Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

A few minutes later.

The Konoha reconnaissance team came to Qingming. Qingming knew the special ninja who led the team. His name was Iwata Ikki, and he was a ninja who was good at intelligence gathering and perception.

Iwata Ikki saw Qingming and hurriedly said, "Qingming ninja, what happened here?"

As he spoke, he glanced around.

It can be seen that this place had just experienced a big battle not long ago. Although there may be only two people, the battle was very fierce.

Looking at the pile of ashes under Qingming's feet, Iwata Ikki basically understood the enemy's fate.

But what he wanted to ask was not what happened on this battlefield just now, but what happened in this entire area in the past period of time?

In fact, not long after the battle here, they set out from the base.

But they hurried and hurried, and finally did not encounter the enemy. Instead, they saw a lot of traces of battle along the way.

They even saw several bodies of Mist Hidden Ninjas cut in half in the most intense area.

In this way, combined with the situation he saw along the way, Iwata Ikki has roughly guessed the whole story, but Qingming still needs to confirm it in the end.

After all, he is the one who witnessed all this.

Hearing his question, 'Qingming' retracted his gaze from Hinata Ling, and then looked at Iwata Ikki, saying: "About ten minutes ago, when I was on a routine patrol, I found a Mist Ninja squad here. From their appearance, they were planning to raid the base, so I took action. The movement just now was me and them fighting."

That's right, Qingming pushed back the time when he found the Mist Ninja by dozens of minutes, and at the same time did not explain why he took action directly without reporting to the base.

However, now that the enemies have been solved by him, these problems are no longer a problem.

After all, if you have to say it, it can also be explained that he thinks this place is close enough to the Black Stone Base and there is no need to report it specifically.

Or, he thinks that his strength is enough and there is no need to ask for support.

Wait~

In short, the enemy is dead, it's time to eat and drink.

As if he had heard the meaning of Qingming's words, Iwata Ikki skipped these questions and began to ask about the enemy's strength and number, as well as the process of the fight.

Qingming did not hide anything and answered in detail.

As for the subsequent investigation and evidence collection, analysis of the enemy's intentions, etc., Qingming did not need to participate.

So, after completing the simple communication, he lifted the "Shadow Clone Technique" and returned to his body with the corresponding memories.

······

On the other side.

Qingming was flying, and suddenly some more memories appeared in his mind.

After quickly browsing through them, he muttered: "Still sensible!"

Seeing that Iwata Ikki did not get to the bottom of some things, Qingming was very satisfied and decided to save the other party appropriately if he encountered danger later.

Shaking his head, Qingming quickly put all these things behind him, began to turn around, and flew to the northwest with all his strength.

Just now, he received a message from another shadow clone, who found a lone Mist Ninja team on the battlefield northwest of the Black Stone Stronghold and asked him to rush over immediately.

Thanks to the super-fast flying speed of the ‘Wind Style: Wind Wings’, even if the two sides were dozens of kilometers apart, Qingming did not delay this opportunity.

In about two minutes and less than three minutes, Qingming arrived near the target location.

Before getting close to there, Qingming focused his attention and opened the white eyes between his eyebrows.

Suddenly, everything within a kilometer radius came into his sight.

Qingming quickly looked at the area mentioned by the shadow clone, and indeed saw three Mist Ninjas there - one special jonin and two chunins.

From their appearance, it seemed that they had just experienced a big battle and were taking a short rest.

Qingming used the ‘heart-to-heart technique’ to connect with the shadow clone who had just sent him a message. In order not to alert the enemy, the other party did not stay nearby.

Now, people are already above other battlefields.

However, Qingming did not contact the other party to ask for his support. It was just a jonin and two chunnin. With his strength, he could easily deal with them.

He contacted the other party just to find out whether these three people had just experienced a big battle as he expected.

If so, he could be more aggressive.

After a few breaths, Qingming stopped the "heart-to-heart technique".

Just as he expected, these people had indeed experienced a big battle not long ago.

That was why the shadow clone discovered their tracks.

'In that case.'

Qingming did not waste any more time and directly performed the "earth escape·hardening technique" and "chakra feather clothing". After putting on two layers of protection for himself, he flew directly to the place where the three people were hiding at full speed.

······

Below.

In the forest.

Yuhua was treating her injuries.

Recalling the battle just now, if she had not had a sudden inspiration and used the "water clone" to deceive the opponent, she would probably be dead now.

But, if she could deceive once, could she deceive twice or three times?

This time she was lucky and encountered an opponent with poor perception, but what about next time?

If she suddenly encountered an opponent with strong perception, wouldn't she be dead?

Even if she didn't encounter such an opponent, when would this meaningless war stop? Would it continue like this?

Inexplicably, Yuhua felt confused about her future.

Unlike ninjas from other ninja villages, the mental state of ninjas is generally not very good because the Kirigakure Village has been implementing a high-pressure policy for many years.

This may not cause any trouble in normal times, but there is great terror between life and death. Yuhua, who had just experienced a life-and-death situation, obviously began to have wild thoughts.

And just when she was distracted, a breath violently broke into her perception range.

In an instant, she shuddered and quickly stood up, intending to call two Chunin subordinates to be alert.

However, before she could speak, Qingming had already appeared in her field of vision.

"Ghost Sword Qingming?!"

In an instant, Yuhua recognized Qingming's identity.

So, she fled without any hesitation.

That's right, she fled.

She didn't even remind the two subordinates, and almost turned around and fled the moment she recognized Qingming.

In the sky, seeing this scene, even Qingming couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, secretly saying: "Am I so scary? And, do you have to be so cowardly?"

Although the other party is a relatively rare female ninja, she shouldn't be so weak!

In fact, Qingming didn't know that Yuhua had a problem with her mind. It just happened that he, an unmatched opponent, appeared, which made her react instinctively.

If she escaped, she would most likely become a new rebel from the Hidden Mist Village.

There was no way, the blood mist policy of the Hidden Mist Village was indeed too abnormal.

If a ninja trained in this way had a problem with his mind, it would almost be inevitable that he would become a rebel.

However, this premise was that he could escape.

Qingming took his eyes off Yuhua and didn't think about it anymore. He flapped his wings fiercely, and the whole person fell in front of the two Hidden Mist Chunins who had just stood up like a flash of lightning.

Qingming's palm became a knife, and the 'Chakra Scalpel' was instantly used, cutting off the right hand muscles of one of them, causing the kunai he had just taken out to fall to the ground.

At the same time, he turned his head to the right and looked at the other person. At the moment when the two people's eyes crossed, he used the 'Genjutsu Sharingan' to control him in place.

The Mist Hidden Ninja who lost control of his right arm wanted to struggle, but Qingming grabbed his neck.

The long-prepared ‘Chakra Absorption Technique’ was used, and in just a few seconds, Qingming drained his chakra, mental energy, and physical energy.

Bang~

Letting his body fall to the ground, Qingming flashed to another person and did the same, starting to extract his chakra.

A few seconds later, another body fell to the ground.

Qingming raised his hand to form a seal, and habitually used the ‘Fire Style: Susho no Jutsu’ to burn the bodies of the two.

After doing this, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately used the ‘Instant Body Technique’ to chase in the direction where Yuhua left.
