Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Ding~

The kunai and the dagger clashed, making a crisp sound.

Looking at 'Qing Ming' who was blocking with his sword again, the face under the mask of the ANBU captain was extremely gloomy, and then he jumped back a few times to distance himself.

Seeing this, although Suzune didn't understand the reason, she also stopped attacking and just looked at 'Qing Ming' warily.

‘Qing Ming’ stood there, looking at the Iwagakure Anbu who suddenly distanced himself, and the gloomy eyes under the other person’s mask, and immediately understood what the other person should have discovered.

Simply, he no longer tensed up, but smiled and said: "What's wrong? Keep going!"

Hearing his words, the ANBU captain suddenly said in a calm tone: "Sure enough, you are not Uchiha Seimei, or you are just his shadow clone."

"Shadow clone?"

Hearing this, Suzuyin immediately looked at 'Qing Ming', a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, but it was not unacceptable.

Obviously, both the ANBU captain and Suzune were mentally prepared for this situation.

As for his identity being discovered, 'Qing Ming' doesn't find it strange. The other party may not be able to see the difference with the naked eye, but it is not difficult to guess the answer.

A shadow clone is a shadow clone after all. Because of its limited ability to withstand injuries, he is destined to do some strange actions.

For example, in order to avoid some non-fatal injuries, they frequently give up excellent offensive opportunities.

It's okay to do this once or twice, and it can be assumed that he doesn't want to get hurt, but if it happens more often, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

Because there is no ninja in the ninja world who would do this.

'Qing Ming' estimated that the ANBU captain in front of him guessed the identity of his shadow clone through his strange actions.

However, what surprised him was that the other party's reaction was too bland, as if he had expected it.

"Don't tell me"

Qing Ming suddenly seemed to have thought of something, his eyes swept over the two of them, then looked at the surrounding jungle, and muttered: "No way."

"Is the plan going to change again?"

‘Qing Ming’ was speechless.

At this moment, an invisible wave hit him, causing his body to tremble involuntarily.

Qingming looked up and saw that the female ninja who had been playing support suddenly performed a large-scale attack ninjutsu.

An invisible sound wave centered on her, like a wave, spreading rapidly outward in circles.

Along the way, whether it is flowers, plants, trees, or snakes, insects, rats, and ants, they will tremble involuntarily when they encounter this circle of sound waves.

Moreover, as the attack continued, this tremor continued to increase.

During the attack, 'Qing Ming' felt that the various structures that made up his body were shaking rapidly, as if they would fall apart at any time.

This reminded 'Qing Ming' of a word - resonance.

If this is the case, then the potential of this technique is very terrifying.

However, this has nothing to do with him anymore.

The opponent launched an attack in such an unreasonable way because they took advantage of the shadow clone's limited ability to withstand injuries.

And if he didn't get out of the Ninjutsu's attack range at the first time, the outcome was already doomed.

Simply, 'Qing Ming' stopped wasting chakra, raised his hands, and took the initiative to dispel the 'Shadow Clone Technique'.

Looking at Qingming who turned into a ball of chakra and then disappeared, Suzune finally stopped the ninjutsu, and then gasped for air.

Obviously, performing this kind of ninjutsu is also a huge burden on her.

After a while, Suzune came to the ANBU captain and said: "Captain, I can do it, let's go!"

"Um."

The ANBU captain responded, and then together with Suzune, they returned the same way and chased the other two teammates.

The direction in which these two people were heading was clearly the direction in which Qing Ming's real body was escaping.

It turned out that Qing Ming had not escaped the pursuit of Iwagakure Anbu from beginning to end, but the other party could not distinguish between the two roads, which was his real escape route.

So, the troops divided into two groups and launched a pursuit.

It was precisely because of this that the ANBU captain and Suzune seemed so calm after they discovered that the target they were chasing was the shadow clone.

······

other side.

Qing Ming, who was running fast in the forest, suddenly froze. He quickly separated his mind and read the memory that suddenly appeared in his mind.

After a moment, his expression darkened.

He could naturally think of things that the shadow clone could think of, and the two people's too calm reactions were indeed a bit abnormal.

Combined with the pressure they put on the shadow clone, Qing Ming felt that those two people might not be the only enemies.

Although the ANBU captain was strong, it was not enough to pose a fatal threat to him, even with the help of a special jounin who was good at sonic ninjutsu.

But his instinctive warning before was real.

Therefore, there is a high probability that there are more than just these two enemies.

In other words, there are likely to be pursuers behind him.

Suddenly, Qing Ming stopped and looked back quickly.

One second, two seconds

five seconds, ten seconds

Soon, a minute passed.

The rear area remained calm as usual, with no enemies appearing at all.

"call--"

Breathing a sigh of relief, Qing Ming looked away, and then smiled to himself: "When did I become a frightened bird?"

If you think about it, you will know that even if there is a pursuer behind him, based on his speed in the past period, the opponent may not be able to catch up.

And then, as long as he continues to move at such a high speed, he will not be afraid of the so-called pursuers.

Qingming was about to hurry on his way, but at this moment, he suddenly felt something and looked up at the sky.

The next moment, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his heart couldn't help but stop beating for a few seconds.

Under the moonlight, an eagle was circling, its eyes staring at the earth, like a ghost, without making any sound.

If Qingming didn't have the Sharingan, he might not be able to find the other party.

Although this eagle was no different from other eagles, Qingming's intuition told him that this was the means used by the pursuers behind to monitor him.

If it was just the pursuers, even if he couldn't get rid of the other party, he could still hang on to the other party with his speed advantage. As long as his specific whereabouts were not exposed, it would be difficult for the enemy to block him.

But with this eagle as a monitor, the situation is completely different. The other party can completely grasp his escape route in advance, so as to mobilize manpower and encircle him.

This is the advantage of fighting at home.

"No, I have to get rid of this thing, otherwise I will fall into the pocket sooner or later."

Qingming's brain was running fast, thinking about how to deal with the situation in front of him.

Qingming tried it, but with his current pupil power, he couldn't directly affect the eagle from such a long distance.

As for other ninjutsu, there was even less hope.

"It seems that we can only deal with the person behind it."

Qingming's idea was very simple. Since he couldn't deal with the eagle, he would deal with the person who controlled it. The result would be the same.

"Ah!"

With a sigh, Qingming originally wanted to avoid getting entangled with the pursuers of the Hidden Rock Village, but plans can never keep up with changes.

In this situation, even if he wanted to avoid the battle, it would be impossible.

Fortunately, part of the enemy's combat power was led to another road by the shadow clone, and it would not be able to catch up for a while.

In this way, as long as he moved more quickly, he should not fall into the embarrassing situation of being besieged.
