Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

"Who is it? Come out!"

Seeing five of his men killed or injured in an instant, the leading Mist Hidden Ninja had an ugly look on his face. He shouted and used a ninjutsu towards the place where Qingming was hiding in the forest.

'Water Style: Exploding Water Wave~'

At this time, he didn't care about hiding. He used a big move as soon as he made a move, with the purpose of forcing Qingming out.

He jumped back and stood on a tree. A stream of water spit out from his mouth. The moment it landed, it turned into a wave and rushed towards the dense forest in front.

Along the way, whether it was flowers, trees, soil, rocks, etc., they were all swept away together.

In the forest.

Seeing this, Qingming was not surprised but happy.

There was no other reason. In the past period of time, he actually wanted to learn this ninjutsu.

The clearing effect of this technique was similar to the 'Wind Style: Great Breakthrough' that he performed with all his strength, and it could also create a lake filled with water vapor, greatly enhancing the subsequent water style ninjutsu, and its practicality was excellent.

Not to mention that this technique can be advanced to "Water Style·Big Explosion Water Rush Wave" when practiced to the limit, which is a rare A-level ninjutsu, Qingming is even more jealous.

Unfortunately, he has never had the opportunity to learn it.

And this time, the whole process of the opponent's technique was in his eyes. How could he miss such a good opportunity?

Almost without any hesitation, the moment the opponent made a move, Qingming, who was hiding in the forest, used the copying ability of the Sharingan.

Not only that, he also activated the Byakugan, and used the perspective ability to observe the flow of chakra in the opponent's body when the opponent cast the technique in a more meticulous manner, so as to assist the Sharingan in copying the opponent's ninjutsu.

Hard work pays off. With the cooperation of the two major pupil techniques, Qingming learned it as soon as the opponent cast this technique.

On his panel, a skill quietly appeared - Water Style·Big Explosion Water Rush Wave: lv1 (1/200)!

'I don't know if the opponent will be so angry that he will vomit blood after knowing this? '

Qingming thought in his heart, but his hands were not slow.

He quickly formed seals with both hands, and before the waves hit him, he performed the ninjutsu - Wind Style: Wings of Wind.

Swish~

A pair of light blue chakra wings appeared behind him.

Qingming flapped his wings, instantly moved away from the ground, rushed out of the dense forest, and flew into the sky.

Below, the water flowed through with great force, flattening a large area of ​​forest, but did not hurt Qingming at all.

Seeing Qingming in the sky, the face of the leading Mist Hidden Ninja suddenly changed.

It was not that he was afraid of Qingming, or that he was angry because the ninjutsu failed to hurt Qingming. This was within his expectations, and his goal was just to force out the enemy hiding in the dark.

Now, anyway, the goal has been achieved.

His face was so ugly, and the most important thing was that he was worried about the failure of the mission.

Although from the time he performed the "Water Style: Explosion Water Break", and even before Qingming performed the "Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique", they were destined to be unable to approach the Black Stone Stronghold quietly.

However, he still had some thoughts in his mind, hoping that the Konoha ninjas in the Black Stone Stronghold would not react so quickly.

In this way, they still have a chance.

But now, Qingming is flying in the sky.

If the other party does not entangle with them, leaves directly, and passes the message to the Black Stone Stronghold, then their mission will fail 100%.

Not only that, if the other party brings people to encircle and suppress them again, they may not even be able to escape.

Such a simple thing can be thought of by the leading Mist Hidden Ninja, and naturally others can think of it.

Therefore, everyone can't help but feel a little desperate.

Immediately, someone took action and prepared to keep Qingming.

However, what no one expected was that Qingming did not choose to leave, but flew straight towards them.

"Hmm? Good opportunity!"

Seeing this, the eyes of the Mist Ninjas lit up, and they immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to make up for it.

If Qingming could be kept, then there would be a glimmer of hope for their actions.

To put it another way, even if his mission failed after this, killing a future star of Konoha could greatly dampen the morale of the other party.

And they could also give an explanation to the village.

With this thought, almost all the Mist Ninjas took action.

Although Qingming's Byakugan could not read the target's thoughts, he could guess some of their thoughts by looking at the rapidly accelerating chakra flow rate in their bodies.

And this was exactly what Qingming needed.

From beginning to end, he had never thought of actively passing the message back.

Let alone how long it would take for others to come to support, if these Mist Ninjas were scared away and fled in different places, wouldn't he have lost a wave of chakra.

That's right, in Qingming's eyes, these people had become his prey to plunder chakra.

Therefore, he would never allow such a thing to happen.

Now, it was just right for them to take the initiative to attack.

In mid-air, Qingming looked at the dense kunai and shuriken shot at him, without any hesitation, he immediately raised his hand to seal and performed the ninjutsu - Earth Release·Hardening Technique!

A layer of light appeared on his body, as if nothing had changed, but in fact it was not.

At this moment, Qingming's skin defense reached an extremely exaggerated level.

At this time, if someone observed him through the Byakugan, they would be able to see that on the surface of his skin, there was a layer of extremely condensed earth escape chakra gathering, making it much harder than steel.

This was the effect of the 'Earth escape Hardening Technique' after it was promoted to perfection.

Not only does it not change his image and is quite hidden, it can also show different hardnesses depending on the amount of chakra he consumes in performing the technique and the degree of mastery of earth attribute chakra.

At Qing Ming's current level, if he uses this technique with all his strength, its defensive power is enough to withstand most attacks from ninja tools, even if someone uses Wind Release Chakra to increase the sharpness of the ninja tools.

During the time when the ninjutsu is in effect, unless he uses the thunder escape ninjutsu to restrain the earth escape, it will be difficult for him to break through the defense with a simple physical attack.

Just like now, Qingming directly withstood the attacks of a bunch of shurikens and kunai and rushed to a place less than four or five meters away from the Mist Ninja team.

Before the fog ninjas could react, Qing Ming raised his hand to form a seal, and at a dizzying speed, he performed a C-level ninjutsu—Thunder Release·Thunder Strike!

crackle~

He heard two lightning strikes that almost joined together, and he shot out a beam of electricity from the palms of his hands, accurately hitting two people in Kirigakure's team.

In just an instant, the two men were scorched black by the electricity and fell to the ground. Although they were not killed yet, they had already lost their fighting power.

"hateful!"

Seeing this scene, a special jounin in the team cursed secretly, then immediately formed a seal and performed a ninjutsu that Qingming was very familiar with.

He saw a water dragon emerging from the lake at the opponent's feet, rushing towards Qing Ming in the sky with unparalleled power.

Yes, this is the B-level ninjutsu - Water Release and Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu!

It can be seen that the opponent has a very high degree of mastery of this technique. If converted into panel proficiency, it should be at a level of lv6 close to the perfect level of lv7.

At the same time, his timing is also very good.

Qing Ming had just completed an attack and didn't want to fight head-on with the opponent, so he decided to let go, flap his wings, and fly away from the attack range of the opponent's condensed water dragon.

But at this moment, his Byakugan suddenly noticed that behind him, the leader Kirigakure Jōnin had completed the seal at some point and raised his right hand.

His index finger was extended, his thumb was raised high, and the other three fingers were retracted into the palm of his hand, assuming a shooting posture.

This familiar movement reminded Qingming instantly of the Jonin of the Ghost Light Clan who had fought against him - Ghost Light Zangetsu!

Although the opponent is good at using short swords, he has also performed several secret ninjutsu of the Oniden clan, including the 'Water Release: Water Iron Cannon Jutsu'. This iconic move is exactly the same as that of the Kirigakure jounin behind him. .

"It turns out he is a Jonin of the Oniden clan"

Qing Ming murmured in his mouth, his brain working rapidly.

Observing the angle at which the opponent released the ninjutsu, and recalling the attack power and speed of this technique, Qingming immediately decided to postpone his escape.

As soon as he thought about this, the wings he was about to flap stopped in mid-air.

The next moment, a water droplet like a bullet flew past him, leaving a long-lasting white mark in the air.

Qing Ming stopped decisively and avoided this fatal blow.

Behind him, when the Jonin of the Ghost Lantern clan saw this, his face showed a little regret, and at the same time he was a little confused. He seemed to be thinking, how did Qing Ming discover his sneak attack?

He had obviously done it very covertly, but Qing Ming just avoided it.

This puzzled him.

Of course Qing Ming will not explain to the other party. Now he has to face another trouble.

Because of the obstruction of the Jonin of the Ghost Lantern Clan, he missed the best opportunity to escape, and now he could only face off against the water dragon below.

"Hmph~ Trouble!"

Qing Ming snorted coldly, secretly thinking that there was trouble, and quickly raised his hand to form a seal, and almost before the water dragon came close, he performed the ninjutsu - Water Release: Shark Bullet Technique!

He saw a huge shark missile condensed from his hand, and the moment it took shape, he swallowed the huge water dragon like a noodle.

However, because the distance was too close, it was as if the water dragon took the initiative to get into the shark's mouth.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of the fog ninja below instantly changed from excitement to shock.

Before they could react, Qing Ming controlled the huge shark that had just swallowed the water dragon and swelled again to pounce down.
