Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Zi~

The dagger and kunai collided, making a harsh friction sound, and sparks burst between the blades, which showed the strength of both sides.

During the stalemate, Qingming looked up.

Under the black robe, there was a pale mask, and on the mask, there were four twisted lines like water, which was the symbol of the Hidden Mist Village.

Combined with the other party's dress, it is not difficult to guess that he should be an Anbu ninja from the Hidden Mist Village.

While Qingming was looking at the other party, the Hidden Mist Anbu was also looking at him.

Qingming seized the opportunity, and at the moment when the two sides looked at each other, he suddenly opened the Sharingan and activated the hypnotic ability of the Sharingan at the same time.

That's right, Qingming had never opened the Sharingan before.

This is not because he had hidden a trick for the Hidden Mist Anbu in front of Yinyan, but after his Sharingan evolved to three magatama, he could no longer gain evolution by opening his eyes and wasting time.

In order to avoid wasting chakra, he stopped keeping the Sharingan open for a long time a long time ago.

Of course, it is impossible to say that there is no calculation in this.

Qingming had thought about how to maximize the effectiveness of the Sharingan a long time ago.

The answer is to catch the opponent by surprise.

Therefore, in addition to saving chakra, Qingming did not open the Sharingan because he wanted to catch the opponent off guard.

Facts have proved that his idea was not wrong.

For example, now Qingming suddenly opened the Sharingan and used hypnosis. The Kirigakure Anbu had no time to react and was hit on the spot.

Taking this opportunity, Qingming turned his wrist, and the short sword brushed the opponent's kunai and pointed directly at the opponent's chest.

In fact, Qingming could aim at the opponent's neck artery, but in order to save the opponent's life, he did not choose to attack his vitals.

Swish~

The sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh and blood sounded.

Qingming's short sword cut through the chest of the Kirigakure Anbu, leaving a shallow scar.

That's right, it's just a shallow scar.

Qingming saw clearly that just at the critical moment, the other party broke free from the hypnotic effect of the Sharingan, and then almost instinctively took a half step back.

It was this half step that made him, who should have been seriously injured, only suffer a slight injury.

The Kirigakure Anbu ignored the injury on his chest, just looked at Qingming vigilantly, and said after a while: "Sharingan? Ninja of the Uchiha clan?"

His voice came through the mask, and it seemed a little dull.

Hearing this, Qingming didn't say much, and directly lifted the "transformation technique" and turned back to his original appearance of eleven or twelve years old.

Seeing Qingming's young age, the Kirigakure Anbu's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly covered it up.

Then, he heard him say: "Why did you pretend to be a rock ninja and lure me here?"

'What? Of course, it's to make batteries! ’

With a word of complaint in his heart, Qingming rushed forward, swinging the short sword in his hand one after another, hitting the vital points of the Kirigakure Anbu.

Although the Kirigakure Anbu seemed to be talking just now, he actually did not relax at all.

So, the moment Qingming took action, he reacted and swung the kunai in his hand to block the attack from Qingming.

For a while, the sound of ding-dong rang continuously in the field, and Qingming's level 5 "swordsmanship" was so powerful.

Combined with the three magatama Sharingan, it took only dozens of moves to suppress the Kirigakure Anbu.

Swish~

Another sword stabbed out, and the Kirigakure Anbu's dodge was a little slow, and Qingming left a deep scar on his shoulder.

This is not over yet!

Then, at the moment when the two people's eyes crossed, Qingming put away the sword and formed a seal, and performed the "Illusion Sharingan" at the fastest speed.

Although the power of this ‘Genjutsu Sharingan’ was average due to the short preparation time, it also caused the Kirigakure Anbu to lose consciousness for a short time.

Taking this opportunity, Qingming swung his sword and cut off a large piece of flesh from the opponent’s left arm.

If he hadn’t woken up at the last moment and dodged, it would probably not be as simple as a piece of flesh.

After all, Qingming’s target just now was his entire arm.

‘This can’t go on.’

The Kirigakure Anbu was anxious.

He had already seen that Qingming’s swordsmanship level was very high, and it was difficult for him to keep up with the opponent’s rhythm in close combat.

Add to that the existence of the Sharingan, and he was even less of an opponent.

If this kind of battle continued, there was no other result except being worn out to death.

He even had a vague feeling that Qingming seemed to be holding back on purpose, otherwise the opponent would not have missed a chance to attack his fatal vitals when he was hit.

However, the fact is that the opponent’s attacks on several occasions could indeed seriously injure him, but they would not be fatal.

‘What does the opponent want to do? Capture me alive? ’

The Kirigakure Anbu was confused and thought for a long time, but there was no result.

So, he stopped thinking about it and started to think about how to use this to get out of the current predicament.

‘Perhaps, I can only take a gamble. ’

After thinking for a long time, the Kirigakure Anbu made up his mind.

Two minutes later.

When Qingming found another opportunity and stabbed with a sword.

The Kirigakure Anbu did not dodge to the sides as he expected, but took the sword hard, and then took the opportunity to forcibly distance himself.

Seeing this, Qingming's expression changed slightly, and he immediately stepped up to catch up.

But at this moment, the well-prepared Kirigakure Anbu took out three smoke bombs from their ninja tool bag and smashed them on the ground.

The next moment, the smoke dispersed, obscuring Qingming's vision.

When he approached carefully, the Kirigakure Anbu had completed the seal and performed the Kirigakure Village's signature ninjutsu - Water Style·Kirigakure Technique!

In just a blink of an eye, a thick layer of white fog gathered around, greatly restricting Qingming's Sharingan.

It can be seen that the opponent has no lack of experience in fighting Sharingan.

This is also consistent with some of the situations he has learned.

For example, most of the middle and upper-level ninjas of the Uchiha clan were assigned to the battlefield against the Kirigakure and Sand Ninjas.

You know, both of them have ways to deal with Sharingan, the former is this 'Water Style·Kirigakure Technique', and the latter is a mechanical puppet.

If you say there is no trick here, Qingming will not believe it even if he is beaten to death.

Obviously, the village is deliberately weakening the strength of the Uchiha clan.

So did the Uchiha high-level officials know this?

The answer is obvious.

However, the Uchiha clan could not refuse the righteousness, and most of the Uchiha ninjas were not afraid of fighting, so they obeyed the village's dispatch.

But this undoubtedly exacerbated the conflict between the village and the Uchiha clan.

As for being forced to move out of the core area of ​​the village after the Nine-Tails Rebellion, that was just the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Shaking his head, Qingming stopped thinking about it and looked at the thick fog around him.

Although he couldn't see it, he could feel that the Kirigakure Anbu was hiding nearby, like an experienced hunter, waiting for the moment when he showed his flaws.

However, Qingming didn't want to play the game of "hide and seek" with the other party. After all, this place was in the territory of the Land of Earth and not far from the battlefield. Over time, accidents were inevitable.

So, it's better to solve it as soon as possible!

With this thought, Qingming raised his hands, quickly completed the seal, opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and then mixed it with the wind escape chakra and spit it out together.

This was no other ninjutsu, but the ‘Wind Style: Great Breakthrough’ that he had mastered to level 3 (410/1000).

As soon as this technique was used, the surrounding thick fog was immediately stirred and dispersed, and when the hurricane stopped, there was no more white fog in the field.
