Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Three hours later.

It's approaching evening.

Qingming finally digested the chakra contributed by the four Iwagakure Chuunin.

After that, he skillfully performed the C-level ninjutsu - Fire Release and Hao Fireball Jutsu, and completed the work of destroying corpses and eradicating traces.

Then, he went non-stop to a place closer to the battlefield, searching for the next target.

Qingming knew that the Third Raikage could only last three days, and after three days, he would die of exhaustion.

By then, Iwagakure will have its hands free, and if he acts again, the risk will increase dramatically.

Therefore, he must seize the time and improve himself as much as possible in these three days. After that, he must consider leaving the Kingdom of Earth.

With this thought in his mind, Qing Ming couldn't help but speed up his steps.

······

In a flash, the time came three days later.

This afternoon.

In a stone forest near the northwest border of Earth Kingdom, more than twenty rock ninjas were lying on the ground, making one or two painful groans from time to time. They were obviously wounded.

In front of them were Qing Ming and his four shadow clones.

Logically speaking, he should be happy to have captured so many Iwa Ninjas, but at this time, there was no joy on Qing Ming's face.

Without him, the information about him would most likely have been leaked.

Qing Ming cast his gaze on the Iwagakure Jōnin in front of him. Even though the opponent's hands were crippled and there was a twisted and hideous wound on his chest, there was still no fear in his eyes.

Seeing Qing Ming looking over, the other party said fiercely: "Uchiha kid, just wait, someone will come to you soon.

If you can defeat me, how can you defeat the entire Iwagakure Village?

If you kill so many of us, the Third Generation Master will not let you go."

"Noisy!"

When Qing Ming heard this, he frowned, looked at the shadow clone next to him, and said, "Tell him to shut up!"

The next moment, the shadow clone flashed and came to the back of the Iwagakure jounin. Then he dropped his sword and knocked him unconscious.

"Takagi Jounin!"

Seeing that the Iwagakure jounin was knocked unconscious, several Iwagakure jounin in the crowd immediately shouted.

This time, without Qing Ming's orders, the other three shadow clones immediately dispatched, knocking out all the rock ninjas in the field in an instant.

Qing Ming looked at the rock ninjas all over the place and felt that it was difficult to handle.

Just as the Iwagakure jounin said just now, he can defeat one person, but he cannot defeat the entire Iwagakure village.

Well.

At least not possible now.

But what he is about to face is likely to be pursued and intercepted by many Iwa ninjas.

All this started ten minutes ago.

At that time, after he discovered the wounded gathering point, he observed it for a while and determined that the guarding force only had one special jounin and three Iwagakure chuunin, so he took action directly.

However, at the height of the battle, a jounin suddenly appeared among the wounded, and not a special jounin, but a real jounin.

This time, Qing Ming was caught off guard.

If it weren't for his excellent swordsmanship and the assistance of Sharingan, and at the critical moment, he would use the "Rasengan" that does not need to be sealed to give the opponent a hard blow.

Now, maybe the battle is not over yet!

Even so, he did not stop the opponent's psychic beast. It was a pangolin and disappeared the moment it got into the soil.

It was precisely because of this that Qing Ming said that his information might have been leaked.

Fighting with the two Jonin, he naturally could not maintain the 'transformation technique', and his true form had already been exposed.

And that pangolin has been hiding for a long time and must have seen all this.

Now, the other party ran away.

It is foreseeable that his appearance will be spread throughout the entire Iwagakure Village before long.

That's all, it's just appearance, a 'transformation technique' can solve it.

The key is that his strength is exposed, so the person who greets him next will definitely not be a chuunin, but at the end it will be a special jounin.

In this case, he must deal with it carefully.

With his current strength, he can deal with one or two jounin, but if this number reaches three, it will be a bit dangerous.

Looking at the arrangements of Yanyin Village today, it is obvious that they are already thinking of ways to deal with him.

However, this still needs to be verified.

With this thought in mind, Qing Ming went straight to an Iwa Ninja guard, woke him up with a few slaps, and then began to use the 'Illusion: Sharingan' to obtain information.

The reason why he didn't attack the two jonin directly was because Qing Ming was afraid of any traps.

Although this possibility was very small, just in case, he decided to start with this Iwagakure chuunin.

To Qing Ming's expectation, he got the information he wanted directly from the other party's mind. Yanyin Village did not encrypt this information at all, or did not think this information was very important.

This saved Qing Ming a lot of trouble.

He quickly closed his eyes and read the relevant information carefully.

After a while, Qing Ming opened his eyes, with a "Sure enough" expression on his face.

According to the other party's memory, Qing Ming has confirmed his guess that Yanyin Village's arrangement today is indeed aimed at him.

Of course, before today, the other party didn't know who he was. They only knew that there was a person or a team hunting Iwa Ninja, and they especially liked to attack the wounded.

So, they followed the traces he left, all the way here, and then set up several traps, waiting for him to take the bait.

Qingming, because the past three days were too smooth, found this gathering place of wounded soldiers, and only confirmed the status of four guards, and did not investigate the situation of the wounded soldiers carefully.

In the end, he was decisively hit.

Only the Third Raikage was not dead yet, and the Cloud Ninja Army had not completely escaped the pursuit range of the Hidden Rock Village, which tied up a lot of people.

Otherwise, if the Hidden Rock Village arranged more high-level ninjas, he would not be able to defeat the opponent so quickly.

By then, let alone victory, it would be good if he could not die here.

Thinking of this, Qingming could not help but feel scared.

"No, we can't stay here for long!"

Qingming stood up suddenly, raised his hand and planned to let those shadow clones deal with the Hidden Rock Ninjas on the ground, and then leave here directly.

However, when he saw the Hidden Rock Ninjas all over the ground, he was still reluctant.

Qingming only calculated these twenty or so Hidden Rock Ninjas a little, and knew that these people could provide him with at least 150,000 chakras.

This is not a small number!

After hesitating for a moment, Qing Ming finally decided to take a gamble and let the shadow clone practice with him to consume these chakras at the fastest speed.

Of course, he made this decision not because he was reluctant to give up these chakras.

Although these chakras are not a small number, with his current chakra recovery speed, it will only take about a week to accumulate them, which is far less important than his life.

The reason why he decided to stay is because he felt that the Hidden Rock Village could not mobilize enough people to threaten him in a short time.

Before discovering this gathering point, he had walked roughly through the surrounding area and did not find any signs of a large number of Rock Ninjas gathering.

In other words, if the Hidden Rock Village wanted to attack him, it could only mobilize people from farther away. It was unknown how long it would take for people to come over?

Moreover, the pangolin sent the information back, and the Hidden Rock Village had to report it to the higher levels for approval, which also took a certain amount of time.

It was precisely because of these considerations that Qing Ming decided to stay and take a gamble.
