Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~

Dozens of kunai shot like raindrops, covering the area where Qingming was before.

Then, a violent explosion sounded.

I saw that a detonating talisman suddenly exploded in the kunai, making a loud noise.

And this was just the beginning.

Boom, boom, boom~

Explosions sounded one after another.

Shock waves swept around.

The nearby trees were shaken constantly by the wind, and some of the ones that were closer were directly blown off the trunk and fell down.

In addition, because of the flames produced by the detonating talismans, many surrounding trees were also ignited, making the environment here even worse.

Pah~

After everything returned to calm, Qingming crawled out from under a broken tree and spit out the foreign objects in his mouth.

He reached out to throw away the weeds above his head, stood up, and looked vigilantly in the direction where the kunai came from.

In the smoke and dust, dozens of blurred figures stood with their arms folded, looking at this side quietly.

‘Wind Style: Great Breakthrough~’

Beside Qingming, a Konoha jonin who had also escaped the disaster, formed seals with his hands, opened his mouth, and performed this technique.

Hu——

A gust of wind blew past, sweeping away the smoke and dust in the field.

At the same time, the figures in the distance also revealed their figures. They were none other than a dozen ninjas from the Hidden Rock Village.

Qingming's eyes swept through these people one by one, and finally fixed on the one in the middle.

There was no other reason, this person had the most chakra in his body, and he felt the most dangerous.

As for the others.

Except for a few jonin who could catch his eye, the rest of them were the elite among the chunins, but he didn't take them seriously.

And while he was observing these people, these people were also observing him, especially the one in the middle, who said: "As expected of a genius of the Uchiha clan, he was able to discover our ambush in advance. Can you tell me where we made a mistake?"

‘Discovered the ambush in advance? ’

Qingming was speechless.

He just showed some abnormality because he suddenly received the memory sent back by the shadow clone.

As a result, in the eyes of the other party, it was understood that he had discovered the ambush in advance.

Maybe if he went a little further, he could really discover the ambush.

But at that time, he really didn't find anything.

It can only be said that this was a wonderful misunderstanding.

If the other party hadn't been too anxious and thought he was exposed, and quickly launched a sneak attack, Qingming would not have been able to detect the danger in advance.

At that time, if the other party had waited patiently for a while, he would definitely find that this was just a misunderstanding.

Unfortunately, there is no if in everything, and Qingming would not take the initiative to explain the reason. It's good to let the other party figure it out.

However, from this incident, Qingming also discovered one of his shortcomings, that is, the lack of large-scale exploration methods.

'This point must be made up in the future. '

Thinking so in his heart, Qingming said to the Rock Hidden Ninja: "Guess."

"Guess?"

Hearing the teasing in Qingming's words, the Rock Hidden Ninja waved his hand and planned to let his subordinates launch an attack.

But at this moment, Qingming and the Konoha jonin beside him turned around and ran straight into the distance.

It turned out that while Qingming was talking, he had secretly signaled to the Konoha jonin who was traveling with him, asking him to prepare to retreat together.

Then, this scene appeared in front of him.

Looking at the two people flying away quickly, the face of the Rock Hidden Ninja darkened and he shouted: "Chase!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Upon hearing this, more than a dozen Rock Hidden Ninjas immediately responded and chased after him.

And the Rock Hidden Ninja stood in place, forming seals with both hands, and I don't know what ninjutsu he performed. He touched the ground with his right foot and disappeared.

······

On the other side.

Qingming and the Konoha jonin beside him sent signals to the main force while running.

Suddenly, a slight vibration came from under their feet.

Qingming and the Konoha jonin beside him looked at each other, without any hesitation, and immediately split to the left and right and retreated violently backwards.

Almost at the moment they retreated, the ground under their feet exploded, and a large amount of soil and gravel splashed, forcing Qingming and the others to retreat again and again.

‘Detonating Talisman? ’

‘No, that’s not right! ’

Qingming just had this idea in his mind, and he denied it.

Not to mention that the sound and movement were not the state of the detonating talisman after it exploded, there could be no detonating talismans on this road alone.

You know, in order to avoid being trapped, they chose the road they just came from.

Nothing happened just now, so it doesn’t make sense for something to happen now.

So, there must be something wrong.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qingming looked ahead.

When the smoke and dust dissipated, he saw a figure with his fists clenched, standing in a big pit.

This person was none other than the Rock Village Jonin who made Qingming feel vaguely threatened.

Qingming looked at the other party’s clenched fists, and then looked at the big pit exploded under his feet.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and cast his gaze on the other party again, carefully examining his appearance - a slightly thin figure, shriveled cheeks, and brown afro.

All of this was so "familiar".

Qingming looked at the other party and asked tentatively: "Hori?"

Yes, the other party's appearance reminded him of the member of the Iwagakure Village Demolition Squadron who was resurrected by Kabuto Yakushi during the Fourth Ninja World War - Hiri.

The bloodline limit - Explosion, which the other party possessed, could be used to create explosions, right?

Sure enough, after hearing his words, Shou frowned and asked, "Do you know me?"

This meant that he agreed.

However, Qingming's face did not show the excitement of meeting an 'acquaintance', but only a faint fear.

There was no other reason. To some extent, Shou was quite restrained towards him.

The opponent usually fought with a pair of fists, so his melee ability was very good.

If it was just that, it would be fine. In terms of melee, Qingming was not afraid of anyone. The key was the opponent's explosive escape.

It can condense chakra on its fists and make objects explode through contact. Looking at the big pit under its feet, it can be seen that the power must be good.

And this is a big killer for flesh and blood. As long as it is touched, there is almost no chance of survival.

This means that the opponent can completely adopt the "injury for injury" strategy to limit his vision blocking tactics.

As long as the opponent can be sure that his next sword will not kill him, he can take the opportunity to counterattack, thus forcing him to dodge or return to help.

Therefore, Qingming said that the opponent was somewhat restrained towards him.

However, not being able to use the vision blocking tactic does not mean that he cannot threaten the opponent.

Let alone other things, the Sharingan illusion alone is enough to make the opponent drink a pot.

Hearing the footsteps approaching quickly behind him, Qingming no longer hesitated, opened his mouth and pretended to answer the other party's question, suddenly activated the Sharingan, raised his hand and cast the 'Illusion·Sharingan'.

'Not good! '

Shou immediately sensed the danger, and while retreating violently, he was about to close his eyes.

However, Qingming's 'Illusion·Sharingan' had already been promoted to the perfect state of lv7 (0/0), and it could be cast with a wave of his hand, and the opponent had no time to react.

Almost in an instant, the opponent was controlled.
