Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

"Faster! Faster!"

Yuhua ignored her own injuries and the consumption of chakra, and used her full strength to perform the 'Instant Body Technique' and ran wildly in the forest.

On the way, she looked back from time to time, as if she was afraid that Qingming would catch up.

However, what she feared came true. After just a few tens of seconds, she saw a ghostly figure. Who else could it be but Qingming?

At first glance, the other party was still far away, and in the blink of an eye, it was already more than ten meters closer.

At this speed, it would not take long for her to be caught up.

Yuhua, whose mentality had long been unbalanced, did not dare to meet Qingming at all. Her face turned fierce, and she immediately performed the 'Shadow Clone Technique', and her figure turned from one to three, and fled in three different directions.

Qingming frowned slightly when he saw this.

Under normal circumstances, performing the 'Shadow Clone Technique' was nothing. Even if her proficiency in the 'Shadow Clone Technique' was not as high as his, the chakra loss was at most only 10%.

But now, in this high-intensity chase, and with the subsequent battles that are likely to break out, the chakra consumed by the shadow clone will rise sharply.

By then, the chakra consumed will be more than 10%.

This is also the reason why the shadow clone is mostly used for reconnaissance rather than combat.

Under normal circumstances, no ninja will use the shadow clone in this way unless it is absolutely necessary, because this will not only waste chakra, but can only delay a little time at most.

In this case, it is better to keep these chakras and fight the enemy!

It can be said that with this, Yuhua's chances of winning have dropped by at least 30%, uh, although she didn't have much chance of winning in the first place.

But Qingming is not concerned about how stupid the opponent's choice is, he just feels sorry for the wasted chakra.

Now, the more chakra the opponent consumes, the less chakra he can absorb after he catches the opponent, how can this not make him feel sorry?

With this thought, Qingming did not hesitate at all, and immediately accelerated and chased after one of the figures.

Soon, he caught up with the opponent.

Without giving her time to react, he threw a shuriken directly, which collided with each other in the air like a celestial being scattering flowers, and finally all shot at Yuhua.

Looking at the shuriken all over the sky, Yuhua had no place to hide, and could only turn around and wave the kunai to block.

Ding ding dang dang~

A series of metal collisions sounded.

Sparks appeared, and shurikens were shot down by Yuhua and scattered around.

Seeing that all attacks were blocked, Yuhua was ready to continue to escape.

But at this moment, a sharp sound of tearing air came.

She glanced and saw a kunai shot out from Qingming's palm, and its speed was so fast that she had no time to react.

This was a kunai that Qingming was looking for an opportunity to accelerate using the 'Wind Style·Fierce Wind Palm'.

A strong sense of crisis came over her, and Yuhua twisted her body almost instinctively.

Whoosh~

The kunai flew past her body and failed to hurt her.

But the next moment, Qingming's figure with a green glow followed the kunai and appeared in front of her.

Swish~

The long sword swung out.

Yuhua wanted to block it.

Qingming seized the opportunity and used the "Illusion Sword Technique" to block the air.

The next moment, the long sword hit the opponent's body.

Bang~

A cloud of chakra smoke dissipated.

Yuhua's figure disappeared on the spot.

Obviously, this was just a shadow clone of the opponent.

Qingming saw this and said to himself: "Sure enough, my luck is average."

Fortunately, his series of actions did not waste too much time, and the other two were still within the observation range of his white eyes.

After locking the positions of the two, Qingming did not delay at all and chased them immediately.

As for why he did not also use the "Shadow Clone Technique" to chase separately,

It was not because his shadow clones were not enough.

Now, his "Shadow Clone Technique" is as high as level 6, which is enough to split into 30 shadow clones. Although many of them are patrolling over the battlefields, collecting and transmitting various intelligence, it is still easy to squeeze out two or three.

The reason why he didn't do this was that it was unnecessary.

The three were too close to him, and he could kill them one by one.

If he was lucky, he could find the other party's true body in less than three times. Even if he was unlucky, it wouldn't take long for the last one to find the other party's true body.

The second reason was that he didn't want to waste time.

It was said before that Yuhua consumed a lot of chakra by doing this. Although his proficiency in the "Shadow Clone Technique" was higher than that of the other party, if he exercised vigorously, he would also consume a lot of chakra.

The harvest this time might have been discounted, and Qingming would consume more chakra, so Qingming was naturally unwilling.

So, he chose the dumbest way and chased after them one by one.

Time continued to pass.

Soon, Qingming caught up with the second figure.

However, his luck today did not seem to be very good. After a brief fight, the opponent was dispersed by him again. This was another shadow clone.

Qingming's face was livid. Without any hesitation, he immediately chased after the third figure.

About three minutes later.

Qingming appeared in front of Yuhua.

At this time, Yuhua was still looking back, and she did not expect Qingming to appear in front of her and block her way.

Yuhua was shocked and raised her hands without any hesitation. She was about to repeat the old trick and use the "shadow clone technique" to escape again.

Although with her current chakra, it would take Qingming less time to catch up with her, but she didn't seem to think about it at all, and just wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.

However, she wanted to escape, but Qingming didn't want to play this game of chasing and escaping with him anymore, and didn't want to see him waste chakra anymore.

So, he kicked the ground hard, and the chakra in his body burst out, and there was a faint electric current wrapped around his body. This was the effect of 'Lightning Release·Lightning Body'.

Although its proficiency was only lv1, and the bonus provided was negligible, Qingming still used it.

Obviously, he used all his strength.

Therefore, almost in an instant, his speed soared to the limit and came in front of Yuhua. Qingming could even see Yuhua's horrified face.

However, he didn't show any mercy, and directly pointed out with one finger, hitting the opponent's chest.

The next moment, the chakra that seemed to be real burst out from his fingertips, accurately hitting the opponent's chest, the largest chakra node, or acupoint.

Suddenly, the chakra in her body was not flowing smoothly, and the "Shadow Clone Technique" failed to be performed. Her face turned pale and she almost vomited a large mouthful of blood.

This is not the end.

Qingming's footsteps were as fast as the wind, and his body was like a ghost. He pointed dozens of fingers around the opponent and almost sealed all her important acupuncture points before stopping.

Waves of piercing pain came from all parts of her body. Yuhua tried to mobilize chakra, but it felt like a small horse pulling a big cart - extremely difficult.

At this moment, she finally confirmed that she could not escape.

It was also at this time that she regained some of her spirit as a jonin.

Concentrating her mind, she no longer tried to mobilize chakra, but looked into Qingming's eyes.

After confirming that it was just a pair of Sharingan, she asked in a voice with a little curiosity in doubt: "You just used acupuncture, right? Isn't this a move of the Hyuga clan? Can the Sharingan also see the acupuncture points of the human body?"

Yes, Qingming just used the acupuncture of the Hyuga clan, but it was not in conjunction with the Sharingan, but with the white eyes at the center of the eyebrows.

However, he didn't want to explain anything to the other party. Although her current performance was much better than the previous panic escape, he still felt a little sorry for the chakra that was wasted.

So, let her be a fool!

With this thought, Qingming raised his hand to form a seal, performed the "Chakra Absorption Technique", and pinched her neck.

The next moment, strands of chakra gathered from all parts of the other party's body, and finally turned into a rushing stream, pouring into Qingming's body.

However, in just two or three seconds, the chakra in her body was drained by him.

Upon discovering this, Qingming thought to himself, "A lot of energy has indeed been wasted."

However, he still did not let go, but instead increased the force of extraction.

Suddenly, the spiritual energy and physical energy in her body began to gather, and he forcibly absorbed them into his body, merging them into his own chakra.

After a few seconds, the spiritual energy and physical energy in Yuhua's body were also drained by him, and the whole person lost his life and turned into a corpse.

Bang~

Qingming loosened his palm and let the other party's body fall to the ground.

Then, he raised his hand to form a seal and performed the ninjutsu - Fire Style: Sushokujutsu.

A ball of fire appeared and quickly engulfed the other party's body.

After doing this, he began to check his gains this time.
