Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Walking on the street from the village to the Hokage Building, Qingming observed his surroundings while pondering in his heart.

Soon, he arrived in front of the Hokage Building.

Slightly tidying his clothes, Qingming walked straight in.

He first led the team to complete the task handover in the lobby and mission office on the first floor.

Then, he went up to the second floor alone and arrived at the Hokage's office.

For such important tasks, the person in charge usually needs to meet with the Hokage in person to describe the various aspects of the task.

This is both to strengthen the relationship between the Hokage and the village's top Jonin, and to provide a reference for the Hokage to judge the overall situation of the ninja world.

The exchange between the two sides went smoothly. Minato Namikaze did not mention anything about Danzo, but only asked about some details of this mission.

After the main business was over, he began to ask about things outside the mission.

For example, his views on some of the village's systems, what he wanted to say, and so on.

In short, it could be seen that he wanted to carry out a reform in the village.

However, Qingming had no intention of participating in it.

As everyone knows, since ancient times, reform has been the most difficult, no matter in which world.

It is said that it is easy to shake the soul, but difficult to shake the interests.

Reform is about touching the interests of some old factions and distributing them to a new group of people.

And this will inevitably lead to a counterattack from the groups whose interests are damaged.

Admittedly, Minato Namikaze is supported by most of the young people in the village.

However, as long as the older generation is not dead, his reform will not be easy.

Qingming didn't want to plunge into this bottomless vortex.

Indeed, with his current strength, he doesn't have to worry about being plotted against or retaliated against.

But if he can practice quietly, why would he cause himself trouble?

Therefore, after Minato Namikaze hinted, he decisively refused.

In this way, the two chatted for a while, and Qingming said goodbye and left.

He first went to a familiar shop, had a good meal, and then returned to the Uchiha clan's territory.

However, before he could enter his house, he was stopped by someone who said that Fugaku Uchiha was looking for him.

Reluctantly, Qingming had to go to the other party's residence first.

On the way, he kept thinking about what the other party wanted him for.

After some thought, he felt that it should still be related to Minato Namikaze's reform.

Because with the current relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village, it can only be completely changed through a reform.

And as a leader who is always swaying between conservatism and radicalism, Fugaku Uchiha naturally wants to seize every opportunity now that he sees the hope of peacefully resolving the problem.

Unfortunately, the other party has asked the wrong person.

Because he has clearly refused to participate in this vortex.

Facts have proved that his guess was correct.

Walking into Fugaku Uchiha's residence, after meeting the other party, he chatted with him about some family matters, and then began to subtly ask whether Minato Namikaze had asked him about this matter.

In his words, he did not hesitate to ask him to fight for the interests of the Uchiha clan.

Qingming didn't want to deal with the other party falsely, so he directly told the other party his decision.

This made Fugaku Uchiha's face change for a while, seeming very dissatisfied with his giving up this opportunity.

But in the end, he didn't say much.

The two exchanged greetings for a while, and Qingming said goodbye and left.

Walking out of Fugaku Uchiha's residence, Qingming originally planned to go back directly, but after thinking about it, he changed his direction and went straight to the Uchiha clan's secret room.

He has a pass issued by the Great Elder, which allows him to read and learn various collections inside without restriction.

From the beginning of obtaining this order, he has not used it once.

At that time, he had too many skills to practice, and he had just obtained Danzo's collection, so he was not in a hurry.

But now, with the passage of time, most of the skills on the panel have been maxed out by him, and the Seven Tails provides him with extra chakra, it is time for him to learn the secret ninjutsu of the Uchiha clan.

The first is the life-saving skill—Izanagi.

Indeed, he has the ability of 'Ame no Minaka', which can largely avoid life-and-death crises.

But it is not invincible after all, and maybe some ninjutsu or other things that restrain it will come out someday.

So, 'Izanagi' still needs to be learned.

At least, it can give him one more life-saving ability.

And he will not refuse the ability to save his life.

As for the cost of performing this technique…

Logically speaking, when people are about to die, they don't need to care whether an eye is blind.

What's more, the consequences it causes are not permanent blindness.

From the basic certainty of Madara Uchiha's later restored eyes, as long as the Sharingan is raised to the level of Rinnegan, this price can be ignored.

And can he do this?

In this regard, he, who has a proficiency panel, is extremely convinced of this!

In addition to 'Izanagi', he is also preparing to learn the corresponding pupil technique—Izanami!

It is foreseeable that in this life, with his existence, the Uchiha clan will probably not be exterminated.

In this way, 'Izanagi' may be exposed to the outside.

Therefore, he must master the means to restrain it, even if it also costs the blindness of a Sharingan.

Having a sword in hand and not using it is a completely different concept from not having a sword in hand.

Qingming didn't want to be surprised when the time came, and then realized that he didn't have corresponding means.

He still hopes that everything will be prepared in advance.

In this way, he will not panic in his heart.

Converging his thoughts, Qingming looked at the third target—Transcription Seal!

That's right, it is this sealing technique that requires the pupil power of the Kaleidoscope Sharingan to be used.

This technique can pre-seal specific techniques or pupil techniques into the eyes and body of others or oneself, and then trigger them through relatively clear conditions.

This technique and 'Izanagi' are a perfect match, and he naturally wants to learn it.

However, practicing this technique requires continuous consumption of pupil power. Although it is not unrecoverable, it also means that he cannot quickly increase its level by smashing chakra.

It is destined to only continue to accelerate its growth with the improvement of his pupil power.

Taking this technique and putting it away, Qingming came to another secret technique.

It is not any other ninjutsu, but the A-level ninjutsu—Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change!

This technique can instantly reflect the enemy's illusion back to the enemy if it can see through the enemy's illusion.

A long time ago, his Sharingan could already see through the illusions performed by others, but because he lacked this high-level secret technique, he could not immediately counter it.

Now that he has learned it, when he maxes it out, he will definitely be able to ignore most of the illusions.

Looking at the four newly acquired secret techniques, Qingming couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's still good that the Uchiha clan was not exterminated!"

Otherwise, he would have to spend a lot of effort to collect these secret techniques. The heritage of a thousand-year-old family cannot be ignored!

This is still the result of Madara Uchiha's search, otherwise the Uchiha clan's collection of books would be even richer.

Thinking of Madara Uchiha's several fire ninjutsu and other skills, Qingming made up his mind that if he had the opportunity in the future, he must dig up his grave.
