Konoha Chuunin in front of him called out.

"oh."

Qing Ming came back to his senses and said, "You continue."

However, when the Konoha chuunin heard this, he just shook his head and said, "That's all I know. The captain asked me to call you over for a meeting. If you have any questions, you can ask the captain."

"Is this so"

Qing Ming nodded and said, "Okay, let's go!"

While talking, he locked the courtyard door, and then hurried to the conference room with the other party.

At the same time, there were many jounin who were suddenly awakened like Qingming. After roughly understanding the whole story, they immediately rushed to the conference room.

In this way, when Qing Ming arrived, many people had gathered here.
