Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Boom~

Just then, an explosion came from the forest not far away.

Nagashima Tomohisa and the Iwagakure Special Jonin beside him looked at each other, and then they all performed the "Instant Body Technique" and ran to the place where the explosion occurred.

However, when they arrived, there were only a few bodies of Iwagakure Junior Ninjas, one of which was blown beyond recognition.

Obviously, this was the result of being hit by the detonating tag at close range.

As for the other bodies

Nagashima Tomohisa carefully checked them and found that they were all hit in the vitals with one blow, leaving them with no strength to resist, and the weapon that killed them was a short sword.

The situation was already very clear, and the person who made the move was basically locked on to Qingming.

It was ridiculous that they were just looking for someone, but they didn't expect that he had already touched them under their noses and killed several people.

What's more terrifying is that this may just be the beginning.

As the two were thinking about this, a scream came from not far away.

Without any hesitation, the two rushed to the scene immediately. A black shadow appeared at the end of their vision and then quickly disappeared into the dense forest.

The two did not rush to chase, but stopped at the scene.

There are still two survivors here. Perhaps there are too many rock ninjas gathered here, or the time left for the enemy is too short.

In short, these two people survived.

Nagashima Tomohisa looked at the two and asked sternly: "Who is the enemy?"

Although he already had the answer in his mind, he still wanted to confirm it.

"It's the 'Ghost Sword'!" ×2

Hearing Nagashima Tomohisa's question, the two survivors answered in unison.

When speaking, the voice was a little trembling.

Obviously, they were scared.

Hearing this affirmative answer, Nagashima Tomohisa's heart sank, and he thought to himself that this was trouble.

They had planned to help Lao Zi, but now it seems that they can only protect themselves first.

Boom~

At this moment, another explosion was heard accompanied by screams.

Obviously, another team was hit hard.

Nagashima Tomohisa's expression turned cold, and he looked at the special jonin beside him and said, "Hanagi, notify the other teams immediately to suspend the operation.

From now on, each team will meet nearby, and we can't let the enemy defeat them one by one."

"Yes, Captain!"

Yamashita Hanagi responded seriously, and then left.

······

At the same time.

The explosion occurred.

Qingming pulled the dagger out of the chest of an Iwagakure Chunin, glanced back at the empty dense forest, and secretly said it was a pity.

As early as when he disguised himself as an Iwagakure ninja and saw Nagashima Tomohisa and Lao Zi walking together, he knew that this person must also be a commander.

If he could kill him, it would definitely cause chaos for the Iwagakure ninja on the mountain.

Therefore, he just deliberately exposed a flaw, hoping that the other party could catch up.

If Nagashima Tomohisa really caught up, he would definitely burst out with all his strength and kill the other party in the shortest time.

Unfortunately, the other party was too cautious and did not choose to chase.

This made Qingming a little disappointed.

However, it was just a little disappointment. Anyway, with the strength of these rock ninjas, even if someone was in charge, they could not pose any threat to him.

So, if they didn't chase him, then they didn't chase him!

At most, he would kill fewer people and let Yamanaka Kiku and others bear more pressure.

Yamanaka Kiku:

Qingming put away his short sword, jumped to the treetop, glanced at the surrounding battlefield, locked one of the rock ninja teams, and ran over again.

In this way, before Yamanaka Kiku and others launched an attack, Qingming had already slaughtered all the rock ninja teams.

By doing so, he also replenished some chakra, so that the chakra in his body that had just been reduced due to the fight with Lao Zi was restored to full state again.

And when Yamanaka Kiku and others launched an attack, Qingming reduced the frequency of his attacks.

Even from time to time, he would perform a "palm fairy technique" to condense the Yang escape chakra to strengthen his body, and the main purpose was to slack off.

This was not that he deliberately put pressure on Yamanaka Kiku, but that his main focus was on the battle between Lao Zi and Namikaze Minato.

The victory or defeat on their side is the key.

As for this side

It's not that Qingming looks down on them, but that they are not important at all!

Although it hurts, this is the fact.

Therefore, Qingming will not kill too many people.

······

In a flash, nearly half an hour has passed.

The battle outside is in full swing, and the battle inside is also quite fierce.

After more than 20 minutes of fierce fighting, Lao Zi has already shown signs of defeat.

It can be felt that the breath of the tailed beast on his body is a little weaker, and the chakra belonging to the tailed beast on the surface of his body is also a little dim.

It can be foreseen that if he continues to consume like this, he will definitely lose.

Not only Qingming thinks so, but also Namikaze Minato and Gamabunta think so.

However, the development of things is always full of surprises.

Just when several people thought that Lao Zi was no longer able to do it, they were secretly preparing to stop him from escaping.

I don't know if it was because the battle lasted too long, Lao Zi's reason was too eroded by the will of the tailed beast, and he lost his subjective consciousness, or he did it on purpose.

In short, the seal of the four-tailed beast was torn open by him.

In other words, the four-tailed beast is out of control.

Roar——

A violent roar was heard, and the tails behind Lao Zi instantly changed from two to four, and quickly transformed from chakra form to entity.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

Four scarlet tails were pulled out and turned into an airtight net, blocking Minato Namikaze who wanted to approach and perform the sealing technique.

"Trouble"

Minato Namikaze returned to Gamabunta and murmured as he looked at Lao Zi who was rapidly transforming into a tailed beast.

Hearing this, Gamabunta, who had more injuries on his body, said seriously: "It is indeed trouble."

Swish~

A figure appeared beside Minato Namikaze.

The person who came was none other than Qingming.

He looked at Lao Zi, whose body had half turned into four tails, and said: "Should we leave? This guy is not easy to deal with. It is better to leave it to the Hidden Rock Village to deal with it themselves."

Hearing this, Minato Namikaze looked at Qingming unexpectedly.

Originally, he thought that Qingming had such strong strength at such a young age, and he would be a little arrogant.

In addition, he was a member of the Uchiha clan, and he should not leave without even seeing the true face of the enemy.

I never thought that Qingming would be so rational. He only suggested retreating when he saw some signs of danger.

However, it was impossible to retreat.

It was not that Minato Namikaze was a saint who had to fight the Four-Tails by himself, but that the Four-Tails was staring at him now.

Once he left, the other party would definitely take out his anger on the people around him.

And around.

Although there were the most ninjas in the Hidden Rock Village, there were also many ninjas in Konoha. Minato Namikaze did not want them to die meaninglessly.

So, he could only stay temporarily.

However, others could retreat first.

With this thought, Minato Namikaze said directly: "I will stay to contain the other party, and you take the others away immediately."

Hearing this, Qingming said inwardly: "As expected!".

Then, he stopped talking, nodded, and left directly with a 'flash body technique'.

Looking at Qingming who was still clean and neat, Minato Namikaze didn't know what to say.
