Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Time goes back to half a minute ago.

The seven-member Rock Ninja team was running fast in the forest.

Suddenly, Han, the leader, stopped.

The others also stopped when they saw this.

"What's wrong, Han?"

One person asked.

Han raised his hand to signal the other party to be quiet, then closed his eyes and carefully sensed the changes in the chakra in his body.

A few seconds later, a ray of dark red chakra suddenly emerged from his body surface, and the ominous aura revealed in it made the six people around him take a step back involuntarily.

Even the four special jonin were ready to take action and perform a sealing technique specifically for the five-tailed beast.

Unexpectedly, all this was just a false alarm. The ray of dark red chakra only appeared for a few seconds and then disappeared quietly.

Han opened his eyes again, glanced at the four people who were preparing to seal the seal without leaving a trace, and then said: "Someone was spying on me just now, which caused dissatisfaction in the guy in my body."

After that, regardless of how the other six teammates reacted, he started the boiling escape state.

He raised his chakra to boiling point in one breath, and then used the steam to propel his armor, and then drove himself forward, quickly approaching Qingming's position.

Just now, he used the chakra of the Five-Tails to sense the source of the prying eyes.

So, without saying a word, he rushed over directly.

Looking at Han going away, the other six people looked at each other, and then chased after him together.

Although their mission this time was to assist Han and stop Qingming and others from leaving, there was another very important task, which was to keep an eye on Han.

Although Han's condition was very stable and he had no second thoughts about the village, he was a Jinchūriki after all, and he could not get out of control no matter what.

So, they kept an eye on each other.

······

After more than ten seconds.

Qingming looked at the tall figure with steam all over his body and rushing around, and muttered to himself: "Is this boiling escape? It's really domineering!"

Then, he estimated his speed and Hinata Linghuo's speed, as well as the distance between them and Han.

Finally, he came to the conclusion that it was impossible for them to meet up with the main force before the enemy caught up with them if they ran like this.

In this case, there was no need to flee without thinking.

It just so happened that he also wanted to test the enemy's strength.

With this thought, Qingming said to Hinata Linghuo: "The enemy's speed is too fast. I will stay to stop the enemy for a while. You hurry back and report the intelligence here."

"But."

Hearing this, Hinata Linghuo's expression froze. He opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Qingming directly.

"Hurry up and leave. Don't waste time."

Seeing Qingming's firm attitude, Hinata Linghuo glanced at the man who was approaching rapidly in the distance.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, don't fight him head-on. There are six people approaching behind him. I will bring people here as soon as possible."

After that, he performed the "Instant Body Technique" and moved away from Qingming.

Seeing him leave, Qingming twisted his neck and said, "Let me see the strength of the Five-Tails Jinchuriki!"

As he said this, he made seals with his hands, and the three magatama in his pupils spun rapidly, as if he was about to perform some kind of illusion.

At this time, Han had come to a place less than 30 meters away from him. Seeing his appearance, he immediately lowered the bamboo hat on his head to cover his vision.

Seeing this, Qingming smiled slightly, and suddenly put down his hands that were making seals, and then quickly took out six kunai from the ninja tool bag and shot them directly at Han in two batches.

When Han found something wrong, the first batch of three kunai had already arrived in front of him.

However, Han was not panicked at all. He just raised his right arm and blocked it forward.

Then, three "ding ding ding" sounds were heard, and the three kunai were actually knocked out directly.

Seeing this scene, Qingming's pupils shrank slightly. He didn't expect the opponent's armor to be so hard.

If he had seen it correctly, the three kunai should have created a few sparks when they hit the opponent's arm.

'It seems that a simple kunai attack is useless.'

'Fortunately, I was prepared! '

Qingming's thoughts turned rapidly, and his hands shook, and three thin steel wires appeared.

Then, a force spread along the steel wires and finally passed to the three kunai at the other end.

That's right, the second batch of three kunai were tied with steel wires to prevent the simple kunai attack from failing to break the defense.

Facts have proved that his preparations were not in vain.

Qingming used the steel wires to control the second batch of three kunai, letting them rub against Han's body and fly over.

"Huh?"

Han was a little surprised to see this scene, not knowing what Qingming was going to do.

But the next moment, his face changed.

It was nothing, the three kunai flew behind him, suddenly crossed, turned back, and then crossed again, and finally tightened violently, trapping him in place.

If it were just that, it would be fine. He had armor on his body and was not afraid of the damage from these steel wires.

But the problem was that Qingming was already forming a seal, obviously about to perform some kind of ninjutsu.

Without any hesitation, Han immediately mobilized the chakra in his body, instantly raised it to boiling point, and then released it.

The next moment, the full body armor worn on Han was stretched a little by the high-temperature steam.

Then, the steel wire wrapped around the armor was forced to stretch a little.

Then, Han stopped releasing chakra, and the armor shrank. In the process of expansion and contraction, a small gap appeared between the steel wire and the surface of the armor.

Taking this opportunity, Han formed seals with his hands and performed the "substitute technique".

Then, he escaped from the restraint of the steel wire like a loach, leaving only a stone in the original place.

All this happened in an instant.

And almost at the moment when he escaped, Qingming performed the ninjutsu - Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique!

Three lines of fire rushed forward along the steel wire, and in the blink of an eye, they engulfed Han not far away.

However, Qingming stopped performing the technique before the flames continued to burn.

The next moment, a "woooo" sound came from the side, and with it came a sharp wind sound.

Qingming glanced at it and saw a tall red figure rushing towards him. The extremely terrifying power seemed to want to knock him to death directly.

In fact, if the opponent's attack really hit him, he might be killed.

But is it possible?

Qingming had already locked onto the opponent's whereabouts when the opponent used the "Substitute Technique" to avoid his "Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique" attack.

In this way, it is naturally impossible for the opponent to catch him off guard.

With a thought, Qingming kicked the ground with both feet and retreated instantly.

Han rushed straight at him, but only hit the afterimage left by him.

Looking at Han who was passing by quickly in front of him, Qingming suddenly pulled out the dagger, and the magatama in his pupils rotated rapidly, instantly locking onto the gap in the opponent's armor, and stabbed the dagger.

If this sword hit, even if Han did not die, he would be seriously injured.

Therefore, the moment he sensed the danger, Han almost instinctively used the power of boiling escape and ejected a large amount of chakra from his body.

Chichichi~

It sounded like a gas leak.

A large amount of steam was seen gushing out from the gap in Han's armor and rushing straight to Qingming's face.

Feeling the extremely high temperature in the steam, Qingming's face suddenly changed. He didn't dare to resist it, so he had to quickly put away his sword and jumped back.

Despite this, he was still affected by some of the high-temperature steam. In an instant, dense blisters appeared on his face and arms.

Feeling the burning sensation from these blisters, Qingming frowned. The opponent's difficulty was beyond his expectation.
