Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

"Kimura? Damn it!"

Kamihara Nobunaga cursed when he saw Kawachi Kima spitting blood and flying backwards, and quickly took out a kunai again and rushed towards Qingming.

At the same time, Shimazu Shinya, who had just dodged to make way, also knew that he had done something stupid, and immediately stepped forward to remedy it.

Unfortunately, Qingming had already torn a hole in the group, how could they complete the encirclement again?

With a thought, the 'Illusion Sword Technique' was performed, and Qingming went straight to Shimazu Shinya, who was closest.

Shimazu Shinya saw Qingming's dagger, his expression was trance, and his movements inevitably showed a flaw.

Qingming saw the opportunity and was about to punch hard.

At this moment, another Iwagakure ninja who had just been blocked by Qingming rushed up and blocked Shimazu Shinya.

Ding~

The kunai and the dagger collided, making a crisp metal collision sound.

Then there was a harsh friction sound, and just as the two were in a stalemate, Qingming suddenly raised his left hand and held it upright in front of his chest.

Seeing this familiar action, both the Iwagakure jonin in front of him and Shimazu Shinya, who had just come to his senses behind him, changed their faces.

They did not forget that not long ago, Qingming made a seal with one hand and performed the wind escape ninjutsu.

According to that seal speed, once Qingming started to perform, they might not even be able to dodge.

So, the two of them did not hesitate and immediately dodged to both sides.

"Hehe~"

Seeing the actions of the two, Qingming chuckled, then turned around and faced the approaching Kanhara Nobunaga.

"Huh?"

Kanhara Nobunaga was startled and slowed down his pace unconsciously.

Then Qingming quickly completed the seal with his left hand, opened his mouth, and spit out a ball of fire that looked like a balsam seed.

These balls of fire were like elves in the fire, and they surrounded him flexibly.

Without any hesitation, Kanhara Nobunaga stopped immediately, then jumped back and left the spot.

However, those fireballs were relentless and continued to chase him.

Kanhara Nobunaga's face was solemn, and he retreated while making seals.

Finally, at the critical moment, Kanhara Nobunaga completed the seal and performed the ninjutsu - Water Style: Water Array Wall!

A water wall rose in front of him, blocking the fireball in front of him. The flames and water flow met, making a sizzling sound.

At the same time, a large amount of water vapor appeared, gathered together, and formed a layer of light white mist.

Seeing this, Kanhara Nobunaga rushed forward, his body passed through the layers of white mist, and instantly avoided the large number of fireballs that were bypassing the water wall on both sides.

Although Qingming could control these fireballs to change their flight trajectory, there was a limit after all, and there was no way to make a 180-degree turn.

Therefore, when Kanhara Nobunaga staggered, he had to give up the attack.

Boom boom boom~

These fireballs hit the ground, creating charred holes one after another, and their power can be seen.

It takes a long time to say all this, but it actually happened in an instant.

It was not until Qingming's attack failed that Shimazu Shinya and another Iwagakure jonin, who had just dodged, realized that they had been fooled.

So, they formed seals one after another and prepared to use ninjutsu to attack Qingming.

Unfortunately, their movements were too slow.

After judging that the "Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique" would not work, Qingming changed direction and set the target of the attack on the two again.

So, just as they were about to form seals, Qingming threw out six shurikens, heading straight for their vital points.

As a last resort, the two could only dodge first.

And this dodge gave Qingming a chance.

Without any hesitation, he took out a dozen shurikens again, and then his hands flew, like a fairy scattering flowers, throwing all these shurikens at the two.

The two were thrown into a panic by Qingming's superb ninja tool throwing skills, and when they stopped, they could only hear the warning of Kanhara Nobunaga.

"Be careful!"

Instinctively, Shimazu Shinya lowered his head.

Swoosh~

A nearly two-meter-long transparent wind blade passed over his head, and a few broken hairs slowly fell, which made Shimazu Shinya scared.

However, before he could celebrate his escape, a scream suddenly came from behind him on the left.

"Huh?"

Shimazu Shinya's heart trembled, and he looked back and saw that the companion who had just dodged Qingming's attack with him had half of his right arm fallen to the ground.

At the same time, there was a wound of about ten centimeters across his right chest, leaving a neat incision.

A large amount of blood and organs flowed out of the incision, and he made a painful sound from his mouth. It seemed that he was not going to survive.

Obviously, Qingming's attack just now was not aimed at him only. Qingming consumed a lot of chakra to condense such a wind blade, aiming to kill two birds with one stone.

Shimazu Shinya reacted quickly, and with the timely warning from Kanhara Nobunaga, he avoided the attack, but another Iwagakure jonin who was not far away from him was not able to do so.

If he didn't die after being swept by the wind blade on the spot, who would die?

However, Qingming was able to perform this move so quickly, thanks to his hard work over the past ten days.

Because of the large amount of chakra invested, his 'Wind Style: Wind Blade' was also upgraded like 'Rasengan'.

At this time, his proficiency has been upgraded from lv4 (1660/2000) to lv5 (870/5000).

And lv5 is a watershed, which is already perfect in C-level ninjutsu.

Although the ‘Wind Style: Wind Blade’ was not perfected due to its high level, it was much faster to perform after the upgrade.

In addition, it has the characteristics of ‘fast attack speed and good concealment’, so Qingming is more comfortable to perform it now.

Just like the ‘Rasengan’, once it is performed, it has a remarkable effect.

After losing two people in a short period of time, even if Kanhara Nobunaga is a real jonin and much stronger than his three companions, he dare not attack rashly at this time.

There is no other reason. As the number of people decreases, the threat of Qingming’s Sharingan to them gradually increases.

Before, when there were many people, they didn’t have to worry too much about Qingming’s Sharingan illusion, because even if someone was hit by the illusion, others could help block and remove the illusion.

But now, there are only him and Shimazu Shinya left. If one of them doesn’t cooperate well, Qingming might catch the opportunity.

By then, it is not impossible for the whole army to be annihilated.

So, he didn’t dare to attack rashly.

Shimazu Shin is also the same.

However, in contrast to them, Qingming is now much more relaxed.

There is no other reason. The siege of four people and the pincer attack of two people are completely different concepts. The difficulty of dealing with the two is more than doubled.

Facing the siege of four people, Qingming cannot be careless at all, otherwise he will fall into a disadvantage and be exhausted step by step.

But if there are only two enemies, it will be much simpler.

Not to mention that he has opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, the power of the illusion has greatly increased. Even if it is not opened, he can deal with it more easily.

At least, there will be no danger.

However, Qingming does not want to deal with it so simply. He wants to take this opportunity to test the power of the Mangekyō.

As soon as this idea came up, Qingming could not suppress it.

After a struggle between heaven and man, he decided to give it a try.

Of course, considering that there are many people around, he does not intend to use any too obvious means, but only intends to test some of the enhancements of the Mangekyō Sharingan to the illusion.

He wanted to see what a well-rounded jonin could do against this level of illusion.

This way, he would have a reference for when he fights with others in the future.

With this thought in mind, Qingming raised his sword and rushed towards Shimazu Shinya who was closer.
