Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Swish~

A figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Teacher Furukawa!" ×3

Qingming, Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko saw the person coming and quickly stood up to greet him.

That's right, the person coming was none other than Furukawa.

As a jonin, Furukawa's mission was much heavier than theirs, so it was naturally impossible for him to stay with them all the time.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been bullied by a few Iwagakure Chunins just now.

"Teacher, is the battle over?"

Qingming glanced at the gradually subsiding fighting sounds in the distance and asked.

"Yeah."

Furukawa nodded, glanced at the three people, and said with relief: "You are all still alive, not bad!"

However, hearing his praise, Qingming and others were speechless.

Furukawa didn't care about this.

He was an experienced person and knew how they felt now.

Despite this, he still didn't choose to comfort or enlighten them.

In Furukawa's view, ninjas must endure what ordinary people cannot endure, otherwise they are not worthy of being called ninjas.

It is based on this concept that he never enlightens students in terms of ideology. Survival of the fittest is his principle.

After a moment of silence, Furukawa spoke again: "Pack up. The team will set off in about half an hour. If you are lucky, you will arrive at the base camp before dark. Then you can have a good rest."

After that, he left in a hurry.

"Okay, let's pack up."

After he left, Qingming said this, and then began to look for his package.

Because he had to stay outside for a long time this time, when he set off, in addition to carrying equipment and props, he also brought a lot of daily necessities such as clothes for replacement.

However, when he was fighting just now, he threw them away because they were in the way.

Fortunately, they were the winners and could find their things calmly.

Seeing Qingming start to act, Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko sorted out their moods and began to search for their own things.

About half an hour later.

The convoy set off again.

Only a small number of people were left to continue cleaning the battlefield.

·······

It was night.

In the middle of a dense forest.

In a tent.

Qingming sat cross-legged, meditating and refining chakra.

At this time, he had arrived at Konoha's base camp in the Land of Rain.

According to Furukawa, their main task for the next period of time is to adapt to the battlefield environment and adjust their mentality.

During this period, there will be no heavy tasks.

There is no doubt that this is a rare opportunity for Qingming.

He can take advantage of this time to improve his strength to a higher level.

Judging from today's battle, without opening the Sharingan, his strength is only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary Chunin.

It's okay to fight alone, but if you encounter more than two enemies at the same time, it will be a bit dangerous.

Even if the enemy has no scruples and exerts all his strength, one person is enough to pose a slight threat to him.

Although this threat is not great, there is always the possibility of hurting him.

And if he uses the Sharingan, his strength should exceed that of most Chunins.

But Chunins are nothing on the entire battlefield.

Only by becoming a Jonin can you have a certain degree of self-protection.

But his current strength, even at full power, can never reach the level of a jonin.

Even if he is a second-rate special jonin, as long as he is not a pure auxiliary type, he will most likely not be an opponent.

Unless he can evolve the Sharingan to two magatama

But this will take at least several months.

He can wait, but the enemy will not wait.

Relying on this to improve strength is obviously not realistic.

Therefore, Qingming plans to divide a part of the chakra to improve the level of several fire escape ninjutsu and illusion.

In this way, the combat power can be improved in a shorter period of time.

In this way, the ability to protect oneself will naturally increase.

Although doing so will slow down the evolution of the Sharingan, if the life is lost, what is the use of the Sharingan.

Only if the life is saved first, there is a chance to talk about the future.

Otherwise, it is futile to say anything.

······

One month later.

The periphery of the base camp.

Four figures, one big and three small, are walking through the forest.

It can be seen that they are very cautious. Not only do they always observe the movements around them, but they also stop from time to time to check some hidden traps and signs.

These four people are none other than the 17th team composed of Furukawa, Qingming, Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko.

At this time, they are carrying out the patrol mission of guarding the base camp.

In other words, they have been carrying out this mission for the past month, but as time goes by, the defense area they are responsible for is becoming more and more important.

Of course, importance also means danger.

At first, they didn't encounter an enemy for ten days or half a month, and the mission was relatively easy.

But after they adapted to the battlefield environment and the area they were responsible for changed, the mission was not so easy.

Now, they will find traces of enemy invasion almost every few days.

Although most of the time, the enemy has already run away when they arrive, there are still a few times when the enemy has not had time to retreat.

At this time, you have to fight desperately.

None of the enemies who can be sent to perform the mission of lurking infiltration are good.

Therefore, every encounter can be described as dangerous.

Only their team leader is a real ninja, who can cover them to a certain extent.

Otherwise, the 17th class might have lost some members.

But it must be said that such an environment is very training.

Whether it is Qingming, Ryosuke, or Mizutani Shizuko, after this month's mission, the student spirit on them has disappeared, and only the capable is left.

Just like now, the four of them stopped, and without Gu Chuan's instructions, Qingming and the other two tacitly did their own things.

Qingming was responsible for vigilance, and Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko were responsible for checking nearby traps and signs.

Everything was so orderly.

After a while, Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko returned to the team and reported: "Teacher, no problem."

"Very good."

Gu Chuan nodded and said: "Let's go to the last point."

"Yes, teacher!" ×3

The four of them rushed to the last mission point.

Along the way, no one spoke unless necessary, and all four pairs of eyes paid attention to the surroundings, alert to any possible dangers.

Fortunately, they were lucky today.

After checking the last mission point, they did not find any traces of the enemy.

Qingming and the others all breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

After waiting for a while, they returned to the temporary station after completing the handover with the patrol team that came to change guards.

······

Late at night.

In the temporary station.

Qingming completed the performance of the "Reflection Heart Technique" again. After a moment, he opened his eyes, and a flash of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.

"Is this Lv4?"

Muttering, Qingming raised his hands again and began to make seals to perform the "Reflection Heart Technique".

The next moment, he saw his hands blooming, and the seals were completed. The speed was unimaginable.

Not only the casting speed, but also the promotion of the evolution of the Sharingan after the "Reflection Heart Technique" was upgraded to Lv4.

Qingming closed his eyes and carefully felt the process of the special chakra in his brain nourishing his eyes.

After a moment, when it disappeared, he made seals again and performed the "Reflection Heart Technique".

Just like this, over and over again.

After five full repetitions, Qing Ming stopped performing the technique.

At this moment, he only felt that his Sharingan had advanced one step from a single magatama to a double magatama.
