Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Because of the significant increase in speed, Qing Ming's journey, which was originally estimated to take twenty minutes, was back in less than ten minutes.

Outside the Blackstone Stronghold.

On a position.

As soon as Sen Muzhe saw Qing Ming returning safely, he immediately went to greet him.

on the sky.

Qing Ming also saw the other party.

However, he did not go down. Instead, he used his 'mind-talking technique' on the spot and roughly described what happened on the sea.

Tell the other party that the Kirigakure army will most likely not be able to come before Sano Nobuhisa returns.

However, he did not let the other party relax his vigilance.

Because he didn't know whether Yushu Osawa would take the risk, abandon the large army, and send a small force, regardless of the consumption of chakra, across the sea to raid the Black Stone stronghold first.

Although this possibility is unlikely, when the two armies are fighting, the most taboo thing is negligence.

Therefore, even if there is the smallest possibility, he must make a reminder.

After receiving Qingming's reminder, Moriki Tetsuya immediately promised: "Don't worry, we won't be careless."

"Um."

Qing Ming nodded and said nothing more.

After cutting off the connection with the 'Tongxin Jutsu', he flew towards the south of the stronghold in the direction where Yasuda Akiju and others were coming.

Watching Qing Ming's leaving figure, Mori Mu Tetsuichi didn't waste any time and immediately went down to prepare to deal with the small force of Kirigakure that might appear.

······

at the same time.

South of Blackstone Stronghold.

Yasuda Akiju and others, who were still some distance away from the Black Stone stronghold, finally received the information from Osawa Yuki.

Looking at the information in his hand, Yasuda Qiuju's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Originally, he thought the situation was bad enough, but he never thought that the situation would be even worse than he expected.

"Damn Uchiha Seimei."

Yasuda Qiuju balled up the information in her hand and said through gritted teeth.

According to the information from Captain Osawa, they were unable to reach the Black Stone stronghold first because of Uchiha Qingming's obstruction.

Therefore, next, there is no need to think about the joint attack.

Osawa Yuki ordered him to immediately adjust his direction of advance, avoid the Black Stone stronghold first, and then attack them together after they reunited with them.

This made Yasuda Qiuju very unwilling.

Although he had basically given up the idea of ​​raiding the Blackstone stronghold, he was still expecting a miracle to happen.

Otherwise, he would not have marched straight towards the Black Stone Stronghold.

But now, Osawa Yushu clearly told him that the miracle could not happen.

This made him feel depressed.

After a long time, Yasuda Qiuju finally recovered.

He looked at Yukio Yokoyama next to him and said in a slightly tired tone: "Yukio, notify each unit and prepare to adjust the direction of advance."

With the lesson learned last time, Yokoyama Yukio didn't talk nonsense this time. After hearing Yasuda Akiku's order, he immediately went down to prepare.

So, soon, Kirigakure's direction of travel changed slightly. Although it was still approaching the Black Stone stronghold, it was still a bit off.

If this continues, they will eventually miss the Black Stone Stronghold and appear directly to its east, near the sea.

rear.

Yamanaka Aoi and others looked at the Kirigakure team that suddenly changed direction and felt a little puzzled, but in the end they followed them.

At this time, they had more than two detachments, and the rapid support force sent by Sano Nobuhisa had already joined them.

Therefore, they are not worried about the conspiracy of the Mist Ninja.

······

Time passes minute by minute.

About five minutes later.

Qingming appeared above Kirigakure's team.

"Eh!"

Looking at the direction they were heading, Qing Ming let out a light sigh, seeming a little confused as to why they chose this direction.

But after thinking about it for a moment, he understood what these people were planning, and he also guessed the cause and effect.

Shaking his head, Qing Ming didn't pay much attention.

After hovering above it for several times, Qing Ming stopped lingering and continued to move backwards, and soon found the location of Yamanaka Aoi and others.

From them, Qingming learned the whereabouts of the large army led by Sano Nobuhisa.

As he expected, at their current traveling speed, although they could not reach the Black Stone Stronghold before Yasuda Akiku and others, they could definitely return before Osawa Yuki and others arrived.

That's enough.

below.

After Yamanaka Aoi told the latest news, she immediately asked Qingming about the situation in the stronghold and whether another group of enemies had arrived.

Regarding these two issues, Qing Ming did not hide anything.

He spoke quickly and spent a little time briefly describing the situation in the stronghold.

By the way, he also told the story of how he blocked Osawa Yuki and others not long ago, to reassure them.

Sure enough, when he told the other party that the other team of Mist Ninjas would most likely not be able to reach the Black Stone Stronghold before them because of his surprise attack, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, the two sides communicated for a while, and Qingming left the place and flew towards the direction of the large army led by Sano Nobuhisa.

He has done so many things, so he naturally has to report to Nobuhisa Sano, the top commander of the stronghold. Putting aside the issue of credit, intelligence communication alone is very necessary.

Otherwise, if the other party makes some stupid decision due to lack of intelligence, he might have to wipe his ass in the end, and Qing Ming doesn't want to waste this time.

So, it is better to avoid this problem from the beginning.

In addition, he also needs a relatively safe place to restore his own chakra.

And nearby, is there any place safer than staying in the large army?

Thanks to accurate intelligence and the flying speed of the lv5 "Wind Style·Wind Wings", Qingming quickly found the traces of the large army.

Needless to say, after Qingming reported the relevant information to Sano Nobuhisa, he used the excuse of insufficient chakra in his body to mix in the large army and act with them.

······

In a flash.

Half an hour passed quietly.

Qingming and others finally returned to the Black Stone Base.

What he worried about before, that Osawa Yuki sent a small force to raid, did not happen. The situation in the base was the same as when he left more than half an hour ago.

And now, with the addition of the large army, Mori Mu Tetsuichi and others have less pressure to defend.

As for Akiku Yasuda and others

According to the news from Aoi Yamanaka and others, these people are now east of the Black Stone Base, near the coastline, and seem to be waiting for the arrival of Yuki Ozawa and others.

After learning this news, Nobuhisa Sano thought about whether to take the opportunity to surround and kill these people, or drive them away completely.

But in the end, after some deep thinking and familiarity, he gave up.

There is no other reason. First there was a big battle, and then there was a non-stop journey. Most of the Konoha ninjas were already very tired.

In this case, it is too risky to attack rashly.

Moreover, according to the latest intelligence, the fleet led by Yuki Ozawa is about to arrive, and they do not have enough time to surround and kill these Mist Ninjas.

In this case, it is better to leave this time for everyone to recover some strength and prepare for the subsequent battle.
