Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Dongdongdong~

Heavy and rapid footsteps sounded in the forest.

Every time Lao Zi landed, a charred pit would be burned on the ground, and the flowers, plants and trees that were close to it would be instantly ignited.

At this moment, Lao Zi was like the God of Fire, terrifying.

Looking at the lava armor on his body and feeling the scorching heat on it, Qing Ming frowned and had no intention of contacting it.

Putting away the dagger, Qing Ming performed the "Instant Body Technique" and rushed straight into the crowd.

Seeing this, Lao Zi shouted: "Get out of my way!"

As he said, he chased Qing Ming.

Seeing this, the Rock Ninjas along the way dared not block the way. They were like frightened rabbits, and their footsteps quickly scattered to both sides.

But Qing Ming still wanted to use them to contain Lao Zi, so how could he let them go easily?

So, he turned around and rushed towards the Rock Ninjas who had just avoided him.

Nagashima Tomohisa saw his intention at a glance, so he ordered these rock ninjas to attack while forming seals and performing ninjutsu to prevent Qingming from approaching.

Puff~ Puff~ Puff~

Rock spikes suddenly emerged from the ground and pierced into Qingming's vital points, blocking his way forward.

Qingming seemed to have no way to escape, but since he dared to charge, he was sure of it.

The Sharingan was fully activated, and the process of these rock spikes appearing was like slow motion. Qingming dodged them easily.

Not only these rock spikes, but also the ninja tools and props thrown by other rock ninjas were accurately dodged by Qingming.

The power of the Sharingan was fully demonstrated by Qingming in this chaotic situation.

"Swish", Qingming flashed into the crowd.

Suddenly, the crowd was in a mess again.

Lao Zi in the back wanted to take action several times, but when he saw the rock ninjas beside Qingming, he endured it.

As a Jinchūriki, many people in the village have prejudices against him.

If he attacks indiscriminately and attacks his own people now, I am afraid that public opinion will explode directly.

When he thought of that scene, Lao Zi couldn't help but shudder.

It is said that words are the sharpest weapon. If he falls to the point of being criticized by thousands of people, no matter how strong his heart is, he will not be able to bear it.

What's more, the Hidden Rock Village is not without the power to subdue him. Apart from anything else, Ohnoki alone is enough to suppress him.

If he really offends the public and forces Ohnoki to take action, then the trouble will be big.

With scruples in his heart, Lao Zi's actions naturally slowed down.

As the object of pressure, Qingming naturally noticed the sudden change in Lao Zi's behavior at the first time.

So, the corners of his mouth curled up a little.

The development of things is just as he expected. The existence of these rock ninjas really made Lao Zi afraid to attack with all his strength.

Next, he just needs to continue to delay time and wait for Minato Namikaze to arrive.

······

Time passed by minute by minute.

The rock ninjas in the field were scattered more and more, and it took longer and longer for him to move from one place to another.

Correspondingly, the gap left for Lao Zi to attack was getting longer and longer.

Gradually, Qing Ming's heart was lifted.

Bang~

Another magma ball came.

Qing Ming dodged and then used the ninjutsu - Wind Style: Wind Blade!

This was the only ninjutsu among all his ninjutsu that could hurt Lao Zi. The high attack power of the wind blade could just cut through Lao Zi's lava armor.

At first, he used this technique and caught Lao Zi off guard, leaving a shallow scar on him.

But now, he can only delay time.

It was seen that Lao Zi in the back faced the rapidly shooting wind blade, and immediately mobilized more chakra to thicken the lava facing the wind blade.

Zizizizi~

The wind blade cut through it, making a harsh sound, but in the end it still failed to cut through Lao Zi's lava armor.

After the wind blade dissipated, Lao Zi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he continued to chase Qing Ming.

As for why he didn't hide?

The reason is very simple. Although the lava armor enhances his attack and defense, it limits his movement speed.

And the 'Wind Style: Wind Blade' happens to be known for its speed, Lao Zi can't hide at all.

So, he can only resist it.

It is for this reason that Qing Ming can use this technique to delay time.

A few minutes later, the battle between Lao Zi and Qing Ming suddenly became fierce.

There was no way, there were no rock ninjas around, and Qing Ming could only face the opponent alone.

And Lao Zi didn't have to be restrained. Relying on his huge amount of chakra, he used various large-scale lava style ninjutsu.

In a short while, the surroundings turned into a lava purgatory, with flames and flowing magma everywhere, which greatly limited Qing Ming's evasion space.

Only Qingming's Sharingan was powerful enough to dodge when the opponent cast a spell, otherwise he might be defeated by the opponent.

Of course, it would be a bit ridiculous to say that he could kill him.

With his current strength, there are people in the ninja world who can kill him, but there are definitely not many, and they definitely do not include the opponent.

If it weren't for the fact that Lava Release was too restraining to his combat system, and the lava armor restricted the use of his Sharingan illusion, the opponent's strength would never have forced him to this point.

However, this also reminded Qingming.

‘Perhaps, the development of the third chakra attribute should be put on the agenda. ’

As for which attribute to develop?

Before, Qingming also planned to develop the lightning attribute, and wanted to use the lightning escape to further strengthen his body.

Now.

Qingming plans to develop water attribute chakra.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to meet similar opponents in the future.

Qingming doesn't want to be so frustrated anymore.

In addition, water escape ninjutsu is also famous for its wide coverage.

As long as he has enough chakra, he can use it as a starting move to create a combat environment suitable for him.

All kinds of thoughts flashed in his mind, Qingming gathered his thoughts and continued to entangle with Lao Zi.

The powerful insight of the Sharingan, coupled with its own flexibility, made Qingming unable to confront Lao Zi head-on, but he would not be injured.

Although Lao Zi was not afraid of Qingming's attack, he was also unable to hurt Qingming.

In this way, the situation was stagnant.

Time continued to pass.

Just when Qingming was getting impatient, there was a commotion among the outer rock ninjas, and then a figure appeared in the field.

The person who came was none other than Minato Namikaze.

He looked at the mess on the ground and said to Qingming: "Sorry, I'm late. The situation in the north is a bit bad. I'll go there first."

Qingming had actually expected this.

Because not long ago, he felt the violent aura of the Five-Tails in the north, and Minato Namikaze had not come over, so he had this guess in his mind.

It was for this reason that he persisted until now.

Otherwise, he would have run away long ago, and why would he fight with Lao Zi here?

It's impossible to ask him to take the blame for others!
